Chinese medicine: from rural hospitals to top three hospitals in Kyoto

As he was talking, some patients began to peek in at the door of the clinic.

Although all major hospitals now have a calling number system, there are still patients waiting in line at the door of the clinic who will occasionally come to take a look to see if there is anyone inside.

Seeing a patient looking around, Ren Yaxin started calling the next patient. The patient who was looking at the door also pushed the door and entered the clinic when he heard his number being called.

The patient who came in was a woman in her thirties. She had thick foundation on her face, but it could be seen from other parts of her body that her skin was very bad.

"sit down."

Ren Yaxin asked the woman to sit down, glanced at her, and said, "Next time you come to see a Chinese doctor, it's best not to put on makeup or brush your teeth. If you come early, it's best not to eat if you can."

Many people have no idea about seeing a Chinese medicine doctor. In fact, there are some things to pay attention to when seeing a Chinese medicine doctor.

First of all, Chinese medicine needs to look at your complexion, so don’t wear makeup when seeing a Chinese medicine doctor, just go bare-faced, because foundation and the like will cover your original complexion, which will bring certain difficulties to the doctor’s diagnosis.

Secondly, you cannot brush your teeth. Everyone knows that Chinese medicine diagnosis relies on observation, smell, questioning and palpation. The smell in the four examinations of Chinese medicine actually means listening to sounds and smelling odors. The patient's breath is also a criterion for doctors to judge the disease. At the same time, the tongue coating must also be looked at. Brushing your teeth will affect the doctor's judgment to some extent.

The next thing is time. It is best to see a Chinese doctor in the morning, on an empty stomach. The most standard requirement for Chinese medicine physical examination is that the patient should lie on his back in the morning, calm and composed. This way the doctor's diagnosis will be most accurate.

Chinese medicine diagnosis relies on a combination of these conditions to differentiate syndromes, combining the four examinations of inspection, auscultation, inquiry and palpation. The more useful information the doctor obtains, the more accurate the differentiation will be and the lower the probability of misdiagnosis will be.

Many people say that there are fewer and fewer good Chinese medicine practitioners nowadays. Precisely because there are few high-level Chinese medicine practitioners, when seeing a Chinese medicine practitioner, try not to make things more difficult for the doctor as much as possible. Seeing the doctor in the most simple and real state is actually the greatest responsibility you can take on yourself.

"I see."

The woman clearly showed some impatience: "How about I go wash my face now?"

"Tell me where you feel uncomfortable first." Ren Yaxin said.

"I have swollen and painful eyes, dry mouth, and trouble sleeping. I also have breast hyperplasia, cervical spondylosis, poor appetite, and back pain..."

The woman began to chatter non-stop.

Ren Yaxin listened patiently, waiting for the woman to finish speaking before asking, "Have you been to other hospitals before?"

"I've been to many hospitals and departments and done a lot of tests. Some doctors said I didn't have any serious problems, and some said I had a stomach problem, but I could feel that my whole body was uncomfortable. Western medicine is expensive and unreliable nowadays, so I believe in our Chinese medicine doctors..."

As soon as the woman opened her mouth, she started chattering again.

Ren Yaxin subconsciously glanced at Chen Yang beside her and saw that Chen Yang was observing the woman seriously and listening to what she said patiently.

After the woman finished speaking, Ren Yaxin smiled and asked Chen Yang: "Doctor Chen, what do you think?"

Chen Yang smiled and asked the woman, "Are you married?"

"I'm married and my child is five years old," said the woman.

"Are you usually in a bad temper?" Chen Yang asked.

"I'm usually in a good mood."

The woman glanced at Chen Yang, a little unhappy: "Don't talk nonsense."

"I'm just asking normally."

Chen Yang smiled and continued to ask: "What is your mother-in-law's temper like? Does she have a bad temper?

"You're right. My mother-in-law nags all the time. She cares about all kinds of trivial matters, as if she's trying to make things difficult for me..."

When this was mentioned, the woman started chattering again and began to criticize his mother-in-law in front of Chen Yang and the other two.

"I actually have a pretty good temper, but when I stay at home all day with my mother-in-law like that, how can I not be upset? Not to mention me, even if it's someone else, I can't stand it."

Chen Yang still smiled and asked, "Can you hear any sounds in the consulting room?"

"No." The woman was stunned.

"Listen again." Chen Yang reminded with a smile.

The woman was stunned for a moment, and this time she was a little more serious, and then she said, "It seems like someone is playing a song."

Chen Yang took the cell phone out of his pocket. The song was the one Chen Yang had just played. When the woman first talked to Ren Yaxin, Chen Yang turned on the phone and played music. The volume was not very loud, but it was not small either.

Although there were many patients outside the clinic, the sound insulation inside the clinic was actually very good. With the door closed, the sound from outside was almost inaudible. The woman didn't pay attention just now, but now that she listened carefully, she could clearly hear it.

"It was such a loud noise, why didn't I notice it just now?" said the woman.

"Listen again to see if there are any other sounds." Chen Yang continued, "Listen carefully, listen seriously."

The woman didn't say anything and started to listen carefully. Ren Yaxin and Wu Mengmeng also kept silent. For a moment, the clinic was silent.

The woman listened for half a minute, then looked at the clock hanging on the wall: "It's the sound of a clock moving."

"You couldn't hear the loud singing just now, so why can you hear the sound of the clock on the wall now?" Chen Yang asked with a smile.

"I wasn't paying attention just now..." said the woman.

"Yes, I didn't notice it just now."

Chen Yang said: "Look, in this clinic, in addition to the sound of songs, there is also the sound of clocks, the sound of the computer host, and the sound of our breathing... When you are not paying attention, you can't hear such loud singing, but when you pay attention, you can even hear the sound of the clock on the wall."

"Think about it, if you hear all these sounds at the same time, wouldn't it be annoying? And this is still in the clinic. If you are outside, there will be more noise, traffic noise, and more noise, but people will still selectively listen to the sounds instead of hearing all the sounds."

Chen Yang said: "You just complained about your mother-in-law's nagging, why didn't you complain about the noisy noises outside?"

“That’s different,” the woman said.

"Think about it again. When you entered the clinic just now, were you chattering non-stop? The doctor asked one question and you could say more than ten sentences, and you seemed to be feeling unsatisfied." Chen Yang continued.

"That's different. I was just explaining the situation." The woman was stunned, then retorted.

"Have you ever complained to other people? When you meet other people, do you start to talk about your discomfort and your mother-in-law's nagging, and you keep talking about it?" Chen Yang said, "Tell the truth."

The woman was stunned again and said nothing.

"Think about it now, are you a bit like your mother-in-law? When you look at your mother-in-law now, do you see what you will look like in the future?" Chen Yang continued to ask.
