Chapter 194 Traditional Chinese Medicine is very effective in treating this injury
Wang Ping'an gently pressed his instep and said, "Does it hurt here?" Although he pressed lightly, the old man's feet shrank slightly, and there was no need to answer anything. The answer was clear, and the pain had already radiated to the instep.
Wang Ping'an looked carefully again, then looked up and said, "Old man, you are very capable of enduring the pain. I ask you if your toenails were purple and black at that time, and you pulled them off!"
When Wang Ping'an thought of the old man pulling his toenails by himself, he felt cold in his heart. How painful it would be!
The old man nodded and said, "Yes, the toenails looked like they were not good at that time, so I pulled it out, but the pain was so severe that I had to go to see a doctor, but the medicine he prescribed was not good. I have been feeling sorry for this until now!"
Wang Ping'an grinned. To be honest, most people dare not pull their toenails, which is a painful thing.
Pointing at the old man's feet, Wang Ping'an said again: "The new toenails have grown again and are wrapped in granulation. Could it be that you have to pull them out again?"
The old man showed a painful expression on his face, but he nodded heavily and said, "If this disease can be cured, then remove it again!"
I admire it, but also sad. When a poor person encounters this kind of pain, he cannot afford medicine and asks a famous doctor to treat it. What else can he do besides endurance?
While talking, Ke Lianwu and Ding Danruo came back. A little girl was carrying a kettle, a hand towel on her shoulder, and a basin. Another one held two boxes.
Wang Ping'an washed the old man's feet first, but the old man was really rude, so he had to thank him repeatedly, and tears appeared in his eyes. Maybe he had never met such a good person before, so he was moved twice as much.
At this time, more people came to drink mung bean soup outside the temple. When Wang Ping'an was washing the feet of a poor old man, he was puzzled. He came over to take a look, pointed and talked.
After washing his feet, Wang Ping'an suddenly said, "I was thinking about things just now, but I forgot the key. Wax fog. Go and get the scissors, and you need the sharpest one, a little smaller one!"
Ke Lianwu agreed and asked, "I have several handfuls of manicure!" She felt a little distressed. Her nail clippers were the best. If she used it for this old man, she would definitely not use it again.
Wang Ping'an said: "Finish, take it quickly and also need some clean white cloth!"
Seeing this, some of the onlookers couldn't help asking: "Young master, how can you treat the disease? Are you going to cut the toenails for this old man?" They also saw that Wang Ping'an wanted to treat the old man's foot injury.
Wang Ping'an nodded, but didn't answer anything. After a while, Ke Lianwu trotted back and took out his nail clippers and white cloth.
Wang Ping'an put moxa velvet on it and cut his nails to disinfect it. Then he said: "Old man, your disease is an external trauma and does not require internal medication. However, it requires needle fumigation. It may hurt a little, but it will definitely not hurt more than pulling your toenails by yourself. Judging from your current condition, treating it in the morning will reduce swelling and the pain will be relieved. The wound will be scabbed tomorrow night, and at most seven days, you can recover. You can pay attention and the disease will be cured!"
The old man was very embarrassed. He would never owe favors for his whole life. He had to wait until Hui Zheng finished his scriptures after drinking a bowl of mung bean soup. He was really a little sorry for a young man who had never known each other to treat his foot disease. His lips moved, but he really didn't know how to thank him. Suo Xing said the truth: "Young master, the old man doesn't have half a penny on his body, and he can't repay you!"
"I don't need you to repay you!" Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "I'm not in Chang'an, so you don't need to pay for medical treatment. Just treat it as a good relationship!"
The old man was still dissatisfied, but the onlookers said, "Take a cure if you are sick, don't drag it anymore, what's the foot like!"
Wang Ping'an fixed the old man's feet on his legs and used his nail clippers to cut off the excess toenails embedded in the nail bed. He cut the toenails very quickly to avoid causing pain to the old man, and then quickly repair the excess granulation!
Traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine have their own methods for treating this disease, and they are both good. Western medicine mainly focuses on nail extraction, but the patient will be very painful and in a few cases, it will be infected again. At that time, the nail extraction will have to be removed again! The traditional Chinese medicine treatment method is relatively mild, and the patient will not suffer too much pain, and the possibility of re-infection is much smaller!
But things have two sides. Although traditional Chinese medicine's treatment methods are good, they have high requirements for doctors' medical skills. They cannot be treated as they do like Western medicine. This is a saying that seeking truth from facts and does not favor any side.
Wang Ping'an naturally knew the difference between the two methods, but he still chose the traditional Chinese medicine treatment method. After all, although it is easy to pull the armor, the old man has already pulled it once, so don't let him suffer twice!
After pressing the bleeding with a clean white cloth, bandage the wound again. Wang Ping'an said: "Old man, I'm going to use acupuncture to prick your acupoints. It doesn't hurt this time, so you don't have to be afraid!"
The old man gritted his teeth and endured the pain. After hearing Wang Ping'an say this, he smiled and said, "The old man is afraid that he can't work and have no food to eat, but he is not afraid of the pain!"
Wang Ping'an took out the needle, first used moxa velvet to disinfect it, and then took the old man's Sanyinjiao and Taichong acupoints. He did not use needles very often, but the technique was still there. When inserting the needle into the acupoint, it was deep first and then shallow, and inserted lightly and lifted heavily. The frequency was fast and the amplitude was large. After getting angry, no needle was left!
Experts can tell if there is any one. Although everyone onlookers are all laymen, even if a doctor doesn’t understand the medical skills, he can still see a little bit!
"Okay, this needle is used well!" some people shouted.
Some even said: "I have seen other doctors use needles, and their techniques are much worse than this. I remember pricking and calling people at that time!"
Some people couldn't help asking when they saw needles when they saw them, "How can such a long needle be pierced into the flesh? "
The old man let out a long breath, looked up at everyone, and said, "It feels good, it's quite comfortable!"
Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "It will not hurt if you have the same pain. You need to use acupuncture for this disease. I am dispersing blood stasis and eliminating inflammation for you, promoting blood circulation and unblocking meridians!"
After a while, he finished using a needle for the old man, and then opened the bandaged white cloth and said, "I want to drain pus for you now. It may cause a lot of blood, but don't be afraid, it's all blood stasis. Although it looks scary, it's not a bad thing!"
This time he used a triangular needle. His needles were given by Lu Xiuzhi. There was nothing short of all the needles, and they were all the highest-grade instruments.
He quickly stabbed with a triangular needle. The place where the stab was red, swollen and painful on the old man's toe. After the needle was lifted, bleeding beads oozed out of the wound. He took the needle away and moved the old man's foot away, saying, "Do not stay too close!"
With a gentle squeeze, a sniffle, a stream of pus and blood spurted out and fell to the ground!
