Chapter 40 Fire Moxibustion
Although he is approaching an advanced age, Qi Shangqi is not conservative at all in terms of medical concepts and clinical practices. He has been trying, exploring, and summarizing experience with new acupuncture technologies such as electroacupuncture, electromagnetic acupuncture, and audio pulse acupuncture... , as long as it can ensure the safety of patients and be effective, he has always been open to anyone and devoted himself to research.
In the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of the Provincial People's Hospital, whenever they encounter symptomatic patients, Qi Shangqi and his students occasionally use new electromagnetic acupuncture technology to seek better therapeutic effects.
The so-called "Golden Needle Crossing the Sea" is a relatively new acupuncture technology that combines mature traditional acupuncture programs with modern electromagnetic acupuncture technology to complement each other's advantages.
"Golden Needle Crosses the Sea" acupuncture requires doctors who apply acupuncture to have relatively comprehensive and superb acupuncture skills. Traditional acupuncture masters may not understand electromagnetic acupuncture technology. Doctors who are proficient in electromagnetic acupuncture technology are often young, and most of the basic skills of traditional acupuncture are lacking. The performance is mediocre. As a result, there are only a handful of doctors in the traditional Chinese medicine field who are truly proficient in the "golden needle crossing the sea" acupuncture technique.
Qi Shangqi tried this extremely advanced acupuncture technique several times among his relatives, but unfortunately, they all failed in the end. In desperation, Qi Shangpo had no choice but to give up temporarily.
To this day, Qi Shangqi has not been able to successfully cure a single patient using the "Golden Needle Crossing the Sea" acupuncture technique.
Nowadays, the still young Bian Mu boldly proposes to use "Golden Needle Crossing the Sea" acupuncture to treat severe patients like Zhu Dingding. While angry, Qi Shangqi is deeply shocked.
After calming down, Qi Shangqi asked in a deep voice: "Listening to your tone, you are very confident?! Shall we start now?"
"With you and the teachers in charge, I will give a trial diagnosis. If anything is done incorrectly, I would like you and the teachers to criticize and correct me." Bian Mu replied calmly.
"Doctor Zhao! Then please ask the head nurse to prepare the corresponding equipment for him!" Qi Shangqi's qualifications were there, so it was no problem to give instructions to the resident doctor, Dr. Zhao.
Doctor Zhao never dreamed that Bian Mu would take down Mr. Qi with just a few words. No matter how reluctant he was, he did not dare to say anything. He quickly called the female head nurse to be Bian Mu's assistant.
"Head nurse! This ward has oxygen supply equipment. I will have to use an open flame later. To avoid an explosion, can you see if you can temporarily adjust a ward without oxygen equipment? In addition, you have to help me prepare three charcoal braziers. , a smaller one will do, and ask the nurse to go out and buy some charcoal, preferably smokeless charcoal. It doesn’t matter if it’s more expensive, I can reimburse it. If our hospital has a woodworking room, could you please ask them to cut a wood board for me? Just bear the patient's weight. Just refer to Zhu Dingding's height for the length and width dimensions. I'll measure the dimensions later and draw a sketch. You can just hand it over to the carpenter. It won't cost much. If our hospital doesn't have a carpentry room, then Just go to the street and find a carpenter to try." Bian Mu told the head nurse one by one his requirements.
The head nurse was confused after hearing this, and couldn't help but look at resident doctor Dr. Zhao a few more times.
Doctor Zhao was full of doubts, so he couldn't help but look at Qi Shangqi to see his reaction.
Qi Shangqi was an expert and knew that Bian Mu was good at everything he asked for. He smiled and said to the head nurse, "Your hospital's carpentry room is quite good. Just prepare it as Dr. Bian said!"
"Okay! Let's do it now. There are two spare wards at the west end. The oxygen supply channel has been shut down for a long time. It's okay there. Xiao Ding, please ask two trainee nurses to go over and clean Ward 522." After that, the head nurse Ask the nurse to get pen and paper and ask Bian Mu to draw a sketch.
Knowing that the head nurse and the others knew nothing, after drawing the woodworking board, Bian Mu simply drew the size and material of the charcoal brazier, the specifications of the charcoal, the type and quantity of moxibustion sticks, the number of ginger slices, the degree of strong liquor... and so on. He pulled out a list and handed it to the head nurse.
After carefully browsing it and checking that it was correct, the head nurse called two female nurses to go out and prepare relevant equipment.
Bian Mu was not idle either. He walked to Zhu Dingding's side and started taking his pulse.
The ward was quiet, and the patient in the bed next to him seemed to feel the tension. He quietly took off his earphones, turned off the entertainment software on his phone, and quietly went out to visit other wards.
The ward suddenly became extremely quiet.
Except for Bian Mu, everyone had their own thoughts. Their eyes, expressions, and demeanor... were all different. However, one thing was similar: serious questioning looks!
Bian Mu's pulse diagnosis took a long time. Except for Qi Shangqi, the other onlookers thought Bian Mu was pretending.
"It's almost exactly what I imagined. Uncle Kui was really angry. He hit hard enough. Fortunately! He didn't kill him. Otherwise, Zhu Dingding would have been crippled at that time. Well... all the meridians are fine. It's a blessing to be repaired! Alas! Leaving room for others means leaving a way out for yourself..." Bian Mu thought to himself.
Zhu Dingding's wife stared closely at Bian Mu's every move, and she was still a little nervous. Although she had no education, she had a lot of life experience. At this moment, her mind finally turned around: Bian Mu definitely had a problem!
"We will negotiate with them about the future. At least let Dingding wake up first." Zhu Dingding's wife thought to herself.
Inspection, pulse examination, deduction... When Bian Mu's diagnostic procedures were almost complete, the female nurse surnamed Ding came over and reported that ward 522 had been arranged.
"Teacher Zhao! Let's change the ward now!" Bian Mu said with a smile.
Dr. Zhao, the resident doctor, was holding back the uncomfortable feeling that could not be dissipated for a while. Bian Mu discussed it with her, but she really was not in the mood to pay attention to him.
"Xiao Ding! Remove the oxygen first, check the patient's vital signs, and prepare to transfer to the ward in ten minutes!"
"Yes!" She agreed, and the female nurse surnamed Ding directed the two trainee nurses to start making preparations for the transfer ward.
At this moment, the head nurse of the fifth floor ward came back.
"Doctor Bian! The woodworking boards have been placed in Ward 522. Charcoal is not easy to buy. It will probably produce a lot of smoke and dust. I wonder if it will bring some danger to the patient? For example, short-term hypoxia or something."
"It's okay! I'll figure it out! Then you guys can observe here first, and I'll accompany Mr. Qi and the other teachers over there to make preparations." As he spoke, Bian Mu respectfully greeted Qi Shangqi and the others. Please come out of ward 517.
…
Ward 522 is very spacious. Bian Mu suspects that this is probably a temporary emergency shelter in the ward area on the fifth floor. After asking Qi Shangqi and others to sit down, Bian Mu didn't say much. He picked up a bottle of high-strength liquor, unscrewed the lid, and poured it with the mouth down. When he got to the charcoal, before the white wine had evaporated completely, Bian Mu put on disposable PE gloves and picked out a few pieces of dry charcoal that had not been topped with white wine from the charcoal pile and set up a shelf in an empty charcoal brazier.
The head nurse was quite reliable in her work, but she was worried that the charcoal would be difficult to ignite, so she picked up a small bottle of gasoline from somewhere and placed an electronic combustion gun next to the charcoal brazier.
Bian Mu opened the gasoline bottle and poured some gasoline. Worried about causing a fire, Bian Mu then deliberately carried the small gasoline bottle to the bathroom and placed it on the ground next to the toilet.
He turned around and quickly returned to the charcoal brazier, flicked the ignition switch, and the flames started to jump out with a "whoosh..." sound.
Qi Shangqi and others hadn't seen anyone light charcoal for a long time. When they saw the flames rising, the expressions on everyone's faces couldn't help showing all kinds of worries. This scene made Bian Mu laugh secretly.
A slender young female nurse reacted very quickly and quickly opened all the doors and windows to disperse the smoke and dust in the room as much as possible.
After a while, people discovered that Bian Mu had lit all three braziers. Strangely enough, except for the faint scent of pine, no smoke could be seen or smelled at all in the room.
Everyone couldn't help but look at each other, feeling that the young male Chinese medicine doctor in front of them was a little weird!
