027 Stroke paralysis

Of course, Du Heng didn't care whether he lit a fire or not. He came to see a doctor, not to keep warm.

"Auntie, there's no need to work too hard. Just find a place to sit and we'll give you a check-up."

"Just show it to my old man, and I won't need to."

"It's okay, you both need to watch it."

After all, the old lady said that her hands were quite nimble. Before Du Heng could finish speaking, she had already pulled two stools over, leaving Du Heng stunned for a moment.

"Don't be afraid, you take the old lady's blood pressure and pulse first, and I'll check the old man."

"Okay senior brother."

This time they went out for a national physical examination. Taking blood pressure and pulse are basic operations. And in the medical records, these are basic requirements and must be included.

Du Heng ignored Wu Buwei, and the two of them had their own duties. Du Heng took off his shoes and got on the kang, carefully checking the old man.

"Old man, I am a doctor at the health center. My name is Du Heng. Let me check you out."

Du Heng said hello very affectionately, but the old man just lay upright, neither agreeing nor disapproving, just saying "hmm" in his nose, and his face was a little dark.

Can't speak or don't want to speak?

No matter what, Du Heng felt that this old man was a bit angry and had to give up!

Paralysis can be caused by two reasons. One is caused by external factors, such as a car accident, a fall, a crushing injury, a broken waist or a broken leg, etc.

There is another kind of internal cause, which is called stroke in traditional Chinese medicine.

Stroke is not an external wind. It is caused by excessive heart fire and kidney water deficiency. It is thought that the original qi is caused by dampness. Dampness produces phlegm. Phlegm can generate heat, and extreme heat can generate wind.

Wind and phlegm block the meridians, causing the mouth to be unable to speak, or the hands and feet to become useless.

After a detailed examination, Du Heng was convinced that this was the sequelae of a stroke.

However, this examination also showed that the old lady took good care of her, and her paralyzed left leg and left hand showed no obvious degeneration or atrophy.

It is estimated that the old lady often gives the old man massages, and the old man himself can also use a cane or something like that to move around.

When Du Heng finished the inspection, several other people looked at Du Heng eagerly.

The old lady, in particular, looked at Du Heng with hopeful eyes.

"Doctor, how is our old man doing? Can he recover?"

Zuo Liangliang also had a similar expression, "Doctor Du, can my second father still stand up in this condition?"

Du Heng stood up and glanced at the old man from the corner of his eye, and saw a little expectation on the old man's face.

Du Heng quickly searched for the knowledge in his mind, compared them one by one with the old man's examination results, and finally came to the conclusion that there was hope. But before that, he still had to determine two issues.

"Old man, when did this happen to you?"

The old man finally spoke, and he was very angry, "On the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, when I was getting something, I stood up violently and fainted. I lay in the hospital for half a month and didn't feel well before I came back."

Able to speak, very good.

But this time is a bit wrong. If I remember correctly, Zuo Liangliang just said that it has been half a year.

Zuo Liangliang also saw Du Heng's puzzled look, and immediately explained, "I fainted once half a year ago. At that time, I couldn't control my hands and feet, but I could barely stand. I fainted again in the twelfth lunar month, and then I

Now it’s like this, the left half can’t move at all.”

You have to listen to everything, half and half are easy to make mistakes. You must know that the twelfth lunar month has just gone out, and it has only been more than a month now.

"Auntie took good care of her. The muscles in her legs and arms have not atrophied, and there is still hope for her to stand up. However, this time is a bit long. Treatment may take a long time. The extent of recovery in the end depends on the patient himself.

, and the care of my family.”

"Okay, okay, as long as you can stand up, eat and go to the toilet by yourself, then thank God." The old lady looked grateful, clasped her hands and thanked Du Heng repeatedly.

Du Heng quickly waved his hand from the kang, "Don't be like this, ma'am, I just said there is hope."

"It's good to have hope, it's good to have hope."

Du Heng was also helpless.

As you walked in, you could tell that the old man and the old lady had bad faces the whole time. They probably just had an argument. The old lady must have been tired of being waited on, and she lost her composure when she heard there was a chance to recover.

"Don't be afraid, take the needle from my medicine box."

Wu Buwei took the needles and sterilized them, and Du Heng took advantage of this time to write down the old man's medical records. He couldn't just throw everything at Wu Buwei.

This time, there are more choices for acupuncture locations. Quchi, Hegu, Huantiao, and Zusanli are the acupoints that must be selected.

For example, to keep the knuckles alive, the Eight Evils must be removed, and the same applies to other positions.

Du Heng calculated in his mind that almost ten acupoints would be taken this time.

Although there were many acupuncture points and Du Heng was tired from pricking them, there was still good news. The old man's legs and arms actually reacted strongly.

This gave Du Heng a lot of confidence.

The biggest fear of paralysis is that if the affected area does not respond or feel, then it will be life-threatening.

After half an hour of busy work, Du Heng took out the needle and began to ask Wu Buwei to write down the medicine.

If the wind is in the left due to blood deficiency, the left side will be inoperable; if the wind in Qi deficiency is in the right side, the right side will be inoperable; if the wind is in the tendons and veins, the wind will be tight; in the Ying deficiency wind, it will not be benevolent; in the Wei deficiency wind, it will not be benevolent.

Du Heng thought for a while, and a prescription came to his mind, which was specially designed to treat hemiplegia, "6 grams of Atractylodes macrocephala, 15 grams of Codonopsis pilosula, 15 grams of Gastrodia elata, 6 grams of agarwood... Add a little ginger slices, decoct in water and take.

Three times a day.”

A total of more than ten kinds of drug names were spoken from Du Heng's mouth, while Wu Buwei quickly recorded them with the pen in his hand.

After Du Heng finished speaking, Wu Buwei also finished recording and handed the written prescription to Du Heng.

Du Heng read it over and found nothing wrong, signed his name, tore off the copy page and handed it to the old lady, "Auntie, this is the prescription. Just follow the prescription and take the medicine. There are six pills for one course of treatment. Take three pills first.

For the course of treatment, then call me, or come to the health center to see me every Friday."

The old lady carefully took the prescription and then carefully placed it in a shoe box at the end of the kang.

When I opened it, I saw neatly arranged medicine bottles inside.

"Auntie, you have to work hard every day. Massage my arms and legs twice in the morning and evening. Come over here and I'll point you to these places. You need to press harder."

Du Heng called the old lady to his side and took the trouble to teach her over and over again, making her remember the acupuncture points that needed to be pressed.

The old lady studied very seriously, but after all, she was old and her memory was not very good. She always learned the last three, but forgot the first ones, and started to press randomly.

It wasn't until the old lady learned how to do it that she stopped with satisfaction.

"Hey, look at me, how confused I am. I didn't even make you a cup of tea. Please sit down for a while and I'll get you a glass of water."

Du Heng and Wu Buwei looked at each other secretly, both feeling that the old lady changed her attitude too quickly and it was a waste not to act.

"Auntie, don't be busy anymore. I'll help you take a look and then we'll leave. There are still many people who haven't gone."

"I won't drink anymore, so why are you so embarrassed?"

"It's okay, ma'am, come here and sit down, I'll show you."

"Well, please excuse me, doctor."
