Great Chinese Doctor

Chapter 219

When a few people entered the room, they saw an old man in his 50s sitting in a wheelchair with a thick blanket on his legs. The indoor temperature was obviously 26-7 degrees, but he was still using such a thick blanket.

It can be seen how bad this man's health is. Moreover, judging from the color of his face and his appearance, this man has not much time left to live, only three to five years.

"Old Huang, this is the little genius doctor I invited for you. Don't be fooled by her young age. I have to tell you that her medical skills are... unmatched. At least for now, I haven't found anyone better than her."

Wu Yang praised Qin Qingye's medical skills and gave him a thumbs up, with genuine admiration in his eyes.

Even though Qin Qing was thick-skinned, she still blushed when someone praised her in person.

She coughed lightly and said modestly, "Mr. Huang, don't listen to what Uncle Wu says. My medical skills are just okay, but I can't be called a miracle doctor. You can just call me Xiao Qin."

"Hahahaha, Xiao Qin, don't be so modest. I know what kind of temper Old Wu has. He seldom praises people. I haven't heard him praise any youngster in all these years. You are the first one. This also shows that your medical skills are indeed good."

Mr. Huang said with a smile, "Besides, the detoxification pill I took was made by you, right? If Old Wu had come to my place to show off the medicine you gave me that day, I would have really died at home. I should have been grateful for your medicine!"

Qin Qing also waved his hands quickly and said embarrassedly, "This is not my credit. It is clearly your destiny. God is merciful and you have merits to support you. God will treat everyone fairly. Please relax."

"The little girl knows a lot, even this." Wu Yang looked at Qin Qingye with a little surprise, "If we talk about merits, you, a doctor who saves the world, should have more!"

"Otherwise, isn't being a doctor meant to save lives? Although I had to learn medicine when I was young, as I grew up and understood things, I realized that this profession can make me happy and give me a good life in the second half of my life. Although I don't know if it works, it's better to try than to do nothing. After all, I have to support my family."

"What you said is quite fresh. However, let me just say that we are all doing things, and good things are always better than bad things." Old Lei nodded in agreement.

"Um - Mr. Huang, why don't I tell you about your condition now?" Seeing that everyone started chatting, Qin Qing quickly brought the topic back on track.

Wu Yang said quickly, "Yes, yes, Xiao Qin, please go and see what's wrong with Old Huang. Can he be cured?"

Although Mr. Huang seemed not to care, his tense nerves showed that he still cared a lot.

Qin Qing also comforted him softly, "Don't worry, I looked at Mr. Huang's face when I came in. This disease can be cured, and it's not difficult. Your disease is called arthralgia or pain in Chinese medicine. The name in Western medicine seems to be... Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. Right!"

"If I'm diagnosing correctly, you have persistent, severe pain in your legs, often with a burning or tingling sensation. There is increased sensitivity in the affected area, and even the slightest touch or breeze may cause pain."

"Also swelling, discoloration (usually red or blue), and temperature changes in your limbs. Muscle stiffness and limited joint movement. And dryness of your skin and abnormal sweat gland function."

"Even the nail and hair growth are abnormal. Am I right?"

Huang Lao sighed, "No wonder Old Wu always praises you in front of me. You are even more powerful than I thought. You can tell my condition without even taking my pulse. Indeed, I do have the symptoms you mentioned."

"Your condition usually occurs after a limb injury, resulting in persistent pain and dysfunction. Then there are psychological factors, such as emotional stress or anxiety. Finally, genetic factors may also play a role in some cases. So..."

"So, our treatment plan needs to take all three of these aspects into consideration."

Qin Qing also continued, with confidence and professionalism in her tone, "First, we will regulate your body through traditional Chinese medicine, including internal and external application of Chinese medicine, as well as acupuncture and massage to relieve your pain and improve blood circulation. Secondly, it is about emotional issues."

"I know you are anxious about this disease, but since the disease can be cured, your anxiety will overload your body. I think you should relax and stop thinking about unnecessary things."

Qin Qing also smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, Mr. Huang, I will do my best. However, treatment requires a process, and we need patience and time. Now, let me take your pulse first, and then learn about your physical condition in detail to see if there is anything I missed."

Qin Qing also walked to Mr. Huang, gently took his pulse, closed his eyes and concentrated.

After a moment, she opened her eyes and said, "Mr. Huang, your pulse shows that you have a deficiency of both Qi and blood, and your meridians are blocked, which is indeed a manifestation of arthritis. Next, I will prescribe a Chinese medicine prescription for you and arrange acupuncture treatment. We will start with a week of treatment and see how it works."

"Please give me a piece of paper and a pen. I need to write a prescription."

Soon, the housekeeper brought paper and pen, and Qin Qing immediately wrote down the prescription, "30g Astragalus, 15g Angelica, 10g Chuanxiong, 10g Safflower, 10g Cinnamon Twig, 10g White Peony Root, 6g Licorice, 15g Achyranthes, 15g Eucommia, 10g Duhuo, 10g Stephania Tetrandrae..."

“Usage: decoct in water, one dose per day, take warm twice a day, morning and evening.”

Qin Qing also explained: "This prescription is mainly for replenishing qi and nourishing blood, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and dispelling wind and dampness. Astragalus and Angelicae Sinensis replenish qi and nourish blood, Chuanxiong and Carthamus tinctorius promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, Cinnamon Twig and White Peony Root harmonize the Ying and Wei, Licorice harmonizes the various herbs, Achyranthes Bidentatae and Eucommia ulmoides strengthen the tendons and bones, and Angelicae Pubescentis and Stephania tetrandra dispel wind and dampness. Mr. Huang, if you take this prescription and cooperate with acupuncture treatment, I believe you will get better."

Mr. Huang nodded in agreement, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes: "Okay, let's do as Dr. Qin says. I'll leave my old bones to you."

Wu Yang also breathed a sigh of relief. He had full confidence in Qin Qingye's medical skills and knew that Mr. Huang had found the right person this time.

Qin Qing also went on to say: "In addition to Chinese medicine and acupuncture, daily maintenance is also very important. I will ask the housekeeper to prepare some medicinal bath materials for you. Soaking in it every day will help blood circulation. In addition, proper massage and functional exercise are also necessary. I will teach the housekeeper some simple massage techniques to help you massage your legs every day to promote blood circulation."

"For the main arthritis, I will go to the pharmacy to buy medicine myself. Then I can refine the medicine and give you a medicinal bath. This two-pronged approach will naturally achieve twice the result with half the effort." Qin Qing also smiled. Her eyes were full of determination and confidence, which made people believe her words without a doubt.

After hearing this, Mr. Huang showed a grateful smile on his face: "Doctor Qin, you are so considerate and thoughtful. I am lucky to have a doctor like you take care of me."

Qin Qing also shook his head gently and said modestly: "Mr. Huang, you are too kind. As a doctor, these are what I should do. Don't worry, I will come to check on your condition in the next two days and adjust the treatment plan according to your recovery."
