Traditional Chinese Medicine: Back to the years when educated youths went to the countryside

Chapter 275: I learned medical skills from my wife
After hearing the discussion between the master and the apprentice, despair appeared on the faces of Mr. and Mrs. Yang again. They wiped away tears and looked heartbroken. They did not look like mean people who ignored their daughter's life.

Wang Chengzhou sighed slightly.

After all, ordinary people still know too little about medicine. If a family member suddenly gets sick, they will be frightened and panicked. They will obey the so-called doctors and believe whatever they say.

This rural couple was so frightened that their daughter was critically ill.In despair, they were afraid that if Dr. Hu gave them a root of grass, they would regard it as a panacea and believe it without any doubt.

Therefore, if a doctor has bad conduct, the tragedy he will cause will definitely be a heinous crime!

With a heavy heart, Wang Chengzhou walked to the bed and gently held the girl's head, feeling wet and warm under his touch.Her hair had long been soaked with sweat, and as he lifted it up, pink beads of sweat immediately dripped down her neck.

This is a sign that Taiyang disease turns into Yangming disease.

Typhoid cold generally refers to Taiyang disease. The symptoms are aversion to cold, no sweat, and body pain. Generally, it will be cured by sweating.However, if it is not treated, or the sweating is not thorough, or even the sweating cannot be done properly, it will turn into Yangming disease.

The symptoms of Yangming disease are strong fever, profuse sweating, heat intolerance, and thirst.

The girl's lips are white because she sweats too much and is dehydrated; the pink sweat is because her body is too weak; her skin is hot and burned because the heat evil is too strong in the body.

Although serious calculations show that deficiency of Qi and blood is indeed the root cause of her amenorrhea, but the summer heat is raging now, and the heat evil must be eliminated first in order to save her life.

If your life is gone, how can you talk about keeping your body warm?
"Mingyue, come here and help me support her."

Wang Chengzhou greeted her, still explaining to her, "In modern medical terms, this girl's fever may have reached forty degrees. If the fever is not brought down quickly, it is very likely to be life-threatening."

"It's too late for the decoction now. I have to give her serum and fever first."

"Weren't you worried just now that you couldn't give her an injection and how to treat her quickly? Now, watch carefully."

Guo Mingyue immediately ran up, sat next to him on the bed, and hugged the girl's upper body. She was so focused that she didn't even dare to speak, and her big eyes watched his every move without blinking.

"The effect of bloodletting therapy is actually very significant, but with the introduction of some Western ideas, it has been increasingly demonized."

Wang Chengzhou pulled the clothes off the girl's back, pressed lightly with his fingers, then took out a three-edged needle, and opened her skin with one needle, and dark red blood immediately flowed out, "For patients with such strong fever that won't go away, , our first choice of bloodletting point is Dazhui point."

"If you have studied the Ren and Du Meridians, you should know that the Dazhui point is an acupoint on the Du Meridian. And its exact location is under the spinous process of the seventh cervical vertebra, or on the first thoracic vertebra, at the depression where the two meet."

"However, it is very troublesome to say. When you actually find the acupoint, you only need to ask the patient to tilt his head. The lower edge of the apophyseal vertebral body at the junction of the neck and back is the Dazhui acupoint."

As he explained, Guo Mingyue clenched her fists, stretched her neck to look, and kept nodding her head.The girl on the bed couldn't help but moan as the dark red blood flowed out, and her consciousness seemed to be clearer.

Everyone in the room was full of surprise, but they were not entirely sure that it was really because of this terrifying bloodletting treatment that it was effective.

Wang Chengzhou helped the girl gently wipe the blood on her back and helped her lie back down.Then, he took her two hands and tapped the outer corners of her thumbnails. The same needle was inserted, and blood immediately seeped out. "Mingyue, do you remember this acupuncture point?"

"Master, I know!"

After being ridiculed by him last time, Guo Mingyue worked hard and memorized the acupuncture points on each meridian he had learned by heart, "This is an acupoint on the Taiyin Lung Meridian of the Hand. It is called Shaoshang Point. It is The well hole."

"good."

Wang Chengzhou nodded, and finally there was a smile on his face, "As mentioned before, wind-cold and cold are caused by the loss of lung qi, and wind-heat and cold are caused by the loss of lung qi."

"Shaoshang point is a well point on the lung meridian of hand Taiyin. Bloodletting on it can effectively clear lung heat."

“In addition, there are also bloodletting on the ear tip, which can clear away the heat evil caused by the liver and gallbladder meridian; bloodletting on Baihui point, which can calm and soothe the mind, and is used to treat epilepsy; and bloodletting on Weizhong, which can clear away heat, cool blood, and activate the meridians. , it has miraculous effects on various skin diseases and back pain caused by heat poison in the blood."

These are very practical treatment techniques in daily life.

However, Guo Mingyue became restless when she heard that. She kept groping in her trouser pockets, her claws were numb with anxiety, "Master, don't say it yet, don't say it yet, I forgot to bring my notebook!"

"You're telling me so much now, I'm afraid I won't be able to remember it!"

"Gee, these seem to be things I can use now, I have to learn them!"

Wang Chengzhou was speechless for a while, then stood up and said, "It's not like our master-disciple relationship is about to end. We still have a long time to come. Don't worry, I'll say it a few more times and you will remember it sooner or later."

"hey-hey."

Guo Mingyue arched her eyebrows and giggled, "Yes. Anyway, from now on, I will definitely be inseparable from Master!"

Mrs. Guo Chen was standing against the wall. When she heard this, her face darkened and she glared at her daughter fiercely.

"Water...I want to drink water."

At this moment, the girl on the bed suddenly murmured, her voice was weak, but everyone in the room fell silent.Especially Lao Yang and his wife, it was as if they had seen a miracle. They were panicked for a while, but they didn't know whether they should give their daughter some water. They looked eagerly at the mysterious young man in front of them.

"Give her a drink."

These two people were really frightened. They were scolded by him before and they didn't even dare to let his daughter drink a bowl of water.

Wang Chengzhou answered casually, observed the girl's condition, and ordered:
"Bring a pen and paper over here, I'll prescribe some medicine for her." "The bloodletting treatment just now only temporarily stabilized her condition. If she wants to be completely out of danger, she must take medicine."

"Don't bother yourself. Once you get the prescription, go to the commune or county to get it. The sooner the better."

Lao Yang suddenly saw hope and rubbed his hands in excitement, not daring to question anything at all, "Little miracle doctor, don't worry!"

"Anyway, our family has almost emptied our family funds because of Sheng Lan's illness. We have reached this point and we don't care about the three melons and two dates."

"You write the prescription, I will go to the commune to arrest you now!"

Hearing this, Wang Chengzhou gave him a high look.Immediately I wrote a recipe for White Tiger Soup plus American ginseng, Scrophulariaceae, bamboo leaves, lotus stems and mulberry leaves.

Baihu Decoction is generally used to treat heatstroke, which is the sun's rays.The same principle applies when used to treat Yangming excess heat.

Yang Shenglan's body is particularly weak. American ginseng and scrophulariaceae can nourish qi and yin, helping her withstand the attack power of Baihu Decoction.

Bamboo leaves, lotus stems, and mulberry leaves have clearing properties and can better help her clear away the heat in her Qi.

Seeing his bedridden daughter being pulled back from hell by this young man, Lao Yang held the prescription he prescribed, as if he had obtained some kind of treasure, he didn't dare to stop for a moment, and rushed out at a trot. .

"Lao Yang, what are you doing?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as I went out, a middle-aged man asked in the yard, "Is your daughter's illness better after taking my medicine?"

"Doctor Hu..."

Lao Yang's voice was instinctively frightening, but remembering what Wang Chengzhou had just said, he immediately became angry when faced with this quack doctor who delayed his daughter's condition, and said angrily:

"What a fart!"

"Hu Changyong, what kind of medicine did you prescribe for my daughter? My daughter has been taking your medicine since early spring. It's already autumn, but she almost died from you!"

"My little miracle doctor can't help but call you a bastard. You still have the nerve to come to my house, get out of here!"

Hearing the quarrel in the yard, Zou Cunliang's expression froze. He didn't expect that things would happen so coincidentally, and the two doctors would bump into each other.It is said that people who work in the same industry are enemies. Wang Chengzhou is a young man with a big temper. He really scolded this so-and-so Dr. Hu. Now that he has come to his door, the two of them will not fight, right?

Everyone probably had the same idea, so they couldn't help but feel nervous and walked out hesitantly.

"Yang Deshun, are you crazy? Do you dare to scold me?"

Sure enough, before anyone could reach the door of the hall, Hu Changyong in the yard jumped to his feet and shouted, "Have you asked a doctor for your half-dead daughter again?"

"What do you mean! You asked someone else to intervene in the patient that I, Hu Changyong, am handling?"

"Your daughter is born with weak qi and blood, and her body is damp and cold. Otherwise, what kind of menstrual disease will she get? Such people are prone to colds and colds, and they are not easy to recover from. I am trying to solve the problem for her at the root. Where did you get such childish opinions and dare to call me a quack?"

"What are you holding in your hand? Is it a prescription someone else prescribed for your daughter? Show me!"

Hu Changyong was well-known in the local area. Seeing him getting angry, Lao Yang's momentum immediately dropped, and he snatched the prescription away.

"White Tiger Soup? Hahaha!"

After just one glance, Hu Changyong raised his head, burst into laughter, threw the prescription in his hand and said:

"Where does this ignorant kid dare to mock me as a quack?"

"Look at this recipe. You don't even understand the basic knowledge of medication. It's nonsense!"

"Yang Deshun, you dare to grab this medicine. Do you think your daughter dies slowly? This is nonsense!"

Seeing that he was so confident in what he said, Lao Yang couldn't help but feel a little confused and stammered:

"No...impossible!"

"My little miraculous doctor gave my daughter blood and she woke up in just a few seconds."

"How could the medicine prescribed by such a powerful person be wrong?"

At this time, everyone finally walked out of the back room.

Wang Chengzhou looked up and down at the middle-aged man with a mustache and spittle in the yard, his face gloomy.

"How could it be wrong?"

Hu Changyong glanced at the crowd, and immediately locked his eyes on Wang Chengzhou, who was like a star holding the moon, and sneered: "You dare to prescribe plaster, young man, you learned this medical skill from your master's wife, right?"
