Pulse diagnosis in Chinese medicine is quite difficult. No matter how difficult it is, no matter which Chinese medicine student you ask, they will tell you that pulse diagnosis is the most profound of all physical examination methods in Chinese medicine.
Where is the esoteric?
If you read the ancient books of Chinese medicine, you will find that the various descriptions of pulse diagnosis can only be understood and cannot be quantified, unlike Western medicine which has specific numerical indicators.
This causes each doctor of traditional Chinese medicine to feel the pulse of the patient, and the medical conclusions he may realize are different.
If you have to ask Chinese doctors which pulse is the easiest to feel, it may be beyond the imagination of laymen. It is not the pulse of qi deficiency, floating pulse, liver stagnation, etc. that is often talked about by the public—it is the pregnancy pulse.
There have been more than one such cases in clinical practice.
A female patient came to the hospital of traditional Chinese medicine to ask for a prescription for recuperating her body without complaining of a stomachache. The doctor of traditional Chinese medicine cut the pulse of the female patient and was able to diagnose that she was most likely to have an ectopic pregnancy, and then performed B-ultrasound and other examinations on the patient to confirm that the diagnosis of traditional Chinese medicine was correct.
At this time, whether it is a patient or a doctor of Western medicine, there is a high probability that they can only use an exclamation mark to express: Chinese medicine is too amazing.
The typical pregnancy pulse is special and easy to feel. It can be said that it is the entry way for many students of Chinese medicine colleges to learn pulse.
Through the pregnancy pulse, Chinese medicine students can know: Oh, it was originally called Hua pulse.
These situations are enough to show that it is as difficult as it should be for people to feel the patient's pulse in many different pulse patterns by relying on the touch of their fingers.
So in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, there is such an evaluation rule that does not need to be written. Whether a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine is really a master can only be judged by the extent of his/her pulse diagnosis skills.
It’s not that the Western doctors at the scene have never heard such rumors about Chinese medicine. They all looked at the only doctor of Chinese medicine, Dr. Wen Zihan, who took the patient’s pulse. Most likely, they were waiting: Does Dr. Wen Zihan have the skills in the rumors, and whether Wu Lixuan’s patients helped her brag. When her pulse diagnosis results come out, they will probably come to a conclusion.
After waiting for a while, the patient was in an urgent condition and the doctor could not allow the doctor to treat him slowly. It probably took a minute or two.
If you are a Western doctor, you can at least count the patient's pulse rate during this period of time by feeling the pulse.
If you are a cardiologist, you can initially find out whether the patient's pulse has premature beats or other arrhythmias.
In summary, based on anatomy, Western medicine has determined that the pulse is the response of a patient's arterial pulse. Although it is connected to the patient's circulatory system, its beating pattern should only be related to the function of the heart, the blood pump.
Therefore, doctors of Western medicine never believe in the evil of pulse diagnosis in traditional Chinese medicine.
Wen Zihan took his pulse-checking hand away from the patient's wrist, raised his head and said to the other colleagues: "Maybe the cause of the disease is not a problem of cerebrovascular."
"what is the problem?"
A group of Western medicine doctors showed serious doubts on their faces.
It is important to know that this preliminary diagnosis comes from several doctors on site. Many of these doctors are bosses, which means that if she says no, she will slap the bosses in the face. "I just felt that his pulse is Xian pulse. I need to rule out whether he is in a hepatic coma." Wen Zihan said.
What!
There are hepatobiliary surgeons and gastroenterologists on site.
"Hey, didn't you notice that he is in a hepatic coma?" Shen Youhuan immediately turned his head and yelled at the juniors and sisters of the specialists.
"The family members did not say that he has a history of liver disease." Jiang Mingzhu responded first.
