Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 592: Mr. Ye who is afraid of seeing a doctor, and Dr. Fang who can read faces (monthly ticket price update)

"Well, I just read too much and slept too little. It's okay." Old Mr. Ye shook his head repeatedly, indicating that there was no need to worry about him.

But the more he did this, the more excited Mr. Shen became:
"Hey, Old Ye, why don't you let him take a look? People who eat cereals are bound to get sick. His medical skills are pretty good. He can take a look at you. You, an old man, won't suffer any loss."

One of the officials who had not left yet also said to Mr. Ye:
"Mr. Ye, please ask Doctor Fang to take a look. His medical skills are very advanced. Now overseas Chinese businessmen who return to China ask for him to see their patients."

Mr. Ye shook his head and said:

"I heard that their Chinese medicine doctors only see patients at noon, and they are not very accurate in the afternoon. Look, it's almost dark now."

Many people heard about this for the first time and asked:
"Doctor Fang, do you Chinese medicine practitioners have this rule?"

Fangyan nodded:
"Mr. Ye is right. There is indeed such a saying."

He then immediately explained:
"According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, the circulation of qi and blood in the human body changes regularly throughout the day. In the morning, especially from early morning to noon, the body's yang energy is in a state of growth and gradual prosperity. At this time, qi and blood are more active, the meridians are unobstructed, and the body's physiological functions are relatively active. When the human body is sick, the symptoms of the disease may be more likely to manifest when the qi and blood are active."

Mr. Ye said to everyone:

"Listen, I'm not wrong! It's not that I can't watch it, but it's not that I don't cooperate."

But just as he finished speaking, Fang Yan continued:
"However, professional Chinese medicine practitioners have undergone systematic study and long-term practice and are able to skillfully use diagnostic methods such as observation, auscultation, inquiry and palpation. Therefore, they can make an accurate diagnosis whether it is in the morning or afternoon. It just takes a little longer."

“So it’s okay to want a diagnosis.”

When Ye Shengtao heard this, his face suddenly froze. Fang Yan also realized that the old man didn't want to see a doctor.

Of course, other people also noticed his action.

Several leaders around him were reluctant to persuade him, but Mr. Shen didn't care. He asked:

"Old Ye, you have always been in good health. What are you afraid of?"

Mr. Ye thought for a moment and said:

"Well, I'm an old man over 80 years old, so I must have some health problems. It's okay if I don't check it out, and live in a muddle. If I check it out and find out that my health is not good, I will be under great psychological pressure, and maybe I will say goodbye to you."

Mr. Shen said to Mr. Ye:
"You are a typical example of someone who is afraid of seeing a doctor."

At this moment, Fang Yan recalled the information about Ye Shengtao that he had read in his previous life. This old man was a long-lived man. He was born in Suzhou in 1894 and lived until 1988, ending his glorious and fulfilling life.

All of his friends who were younger than him had not lived longer than he had.

For example, Zhu Ziqing and Xia Yizun both died of illness before and after liberation.

He is the only one who has maintained a good body. Although he is now in his eighties, he looks strong and healthy, as if he is in his seventies.

Among the elderly people Fang Yan has met so far, only his master Lu Donghua, who is over 80 years old, is more energetic than him. But the key point is that Ye Shengtao has never practiced martial arts, while Lu Donghua has been practicing martial arts and studying medicine since he was a child.

Fangyan estimated that the double vision in Lao Ye's eyes was not a big deal. It was probably caused by some problems with his recent diet or daily routine.

Fang Yan advised him:
"Your face is a sign of longevity. Look at your eyebrows. Not everyone can grow them."

"Our traditional culture also describes that as one ages, eyebrows grow longer, which is a sign of good fortune, indicating that the person will live a long life. The image of the God of Longevity has long eyebrows, and I see that you look pretty good, and you don't seem to have any serious health problems."

When the old man heard Fangyan's words, he looked over curiously and asked:
"Can you still read faces?"

Fangyan knows that young people may not believe this, but older people, especially those who have survived the old society and have met many masters, definitely believe it.

Fang Yan nodded and said:
"As Sun Simiao said in his book The Great Physician's Sincerity, anyone who wants to be a great doctor must be familiar with the Plain Questions, Jia Yi, Huangdi's Acupuncture Classic, the Mingtang Liuzhu, the twelve meridians, the three parts and nine signs, the five internal organs and six bowels, the exterior and interior acupoints, the Materia Medica, Yaodui, and the classic prescriptions of Zhang Zhongjing, Wang Shuhe, Ruan Henan, Fan Dongyang, Zhang Miao, Jin Shao, etc. He must also have a good understanding of yin and yang, fortune-telling, various physiognomy, the five signs of burning tortoise shells, and Zhouyi Liuren, and must be proficient in them."

"Although I can't say I'm an expert in physiognomy, I have learned a little bit. You have a face that indicates happiness and longevity."

Hearing what Fangyan said, a smile broke out on Mr. Ye's face. He should say it or not, regardless of whether it was feudal superstition or not, he liked to hear what Fangyan said.

Mr. Shen, who was lying on the bed, also said:

"That's right, Old Ye, even though you have no hair, your eyebrows are growing longer day by day."

Mr. Ye was not angry and said:
"Hahaha, just be envious." The people around couldn't help laughing.

The younger brother at the side was so excited that he was numb. He was looking at two top figures in the literary world, and he, the third brother, was just joking with them.

I wanted to speak several times, but took the words back when they came to my lips.

The halos of these two people in front of me are really too strong.

Fang Yan didn't know what the little brother beside him was thinking, so he continued:
"But this minor problem cannot be delayed. If it is treated properly, it is fine. But if it becomes serious, it will not be worth it."

The leaders around him also advised:

"Doctor Fang is right, Mr. Ye. It is not good to be afraid of seeing a doctor."

However, Ye Shengtao was still a little hesitant. It was not easy for a person to change his mind.

At this time, Mr. Shen also said to Mr. Ye:
"Old Ye, let me tell you this. All the patients that Dr. Fang has encountered so far have been cured. The cure rate is 100%."

As it turns out, old friends understand old friends best. The last sentence really hit the nail on the head for Mr. Ye. Since the cure rate is 100%, even if any problems are found, they can be cured!
Thinking of this, Mr. Ye no longer insisted and said to Fang Yan:

"Then show me."

Hearing him give in, the others also smiled.

"That's right." Mr. Shen said with a smile.

Soon Fangyan got the exact diagnosis of the condition through questioning.

It turned out that he found double vision when he looked to the left with his left eye after waking up a few days ago, but it was normal when he looked straight ahead.

Under Fangyan's guidance, he was asked to do eye rotation exercises. Fangyan found that the outward movement of his left eye was limited, and no obvious abnormalities were found in the rest of the eye examination.

After asking in Fangyan, it was also learned that Mr. Ye had no record of external injuries, hypertension, diabetes, hyperthyroidism, or heavy drinking.

I just get dizzy when I look to the left.

Fangyan checked his tongue coating and found it was pale. After taking his pulse, he found that the pulses in both hands were deep and thin.

Then Mr. Ye asked Fang Yan nervously:

"How is it? What's wrong? Is it serious?"

Fangyan shook his head and said:
"It's not serious, just eye muscle paralysis."

Mr. Ye asked curiously:
"Ophthalmoplegia? What causes this?"

The dialect said:

"The overall conclusion is that it is because of the busy work. It leads to spleen deficiency, disorder of transportation and transformation of the middle jiao, transformation of dampness and generation of phlegm, and weak qi propulsion."

"Then the blood circulation is not smooth, the blood vessels are stagnant, and the three pathological factors of phlegm, dampness and stasis affect each other, blocking the meridians. The extraocular muscles cannot be nourished by the essence, blood, body fluids and other fine substances. In addition, the internal wind is aroused, and the wind evil enters the meridians, which eventually leads to the occurrence of eye muscle paralysis."

Mr. Ye asked:
"Is it easy to cure?"

As soon as these words were spoken, other people around also turned their attention to Fang Yan.

This is what everyone is concerned about.

Fang Yan smiled and nodded:
"Don't worry, it's very easy to treat. You just need to replenish qi and strengthen the spleen, dispel wind, resolve phlegm and dredge the meridians."

After saying that, he took out a pen and paper and began to write the prescription in front of everyone.

PS: I got another 100 monthly tickets, so after finishing this chapter I still owe you 100000 words (it’s too much, I’ve been paying it back for several days, going around in circles)
There will be more updates in the afternoon.
