NBA: The best team doctor in history

Chapter 12: Help YAO unconditionally, do you want to be Yao Ming’s personal doctor?
"Oh, that's a little problem."

Seeing Jiang Ming's easy answer, Zhang Mingji felt mixed emotions.

He is really annoyed with the Rockets and the irresponsible Thomas Clanton, because Yao Ming is the star player and is followed up and treated by the chief team doctor, so there is no need for a little Kalami like Jiang Ming.

So such a good doctor only discovered it now?

When he found out, he was no longer the Rockets team doctor.

This is obviously the method of observation, smell, questioning and palpation used by the old Chinese orthopedic doctors in domestic Chinese hospitals. Of course, Yao went to see them when he was playing in the CBA, and the treatment results were quite good when he met some famous doctors.

The treatment given to YI also proved that he was using the traditional Chinese medicine bone-setting method, which made Zhang Mingji completely look at the young Chinese doctor in front of him with new eyes.

This must be a talented successor to traditional Chinese medicine!

He also did some research in the morning and found out that Jiang Ming was indeed a graduate student of the Imperial Capital University of Chinese Medicine and had interned for a year at Dongli, a well-known surgical hospital in the imperial capital. Although his major was not orthopedics or surgery, he was definitely a graduate of a professional hospital.

It is definitely not the unconventional methods used by those half-hearted practitioners in Chinatown massage parlors.

There are very few Chinese medicine clinics in the United States. Although there are several in Houston after YAO's arrival, they are obviously not run by veteran Chinese medicine practitioners. Zhang Mingji trusts Jiang Ming, a top student from the Imperial Capital University of Chinese Medicine, more.

The main reason is that they haven't been exposed to traditional Chinese medicine for several years, but as Chinese, he and Dayao have been exposed to the treatment methods of traditional Chinese medicine from their parents, relatives and friends since childhood. They believe in traditional Chinese medicine more than foreigners.

Who of their parents, grandparents doesn’t like to get some Chinese herbal medicine?

Drink Houttuynia cordata tea when you have a sore throat, and drink mint to relieve the heat. These are traditions passed down from the older generation.

Chinese medicine doctors can examine the whole body, and he wanted Jiang Ming to observe, smell, ask and feel the whole body.

It is so rare to have a good Chinese medicine doctor in this era.

Moreover, compared to Yi Jianlian, although Yao Ming does not have any major health problems now, he has a lot of minor problems. He has always been thinking about returning to China during the offseason to seek treatment from an old Chinese doctor, but there are national team games every offseason, and the Rockets always send a team doctor to accompany him. If he feels uncomfortable, he will be given an IV drip, and he will forget about it after he feels better.

It was not until Jiang Ming appeared that Zhang Mingji regretted it deeply. It turned out that the Chinese medicine doctor was right under his nose, but he had just discovered it when he found out that it was about to leave.

Although he didn't know what happened in the morning, he must have been fired by the self-righteous Rockets.

So he will definitely ask for the contact information later. If Jiang Ming really grows up to be an experienced Chinese medicine doctor in the future, it will definitely be more beneficial to the health of Yao Ming and everyone around him.

Seeing Zhang Mingji pondering something beside him, Jiang Ming said directly:
"Don't worry, it's nothing serious. It's still within 24 hours. Call him and ask him to continue to apply ice to his left knee, raise his left leg and lie on the bed, put a pillow under his right knee to prevent the right knee from compensating for the pressure, and avoid strenuous exercise before the next game."

He still helps Yao Ming unconditionally and must do his best, okay? He is a true family member. Without Yao Ming, he would not like watching NBA so much. He is the number one player in the history of Chinese men's basketball and he must help him even if he is no longer in the Rockets.

"Okay, I'll tell him right away. Do you want some Chinese medicine?"

Zhang Mingji quickly wrote it down.

"You want to prescribe a decoction? Okay, but I'm not sure about the quality of the herbs in the pharmacies here in Houston. I don't know if it can achieve the effect I want."

The situation in the United States is completely different from that in China. In China, Chinese medicine pharmacies are everywhere, but in the United States, it is very difficult to find one, and if you do find one, the medicine is very expensive. So Jiang Ming never thought of prescribing decoctions for Yao Ming, and there is no need for that at this level.

But since Zhang Mingji has spoken, there is absolutely no problem in maintaining it.

Zhang Mingji smiled and said:
"Doctor Jiang, you don't know this. The Chinese medicine that can be exported to the United States is definitely up to standard in terms of specifications and quality. It is definitely much higher than the quality in Chinese pharmacies. Don't worry about this. I have long discovered that the Chinese-made products bought here are better than those in our country."

"Okay, I understand what you mean."

Jiang Ming also realized that there is indeed a mixed bag in the country, with many drug dealers, chaotic channels, and a messy supervision. Sometimes the quality of traditional Chinese medicine depends entirely on the conscience of the hospital, and even the production lines may be different.

But I don't know if it's because they worship foreign things or the US Food and Drug Administration is also very aware of the high grade limits of Chinese medicine, the quality here seems to be indeed superior. "Then I'll write it for you now."

"Okay, I'll go buy a notebook, or you can just send me a direct message. Let's exchange contact information."

Zhang Mingji took the opportunity to ask for Jiang Ming's contact information, and of course bought a notebook and pen directly at the convenience store.

Jiang Ming wrote in handsome regular script and read:
"I directly prescribed a Chinese herbal decoction for knee pain and water accumulation. As Yao Ming is a professional athlete, it is common for him to have water accumulation in his knees, so I treated it at the same time."

"Thank you, thank you!!! That couldn't be better."

Zhang Mingji nodded repeatedly. Although Jiang Ming's handwriting was not the cursive script that the old Chinese doctors could not understand, the way his brush strokes flowed without any trace of ink really made him look like a master.

"60g of Astragalus, 20g of Angelica, 12g of Peach Kernel, 12g of Safflower, 30g of Millettia Spatholobi, 12g of Earthworm, 15g of Chuanduan, 10g of Eucommia, 20g of Rubia, 12g of Dahuo, 20g of Atractylodes, 20g of Papaya, 60g of Honeysuckle, 30g of Geranium, 20g of Parasitic Plant, 12g of Cyathula, 60g of Job's Tears, and 12g of Phellodendron.

This is the dosage for 7 days. Drink it twice a day, half an hour after a meal. If it works, continue to drink it for a month. If it doesn’t work, ask me to prescribe a new prescription.”

Jiang Ming handed the notebook to Zhang Mingji, and for some reason Zhang Mingji subconsciously put it in his briefcase as if it were a treasure:
"Okay!"

"Isn't it swollen today? You can make soup in the afternoon. It can effectively relieve knee pain and eliminate fluid accumulation.
I don’t know much about Yao Ming’s injuries, but this prescription has significant effects on treating knee arthritis and knee osteoarthritis, and it has no toxic side effects, so you can drink it with confidence.”

"Professional, Dr. Jiang!"

Only Zhang Mingji didn't understand. Any Chinese medicine practitioner would be shocked when seeing this prescription. This is a completely original folk remedy.

Conventional treatments for knee joint pain, removing dampness and cold include Coix Seed Decoction, Baihu Jia Guizhi Decoction, Shuanghe Decoction and Duhuo Jishe Decoction, etc. The medicinal ingredients in these prescriptions are almost the same and are also conventional combinations.

But Jiang Ming has made a lot of innovations.

There is no other prescription exactly like Jiang Ming's in any modern Chinese herbal decoction manual.

Although the doctor could tell that the medicines were used to relieve pain and remove dampness when he went to the Chinese medicine pharmacy to get them, he would never have guessed that this was an exclusive prescription Jiang Ming prescribed specifically for the knees of professional athletes.

Only Jiang Ming himself knew that this time he used a combination of Li Shizhen and Sun Simiao's prescriptions, and it was a great product, with a 99.99% therapeutic effect! !
"It's no big deal. The main thing is to reduce the time of high-intensity exercise. Yao has been on the court for too long."

Jiang Ming finally hinted to Zhang Mingji that if he continued like this, Yao Ming's knees would become increasingly unbearable.

"Hey, I know. So why do you want to leave? Yao and I will support you to gain a foothold in the team's medical team. I can even let Yao call on you to treat patients every day."

"People with different ideals may not work together. I will definitely not stay in the Rockets, but I will not leave the field of sports medicine."

Jiang Ming looked at the blue sky outside the window and smiled, "Now that we're here, how can it end so easily?"
If you want to leave, you have to beat Mo Gou and Thomas Clanton in the face first.

"Ah? Sure! That's perfect. Can we hire you as Yao's personal doctor? The salary is totally negotiable! It's very generous!"

When Zhang Mingji heard that Jiang Ming was going to stay in the NBA, he was stunned. Is this true?

He always thought that Jiang Ming would return to China to become a doctor after leaving his job, but he didn't expect that this guy was actually planning to continue working on it?

Isn't that an opportunity?

Others don’t understand Chinese medicine, but Yao’s team definitely understands and supports it!!!

Yao Ming is getting old now, and he just needs to find a personal physical therapist to follow him long-term!
He's a Chinese doctor, so it must be a perfect cooperation!
Just when he thought Jiang Ming would nod in agreement, Jiang Ming shook his head without hesitation:

"No, sorry."
