I run a clinic in the United States

Chapter 395 Although the baguette is healthy, it has a shortcoming

Not only that, as time went by, not only did the pricking not hurt, but Teacher Ann Weir was also surprised to find that her lower jaw, which had been in severe pain, was actually less painful and much relieved!
Simply amazing!
In fact, Yang Xuejun's therapy itself has analgesic effect.

She lightly raised her bare hands and followed the meridian to select acupoints like a dragonfly tapping water. She selected the "six wind acupoints" such as Yifeng, Fengfu, Fengchi, and Fengmen. Hegu, Taichong, and Zusanli can be either straight or flat, with a depth of about 0.5 inches, based on the degree of Qi gain, and moxibustion is supplemented in between acupuncture.

Among them, the "Six Wind Points" can invigorate the Wei Yang, making the interstitial muscles dense and difficult for wind evil to invade. At the same time, they can fight against evil, which can cause the acupuncture points. The remaining acupoints enhance the curative effect, warm and unblock the meridians, dispel cold and remove obstruction.

Acupuncture at the Ashi point can quickly relieve pain.

This is warm acupuncture, which can dispel wind and warm meridians, dredge meridians, activate blood circulation, improve muscle and fascia function, smooth joints, and relieve pain, among many other effects. If Yang Xuejun doesn't even have this ability, what face does Yang Xuejun have to claim to be the leader of the new generation of traditional Chinese medicine?
After about half an hour, Teacher Ann Weir felt that she had recovered, but she strongly requested another round.

Although she also knew that the charge would be doubled for another round, it would be a pity not to do it again after such a good experience.

In fact, it was impossible to recover so quickly. The first acupuncture was a great relief, but it was not complete enough, so Yang Xuejun gave her another reinforcement.

"Dr. Zhou, Dr. Yang, thank you so much. Today's experience seems to have opened the door to a new world for me. I never thought that Chinese acupuncture can be so magical." Teacher An Weir also spoke fluently .

The effect can be said to be immediate. And the most important thing is that he was not injured. Those small holes where the needles have been poked can't be touched at all if you touch them carefully.

This disease is most likely to occur in the liver and spleen, while long-term disease affects the kidneys.

In fact, Teacher Ann Weir really doesn't like eating soft food.

When he thought of this, Teacher An Weir was even more impressed and felt that he had come to the right place.

Yang Xuejun smiled slightly and said: "Come for three days in a row. After three days, it should be almost done. Then let Dr. Zhou help recommend some medicines, and you will be completely recovered in a week or two."

After all, Zhou Qiao has been in the United States for more than three years, and his English fluency is no less than that of the natives.

Moreover, the breakfast variety in the United States is very rich, not inferior to that in China.

Zhou Qiao said with a smile: "The baguette is too hard. If you eat it regularly, it will lead to overbite, which is one of the important causes of temporomandibular joint damage."

After Zhou Qiao translated and explained, he finally told Teacher Ann Weir to eat less baguettes in the future. In addition to French sticks, you should also pay attention to avoid chewing hard food and chewing on one side, so as not to cause imbalance of joint function on both sides and cause temporomandibular joint dysfunction.

So I simply left the medication to Zhou Qiao and prepared some local western medicine, which was quick and easy.

"Dr. Zhou, Dr. Yang, can I ask why I suddenly got this disease? Will it relapse in the future?" Teacher An Weir asked with some fear.

Oh, yes, it seems that this medicine is also produced by Dr. Zhou from Iris Clinic. He holds the patent for this medicine, which has benefited countless women.

For example, toast is a very popular dish.

There will be scars.

Zhou Qiao had eaten it before when he went to France. Of course, there are many bakeries in the United States that sell this.

Oh, it seems that there is now a magical drug called "Delska", which is very effective in eliminating scars, but it is very expensive.

Because although she had learned English, it had not been long and she was not as proficient in translating some overly professional things as Zhou Qiao.

However, after not speaking for a long time, I still felt some pulling pain in my jaw after speaking so many words at once.

Secondly, the temporomandibular joints are located on both sides and are adjacent to the jaw. Both sides need to move at the same time and are joint joints. Normally, the two functions are balanced and flexible. If there is unilateral chewing, unilateral dysfunction, etc., resulting in unilateral or strong imbalance, the symptoms will be aggravated.

You know, baguette is her favorite.

For those who have just arrived in the United States, these words alone are very difficult to understand.

But she had to listen to the doctor's words, and she had to say goodbye to her beloved baguette.

Doctor Yang would just talk and Zhou Qiao would translate. Sometimes Zhou Qiao didn't know how to translate, so he would turn to Yang Xuejun to confirm whether that was what he meant and whether there were any errors.
Finally, the medical theory was explained clearly in relatively simple but very verbose words.

If the power controlling joint movement is insufficient, the bones will be affected, and the joints will suffer from limited movement and snapping.

Moreover, the disease came on so suddenly, as if he was cursed by a witch, inexplicably.

Dr. Yang thought for a while and said, "I'd better say it in Chinese, and you can translate it."

So, he threw the power of interpretation to Dr. Yang.

I won’t mention the sequelae and the impact on my career. Just being stabbed a few times is unbearable.

Zhou Qiao feels that it would be more accurate to use the medical theory of traditional Chinese medicine to explain this aspect. Because modern medicine’s research on this disease is actually not as thorough as traditional Chinese medicine. Otherwise, why is it that traditional Chinese medicine has miraculous effects in treating this disease, but modern medicine's methods are too crude and the effect is not good?

"That's it, Teacher An Weir, your illness is probably caused by eating baguettes." Zhou Qiao said.

"Oh my God, will it affect the kidneys?" Teacher Ann Weir was even more frightened, but luckily she came to the right place. Otherwise, if the delay lasts for a long time, the kidneys will not be in good condition, and it will be really...hard to describe in a word. You may not be able to enjoy some pleasant things.

What Yang Xuejun means is probably this: chewing hard food may be chewy, but doing so for a long time will consume qi and blood and damage the muscles and veins. The so-called deficiency of righteousness cannot move, blood congestion stops internally, and blockage causes pain.

For example, when Zhou Qiao first came to San Francisco, he went to a bakery to buy things and only knew two of them: white bread and whole wheat bread. I don't know any other words.

This toast alone can be subdivided into dozens of types, including white bread, whole wheat bread, spelt bread, corn pumpkin bread, Walnut bread (walnut), rye toast (rye), rye round bread (rye rough), German sourdough bread (sourdough), olive bread (olive), baguette (baguette), etc.

Zhou Qiao started with a few simple common causes, asked a few questions, and learned from teacher Ann Weir that she actually likes to eat chewy things. In particular, I love the thick and hard baguette.

"You're welcome. Teacher, it's good that you have recovered. We are still waiting for you to return to school to teach us!" Yoona decided to immediately share the good news with her friends in the choir.

Although Yang Xuejun has obtained an acupuncturist license in California, unfortunately, he does not have the right to prescribe Chinese medicine prescriptions, and there is no matching domestic decoction equipment here. It is obviously unrealistic for foreigners to decoct the medicine themselves.

Americans actually like to line up to buy breakfast in the morning, which is part of American culture.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you very much." Teacher An Weir's face was filled with endless surprises and a flower-like smile, and all the previous apprehensions and worries disappeared.

"What? Eating too many baguettes will lead to this strange disease? Oh my God!" Teacher Ann Weir found it incredible.

"Yooner, thank you for recommending the clinic and doctor to me." She said to herself, if this good student hadn't recommended this place to me, I might not have come here. Then, there is a high probability that the surgery will be performed at the University of California Medical Center, which will be much worse.

Food like baguette is actually a rare healthy food among European and American foods with less sugar, less oil and less salt.

The same goes for the menus in many restaurants. Many words have never been seen before.

Toast is just an example, and there are relatively few types. Americans’ favorite donuts, for example, have more than 100 different flavors.

Baguette bread has three characteristics: it is long, hard and unpalatable.

A foreign boy once compared another "notorious" delicacy in the bread world, "Russian burrito", with baguettes.

When it comes to walnut-cracking, the two companies are equally matched, with both Nokia's kingly demeanor of yesteryear.

However, when the two faced each other head-on, the baguette easily pierced Da Lieba's shell.

Of course, this is because the baguette has the advantage of size. The French stick is equivalent to a "spear" and is relatively slender, while the French stick is a "shield" and is relatively flat. If you choose to fight head-on, no one will win in this competition.

It's probably a lose-lose situation.

Baguette originated in France.

When Zhou Qiao went to the streets of Paris before, he often saw all kinds of people holding a baguette in their hands, under their arms, or in their bags.

It's hard, not only edible, but also used for self-defense.

Not all French people are wealthy. There are also many people who can’t afford foie gras and snails. Not every day is Lafite with steak, and not everyone likes macarons, but no one can live without baguettes. .

In France, baguette is called bread (Baguette). French stick is a name given by the Chinese.

In the United States, a French baguette is split into two pieces and used to make French pizza.

Moreover, the method of making baguette is very particular. Even though it is so cheap, its production technology and culture have been declared by UNESCO to be included in the "Intangible Cultural Heritage" list.

When the results came out that year, everyone in the French delegation held up a baguette and waved it in celebration.

According to French standards, a typical baguette weighs 250g and must be long, not round or square.

Unlike industrial bread, traditional baguettes are made by hand using only four ingredients: flour, water, salt, and yeast.

When making baguettes, the baker combines these four required raw materials into dough, and the temperature of the dough is best controlled between 24°C and 26°C. After mixing, let the dough rest for thirty to forty minutes, then divide the dough into multiple portions, each portion weighing about 250 grams.

分割好之后再让面团在32℃、70%相对湿度的环境下醒发70分钟左右。待面团醒发至80%的状态便可用刀在面团身上划刀口，然后将它送入烤炉，在235℃的烤箱中大约烘烤25-30分钟，法棍便可完成。

Interestingly, the development of baguettes has formed a set of strict "magic" production standards.

For example, a perfect baguette must weigh 250 grams and be 65 centimeters long. Each baguette must have 5 diagonal cuts of similar shapes and sizes.

Some pastry chefs have obsessive-compulsive disorder and strive for perfection.

The raw materials of baguettes are very simple. They are actually similar to steamed buns. However, the biggest difference between bread and steamed buns is that one is baked and the other is steamed with water vapor.

Why does baguette have to be stick-shaped? There are several theories.

One is that stick-shaped bread first appeared during the Napoleonic period. At that time, in order to make it easier for soldiers to carry bread with them, Napoleon issued a decree stipulating that the size of bread supplied to the army must be able to fit into the long pocket of a special military uniform.

Another theory is that the baguette was created by Paris subway workers. It is said that when the Paris Metro was first built, workers came from different regions of France and quarrels were prone to occur. After all, France is the largest country in Western Europe by land area.

These workers all carried a knife for cutting bread, so the knife became a weapon when an altercation occurred. In order to prevent the occurrence of fighting, the supervisor asked the baker to change the size of the bread so that it could be torn by hand instead of cutting with a knife. Later, it developed into the current baguette.

The last theory is that at the beginning of the 20th century, a series of labor movements broke out in France, which resulted in a labor bill aimed at protecting the working class. There was a provision in the bill: no work was allowed between pm and am.

This creates a problem for bakers.

Because traditional round bread is usually large in size and takes several hours to make. If you can't get up to work before 4 o'clock, what will you sell in the morning?

The laws did not trouble the hard-working working people, so the bakers came up with a way to change the shape of the bread to shorten the fermentation and baking time. In this way, fresh bread is available for sale in the morning, and the shape of the baguette is easy to carry, so it is very popular.

Elena likes baking, and after teacher Ann Weir left, she baked many baguettes that day.

They don’t eat it every day, but it’s okay to eat it occasionally. Besides, some of them have been recommended by Zhou Qiao, and their teeth are particularly good. No need to worry about overbite.

This is also the benefit of following Zhou Qiao. Some minor ailments will never happen to them.

……

Baiyan Hospital received a special patient, a young woman. Because it is close to the Mexican border, there are many street girls. This patient is a street girl who has been working for ten years.

Initially, the patient came to the internal medicine outpatient clinic of the hospital because of upper abdominal pain, nausea, loss of appetite, and weight loss.

After arriving at the hospital, the doctor arranged a series of examinations. Among them, the physical examination found that the patient had tenderness in the upper abdomen; abdominal CT showed thickening of the gastric antrum wall; endoscopic examination found that a 4.0cmx5.0cm ulcer was visible in the gastric antrum, and a 1.2cm ulcer was visible in the greater curvature of the stomach. cmx1.2cm ulcer, indicating gastric cancer.

However, the ulcer biopsy specimen showed infiltration of lymphocytes, neutrophils, and plasma cells and no tumor cells at all.

The doctor at Baiyan Hospital was a little suspicious and submitted a telemedicine consultation. He wanted to ask Dr. Zhou from Iris Clinic to help with the details.

Zhou Qiao learned about the patient's special occupation and suggested a syphilis test.

Gastric syphilis?
The doctors at Baiyan Hospital widened their eyes. They really didn't think of this before. Because general syphilis only erodes the skin and external private organs, but can also cause damage to other tissues and organs throughout the body.

But running into the stomach? Violate the stomach wall?

impossible. In other words, the possibility is relatively small!

Not ordinary small, very rare.

However, when the test results came out, a surprising fact finally emerged.

Sure enough, the "unpredictable" Dr. Zhou was the one who guessed it.

The patient's serum Treponema pallidum particle agglutination test was positive, and the syphilis rapid serum reagin test (RPR) titer was positive at 1:128; the immunohistochemical staining of Treponema pallidum in the ulcer biopsy specimen was positive; and the human immunodeficiency virus test was negative.

This is gastric syphilis.

Gastroscopy in patients with gastric syphilis is nonspecific, and it is difficult to differentiate from gastric cancer under endoscopy.

The doctor at Baiyan Hospital was so ashamed that he almost thought it was stomach cancer.

In fact, this female patient had been seen elsewhere before and was misdiagnosed as acute gastritis, which was naturally not cured.

Now that I have arrived at Baiyan Hospital, Zhou Qiao's "fiery eyes" see through it at a glance, and recovery is just around the corner.

After all, this virus is easier to deal with than gastric cancer.

Everyone was talking about it privately. Why did it go to the stomach after seeing it for so long?

As for the possible reasons, everyone has a tacit understanding.

After Chiba Nanako heard about this rare case, she thought it was better for Zhou Jun.

Zhou Jun can transform a person's whole body and improve all aspects, just like the legendary nectar that can make people ascend.

And some men carry disgusting viruses that harm others and themselves.

The difference between people is really as big as clouds and mud.
