Chapter 41: Pediatric Fingerprint Diagnosis

Outside the neonatal intensive care unit, Muren's mother looked haggard, lying on the window of the ward, her eyes fixed on the third incubator in the ward, where her son lay fighting for death.

Since family members are not allowed to accompany the neonatal ward, parents who are worried about Muren's condition have to take turns to stay outside.

Hearing the footsteps of many people, Muren's mother turned her head and looked over. She saw her son's doctor, Dr. Feng, following a middle-aged doctor. The person in front of her could be seen as the leader.

As if seeing a life-saving straw, Muren's mother grabbed Agudamu's hand and choked out: "Boss, you must save my son. He was only more than ten days old and has not had a sip of his mother's milk. He still has

I haven’t even seen a prairie.”

Agudamu let Muren's mother hold his hand tightly and comforted him: "Don't worry, the patient's family, we will do our best to treat him. Today we have invited doctors from the Department of Infectious Diseases and the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine for consultation. Please don't worry.

.”

Agudamu introduced Dr. Huang Su and Fang's resume to Muren's mother.

After calming down Muren's mother, the group walked into the intensive care unit and walked to the third incubator. The baby was lying on his side in the incubator, with a cylindrical oxygen mask covering the baby's little head inside.

Lying on your side is to prevent laryngospasm from causing saliva to block the trachea and cause suffocation.

Huang Su walked into the incubator and observed the baby carefully. The baby had a wry smile on his face, his face was blue, his lips were purple and black, and saliva was flowing out from the corners of his mouth.

Everyone had concluded that the baby was infected with tetanus, and Huang Su was still staring at the baby in the incubator.

Dr. Fang felt that Huang Su was putting on airs and sarcastically said: "How does Director Huang see it? How does he plan to treat it? Let us see the miracle of traditional Chinese medicine taking three days."

Huang Su ignored the noisy Dr. Fang, asked the nurse in the neonatal intensive care unit for a pair of sterile gloves, put them on, reached into the incubator and gently touched the baby's body, feeling that the baby's body muscles were stiff and the meridians were contracted.

"Suwen·Zhizhenyao Dalun": "All violence and violence belong to the wind."

"Nei Jing Zhi Yao·Bing Neng": "Strong people have strong tendons; straight people have straight bodies and cannot bend or extend." It is more common in convulsions, epilepsy, tetanus and other diseases.

Huang Su gently opened the baby's palm, held the child's index finger with his left hand, and gently pushed the Mingguan of the child's index finger to Fengguan with his right thumb. After repeating this process several times, a blue-purple meridian clearly appeared on the baby's index finger.

The diagnostic technique used by Xingsu is called pediatric fingerprint diagnosis. It is a traditional Chinese medicine method for diagnosing diseases based on the color and location of fingerprints for children under three years old, especially newborns with unclear pulses.

The blue-purple meridians appearing on the index finger are fingerprints.

The theoretical basis is that the twelve meridians all start from the Taiyin of the hand, and the Taiyang of the hand is where Qi and blood converge. The Taiyin meridian of the hand exits from Cunkou to the end of the index finger and meets the Yangming large intestine. Therefore, the index finger collaterals and the Cunguan and Chi meridians are the same.

It comes from one source. This is the extension of the Cunkou pulse. The Cunkou pulse can reflect the changes in the rise and fall of yin and yang in the human body's internal organs, qi, blood, and yin and yang. Therefore, diagnosing the index finger collaterals has the same meaning as diagnosing the Cunkou pulse.

The baby's fingerprints were blue and purple, showing that he had passed away.

"He Hui, come here, tell me what kind of certificate the baby has because the fingerprints are purple." Huang Su called He Hui to his side and asked.

He Hui walked up to Huang Su, stared at the still-unclear fingerprints on the baby's palm, and said with a blank and guilty tone: "Director, we haven't learned how to read fingerprints."

"The basics of traditional Chinese medicine, the pediatric fingerprint method, are not taught. What on earth have you learned in four years? If you like teaching Western medicine so much, why do you still call it clinical Chinese medicine? It would be better to just call Western medicine clinical. I really think that after studying Western medicine for a few days, you can't get sick.

It can all be cured." Huang Su pointed at Sang and cursed Huai.

Dr. Fang's face turned red with anger, but he didn't dare to get angry. After all, he was teaching people from the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and he would only be humiliating himself if he went up to argue now.

Dr. Fang has secretly hated Huang Su and thought: If you can’t cure it, I will humiliate you even more.

Huang Su pointed to the blue-purple meridian on the baby's index finger for He Hui to see, and said: "I asked you to look at the fingerprints and you really looked at the fingerprints for me. Did you see it? This green meridian is

What Chinese medicine calls fingerprints.”

"Fingerprint refers to the veins exposed from the tiger's mouth to the palm of the index finger close to the thumb. It is also called the tiger's mouth pattern, and the tiger's mouth vein pattern of the three passes. The three passes refer to the first section of the index finger near the tiger's mouth being the wind pass, and the second section being the qi pass.

The third quarter is the critical point of fate.”

Huang Su then pointed to the three levels of wind, qi, and life on the baby's index finger to show He Hui.

"If the fingerprint is purple, it indicates wind syndrome or pain syndrome; if the fingerprint is purple-red, it indicates internal heat; if it is bright red, it indicates external syndrome; if it is purple-black, it indicates blood stasis and critical illness. The fingerprint method for children is diagnosed from the "Nei Jing"

The Thenar collaterals method evolved from Wang Chao's "Shui Jing Tu Jue" in the Tang Dynasty to its completion, and is still used today. If a good Chinese medicine department does not teach Chinese medicine, I really think that Chinese medicine developed over two thousand years is useless.

"

Dr. Fang's face turned from red to black when he heard that there was something in Huang Su's words.

He Hui carefully and quickly recorded the knowledge points Huang Su had talked about in his notebook.

There is a hint of irony in the words, and then he continues: "The collaterals appear at Fengguan, which is where evil Qi enters the collaterals. The evil is mild and the disease is mild, which is common in exogenous diseases. The veins penetrate from Fengguan to Qiguan, and their color is darker, which is

When evil qi enters the meridians, the main evil is deep and serious illness. If the collaterals appear at the Mingguan, it means the evil has entered the organs and the main disease is critical; if the collaterals go straight to the fingertips, it is called penetrating through the nail, and the disease is more dangerous and the prognosis is poor."

He Hui is also learning and selling now: "Teacher, now the patient's meridians have passed the Qi pass. Doesn't this mean that the condition is extremely serious? If it reaches the life pass, doesn't it mean that the patient is in danger of life?"

Huang Sudao: "So Wuhu Zhuifeng Powder is no longer powerful enough. It is necessary to add Yuzhen Powder to quickly clear the liver and detoxify, dispel wind and relieve spasm."

Yuzhen San is an ancient traditional Chinese medicine prescription. It is a wind-curing agent that has the effects of dispelling wind and reducing phlegm, calming convulsions and relieving spasms. It is mainly used to treat tetanus.

"He Huiji prescription, 3g of Uncaria, 3g of insect slough, 1g of Nanxing, 3g of Fangfeng, 6g of whole worm, 2g of Bombyx, 1g of Atractylodes, 1g of centipede, administered by enema, double the dosage, two doses per day

.”

Huang Su handed the prescription to the nurse and said, "Go to the Chinese medicine pharmacy and follow this prescription."

The nurse took a look at the prescription, handed it to Agudamu, pointed to the centipedes, silkworms, and whole insects on it, and looked at Agudamu suspiciously.

Agudamu looked at the prescription and frowned slightly, but out of trust in Huang Su, he still said: "Follow Director Huang's prescription and take the medicine. I will be responsible for anything that happens."

Huang Su also knew everyone's doubts, so he explained: "All insects, zombie silkworms, and centipedes are poisonous, but they have the effect of detoxifying and relieving spasms."

The whole worm is the whole scorpion, and the silkworm is the dried body of the silkworm that was infected with Beauveria bassiana and died.

"Director Agudamu, after taking this prescription for half an hour, the baby's palms and soles will sweat, which proves that this prescription has taken effect. The baby's spasms should be improved in as short as one day or as long as three days. During the period of taking the medicine,

The use of all western medicines is prohibited, only oxygen inhalation and nasogastric feeding can be used to maintain the baby's body functions."

Huang Su described in detail the reaction that the baby should have after taking the medicine, but he was worried that the nurse would still be concerned about the poison in the prescription and treat it as an abnormality by using Western medicine indiscriminately, resulting in a conflict of properties of the medicine.

Not long after, the nurse walked into the neonatal intensive care unit with boiled Chinese medicine and gave Muren an enema to take the medicine.

Listening to the ticking sound of the clock on the wall, everyone was waiting for Muren's reaction after taking the medicine. Some were anxiously waiting, while others were waiting to see the show.

Half an hour later, Muren's palms and soles began to sweat. Seeing that it was just as Huang Su had explained, Agudamu and all the pediatric doctors breathed a sigh of relief. Only Doctor Fang's face became even more ugly.

"Director Agudamu, since the medicine is effective for the child, I will take my leave now. If there is anything going on with the child in the future, please call me in time."

Huang Su took He Hui out of the infant intensive care unit, ignoring Dr. Fang, who had a dark face the whole time.

Agudamu personally sent Huang Su out of the intensive care unit, and said with guilt on his face: "Director Huang, I'm really embarrassed about this today."

"You don't need to take this matter to heart, it has nothing to do with you. Western medicine doctors like you who have no arrogance against Chinese medicine are truly rare." Huang Su explained politely.

The more polite Huang Su was, the more Agudamu complained about Dr. Fang.

After spending a month with Huang Su, Agudamu knew his temperament well.

Although he is usually kind and gentle, he is very arrogant at heart. You can say that his medical skills are not good, but if you question Chinese medicine, you are waiting for his humiliation.

More than two months ago, he slapped the entire hospital in the face with the obstetrics and gynecology department. The incident was still fresh in my mind. How could someone forget it and start making trouble again?
