"If you really want to learn acupuncture, make sure you familiarize yourself with the human body's acupoints when you have ti. If you're struggling, you can buy a mannequin online that has all the human acupoints. It's best if it allows for actual needle insertion, making it easier for you to practice," Lu Xuan looked at Ji Xiuwen.
"Puncture yourself often when you have nothing else to do, to get a feel for it. So acupoints can be punctured more frequently, and it could actually strengthen your body."
"I'll check it online later," Ji Xiuwen nodded. He truly wanted to learn acupuncture. Regardless of how much he could learn from Lu Xuan, he thought as long as he tried his best, it would be fine.
If he could learn it, great. If not, at least he'd gain so knowledge.
After all, for him, knowing more was better than knowing nothing at all.
Hearing the part about strengthening the body, Ye Xiang couldn't help but look over.
Lu Xuan said no more and continued to seriously perform acupuncture to get the qi.
Since Ji Xiuwen was willing to learn, Lu Xuan was naturally willing to teach without reservation. However, how much Ji Xiuwen would learn depended on him.
Half an hour later, Lu Xuan removed all the acupuncture needles.
Seeing this, Ye Xiang subconsciously glanced at the instrunt next to the bed and noticed that from the mont Lu Xuan removed the acupuncture needles, Gui Rongrun's blood pressure dropped from 135/108 mmHg to 130/89 mmHg.
Normalized?
Ye Xiang was astonished. After yesterday's acupuncture by Lu Xuan, today he had arranged for the patient to receive antihypertensive treatnt, as he didn't want Western dicine to overshadow him in such situations.
Yet, despite working all day, the results weren't as good as Lu Xuan's few needle insertions.
For a mont, Ye Xiang started to question his life.
How could Traditional Chinese dicine, so powerful, be overshadowed by Western dicine, which dominated the mainstream?
But after a brief mont of doubt, Ye Xiang suddenly seed to understand.
Indeed, Traditional Chinese dicine has its advancents, but it cannot be denied that overall, at this stage, it is still inferior to Western dicine.
Not to ntion internal dicine, just surgery alone can suppress Traditional Chinese dicine so much that it can't even raise its head.
Today, at ho, he also researched so aspects of Traditional Chinese dicine online and learned that it has extrely high achievents in surgery, but many techniques have been lost over ti, contributing to its current decline.
However, Ye Xiang had his own thoughts.
Even if Traditional Chinese dicine's surgical techniques hadn't been lost, they would still fall short compared to Western surgical procedures today, unable to compete.
Especially in warti, relying solely on Traditional Chinese dicine would have resulted in countless deaths.
Yet Western dicine saved countless lives in such tis.
It's not without reason that Western dicine surpassed Traditional Chinese dicine, which had been passed down for thousands of years, to beco the mainstream today.
The acupuncture technique Lu Xuan demonstrated was indeed impressive, but how many Traditional Chinese dicine doctors could master it? How many could even learn, let alone excel in it?
Compared to the training model of Western dicine, it is completely unrealistic for Traditional Chinese dicine to train enough doctors rapidly, both in quantity and quality.
Under Ye Xiang's guidance, Lu Xuan continued performing acupuncture on so patients from last night.
During this period, Lu Xuan also took ti to explain to Ji Xiuwen so points to note about acupuncture, the differences between acupoints, and the functions of acupoints.
The content was extensive, but Ji Xiuwen was quite enthusiastic about learning it.
Normally, who gets such an opportunity?
Ji Xiuwen cherished it imnsely, thinking he couldn't let his old schoolmate down. Even if he couldn't perform acupuncture on patients later, he could at least practice on himself.
"If it doesn't kill you, keep trying."
He believed he could learn, perhaps even master it.
If he could grasp this acupuncture technique, Ji Xiuwen thought he could potentially enter a new realm.
In Traditional Chinese dicine, mastering one aspect often leads to understanding others, as the principles remain constant.
Knowing acupuncture would also greatly aid in internal dicine.
When Lu Xuan finished removing the needles from the last patient, Ye Xiang suddenly said, "Dr. Lu, there are no more patients from yesterday's acupuncture treatnt. I ntioned earlier that our neurology departnt admitted a stroke patient last night. Although the patient was saved, their lower limbs are paralyzed. I was wondering if you wanted to give it a try?"
Lu Xuan checked the ti: "Alright, it's still early now, and it shouldn't be past ten when we're finished. Director Ye, if you could explain the situation to the patient, I'd have no objections if they're willing. If they're not, I'll co back tomorrow night. So patients could likely regain slight mobility after a few more acupuncture sessions, and walking shouldn't be a problem."
"Alright, Dr. Lu, I appreciate it."
After that, Ye Xiang intended to find the recently admitted patient but suddenly rembered sothing. Turning back, he said, "Also, Dr. Lu, I almost forgot — don't forget to send Old Wu your account number, or send it to . You've been busy for two nights and were a great help in the ergency yesterday; the fee for the 'Flying Knife' should be paid. If we forget to report it to finance later, it'll be troubleso."
The 'Flying Knife' fees are rarely drawn from patients' dical fees, nor should they be — it's not in line with regulations. In most cases, it's covered under the departnt's research funds.
Most hospitals operate this way.
However, tily reporting is necessary. Reporting early can reduce many issues, as public funds require rationale for every expenditure. Otherwise, if delayed, proofs must be provided. Although issuing proofs isn't difficult for a departnt head like Ye Xiang, it still requires a signature from the vice president and a stamp from the office, adding unnecessary complications.
