Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 23 Facial Paralysis, Pediatrics

Acupuncture treatment for facial paralysis was certified by the International Medical Association in April 1976, and the earliest record of this in ancient medical books can be traced back to the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine.

The principle of acupuncture in improving facial paralysis is mainly to harmonize yin and yang and to strengthen the body and eliminate evil.

The condition of this child is somewhat serious, so he needs acupuncture first and then moxibustion.

"The facial paralysis caused by wind-heat has been delayed for a long time, but it is not difficult to recover from the treatment. But we can't delay it any longer."

After taking the pulse and examining the tongue, he told Mr. Lu his judgment.

Facial paralysis is a relatively common disease in hospitals. He has seen a lot of it in his previous life, so it is a disease he is relatively familiar with.

Moreover, electroacupuncture therapy was already used in previous lives. Applying electricity for 30 minutes to stimulate muscle twitching could speed up the patient's recovery time.

However, the conditions are not met now, so we can only use the most basic acupuncture and moxibustion. However, Fangyan’s skills are different from those in his previous life, and he believes that he is no worse than electroacupuncture therapy.

Mr. Lu stepped forward to diagnose the case, and his conclusion was basically the same as Fangyan's. He nodded and said to Fangyan:

"How are you going to treat it?"

Fangyan responded:
"First, acupuncture to relieve the symptoms. I plan to start with the Yuyao, Yangbai, Taiyang, Jiache, Dicang, Kunlun, and Yingxiang acupoints."

After he finished speaking, he paused and added:
"Oh, right, he has wind-heat syndrome, so let's add the Quchi point."

After hearing this, Mr. Lu nodded and motioned for him to continue.

"After acupuncture, use moxa sticks for moxibustion. Just do it on the three acupoints of Sibai, Dicang, and Jiache."

"After today's work, it will probably take a few more days to fully recover."

After Fang Yan finished speaking, he looked at Mr. Lu, waiting for his opinion.

Lu Donghua looked at the child for a few seconds, then said:

"Be careful not to pierce too deep, don't pierce the temples first, and don't pierce too much during the acute phase."

"Okay." Fang Yan nodded.

After Lu Donghua finished speaking, he glanced at Jia Dapeng who was standing aside and looking at the acupuncture point map and said:
"Dapeng, go to the back hall and prepare for acupuncture and moxibustion."

"Oh, okay!" Jia Dapeng responded quickly. He actually didn't remember all the acupoints that Fangyan mentioned just now.

Now that Mr. Lu was urging him, he had no choice but to get busy, after all, his job was to be an assistant.

When Jia Dapeng started to get ready, Mr. Lu said to Fang Yan:

"When the acupuncture is done later, I will watch you perform the acupuncture, and Jia Dapeng will be in charge of the moxibustion."

When Fang Yan heard this, he knew that Lu Donghua wanted to test his acupuncture skills, so he nodded and agreed without hesitation.

Although I don't know many secret acupuncture techniques, my basic skills are very solid. I can use the Shanhuo and Tianliang techniques 100% effectively.

This is a good opportunity for me to show off in front of Mr. Lu.

After that, Fang Yan said to the child with a paralyzed face:
"Come on, little brother. Let's go to the back hall. Your face will be healed soon."

Maybe because Fangyan looked okay and didn't look like a bad person, the child nodded and followed him obediently into the back hall.

At this time, Jia Dapeng had already made the bed for the child to lie on, and was preparing silver needles, disinfectant alcohol, and sponges. Seeing him holding the tray, the child, who was not worried at first, suddenly shuddered. It was obvious that the boy's big and strong appearance could easily scare the child.

After Fangyan noticed this, he immediately said to the child:

"Your uncle will give you the injection later. He is just here to help."

The child felt a little better after hearing this.

Knowing that Mr. Lu actually wanted Fang Yan to give the acupuncture, Liu Zude felt a little unhappy, but he also wanted to see what level Fang Yan was at.

In the past, the store manager Wang Aiguo praised my skills as miraculous. Now I have to see it with my own eyes to know how much water Wang Aiguo has put in his praise.

Today he has already seen that there should be no problem with Fangyan's ability to see patients, except that he is not as experienced as Mr. Lu. He has seen three patients who came and his diagnosis was correct.

He stayed here today, hoping to catch Fangyan's mistakes and do something about them, but he didn't expect that this kid performed so well that he couldn't find any trouble for him.

Now it comes to the acupuncture stage, and Liu Zude believes that his chance has come again.

This guy told the kid that it wouldn't hurt to prick his face with a needle.

Isn't this just a complete lie to the fool? When the needle goes in, the kid will definitely feel pain, rolling on the ground, crying and making a fuss. Then you'll see how you can comfort him.

Unlike Liu Zude who wanted to see Fangyan make a fool of himself, many people came to watch the video because of the sentence just now that the needle would not hurt.

No one can guarantee that acupuncture will be 7% pain-free. Adults can just bear with it, but the other person is a child. Fangyan just said that he plans to pierce seven acupoints, and all acupoints must be pierced accurately without triggering pain. This control of the needle can be said to be extraordinary.

Normally, when they saw Master Lu giving acupuncture, they would occasionally hear the patients gasping in pain. Now that Fangyan was here, could he be so accurate with every injection?

Fangyan didn't expect that after he gave someone an injection, people in the store would gather around him again, all looking like curious babies.

He quickly realized that everyone wanted to see the result of his acupuncture. The child would not be spoiled. If it really hurt, he would definitely jump and make a fuss.

It would have been fine if you hadn't said that before, but if you said it and couldn't do it, then it would be just bragging.

According to later research, in order to insert the needle without pain, in addition to accurately piercing the acupuncture points, the superficial skin layer must also be pierced instantly. The pain in the superficial skin layer is the strongest, so the position and depth of acupuncture must be considered when performing acupuncture in Fangyan. Both of these points must be extremely accurate. And most importantly, he must make the child psychologically accept his treatment. Otherwise, even if he pierces the needle accurately, the child will say it hurts, and if he makes a fuss, it will be troublesome for him to treat himself.

So the child had to be given some psychological preparation, so Fangyan planned to make up a lie first.

After letting the child lie on the bed, Jia Dapeng, under the guidance of Fangyan, used alcohol cotton to disinfect and clean the parts of the child that needed injections.

Then Fangyan took out the thinnest acupuncture needles and displayed them in a dense row in front of the children.

The child became visibly nervous, and then he saw Fang Yan pick up one of the sticks and prick his own hand with it.

Then he nonchalantly held his hand in front of the child and showed it:

"You see, after the acupuncture point is accurately inserted, I don't feel any pain, only some numbness. And you see a pink circle appears around the needle. Do you know what this is?"

The child looked carefully at Fangyan's hand and found that there was indeed a circle of light pink around the needle.

This is actually a phenomenon of "getting qi", and the dialect was also discovered yesterday.

However, he did not explain it this way, but lied:
"This means that the needle has found the disease. It pierces the disease, not you, so you don't feel any pain."

After hearing this, the child nodded thoughtfully and said:
"Then quickly treat the disease on my face!"
