Chapter 159 High blood pressure and back pain (Part 1 of 2)

Lao Ma announced that today’s TCM psychology course is over.

There was a warm round of applause from below.

Everyone felt that this trip was not in vain, but they felt that it was not enough.

People reluctantly left the classroom and went to the restaurant to eat. Groups of three and two excitedly discussed with each other what they had learned today.

On the way to the restaurant, Lao Ma asked: "Commissioner Wu, why are you here?"

"Why, I can't come and take a look?" Commissioner Wu said jokingly.

"Haha, how can that be possible?" Lao Ma was a little puzzled. He thought to himself, this lecture was reported to Commissioner Wu, and he didn't say he was coming over at that time.

Commissioner Wu said: "I haven't seen Boss Lin, Secretary-General Lei and President Xie for a while, so I took the time to come and see my old friends."

Lao Ma thinks it's not that simple.

…

After lunch, everyone said goodbye one after another.

Since Yan Zixiu was fine, and Boss Lin, Lei Chun and Dean Xie were all busy people, they said goodbye and returned to the south. Dean Xie had gained a lot and planned to start classes when he returned.

Dean Wu took the bus back to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital with the doctors and nurses.

Director Zhao of the TV station had a special car and traveled with the staff.

Commissioner Wu did not leave. After he, Lao Ma and Yan Zixiu sent everyone away, he said to Yan Zixiu: "Xiao Yan, I have something to talk to you about."

Lao Ma vaguely guessed something, but he was very aware of the situation and immediately took Xiao Wu and others to clean up the stall.

In Yan Zixiu's room, Commissioner Wu stood looking at the world map on the wall.

Yan Zixiu brewed two cups of puzzle tea.

Commissioner Wu said nothing, pointed to Australia on the map, and then looked at Yan Zixiu with questioning eyes.

Yan Zixiu nodded.

Commissioner Wu used a pen to draw the shape of a satellite on the paper.

Yan Zixiu nodded again. He understood that Commissioner Wu already knew a lot of things.

Everything is left unsaid.

Commissioner Wu used a match to burn the paper dots with satellites drawn on them, put the paper ashes into the iron garbage basket, took a long breath, and looked at Yan Zixiu with complicated eyes.

Surprised, happy, worried, doubtful, caring, they all seem to be there.

"Uncle Wu."

This Uncle Wu hasn't called me for a while.

Commissioner Wu's eyes were a little moist, and in front of him was still the innocent boy who went to the market to sell sweet potatoes. The two of them formed a long-lasting friendship because of their common interests.

"Uncle Wu, my next retreat may take two whole days."

"The crisis has not been completely resolved yet?" Commissioner Wu asked worriedly.

"It's fine in the short term, but it's hard to say in the long term. Fortunately, we have found preliminary clues." Yan Zixiu said.

They didn't say what it was, but they knew it clearly.

"You have to be careful and protect yourself."

Yan Zixiu's heart welled up with warmth: "Uncle Wu, don't worry."

"I'm at ease. Xiao Yan, you are at ease too. Is there anything you need support for?"

"No at the moment, just keep everything as usual."

"That's good."

…

November 23rd, Saturday. It’s the day to go to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital for a consultation.

Lao Ma was unable to be an assistant this time because of something else, but there was no shortage of assistants at all.

Doctors who were not on duty at the traditional Chinese medicine hospital came to observe and volunteered to be Dr. Yan's assistant because this was a good opportunity to learn.

According to Yan Zixiu's request, Director Wu installed a screen and a simple bed in the consulting room to make acupuncture more convenient. In order to keep the patients warm, a coal stove with a chimney was also added.

Now Yan Zixiu is more famous, so he has more patients.

The first patient was a 75-year-old retired worker. He said he had high blood pressure, bloated hair, stiff neck, and felt uncomfortable holding back.

The assistant measured it and found it was 110-180 mmHg.

Yan Zixiu saw that he was in great pain, so he first helped him use the catharsis method and acupuncture the Quchi and Zusanli points. The old worker felt more relaxed.

"Old man, how many years have you had high blood pressure?" Yan Zixiu asked seemingly casually.

"It's been twenty or thirty years."

"Twenty or thirty years ago, was there anyone you felt particularly dissatisfied with, or something that shouldn't have happened? Or did you feel you shouldn't be treated in any way?"

The old worker said without hesitation: "Yes. Everyone who joined the factory with me has a higher salary than me and a higher level than me. I am not convinced. Why should I be looked down upon?"

"Oh? Are those people still there?"

The old worker laughed when he heard this: "Hey, we're all gone." After saying that, he breathed a long sigh of relief, as if he had let go of something.

Yan Zixiu asked his assistant to measure the old man's blood pressure again, and the result was 90-130 mmHg.

The old worker was very happy: "Thank you, Doctor Yan. I feel much more relaxed now. Thank you so much, Doctor Yan."

"Old man, you have experienced it yourself. In the future, you should be more open-minded and calm when encountering problems, so that you can live a long and healthy life."

"Okay, okay, I must be overthinking it." The old worker asked his family to pay the medical fees and left happily.

A middle-aged female doctor who was observing the scene combed her hair with her hands and asked, "Teacher Yan, why did you ask him if there were any people who were dissatisfied and if there was anything that he felt should not have happened?"

In fact, she is more than ten years older than Yan Zixiu. But a master is a teacher, and if you want to learn something, you have to be humble.

If you don't know the truth, you won't know the truth.

"Doctor Mei, just call me Xiao Yan." It turned out that the female doctor's surname was Mei. Yan Zixiu explained, "From the psychology of traditional Chinese medicine, the psychological factor of high blood pressure is inner competition. High blood pressure is the feeling that others

It shouldn’t be like that. Low pressure and high pressure means you feel you shouldn’t

How was he treated? For example, the old worker just now felt that others should not be paid more than him and that he should not be treated like that. He felt in his heart that he shouldn't be treated like that, but something happened again, so the subconscious kept fighting, so high pressure,

The low pressure has become high.”

"Oh, so that's it." Dr. Mei then asked, "Does it mean that only high pressure is high, or only low pressure is high? Do you only have competition with others or competition with yourself?"

"Yes."

Dr. Mei also wanted to ask about low blood pressure, but was interrupted by the second patient. She had to press the topic first.

The second patient, a middle-aged woman, complained mainly of low back pain.

Yan Zixiu observed that the patient mainly suffered from righteousness deficiency, so he asked Dr. Mei to help her gently massage the kidney acupoints for two minutes on each side.

Behind the screen, Dr. Mei asked the patient to lie prone on the simple bed and massaged her.

Yan Zixiu chatted with the female patient: "What kind of pain does your lower back feel like? Is it a pinprick pain, a dull pain, an aching pain, or is it like a broken joint?"

"Doctor Yan, my waist hurts as if it's about to break."

"Oh? Do you have any objections to your husband? Have you ever wanted to separate from him?"

"Ah? Haha. Doctor Yan, you are so amazing. How did you know that? I just annoy him and blame him. I feel that he doesn't support me, so I just want to divorce him these days." Yan Zi said

Xiu was right, and the female patient laughed instead.

Yan Zixiu answered her: "You are annoying him, you think he is incompetent, and you want to divorce him. Do you think you will be clean after divorce?"

The female patient smiled and cried again: "Yes, we will be pure after leaving. But I can't bear to leave the child."

Dr. Mei was smart and learned to answer: "You want to leave, but you can't let go of the child."

The female patient cried for a while and suddenly said: "Oh, why do I feel like my waist is getting cold? It seems to have warmed up and it doesn't hurt much anymore."

"Then get up and give it a try."

The female patient slowly got up from the simple bed and tried to move: "Really, my waist is better. This is amazing."

It goes without saying that Dr. Mei was surprised. The patients and their families waiting outside were also surprised. Is that good?

The female patient was very happy: "Oh, Dr. Yan, I was worried that I was going to be paralyzed. This is great, thank you. Thank you, Dr. Mei, too."

Dr. Mei feels quite accomplished.

"Haha, that's good. When you think of your husband, how do you feel now? Do you still want a divorce?" Yan Zixiu asked with a smile.

The female patient seemed to be much soberer and calmer: "Oh, it's not easy for him either. We should communicate more and discuss more in the future."

Emotions create a separation between intelligence and intelligence. When people are overwhelmed with emotions, they often cannot see the truth clearly. When emotions calm down, people will understand.

Everyone in the clinic was happy that the family had avoided a divorce crisis.

Dr. Mei praised: "Dr. Yan, you can still be a marriage mediator."
