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

"Xiao Chen, please continue."

Ge Huaqun said to Chen Yang with a smile.

Although Chen Yang just said two simple sentences, Ge Huaqun could see that Chen Yang was not simple.

Even Ying Gaoping looked at Chen Yang in surprise, wondering where Director Ge found this young man, and his level seems to be no worse than Zeng Yunhui's.

"Can I take a look at Director Bu's tongue coating?" Chen Yang asked.

"of course can."

Without waiting for Ge Huaqun to speak, Bu Xuemei said with a smile.

Chen Yang walked forward, Bu Xuemei opened her mouth, and Chen Yang looked at Bu Xuemei's tongue coating.

"The purple tongue of Buchuchang shows that there is blood stasis in the body, which hinders the normal flow of body fluids. Therefore, the usual drugs for nourishing yin and promoting body fluids will not only be ineffective, but will also aggravate the blood stasis."

Chen Yang said.

The patient's lack of body fluid is not due to the scarcity of body fluid, but rather the retention of blood stasis, which hinders the normal flow of body fluid. If yin-nourishing and body fluid-producing drugs are used, the body fluid will be produced but the blood stasis will still not be unblocked, and the body fluid will only accumulate in the place where it is stagnant.

In fact, in traditional Chinese medicine, tumors, nodules, etc. are the body's tissues, negative fluids, etc. In modern medical terms, they are formed by the continuous accumulation of cells.

The reason why malignant tumors are difficult to cure is that the root cause cannot be found, and they are just removed blindly. However, the factors that cause accumulation or agglomeration are still there. Even if they are removed, accumulation and agglomerations will form again, and the tumor will recur.

From this perspective, the cause of malignant tumors can actually be explained.

The reason why the prescription for nourishing yin and promoting body fluid that a Chinese medicine doctor prescribed for Bu Xuemei was useless was because the cause of the disease was not identified.

"Then, Xiao Chen, what method do you think should be used to treat this condition?" Ge Huaqun asked Chen Yang.

"We should use the method of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and assist with unblocking the meridians." Chen Yang said.

Relatively speaking, Bu Xuemei's theory of insufficient body fluid caused by internal blood stasis can indeed easily mislead some doctors.

After learning about Bu Xuemei's symptoms, most doctors would subconsciously think that Bu Xuemei's condition was caused by insufficient body fluid. In addition, the patient's symptoms worsened after infusion, which was obviously a yin deficiency syndrome, so it was right to replenish yin and produce body fluid.

But in fact, such treatment will not only be ineffective, but will also make the condition worse.

"Director Bu just said that his tongue couldn't even move at midnight. This is also a clear symptom of blood stasis. If it was simply a lack of body fluid, the tongue wouldn't be stiff and unable to move."

Chen Yang said: "If it is blocked, it will hurt. If it is blocked, it will become stiff. It's like a water pipe. If a plastic water pipe is blocked, it will often become straight. On the contrary, when the water flows smoothly, it can bend more easily."

Zeng Yunhui and Wen Manlu seemed to be deep in thought.

It was the same situation, but Chen Yang analyzed so many things from it. This is the difference between a good doctor and an ordinary doctor.

Traditional Chinese medicine doctors need to extract clues from the patient's description and symptoms, and the differences between doctors often manifest themselves in this area.

It's like solving a case. For the same thing, some people only see the surface, while others can think of the deeper level.

"And Director Bu just said that if you drink some warm water, the situation will be slightly relieved. Blood flows when it is hot and coagulates when it encounters cold. This also shows that Director Bu has blood stasis." Chen Yang continued.

"As for the symptoms of dry lips and mouth caused by blood stasis, it is recorded in Zhang Zhongjing's Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Synopsis of the Golden Chamber that 'the patient...has withered lips, a blue tongue, and a dry mouth, but wants to rinse with water but not swallow...it is due to blood stasis.'"

Then Chen Yang asked Bu Xuemei: "Every time Director Bu drinks water, do you feel that it is enough to just rinse your mouth with water, and you don't actually want to swallow it?"

"You drink too much every day, so you definitely can't drink anymore." Bu Xuemei said.

"Xiao Chen is really amazing."

Ge Huaqun smiled and said, "Yes, Director Bu's condition is indeed blood stasis. We plan to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and assist with unblocking the meridians."

Then Ge Huaqun asked Chen Yang: "Xiao Chen, what prescription should I use?"

Chen Yang gave the prescription and said, "Don't eat sour or cold foods, including acidic fruits."

Bu Xuemei asked in confusion: "Why is that? I understand that you can't eat cold food, but why can't you eat acidic fruits? I'm often thirsty, and I drink a lot of water, so sometimes I want to eat some fruit."

"Sour taste enters the liver, and sour has an astringent effect, which is not conducive to the dissipation of blood stasis." Chen Yang explained.

"Okay, I've written it down."

Bu Xuemei nodded and said to Ge Huaqun with a smile: "Director Ge, your hospital is really full of talented people. I didn't expect such a young doctor to be so good. Some directors of other hospitals couldn't explain my situation clearly."

"Director Bu, you are too kind. I can only say that everyone has his strengths and weaknesses."

Ge Huaqun smiled and said, "And Xiao Chen is not an ordinary young man. He is the future grandson-in-law of Mr. Wen."

Hearing Ge Huaqun's sudden words, Wen Manlu's cheeks turned red instantly, and Chen Yang was also stunned for a moment.

The main reason was the closeness between Wen Manlu and Chen Yang. Ge Huaqun saw it clearly. Two days ago, Wen Xiuping praised Chen Yang in front of Ge Huaqun, which made Ge Huaqun mistakenly believe that the Wen family had actually agreed to the relationship between Chen Yang and Wen Manlu.

"He is actually Mr. Wen's grandson-in-law?"

Bu Xuemei said in surprise: "No wonder he is so skilled at such a young age."

"Director Bu, this is Mr. Wen's granddaughter, Wen Manlu." Ge Huaqun introduced Bu Xuemei with a smile.

"Hello, Director Bu." Wen Manlu greeted him hurriedly.

"I've heard that Mr. Wen's granddaughter is beautiful and a flower in Kyoto. I don't know how many rich children in Kyoto are pursuing her. When I saw her today, she is indeed beautiful."

Bu Xuemei smiled and said, "Doctor Chen is also handsome. He and Xiaowen are a perfect match."

Zeng Yunhui subconsciously glanced at Chen Yang and thought to himself, is it so easy to say that they are meant to be together?

Although Chen Yang is good-looking, and to be more precise, a bit handsome, he and Wen Manlu cannot be said to be a perfect match.

At least Zeng Yunhui felt that he was more suitable than Chen Yang, but the problem was that Wen Manlu didn't like him.

Chen Yang smiled and said nothing.

I don't know if Ge Huaqun's words today will get out. If they get to the ears of the Wen family...

Chen Yang's mind was full of mixed thoughts. He was happy but also nervous. He hoped that the Wen family would know, but he was also afraid that they would know.

"Director Bu, this is the prescription."

Ge Huaqun printed out the prescription and handed it to Bu Xuemei: "Come back for a follow-up visit after you finish taking the medicine. Next time Director Bu comes, just contact Xiao Chen directly."

Ge Huaqun then said to Chen Yang: "Xiao Chen, leave your contact information for Director Bu."

Since he is Wen Xiuping's grandson-in-law, Ge Huaqun naturally has to take care of him. Moreover, Ge Huaqun also recognizes Chen Yang's level and thinks he is a very good young man.
