Chapter 119 (2/2)
He inspected carefully and spoke to the students around him.
”Have a look!”
Zheng Guoqing continued, pointing at the student on the ground, ”This student's body is hot but doesn't have much sweat. This is an obvious symptom of hot body with little sweat.”
As he spoke.
He felt the student's pulse.
”His pulse is light and thin as if a soft piece of paper floating on the water. When I press down slightly, it always disappears. This is the classic pulse moist.”
After feeling the pulse.
Zheng Guoqing reached out his arm and opened his mouth to check the coating on his tongue closely.
”The coating on his tongue is white and greasy.”
Then.
Zheng Guoqing gently asked the student who had already regained consciousness after being pinched the philtrum, ”Student, how do you feel? Any discomfort?”
”My head spins and hurts. My chest feels oppressed. I also feel a little bit nauseated and drained. And drowsy.”
The student struggled to answer.
”Hmm.”
Zheng Guoqing nodded slightly and continued, ”Hot body with little sweat, dizziness, headache, chest distress, nausea, fidgetiness, thirst, sleepiness, white coating on the tongue, and pulse moist. These are typical symptoms of heatstroke. But don't worry. These are mild symptoms.”
”Acute patients would feel extremely hot, very thirsty, dry lips and hot skin, anxious and disoriented. They might also get a cramp or a spasm...”
As he spoke.
Zheng Guoqing returned to his desk and took out a set of silver needles.
He went back to the student suffering sunstroke.
Zheng Guoqing took out one silver needle and pushed it into an acupoint. He said, ”To treat a patient suffering mild sunstroke, we mainly work along the Du meridian and insert fine needles at the Shouyang and Mingjing points.”
”The points we need here are Dazhui, Quchi, Hegu, and Neiguan.”
As he mentioned each acupoint.
Zheng Guoqing inserted one needle.
His technique was extremely accurate.
A few minutes later.
Zheng Guoqing packed the needles away.
The student who had fallen to the ground in a faint with no strength left in his body was able to get up on his own.
Recovered.
Zheng Guoqing said with a smile, ”Have some mung bean soup and take a rest.”
”Thank you, teacher. Mung bean soup won't be necessary.”
The student said sincerely but he didn't leave, insisting on staying in the queue.
He knew he would never make it if he left then.
No matter what, he had to stay in line even if he might pass out again.
As he refused to leave, those staff members quickly came with mung bean soup and a sunshade for him.
Seeing his quick recovery, those students present came around.
”Wow! This supervisor is amazing!”
”It only took him a few minutes to treat him!”
”I had sunstroke before and it took me a very long time to get to my feet. Teacher Zheng Guoqing is really good. Insert several needles and the patient is cured.”
”Acupuncture and moxibustion are this magical?”
Listening to the students marveling with admiration.
Zheng Guoqing had a gentle smile on his face as he returned. He said loudly, ”This is just an elementary use of acupuncture. Real experts can treat all sorts of diseases. Work harder and you will achieve something in acupuncture and moxibustion, able to heal the wounded and rescue the dying.”
After his words, the discussions became more enthusiastic.
”I have decided. I'm going to learn acupuncture!”
”Not boneset?”
”I have changed my mind. Acupuncture is so powerful and effective. Of course I'm going for acupuncture and moxibustion!”
”Me, too!”
”And me!”
For a while.
More emotional sighs came and many students came to Supervisor Zheng Guoqing's queue from other lines.
The lines for those 50 supervisors were more or less the same long.
After this.
Supervisor Zheng Guoqing's line was almost doubled at once.
Many students came with admiration in their eyes.
Seeing this.
Supervisor Zheng Guoqing smiled merrily in his seat.
What a lovely surprise!
But over there.
Other supervisors changed their face.
”This cunning fox... It's not nice for him to attract students like this.”
”Ahh. How could I not think of this move? It should have been me!”
”No! All my students are going to him. Who can I teach?”
They muttered to themselves secretly.
The supervisors rose and asked if any student in the line felt unwell.
After their question, there were students feeling ill.
Several students raised their hands.
The supervisors began to show off their specialties in front of the students.
Some of them.
Gave detailed explanations, covering pathology and causes.
The others acted quickly with the power of a thunderbolt.
They cured sick students in the twinkling of an eye.
Watching from afar.
The 50 supervisors were having a competition.
For a while.
The atmosphere at the sports ground was heated.
Students were still queuing but no longer bored.
The crowd exclaimed in astonishment across the sports ground.
Over here.
”Brilliant!”
Fang Qiu continued wandering around the sports ground. He watched carefully at their methods and techniques as he passed each supervisor.
It was a real eye-opener for him.
”Chinese Medicine is awesome!”
Remarked Fang Qiu with emotion.
