Chapter 308: Smell the diagnosis technique and send his whole family to hell
[Auscultation, can diagnose the patient's disease by listening to sounds and distinguishing tastes. Requires 5 points of favorability, can be exchanged.]
[The art of collecting herbs, which allows you to master the methods of collecting various herbs and the growing environment of the herbs. Requires 10 points of favorability, which can be exchanged.]
[Medicine identification skills, can identify all common and rare herbs and medicines in the world, and understand the medicinal properties. Requires 20 points of favorability, can be exchanged. ]
…
After searching around, he didn't find the Chinese medicine prescriptions and medical skills that Li Quan wanted. Instead, he found a lot of techniques for collecting and identifying herbs.
This ancient medicine saint was clearly a master of traditional Chinese medicine, so how come he didn’t have any miraculous medical skills such as prescriptions?
Li Quan couldn't figure it out.
Although the art of identifying medicines includes the ability to understand the properties of medicines, the properties of medicines and pharmacology are two completely different concepts.
The so-called medicinal properties refer to the efficacy and characteristics of this medicine.
Pharmacology, however, is very different. It refers to the specific use of this medicine in treating patients.
Pharmacology is medical science.
For example, the patient is diagnosed with a cold, commonly known as a common cold.
There are many medicines that can treat colds, but if a thousand people are infected with colds, the combination of medicines they use may be different. This requires a doctor's experience in using medicines and pharmacology.
Mulberry leaves, a traditional Chinese medicine, can treat colds.
However, its medicinal properties are sweet and cold.
In practice, if you give mulberry leaves to a patient with cold, it would be like giving the wrong medicine.
Because mulberry leaves can cure wind-heat colds.
The patient is suffering from a cold, and his body has been invaded by cold air. You are giving him cold herbs. Isn't that adding fuel to the fire?
Therefore, understanding the properties of a drug does not mean understanding its pharmacology.
Even an experienced Chinese medicine practitioner who has been practicing for thirty or forty years would never dare to say that he is proficient in pharmacology.
Because the pharmacology is too complicated.
The example given above is the simplest pharmacological application. There are more complicated ones. For example, if a patient coughs up blood, Imperata root can be used to treat the coughing up blood.
But as the saying goes, every medicine is poisonous.
Imperata root can certainly cure diseases, but it is also toxic. How can you make it cure diseases while eliminating its toxic side effects?
Simple, add other herbs to neutralize and weaken its toxicity.
What kind of herb should be added to ensure that its toxicity is neutralized without causing other harm to the patient? This requires doctors to have a good understanding of medical principles.
If you want to be more advanced, adding one or two herbs can not only neutralize the toxicity of Imperata root, but also have a certain auxiliary therapeutic effect on the patient's condition.
For example, cough suppressants.
There are more things to consider, and the pharmacological requirements for doctors will also be higher.
This is also why some prescriptions are particularly valuable.
Famous prescriptions are generally combinations of traditional Chinese medicine that have been clinically tested by doctors and have been shown to be effective.
Not only is the pharmacological combination extremely sophisticated and perfect, but even the dosage of each medicine in this prescription has also been optimized and calculated thousands of times, as well as clinically tested.
This is how we get the final high-quality prescription.
It can be seen that the reason why the prescription is valuable is that it is only more difficult than developing a new drug in modern times.
In modern times, the development of a new drug is often a team or even multiple teams working together, with the help of a large number of advanced instruments and data analysis, which can lead to successful development.
What was there in ancient times?
Some of them are just a pair of hands and a head of the doctors.
It may take a lifetime or even several generations of effort to develop a good prescription .
He Youlong offered a high price of 100 million yuan for the secret recipe of weight-loss pills that Li Quan learned from Tao Hongjing, which was not excessive.
Just look at the weight loss pills that Hangu Group spent a lot of effort to develop and you will understand.
Hangu Group is a modern pharmaceutical company. If it wants to develop a drug, it will definitely collect all the prescriptions for weight loss drugs from ancient times to the present. Then it will analyze them, take the essence and discard the dross.
Finally, combining their own pharmacological knowledge, the entire team worked together to create a prescription with the best effect.
This is equivalent to running on the shoulders of countless ancient Chinese medicine practitioners.
Even so, the weight loss drug produced by Hangu Group is still less than one-tenth as effective as Li Quan's secret recipe.
It can be seen that the ancient secret recipes are not ordinary prescriptions that are common on the street. It is not something that a few Chinese medicine practitioners can come up with. Just like reading, this requires a very high level of talent.
Only those prescriptions created by great Chinese medicine practitioners with countless efforts and energy, and after many improvements and optimizations, are qualified to be called secret recipes.
It may not be an easy task for Li Quan to learn the miraculous medical skills of prescriptions.
This is probably one of the reasons why Li Shizhen did not have any medical skills such as prescriptions.
Because all these ancient doctors with real skills were very modest. The more they studied pharmacology and the more they understood it, the more they felt that pharmacology was as deep as the ocean.
"I only have 5 points of Li Shizhen's favorability. What kind of miracle doctor skill should I learn?"
It seems that the only thing Li Quan can exchange now is the art of smell diagnosis.
Other divine healing skills also start with at least 10 points of favorability. The better the divine healing skill, the more expensive it is.
Of course, there is a reason why it is expensive.
The more expensive the miracle doctor's skills are, the more powerful they are.
For example, Li Quan spent 100 points of favorability to learn two miracle medical skills, specialized treatment of pediatric blood diseases and surgical skills, both of which are top-level miracle medical skills.
At present, specialized treatment for childhood blood diseases has been verified.
The medical theory for treating leukemia is world-leading.
Moreover, it is hundreds or even thousands of years ahead of the most developed medical technology in the United States for treating leukemia.
The selective immunotherapy proposed by Professor Axon and his team in the United States is to develop a drug that specifically repairs the patient's immune deficiency, thereby achieving the goal of improving the patient's immunity.
Thereby curing the patient.
This concept is very advanced. But it can only treat a certain type of leukemia. It has great limitations.
There are even almost insurmountable difficulties that have not been resolved.
In other words, this advanced concept of treating leukemia may remain on paper forever.
Let’s take a look at the specialized treatment concepts for childhood blood diseases that Li Quan learned.
It can directly improve the patient's comprehensive immunity, which is almost equivalent to curing all diseases. Almost all leukemias can be cured.
This is many times more advanced than the United States, which can only treat a certain type of leukemia.
"I'll have to learn the art of smell diagnosis sooner or later anyway. I won't make any money if I keep these 5 points of favorability here, so I might as well get the tangible benefits first. If I learn the art of smell diagnosis, I'll have mastered all my diagnostic medical skills."
Li Quan has already learned the techniques of taking pulses and diagnosing by observation.
Then learn the art of diagnosis by smell.
The four medical skills of ancient Chinese medicine diagnosis: observation, auscultation, questioning and palpation.
Among them, the questioning technique is the only diagnostic method that does not need to be learned, because the questioning technique is to ask the patient about his condition, medical history, physical symptoms, etc.
Even when modern doctors see patients, the first thing they do is to ask questions.
Ask the patient how old he is, where he feels uncomfortable, whether he has any medical history, etc.
【exchange!】
Li Quan did not hesitate any longer and decisively exchanged for the smell diagnosis technique.
A huge stream of information poured into his brain, which was then slowly digested by him and turned into his own knowledge.
"You can diagnose the patient's disease by listening to the sound and distinguishing the taste."
This is the approximate ability of the diagnosis by smell technique.
In the past, Li Quan had always thought that olfactory diagnosis was to judge the patient's condition and lesions by listening to the sound. Now he knows that in addition to listening to the sound, you can also diagnose the disease by smelling the smell.
One time he saw in the news that there was a profession called fart smeller abroad.
You can judge whether a person is healthy by smelling his or her farts and judging by the smell.
At that time, Li Quan thought it was disgusting and nonsense.
Now that I have learned the art of olfaction, I understand that smelling the odor can really diagnose the patient's condition.
Listening to the sound is not just listening to the patient's voice.
You can also listen to the patient's breathing, abdominal sounds, bone sounds, etc., and then judge where the patient's lesions are and whether the condition is serious.
For example, by listening to whether there are ringing sounds in the patient's lungs, we can roughly diagnose the patient's lung condition.
Too much moisture or lung infection with pus and sputum may cause various noises in the patient's lungs.
As for smelling, it's not just about smelling the stench of the patient's farts.
There is also the patient's sweat, body odor, hair grease, foot odor, etc., which can be used to diagnose what disease the patient has.
"I will have one more method to diagnose patients in the future, and my accuracy will be higher. After I cure Sophie's leukemia, I will return to work in the emergency department for a while."
Although the work in the emergency department is very tiring and it is easy for conflicts between doctors and patients to occur, being scolded and beaten is a common occurrence.
However, the emergency department is definitely a good place to practice your skills as a miracle doctor and quickly gain experience points.
In other departments, perhaps only a few patients can be diagnosed in a day.
In the emergency department, seeing hundreds of patients a day is considered rare. At most, there may be two or three hundred.
Li Quan still likes the emergency department the most.
Anyway, he has real skills, and his pulse diagnosis skills have reached the master level. The chance of misjudging is not to say that there is no chance, but at least it is very small.
As long as you are careful, misdiagnosis or wrong diagnosis is unlikely to happen.
As for saving people, just do your best.
Li Quan suppressed the urge to find a patient right away to try out the smell diagnosis technique, and continued reading the Compendium of Materia Medica.
Time passed by one o'clock, and Li Quan was very focused when reading.
It would be great if I could get some extra favorability rewards from Li Shizhen and learn the art of identifying medicines.
Li Quan was sure that there was something wrong with Hangu Group’s weight loss pills.
However, due to my limited ability to identify medicines, I have not been able to find out where the problem lies.
If you can learn the art of identifying medicines, it will be very convenient to identify various medicines in the future and you can use it at any time. And there is a great chance that you can find out all the ingredients of Han Gu Group's weight loss drugs.
It will not be difficult to find the problem then.
Just then, Li Quan's cell phone rang.
He took out his cell phone and saw that it was the area code of his hometown.
It has been a long time since I last contacted my parents back home.
Li Quan felt secretly guilty.
His parents had worked hard to raise him and send him to college. Now that he had made it big, he naturally wanted to repay his parents for their kindness.
I guess after a while, after I buy a house, I can bring my parents to the city to live a good life.
If his parents like life in the countryside, Li Quan will take out some money to tear down the old house in the countryside and rebuild it.
Then I give my parents some living expenses every month.
But even if he really became a billionaire, the living expenses he gave to his parents every month would not be too high, because giving too much might not be a blessing, but might bring disaster to them.
The countryside is not like the city. If something happens in someone's family, it will spread immediately to everyone in the surrounding area.
My parents are not well educated, they are kind and simple-hearted, and have no idea how sinister people are in this society.
If you give them too much money, they will definitely be reluctant to spend it.
If you keep it in your hands, disaster will come.
Li Quan has read books and studied history, and he is very intelligent. He will never make these low-level mistakes.
Answer it quickly.
"Hey, is that you, Gouwazi?" an older voice asked timidly.
Li Quan recognized it as his father's voice.
Country people are particularly superstitious and believe that giving their children ugly nicknames will make them easier to raise. There are a lot of names like "狗仔" and "羊仔".
Li Quan was very unfortunate. His parents gave him the nickname "Gou Wa Zi" since he was a child.
Even though he is in his twenties now, his parents and familiar fellow villagers still call him "Dog Boy" when they see him.
"Dad, it's me, it's me. Are you and mom okay?" Li Quan's heart was filled with warmth when he heard his father's voice. He was also filled with deep attachment to his home and deep longing for his relatives.
At the same time, Li Quan also heard that there was something wrong with his father's voice.
Normally he might not notice it.
But now, he had learned the art of olfaction and could tell that his father's voice sounded a little depressed, with a lack of breath, and that there were obvious abnormal pauses when he spoke.
According to the experience in olfactory diagnosis, this is a person who is injured and is suppressing his speech because of the pain in his body.
It's like speaking while enduring the pain.
As for lack of internal energy, injury means "body damage". It is like a tire with a hole in it, some air is leaking.
When rolling, it will naturally appear less firm and tough.
If there are obvious abnormal pauses when speaking, it is because the injury is affected and the pain causes pauses.
"Something's wrong. Is my dad injured?"
Li Quan's heart suddenly tightened.
[You have successfully performed the art of auscultation, skill points +10. ]
As Li Quan diagnosed, Dad was really injured.
If it were any other time, Li Quan would be very happy to have earned the skill points for the Divine Doctor Skill. But at this moment, his heart seemed to be tightly grasped by a big hand, and he felt very depressed and uncomfortable.
"My son, your mother and I are fine, don't worry..." Dad Li Tiezhu was ready to hide it from his son.
The phone number is a mobile phone number. My parents are reluctant to install a landline, so how could they be willing to spend money on a mobile phone?
He must have borrowed someone else's phone to make this call.
“Hey hey…” Before the old man could finish his words, bursts of screams were heard.
It sounded like someone was trying to steal his things and he was shouting in panic.
"Li Tiezhu, you were beaten up like this, and you still kept it a secret from your son. Do you really want to wait until you are beaten to death, and then notify your son to come back and attend your funeral?"
A slightly angry voice sounded.
Like a broken gong.
Li Quan recognized it as his fifth uncle's voice.
My father wasn't injured from falling or working, but was beaten?
boom!
Li Quan's heart was instantly filled with rage, burning fiercely. A terrifying murderous aura emanated from his body.
Who hurt my father?
I must make him live a life worse than death.
Li Quan now has money, strength, and connections.
He even helped get the position of deputy political commissar of the police station.
Now someone has actually injured his father. This is like challenging the Emperor's will and is courting death.
"Uncle Wu, Uncle Wu, please tell me clearly, who beat up my father?" Li Quan asked into the phone.
He clenched his fists so tightly that veins bulged.
Like an enraged lion.
No matter who hurt his father, he would avenge him.
"Don't ask so many questions, you little bastard. Come back quickly. The Hong family has threatened that if your father doesn't agree, he will sleep in a coffin. Today's beating is just the first one. I'm afraid tomorrow's beating will be even more severe."
Uncle Five said to Li Quan on the phone.
Are you going to beat me even harder tomorrow? Are you going to make my dad sleep in a coffin?
Li Quan was like a demon from hell. If anyone dared to ask his father to sleep in a coffin, he would send that person's entire family to hell.
