Chapter 206 Feel the Pulse of Pregnancy in the Hospital!
In the next early morning, Fang Qiu came to the school gate at the appointed time and got on Xu Miaolin's car.
”Which hospital are we going to?” asked Fang Qiu on the car.
”Now I have been fired by the First Affiliated Hospital and Chen Yinsheng was obviously directed against me. It is obviously impossible to study in the First Affiliated Hospital.”
”Moreover, we have made such huge waves in the challenge thing. Chen Yinsheng must be furious.”
”Central Hospital.”
Xu Miaolin smiled slightly as if he had known Fang Qiu's worries and said, ”I have talked to the leaders of Central Hospital in advance. We can go there directly.”
”Are we going to the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology?” Fang Qiu asked a little awkwardly.
”Or what?”
Xu Miaolin gave him a look and said, ”You are not going to deliver a baby. What are you afraid of?”
”Er...”
Fang Qiu was speechless.
”You only need to feel pulses for every pregnant woman this time. Nothing else.”
Xu Miaolin advised.
”OK.”
Fang Qiu nodded.
The two of them came to the Center Hospital and went to the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology led by a physician.
It was right the office time.
There were many pregnant women who were queuing up for examination.
Because Xu Miaolin had talked to the leaders in advance, Fang Qiu and Xu Miaolin were arranged to sit at the clinic table which was temporarily set in the examination room.
The first pregnant woman came over.
”You are a doctor?”
Walking to the clinic table, the pregnant woman asked while handing the number to Fang Qiu and Xu Miaolin, ”I am here to do a four-dimensional color ultrasonic diagnostic. Are you collecting numbers here?”
Both of them were dumbfounded and then smiled at the same time.
”This is a special examination of Chinese Medicine launched by our hospital today.”
A physician of that hospital hurriedly walked forward to explain.
Hearing that, all the pregnant women who were lining up for the examination couldn't help frowning.
They had come for examinations for many times. This was their first time to hear of the examination of Chinese Medicine and was also their first time to see Fang Qiu and Xu Miaolin, so they were inevitably worried and were afraid that they had to pay some extra fees and so on.
”Don't worry. The two of them are both the awesome doctors of Chinese Medicine. They are here today for voluntary pulse diagnosis and they won't charge any money. If you are in need, you can ask them to feel pulses for you. If not, give your numbers of diagnosis to me and line up here.”
The physician explained hurriedly.
Hearing that it was free and they were both very awesome doctors of Chinese Medicine, the worries on the faces of the pregnant women immediately dispersed a lot.
”Anyway, I have to queue up. Can I hand in my number first and then let them feel my pulse?” asked a pregnant woman.
”Of course.”
Xu Miaolin nodded with a smile.
At the sound of this, the pregnant women all gathered around at once.
”Since it's a free examination, why should I refuse it?”
”Besides, they are doctors of Chinese Medicine who will just feel my pulse.”
Seeing the long line in front of the clinic table, Xu Miaolin smiled slightly. He turned to Fang Qiu and asked, ”After reading so many books, do you still remember what the pulse condition of a pregnant woman is?”
”It's the slippery pulse.”
Fang Qiu nodded and said, ”It is slippery while pressing it, smooth like a rolling ball.”
”Yes.”
Xu Miaolin nodded and said, ”Let's start.”
Just like the free clinic in the shantytown.
Xu Miaolin felt the pulse for the first pregnant woman first.
After a minute…
”All right.”
After feeling the pulse, Xu Miaolin looked at the pregnant woman with a smile and said, ”You are in good health and the baby is very healthy.”
”Great. Thank you, doctor.”
The pregnant woman was very happy.
”It's your turn.”
Xu Miaolin said to Fang Qiu.
When the first pregnant woman was about to withdraw her hand, Fang Qiu suddenly reached out his hand.
Seeing this, the pregnant woman did not say anything but let Fang Qiu continue to feel her pulse.
”So this is the pulse of pregnancy?”
Shortly after he started, Fang Qiu clearly felt that the pulse of the pregnant woman was indeed like a ball rolling, which was a typical slippery pulse.
”Doctor, how is it?”
Just when Fang Qiu was carefully feeling the pulse, the pregnant woman asked.
”Oh, very good.”
Fang Qiu came to himself and said with a smile, ”Don't worry.”
”Thank you. Thank you, doctor.”
The pregnant woman smiled happily and turned to leave.
Then there came a young couple in their twenties.
With the accompany of her husband, the pregnant woman walked over to the table and sat down.
”You first.”
Xu Miaolin said.
Fang Qiu also did not hesitate and started immediately.
Just now, he had clearly touched the slippery pulse and felt the pulse condition carefully. The next step was to accumulate experience and to feel the subtle differences in each pulse.
He reached out to feel the pulse.
Fang Qiu carefully felt for a while.
All of a sudden, his eyes lit up.
”Hmm?”
”If the pulse of the left hand is faster, it will be a boy. If the pulse of the right hand is faster, it will be a girl!”
A thought came to Fang Qiu's mind. He smiled mysteriously and said, ”Congratulations! Congratulations!”
Hearing that, the young couple was very happy. Then they looked at Fang Qiu and asked with concern, ”Doctor, how is it?”
”The baby is very healthy.”
Fang Qiu nodded his head with a smile and asked, ”But do you know if it's a boy or a girl?”
The reason why he asked it was that he had already known it.
He remembered that according to a medical book, ”if a doctor distinguishes the gender by the pulse, the pulses of a boy and a girl are the same. Only the cubit pulses are different. If it's a boy, the cubit pulse will be weak. If it's a girl, the cubit pulse will be strong. The pulse of the left hand is related to the spiritual changes and the pulse of the right hand is related to the physical changes. If the pulse of the left hand is bigger, it will a boy. If the pulse of the right hand is bigger, it will a girl.”
While feeling the pulse, Fang Qiu clearly diagnosed that the woman was pregnant with a boy.
However, there was a rule in the modern hospitals that a fetus's gender should not be disclosed easily to prevent some traditional families from giving up their babies' lives due to son preference.
Therefore, Fang Qiu did not say it out at first. He asked the couple instead.
”I have been pregnant with this baby for more than five months. Whenever we came to do an examination, the doctor has never told us.”
The pregnant woman said.
”Doctor, what about telling us? It is said that doctors of Chinese Medicine can feel whether it's a boy or a girl.”
