Chapter 57: Sealing Acupoints and Locking Meridians
It takes thirteen needles to seal the acupoints, and there are still three needles left. Logically, this abnormal phenomenon should not occur.
The ruptured artery in Professor Bei Ke's brain was the internal carotid artery, which is less harmful than a ruptured vertebral artery. However, the blood pressure in the internal carotid artery is higher and the blood flow is faster.
It is naturally more difficult to stop the bleeding.
Li Quan's acupuncture skills had not been advanced before and were only at the entry level. He could only perform the simplest acupoint sealing techniques.
The tip of the first silver needle kept vibrating, making him feel a little uneasy.
This scene was like a powerful treasure that had been suppressing a thousand-year-old monster. As a result, the monster broke through the seal and was about to escape, and the treasure was about to be unable to suppress the monster.
Unknown dangers are approaching at an accelerated pace.
As Li Quan carefully checked whether each silver needle was inserted in the wrong place, Professor Bei Ke's face became darker red, even weird. The painful expression appeared on his face again.
Something must be wrong.
Li Quan frowned and took Bei Ke's pulse again.
"Xiao Li, is there something wrong with the acupuncture?" Professor Tang also noticed that something was wrong.
"It seems that the silver needle I inserted can no longer seal the Tianchong acupoint!" Li Quan's tone was particularly heavy.
I thought it was a small matter that could be easily accomplished, but unexpectedly something unexpected happened.
After all, it was the first time I performed acupuncture, and I was still lacking in experience and proficiency.
"Don't worry, think of another way!" Professor Tang had seen all kinds of dangerous situations before, so he seemed very calm. "Secretary Chen, can you contact the People's Hospital and ask them to have an experienced surgeon waiting in the operating room?"
Secretary Chen was a little confused.
"What do you mean?"
Professor Tang is a professor of medicine at Huier Hospital and has superb medical skills. Although the local People's Hospital is also a tertiary hospital, it is far inferior to Huier.
Why do we need a temporary surgeon?
Could it be that Professor Tang saw that things were not going well and wanted to push this operation to someone else?
Secretary Chen's subtle expression did not escape Professor Tang's eyes.
"Professor Bei Ke's condition suddenly worsened. After all, I am an internist. Although I can perform surgery, craniotomy and thoracotomy are both surgical specialties. Having a professional surgeon to help with the craniotomy can greatly shorten the operation time and increase the chances of successfully rescuing the patient."
After his explanation, Secretary Chen suddenly understood.
"Okay, I'll call and coordinate right away!"
She naturally called the office of the People's Hospital without mentioning it.
If you want to mobilize the medical resources of a tertiary hospital, it is not something that the hospital front desk can do. Only the hospital office has this power.
Li Quan is concentrating on diagnosing what the problem is?
"puff!"
A very slight sound came from Professor Bei Ke's brain, and Bei Ke's body shook violently.
Then, the whole person showed an extremely painful expression and fell into a coma.
The silver needle inserted into the Tianchong acupoint stopped vibrating.
Li Quan was watching from the side, and his heart was trembling with fear. Even his palms began to sweat.
Professor Tang and Secretary Chen also felt heavy-hearted when they saw this.
The patient's condition took a turn for the worse, which no one had expected.
"Check again!"
Li Quan took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
The business car sped along the highway, the driver honked the horn all the way, and even ignored the red light and rushed through.
Everyone in the car knew that the sooner the patient was sent to the hospital, the higher the chances of successful rescue would be.
Everyone is racing against time and death.
"Hey... the Tianchong acupoint has been broken!" Li Quan was shocked to find that the Tianchong acupoint had been broken violently after taking the pulse. He thought about it carefully, and a flash of inspiration came to his mind.
The reason seems to have been found.
He sealed the Tianchong acupoint with the technique of sealing acupoints, which was like blocking the outlet of a lake.
The patient already had high blood pressure, and his blood pressure rose rapidly due to repeated emotional excitement.
The blood flow rate must be faster.
The point sealed was an important artery, and after a long time, the "lake" overflowed and was directly burst.
Professor Bei Ke's temple began to bulge upwards at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the congestion of his eyelids became even more frightening.
The intracranial hemorrhage got out of control again, even more violently than before.
Using simple acupuncture point sealing techniques will definitely not work.
what to do?
A lot of acupuncture knowledge and case experiences that he had never had before flashed through Li Quan's mind.
This is the new knowledge gained after the upgrade of acupuncture.
"Seal the acupoints and lock the meridians!"
A new acupuncture plan emerged in his mind.
To be more precise, it should be acupuncture plan.
Because acupuncture is the general term for acupuncture and moxibustion. The two are actually separate.
Acupuncture is the core and the foundation, while moxibustion is auxiliary.
Just sealing the caves is like Gun controlling floods in ancient times. Simply blocking them will not stop the floods. We must also learn how to drain them.
Sealing the acupoints means blocking, while locking the meridians means stopping the flow.
Prevent blood from flowing to the acupuncture points that need to be sealed.
In this way, blood will no longer flow into the "lake" and will no longer burst the acupuncture points.
After sorting out his thoughts, Li Quan began to give acupuncture quickly again.
Since the Tianchong point has been damaged, let’s seal the next point - Fubai.
The Fubai point is located deeper in the brain than the Tianchong point. Li Quan took out a six-inch silver needle.
Fortunately, his acupuncture skills had just evolved and reached a minor level of success.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to insert the six-inch silver needle properly.
The injection had an immediate effect, and Professor Bei Ke's condition was stabilized and under control again.
However, Li Quan knew that this was only a temporary calm.
If the blood vessels leading to the Fubai acupoint are not blocked immediately, the crisis will come again soon.
The patient is already old and cannot withstand the torture.
He inserted three-inch, four-inch, and one-and-a-half-inch silver needles into the patient's brain, shoulders, and neck one after another. After inserting seventeen silver needles, he finally succeeded in sealing the acupoints and locking the meridians.
After the acupuncture was completed, Li Quan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that there should be no problem this time.
Just now, another wave of skill points increased.
I had seventeen injections in total, and each time I gained 10 skill points. I should be able to reach the next level.
He subconsciously checked the several miraculous medical skills he had learned.
【Uterine manipulation, entry level 11%】
【Children's visual diagnosis technique, entry level 65%. 】
【Pulse diagnosis, entry-level 21%.】
【Acupuncture, small success rate 18%. 】
After reading it, Li Quan was speechless. The progress bar of the pulse diagnosis technique was only 21%.
In total, he took Professor Bei Ke's pulse more than five times.
Why are there only 10 skill points added in total?
Does it mean that taking the pulse of the same patient within a short period of time will only increase the skill point once?
Since there is such a rule, why can acupuncture continue to be upgraded?
He discovered that after acupuncture reached the minor success level, the difficulty of upgrading actually increased tenfold.
After seventeen injections of silver needles, the upgrade progress bar increased by 17 percentage points.
Every injection increases the rate by one percentage point.
Although the difficulty of upgrading has increased tenfold, this skill is still the easiest to upgrade among all the skills. Because if you just find a patient and give him or her eight or ten needles at a time.
After the minor success stage, I don’t know what stage is next?
This small achievement is already so impressive, the next level will definitely be even more amazing, I am really looking forward to it.
I heard that Huang Fumi, the founder of acupuncture in ancient times, could determine life or death with a single needle.
