Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 675: Visiting Overseas Chinese Businessmen in a Row, Rewards from the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office

"Give me your hand so I can take your pulse." After checking his tongue coating, Fangyan pointed to Mr. Zhao's hand.

As soon as Mr. Zhao raised his hand, he began to tremble uncontrollably.

It lasted for about two to three seconds and then it was over.

The amplitude of the tremor is not particularly large, but it is definitely the kind that can affect life.

"Look at you, it's so funny, you never know when it will happen." Mr. Zhao was so excited that he even spoke in his hometown dialect and complained about the dialect.

It must be said that Mr. Zhao has learned his hometown dialect quite well. Although he lives abroad, he still speaks Tianjin dialect very authentically, and you can smell that accent as soon as you open your mouth.

Fangyan then diagnosed Mr. Zhao's pulse in both hands.

Then he took out his pen and the notebook he had prepared and began to write the medical records.

Just now, the tongue coating was dark with petechiae, the root of the tongue coating was yellow and greasy, and the pulse was thin, stringy and slippery.

The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine states:
"All violence and stiffness belong to the wind"

Many sudden onset of severe limb convulsions and body rigidity are mostly related to "wind evil".

Therefore, combined with other symptoms in his body, Fangyan judged that this was due to insufficient Qi and Yin, which led to Qi deficiency causing phlegm, Yin deficiency causing heat, and internal accumulation of phlegm and heat, which resulted in internal wind movement. The syndrome was phlegm-heat and wind movement.

When the patient is over fifty years old, the body's Qi and Yin will naturally be deficient.

If the Qi is insufficient, the spleen and stomach's transportation and transformation functions will deteriorate, water metabolism will be abnormal, and phlegm and dampness will easily accumulate in the body; if the Yin is insufficient, it will produce false heat, which will disturb the liver and cause liver wind.

As a result, phlegm and heat will accumulate in the body, and liver wind will become more active, leading to tremors in the hands.

Wind-phlegm and evil heat invade the mind and obscure the clear orifices, so the patient will experience symptoms such as dizziness, poor sleep, stuffy pain in the chest, excessive sweating, and a dark tongue.

Fundamentally speaking, the essence of this disease is insufficient Qi and Yin, while the external symptoms are internal wind caused by phlegm, dampness and evil heat. When treating it, it is necessary to take into account the root cause and insufficient Qi and Yin, as well as deal with the surface symptoms such as phlegm, dampness, evil heat and internal wind.

Therefore, the treatment method is to clear away phlegm and heat, nourish blood and promote blood circulation.

Then Fangyan wrote down the prescription: 30 grams of whole Trichosanthes kirilowii, 10 grams of Arisaema consanguineum, 30 grams of Bamboo Sap, 15 grams of Uncaria rhynchophylla, 10 grams of Gastrodia elata, 30 grams of mother of pearl (fried first), 15 grams of Salvia miltiorrhiza, and 10 grams of Red Peony Root.

Also use 1.5 grams of antelope horn powder and take it with the decoction in two doses.

After writing the prescription, Fang Yan handed it directly to the patient.

"Mr. Zhao, this is your prescription. Just ask your assistant to go to our Union Pharmacy to pick up the medicine tomorrow. Drink it for seven days and see the effect."

Mr. Zhao immediately went over and said to Fang Yan as if he had found a treasure:

"Okay! Thank you, Doctor Fang!"

Then he stood up and walked aside.

The dean looked at his watch and saw that the first patient only took a few minutes to treat in dialect.

If this continues, the people behind should be able to finish watching it quickly.

He didn't arrange many people today. Those who are at the back of the queue will be arranged to go to the back and look for Fangyan.

If I were to see all of them today, I would have to hold a party and see the patients at the same time.

Then the second patient came up, a 2-year-old lady named Fan.

Fangyan felt that this girl looked a bit like a star from the 1s, but her age didn't match. She had an argument with her husband a year ago and had her first left-sided migraine. During the attack, she saw golden spots in front of her eyes and everything became blurry.

Then, during an attack, there will be severe headaches and restlessness, and after the attack, the head will continue to have a tingling and throbbing sensation that lasts for about a day.

Nausea and vomiting may occur during this period.

After that, the headaches occurred every month, and I saw a Western doctor who diagnosed it as vascular neurosis headache.

She was given ergotamine preparations, which initially relieved her headaches, but she later developed drug resistance.

Information about ergotamine preparations appeared in Fangyan's mind.

This thing is a type of drug used to treat diseases such as migraine. Its main ingredient is ergotamine, which can directly act on vascular smooth muscle, causing cerebral blood vessels to constrict and reduce the pulsation amplitude of cerebral arteries, thereby alleviating migraine.

However, ergotamine may cause uterine contractions, so some women may experience adverse reactions after using it.

Sure enough, Ms. Fan said that for the past three months, she had paroxysmal migraines every half a month, with persistent frontal headaches and a heavy and swollen head, as well as dizziness, dry eyes, tinnitus, bitter taste in the mouth, nausea, bloating after eating, insomnia and nightmares. In addition, her menstruation was delayed in the past three months, and black blood clots were excluded.

There is nothing else to it except dialect, so I checked this Ms. Fan first.

Her tongue was found to be dark red, with purple bruises on the edges, a thin white tongue coating, a light yellow center, and a deep, thin, and stringy pulse.

Combined with her previous quarrel with her husband, Fangyan dialectically concluded that the patient's anger damaged her liver, and her fatigue damaged her spleen due to poor sleep.

The liver is in a state of qi stagnation for a long time, which gradually turns into heat evil. Over time, the liver yin will be depleted unknowingly.

When the liver yin is deficient, the virtual yang will invade the normal physiological functions of the body.

At the same time, the spleen is damaged, which makes it impossible to metabolize the water and dampness normally, causing them to stagnate and accumulate in the body, leading to abnormalities in the ascending and descending functions of the spleen and stomach.

When a migraine attacks, there is a throbbing feeling. This is because there is stagnant heat evil and stagnant Qi in the body, which in turn causes blood stasis to block the blood vessels.

Therefore, whenever the liver yang is hyperactive, mixed with dampness and blood stasis, obscuring the clear yang qi, headaches are bound to occur.

The treatment method is to calm the liver, invigorate the spleen, extinguish wind and activate the collaterals.

Fangyan soon wrote out the prescription:
30 grams of rattan hook, 10 grams of chrysanthemum, 30 grams of mother of pearl (pre-boiled), 30 grams each of raw dragon and oyster (pre-boiled), 30 grams of coix seed, 10 grams of smilax china, 6 grams of angelica dahurica, 15 grams of red peony root, 30 grams of chuanxiong, 15 grams of chuanxiong, 10 grams of bamboo shavings, and 10 grams of lotus stem.

After Ms. Fan took her prescription, she gave it to her husband, said thank you and left.

In the end, it was her husband who came up and gave Fangyan a red envelope.

It seems that the couple is still in the cold war stage. Fangyan sighed, it turns out that some people get sick because of their own fault.

He didn't take it seriously and continued with the treatment.

I have treated several patients, and most of them were relatively simple illnesses. Fangyan was able to quickly diagnose the problem and provide a treatment plan.

Most people only need to continue taking medicine and don’t even need to be hospitalized. Fangyan doesn’t know why they drag on for several months or even several years.

I originally thought that this situation would only happen to poor people, but I didn't expect it to happen to this group of rich people as well. Some of them saw a doctor, but the condition was not good, and then they forgot about it because they were busy with business. After all, when the condition was not serious and did not affect their lives, they didn't care.

It was only when the condition became serious that I thought of seeking help from Fangyan.

Some people are currently receiving treatment from foreign Western medicine, but they find that it can only relieve their symptoms but cannot completely cure them. As a result, they have turned it into a long-term business.

And after taking some medicines and developing drug resistance, you have to switch to more expensive treatment plans.

These guys are all smart people, how could they not see the trick here?

So some people went to other countries for treatment, but they didn't expect that all crows are the same.

It was as if everyone had reached some kind of tacit understanding, and the treatment plans were basically the same, which made them very uncomfortable.

Finally, after hearing the story of the Zhou family, they decided to come back and look for Fangyan.

Before returning home, they were still very nervous. After all, this time they came back not only to find Fangyan for medical treatment, but also to invest in construction.

Although they may make a profit from investing in construction, the payback period for this investment and construction will be very long.

So although it is a win-win situation, from their perspective it is more like paying for medical treatment.

Moreover, those who got the visa today have already negotiated the project with Director Liao.

However, according to what they have learned so far, Fang Yan had been practicing medicine at Tong Ren Tang in Beijing for several months before treating the Zhou family's daughter, and had maintained a 100% cure rate.

Plus the incident with President Li.

There were about twenty people who returned from the same class and witnessed with their own eyes how Fang Yan used his medical skills to bring President Li back from the brink of death.

So they made a comprehensive judgment and decided to believe in dialects.

It took about two hours in total for Fangyan to finish seeing patient number 20.

I received a lot of red envelopes, even more than twenty.

The main thing was that someone had been unable to move freely for half a year, and after receiving acupuncture and massage and bone setting by Fangyan, he recovered and was able to walk and jump normally.

The family was so happy that they took out all the red envelopes they had planned to give out during the New Year and stuffed them into Fangyan's hands.

After that patient passed away, the atmosphere suddenly became more fanatical.

Compared to prescribing medicine.

The scene where acupuncture and massage take effect directly on the spot is more visually impactful.

After seeing all twenty patients, Director Liao immediately started to invite people to start today's dinner.

Those who had been ready to perform also began to go on stage.

The waiter started serving the dishes, and Fangyan quickly put away his things, as well as the handful of red envelopes.

The shoulder pocket was stuffed full.

Then, he and Director Liao and the others came to a table closest to the stage.

As soon as he sat down, he picked up the wine glass, didn't eat a bite of food, and didn't watch the performance on the stage, he immediately toasted every table.

Considering everyone's health, Director Liao is using low-alcohol rice wine today.

Fangyan was also holding a cup of rice wine, which smelled quite fragrant.

The wine that can be served at a state banquet is probably not a low-end drink.

Following Director Liao, we started by toasting at each table and getting to know these overseas Chinese who had returned one by one.

It took about 20 minutes to finally get to know all the people in this circle.

Only then did Fangyan return to the table.

After taking two bites of the food, Fangyan reported to Director Liao and the dean and prepared to leave.

I guess by now Lao Hu and his wife have already dealt with everything.

His family was waiting for him to have dinner.

Director Liao had already promised Fangyan, and when he heard that Fangyan was leaving, he immediately called his secretary.

"Xiao Shen, send Doctor Fang back."

After that, Director Liao took a shoulder bag and handed it to Fang Yan, holding his hand and said:
"Fang Yan, thank you for your hard work today. This is a small gift from our Overseas Chinese Affairs Office. Take it."

I heard Fangyan's voice, but my hand felt quite light and I was about to ask what it was.

Director Liao said to him:
"Look again when we go back."

PS: The 6000-word basic chapter has been updated.

There will be more later.
