268 Doctor Qin explains what the other half is

Shen Jiaren asked doubtfully, "Half and half?"

Doctor Qin, "Yes, half and half. People are definitely different, and doctors are also different. It is impossible for two people to have exactly the same disease. Why is that?"

Because the physical state of a person is different in each stage, in simple terms, people also change with the four seasons of the year. Although the details of these changes are relatively subtle, they still need to be paid attention to. This is just an external factor, and it does not mention the internal situation of the person himself.

Therefore, no two people have exactly the same disease. Even if you have the same disease, you will be different when dealing with it.

As for doctors, it is the same. Last year's doctor and this year's doctor may be the same person, but her medical skills and the way she uses medicine will also change. So the doctor will also be different.

As for medicinal materials, they are grown naturally. In addition to the differences in authentic medicinal materials, there are also differences in the growing environment. The greater the difference in the growing environment, the greater the difference in the medicinal properties of the medicinal materials will be.

A better doctor will also increase or decrease the use of medicinal materials according to the medicinal properties of the herbs.

Isn't this still half and half?&34;

Shen Jiaren still didn't understand. If it was half and half, then what was the other half?

Doctor Qin didn't care whether Shen Jiaren answered or not, and continued, "The so-called other half is the pulse case."

When Shen Jiaren heard this answer, she looked at Doctor Qin in surprise, because she really didn't understand why the other half was the pulse case? And weren't they talking about the basics of medical practice? How could it be related to the pulse case?

When Doctor Qin saw Shen Jiaren's expression, he turned around, bent down, and began to turn over the herbs. While turning over, he said to Shen Jiaren, "Don't be surprised, and don't look at me in surprise. I'm talking about the pulse case."

Shen Jiaren couldn't help but ask, "Aren't we discussing the basics of medical practice? Why is the other half the pulse case?"

Doctor Qin didn't stop moving his hands and said, "Don't just talk, turn them over quickly. These herbs can be turned over."

Upon hearing this, Shen Jiaren quickly bent down and began to turn over and dry the medicinal herbs.

Doctor Qin saw Shen Jiaren's movements out of the corner of his eye and replied, "Since ancient times, the inheritance of Chinese medicine has always started with apprenticeship, from the basics of identifying herbs, to picking up medicines and memorizing prescriptions at the counter, and then to practicing medicine with simple observation, auscultation, and palpation."

The order may be slightly different due to family reasons, but basically everyone enters the industry by memorizing herbs, identifying herbs, memorizing prescriptions, and prescribing prescriptions.

The pulse case is the most important stage of memorizing prescriptions. Although you know the shape, medicinal properties, growing place, habits, etc. of the herbs when you are memorizing them, only in the process of memorizing the prescriptions, that is, the pulse case, can you feel more clearly why you use it in this way and why you use it in this way.

Although many people say, memorize the prescription, memorize the prescription, it has already been said that it is a prescription, so why do we have to talk about the pulse case?

The reason is very simple, that is, the pulse diagnosis must be made before the prescription can be made.

Some of our families who have been practicing medicine for generations have not only treasured prescriptions, but also more important pulse records. That is because doctors in ancient times would have a special consultation book to record the pulse condition, patient conditions, patient self-reports, etc., forming a pulse record, and then prescribing medicine based on the pulse record.

So why do apprentices have to go to the counter to dispense medicine according to the prescription instead of memorizing it directly? It is because when you dispense more and memorize more, you will have a certain amount of accumulation and will be able to treat patients more easily.

As for the family members, that is another matter. &34;

Shen Jiaren was still a little confused. What did this have to do with the carefulness of practicing medicine?
