Chapter 4172 【261】Don’t Let Go of Mistakes
Otherwise, how could I have started to let Student Xie take action on the phone?
The boss believes that sometimes being present in person may make students feel intimidated and lack courage. What they want to do depends on the teacher’s eyes and actions.
Besides, Dr. Xie Wanying is not a student, but a talented practicing doctor. Dr. Wen Zihan knows this very well.
Talking about tools, there was no acupuncture needle, so Dr. Xie Wanying took out the medical cotton swab that she always kept in her pocket.
Old doctors don’t use cotton swabs, they just use their fingers to test the acupoints.
The contact area of your fingers is too large compared to the cotton swab.
Acupuncture needles know from the history of their own development that they are sharp and hard, and the contact area with the human body cannot be large, so they can produce precise stimulation.
Human fingers have this defect when making tools.
If an experienced doctor can do it, it must be because he has accumulated rich clinical experience and has a good feel.
It is not convenient for novices to do this, but novices will still test it with their fingers first.
As Dr. Xie Wanying said before, first determine whether the acupuncture point is an area. It is okay to test an area with your fingers and gain feel by the way.
How to measure another function of cotton swab.
When locating acupuncture points in traditional Chinese medicine, it is written in many books that the length should be measured with fingers. Instead of using the doctor's fingers, the patient's own fingers should be used as the unit of measurement.
There are some parts of the human body that are inconvenient to measure using the patient's own fingers. The old doctors use the visual method and rely on reliable clinical experience.
Some novices like to compare with their own fingers. In fact, they cannot control the movement of their fingers during the spatial movement, which will affect the results.
If you have watched previous acupuncture teaching videos, you will see the steel rulers used by some veteran acupuncture doctors to study and measure acupuncture points.
Therefore, when reading ancient Chinese medicine books, you should not read them rotely, but focus on increasingly advanced modern technologies to allow them to blossom and bear fruit.
Dr. Xie Wanying's mind is very flexible. Recalling the scene of watching people operate before rebirth and Sister Wen's words, she acted immediately and neatly measured the width of the patient's fingers on both sides with a cotton swab.
Cao Zhao blinked hard while watching: Well, my sister-in-law is better at playing than him. Why didn't he first think of the two sides of the human body that are a little asymmetrical? Wrong.
The ability to draw parallels and draw parallels in the medical circle is naturally based on a very solid medical foundation.
Mr. Xie is Mr. Xie, and he will never let go of any slight mistakes in medicine.
Don't move until the test is over.
Why? Because there are many ways to determine acupuncture points in traditional Chinese medicine, the measurement of the width of the patient's fingers belongs to the finger-to-body method of acupoint positioning.
The measurement of one inch can be the distance between the two ends of the horizontal stripes on the inner side of the finger when the middle section of the patient's middle finger is flexed. It is convenient for picking acupuncture points on the patient's back and limbs.
If the width of the patient's thumb knuckle is used as 1 inch, it can also be used to select acupoints on the limbs.
In addition to one inch, ask the patient's four fingers except the thumb to be together. Using the horizontal crease of the middle finger as the horizontal standard, measure the width of the index finger and middle finger together to be 1.5 inches.
Two inches is when the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger are put together, and the horizontal stripe of the first section of the middle finger is used as the horizontal standard to measure the width of the three fingers.
Three inches is measured across the top four fingers.
Other methods of selecting acupuncture points are like Western medicine, which directly uses anatomical landmarks on the human body surface to locate them.
There are also some simple, convenient and special acupoint selection methods that both ordinary people and novice doctors like to use. For example, Fengshi point is the point where the patient stands upright and the five fingers of both hands naturally come together and droop, and the tip of the middle finger sticks to the outside of the thigh.
