Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 54 Left Body Sweat

In theory, this kind of difficult and complicated disease should be treated in a traditional Chinese medicine hospital.

But this person found Tong Ren Tang and even specifically asked to see me for treatment. It was almost obvious that someone was fanning the flames behind the scenes.

This is very problematic.

Fang Yan glanced at the old man, then turned his gaze to his children around him.

The visual diagnosis skill has been activated at this moment, and when looking at them, a lot of information naturally appears in my mind.

The daughter looked to be in her fifties, and her face looked about 70% similar to the old man. She was wearing work clothes from a locomotive factory. One could see holes in her clothes from the iron chips burned in the processing, and she also smelled faintly of engine oil and cutting fluid.

On the other hand, the son looked a little younger, probably in his forties, and had no similarities with the old woman in appearance. He was wearing a very clean Dacron suit. Judging from his glasses and fair skin, he should be doing mental work on weekdays. Fangyan sniffed and didn't smell anything on him. It seemed that he was different from his sister and had changed into a new set of clothes when he went out.

Seeing Fang Yan looking at him, he smiled at Fang Yan.

Then Fang Yan nodded and turned his gaze to the old man. The old man looked a little haggard, with some red bloodshot eyes and heavy dark circles. There was a strong smell of cigarettes in his voice and his clothes smelled of Chinese medicine. He must have been boiling the medicine himself for a long time. With the help of his smell diagnosis skills, Fang Yan could smell that this should be the recipe for Ginseng Yangrong Soup.

Ginseng Yangrong Decoction has the effects of invigorating Qi and blood, nourishing the heart and calming the mind. It is mostly used for the symptoms of deficiency of both heart, spleen and blood, to treat fatigue, forgetfulness, poor appetite, insomnia, dry skin, cough and shortness of breath, weight loss, dry throat and lips, or insufficient Qi and blood after sores, persistent chills and fever, sores that do not heal for a long time, and spontaneous sweating due to deficiency heat.

It seems that the previous doctor tried to treat it by replenishing Qi and blood, but it didn't work.

These were the information he obtained in just a few seconds.

Half body sweating is usually seen in the elderly. This symptom is recorded in Suwen. Qigong Tongtian Lun:

"Sweating on one side makes one side dry"

However, there are very few records of this in historical documents.

In my previous life, I rarely encountered dialects when I was working for several years.

But he had indeed encountered such a person. He remembered that it was when he went to the countryside, and the man happened to be over 70 years old.

Fangyan immediately asked the old Chinese doctor who was accompanying the team for help. He remembered very clearly that the old Chinese doctor taught him that sweating on half of the body was usually caused by deficiency of Qi and blood, cold and dampness, or disharmony between the Ying and Wei systems. It was a type of sweating disorder among difficult and complicated diseases.

In 2007, someone specially classified various rare and strange diseases among the people and wrote a book, and also wrote about Chinese medicine dialectics and treatment plans.

Fangyan also bought that book later, and saw various rare and difficult diseases in it. Some symptoms are very rare even in the Internet age. In the era when information was not well developed, doctors would probably not encounter two diseases in their lifetime.

Fangyan didn't expect that he would meet him today, and he was asked to come and see him.

Since he knew that the other party was most likely here to make things difficult for him, Fang Yan immediately perked up his alertness. Without any panic, he first motioned to the old man to open his mouth so that he could see his tongue.

The pale tongue with white coating appears to be a symptom of qi and blood deficiency and weak yang blood.

If this is the case, there should be no problem with the Ginseng Yangrong Decoction. As expected, the disease here is not simple. Maybe the old man has more than one symptom.

Fangyan remained calm and asked the old man to hand his hand to him. He began to take the pulse by placing his hand on the Cunguan point. The pulse was weak and thin, and the floating pulse was slow. This situation also indicated a lack of qi and blood.

However, Fangyan knew that this was probably just a superficial phenomenon. Since the previous person failed to cure the old man, it must be something more complicated.

Fangyan calmed down and felt the patient's pulse carefully. It took five or six minutes. However, unlike other patients, the old man and his children were not anxious at all. Instead, they looked calm and composed. After Fangyan felt his left hand and then his right hand, they were very cooperative.

After another five or six minutes, Fang Yan suddenly asked:
"By the way, I wonder where you heard that there is a young miracle doctor in Tong Ren Tang?"

Hearing this question, the old man and his daughter looked at their son at the same time. The latter was startled, then smiled and said, "Oh, I have a friend nearby. He came here to see a doctor and said there is a young doctor here who is very good at treating diseases, so we came here."

"I saw him today and he is indeed very young. I wonder if Doctor Fang has noticed anything?"

Fangyan asked:

"You know my last name is Fang?"

The other party's face froze:
"I know, my friend told me."

Fang Yan smiled, then suddenly stared at the man and asked:

"Is your friend's surname Gu?"

Being stared at by Fangyan, the man suddenly felt cold sweat on his back. He stammered and said:
"Um... no, my last name is... Zhou."

Fangyan nodded and continued to look at the old man.

The middle-aged man just breathed a sigh of relief, but Fang Yan looked at him again and said:

"I remember that there is no patient named Zhou in my medical records. Did you remember it wrongly?"

The man's face froze immediately, then he forced out an ugly smile and said to Fang Yan:
"Haha, Doctor Fang, you should just treat the patient. It doesn't matter who my friend is."

Fangyan nodded, and suddenly asked the old man:

"Old sir, this guy doesn't look like you at all. He shouldn't be your son, right?"

"Uh..." The old man's face froze and he unconsciously glanced at the man next to him.

Seeing this, Fangyan confirmed his guess in his heart.

He said to the old man:

"Don't be nervous, I'm just asking casually. By the way, what did the doctor say before? What prescription did he prescribe for you? Do you remember?"

Hearing that he had brought the issue back to the symptoms, the three people on the opposite side breathed a sigh of relief. The old man said:

"I don't remember the prescription, but he said that I was suffering from Qi and blood deficiency, which was why I was sweating on the left side. I drank several prescriptions, and it got a little better, but the problem of sweating on half of my body was still not solved."

"Although it hasn't affected my life, I'm still worried. I feel like dragging it out like this is not a solution."

Fang Yan nodded and said:
"Well, the person who prescribed you the Ginseng Yangrong Decoction before should have prescribed it. You do have some symptoms of Qi and blood deficiency, so you can continue to drink the prescription."

Hearing Fangyan's words, the middle-aged man was shocked and his pupils shrank unconsciously. This surprised him even more than the origin that Fangyan had just figured out.

He didn't know how Fangyan figured out the prescription he had written.

But now the old man said hurriedly:

"Yes, yes! There is indeed ginseng in the prescription. Little doctor, you are amazing. You can even guess that."

Fangyan took over and said:
"But this didn't solve your half-body sweating, which means that Qi and blood deficiency is not the source."
