Chapter 245 - To Feel the Pulses with Both Hands?!! (1/2)
Chapter 245 To Feel the Pulses with Both Hands?!!
One day passed quickly.
For the whole day long, Fang Qiu saw fifty patients in succession.
Xu Miaolin, who had been observing all these in the clinic, stared at Fang Qiu all the time and planned to correct his mistake even if it was a tiny one.
But one day had passed, and Xu Miaolin actually had no chance to say a word.
Without any doubt, this meant that Fang Qiu's diagnoses of the fifty patients were all correct.
Here, Fang Qiu found that Xu Miaolin did not say anything all day after seeing the last patient, which made Fang Qiu very happy and more confident.
The next day, Fang Qiu continued to see patients by himself.
Xu Miaolin and Feng Xuexin were still watching him aside.
As the day ended, Fang Qiu still made all the diagnoses correctly, and he was more skilled than before while seeing patients.
On the third day, it was the same thing.
On the fourth day, as Fang Qiu became more and more skilled day by day, Xu Miaolin and Feng Xuexin simply got a tea table directly, looking at Fang Qiu see patients while drinking tea idly.
”Uncle Xu.”
Feng Xuexin took a look at Fang Qiu who was seeing patients while drinking the tea. Then he took a deep breath and said with emotion, ”Where did you get such an outstanding student? Did he come out of a rock?”
”Now, you should know it.”
Xu Miaolin laughed.
”Know what?”
Feng Xuexin was confused.
”Know the standard of being my apprentice, of course,” Xu Miaolin smirked and said, ”you can see from Fang Qiu that how high the standard of being my apprentice is and know why I have been unwilling to accept you.”
Feng Xuexin, ”...”
The next moment, he looked unconvinced and said, ”I admit that I am not as gifted as Fang Qiu, but I have a sincere heart to devote myself to the career of Chinese Medicine and to heal the wounded and rescue the dying!”
”Really?” Xu Miaolin asked with a smile.
”Of course it is.”
Feng Xuexin lifted his head, striking a pose of a young pioneer marching against the wind.
”Since you are so sincere, why did you still make a wrong diagnosis the other day and almost give the patient a wrong prescription?” Xu Miaolin smiled faintly and asked.
At the sound of this, Feng Xuexin, who just took a sip of tea, immediately choked.
He was almost unable to swallow the tea.
Even if he swallowed it, his face would flush red.
”Do you know how to talk to people?” Feng Xuexin patted his chest to calm down and looked at Xu Miaolin angrily, saying, ”when you swear at someone, don't disclose his shortcomings. OK? I can not even understand that when you said this, how could you smile so kindly?”
Xu Miaolin smiled faintly.
Here, after seeing patients for three days, Fang Qiu felt it all the more familiar and simple as if seeing patients had become a habit.
Although this habit made Fang Qiu feel very comfortable, it was also a little boring.
”Why must I feel the pulse for the patient with my right hand?”
While feeling the patient's pulse, Fang Qiu suddenly thought. ”Why can't I feel the pulse of the patient's left hand with my right hand? Normally, both hands have the same type of pulse, so why should I always feel the pulse with the same hand?”
Thinking of this, Fang Qiu suddenly became interested.
”Why not try it with both of my hands first?”
As Fang Qiu secretly murmured, he no longer hesitated.
He directly used both of his hands to feel the pulses on the patient's left and right hands.
As a result, he could not help frowning.
”Although the types of pulse of the left and right hands are the same normally, it is also possible that they are completely different. Except that the patient has a vascular disease possibly, this case may also be related to the difference between left and right hands.”
And at this time, Fang Qiu suddenly thought of something because he really felt two completely different types of pulse.
”Hmm?”
Fang Qiu felt the pulses while frowning in surprise.
In the meantime, Xu Miaolin and Feng Xuexin, who had been drinking tea and chatting, also noticed that Fang Qiu looked a bit odd, so the two of them were dumbfounded at the same time.
”What is Fang Qiu doing?”
”Uncle Xu, isn't Fang Qiu feeling the pulses with both hands?” asked Feng Xuexin in surprise.
”I've never heard of feeling the pulses with both hands.”
Xu Miaolin was also surprised.
”It is the tradition for doctors of Chinese Medicine to feel the pulse with only one hand. Since thousands of years ago, all the doctors of Chinese Medicine felt the pulse with only one hand. How is Fang Qiu feeling the pulses with his both hands?”
Here, Fang Qiu frowned.
”No,” Fang Qiu murmured while carefully feeling the pulse for the patient. ”According to the situation of the patient, both of his left and right pulses should be corresponding to the temperature of the four seasons, but now, only the right pulse is corresponding to it, and the left pulse is not. In this case...”
”It's a kidney disease!”
As Fang Qiu murmured, he nodded gently.
”Your kidneys have coldness inside. Lumbago is caused by external heat and internal cold. According to the pulses of your left and right hands, you have external heat. This is the kidney disease caused by lumbago.”
As Fang Qiu murmured, he immediately began to write a prescription.
A short while later, he finished writing the prescription as well as filling it.
At this time, Feng Xuexin suddenly moved closer.
”Did you feel the pulses with your both hands?” Feng Xuexin asked curiously while looking at Fang Qiu.
