Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 1280 Is the level of skill in China really this abnormal? You're even doing a part-time job? (Bonus chapter for monthly votes)
Upon hearing this, Wei Guohao was completely stunned. This child in front of him could not only understand the hot and cold properties of medicine, but also explain the balance between "strengthening the body's resistance" and "eliminating pathogens." This was a principle that even the TCM doctors in his hospital might not be able to fully explain after studying for three to five years.

No, are Chinese medicine practitioners in China becoming increasingly younger?

Fang Yan is already quite young, and this little apprentice doesn't even know many characters, yet he can explain traditional Chinese medicine theory so clearly?
It’s evil!
He wanted to test him again, so after thinking for a moment, he asked:
"Do you know why your master was massaging the Fengmen and Feishu acupoints just now?"

"I know!" Zhao Zhengyi nodded immediately, ran to the human meridian chart hanging on the wall, stood on tiptoe and pointed to two acupoints on his back, "The Fengmen acupoint can drive out wind and evil, and the Feishu acupoint is in charge of the skin and respiration. The insect bite poison on that little boy's neck is in the skin. Pressing these two acupoints can help disperse the poison, so he won't itch so much and won't cry." He paused and added, "Master also said that the massage should be gentle, otherwise it will hurt the child. Master pressed very slowly just now because he was afraid that the little boy would be uncomfortable."

Fang Yan, standing to the side, looked at little Zhao Zhengyi and smiled with satisfaction.

Fang Yan hasn't done the specific case analysis himself yet, but he can connect what he's learned about "pediatric physiological characteristics," "medicinal properties and meridian tropism," and "acupoint efficacy" and accurately apply them to the details of diagnosis and treatment. This observation and comprehension ability is indeed far beyond that of children of the same age.

Wei Guohao leaned closer to the meridian chart, watching Zhao Zhengyi accurately point out the acupoints, then couldn't help but reach out and pat his head: "Hey, little guy, you're really something! How did you memorize all this?"

Zhao Zhengyi looked at Fang Yan. He wasn't sure what level the others were at; he was just learning according to Fang Yan's instructions. Hearing Wei Guohao's praise, he wasn't too excited. Instead, he humbly said, "It's not complicated. My master teaches me to recognize one acupoint and memorize one herb every day. He also talked about several examples of 'insect bites,' including how insects in the south are poisonous and can easily cause phlegm and wind, similar to this little boy's illness today..." As he spoke, he even recited it softly, "A child's pulse, seven beats per beat, then a rapid and wiry pulse, indicates fright... Purple finger veins indicate high fever; dark purple indicates stagnation and congealing..."

After reciting the pulse diagnosis formula, he looked up at Wei Guohao and said seriously, "This isn't difficult at all, is it?"

Wei Guohao was taken aback, unable to figure out what the child was up to.

Am I just too weak?
Or has the domestic level already reached this level?
Anyway, he was completely convinced at this point.

Having practiced medicine for many years, he has seen many so-called "child prodigies," but most of them just memorize medical texts. This is the first time he has seen a child like Zhao Zhengyi who can "apply what he has learned" and even point out the shortcomings in medication details based on case studies.

He turned to Fang Yan and exclaimed, "Director Fang! This child's comprehension is more than ten times better than mine was back then. If he is properly nurtured, he will definitely be a pillar of the Chinese medicine field in the future!"

Fang Yan smiled, put down his pen, and said:

"He was indeed willing to learn and loved to ponder things. Over time, he naturally got the hang of it."

Wei Guohao scratched his head, remembering there were two other doctors next door, and said to Fang Yan:

"I think I'd better go check on the others and not stay here any longer."

Fang Yan didn't seem to mind his words and said:
"Okay, but call someone in for me when you go out."

Wei Guohao nodded in agreement after hearing this.

He immediately went out the door and headed towards Li Zhengji's room next door. He just couldn't believe that this place was full of experts like Fang Yan.
Fang Yan continued the consultation process, seeing several people in succession.

Based on his analysis, the symptoms of these patients are basically related to living outdoors in harsh environments, coupled with immense psychological pressure and the constant threat to their lives, leaving them in a state of high tension for extended periods.

Humans are emotional beings. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes that "emotions can cause disease." Long-term "immense psychological stress, high tension, and constant threat to life" can directly affect the functions of the four major organs: liver, heart, spleen, and kidneys, leading to imbalance of Qi and deficiency of Qi and blood, resulting in "internal injury and deficiency of vital energy".

Living outdoors in harsh environments, such as dampness, insect and snake breeding, and changeable climate, exposes the human body directly to the six pathogenic factors of wind, cold, dampness, heat, dryness, and fire. Long-term stress leading to "weakness of vital energy" further reduces the body's resistance, making it easier for pathogenic factors to invade and form "external pathogenic excess syndrome".

These two situations are examples of "excessive evil" and "deficiency of righteousness" reinforcing each other, forming a vicious cycle.

In summary, the causes are basically nothing more than wind invasion, cold stagnation, dampness obstruction, and heat damaging body fluids.

Symptoms presented:
Liver qi stagnation leads to impaired qi circulation. Deficiency of both heart and spleen results in insufficient qi and blood.

Kidney essence deficiency and insufficient vital energy.

Imbalance of Qi and blood leads to malnourishment of the entire body's organs.

Their journey back home was like shedding a layer of skin.

It's lucky that they survived.

……

Time flew by and it was already 11:30 a.m., and the number of people seeking medical treatment had gradually decreased.

Fang Yan had just treated a middle-aged man suffering from intermittent dizziness with acupuncture when Wei Guohao returned.

He had just watched Li Zhengji and Xiao Chengzhi's consultation process next door and was deeply shocked.

Both of these people are highly skilled in traditional Chinese medicine. Li Zhengji seems to have a very clear understanding of various diseases. For two similar diseases, this guy, I don't know who he learned from, actually has two different solutions and insists on prescribing medicine with completely different approaches.

It's like showing off your skills in front of him.

Xiao Chengzhi knew even more about the diseases in the South than he did. While treating patients, he talked about the different schools of traditional Chinese medicine in the South, leaving Xiao Chengzhi completely bewildered.

Most importantly, this guy doesn't even know what the problem is, but he can diagnose the illness fairly well just by looking at it without taking the pulse.

And the speed is quite fast.

The key point is that he inquired about the dialect proficiency of these two people, and they, speaking the same dialect, were much better than him.

Now Wei Guohao is at a loss. He has begun to doubt his own level of traditional Chinese medicine skills, feeling that he is too weak, which is why he sees how strong these people are.

The key point is that they are all very young, only in their twenties.

The youngest dialect speaker was considered by the other two to be the most proficient.

Back in Fang Yan's clinic, Wei Guohao was starting to have doubts about life.

Just then, footsteps sounded outside the door, and Fang Yan's Russian apprentice, who had driven the car last night, walked in with several people in military uniforms.

After glancing at Wei Guohao, one of the soldiers in uniform said to Fang Yan:

"Director Fang, let's talk about your design! The leadership values ​​it highly."

Wei Guohao was dumbfounded. "Not...design? What else is Fang Yan doing part-time?"
P.S.: I still owe you 34000 words after finishing this chapter. Did you watch the military parade today?
