Merchant and doctor

Chapter 1184 Seven Swords Piercing the Heart
It stinks, who would bother to observe their own feces?
However, for Chinese medicine, defecation and urination are related to the "gate of life". It is actually wrong to be indifferent to this in daily life at home.

It is said that many old Chinese medicine practitioners have the habit of taking a quick look at their daily urination and defecation. Once they find something wrong for three consecutive days, they will often make slight adjustments in diet, daily life, the five elements...all aspects. Otherwise, most old Chinese medicine practitioners live long lives!
Doctor Mu's stool is relatively rare, so Bian Mu specially asked Director Wang to convey his message.

Seeing that Director Wang seemed to be confused, Bian Mu patiently described the specific details again.

"Doctor Mu's bowel movements are quite peculiar. They are probably the same every day, whether it's dry or loose, the feces in the toilet bowl are most likely to present two completely opposite properties, or opposite shades of color, or opposite dryness or thinness, or other opposite states, half and half, a typical binary structure. The normal part is called yin, and the other half is called yang. Yin is good and positive is bad. This is similar to Western medical testing. Starting tomorrow, please pay special attention to it. If it's as I expected, he may be in big trouble. As for the discomfort in the arm muscles, it's just a minor problem." Slowly, Bian Mu tried his best to explain the so-called "yin and yang bowel movements" clearly.

After these words were spoken, Director Wang's expression became solemn again.

"Ah?! Can't it be..."

"Are you talking about cancer? No, Dr. Mu already has mild symptoms of mania. Mania is a term used in Traditional Chinese Medicine, and in Western medicine it can be roughly equated to mild schizophrenia." Although Bian Mu pointed out where Dr. Mu's big trouble lay, the expression on his face looked calm.

As soon as these words came out, it was like a bolt from the blue, and Director Wang was so frightened that his face turned pale.

What a surprise!
"No way... He... I've met his parents, they are as normal as can be. He also has a younger sister who seems to be a sophomore this year. She is studying mathematics at a famous university in Beiqi, one of the best universities in the country! Doctor Bian... you didn't misdiagnose them, did you?" Director Wang immediately tried his best to refute.

She has always admired the doctor and hoped that he would succeed her as the director of the hospital's ophthalmology department in the future, so that she would not be unable to find a enthusiastic colleague when she returned to her own hospital after retirement.

"The day after tomorrow, we call it 'Seven Arrows Piercing the Heart', Director Wang! I dare not talk nonsense about such an important matter. If it is really a misdiagnosis, how can I meet Professor Mi in the future! Right!"

"Ah?! Don't scare me! What does 'Seven Swords Piercing the Heart' mean? I've only heard of 'Seven Swordsmen Descending Tianshan'. Why are you making your story more and more mysterious?!" At this point in the discussion, Director Wang suddenly felt a strong resistance to Bian Mu. In her opinion, she would never believe that Dr. Mu had already shown signs of schizophrenia.

If Director Wang doesn’t completely refute Bian Mu, he might not be able to get through today!

"You should have heard that Chinese medicine has been divided into many schools since ancient times. According to the original text recorded in ancient books, it is clearly written as 'ten thousand arrows piercing the heart'. 'Ten thousand' means the wide range, variety and severity of the damage to the emotions and will, which is a general term! Although Dr. Mu relies on his youth, rich family and medical knowledge, he still has room for 'escape', 'turn', 'jump' and 'move' in his heart, so... from the perspective of pulse and heart, the degree is not too serious, but the lesion has already formed, which is indeed a serious disease. I can't take it lightly. I am afraid that you will worry too much, so I changed the word 'ten thousand' to 'seven'." Bian Mu explained with a smile. "Why this number?! Is there any special reason?" Director Wang asked curiously. According to her heart, she still didn't believe it at all.

Doctor Mu is normally normal. He has no expertise in mental health medicine. We all study medicine, so how could he not notice anything?
"In traditional Chinese medicine, there is the term 'joy, anger, worry, thought, sadness, fear, and shock' for diagnosing emotional disorders. You know this, they are called the 'seven emotions'. I call them the 'seven injuries'. There is also a school of thought in the industry that calls them the 'seven evil spirits' or the 'seven kills'. According to the traditional Chinese medicine theory I have mastered, the so-called 'seven emotions' naturally correspond to the 'seven pulses'. We discovered this very quickly when we started taking the pulse. To be cautious, I deliberately prolonged the time of repeated searches and verified it repeatedly. Finally, I was sure of it, but I was afraid that he would be scared, so I reported it to you privately." At this point, Bian Mu paused. He wanted to observe Director Wang's reaction.

"He still sounds a little weak, Doctor Bian! Although I know that you are an excellent doctor, but... he doesn't have any symptoms normally, and the relationship between him and his wife is very good, so..."

"Is that so... then... I conclude that Dr. Mu has seen a psychologist in another place, or even overseas. If I'm not mistaken, the diagnosis they gave him was written as having some degree of depression, which must be the conclusion made by a regular medical institution. Moreover, the exact degree of depression varies greatly from institution to institution. You should know that there are quite authoritative similar medical institutions in the city, Beiqi and Nanjin, and the diagnostic methods are becoming more and more scientific. If you think I'm exaggerating, you might as well make a secret investigation. Based on my impression of Dr. Mu... he is a very meticulous person, and he must have some reservations about the relevant diagnosis, and he probably won't tear it up quietly." Bian Mu guessed calmly.

"This... Although we have always had a very harmonious relationship, I can't rummage through his desk. Besides, he definitely wouldn't bring such things to the hospital, right? Then I can only go to his house. I have been to his house several times, but I can't do such a thing. This..." Director Wang felt very embarrassed.

"It doesn't matter! Doctor Mu must have chosen the best medical institution. At the very least, the second follow-up visit will definitely be at the most authoritative medical institution in the country. If you have acquaintances there... you don't need to look up the relevant cases, just check the time and frequency of his visits, and you will understand everything, right?" Bian Mu gave a few hints from one side.

After hearing this, Director Wang couldn't help but frowned and remained silent for a long time.

"I even suspect that Dr. Mu should have sought help from Mr. Nie Yixiong when he was out of town. The reason why he chose to go out of town was because he was afraid that his colleagues, relatives and friends would know the inside story. It would be difficult for him to live like this," Bian Mu continued to explain.

Since this concerns the future of an excellent ophthalmologist, Bian Mu should do his best to make things clear.

"I can have a say with Elder Nie... If Xiao Mu finds out about this... it won't be good, right?"

"That's up to you. I've basically said everything I need to say. In addition, I would like to add two points. First, he has schizophrenia, not depression. The medical evidence I have is almost enough. Once the fact of yin and yang stool is confirmed, a famous doctor like Mr. Nie will most likely come to a similar conclusion as I did. Also, have you heard of the saying that people are divided into 'primordial spirit' and 'conscious spirit'?" Seeing that Director Wang basically couldn't listen to his explanation, Bian Mu prepared to leave. Before leaving, he felt that he should explain the matter clearly from a professional perspective.

Upon hearing this, Director Wang shook his head in confusion, as if he was listening to a foreign language, indicating that he knew nothing about it.
