Endometriosis, dysmenorrhea, there are many medicines that can be used.
But prescribing them must be based on accurate judgment of the pulse and tongue signs.
This touches on Lu Xuan's blind spot.
Headache, Lu Xuan subconsciously glanced at the Chinese medicine specimens, feeling somewhat speechless.
Usually they talked a lot, but when they were truly needed, they all turned mute.
Lu Xuan felt like swearing.
Fortunately, the group of experts who usually despised Lu Xuan greatly seemed to have heard his call and finally responded.
[I almost cried, it's not easy! Finally waiting for the second patient.]
[Brother White Atractylodes, why don't you tell us what's going on!]
[Then let me tell you.]
[I'll skip the symptoms, as the lady just mentioned, and everyone heard it; I'll talk about the pulse and tongue signs.]
Listening to the noise in his ears, not only didn't Lu Xuan feel annoyed, but he actually felt relieved. What he lacked now was the accurate judgment of these two aspects.
"How is it?"
"Is it... incurable?"
Cheng Gaowen bit her silver teeth and asked.
Lu Xuan pressed his hand to reassure her, "Sister Cheng, don't worry, let me finish judging before we conclude."
Although Cheng Gaowen felt there was little hope, she still did her best to cooperate with Lu Xuan.
Just then, a voice sounded again in Lu Xuan's ear:
[Judging this pulse is not difficult, as long as you can distinguish between wiry-fine and wiry-choppy pulses, you can basically prescribe medicine, not to mention there's tongue diagnosis as a supplement.
These two types of pulses are very similar in both amplitude and symptoms, with narrow pulse pressure and small fluctuations. But the choppy pulse is not only thin and small, but also shows irregular ups and downs; this lady's condition is clearly a choppy pulse, not a fine pulse.
In the human body, a choppy pulse indicates qi stagnation and blood stasis, with depleted essence and blood, often caused by internal blood stasis issues.
Moreover, the tongue diagnosis shows liver and spleen qi stagnation, qi and blood deficiency, and treatment should focus on regulating qi and removing stasis, strengthening the spleen, benefiting qi, nourishing blood, and regulating menstruation.
When channels are open there's no pain, when channels are blocked there's pain, with no stagnation in the body, qi moves to the limbs, liver is soothed and spleen is strengthened, kidney qi is strong, the disease will disappear, naturally not affecting conception.
As for the prescription, it should use raw Puhuang, Five Spirits Ointment, Liu Ji Nu and others to invigorate blood and eliminate stasis, relieve various abdominal pains; White Atractylodes, Astragalus, Codonopsis, and charred hawthorn to strengthen spleen and benefit qi...]
After a lengthy exposition, it drew exclamations from other Chinese medicines.
Including Lu Xuan, who was eavesdropping.
It's hard to imagine that White Atractylodes analyzed Cheng Gaowen's condition so thoroughly.
While shocked, Lu Xuan felt more overwhelmed with joy.
Getting the prescription was secondary; the key is that White Atractylodes' words were akin to a national expert teaching him personally on how to judge pulse and tongue signs and how to use medicine, which is invaluable.
Fortunately, Lu Xuan had a photographic memory; otherwise, receiving so much information all at once, it would be impossible to remember completely.
Seeing Lu Xuan had been silent for a long time, Cheng Gaowen couldn't help but withdraw her hand and asked calmly, "So, how is it?"
"Is there a way?"
Cheng Gaowen's inquiry pulled Lu Xuan back to reality, and after the incident with Nini, Lu Xuan had unprecedented confidence in White Atractylodes' judgment:
"Yes."
"I'll prescribe you a medicine, take it for a week, and contact me if there's any issue."
After he spoke, he turned to a new page in Cheng Gaowen's medical record book and started jotting down: "Raw Puhuang 15g, Five Spirits Ointment 12g, White Atractylodes 9g, charred hawthorn 9g, Liu Ji Nu 12g, Dragon's Blood 6g, bran-cooked Citrus Peel 6g, Motherwort 12g, Herba Agrimoniae 18g, Codonopsis 9g, Astragalus 9g."
After writing, he put down the pen, placed the medical record book aside, got up, and entered the pharmacy to prepare the medicine.
With nothing to do, Lu Xuan wandered around the pharmacy, familiarizing himself with the locations of various Chinese medicines, and within ten minutes, came out with seven doses of the medicine.
"This is a week's supply, Sister Cheng, try taking it at home. As long as there are no issues later, there's a high likelihood of curing your condition."
Even though it was a prescription by the esteemed White Atractylodes, Lu Xuan dared not say it would definitely work.
"Can it really be cured?"
Cheng Gaowen covered her mouth, as no doctor had ever spoken with such certainty before over the years.
Lu Xuan nodded, "Regulate it for two to three months, and there's a great hope of recovery, just don't lose confidence, Sister Cheng."
"To be honest, I haven't held much hope."
Cheng Gaowen didn't lie, but in the next moment, her tone shifted: "However, since you said so, Lu, I'll believe you this time and take the medicine for a few months."
"It will certainly get better."
Lu Xuan nodded without thinking.
Cheng Gaowen smiled brightly, "Then I'll take your word for it."
Taking the medicine, Cheng Gaowen headed straight to the first floor to pay the fees.
Cheng Gaowen herself was a doctor, and at the Health Center, the medical insurance coverage was relatively high, with a high reimbursement rate, so the out-of-pocket part for the seven doses was very little, less than forty.
"Dr. Cheng, are you...?"
Seeing the person handing over the medical insurance card was, in fact, the head of the pediatrics department, Cheng Gaowen, Yuan Na looked surprised.
Cheng Gaowen had no intention of hiding it, and admitted, "An old problem, getting Dr. Lu to have a look."
Yuan Na took the medical insurance card, inserted it into the machine for settlement, and chatted with Cheng Gaowen while she operated it: "I heard Dr. Lu has been learning medicine names since he was young, recognizing medicinal materials, reciting the Treatise on Cold Pathogenic and Warm Pathogenic Diseases, and he is also a top student at Zhijiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, maybe he really can help."
Yuan Na has been at the Health Center for a long time; since joining, she has worked at the registration window and is familiar with Cheng Gaowen's situation. She is about the same age as Cheng Gaowen, but her child is already in elementary school. Seeing that Cheng Gaowen still does not have a child, she feels sympathetic towards her.
Years of disappointment had led to Cheng Gaowen giving up on treatment, but now, due to Lu Xuan's presence, Cheng Gaowen regained her confidence, and Yuan Na genuinely felt happy for her.
"I think so too, but Dr. Lu never admits it, though it's not a bad thing."
Yuan Na chuckled, how could he not be?
If he were just a graduate of the Traditional Chinese Medicine University, would he have such abilities?
Not to mention Nini, even Cheng Gaowen, most traditional Chinese medicine doctors would retreat just hearing about her condition, let alone prescribe medicine.
But Lu Xuan dared to prescribe, and judging by Cheng Gaowen's emotions, it's clear Lu Xuan had given her considerable confidence.
Is this something a newly graduated student can do?
Even if Lu Xuan wasn't exceptionally gifted, he probably had an old Chinese medicine practitioner at home, giving him guidance since he was young.
This is something Yuan Na firmly believes.
Not just her, most other people at the Health Center think the same.
...
On the second floor.
The Traditional Chinese Medicine Department.
Lu Xuan grinned widely.
What is most important for a traditional Chinese medicine doctor?
It's not reciting medical texts backward, nor memorizing various prescriptions, or remembering the properties of every Chinese medicine.
These are all foundational; anyone who has studied Chinese medicine can do it if they are not lazy.
But one thing, not everyone can achieve.
The accumulation of clinical experience in Chinese medicine.
Why has Lu Xuan always wanted to go to a Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital?
The reason lies in this; even in the worst of hospitals, there would be one or two seasoned practitioners, or someone with incredible expertise in a particular field.
And these are what Lu Xuan needed.
Only by following such people can he encounter more patients, accumulate more experience, and integrate the knowledge he learned at the Traditional Chinese Medicine University.
The biggest problem for Lu Xuan since coming to the Health Center was the lack of someone who could guide him.
But now, he had it.
This group of experts undoubtedly could enrich his clinical experience in Chinese medicine.
Moreover, the most crucial thing is that he wasn't being guided by just one person, but a whole group.
This means that even if he stayed at the Health Center, his medical skills could still grow rapidly.
Of course, there is a premise.
Having enough patients to register under him.
