Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 960 A Medical Examination for Director Liao (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets)
After his initial excitement, Wang Di seemed to have burned out, and became somewhat listless again.

Fang Yan was afraid that he would fall and not be able to get up on the way, so she simply asked two classmates to take him.

With his assistant and wife Li Yin by his side, if he were to collapse halfway down the road, the two of them might not be able to move him.

Meanwhile, Wang Di saw that Fang Yan had asked someone to take him home, and remembered that he hadn't asked anyone to take the other three people home.

In his heart, he felt that the dialect was a gift that recognized his identity.

I thought to myself: Sure enough, I made the right choice with this gift.

After seeing the person off, Fang Yan finished writing the medical record and then gave the prescription to another classmate, asking him to go to the pharmacy for help.

Next, he needed to contact the person at the hospital who could make a special abdominal binder.

The production of these medical assistive devices is undertaken by the hospital's internal logistics department, which is responsible for material management and equipment maintenance.

The management of sewing equipment and the production of textiles usually fall under the purview of the logistics or general affairs departments, which are responsible for the daily production and maintenance of medical supplies.

The logistics department often undertakes practical work such as sewing and equipment repair.

Specialized abdominal binders, as auxiliary tools for external treatments, fall under the category of medical textile products.

All they need to do is go over and say hello; there's no need for complicated approvals or external collaboration, and they can produce dialects for them.

"You all wait here for a while. I'm going to the logistics department to hand over the production of the special abdominal binder."

"Later, Director Liao from the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office will be coming over for a full physical examination. Please receive him and tell him I'll be back soon."

Fang Yan addressed Professor Jin Shiyuan and the remaining students.

Several people nodded.

Next, Fang Yan went out and went to the logistics department first. The manager there was Brother Ma, who installed the heating in Fang Yan's house. Fang Yan's current Mercedes 300SL Gullwing was also serviced there.

Fang Yan told him he wanted to order something, and without hesitation, he immediately called over five people in the area who knew how to sew.

They even asked how many dialects they needed, promising to make them as soon as possible.

"I only need one..." Fang Yan scratched his head, speechless.

Now Brother Ma was also embarrassed. Why didn't he ask how many they wanted first?
In the end, Fangyan still gave them their custom order. Brother Ma said he would make it before lunch and then deliver it to the Fangyan Traditional Chinese Medicine ward floor.

Fang Yan nodded, thanked Brother Ma, and then took his leave.

When Fang Yan returned to her clinic, she found that Director Liao had not yet arrived.

He had previously said that he would come down to conduct a physical examination as soon as he saw a patient go upstairs.

It seems they've forgotten about it now, being so busy.

Fang Yan thought for a moment and prepared to go out to find Director Liao.

Just as I was about to leave, Director Liao arrived.

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry! I was chatting with overseas Chinese businessmen for a while and that took up too much time," Director Liao said with a laugh as he walked in.

Fang Yan said to him:
"I was just about to go out to look for you. I thought you had forgotten about me."

Director Liao waved his hand:

"No, I forgot other things, but I can't forget this."

After saying that, he walked over and sat down in front of Fang Yan. Secretary Zhou behind him handed him tea. After taking a sip, he asked Fang Yan:

"How was the treatment for the four of them today? Did it go smoothly?"

He said in dialect:

"It's alright, much easier to treat than the people from the previous days."

After saying that, he handed the medical record directly to Director Liao.

This is not a patient, but a leader.

The dialect sounds more like a work report at this moment.

Looking at the detailed records in the medical records, Director Liao reviewed each person's case.

Then he spoke to the dialect:

"That's how they are. They're very impatient. As soon as they come back, they quickly finalize the cooperation and can start treating patients immediately. For those whose conditions aren't so severe, they'll basically observe for a few days first."

"So most of the people behind them are the kind that are easier to treat."

Fang Yan nodded:
"You have a point."

Director Liao noticed the various treatment methods Fang Yan used in the medical records and asked him curiously:

"By the way, how are you planning to examine me this time?"

The dialect responded:
"After a comprehensive examination using the four diagnostic methods of observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation, I will then use the Luo's Bone Setting Method to realign your muscles and bones."

Director Liao nodded and said with a smile:

"Okay, let's go then."

"Last time, you diagnosed my leg problem without even looking at it, which was more accurate than using instruments. Now I want to see just how powerful the four diagnostic methods of observation, listening, questioning, and palpation really are."

Fang Yan said to him:
"Put your hand out, stick your tongue out, then open your mouth and curl it back in. I want to see down there."

Director Liao obeyed and did as instructed.

Fang Yan noticed that Director Liao's tongue had a thick, greasy, and yellow coating, a slightly purplish-dark texture, and faint ecchymosis on the tip.

My teeth are a bit yellow from drinking strong tea and coffee.

"Do you smoke?" Fang Yan asked Director Liao.

"I only smoke a little," Director Liao replied. "I noticed your tea was a bit strong just now," Fang Yan asked.

Director Liao smiled and said to Fang Yan:

"It's refreshing. As you get older, it's easy to lose focus. Drinking tea can refresh your mind. And this is jasmine tea, not strong tea, but with a very strong floral aroma."

"..." Fang Yan was speechless.

At this point, when examining the radial artery pulse, the focus is on observing the pulse at the left radial artery corresponding to the heart. If a weak pulse is found, it indicates insufficient heart strength.

Based on the situation just now, Fang Yan concluded that Director Liao's swollen feet last time were probably related to his heart condition.

Director Liao also has a strong ability to observe. He immediately noticed the change in Fang Yan's expression and asked him:
"what happened?"

Fang Yan asked him:
Do you usually experience heart palpitations or anxiety?

Director Liao shook his head:

"No, I've been perfectly normal these past few years."

After thinking for a moment, he said:

"However, they mentioned having diabetes a few years ago and have been undergoing long-term treatment and management ever since."

He asked in dialect:

"Chinese medicine or Western medicine?"

Director Liao responded:

"At first, we used Western medicine, but later your master Jiao Shude prescribed a medicine, and after drinking it, I felt much better."

"However, there are times when I'm quite busy, so I still take Western medicine."

Fang Yan nodded.

Diabetes is also related to factors such as long-term fatigue and irregular eating habits.

It can also damage blood vessels.

Director Liao then said:
"Your master said that in traditional Chinese medicine it's not called diabetes, it's called something else..."

"It's thirst," Fang Yan said.

Director Liao nodded:

"Yes, I just keep wanting to drink water, but I can't seem to get enough."

Fang Yan asked him:
Does this situation still exist?

Director Liao shook his head:

"It's gone, it's long gone."

Fang Yan then began to diagnose his right hand.

And asked:

Have you been experiencing shortness of breath lately, especially at night or after exertion?

"A little bit," Director Liao said.

Fang Yan asked again:
"Any sudden onset of shortness of breath?"

Director Liao said somewhat uncertainly:

"no?"

After saying that, he added definitively:
"no!"

Fang Yan continued to ask:

Do you experience radiating pain in the scapular region or left arm?

Director Liao continued to shake his head:
"This does not."

After saying that, he paused for two seconds, then changed his mind:
"Oh, no! There was a brief, fleeting pain, and the tests came back normal."

Fang Yan nodded, and then began to press the Neiguan acupoint on the inside of his wrist.

"How are you feeling? Do you feel any pain?" Fang Yan asked.

Director Liao gasped:
"Hiss... a little! But I can still handle it."

Then Fang Yan stood up, went to Director Liao's side, touched his Tanzhong acupoint, and gently pressed it.

"Ouch! It hurts a little!" Director Liao said.

Fang Yan then changed positions again, pressing on the Zhiyang acupoint below the spinous process of his 7th thoracic vertebra.

"What about here?"

Director Liao said this time:
"I don't feel anything!"

After he finished speaking, he asked in dialect:

"So, what did they find out?"

Fang Yan composed herself and said to him:
"Your long-term overwork has led to a deficiency of heart yang, and blood stasis and dampness have not only obstructed your lower limbs but also affected your heart vessels. If left untreated, it may easily develop into 'chest pain'... well, that is, what Western medicine calls heart disease."
