"Doctor, didn't you say licorice is the king of all herbs? Why am I still poisoned?" The patient looked at Zhang Yan with disbelief.

"Old comrade, you should have heard an old saying that medicine is poisonous.

After all, licorice is not tea, but medicinal materials. Long-term drinking will naturally cause licorice poisoning." Zhang Yan explained with a smile.

This is not the first licorice poisoning patient he has encountered, nor will it be the last one.

"As long as it is a medicine, it is poisonous. Why didn't my grandson go to doctors who only know how to prescribe medicine to see the doctor? It's because these medicines are also poisonous.

It’s better for Dr. Zhang. You can cure my grandson with massage." The old woman said proudly next to her.

"Doctor, my stomach has always been uncomfortable. Can you give me massage too?" A patient in line heard the saying that he could not take medicine indiscriminately, and immediately asked Zhang Yan.

"Comrade, saying that medicine is poisonous is because you cannot take medicine indiscriminately, it does not mean that you cannot take it.

We cannot give up on food because of choking. As long as you follow my prescription to get medicine and take medicine, there will be no poisoning." Zhang Yan explained with a smile.

"Well, doctor, can I treat my stomach problems with massage?" The middle-aged patient seemed to have not heard Zhang Yan's words, but just insisted on asking.

Zhang Yan shook his head and smiled bitterly. He didn't expect that a simple licorice poisoning would scare a patient to avoid taking Chinese medicine.

"Whether massage can be cured, I have to wait a while and I will see it." After Zhang Yan finished speaking, he ignored the middle-aged patient and continued to see a doctor.

After taking the pulse, asking questions and looking for the diagnosis, Zhang Yan simply prescribed a prescription for the patient.

Finally it was the turn of the patient who was yelling about stomach discomfort.

"How is your stomach uncomfortable?" Zhang Yan asked gently.

"Doctor, please show me whether I can treat it without massage?" The middle-aged patient did not answer Zhang Yan's question, but was constantly struggling with whether Zhang Yan could treat him with massage.

I have seen someone who is afraid of death, but I have never seen someone who is so afraid of death.

"Comrade, you are feeling stomach upset now, so don't worry about whether to take medicine or massage treatment. The first thing we should determine is your stomach upset and what causes it.

We can find the disease first, and then we can use the right medicine or acupuncture and massage to treat it." Although he was speechless, Zhang Yan still had to patiently explain to the other party.

"Doctor, what do you mean is that I can use acupuncture for this stomach problem? Which one is better, acupuncture or massage?" The middle-aged patient's eyes lit up and he stared at Zhang Yan and asked.

"·······" Zhang Yan was a little crazy. After talking for a long time, he heard two words, acupuncture.

He was a little suspicious, was this patient who was here to make trouble on purpose, right?

"Come on, give me your hand and I'll take your pulse." Zhang Yan didn't want to continue saying anything else to him, so he would confirm his illness first.

Strong pulse.

"I'll look at your tongue coating."

The tongue coating is thin and white.

"How can you feel uncomfortable?"

"My stomach hurts heartburn, especially when I'm anxious to get angry, it hurts even more."

"In this way, you lie down on the bed and I'll check it out for you."

In fact, Zhang Yan could basically determine the patient's condition by just looking at him, but he would give him a complete set of diagnosis.

The purpose of doing this is to set an example for apprentices, and to allow them to understand the diagnosis methods and processes more comprehensively, and to develop a good habit of meticulousness and care.

He can directly diagnose the patient's condition through a master's level of observation, but those apprentices cannot do it.

He tried to save trouble and directly used his diagnosis and diagnosis, but he was very good at pretending, but he would harm these apprentices.

Zhang Yan always remembers a sentence that his teacher in his previous life once said, "The teacher is not only teaching students knowledge, but more of an attitude, an attitude towards people and things."

Teaching by words and deeds is often better than teaching by words.

Therefore, Zhang Yan could clearly see the patient's symptoms at a glance and even infer the root cause of the symptoms. However, he still looked at, heard, asked and touched each other in a straightforward manner, and did a lot of steps in four diagnosis.

"You are suffering from liver depression and qi stagnation, which causes liver and stomach discord caused by the rebellious reversal of the stomach. Therefore, when you get angry and anxious, your stomach pain will increase and even spread to both ribs.

Sometimes I feel chest tightness and belching.”

"Yes! Yes! That's what you said. When I get angry, not only will my stomach hurt, but sometimes my ribs hurt even if I get angry." The patient nodded excitedly.

"Doctor, then do you think my disease is cured quickly by massage or acupuncture?" the patient asked again.

"········" Zhang Yan was speechless. You are endless? You are so afraid of death and dare not take medicine?

"Your disease! You're the fastest to get better after taking medicine!"

"Isn't it okay to not take medicine? Doctor, you can't treat this differently!

The child just now had a cold and fever. You pushed it with your hands twice and then cured it. Why did you have to take medicine when you get here? I must be poisoned like the old man just now?"

The patient was very dissatisfied with Zhang Yan's answer and stood up and shouted at Zhang Yan.

"Comrade, Chinese medicine is toxic. This statement is not wrong, but if used properly, it can cure diseases and will not have bad effects on the body.

The old comrade just now was poisoned because he used licorice instead of tea to make tea for many years, which led to licorice poisoning.

It doesn’t mean that as long as you take traditional Chinese medicine, you will get poisoned.”

"Then how do you guarantee that the Chinese medicine you prescribed is right and you will definitely not be poisoned?

Oh, I made you angry and my stomach hurts again." The middle-aged patient shouted, covering his stomach.

"If I can sit here to practice medical consultation, I have confidence. After taking my medicine, the patient will only cure the disease and not get poisoned. If I don't have this confidence, what else can I become a doctor?

Since you insist on taking Chinese medicine, I will give you a list and give you massage.

If massage is done, the effect will be slower. It will take about one to two weeks to cure your stomach discomfort." Zhang Yan explained with a laugh and cry, and then prescribed a massage for him according to the patient's wishes.

List.

"Why do you still have to charge? It costs 50 cents for massage once, which is too expensive, right?" the middle-aged patient took the order and looked at it and questioned.

"Comrade, our doctors also work hard on massage. Since we have worked hard, we will naturally have to charge." Zhang Yan frowned and looked at the middle-aged patient and explained.

"Then why don't you charge for massage for the elder sister's grandson? You have to charge for a massage when you arrive here? Do you just want to do massage for me? You just want to charge for it on purpose?"

"Comrade, be responsible for speaking.

The massage fee is clearly stipulated by the hospital and is also a charging item that has always existed." Zhang Yan frowned and said in a deep voice.

He now understood that this middle-aged man was acting with him in order not to spend money.
