I run a clinic in the United States

Chapter 258 The more I think about it, the angrier I get, and then...

After Zhou Qiao gave his sister-in-law an answer, he took his sister and set off for the Magic City.

The schedule is also quite tight. After arriving, we check into the hotel, then go to the Bund, Nanjing Road and other places, and take a sightseeing yacht on the Huangpu River. In the evening we go to popular attractions such as the City God Temple and Yu Garden.

Even though the twin girls had seen a lot of people in West Lake, they were still shocked when they came to the Chenghuang Temple in the magical city. They could hardly walk. Then, they learned the idiom "shoulder to shoulder" from Zhou Qiao.

This allusion comes from "Warring States Policy" and "Song History", which shows that there was no shortage of such grand events in ancient times.

Fortunately, the weather has started to get colder again, especially after the sun goes down, which makes people feel like winter again. Wear more clothes to avoid being ripped off.

Elena and Ava are worried that Zhou Qiao will be taken advantage of because there are always girls squeezing into his arms.

Elena whispered softly: "I'm not afraid of getting pregnant!"

Zhou Qiao: "..." Where did you learn these strange words? They are still said in English.

There are also a lot of delicious food here, but you have to wait in line for a long time, and it is not easy to find a seat.

Nanxiang steamed dumplings, fermented glutinous rice dumplings, crab shell roe, small Shaoxing chicken porridge, Modou fried dumplings...

However, they had eaten the pan-fried buns before in Hangzhou, which was called "can't bite." The juice would splash out when they bit into it, so they had to eat it slowly.

Elena and Ava each ordered a large crab soup dumpling, one on a plate, the kind that requires a straw.First suck the delicious soup inside, and then eat the bun skin.

The two of them sucked and sucked, and Elena couldn't help but giggle.

Seeing Ava and Zhou Qiao looking at her, Elena leaned into Ava's ear and whispered a few words, and then the two girls started laughing together, leaving Zhou Qiao confused.

Zhou Qiao couldn't bear it any longer and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Ava whispered in English: "Sister, she said sucking like this is like sucking mother's milk!"

"..." If I go, Zhou Qiao almost faints.

But considering that they are orphans and may not have experienced breast milk since childhood, it is not surprising that they have such expectations.It's quite heartbreaking.

Then, someone looked around in surprise.

Zhou Qiao quickly warned the twin girls: "Don't say these words in public in the future. There are many people who understand English here!"

"Huh?" Elena was embarrassed immediately, but then shrugged, it didn't matter.Anyway, she doesn't consider herself to be a lady.

In the evening they stayed at the Peace Hotel on the bank of the Huangpu River, feeling like they were dreaming back to the Republic of China. Unfortunately, they booked a room a little late and did not get the most expensive Sassoon Presidential Suite, which costs more than 9 yuan a night. They only booked one for more than 3000 yuan. For one night.

This time, Zhou Qiao did not book two rooms, but just one. He and Elena checked in.

Then, Ava went upstairs wearing the same clothes as Elena, and no one thought anything unusual.

The staff in the elevator didn't question it too much.

Zhou Qiao thinks this is a good idea.

However, if you are abroad, it doesn't really matter.The main reason is that domestic control is now stricter.

When Zhou Qiao returned to China this time, he discovered that there are people in the elevators of many hotels in China who are responsible for pressing the elevator. However, pressing the elevator is not their main job. Their main responsibility is to check the identity of the people taking the elevator and check their names and destinations. s room.

Especially when seeing suspicious people, they will question them carefully and even take out their tablets for confirmation.

And these people are definitely not delivery boys.Because the delivery boy usually only delivers to the lobby, and then the robot delivers to the corresponding room.

Zhou Qiao wondered if it was because of the recent Chinese New Year that accidents or bad things were not allowed?Or maybe someone important happened to come to Shanghai?
The next day, they went to Disneyland.That place is not very far from Pudong International Airport, only about ten kilometers. It is very convenient to take a taxi to the airport after playing.

The only drawback is that you can't enjoy the fireworks show at Disney Castle at night.

When Zhou Qiao and the others stepped onto the plane and soared into the night sky, endless Disney fireworks bloomed behind them and below.

They took a flight at 20:30 in the evening, and at this time, it was almost 4:30 in the morning in San Francisco. When they arrived in San Francisco, the BJ time was about 7:30 in the morning, and it was about 15:30 in San Francisco.

In fact, the time is quite good, so we won’t arrive in San Francisco in the middle of the night.

It doesn't matter if a flight arrives in the middle of the night in China, but in San Francisco, arriving in the middle of the night is always a little unsettling, although Zhou Qiao is not afraid.

After the plane took off, Elena and Ava looked at the night sky outside the window, reluctant to leave.

"Qiao, I really haven't had enough fun. There are still many places you mentioned that I haven't gone to, such as Suzhou and Yangzhou..."

"Let's wait until we have the chance next time." Zhou Qiao comforted.

Elena is actually very interested in guzheng, but when she came back this time, she didn't have time to learn it. Zhou Qiao told her that if she really wanted to learn it, she could learn it in the United States in the future. Ling Qingqing, an international student at the University of California, was particularly good at it. Ask the other party for advice.

In addition, there are also some training classes in Chinatown.

On the plane, in the first class cabin, Zhou Qiao, Elena and Ava were all covered with small blankets, lying on chairs and taking a quick nap.

While I was drifting off to sleep, the announcement on the plane rang.

The announcer repeated in Chinese and English: "Is there a doctor on the plane? A passenger is feeling unwell and is in urgent need of medical assistance. If there is a doctor or related practitioner, please contact us immediately."

Zhou Qiao opened his eyes and saw the two girls looking at him. Zhou Qiao immediately pressed the call bell.

Soon, the beautiful flight attendant came over, and Zhou Qiao and the twin girls followed each other to the patient's side.

It was a middle-aged woman in her 30s, also Chinese.

At this moment, the woman's limbs were twitching and her breathing was rapid.

"I'm a doctor. Don't panic. Does your heart beat faster and your hands and feet feel numb?" Zhou Qiao asked.

"That's right, not only my hands and feet, but my mouth is also numb, and I also have a pins and needles feeling." The middle-aged woman replied.

The reason why Zhou Qiao asked was to determine whether her consciousness was clear.It was obvious that although the woman was unwell, her mind was still clear.

"Don't be afraid, relax!" Zhou Qiao looked at the flight attendant, "Do you have a mask?"

"There is!"

"Get a slightly larger clean trash bag."

"Ok."

Soon, the flight attendant brought what Zhou Qiao needed.

Zhou Qiao helped the middle-aged woman put on the mask, and then covered the lower half of her face with a garbage bag, leaving only a small slit on the side. He comforted her and said, "Don't be nervous, just follow my rhythm and watch what I do." Gestures, exhale~, inhale~, exhale~, inhale~..."

At the same time, Elena and Ava were also helping, massaging the patient's hands and thighs respectively to help relieve his numbness and relax his tension.

Under Zhou Qiao's command, the middle-aged woman gradually calmed down after about seven or eight minutes.

Zhou Qiao helped her remove the garbage bag and mask. The middle-aged woman was still frightened. She was scared just now, and she was on the plane again, and she felt that she might fall off.

Fortunately, a doctor saved her in time!
"Thank you!" The middle-aged woman looked gratefully at Zhou Qiao, Elena, Ava, and the flight attendants.

"You're welcome." Zhou Qiao waved his hand and comforted, "Drink some hot water and slowly move your limbs. You should be fully recovered later."

"Thank you." The middle-aged woman thanked her again. She was very grateful, but looked at Zhou Qiao with confusion and asked, "Doctor, why did I do that just now? Is there a serious illness? Do I need to go to the hospital for further examination?"

Zhou Qiao asked: "Have you had a physical examination before? What is your medical history?"

"I have physical examinations every year, and I have no medical history. I have always been healthy!"

Zhou Qiao said: "That shouldn't be a big problem, it's just simple respiratory alkalosis."

"Poisoned?" The middle-aged woman was shocked.

Zhou Qiao quickly comforted: "Don't be nervous, this is just a medical term. Simply put, it means that you exhale too much carbon dioxide. It is usually caused by emotional excitement, tension and anxiety, which leads to breathing too deep or too fast. Wear a mask and Wearing a garbage bag is just to allow you to breathe back the carbon dioxide you exhale, increase the inhalation of carbon dioxide, and return to normal. Have you encountered something?"

The middle-aged woman suddenly looked ashamed, hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Before getting on the plane, I had a fight with my sister-in-law, and then the more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and that's it."

"That's it. Mental exhaustion can also kill people. If you take a step back, the world will be brighter..." Zhou Qiao said a few words of comfort, and returned to his seat amidst the thanks from the middle-aged woman and the flight attendant.

As for family conflicts and the relationship between sister-in-law and sister-in-law, he really has no interest in asking about it.

Passengers around: "..." They were speechless.

Can you make yourself so angry?

"Are you poisoning yourself with anger?"

"This is the first time I have seen severe symptoms of anger. It seems that Zhuge Liang cursed Wang Lang to death. Wang Lang may not have had a heart attack, but it may also be respiratory alkalosis."

Respiratory alkalosis, if not treated or sought medical treatment in time, can indeed threaten people's lives in severe cases.

...In the afterglow of the setting sun, Zhou Qiao and the others arrived at the Iris Clinic and distributed souvenirs to everyone. They were various specialties from China, such as exquisite folding fans, silk pajamas, silk scarves, lake pens, special pastries, West Lake Longjing, and white tea. , dried bamboo shoots, pecans of various flavors...

Murphy and Stephanie each wore a set of silk pajamas and scarves, and looked at Zhou Qiao with eyes filled with resentment.

With their intelligence, they naturally knew that Zhou Qiao had already happened with the twin girls.

"Hmph, this period of time with Elena and Ava is like a honeymoon. They left me at home and let me dry for half a month..." Stephanie felt that her second personality was about to move again, Zhou Qiao If she doesn't come back, there will be problems with her condition.

Now that Zhou Qiao is back, she wants to make up for the "missing" these days.

Murphy's expression was cold, and he was vaguely aware that his autism seemed to be "returning". The effect of the "Fantastic Flower Sachet" clothing therapy was becoming less and less effective. It was Zhou Qiao's "human medicine" that was more effective.

Zhou Qiao was in a dilemma. On his first night back, should he go to a hotel and book a room with Stephanie, or go to Murphy's new house?
I was thinking in my heart that it was time to buy Stephanie a new house.

The woman who follows him has a house and a car. This is the basic configuration.You can't favor one over the other.

……

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Yang Xuejun came to Hu Qingyutang Famous Medical Center for his third session of acupuncture.

She went to get the medicine on the third day of the Lunar New Year and had a second acupuncture session. Then, Dr. Xu asked her to come back on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year for the last session, which should be enough.

Because Dr. Xu had something to do on the fourth and fifth day of the Lunar New Year. After all, it was during the Chinese New Year and it was impossible for him to go to work so regularly.

The Chinese medicine brought back was very unpleasant to drink and smelled quite unpleasant, but Yang Xuejun knew that the medicine was very effective.It was not simply because "good medicine tastes bitter but is good for the disease", but she actually felt it.

She was now blushing for longer and longer, especially within one or two hours after taking the medicine. Her whole face was so "peach blossom", so pink and tender that she could even look at it herself. like.

Therefore, my interest in Chinese medicine became more and more intense, and I became more able to learn it by myself.

Since she was too tired to drive and had to find a parking space, the parking fee was also a huge expense, so she came by bus this time.

I have to say that the bus is in decline.Especially for this short distance of less than [-] kilometers, she was the only one in the car during the Chinese New Year, it was like a chartered car!
She brought a copy of "Acupuncture Classics A and B" and read it in the car.I have never paid so much attention to the college entrance examination before.

She looked at it and couldn't help but laugh to herself. If she had been one-third as energetic as she is now during the college entrance examination, she would probably have passed the 985 exam!
It was still the same acupuncture points as last time. Dr. Xu first wiped and disinfected the silver needle with an alcohol cotton ball, then used the method of flattening and assisting with diarrhea, gently twisting the silver needle, and acupuncture the Baihui point on the top of Yang Xuejun's head, and then on the lower abdomen. The air sea cave on the top.

This acupoint is quite special, as it is the closest to the uterus among several acupuncture points, so Dr. Xu often massages her first, then uses the sparrow peck method to warm her body, and finally acupuncture.

During the massage, Yang Xuejun was slightly stunned, because she keenly discovered that Doctor Xu's technique this time was different from the previous two times.

"Hey~, why can I feel the subtle changes in her technique?" Yang Xuejun herself was surprised, because she really didn't learn Chinese medicine for a long time, no more than five days.

"According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, massage actually belongs to the 'pressing the Qi' technique among the six techniques of Qihuang. The first two times, Dr. Xu only used five techniques. This time, he added another six, for a total of eleven techniques. Oh, No, there is one more 'pulling' method, there are twelve."

Yang Xuejun carefully comprehended and gained a deeper understanding of the method of pressing the rock in the six techniques of Qi and Huang.

She had learned a lot about it from the book. She knew these techniques from reading before, but the ones she imagined or practiced on her own were different from Dr. Xu's.

Generally speaking, the technique of massage is to use the five fingers to act on specific parts of the human body surface to adjust the physiological and pathological conditions of the body, so as to achieve the purpose of physical therapy. However, massage in traditional medicine should be called "massage massage" to be precise. ", but there are many kinds, not only "push", "take", "press" and "rubbing", but also include rubbing, rubbing, kneading, pinching, tapping, patting, shaking, buckling, pulling, rolling, etc. Pinch, scrape, flick, pull, pull, lift, move, break, manage tendons...many techniques, profound and subtle, flexible and versatile, the wonderful use of which can dredge meridians, promote qi and blood, support injuries and relieve pain. , dispel evil and strengthen the body, and reconcile yin and yang.

For example, if Elena has a sprained ankle, she can "lift" her foot up to allow the blood to flow backwards, thereby relieving the pain. This is a type of "pressing on the stilts" in traditional Chinese medicine.

Tai Chi pays attention to "folding" the wrist and "flexing". By changing various postures, the circulation of qi and blood is adjusted, which is also connected with many medical theories of traditional medicine.

In about 10 minutes, Dr. Xu finished acupuncture on the acupuncture points that she had given her, but did not stop and continued acupuncture on the next acupoint.

"Doctor Xu, you didn't give me acupuncture at Taixi point last time, right?" Yang Xuejun couldn't help but asked.

"Huh?" Doctor Xu was stunned and asked curiously, "Do you know this is Taixi Point?"

She remembered that it had not been mentioned to her before.

Yang Xuejun nodded and said: "Taixi point is one of the commonly used points on the foot Shaoyin kidney meridian. In the depression between the ankle area, the tip of the medial malleolus and the Achilles tendon, there are distribution of the posterior tibial artery and vein; Medial cutaneous nerve of the calf, tibial nerve. You just stabbed about 0.6 inches straight, using the 'cut and turn' purgative method. Acupuncture at this point is mainly used to treat kidney deficiency syndrome. Doctor Xu, do I have kidney yin deficiency?"

Doctor Xu was stunned for a long time before he said meaningfully: "You don't have kidney yin deficiency, but the dark circles under your eyes are a bit heavy. I took your pulse just now and found that your pulse is stringy and thin, and your tongue is pale and has thin coating. This acupuncture point is suitable for Daling and Shenmen. , Taichong, and Zhishi treat insomnia, I will give you acupuncture on several other acupoints later."

"Ah?" Yang Xuejun reacted and couldn't help but admire Dr. Xu even more, but also felt a little ashamed.

Because Dr. Xu had told her before, don't stay up late, don't stay up late, but she had been thinking too much these days, either thinking about Zhou Qiao or thinking about traditional medicine, and she really had insomnia.

Insomnia is what Chinese medicine calls insomnia.

Unexpectedly, Dr. Xu also gave her acupuncture for insomnia.

Dr. Xu continued, just applying acupuncture and asking: "How many acupuncture points can you identify?"

Yang Xuejun thought for a moment and said, "Two or three hundred."

Dr. Xu was shocked and thought, although there are many acupuncture points in the human body, 720 in total, there are only more than 300 commonly used acupuncture points. You only remember two or three hundred?
"So much? How long did it take you?" Dr. Xu asked calmly and lightly.

"On the first day of the new year, you gave me acupuncture. I became interested in it, so I went to the library to borrow some medical books to read."

"What medical books are there?"

"There are "Shen Nong Baicao Jing", "Difficult Jing", "Zhong Zang Jing", "Pulse Meridian", "Huang Di Acupuncture Jing Jia B", "Huang Di Nei Jing Tai Su", etc., but I haven't finished reading them yet."

"What acupoint is this?" Doctor Xu tapped the silver needle lightly and continued to use the needle.

"This is the Taichong point you just mentioned. It is located on the dorsal side of the foot, in the depression before the junction of the first and second metatarsals. It is one of the important points on the Liver Meridian of Foot Jueyin in the human body. It is mainly used to treat headaches, dizziness, hernia, and menstruation. For symptoms such as irregularity, constriction, infantile convulsions, mania, epilepsy, hypochondriac pain, abdominal distension, jaundice, etc., you are now using the 'slightly rotating and pushing' tonic method."

Doctor Xu: "..."

The order she just mentioned was "Daling, Shenmen, Taichong, Zhishi". This time, Taichong was targeted first, just for the sake of comparison. Unexpectedly, this young girl still recognized it. Not only did she recognize it, but she also recognized it. I said a lot, and they were all correct.

"Where is this place?" Doctor Xu tapped the silver needle lightly, not at any of the acupoints mentioned before.

"This is the Rangu point, published in "Lingshu·Benshu", also known as Longyuan and Rangu. It belongs to the foot Shaoyin kidney meridian and is the Ying point. It is on the medial edge of the foot, below the tuberosity of the navicular bone, between the red and white flesh. This Acupuncture points can also treat irregular menstruation, but they are not suitable for my condition."

"Where is this place?" Doctor Xu changed places and pointed to one of the acupuncture points on her hand.

"This is Shang Yang point..."

"here!"

"Yangxi Point..."

"here."

"Guanchong point..."

A magical scene took place in the acupuncture room of Hu Qingyutang Famous Medical Center. No matter which acupuncture point the silver needle in Dr. Xu's hand pointed at, Yang Xuejun could accurately identify it and tell its function.

It can be said that "read wherever you click", just like a point reading machine.

Doctor Xu pointed out more than two hundred points at once, of which only nine were relatively obscure acupuncture points. Yang Xuejun could not recognize them, but he could memorize the rest!

"Dr. Xu, when you massaged my Qihai point just now, you used seven more techniques than last time..." Yang Xuejun struck while the iron was hot and expressed his understanding of the traditional Chinese medicine method of massage.

Doctor Xu's eyes suddenly brightened. With such talent and talent, he is truly a genius of Chinese medicine!

"Don't leave later. Let's have a meal together at noon and have a chat." Doctor Xu nodded and smiled.

"That's great, thank you teacher!" Yang Xuejun immediately felt blessed and exclaimed in surprise.

"I haven't said that I would accept you as my disciple!" Doctor Xu slapped her angrily.

"If you don't accept me as your disciple, why did you invite me to dinner? Is it because I'm pretty?" Yang Xuejun made a strange face.My heart said, if you were a man, I would still think this way, but what bad thoughts could an old woman have after seeing her "excellent" medical talent?

She guessed it right!Dr. Xu, a nationally renowned Chinese medicine doctor, just had the idea of ​​recruiting a disciple.

Since there were still patients coming, Dr. Xu asked Yang Xuejun to wait aside and did not let her go out.

This is a ready-made teaching opportunity.

Then, a magical scene happened again.

The patient waiting outside became impatient and finally came in by himself. Then he was surprised to see that the patient who was in front of him had put on an old white coat at some point and followed Dr. Xu.He looks like a well-behaved little apprentice.

While Dr. Xu was performing acupuncture on himself, he was also explaining to the previous patient, "Let me go, what kind of magical operation is this?"
Is this because I came to see a doctor and became a disciple?

This patient also wanted to learn Chinese medicine and become a disciple, but Dr. Xu ignored her.

"Dr. Xu, do you really not want to consider accepting me as your disciple?" The patient asked unwillingly.

Doctor Xu said: "It is not impossible to accept you as my disciple. Next time you come for acupuncture, tell me the names and functions of a hundred acupuncture points, and I will agree to it."

When I went there, the patient suddenly became silent. He said forget it. He wouldn't accept it if he didn't want to. What does it mean to deliberately make things difficult for others?
Yang Xuejun covered his mouth and snickered.

a hundred?This is lowering the requirements, right?I am two to three hundred!
