Practicing business and practicing medicine

In Bian Mu’s impression, postpartum depression usually occurs in small families, who are not very wealthy and have average economic income. They are more or less burdened with foreign debts such as housing loans, car loans, online loans, etc. A large number of clinical studies have proved that, This disease usually occurs in small families whose income level remains below the middle level.

Not only that, the higher the education level of a first-time mother, the more likely this disease will occur.

The female patient Dr. Shang mentioned seemed to be just the opposite.

"From what you're saying, their family's income is quite good?"

"Much better than us! Her mother's family is quite rich. Her father runs a factory and has been in business for decades, with assets worth tens of millions. Her mother is the principal of a middle school in the city and is quite strong. Which school do I know specifically? I don’t know. She studied finance, and she didn’t go to college. Before she went on maternity leave, she worked in a bank. She had a pretty good position. She was not an ordinary teller sitting at the counter. "

"Oh! Have you been to her home? I mean the home where the couple lives."

"I go often, but from time to time, I have to give her an injection, right?" Dr. Shang replied casually.

"Then... have you ever seen reading materials like "Dream of Red Mansions" at her house?"

"I'm sorry, I really didn't pay attention. I usually get acupuncture in her living room, study, bedroom, etc. It's not convenient for me to run around."

"That's true, haha... What hobbies does she usually have?" Bian Mu asked with a smile.

"Hobby? Swimming, playing ball, outdoor travel... She likes rock climbing, and her level is not low, almost close to a professional level. My wife also likes rock climbing, and she takes care of her."

"Do you think she has an extroverted personality? Or..." Bian Mu asked.

"How should I put it? She's more of an extrovert. By the way, her IQ is quite high, at least higher than the two of us."

"That's it... Then I really have to take a good look at the medical records." Having said this, Bian Mu picked up the medical records on the table and studied them carefully...

Seeing this scene, Dr. Shang finally breathed a sigh of relief. He picked up the tea cup and thought about taking a few more sips. Unexpectedly, the cup was empty. He had already drank all the tea. He was embarrassed to make tea for himself and sat on the back of his chair. Leaning back, Dr. Shang took a long breath, feeling much more relaxed.

…

"Looking at your idea, I treated it as a syndrome first, and then followed the method of treating 'poor emotions and stagnation of liver qi' for a while, alternating acupuncture and decoction, right?" After looking at Dr. Shang through the medical record, Bian Mu guessed with a smile.

"I can't hide anything from you, right! This is the treatment plan I designed to make you laugh!"

"Where, where! I have a similar idea. The main prescription you prescribe... Angelica sinensis... Salvia miltiorrhiza nourishes the blood, cinnamon twigs unblock the meridians... Cyperus australis soothes the liver, relieves stagnation, and opens the heart and orifices... Atractylodes macrocephala strengthens the spleen... Peach kernel activates blood circulation and removes blood stasis... Prince's ginseng nourishes the middle part of the body, so... may I ask, what is your master prescription?"

"Sometimes it's Angelica sinensis, sometimes it's Cyperus rotundus." Dr. Shang answered very simply.

"Really? Haha... Why are Salvia miltiorrhiza and Radix Pseudostellariae used together? Isn't her family well off? By the way, I forgot to ask, what is her husband's job?"

"The chairman of a publishing house, a large publishing and distribution company, seems to have also founded a film and television entertainment development company. I am not sure about the specific situation."

"Then... you haven't heard anything about her husband's job promotion, financial debts, etc., right?" Bian Mu asked casually while trying to figure out the prescription prescribed by Dr. Shang.

"This... we usually don't ask about that kind of things. I can't compare with you. Taking care of my small clinic will tire me to death. You don't sell medicine here. Not only do I sell medicine but I also have to represent patients. I didn’t dare to hire too many people to cook medicine, so I hired a retired pharmacist. I kept shouting about giving her a salary increase, so... I really didn’t have the heart to pay attention to their family’s affairs..."

"It doesn't matter! I'm just asking casually. Also...how tall is the female patient?"

"Height?! Let me think about it. My wife is 1.68 meters tall. She is only about 1.59 meters tall at most. She is definitely not 1.6 meters tall."

"That's it! There is a situation that I need to check with you in detail. Did she have good eyesight before? However, due to the postpartum emergency, her eyesight is getting worse day by day. Sometimes, her eyes can't even focus properly. Do you have this symptom? "

"Ah?! Vision loss? She didn't mention this...I never thought of asking her...Is this important? Otherwise...I'll call my lover right away?"

"Don't rush to make a phone call. You noted words like amber, cinnabar, magnet... on the medical record. Can it be understood that... do you plan to return to the old idea of ​​​​traditional Chinese medicine to calm the mind and calm the body? Or the original one? "Fang Zi, but...jun, minister, envoy, are you ready to make a major adjustment?" Bian Mu asked with a smile.

"Yes, I'm just a little unsure. I'm worried that I'll delay her again. Her family's activities are quite energetic, and Nie Yixiong's threshold may not be enough. Meng Shulan's place shouldn't be a big problem. If this medical plan doesn't work again. , I decided to recommend her to Dr. Meng. After thinking about it, I decided to come and ask you for advice. After your advice, I no longer have to live the kind of anxious life all day long. To be honest, it’s a bit too much. !" Speaking of Meng Shulan, Dr. Shang, who spoke very politely, did not add the word "teacher" at the end, which made Bian Mu secretly wonder for a few seconds.

A thought flashed across his mind, and Bian Mu felt that Dr. Shang in front of him might have some prejudice against Meng Shulan.

"Haha... think about it! The diseases we can't cure will always be much greater than what we are good at, and it's the same with Mr. Nie! At least that's what I think. After all, I never see the patient in person, so Well, in the end everyone knows, I advise you, don’t change prescriptions for the time being, it’s best to stop acupuncture treatment for a while. Anyway, you are already here. If it is convenient, call your lover and ask her to help us find out. There was a big difference in the female patient’s vision between pre and postpartum period.”

"Okay! I'll contact her right now!" After saying that, Dr. Shang stood up and turned his back to Bian Mu to call his wife.

…

Dr. Shang hung up the phone, turned around excitedly and said, "You're right! She used to have very good eyesight and could be called an athlete. She just gave birth to a baby and slowly found that her vision was a little blurry. She thought it might be... Her daily routine was messed up and she had some autonomic nervous system disorder, so she didn’t mention it to anyone. Recently, her eyesight has declined quite a bit. She always thought it was due to being bored and watching short videos... Just now my wife was like this When I asked, it was almost exactly the same as you expected, then..."

"That's it! Then why don't you go to her house after get off work for a follow-up check-up? It's best for your lover to go too, so it's easier for us to talk to each other."

"Okay, I seem to understand a little bit...Thank you, thank you!"

"It's just a matter of sitting and talking, but I didn't say anything!"

"I know, I know! Thank you again! I won't bother you any more. Goodbye!" After that, Dr. Shang hurried out and went back to his clinic to do some work.

Bian Mu looked at the time and it was almost time to prepare for the consultation. He got up and was about to go to the drinking area to fill up some water and add some tea when his cell phone rang.

The phone number of the landlord, Mrs. Lin.

On the phone, Mrs. Lin invited Bian Mu to attend her daughter's birthday party.

have to! Whatever you are afraid of, it will come again!
