Chapter 79 (2/2)
”The barefoot doctor doesn't need an exam?” Guo Xiang asked curiously.
Ji Changlin nodded, ”in fact, barefoot doctors are the product of a specific era. The medical conditions in the 1960s and 1970s were too poor, so they trained such a group of people.”
”In fact, many people have no medical foundation. Strictly speaking, they can't be regarded as doctors. It's just that the rural conditions are poor. It's better than nothing, but it will certainly be eliminated by the times in the future.”
But I have a special identity. The apprentice will know this later.
Guo Xiang nodded and thought that his previous life was Western medicine. It's better to use it, ”then I'll take the test of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine.”
Guo Xiang thought about it and said, ”although I lost my memory, I think I have studied western medicine before. Maybe I can remember it after reading a book and make good use of it.”
”OK!” Ji Changlin nodded.
A few days later, Ji Changlin asked people to bring test books, and brought a sphygmomanometer, a stethoscope and a simple surgical bag, which were used in western medicine.
Guo Xiang picked up the stethoscope with emotion. He didn't expect to use it again in this life.
”Your time is very tight. Go back to read more at night. I'll mainly teach you some practical things.” Ji Changlin said.
Ji Changlin began to teach Guo Xiang acupuncture. He should not only remember the meridians and acupoints of the whole body, but also remember the prescriptions and acupoints of various diseases.
Acupuncture and moxibustion are also the same as prescriptions of traditional Chinese medicine. There are monarchs, ministers and envoys, which is the main point, which is the auxiliary point, which needs to be injected first, and which needs to be kept. It's not like taking medicine, it's easy to make mistakes.
There was no problem for Guo Xiang to remember these. It was mainly the needle in his hand. He was not used to it at the beginning. He always felt that the needle was too thin and his hand was easy to slip.
Strength is not easy to master. It's too light when it's light, too heavy when it's heavy, and no one can practice it for herself. She has to tie herself up. She always makes herself blue and purple. Wang Guiying feels distressed when she looks at it.
Ji Changlin said it was normal, and they learned it at that time.
If there is a patient, Ji Changlin also tries to let Guo Xiang come to diagnose the pulse first, let her argue the symptoms, then prescribe the prescription, and re diagnose himself. If there is something wrong or insufficient, correct it in time, Guo Xiang's medical skills have improved by leaps and bounds.
It was late September, and the weather turned cold sooner or later. Wang Guiying worked overtime to knit Guo Xiang's sweater. Although the gray cardigan sweater and white buttons were very plain, they showed a special temperament on Guo Xiang.
White shirt inside and gray sweater outside, similar to the casual clothes of previous lives.
”Thank you, mother!” Guo Xiang is very happy to put on her sweater. It's a warm card. She hasn't worn it in her previous life.
In my previous life, my mother was very busy starting the company and had no time to knit sweaters. Moreover, there were too many good-looking famous brands at that time, and I didn't need to knit them myself.
Now put on the sweater woven by Wang Guiying, Guo Xiang has a different feeling in his heart.
”I'll knit another one for Zhennan. I'll take it to him next time you go to the northeast.” Wang Guiying said with a smile.
Guo Xiang sipped. ”I'm preparing for the TCM exam now. It's November after the exam.”
”It's OK in November. There are still two months before the new year. If Zhennan has time to come back with you for the new year.” Wang Guiying smiled.
”Oh!” Guo Xiang answered lightly and still had to face it.
A few days later, Ji Changlin told Guo Xiang that the qualification of traditional Chinese medicine doctor had come down and asked her to go to the county health administration bureau to get the admission certificate. Guo Xiang nodded. Just before, the clothes made in the tailor's shop should also be done. Go and get them by the way.
