Chapter 107 Zhang Xin's First Time

Ding Changsheng brought Bernardo Brad to the treatment room, and Zhang Xin was still doing moxibustion for the Chinese youth.

The Chinese youth was lying on the treatment bed, talking non-stop, talking to Zhang Xin out of nothing.

However, Zhang Xin ignored him at all and gave him moxibustion with a cold face.

As the most outstanding goddess of BJ University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Zhang Xin has rich experience in dealing with people who strike up a conversation.

Ding Changsheng didn't need to worry about it at all.

Every time the Chinese young man wanted to turn his head to talk to Zhang Xin, Zhang Xin scolded him directly, "Lie down, don't move around!"Whose fault is it?

I can only turn around and lie down honestly.

Seeing Ding Changsheng bring a white man in, the Chinese youth was even more reluctant to say anything else.

Ding Changsheng took a look and saw that Zhang Xin was also using warm acupuncture.

Although the identification of acupoints is not as good as that of Ding Changsheng, who directly uses his eyes to find and identify acupoints, there is no problem in finding the acupoints.

I studied acupuncture and moxibustion as an undergraduate, and I never let it go.

Just haven't tried it directly on patients.

If it wasn't for the fact that this Chinese youth was too annoying, Zhang Xin might not have done it.

When encountering such an annoying person, Zhang Xin would naturally not be polite and stabbed hard.

The pain deserves it, with such a heart in mind, Zhang Xin's moxibustion is quite satisfactory.

Ding Changsheng looked at it for a while before turning his attention to Bernardo Brad.

At this moment, Bernardo Brad had already taken off his pants, waiting for Ding Changsheng to give him the needle.

Ding Changsheng first tore off the plaster on his leg, then wiped it clean with alcohol cotton, and then began to give him acupuncture.

Ding Changsheng injected the needle very quickly, and he finished it for Bernardo Brad in a short while, and Zhang Xin was not finished yet.

After telling Bernardo Brad to keep the needle for 10 minutes, Ding Changsheng turned his attention to Zhang Xin.

After all, it was Zhang Xin's first time giving needles to a patient, which was different from getting needles on a model or herself.

Ding Changsheng was also worried that Zhang Xin would make a mistake.

Seeing Zhang Xin muttering silently and measuring the acupuncture points with her hands, Ding Changsheng couldn't help laughing.

He could guess that Zhang Xin opened and closed her mouth, although she didn't make a sound, she was reciting the formula for finding and identifying acupoints.

Under the 21 vertebrae of Lumbar Yu, hidden under the fourteen vertebrae of Mingmen,

The sun flourishes under the seven vertebrae, and the volume above the big vertebrae,

After the dumb door, send five points in, and the Fengfu is in the middle of an inch,

On the top of Baihui's ear tip, an inch of light shines before going to the stars,

Look for it at the upper end of the ditch under the nose, and the middle of the person is in the center of the depression.

This kind of formula for identifying acupoints and finding acupoints is something that every Chinese medicine student must recite from their undergraduate studies.

Not only do you have to memorize it, but you also have to actually operate it to find acupuncture points on your body.

These are basic subject knowledge.

Domestic Chinese medicine, because of the common cognitive problems of everyone, no matter whether you have graduated from a bachelor's degree or a graduate student, it is impossible to go to the outpatient clinic.

Either be a doctor in charge of the bed, or go to the Chinese medicine department of some Western medicine hospitals, and be a physical therapist of acupuncture and massage.

Therefore, acupuncture and massage are the most commonly used skills for some freshly graduated Chinese medicine practitioners, or it is the skill for many young Chinese medicine practitioners to make a living.

Ding Changsheng stood aside and watched silently, without making a sound, for fear of putting pressure on Zhang Xin.

After waiting for a while, Zhang Xin finally finished the needle and lit the moxa ball.

Zhang Xin exhaled lightly and wiped the sweat off her forehead.

"Yes, it seems that there will be patients who need moxibustion in the future, and I can leave it to you!" Ding Changsheng encouraged with a smile.

Zhang Xin gave Ding Changsheng a blank look, but didn't speak. Just now he was standing by and watching, which made her a little nervous for no reason.

"Doctor, why is it so hot?" the Chinese youth shouted.

"It's right to be hot! What you need is this heat to cure your illness!" Ding Changsheng laughed.

Warm needling moxibustion uses alloy acupuncture needles, which are heat-conducting. When moxa balls are ignited on the needle handles, the heat will be transferred to the body along the needles.

Use heat energy to stimulate the key points to achieve the effect of warming the meridians, promoting qi and activating blood.

When blood qi circulates faster, yang qi can naturally be bred, which again achieves the effect of warming and tonifying kidney yang.

In fact, the reason why the Chinese young people called it hot was because the moxa ball Zhang Xin used was a bit big and the firepower was a little fierce, so they felt hot and dyed.

This was also caused by Zhang Xin's inexperience.

But the problem is not big, the moxa ball is only a little bigger, the Chinese youth will only feel the heat, but it will not burn the skin.

Otherwise, Ding Changsheng would not let Zhang Xin do this.

Checking the time, Ding Changsheng turned around to give Bernardo Brad an injection, then took out the ointment he made yesterday, scooped out a spoonful, put it on the burlap, and heated it with an alcohol lamp.

After applying it evenly, stick it on Bernardo Brad's knee, because it is the position of the knee, in case Bernardo Brad would lose the ointment when he moves around, Ding Changsheng fixed him with gauze again.

The plaster made by Ding Changsheng is not the kind of plaster produced in the factory, and its own adhesiveness is not so strong.

The reason why those plasters can stick to the body without falling off is not because of the plaster, but because of something else added to it.

Increased stickiness.

After Ding Changsheng put the plaster on Bernardo Brad, Zhang Xin also gave the young Chinese an injection.

In warm needling moxibustion, the time for retaining the needles is shorter than that of ordinary acupuncture. When the moxa balls are burned and the needles are cold, the needles can be raised.

"Sincerely $240!" Ding Changsheng looked at the Chinese youth and said.

"So expensive?"

"Is it expensive? You feel it yourself, do you still have back pain?" Ding Changsheng asked back with a smile.

"Hey! Really! My waist doesn't hurt at all now! It's so comfortable!" The Chinese youth shook his waist and said in surprise.

"Although the waist doesn't hurt anymore, I still have to keep drinking the waist! Come to get the Chinese medicine liquid before five o'clock in the afternoon, and come back for a follow-up visit after drinking the third batch of medicine.

You are just suffering from back pain now, if you continue, the consequences will be very serious and may cause infertility. "Ding Changsheng explained seriously.

"Can this also cause infertility?" The Chinese youth asked in surprise, but he didn't care much on his face.

"Your stuff doesn't work anymore, how can you have a baby?"

"Ah? So serious? I won't be affected now, right?" The Chinese youth was taken aback.

"As long as you take your medicine on time, take a good rest recently, don't have sex with your girlfriend, and don't bother Miss Wu, you won't have any problems." Ding Changsheng explained with a smile.

"Oh!" The Chinese youth blushed suddenly, agreed in a low voice, paid the money, and left the Changsheng Hall in a hurry.

"Doctor Ding, how much is mine?" Bernardo Brad put on his trousers and walked out with the support of his wife.

"Your total is 120 US dollars! You won't be charged for acupuncture, just [-] US dollars!" Ding Changsheng laughed.
