Chapter 4172【261】Don’t let go of mistakes
Otherwise, how could I have started to let Xie students take action on the phone?
The boss believes that sometimes being present in person may make students shy and lack courage. What they 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.
Speaking of tools, there was no acupuncture needle, so Dr. Xie Wanying took out the medical cotton swabs she always had in her pocket.
Old doctors do not use cotton swabs, but directly use their fingers to test 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 that 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 handle.
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. 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 movements of their fingers during the movement of space, which will affect the results.
If you have watched previous acupuncture teaching videos, you will see some steel rulers used by veteran acupuncture doctors to conduct research and measure acupuncture points.
Therefore, when reading ancient Chinese medicine books, you should not read rotely, but should focus on the increasingly advanced modern technology so that it can 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 after measuring.
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.
An inch can be measured by using the distance between the horizontal stripes at the two ends of the inner finger when the **** of the patient is flexed. It is convenient for selecting acupuncture points on the patient's back and limbs.
If the width of the knuckle of the patient's thumb is used as 1 inch, it can also be used to select acupoints on the limbs.
With the exception of one inch, let the patient's four fingers except the thumb be together. Using the horizontal crease of the **** as the horizontal standard, measure the width of the index finger and **** 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 **** 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 acupoints are like Western medicine, which directly uses anatomical landmarks on the human body 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 **** sticks to the outside of the thigh.
