I Can Hear the Heart's Voice of Traditional Chinese Medicine-Chapter 314 - 139: Postoperative Renal Cancer with Bone Metastasis
Lunch time.
Lu Xuan and the two others went to the cafeteria.
After getting their meals, before Ji Xiuwen started eating, Lu Xuan directly asked, "Have you prepared the medicine for that teacher from this morning?"
"Are you talking about Teacher Zheng Hong?"
"I think so."
"Didn’t you give her acupuncture? Don’t you know her name?"
Ji Xiuwen looked up, puzzled.
Lu Xuan glared at him, "Who pays attention to someone’s name? Only you would."
"For the record, I wasn’t particularly noticing."
Ji Xiuwen explained, "I saw her name on the insurance card. Remember, she handed me her insurance card for registration."
Lu Xuan thought for a moment and realized it was true.
"But Lu Xuan, why does someone as young as her have paroxysmal tachycardia?" Ji Xiuwen asked curiously.
Hearing this, Lu Xuan couldn’t help but look up, "Didn’t I explain this morning?"
"Did you?"
"Did I not?"
Ji Xiuwen feigned ignorance, "I can’t remember clearly, maybe you did."
Lu Xuan exasperatedly said, "Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia is commonly seen in coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, anoxia, hypokalemia, pre-excitation syndrome, heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, various organic heart diseases with atrial enlargement, digitalis or other drug toxicity reactions, hyperthyroidism, or no apparent cause, sometimes induced by emotional stress, excessive fatigue, smoking, or drinking."
"That’s a Western medicine perspective, right?"
"I already talked about how traditional Chinese medicine views the causes of paroxysmal tachycardia this morning; it’s just that you didn’t remember. Go look it up, it’s in the medical books."
Ji Xiuwen was frustrated, "Okay then."
"I should have recorded it when you were talking this morning. Ah, still haven’t developed a good habit of recording conversations."
Lu Xuan rolled his eyes but didn’t say anything further. Ji Xiuwen needed to grow up and couldn’t rely on him for everything. He needed to look up medical books himself.
Moreover, all this information is in the medical books or old medical cases.
Some things, Lu Xuan felt he shouldn’t say too much about.
There’s a saying that goes, things obtained too easily are not cherished.
Ji Xiuwen is pretty much in that state now.
Lu Xuan felt sometimes he had to give this guy some space and let him understand that learning requires his own efforts.
After finishing their meal, on the way back to the clinic, Lu Xuan reminded, "I noticed Zheng Hong didn’t come in the afternoon either, make sure to notify her."
"I’ve already notified her. After the medicine was prepared, I sent her a message. She added me as a friend and said the medicine could be decocted. She will come to pick it up after her child gets out of school, around four o’clock."
"By the way, is Uncle Zhou’s medicine finished decocting?"
"Yes, I watched it decoct for over an hour. During that time, most of the Aconite’s toxicity should be gone. If it needs to be removed further, decocting it longer might not achieve it."
Lu Xuan nodded, "You’re dependable at work, but you still need to read more medical books. You don’t have to remember everything I’ve told you, but you should at least grasp the general concepts, right? Know where to find the information in the medical books, so even if you forget, you can quickly find the content to review.
Have you heard the saying?
’Read a book a hundred times and its meaning will appear to you!’ If you read these medical books enough, you’ll naturally understand things you didn’t before.
Just like the acupuncture techniques of Mountain Burning Fire and Heart-piercing Cold, there are slight differences in many medical books, but generally, they are similar to the Golden Needle Poem. By connecting these medical books, it’s easy to find the content we want.
Also, don’t forget to thoroughly read the Inner Canon. Not to mention other things, but if you can understand this book thoroughly, many diseases won’t be difficult for you.
You currently lack not only clinical experience but haven’t even remembered the basics.
If you can’t remember all the content in the medical books, you should choose one or two, or maybe two or three focus books, like the Inner Canon and Cold Pathogenic Disease. I won’t mention other medical books, but you should remember these at least, right? How else will you manage consultations on your own?
I’m even thinking, if what the director proposed really happens, I could let you consult patients independently. But with your current attitude, how can I entrust patients to you?
Forget about whether I trust you, even you wouldn’t feel assured, right?
Why is that?
You lack knowledge inside your head!"
Ji Xiuwen fell into silence.
He seemed to be pondering something.
He didn’t argue.
He knew Lu Xuan was right. Since arriving at the Health Center and finding out that the local doctor was his buddy Lu Xuan, his mindset had changed; he lost the drive he had at school.
Not speaking about anything else, back before he graduated, he most likely wouldn’t have gone to that gathering.
He liked joining in fun but only when he truly had no other commitments; when he had things to do, he was more serious than anyone else.
Thinking of this, Ji Xiuwen couldn’t help but lift his head and look at Lu Xuan’s back, who had already walked some distance. He suddenly realized that his familiar good friend hadn’t changed a bit.
He was as serious and stern as ever with everything.
Especially when it came to Chinese medicine.
Ji Xiuwen stood there thinking a lot: Lu Xuan achieved such accomplishments less than a year after graduating, simply because he had an extraordinary memory?
