Chapter 1099 He You fainted in the toilet due to the upward reversal of Qi from ear acupuncture! (Bonus chapter for 3K monthly votes)

Finally, we've encountered something this kid can't do!
He You thought to himself.

It's worth noting that auricular acupuncture has been practiced abroad for many years, but it's still relatively unheard of in China.

Now that Fang Yan has asked him and Huang Qiming for help in front of so many people, the news will spread very quickly.

It's just that ear acupuncture therapy developed relatively late in China, so it's normal for people with different dialects to be unfamiliar with the locations of ear acupuncture points.

If it were to be revealed, it would only be considered a minor flaw.

After all, the acupuncture points he set for the ears were correct, at least theoretically flawless. His only shortcoming was a lack of understanding of the densely packed locations of ear acupuncture points. This wouldn't significantly affect the local dialect; in fact, some might even say:

"To know what you know, and to not know what you don't know, that is true knowledge."

"Never pretend to know what you don't, and always maintain a responsible attitude towards patients."

Just as he was thinking about it, Jin Wubing immediately said:
"Dr. Fang is indeed cautious. It's not something an ordinary person can do to maintain this attitude given his status."

That sycophant from Zhigongtang!

“Okay!” He You agreed immediately.

Then he said to Huang Qiming:
"Let's each take one side!"

They have just seen where the dialect needs to be needled.

Lungs (bilateral), spleen (bilateral), kidneys (bilateral), endocrine system (bilateral), subcortex (bilateral).

Huang Qiming glanced at He You, his expression somewhat strange.

Said:

"You can come alone! I don't remember very clearly either."

He You was taken aback. His old friend was not buying it. Could it be that he was thinking that he couldn't get the needle from Fang Yan, so he was acting like this?
That's so petty!
"Okay, I'll do it myself."

As he spoke, he picked up the earring clips that Fang Yan had torn apart and said to Fang Yan specifically:

"Look closely, these ear acupoints are different from acupoints; they are more like square areas."

Fang Yan nodded, looking like he had learned something.

“The lungs are here!” he said, then picked up the ear needles and stuck them on.

As soon as he put it on, he immediately felt something was wrong.

A chill ran up my hand and down to my shoulder.

He felt an itch on his back, and the anger disappeared.

He suddenly realized, "Oh no!" The patient in front of him was a cancer patient he wouldn't even take on. How could he have inexplicably given him ear acupuncture?
"Don't just stand there, the right side hasn't been pasted on yet!" Jin Wubing reminded the old man who was staring blankly.

"This..." He You was in a bit of a dilemma.

I shouldn't have agreed to Fang Yan's proposal; that kid is clearly setting me up for failure!

"What's wrong?" Fang Yan looked at He You with an innocent expression.

He You gave an awkward laugh and said to Fang Yan:

"I just thought about it, and it won't improve your performance if I put it there myself. I'll show you the positions, and you can put it there!"

Seeing He You's reaction, Fang Yan immediately confirmed her guess!
Ear acupuncture points can also contain pathogenic energy!

Huang Qiming, that old fox, didn't fall for it; He You only realized what was going on when he felt uneasy.

However, the old man was no good either, and immediately turned around and tried to lead the person into a trap.

Fang Yan remained calm and said:
"Alright, you point, and I'll insert the needle."

After saying that, he took out the Heavenly Craft Needle.

"You're not going to use ear acupuncture patches?" He You's expression changed.

He said in dialect:

"If you're not used to it, just tell me where you want it, and I'll insert the needle."

"..." He You was speechless, feeling as if he had swallowed a dead rat.

He glanced at Huang Qiming beside him, who hadn't said a word. This guy hadn't even reminded him earlier.

He You tried his best to remain calm and said in dialect:

"Okay, here it is!"

Next, Fang Yan used the Tiangong Needle to insert needles into the ear acupoints at several places pointed out by He You. This completed the external acupuncture treatment. All that was left was to wait for the medicine to be applied externally and taken internally.

If it were any other mild case, Fang Yan would have called them to the hospital and moved on to the next patient. But this was different; it was a severe case. Since they wouldn't have to wait long anyway, Fang Yan and the others simply waited.

At this point, He You was already feeling a bit unwell. He usually treated children with most of the symptoms, and those children didn't seem to have any illness. Today, he didn't know if it was a psychological issue or if the illness was more severe, but he felt a bit itchy in his throat and back.

Huang Qiming winked at him, asking how he was doing. He You's face turned cold. It was this guy who hadn't even reminded him.

Watching helplessly as I jumped into the fire.

He gets furious whenever he sees this guy.

However, he couldn't show it, so he could only pretend not to understand what he meant with a dark expression.

Seeing this, Huang Qiming not only felt no guilt, but secretly rejoiced that he had reacted quickly.

Indeed, ear acupuncture can also cause pathogenic qi to rise upwards, but it's unclear whether it's as serious as direct acupuncture.

His research on the upward flow of pathogenic qi is not very thorough. It seems that this phenomenon only occurs in certain specific individuals, and it is not only seen in severe cases. Some people with mild symptoms may also experience this phenomenon.

It's like a landmine planted by God in the dark; you might get hit if you're not careful, except that the illness of critically ill patients is more severe.

The reason he was so interested in these silver needles was actually because of his research on pathogenic qi, which is why he reacted so quickly just now.

I didn't remind He You earlier, but I can only blame He You for wanting to show off.

In fact, I had already given him a hint.

Unfortunately, he didn't understand it.

He had no psychological burden at all. If he was fooled, how could he blame him for not giving a clear enough warning?
Now, what Huang Qiming really wanted to know was how to get his hands on a set of Heavenly Craft Needles. He was so envious, so incredibly envious!

……

After a while, the time for needle insertion finally came, and Fang Yan began to prepare to remove the needles.

While Fang Yan was chatting with the people around him, he kept a close eye on the Tiangong needle.

Fortunately, Fang Yan did not see the Heavenly Needle crack until the end.

When removing the needles, the doctor asked the patient:
"Mr. Wei, how are you feeling now? Did you experience any new sensations or changes during the time the needles were left in?"

Mr. Wei, lying in his hospital bed, was slightly weak, but his tone clearly carried a hint of surprise and relief from his improved condition as he replied:
"Dr. Fang..."

"It feels quite strange when you think about it..." He paused, as if he was trying to understand it.

Then he said:
"The feeling of 'qi' at the spot where I just inserted the needle has been lingering, it's warm..." He then pointed to Zusanli (ST36) and said:
"There is a persistent soreness, distension, and heat sensation at the acupoint."

"This means that the flow of Qi and blood has been stimulated," Fang Yan said to him.

“Moreover…” Mr. Wei, the patient, paused again, his tone somewhat incredulous:

"The strangest thing is that area on the chest!"

"I used to feel like something was pressing down on me, making me feel suffocated and causing sharp, stabbing pains..."

Fang Yan knew he was referring to chest pain and tightness caused by lung cancer, so he nodded to signal him to continue.

The patient gathered his thoughts and said:
"Now it feels... like... a little looser?"

After thinking for a moment, Fang Yan said:
"This is because the acupuncture effect of 'breaking up qi and dispersing stagnation' has slightly loosened the obstruction of phlegm and blood stasis."

The patient continued:

"Also, I'm breathing much easier now, and it seems like the air I inhale can stay in my mouth for a little longer..."

Fang Yan nodded and explained:

"The shortness of breath has eased, which proves that the vital energy, or cardiopulmonary function, has improved. That's great!"

Upon hearing this, the patient's wife's face lit up with joy. Fang Yan's methods were indeed impressive; the patient had improved so quickly just from acupuncture without even taking any medication.

The patient nodded:
"Yes! That's right!" After hearing Fang Yan's explanation, he seemed even more convinced and, after thinking for a moment, said:
"It's like... it used to feel like there was a big rock stuck in your chest, and now it feels like that rock has cracked!"

He tried to describe the relief of the pressure in his chest using a more vivid metaphor.

I really want to tell the doctors and family members around me about this feeling.

His cousin, who brought him, also said:
"Your voice is definitely much lighter than before you had the acupuncture!"

This is something that everyone can clearly feel.

Everyone nodded in agreement, acknowledging the immediate positive changes brought about by acupuncture.

"And..." He remembered the change in Fang Yan's expression.

"These areas around the ears, especially the area a little below the ear canals..." Fang Yan said, pointing to the lung and subcortical acupoint areas.
"It feels cool and refreshing, and the itching is gone..."

Fang Yan was somewhat surprised that the skin itching caused by chemotherapy and wind-dryness had been relieved after just one acupuncture session.

The results seem to be better than I expected.

Could it be that the illness spread to other places?

He was also a little unsure.

"The needle in my ear is quite...comfortable," he said to Fang Yan, and smiled at He You as well. It was the old man who had just pointed out the location to Fang Yan.

However, in He You's eyes, his behavior was somewhat deserving of a beating.

He You felt even more uncomfortable at this moment.

He wondered to himself, "Could it be that the illness has really spread here?"

"It's all thanks to my maternal uncle's guidance!" Fang Yan respectfully cupped his hands to He You.

He You forced a smile, his hands trembling.

This kid isn't easy to deal with either...

"It's alright, it's alright!" he could only reply politely.

After saying that, he paused and asked:
"Where is the restroom? I need to use the toilet."

He's going to do a self-examination.

I'm not feeling well right now.

"Qingkai, take the old man to the restroom," Fang Yan said to Zhao Qingkai.

Zhao Qingkai nodded and led He You to the restroom.

After a while, the medicine from the pharmacy arrived.

Fang Yan checked the temperature; it was just right for drinking. He then carried the bowl to the patient and said:
"Come on, now is the best time to drink the medicine after the acupuncture. After you drink it, tell me how you feel and react."

The patient nodded, took the bowl, tilted his head back, and drank it down in front of everyone.

After he finished drinking, everyone stared at him. The first thing they noticed was his complexion. After drinking, his face looked better, and his lifeless appearance seemed to have dissipated considerably.

Her breathing seemed stronger, and she no longer had that expression of being on the verge of suffocation.

Fang Yan said to the Huo family's medical team:
"Let's take off the IV drip first."

Everyone nodded and began to do as instructed.

Just then, Zhao Qingkai rushed over and said to Fang Yan:

"Old He fainted at the entrance of the restroom!"

P.S.: I currently owe everyone 45000 words after finishing this chapter.

That's all for today, please come early tomorrow.
