Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 604: You thought I could prescribe medicine? But I'm going to show you my acupuncture skills! (Monthly ticket plus more)
After hearing Fangyan's instructions, the patient nodded repeatedly and said to Fangyan:

"Okay, Doctor Fang, I've written it down. I'll go to the Union Hospital in seven days."

She had already made up her mind that as long as her current physical condition could improve within seven days, she would only seek medical treatment from Fangyan in the future.

According to the local dialect, it would take seven days for the condition to improve, and twenty days for the abdominal mass to go away, so all in all it took less than a month. For her who had been ill for more than two years, this was already quite fast.

Not to mention the subsequent adjustments.

As long as the previous promise can be fulfilled according to the dialect, she will believe it.

Fangyan tore off the prescription and instructions he had just written and handed them to the patient:
"Please take the list and be careful not to lose it."

The patient stood up, nodded, took it with both hands, and then bowed to Fangyan with gratitude.

"Thank you, Doctor Fang."

Fang Yan responded with a smile, and then shouted behind her:
"Next person."

The next person to come up was a young man in his twenties or thirties.

He came with his wife. After sitting down, he politely greeted Fangyan:
"Hello, Doctor Fang."

Fang Yan noticed at a glance that the muscles on his face were twitching and his right eye was tightly closed, as if he was aiming at something.

He nodded at him and said:

"Hello, can you tell me what's going on with you?"

The patient nodded and began to speak:
"Five years ago, I was beaten outside a factory. I was severely injured and my hand was broken. The right side of my face was swollen from my cheek to my eye socket and it was painful for more than a month before the swelling subsided. After that, I had intermittent numbness and muscle twitching."

When the patient was speaking, Fangyan found that he seemed to be intentionally suppressing the movement of opening his mouth, trying his best to keep his lips from moving.

It looks like talking to your deskmate in class, leaving only a small gap between your lips, and not closing and opening your mouth to make sounds.

The patient continued:
"I have been left with sequelae since then, with numbness and muscle twitching on my face from time to time."

"Last November, the right cheek began to ache frequently, and when it did, it felt quite severe."

"It was like someone was cutting the flesh on my face with a knife, and it was accompanied by a headache and dizziness, and afterwards, I had a bitter taste in my mouth and felt thirsty."

"I asked someone to look at it at the time, and they said that he had internal injuries from the beating five years ago, which left a root cause of the disease."

"Just a few days ago, I found that if I opened my mouth a little, it would flare up. I had to massage it gently with my hands to gradually relieve it. And for some reason, I couldn't open my right eye. Now it's like a bullet hole."

Fang Yan nodded when he heard this.

This is probably because the blood stasis after the trauma was not completely resolved, resulting in blood blockage. There is a saying that if there is pain, there is blockage, and if there is blockage, there is no pain. This is exactly what he is like.

However, he has delayed it for too long. If he only uses medicine, he may have to use some strong medicine to open it up.

In addition, it must be combined with external application of medicine.

The patient then added:
"Oh, and the right side of my face and lips feel much harder than the left side, and it hurts terribly when I press lightly."

His wife added:
"By the way, I went to the hospital before and they said it was a trident or something..."

Yang Jingxiang behind the dialect asked:

“Trigeminal neuralgia?”

The patient's wife nodded repeatedly:

"Yes, yes, it's trigeminal neuralgia."

Yang Jingxiang nodded, he already understood what was going on.

At the same time, he glanced at Zhang Yanchang standing beside him.

When it comes to treating meridian blockage caused by trauma, doctors who have secret recipes passed down from generation to generation are more skilled. In fact, the Zhang family should be the best at treating these diseases.

He was very curious, what would Fangyan do?
I heard that Fang Yan is Lu Donghua's apprentice. Although Lu Donghua's medical skills are average, he is famous for his fighting skills. He actually has many secret recipes for treating this kind of injuries. I wonder if he passed them on to Fang Yan?

This is also a way to see whether a master likes his apprentice. For a moment, the gossip fire in Yang Jingxiang's heart began to burn fiercely.

The other side dialect asked the patient to come closer.

Then he gently touched the patient's left and right cheeks with his fingers and confirmed that what the patient said was true. His right cheek was indeed harder than the left.

Then, Fangyan observed the patient's tongue and found that the tongue was red and had a greasy white coating.

Finally, he took the patient's pulse again and found the pulses in both hands to be stringy and slippery.

After a brief thought, Fang Yan quickly wrote down his dialectical judgment on the medical record:

The blood stasis accumulated in the body for a long time coagulates and does not dissipate, the liver loses its normal function of stretching and flowing smoothly, and the qi stagnates and turns into heat. This heat evil rushes up along the liver meridian and gallbladder meridian, and at the same time, heat evil also accumulates in the stomach, burning in the body like fire.

The wind and fire evils caused by the hyperactivity of liver yang should be calmed by calming liver yang; the meridians should be unobstructed by using the method of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.

Just when the three people behind thought Fangyan was going to start prescribing medicine.

Fangyan lifted up his sleeves.

The silver needle wristband inside was revealed.

He said to the patient:
"I will first use silver needles to invigorate blood circulation and dredge meridians to resolve your current condition. Then I will prescribe medicine for you to take back and slowly recuperate."

After hearing the words in the dialect, the patient was shocked, and his right eye, which was closed, slightly cracked. He said in a lost voice:

"Ah? Doctor Fang, do you mean that my right face can be cured now?"

Because his movements when speaking were a little loud, the pain mechanism on the right side of his face was triggered, causing him to gasp.

Fang Yan took out the silver needle and said:

"It's just to restore your face to normal condition. As for the other old diseases in your body, you still need to take medicine to slowly treat them."

After that, he held the patient's head with one hand and said to him:
"Hold on, it will be fine soon."

After saying that, he inserted a needle into the patient's cheek-cartilage acupoint. Fangyan had just treated a patient with this same trigeminal neuralgia some time ago, using the same acupuncture technique.

Fangyan used Cheng's Sancai Needle, and two of the three people behind him had never seen it before.

The unique vibrating needle technique stunned Zhang Yanchang and Yang Jingxiang behind him.

They saw with their own eyes that the patient's face began to change from being distorted to being normal, and then completely relaxed. Finally, after Fangyan left the needle in his face, he said:

"Try opening your mouth and eyes."

After hearing this, the patient immediately did as he was told, and then found that his right eye, which had been unable to open before, and his right face, which hurt when he opened his mouth, suddenly became normal.

It was as if the dialect had given him a new face.

The patient's voice was trembling with excitement. He said in disbelief:

"I...I...I'm fine?! No...I'm really fine? I'm really fine?!"

The patient's wife, who was standing by, was so surprised she couldn't speak for a long time. Seeing her husband's face suddenly return to normal, she swallowed and said:
"This... this is too magical, right? Just a few injections and it'll be fine?"

The three people behind Fangyan looked at each other. They didn't expect that Fangyan's acupuncture technique solved the problem so quickly. Although the root cause of the disease in the patient's body had not been removed, his face had returned to normal.

Professor Yue Meizhong, who was sitting not far from Fang Yan, saw this scene and said to Fang Yan in surprise:

"Is this Old Cheng's unique Cheng's Three Elements Needle?!"

"When did he secretly accept you as his apprentice?"

PS: After finishing this chapter, I still owe you 90000 words.

There will be more updates later.
