Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 585: The famous writer Mao Dun comes to see a doctor (Monthly ticket plus more)
When talking just now, Fangyan had noticed that the patient had a strong breath, and then he checked his tongue and pulse.

The tongue is red with yellow and dry coating, and the pulse is rapid.

All the symptoms are of the same type, so it is diagnosed as liver-stomach fire purging syndrome. At the same time, the measurements are in the right alveolar area and right cheek. Therefore, according to the distribution characteristics of each branch of the trigeminal nerve, it can be determined that the pain is caused by the second and third branches, and the liver-stomach fire should be purged.

When using acupuncture, you can select acupoints along the meridians according to the location of the pain, using the method of combining distant and near acupoints.

Acupuncture can be performed on the following points: Sibai, Quanjiao, Yingxiang, Hegu, Xiaguan, Jiache, Daying, Taichong, and Neiting.

It can relieve the fire in the liver and stomach, and at the same time, it uses local acupoints to promote qi and blood circulation. The corresponding meridians involved are the Hand Taiyang Small Intestine, Hand Shaoyang Triple Burner, Hand Yangming Large Intestine, and Foot Yangming Stomach Meridians.

Choose the corresponding acupoints Sibai, Quanjiao, Yingxiang, Hegu, Xiaguan, Jiache and Daying. These six points are all located on the face. They are used to dredge the local meridians and blood. If the meridians are unblocked, there will be no pain, and if the blood is nourished, there will be no pain.

The "Jia Yi Jing of Acupuncture and Moxibustion" states: "Swelling of cheek, urgent mouth, pain in buccal cartilage, inability to chew teeth, buccal cartilage is the main cause."

Fire in the liver and stomach is a real evil, and if it is real, it should be purged, so the purgation method is used.

In the dialect, the Cheng's Sancai method is used to first pierce the cheek car (0.3-0.5 inches), vibrate to stimulate the qi, and use the flying spiral drainage method.

After acupuncture at several acupuncture points, the patient indeed felt the tightness on his face disappear.

At this moment, while the needle was still in place, Fang Yan made him open his mouth, and then he closed it wide, and the patient said in surprise:

"It really doesn't hurt at all. Is this...is this okay now?"

He really couldn't believe that Fangyan cured him with just a few injections.

Fang Yan said to him:
"Your condition is caused by evil fire in the liver and stomach. I'll prescribe a prescription for you. Go back and boil the medicine to drink. Pay attention to a light diet and don't get angry. Also, don't drink or smoke during this period of time, and there shouldn't be any problem."

"When the needle retention time is up, you can just go get the medicine yourself later."

After listening to the dialect, the patient nodded repeatedly.

When other patients saw this, some looked at each other in surprise, while others exclaimed it was magical.

……

Fang Yan was about to call the next person, but at this moment, the director suddenly appeared at the door of the clinic.

He said to the people in the clinic:

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, everyone. There's an old man here whose condition is quite serious. He needs to cut in line. I'm really sorry."

As he said this, the dean turned around and greeted the people behind him.

Then everyone saw an old man in a wheelchair being pushed in.

"Hey, Minister Shen!" At this time, an older man immediately greeted the old man sitting in the wheelchair.

The old man in the wheelchair greeted the other person with a smile.

Upon seeing this, others quickly made way to allow the old man's wheelchair to move in front of the dialect examination table.

The dean came to Fang Yan and whispered to him:
"This is the former Minister of Culture, Shen Dehong."

Fangyan was slightly stunned when he heard the name.

Then he reacted all at once.

He died of lung cancer in 1981. Before his death, he donated his 25 yuan in royalties to establish the Mao Dun Literature Award.

In order to encourage the creation of excellent novels, the award later became one of the most prestigious literary awards in China and had a profound impact on promoting the development of contemporary literature.

Fangyan really didn't expect to meet this person again today.

At this time, following the great writer was a middle-aged woman, whom the dean introduced as his daughter-in-law, Comrade Chen Xiaoman.

"This is the examination report and diagnosis report from some time ago." Chen Xiaoman handed over a file bag and spoke to Fang Yan.

Fangyan took a look and found out that before coming here, he had a left-side chest puncture and fluid extraction test at a Western hospital.

The results were straw yellow with slight turbidity, specific gravity 1.020, Rivalta test (+), protein 4.51 g%, white blood cells 1500 per cubic millimeter, with lymphocytes in the majority, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa was detected.

The Western medicine diagnosis is:
Tuberculous exudative pleurisy complicated by empyema.

Fangyan looked at several diagnostic reports in succession and then stuffed them back.

After putting the file bag aside, Fang Yan asked the old man in front of him:
"Mr. Shen, can you tell me about your condition yourself?"

The old man coughed twice, then nodded and said, "Ahem, okay, let me think about it..."

After the old man finished speaking, he fell into deep thought for about 10 seconds before he spoke:
"I went back to Zhejiang to visit my relatives in December last year. On the way back to Beijing, I felt tired and weak, and then I developed a fever and a dry cough. The symptoms appeared and disappeared from time to time, and I didn't pay much attention to it... cough cough..."

He coughed twice and wanted to spit. The assistant beside him quickly brought a spittoon, and Fang Yan saw that he spit out a small amount of thin white sputum with some blood in it.

After coughing up the phlegm, the old man seemed to feel much more relaxed. He took a breath for several seconds, then sat up straight in the wheelchair and said to Fang Yan:

"Later, at the end of the year, I fell while going out. My leg was injured and I had to stay in bed every day. A few days ago, I checked my leg and it recovered, but I felt weak and had a low fever after lunch. I caught a cold from taking a shower. I had a fever, a headache, and a stuffy nose. My fever reached 40 degrees. I went to the hospital to get antipyretics, but my temperature remained at 38 to 39 degrees for several days. Then I went to the hospital for diagnosis again. The doctor said it was a lung disease. The information was all about the tests I had done."

"I saw that their Western medicine had not helped me, so I thought I might as well try Chinese medicine. Then, a comrade from the Writers Association came to visit me and showed me your high school entrance exam essay, which received a perfect score. They said it would be published in People's Literature. They also said that you were a good Chinese medicine practitioner and recommended that I come to see you."

"So I came here, an old man, to see if someone who writes such good articles is also good at Chinese medicine."

After hearing this, Fang Yan bowed to the old man:
"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Shen. I don't think I'm very good at writing articles, but I'm still very confident in Chinese medicine."

The old man laughed after hearing this:

"Haha...it seems I found the right person...cough cough...cough cough..."

As he spoke, the old man started coughing again.

His daughter-in-law quickly brought a spittoon and asked him to spit out the white phlegm.

Fang Yan had seen all the results of the old man's Western medicine diagnosis, which mainly used anti-inflammatory drugs.

An old man of this age has lung disease, which is very dangerous in winter. Fangyan must control the old man's condition as soon as possible.

So Fangyan waited until he finished spitting, then walked up and started checking.

He first touched the old man's forehead and the palm of his hand and found that they were a little hot. Then Fang Yan touched his chest and found that the temperature was even higher, which meant that he was now in a feverish state.

Then Fangyan called his assistant and asked him to take a thermometer to measure the armpit temperature, which was 38.5 degrees.

Then, Fangyan observed that the old man had red face and cheeks, shortness of breath, and sweat on his neck and palms, which were symptoms of heat in the five hearts.

Then Fangyan took his pulse and looked at his tongue.

The pulse is deep, fine and rapid, and the tongue is red with a moist white coating.

When asked if he had any unusual sensations in his chest when breathing, the old man replied that he felt a dull pain when breathing and that he felt short of breath in the morning.

When I sleep at night, if I lie down on my back, I will feel like I can't breathe and I can only fall asleep by lying on my side.

Fangyan then judged that this situation was caused by a long-term deficiency of yin fluid in the lungs, coupled with fractures due to old age and long-term bed rest, which led to the continuous consumption of the body's positive energy.

Later, the patient was infected by external cold evil, which was blocked on the body surface, causing the lungs to lose their normal functions of dispersing and descending.

This dysfunction of the lungs leads to obstruction in the regulation of the body's water metabolism channels, causing water to accumulate in the chest cavity, hindering the normal operation of the Qi.

The poor flow of Qi further transforms the evil Qi into heat evil, which further damages the lung yin, and eventually causes water and heat evil to accumulate together, forming pus after corruption.

This is a sign of wind-cold attacking the lungs, yin deficiency and lung dryness, mixed cold and heat, and alternating deficiency and excess.

At this time, the old man asked Fang Yan:

"How is it, can the young man cure it?"

Fang Yan came back to his senses, nodded and said:
"Of course it can be cured. It's not a serious problem."

"You have yin deficiency and lung dryness, and heat accumulation, which is the category of "suspended drink" in traditional Chinese medicine. You just need to nourish yin and moisten dryness, transform drink and clear heat, and you can be cured quickly."

Although the old man didn't quite understand what was being said, he felt relieved when he saw Fangyan speaking in such a relaxed and carefree manner.

He spoke into the dialect:

"It seems that I have found the right place. Please prescribe medicine for me as soon as possible."
