The previous talk about the lookout, the four diagnoses there are three remaining diagnoses – smell and cut, smell and cut in general is mainly the doctor’s business, the patient remember to see a Chinese medicine doctor when the body does not spray perfume can be. The question of diagnosis is the biggest problem, the following talk about the questioning of things. I will be more detailed when asking the doctor, Chinese medicine is to look at the sick person, so the organs, limbs and joints and your past illnesses are closely related to the eye disease, not isolated from each other, the person itself is an organic whole well. Western medicine is very detailed and unconnected to each other, I often describe it like an assembled robot, each part can be separated, leg problems can only see orthopedics, treatment of ophthalmology is not possible to cure the leg, but Chinese medicine is not like this, you may be treated in the eye decades of other diseases will be cured, this is the holistic view of Chinese medicine. Once the patient understands this, then when the doctor asks you what is wrong with your whole body or what diseases you have suffered from in the past, you should tell the truth, such as having diabetes, having a gastrectomy, having an enlarged prostate, etc. Please tell the whole story and don’t make any distinctions because you don’t know what is useful to the doctor and what is not. The book of Chinese medicine has ten questions in the content of the consultation song, you can say that basically all asked, but the clinical because of the number of patients, it is impossible to do, the doctor asked most of the questions are the focus, then your answer should have the skills, what skills? It is the truth! For example: Q: How is the stool? A: Normal. The spleen and stomach are closely related to macular disease, and the efficacy of prescribing drugs according to such an answer will be greatly reduced, and only when you turn back and ask again will you inform that the stools are 2~3 times a day, unformed, because the patient’s condition has lasted for more than 20 years, so he thinks it is normal, while it is already very abnormal in the doctor’s eyes. So don’t use your own standard judgment when answering, but tell the truth. There is also the case of menstruation, similar to the question above, where the menstrual cycle is 24 days, and because it has lasted for several years, the patient considers it normal and has to be asked again by the doctor: how many days does it come and what is the amount before she will tell the exact one. The following is a case from which we can see the holistic view of Chinese medicine. I met a female patient from Shandong, 46 years old, with early menstruation and low volume; insomnia for 20 years, hyperthyroidism… She was diagnosed with dry eye and checked the tear film rupture time, basal tear secretion and reflex tear secretion were all 0. What is the concept? First, can’t open the eyes, open it and it hurts; second, dry crying without tears. After 3 weeks of medication, the tear film rupture time reached 4 seconds, menstruation returned to normal, 20 years of insomnia was cured, and hyperthyroidism was rechecked and only one index was slightly high. Why is this so? In fact, this patient has a Yin deficiency with heat, so much so that there is not even a single tear. Premature menstruation is a fire, low volume indicates a lack of Yin, and insomnia indicates an imbalance of Yin and Yang. In Chinese medicine, Yang entering Yin is called sleeping, and Yang coming out of Yin is called awakening. The patient’s Yin deficiency makes Yang unable to enter, so insomnia; Yin deficiency leads to Yang hyperactivity, so the patient has a hot image, such as large temper and irritability, fast heart rate and irritability, and other manifestations of hyperthyroidism. Therefore, the pathogenesis of several seemingly unrelated diseases is the same, so treating one disease will make the other diseases better.
