Physician’s Odyssey

Later, several more patients came in. Xiao Jingjing was surprised by Hattori Mai’s adaptability and learning ability. She had only observed her treatment next to her before, and had never seen a patient in person, but now she is no stranger to treating patients. , Wang Wen Qiqi all reached an excellent level, there was no slightest mistake.

This is understandable.

Hattori Mai was originally an excellent student who graduated from medical school. She has outstanding academic performance. Now she is studying in Sanweitang and devotes almost all of her time to the study of Chinese medicine. From the beginning of rejection, confusion and incomprehension, she has accepted , Clarity, and epiphany, not only spent a lot of energy, but also broke through many difficulties.

Seeing that Hattori Mai is getting more and more proficient, Xiao Jingjing no longer interferes. She just observes from the side, and she sees that Xiao Jingjing is at ease with herself. She herself is becoming more and more confident, so the speed of consultations has also accelerated.

"I have a migraine again. I started taking medicine yesterday and it hasn't improved. I went to the Municipal People’s Hospital and had a head CT, but the doctor said there was no problem, saying that Sanweitang is the best Chinese medicine clinic in the country. So I want to come and see if there is any problem." An old lady who is about 50 years old said in a listless state.

"I'll help you get your pulse." Hattori Mai carefully observed the white of the eyes and tongue coating of the old lady, and gave her a pulse. "I don't know if the CT film of your head was taken."

"Take it, take it." The old lady looked at Mai Hattori suspiciously, wondering if this is not a doctor of Chinese medicine, is it possible that she still understands this stuff?

A hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Jingjing's eyes, her gaze fell on the CT film. She was a well-known student in the school when she was in college. Although she studied Chinese medicine, she also had some knowledge of Western medicine. She also understood CT films.

Two or three minutes later, Hattori Mai returned the CT film to the old lady, and said patiently: "From the film, your disease is not too problematic, and brain tumors or blood clots can be ruled out."

The old lady said disappointedly: "Do you want me to go back and lie down again?"

Hattori Mai shook her head and said, "Your headache is related to cervical spondylosis. If possible, I will give you a few injections and prescribe you some more medicines. After I go back, I will drink for a while before coming back for a follow-up visit."

"But my cervical spine doesn't hurt." The old lady said suspiciously.

"Vertebral artery or other blood vessels are compressed by proliferative bone, or facet joint degeneration oppresses the vertebral artery, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the brain, which can cause headaches." Hattori Mai explained patiently, "In fact, the method given to you by Western medicine does not There is nothing wrong with it, through bed rest, proper physical therapy, and then using drugs that nourish nerves and expand blood vessels to improve the blood supply to the head, so that the purpose of treatment can be achieved."

The old lady gradually trusted Hattori Mai, "Then give me some shots as you want. Girl, your accent doesn't seem to be our local."

Hattori Mai took out her needle belt and said with a smile, "I am from an island country."

"Islanders actually come to Sanweitang Chinese Medicine?" The old lady was a little surprised.

"Sanweitang is the best Chinese medicine chain clinic in China. Since I study Chinese medicine, I must study in the best place." Hattori Mai said truthfully.

"You mean, are you still an apprentice?" The old lady's face changed drastically, looking at Hattori Mai in amazement.

"Please rest assured, there will be no problems." Xiao Jingjing whispered beside her, "My name is Xiao Jingjing and I am also the doctor here. We will treat you together."

"I saw you on TV. Is this Su Tao's female disciple? I look much better than on TV. I am completely relieved if you are watching by the side." The old lady breathed a sigh of relief, her face pale. A touch of rosy.

With Xiao Jingjing's encouragement, Hattori Mai took a deep breath. She asked the old lady to take off her shirt and face her back, and then carefully punctured the acupuncture points near her cervical vertebrae.

Xiao Jingjing found that Hattori Mai’s technique was still hard, and she reminded softly: “You are still very accurate in identifying acupoints, but because there is still a difference between the feel of the real person and the acupuncture model, the needle should be soft and fast when the needle is applied, and the rhythm should be paid attention to when twisting the needle. Change the intensity according to the different degree of the patient’s muscle group."

Hattori Mai nodded slightly, and the next few shots were much smoother.

When the last needle was pulled out, Hattori Mai said in a low voice, "Please feel it, is it much better?"

The old lady twisted her neck from side to side, her eyes were full of surprises, "Yes, it really got better, Chinese medicine is really amazing."

Hattori Mai wrote a prescription to remind you: “Take it twice a day after you go back. Also, be careful not to stay at the desk for a long time, walk more, stay in bed, and it will cure your cervical spondylosis in about three months.”

The old lady took the medicine and left thankfully. After taking the medicine, she came over to say hello.

Hattori Mai is in a good mood. She now has a full sense of accomplishment and has a deeper understanding of Chinese medicine.There is a difference between western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine. Neurology and cervical spine medicine belong to different departments. Because the old lady has a headache, she must go to the brain department to register first, and the brain doctor asked her to do a brain CT, but no problem was found , So I can only tell the old lady that there is no problem with her brain, it may be other parts of the disease have caused headaches.

The old lady has to hang several numbers in the same hospital, which is definitely hard to accept. But in Sanweitang, there are not so many problems. All the doctors are experienced. As long as the pulse number and observation are added, the cause of the patient can be known.

"Your performance just now was wonderful, and it's pretty good for a beginner." Xiao Jingjing praised with satisfaction, "Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to seeking the root of the disease. For example, for the patient just now, you must not only make her head hurt, but also To find out the root cause of her head pain, and to find out the cervical spine problems, is no small initiative."

Hattori Mai laughed self-deprecatingly, “When I was an intern at Kyoto Hospital, I spent a while in the Cervical Spine Department. Many patients with cervical spondylosis have migraine complications, so they quickly connected.”

Xiao Jingjing nodded and said: "You are proficient in Western medicine, which is also the advantage of learning Chinese medicine. The experience of Western medicine often brings good inspiration to Chinese medicine. However, I still have to criticize you. Just now you gave that old lady the last acupuncture and moxibustion. Needle, there is a serious problem."

Hattori Mai looked at Xiao Jingjing in surprise, and said humbly: "Please correct me."

Xiao Jingjing walked behind Hattori Mai and pressed her finger to an acupoint near her cervical spine. "Although this acupoint is useful for treating patients with cervical spondylosis in many scriptures, it is obviously not suitable for the patient just now. I noticed a detail. Before and after the treatment, did she smell a lot bigger?"

Hattori Mai said in surprise, "You mean, she has body odor?"

Body odor is a genetic problem that plagues many people.

There are two types of sweat glands in the human body. One type of eccrine glands accounts for about 90% of the sweat glands. The sweat glands are relatively thin and generally tasteless.Another type of apocrine glands are concentrated in the armpits, under the crotch, and in the external auditory canal. The sweat discharged contains various proteins and fatty acids.The secretions of the apocrine glands are not smelly, but after the secretions are decomposed by the bacteria on the body surface, various unsaturated fatty acids are produced, which gives the smell.

There are 23 pairs of chromosomes in the human body. The problem lies in a gene on the long arm of the 16th pair of chromosomes. A small mutation in this gene leads to the abnormally strong secretion function of the human apocrine glands, which can eliminate some macromolecular organic substances that ordinary people cannot secrete. Secreted out.The bacteria on the surface of the body get these nutritious macromolecular substances, and then they multiply and decompose, producing many substances with special pungent odor.

Xiao Jingjing nodded slightly, and sighed: "Body odor is related to the development of apocrine glands. Her body odor is not very serious, but the acupuncture point you just stimulated, in addition to the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and soothing cervical congestion, it also stimulates The effect of sweat glands, so her body odor problem has become more serious."

Hattori Mai's fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, "Do you want her to come back and remedy it, okay?"

Xiao Jingjing shook her head and said, "That won't be enough. Although her body smell may be a little bigger these days, perspiration is originally a process of detoxification, which helps her clean up impurities in her body. And the duration will not Too long, when she comes to the door again, check again at that time, if it still affects, just use medicine to treat it."

Hattori Mai said with emotion: "Traditional Chinese medicine is really a broad and profound knowledge. Acupuncture points must also pay attention to the multiple functions of acupuncture points and cannot be treated at will."

Xiao Jingjing praised: "That's right, so although the predecessors of traditional Chinese medicine have left us a lot of acupuncture and moxibustion medical books, we cannot blindly follow blind faith. Instead, we must carry out comprehensive treatment according to the different conditions of the patient. For example, the patient just now, if you are worried If you don’t have a particularly good effect, you can choose other acupuncture points to replace it, which can still relieve the pain of cervical spondylosis."

During the conversation between the teacher and the apprentice, another patient entered. The two ended the exchange. Hattori Mai continued to treat the patient. Xiao Jingjing found that observing from a third-party perspective is also a way to learn and improve. From the perspective of the diagnosis and treatment of Hattori Mai, it can be studied. There are many inspirations.

This may be the reason why the authorities are fans and the bystanders clear.

Xiao Jingjing has also learned a lot from Hattori Mai, and knows her current shortcomings. She still lacks a lot in the research of Western medicine. Su Tao is known as the number one Chinese medicine doctor in China. In fact, few people know Su Tao. In fact, her knowledge in Western medicine is very deep. Xiao Jingjing knows that if she wants to make progress, she must also be tolerant of Western medicine and learn from its strengths.

Young western doctors like Hattori Mai have already begun to come into contact with Chinese medicine. If they are still standing still, they will only be eliminated sooner or later.

China has ever encountered the most humiliating semi-colonial period. This unbearable memory gave the entire nation a spiritual quality of self-criticism and introspection-deep into the bones.
