Live broadcast: I am an upright Chinese medicine practitioner, and all my patients died online

Cui Han didn't want to talk much, so the young woman Yu Jie took the initiative to describe his symptoms.

"Doctor Qin, this is what happened. My dad has always been a scientific researcher. He never told us what his work was like. Whenever we asked him, he kept it confidential."

"Over the past few decades, he has been going to bed very late every night and getting up very early in the morning. I feel that he may sleep less than five hours a day, which makes me always worried about his health."

"Then what I worried about happened. Since last month, my dad has become extremely irritable and can't even sleep well. He doesn't even sleep for five hours. Sometimes he doesn't sleep all night. His eyes are wide open, which is scary in the middle of the night."

"He has been feeling unwell for a while now. He has stomachaches and feels chest tightness and shortness of breath. It's like something is blocking his body. It's really uncomfortable, so I thought of looking for you to see him."

The more Qin Jiang listened, the more surprised he became.

He quickly asked, "You said your dad doesn't sleep at night, so he has to make up for his sleep during the day, right?"

Yu Jie shook her head.

"This is what worries me the most. My dad obviously doesn't want to go to bed at night, but he still doesn't want to go to bed during the day, as if he can't get tired!"

"Before he was young and in good health, I thought he could still stay up late like this. But now he is old, how can he still stay up like before? I think there must have been some health problems for a long time, and these problems are related to his staying up late!"

As the saying goes, man is iron and rice is steel, but no one has ever mentioned the importance of sleep to a person.

People are not robots and they also need rest.

And the most efficient way of resting is to lie down and sleep.

Some people even compare sleeping to recharging oneself.

This metaphor is actually very appropriate.

People's energy, physical strength and mental strength are limited. Although it seems that everyone is doing ordinary things in daily life, in fact, these things will consume your energy, physical strength and mental strength.

This is also why older people feel very tired after doing a little work. Even if it is just cutting vegetables or cooking, which does not require any heavy physical activity, the elderly will feel very tired.

If there is a holiday or other occasion when people are entertaining guests at home, the women will be so tired after cooking a table full of dishes that they don't want to move and will fall asleep in seconds after lying down.

Qin Jiang said so much, actually just to explain the importance of sleep to people.

Netizens in the live broadcast room also expressed their opinions on this.

"My point of view is the same as Dr. Qin's. I think sleep is absolutely vital for people. Sometimes I feel dizzy and have a headache, and my mind is not clear, which affects my work and life. In this case, I will not take medicine, but find a place to lie down and have a good rest as soon as possible. I will wait until I have enough sleep before doing anything else."

"Me too. If I don't sleep well the night before, I'll be sleepwalking the whole next day. It's a very uncomfortable feeling, and drinking coffee or milk tea can't help it."

"I can only say that people have no choice when they reach 30! After I turned 30, I have always adhered to a principle, that is, never stay up late! In the past, I heard people say that staying up late is equivalent to eating arsenic. I sneered at the time, thinking that the person who said this was not thinking. Arsenic is so toxic, how can staying up late be compared with eating arsenic? But later when I got older, I found that this statement was true. In fact, they are the same, but eating arsenic will kill you immediately, while staying up late will kill you slowly. In short, it will all end in death."

Qin Jiang observed Cui Han's face and found that Cui Han's eyes were not only cloudy and yellow, but also bloodshot. People can lie and show off, but your body can't.

The condition of the eyes is directly related to the condition of that person's liver.

This is the point that Western medicine cannot understand the most, because in their medical system, there is no such thing as the five elements' mutual promotion and restraint, and mutual assistance.

To them, eyes are eyes and liver is liver. Why are the two connected?
Qin Jiang said, "It can be seen that the old man's liver is not in good condition. Come on, old man, put your hand up and I will take your pulse."

Cui Han didn't act pretentiously and simply placed his right hand on the pulse pillow.

Qin Jiang put his hand on it, and then his brows quickly frowned.

"The old man's condition is more serious than I thought. It's already in the early stages of liver cirrhosis."

When Yu Jie heard Qin Jiang say this, she suddenly became nervous.

"Ah? Is cirrhosis of the liver so serious?"

Qin Jiang said calmly, "According to what you said, the old man has been going to bed late and getting up early for decades, which means that his sleep has never been guaranteed. When a person lacks adequate sleep for a long time, the first organ to be damaged is the liver, followed by the brain."

"That's why the old man has a bad temper. Because his liver is damaged, his temper naturally becomes worse. The liver controls your temper."

"I can only say that the old man's physical fitness is still very good. If it were someone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to hold on for so long, let alone cirrhosis of the liver. I'm afraid they would have died of liver cancer long ago."

Qin Jiang's words were definitely not alarmist.

Because according to Yu Jie, Cui Han's late sleep and early rise does not mean sleeping for five hours a day and then sleeping for a few hours during the day, reversing his day and night.

Nowadays, most young people say that they like to stay up late, or that staying up late is good, but in fact they are just reversing their day and night.

Everyone knows that sleeping during the day is inefficient, but they are willing to sleep a few more hours during the day and a few less hours at night.

Although such a lifestyle is irregular and unhealthy, at most it will cause people to become weak in qi and blood, which is not fatal.

But Cui Han not only sleeps little at night, but also works very hard during the day, devoting all his energy to his work.

Anyone who has worked seriously knows that putting all your energy into something like this is, in itself, a very tiring state.

As a result, in such a tired state, not to mention working intensively all day long, I can't sleep well at night and get enough sleep. This is not a problem of qi and blood deficiency, nor is it a problem of unhealthy. This is simply burning my own life!

But Cui Han was able to persist like this for decades, which naturally made Qin Jiang admire him very much.

Qin Jiang glanced at Cui Han and said, "If you can sleep well, you will definitely live to be a hundred years old with your physical condition. But now you have early cirrhosis of the liver, which is very troublesome." (End of this chapter)
