Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 227 Growing Pains, Sixty Years of Facial Paralysis (Equal Subscription and Additional Updates)

Fangyan then wrote down in detail his understanding of the prescription and the patient's detailed treatment process and physical reactions.

Next, record the time, amount, and patient's physical feedback of each medication.

Even the dialect, the changes in color of his skin and the smell of his breath would be recorded, with the main focus being on detail and rigor.

When submitting this medical record, Fangyan hoped to make it as detailed as possible so that Mr. Cheng and others could use it right away and feel at ease.

This will save you from having to argue with others in the future.

At the end of writing, Fangyan even wanted to write down the folk medicinal recipes of pig's trotters stewed with aconite and mutton stewed with aconite in order to verify the safety of aconite.

Around four o'clock in the afternoon, an old lady with her child came to the store to see a doctor.

She seemed a little uncertain, so she stopped at the door and asked inside:

"Doctor, can you see me this afternoon?"

"Dialect?" Le Miao asked him.

Fangyan was writing something. When he heard the voice, he looked up and said:
"can."

Although the pulse-taking was more accurate in the morning, his pulse-taking ability has improved a lot now, so he can still diagnose patients.

Just like Meng Jimin’s hospital, they are also accepting patients in the afternoon.

Then the old lady came in happily with her child.

At this time, Fangyan noticed that half of the old lady's face was drooping, which was a symptom of long-term facial paralysis.

The old lady then asked her grandson to sit on the stool in front of Fangyan, and then said:
"My child wakes up in the morning complaining of leg pain, so much so that he can't get out of bed. This has been going on for two days."

"Come, let me take a look." Fang Yan took the child's hand and began to take his pulse.

At this time, Kong Yao at the counter asked the old lady:
"Grandma, is your grandson in school?"

"Yes, he is in the second grade this year." The old lady nodded.

Kong Yao asked again:
"How are your grades?"

Hearing this, the child immediately turned around and said to Kong Yao:

"I'm not pretending to be sick!"

Kong Yao said happily:

"Hahaha, I didn't say you were faking illness."

She had seen children not wanting to go to school and pretending to be sick at home just a few days after school started in September.

So when she heard the child's symptoms, she immediately thought of this situation.

The child said angrily:
"I have good grades! I won't pretend to be sick. If you don't believe me, you can go to school and ask the teacher!"

Kong Yao waved her hand:
"Good good..."

Just when the kid was about to jump off the bench to explain himself because of Kong Yao, Fang Yan asked:

"Are you having pain in your knees and front of your calves?"

The child was stunned, then nodded obediently:

"Ah."

Fangyan asked the child to open his mouth again and looked at his tongue. Finally, Fangyan said:

"He's not pretending to be sick. He's suffering from growing pains. This condition is most common between the ages of eight and twelve."

Kong Yao was also stunned. She didn't expect that she had misunderstood the little brother.

Fangyan said to the old lady:
"I'll prescribe some Chinese medicine and take it back for him to soak his feet."

Then he looked at the child again and said to him:
"Also, don't run around too crazy in school during the day. It's best to eat eggs and other things."

"It will probably get better in four or five days."

Hearing this, the child and the old lady nodded.

Fangyan quickly wrote out a prescription for foot bathing, and then asked Kong Yao to take it to negotiate the price and get the medicine.

Now Jia Dapeng is watching in the back hall, so Kong Yao is the only one who can do this.

"I'm sorry." Kong Yao apologized to the little brother.

The former waved his hands like a little adult, with an expression that said, "I don't care about you."

When the old lady went to give the money, Fang Yan couldn't help but ask her:
"Old comrade, how long have you had facial paralysis?"

The old lady turned her head and responded:

"Sixty years."

"..." As soon as these words came out, the whole room fell silent for a moment.

Fangyan was also a little surprised. It was the first time he heard facial paralysis lasting for such a long time.

Facial paralysis that has lasted for decades is considered the most difficult to treat in traditional Chinese medicine. The earlier facial paralysis is treated, the easier it is to cure.

She did this for such a long time that it was frightening, and everyone in the room was so confused that they didn't know what to say.

Seeing everyone's reaction, the old lady smiled and said:

"I am 65 years old this year. I suffered from facial paralysis when I was five years old. My family had no money, so I used eel blood to apply on my face and do some traditional Chinese medicine to fix it. Now the right side of my face has taken shape."

Fangyan suppressed his thoughts. He had just read Cheng Lao's acupuncture notes, which included a method called He's external treatment for facial paralysis, which he learned from an old acupuncturist in Kaifeng.

Fangyan just wanted to give it a try, so he said:

"How about I take a look at it for you?"

After hearing this, the old lady waved her hands:
"No, no, I'm already this old now. My family is used to seeing it, so I won't waste money on it."

Hearing this, her grandson refused to do it and immediately said:

"Grandma, why don't you let him take a look? I think he's pretty good."

Kong Yao on the side said to the little brother:
"Oh my, kid, you have good taste!"

The child snorted coldly at Kong Yao:
"Humph, he just pointed out where I was hurt right away. I think his skills should be good enough."

Kong Yao said happily:

"He is our miracle doctor."

Hearing this, the child said to the old lady:
"Then grandma, please let him take a look."

In the end, the old lady still shook her head:
"Oh, I'm already so old... I've seen it before, and several Chinese medicine doctors said that if it's over three months, facial paralysis will be hard to cure."

"I've been here for sixty years, why am I still struggling?"

The child immediately ran up to her, grabbed her hand and shook it:

"Look, look!"

The old lady was also happy about this act of coquetry and touched her grandson's head:

"Okay, okay, it's rare for a child to be so filial. Doctor, please help me, an old lady."

As she said this, she returned to the dialect diagnosis desk.

Let Fangyan diagnose her.

Fangyan began with the three tests of observation, auscultation, questioning and palpation.

The old lady had a greasy, white and slippery yellow tongue coating, a slippery and rapid pulse, and numbness and pain on her face.

Judging from the dialect, it should be a symptom of internal wind, cold, dampness and heat.

It just so happens that a similar case was recorded in Mr. Cheng’s acupuncture notes.

But not as long as the old lady’s sixty years.

So Fangyan said to the old lady:
"You can try treatment. It's not guaranteed to cure the problem, but at least it will allow your mouth and eyes to close normally."

When the old lady heard Fangyan's words, she was not disappointed. Instead, she felt that Fangyan's words were true.

She nodded:

"That's not bad, but I don't know how much it costs?"

The dialect said:

"Acupuncture is free, but Chinese medicine is charged according to the market price. The price of the treatment is probably about the same as your grandson's prescription."

Hearing this, the old lady thought about it and agreed:
"Then you can heal me."

Fangyan nodded and took the old lady to the back hall.

Then he took out a three-edged needle, asked the old lady to open her mouth, and quickly pierced her mouth three times above and below the bite line in that direction.

Soon, three streams of dark red blood appeared from the old lady's mouth.

The old lady didn't seem to feel any pain, but the paralyzed side of her face twitched a few times.

The old lady said:
"Hey, doctor, it seems to be working. My face is moving."

Fang Yan took a look, took out two acupuncture needles and said:

"Wait a minute, there are two more shots left. How much you can recover depends on these two shots."

PS: After writing this chapter, I still owe you 52,000.

No more today. Please come early tomorrow.

Regarding the plot about my younger brother and Huang Yuqiong, it seems that some brothers have strong opinions. I have taken their opinions into consideration and modified some parts of it, and will write about it as soon as possible later.

I'll go to Lao Feng Code tomorrow.
