155: Taking risks and seeking stability

Ding.

[Host detected speaking bluntly to the patient, revealing the patient's hidden illness, greatly helping the patient. Mission complete.]

[Congratulations to the Host for receiving the reward: Buyuan Jieyu Tang.]

Buyuan Jieyu Tang?

As soon as Qin Jiang saw this name, he immediately knew what it meant.

It seemed that the next patient to be treated was probably suffering from depression.

However, depression is actually best treated with psychological intervention, and herbal medicine can only serve as an auxiliary.

Qin Jiang stood up and went to the pharmacy to prepare medicine for Yuan Yan.

After a short while, Qin Jiang came out holding a can of black pills.

"These are Jin Gui Shen Qi Wan, for invigorating qi and tonifying the kidneys."

"Take one of these pills every day, no more. And usually, you should exercise more, go to bed early and wake up early, and don't watch those overly stimulating videos."

"Humans are the animals least able to resist temptation; don't overestimate your self-control."

Yuan Yan nodded, indicating that she understood.

Cui Guang asked from the side, "Dr. Qin, what about me? What do I need to take?"

Cui Guang was very anxious.

Because he felt that his own body also had significant problems.

As a former school basketball player, he now panted just climbing stairs. Wasn't that a serious problem?

Qin Jiang smiled and said, "This medicine is for both of you. You each just need to take one pill a day."

"Remember what I said: try to control your desires. At least for the next six months, you shouldn't have too much intimate contact."

Upon hearing that they couldn't have intimate contact for at least six months, Yuan Yan's face immediately showed a pained expression.

She found such a thing impossible just thinking about it, let alone doing it.

Qin Jiang naturally noticed Yuan Yan's abnormality.

However, he didn't expose her but instead had Yuan Yan sit properly, then took out silver needles to perform Acupuncture on her.

Acupuncture is a very intricate art.

Different Chinese medicine traditions have different Acupuncture points, sequences, and depths.

This is like herbal prescriptions.

Even prescriptions with the same name will have some herbs appropriately added or removed based on the patient's condition.

This is what Chinese medicine has always emphasized: a thousand people, a thousand prescriptions.

It is very reasonable and very scientific.

After all, although everyone might suffer from the same illness, the pathogenic factors are different, the living environments are different, and even their constitutions are different.

Therefore, a thousand people, a thousand prescriptions is actually very necessary.

The problem is that this treatment method of Chinese medicine is too cumbersome, too slow, and inefficient.

A thousand people, a thousand prescriptions?

How many Old Chinese Medicine Doctors are there in a Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic? How many patients can you see?

Moreover, each Old Chinese Medicine Doctor's school of thought and inheritance are different, and the prescriptions they write might also be different.

But Western Medicine is different.

Western Medicine has a set of standardized treatment plans.

If you have a certain illness, they prescribe a certain medicine.

Unless you have underlying conditions or are prone to complications, Western Medicine treatment is always simple, direct, and highly efficient.

Consultation, diagnosis, getting medicine, paying fees.

As long as there's no queue, this whole process can be completed within an hour.

Seeing Dr. Qin about to perform Acupuncture on Yuan Yan, Zou Moli stood by, diligently observing and learning.

She was a general practitioner, with some knowledge of Chinese medicine.

Before she came, she had heard people say that Dr. Qin's medical skills were very profound, and she wanted to see for herself if Dr. Qin was as amazing as the rumors claimed.

The first three needles were standard; Dr. Qin didn't use any special techniques, and the points he pricked were very common.

But the next few needles made Zou Moli's expression change.

Acupuncture points, like Chinese herbs, have a concept of being 'risky' or 'not risky'.

Many Chinese herbs are toxic; if the dosage is incorrect or exceeded, it can be fatal.

However, even so, there are many Old Chinese Medicine Doctors who like to take risks, using such potent medicines to treat patients.

The prescriptions they write are ones that most Old Chinese Medicine Doctors would not dare to write.

Because they are afraid of killing people.

Similarly, among the many Acupuncture points on the human body, there are ordinary points and important points.

These points are generally referred to as 'major points' or 'death points'.

For example, the Baihui point on the top of the head, the Taiyang point, the Fengchi point, and the Danzhong point, etc.

These points can also be pricked with needles, but whether a problem will arise after this needle is pricked depends on the doctor's skill level.

Some doctors can cure diseases by pricking them, while some less skilled doctors might cause the patient to vomit blood, which is minor; they could even directly kill the person!

Dr. Qin was currently pricking these most important Acupuncture points.

It wasn't that Dr. Qin had nothing better to do, but rather that these major points could mobilize more vital energy, helping Yuan Yan recover faster and better.

After a few needles, Yuan Yan only felt a warm sensation throughout her body.

A warm current emanated from her chest, then rushed straight to her forehead.

Yuan Yan only felt as if someone was massaging her head; it was tingly and numb, very comfortable.

"Alright, remember to take your medicine on time when you go back."

This tingling and numbing sensation lasted for more than ten minutes before Dr. Qin finally removed the silver needles from Yuan Yan's body.

Yuan Yan felt much better.

Before, her mind would always involuntarily think about all sorts of messy things, but now she seemed to have a diminished desire for those things, and even if she occasionally thought of them, she didn't seem as interested.

This was a very mysterious feeling.

If she hadn't experienced it herself, she wouldn't have believed that Acupuncture alone could achieve this.

Knowing that Dr. Qin was capable, and for the sake of her own health, Yuan Yan quickly stood up and thanked Dr. Qin.

"Thank you, Dr. Qin. Don't worry, I will definitely listen to you when I go back and will never think about those messy things again."

After saying this, Yuan Yan left with Cui Guang.

Cui Guang looked back at Dr. Qin every few steps, and from his gaze, it seemed he also wanted Dr. Qin to give him a few needles.

Seeing that Dr. Qin remained calm throughout, Zou Moli couldn't help but ask, "Dr. Qin, aren't you worried about problems arising from your needling?"

"You know, the points you just pricked were all 'death points' on the human body."

Dr. Qin glanced at Zou Moli and said indifferently, "The term 'death point' is what an insider says for an outsider to hear."

"The reason it's said to be so serious is because these points are indeed quite important and very fragile for our human body."

"But as a doctor, I don't think the term 'death point' is appropriate; it makes it seem like these points can't be touched at all."

"Calling them 'major points' would be more fitting, don't you think?"

Dr. Qin's words seemed not to answer Zou Moli, but they actually provided the best answer.

As a doctor, if he didn't even have this much confidence, how could he dare to easily needle a patient?

Just then, a boy wearing a sports jacket, with his hands in his pockets, walked quickly in from outside.
