Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 957 The Insect Style of Nan Zhu and Bei Jiao, Qinan String Invites Jin Shiyuan (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets)
"Please take my pulse," Fang Yan said to Chu Dan.

The other person extended their hand, and Fang Yan then noticed that their hands were also dark, making them look like a native Southeast Asian.

However, upon closer inspection, it can be seen that the distribution of black spots is not actually uniform; the areas around the joint creases are noticeably darker. This reminded Fang Yan of Comrade Hu from the China Academy of Engineering Physics, whose Addison's disease also presented a similar situation. (See Chapter 904)
However, his gums had black spots, and his entire body was several shades darker.

The person in front of me, Chu Dan, does indeed have itchy gums.

There is a difference, but judging from the dialect, it's highly likely that both of them have kidney problems.

After a while, Fang Yan felt Chu Dan's pulse.

The pulse is deep, thin, and wiry.

When she opened her mouth to show Fang Yan, he had already seen her tongue, which was pale and dark with a thin white coating.

In addition, the patient was weak and thin, with receding and blackened gums, and other symptoms and tongue and pulse findings.

Fang Yan believes his previous guess was correct, and the root cause lies in his own insufficient kidney qi and deficiency of Shaoyin.

Chu Dan's purplish and receding gums have persisted for eight years. According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, "teeth are the surplus of bones," and the kidneys govern bones and produce marrow. Deficiency of kidney qi can lead to malnourishment, recession, and discoloration of the gums.

The itching must be caused by wind-evil, but the itching only appears on the gums and there are no signs of external wind-evil. This indicates that the internal wind hidden deep in the kidney meridian is causing the problem.

Therefore, the treatment must involve warming and tonifying the kidney yang to replenish the deficiency, while simultaneously dispelling wind and eliminating pathogenic factors.

This refers to a treatment method that warms the kidneys, replenishes deficiencies, and dispels latent wind.

However, she mentioned that she had sought treatment from many people before, but none of them could cure her. Although Fang Yan didn't know who these people were, Fang Yan assumed that the previous treatments hadn't used the right medication, which was why they hadn't cured her.

So this time, the dosage of medicine for the dialect needs to be increased accordingly.

And we need to use a more potent insecticide formula.

As for whether to use Master Zhu's insect medicine formula or his own master Master Jiao's insect medicine formula...

Actually, the dialect is more similar to Zhu Lao's.

In terms of using insecticides, Master Jiao was more steady and less aggressive, while Master Zhu's prescriptions were different; they were all aimed at achieving quick results, so his style was more aggressive.

This is also related to the patient groups they come into contact with. Jiao Lao was in the Central Medical and Health Care Group, specializing in treating leaders. It was a one-on-one service, and the treatment had to be very stable. Sometimes he would even give up using insect medicine.

Because Mr. Zhu interacts with all sorts of people in society, his methods are designed to help patients recover as quickly as possible and return to their daily lives. Based on his extensive experience over many years, he has developed his own rapid insect repellent techniques.

Safety is guaranteed, it's just that it looks a bit scary.

After thinking it over, Fang Yan finally decided to use Old Zhu's prescription.

The more you learn, the more annoying it becomes; you always face a difficult choice when it comes to medication.

Fortunately, the choice of dialect wasn't too difficult. If it were someone with decision-making difficulties, they would probably be frowning and stroking their chin right now.

Soon, Fang Yan picked up a pen and began writing medical records.

After briefly analyzing and writing down the patient's condition, Fang Yan picked up the prescription form, placed carbon paper on it, and began writing.

prescription:

Aconite 6g (decocted first), Cinnamon 5g (added later), Rehmannia glutinosa 15g, Cornus officinalis 12g, Morinda officinalis 10g, Scorpion 3g, Centipede 1 piece, Bombyx mori 9g, Earthworm 10g, Angelica sinensis 12g, Ligusticum chuanxiong 9g, Glycyrrhiza uralensis 6g, Honey 30ml (to be taken with water).

Decoction method
First decoction: Soak aconite in cold water for 30 minutes, then decoct separately for two hours to reduce toxicity.

Add last: Add cinnamon in the last 5 minutes to retain its volatile components.

Add honey after decocting to reduce the odor of insect-based medicine and enhance its moisturizing effect.

Dosage: One dose per day, taken in two divided doses while warm.

Then, the dialect also included a logical analysis of the formula.

For kidney qi deficiency and yin deficiency, warm and tonify kidney yang:
Chief herbs: Aconite and Cinnamon.

Aconite is extremely pungent and hot, warming the kidneys and assisting yang, dispelling cold evil in the lesser yin; cinnamon guides fire back to its source, enhancing the warming effect on the kidneys.

The accompanying herbs are: Morinda officinalis, Rehmannia glutinosa, and Cornus officinalis.

Morinda officinalis tonifies kidney yang and strengthens tendons and bones; Rehmannia glutinosa and Cornus officinalis nourish the kidneys and replenish essence, embodying the principle of "seeking yang within yin" and preventing dryness and heat from damaging yin.

Targeting latent wind in the kidney meridian, dispel wind and unblock the meridians:

Insect-based medicines: scorpion, centipede, silkworm, earthworm.

Scorpion and centipede dispel deep-seated wind-evil from the meridians (Master Zhu was good at using this medicine to treat stubborn wind); silkworm and earthworm dispel wind, resolve phlegm, unblock meridians, and relieve itching, targeting localized itching of the gums.

Furthermore, since prolonged illness inevitably leads to blood stasis, it is essential to invigorate and nourish the blood.

Angelica sinensis and Ligusticum chuanxiong invigorate blood circulation and nourish blood, improving gingival recession and dark complexion (refer to the pathogenesis of "blood stasis leading to darkening" in Comrade Hu's case).

Finally, harmonize and reduce toxicity:
Prepared licorice root and honey harmonize the various medicines, alleviate the toxicity of aconite and insect-based drugs, and protect the stomach and regulate the middle jiao.

If the dialect diagnosis is correct, just one dose of this medicine will significantly reduce her gum itching today.

Another dose of medicine the next day should relieve the itching. However, she has been ill for quite some time. Although the wind in her body has been cleared, her kidney energy still needs to be repaired slowly. Her skin and gums are weak, so she will need to take other kidney-nourishing and essence-replenishing formulas in conjunction with her treatment.

He spoke to the patient in a dialect:
"I've prescribed the medicine, but it will take some time to brew it."

"It will probably be ready around lunchtime. You should go and get admitted to the hospital now. Also, after taking this medicine, you can't drink cold water or eat cold food, or there will be problems."

Chu Dan nodded:
"I understand, I understand. I haven't touched anything cold in a long time."

Fang Yan continued:

"In addition, rinsing your gums with a mild salt water solution at night will make you feel much better."

"Okay!" Chu Dan agreed.

"Alright, you can go and complete the admission procedures now," Fang Yan said to her.

After saying that, Chu Dan took out something wrapped in red cloth from her bag and placed it on the table.

It looks like a box for some kind of jewelry.

Then she said to Fang Yan:

"These are two strings of Qinan agarwood bracelets, which were custom-made before. Dr. Fang may not know that Qinan agarwood is the finest of agarwood, extremely precious and rare. There is a saying that 'one piece of wood has five fragrances, different in the morning and evening,' and it is known as the 'King of Fragrances.' Its fragrance is long-lasting and penetrating, which can help people relax their mind and body and calm their spirits."

Fang Yan suddenly realized that this thing also had a bottle of Qinan oil, which was known as liquid gold.

The original body has now appeared.

And there were two strings of them.

Fang Yan said to Chu Dan:

"Ms. Chu, you are very kind."

Chu Dan smiled and waved her hand, saying:

"It's just a small token of my appreciation. I hope Dr. Fang's prescription can cure me soon."

He said in dialect:

"Don't worry, you'll feel the effects after drinking it at noon."

Upon hearing Fang Yan's words, Chu Dan's expression brightened with joy.

He clasped his hands together in front of the dialect and said:
"Then I'll wait for Doctor Fang's medicine to be ready!"

After speaking, he bowed and then backed out the door.

His devout appearance, like that of a believer, left the dialect speaker both amused and exasperated.

She had just left when Professor Jin Shiyuan returned.

He was somewhat surprised to see that there was only one patient left outside. He had arrived quickly enough, but Fang Yan had arrived even faster.

"You've already finished reading two of them?" Professor Jin Shiyuan asked Fang Yan.

“Yes, we just happened to come across two cases that were relatively easy to verify, so it was quicker to see,” Fang Yan replied, then picked up the money intended for Jin Shiyuan from the table.
"Oh, by the way, this is the red envelope the patient just gave me. Everyone who sees it gets a share."

Jin Shiyuan was taken aback, then smiled and said:

"Haha, I've heard more than once that you can get a red envelope even if you just stand by and watch, I didn't expect it to be true."

“That’s right, everyone gets a share, I can’t keep it all to myself,” Fang Yan said to Jin Shiyuan.

Seeing the money in his hand, Professor Jin Shiyuan suddenly asked:

"By the way, I heard that Lao Ren and Lao Yue have invested in your company?"

Fang Yan could tell from his accent that this person was interested, so he smiled and said:

"Besides them, there are also many teachers from our school, such as my homeroom teacher, Professor Fang Yaozhong, Principal Wang Yuchuan, and Professor Zhao and Professor Cheng from the research institute next door."

Upon hearing this, Jin Shiyuan nodded thoughtfully.

Fang Yan said to him:
“They are all contributing their technology as equity; they don’t need to invest money, just their technology. If you’re interested, you’re welcome to join them.”

Jin Shiyuan probably didn't expect the dialect to be so direct.

He paused for a moment, then said:

"So what do I need to do?"

PS: I got another 100 monthly votes, so I'll finish this chapter. I currently owe everyone 101000 words.

There will be an extra update this afternoon!
