Merchant and doctor

Chapter 1607 Just use iodine to treat it
The growth of a master of traditional Chinese medicine is comprehensive and three-dimensional, which is quite different from the growth of an excellent Western medicine doctor.

When facing special patients, Western medicine doctors often pay little attention to the "other side" of the patients and their families. Theoretically speaking, those things are not within the scope of Western medicine doctors' responsibilities, so there is naturally no need to pay too much attention to them.

A master of traditional Chinese medicine is different. He has to pay full attention to all aspects of the patient that are different from normal healthy people, and sometimes even...it has to involve immediate family members or other particularly important people around them!
This difference stems from the unique theoretical foundation of TCM and the basic medical philosophy of seeking radical cure. With people as the center, TCM doctors are responsible for the future health of every patient. Treating headaches with pain and feet with foot pain? That is not the style of a serious TCM master.

The old lady's foot injury was far more serious than everyone present had imagined. Seeing the old lady's haggard face, Bian Mu suddenly felt a surge of sympathy in his heart.

Half squatting on the ground, Bian Mu observed carefully for a while.

Whether standing or sitting, Dr. Ning and others waited silently by the side for Bian Mu to make the next arrangements.

At this moment, the cell phone in Bian Muyi's pocket rang.

Bian Mu stood up and answered the call.

"Do you have any plans for tonight?" Huang Boxi asked calmly on the other end of the phone.

"I don't have any plans. I went back to my residence to finish my thesis. I've been busy lately and my thoughts are a bit messy. It's hard to figure out the argument." On the other end of the phone, Bian Mu replied with a smile.

"Your generation! In some areas, they are indeed much better than us. In some areas... According to the previous tradition, even if you practice medicine for a lifetime, you may not be qualified to 'establish a theory'. Anyway, until today, I have not reached the level of establishing a theory. Times have changed. You can just search on the computer for a while and find a relatively novel angle to establish a theory. Recently, it has become even more advanced. You can just pay a little money and directly call out the AI ​​robot. It can answer questions and guide us through the paths that we may not be able to follow for decades! It is advanced! But... It takes ten years to grow a tree, and a hundred years to establish a theory. Tell me, how valuable are the things you write?!" Huang Boxi's words were rather subtle on the phone, but of course Bian Mu could hear that the old man was ironically saying that some professional papers were too watered down and worthless!

"You are right! I will pay attention to it. I have a patient at the moment. What do you want to talk to me about?"

"No big deal! If you don't have any plans tonight, just come over for a quick meal! Beef dumplings, it's night time! Just don't drink too much."

"Okay! I don't have to go back and cook again. I'll go here once I'm done. By the way, have you prepared any medicines like 'Stone Fossil Pills' recently? The kind that can dispel evil spirits."

"It seems there's still some left. I'll find it for you later, but... it's not much. Who wants it?"

"I just saw a patient today, she's in her sixties, she has an occupational disease, she's a woman!"

"Oh! That's okay. I'll make you some more if necessary, but...please explain to them clearly that this medicine in my house is very valuable!"

"I know, I know!"

"You go ahead and do your work. I'll wait for you!"

"I'll go here as soon as I get off work." After saying that, Bian Mu hung up the phone.

Turning around, Bian Mu half-knelt on the ground again and carefully observed the changes in the color and smell of the sulfamethoxazole potion.

"Everyone, please find a place to rest for a while. I'll take Auntie's pulse." As he spoke, Bian Mu comforted the old lady and took her pulse with his hand.

Doctor Ning stood up and brought a few cups of hot drinks to the family members to dispel the cold. It would be beneficial for anyone to drink it before or after the Waking of Insects. …

"Auntie! You don't save much money normally, do you?" Bian Mu suddenly asked.

The old lady was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"How many children are there around you?"

"Two! The eldest is a son, and the daughter is younger. The child is already in junior high school."

"You usually have the habit of subsidizing your two children, right?" Bian Mu asked with a smile.

"Alas! We didn't study hard when we were in school. Neither of us has any skills. The eldest works in Food Factory 6, and the second one cooks in the school cafeteria."

"I see... Your foot problem has lasted for at least seven or eight years. Haven't you ever thought of finding a decent hospital to treat it before?!" Bian Mu asked casually with a frown.

"Oh! I grew up in a poor family and didn't receive much education. There are some things... I can't figure them out clearly in my mind. I didn't have a good life since I was a child. I have many brothers and sisters, and my parents couldn't take care of me. Over time, I never learned to take my body seriously. I would just endure any discomfort and generally don't pay much attention to it. At first, it was just pain in my heel, but I never took it seriously and thought it was a bone problem. Who knew, I kept putting it off..." As she spoke, the old lady seemed to realize something, and a trace of self-pity and desolateness flashed across her eyes.

After noticing this scene, Bian Mu felt uncomfortable.

"Is that old man your partner?"

"Well! The bus driver has been driving stupidly for most of his life."

"Oh! You need a driver's license above Class A, right? Uncle, you are amazing, please say something! Usually, you are the one in charge at home, right?"

"People say that. Actually, our family is relatively democratic when it comes to things. It's just... I'm a little narrow-minded and not very tolerant. They usually give in to me, and over time, they end up misunderstanding me." Instinctively, the old lady made a few excuses naturally.

After smiling, Bian Mu didn't ask any more questions.

Afterwards, Bian Mu brought a small square stool, put on disposable PE gloves, sat at the old lady's feet, and took her Fuyang pulse with sulfaquinoxaline solution.

The blood vessels in the old lady's feet were severely blocked, and it was very difficult to feel the Fuyang pulse...

"No way! Even if it's grouper foot, it won't block the blood vessels like stones, right?! How does the old lady usually live in units of 10 years?!" Thinking of this, in order to supplement the relevant information, Bian Mu stood up and took off his gloves, and used the index and middle fingers of his left hand as the "pulse ruler" to check the Renying pulse on both sides of the old lady's neck again.

"Auntie! Your disease is not easy to cure. Today is a bit rushed, so I can only do a preliminary examination here. After you go home, everything should be normal and you can live your life as usual. When you leave later, I will give you a box of iodine solution. When you get home, soak your feet in a special clean small basin at 10 pm every day, no more than half an hour before and after. Then ask my uncle to pour the iodine tincture, and the top layer of solution should not cover the soles of your feet. If nothing else, soak your feet until pm. If you feel uncomfortable sitting in the middle, you can wear a pair of plastic slippers and move around, and then continue to soak your feet. Don't stop every day. Don't worry about other aspects for now. My uncle, please leave your contact information later, and call me the next day to let me know, or send me a text message, take a photo and send it to me, and report how you soaked the day before and how long you soaked. That's it, we will discuss other things later." Bian Mu patiently instructed for a long time.

The old lady nodded slightly with a calm expression. Although she was not well educated, she was quite sensitive. Seeing Bian Mu treating her like that, she guessed that her diseased foot might not be able to be saved.
