Chapter 72: The Medical Master of Tai Chi
In the shamanic practice, there is a method for treating fractures that caught Tang Zheng's attention. This method involves stimulating nerve regeneration through acupuncture. In ancient times, wild beasts roamed freely and humans lived in harsh environments, often resulting in warriors breaking their legs or feet while fighting fierce animals. Back then, there was no technology for reattaching severed limbs, so everything relied on shamanic healing.
This method can effectively avoid the birth of disabilities. In Tang Zheng's view, the main reason for disability is still the problem of nerve rupture. This method has an effect on the limbs of adults, and it will not be too bad for young children. Moreover, the best treatment period for cerebral palsy patients is before the age of five. During this period, the child's neural development is not yet complete, even in Western medicine. If assisted by a drug that promotes neural development with significant efficacy, combined with rehabilitation training, generally speaking, cerebral palsy patients have no problem with self-care in daily life.
Treat Swordsman, Swordsman's age is also the confidence of Tang Zheng. In addition, there is another reliance, which is the prescription for treating facial paralysis. The occurrence of facial paralysis is due to the numbness of the facial nerve leading to motor disorders of the facial muscles. This has an essential difference with cerebral palsy.
However, this distinction is made from modern medicine. In modern medicine, cerebral palsy is a developmental disorder, while facial paralysis is paralysis.
However, from Tang Zheng's sorting of the inherited knowledge, in fact, there is no distinction within the inheritance of witch doctors. The essential effect of this prescription is to promote nerve recovery again. In this way, whether it is facial paralysis or cerebral palsy, it has an effect.
After settling this matter, Tang Zheng's hanging heart finally put down. He sat cross-legged and began his daily compulsory homework, the cultivation of the Yin Yang Heart Scripture. Since crossing that hurdle with Li Fei, Tang Zheng's cultivation of the Yin Yang Heart Scripture seemed to have entered a fast track during this period. This could be seen from Tang Zheng's physical reactions.
As the dawn converged, the cultivation of the Yin-Yang Heart Scripture also reached a peak. Slowly withdrawing his energy, he stood up in the living room and practiced a set of Chiyou Boxing, but as for Fei Lian's Great Slaughter, it was still impossible to display in such a narrow space. It seems that they would have to move back to the villa after all. As the days approached, his younger sister and parents were about to arrive. Tang Zheng didn't feel comfortable staying here anymore either. His family held a high position in Tang Zheng's heart. It could be foreseen that his parents wouldn't stay for too long. In this way, Tang Zheng would naturally accompany them throughout their visit.
At 7:30 in the morning, Tang Zheng had just arrived at the second floor of the outpatient department. At the door of the consulting room, Hua Jian's parents were waiting with Hua Jian by their side.
From the conversation between these two, Tang Zheng could also tell that they were not locals from Zhonghai, but had come from other provinces. Judging by their attire, they didn't seem to be very wealthy either. It was easy to imagine. If a family had children like this, even if they had a fortune of tens of thousands, it would likely have been depleted over the past few years.
When Tang Zheng came over, the man stood up and walked towards him with a receipt for registration in his hand. Seeing this scene, Tang Zheng felt a little heartache. He immediately said: "Go back and get a refund, Xiao Jian will come to treat you later, except for the medicine that needs to be bought, the registration fee is waived, it's not easy for you either."
This sentence suddenly made the couple feel a sense of being favored, and the man repeatedly said: "How can this be, isn't this letting Dr. Tang lose out? Absolutely not."
Tang Zheng opened the door, waved his hand and said: "There's no need to ask if it's okay or not. I'm in charge of things here. Just listen to me. First, take the child to the acupuncture room next door. Next, I'll give the child their first acupuncture treatment. Also, next time I'll write a prescription, you go and get the herbs. I'll teach you how to decoct the medicine and how to take it."
The acupuncture for Shuaijian was very smooth. At first, Tang Zheng used a silver needle to stimulate the sleepy hole of Shuaijian, which made it much easier to administer the needles.
The scope of acupuncture is throughout the whole body. From a TCM perspective, the human body is an integral unit. Problems in the brain are not just treated by treating the brain alone; sometimes, stimulation of acupoints and meridians throughout the body also has a very good effect.
After a week of treatment, including daily acupuncture and medication, Shuaijian's condition has shown significant improvement. This improvement is visible to the naked eye. Specifically, Shuaijian's limbs now have more strength and he can stand alone on the ground. In addition, in terms of recognizing people, he can also shout out "Dad" and "Mom" and other sounds. Although his pronunciation is not very clear yet, this change has already brought immense joy to Shuaijian's parents, who are overjoyed to tears.
Next, Tang Zheng made a detailed examination of Shuai Jian and confirmed that recovering to this extent was already a remarkable achievement. To make further progress would not be an overnight effort. He wrote the prescription for Shuai Jian's parents, so they could continue taking the medicine after returning home. Only then did Tang Zheng call Shen Tao.
It wasn't long before Shen Tao arrived with his entourage. Seeing the child moving around in the examination room, supporting himself on the diagnostic bed, Shen Tao was stunned. He really did it. It actually worked.
Just as he was about to speak, a voice shouted from beside him: "Daddy!"
This made Shen Tao even more stunned, the disease of Shuai Jian, Shen Tao had personally seen it. This patient was also carefully selected by Shen Tao. With his experience, this was a kind that could not be cured at all. But the scene in front of him, however, left Shen Tao speechless.
Looking at Shen Tao, Tang Zheng said coldly: "Shen Tao, Dr. Shen, I think our bet should be fulfilled now. Originally, it was three months, but I finished it in just over a week. Don't bother adding anything else. According to the bet, you can do it yourself."
Here is the translation:
At this point, Shen Tao looked at Tang Zheng with an extremely awkward expression. When he made the bet earlier, Shen Tao had never thought he would lose and had been overly confident. Now, he realized he was in a difficult situation. He stood there awkwardly for a moment before speaking in a low voice: "Tang Zheng, you're just like a blind cat who stumbled upon a dead mouse - it's not necessarily your doing. Maybe this child had already responded to treatment before and the effects are only showing up now that he's under your care."
As soon as the words came out, Tang Zheng knew what Shen Tao was going to do. It's lucky that he thought of such a far-fetched reason. This is clearly an attempt to shirk responsibility.
For someone like this, Tang Zheng didn't have any sympathy. His face sank and he said in a deep voice: "Shen Tao, do you mean to say that you want to shirk responsibility?"
"It's not a bad account, my Shen family has been passing down medicine for generations. I'm the seventh generation. My ancestors have been practicing medicine for generations. Although we're not very prominent, but my Shen family members don't have the habit of evading debts. This account will definitely be paid." A hoarse voice came from behind.
Just then, an old man walked in from outside the door. As soon as Shen Tao saw the old man, he was extremely surprised and said, "Grandfather, how did you come?"
"How did I end up here? If I hadn't come, I'm afraid you would have ruined the reputation of my Shen family." The old man scolded in anger.
The old man then said to Tang Zheng, "Don't be offended, young friend. This grandson of mine has been spoiled since childhood and has developed a lot of bad habits. Please rest assured that the Shen family will not shirk responsibility when it's time to admit defeat."
As he spoke, the old man looked at Shen Tao and said sternly: "Shen Tao, if you still consider me your grandfather, then kneel down and kowtow. Those who are superior become teachers. If someone else's skills surpass yours, you should yield. I've always told you that traditional Chinese medicine is vast and profound, with countless extraordinary people. Do you think learning a bit of Western medicine makes you look down on traditional Chinese medicine? You're narrow-minded. Today, you've personally witnessed the wonders of traditional Chinese medicine, haven't you?"
"Now, now, everyone get out. Shen Tao and this old man have some things to discuss with me."
He drove everyone else out and closed the door. Shen Tao had already knelt down, looking at Tang Zheng: "Doctor Tang, I lost."
The old man was also full of smiles. This young man is not simple. Spare others when you can. Many people know this saying, but few can really do it. By doing so, Shen Tao fulfilled his promise and also saved the face of the Shen family. What a noble way to handle things!
The old man smiled and said, "Young friend, I apologize. My family is unfortunate to have an unworthy descendant. Let me introduce myself. My name is Shen Renzhou. Some time ago, I happened to hear that someone in the Central Sea Hospital used the legendary 'Separating Tendons and Bones' technique. I was curious, so I came to take a look. I didn't expect to encounter such a thing. It seems that you are the extraordinary person who uses the 'Separating Tendons and Bones' technique. Indeed, the younger generation is formidable."
Tang Zhen's character has always been one of mutual respect, where others show him an inch of respect, he returns a foot. Shen Renzhong's great name is like thunder in Tang Zhen's ears. A leading figure in the domestic traditional Chinese medicine community. Serving central leaders. This is indeed the most respectable first person in the traditional Chinese medicine community.
He was so polite that Tang Zheng naturally didn't dare to make any demands. He glanced at Shen Tao, who was standing beside him, looking restless. Tang Zheng smiled and said, "Shen is being overly modest. The legacy of our school is not worth mentioning."
Shen Lao chuckled and said, "Xiao Tang, you're too modest. At your age, you already possess extraordinary medical skills. You can even treat cerebral palsy, which is enough to prove that your level has long surpassed most people, including me. Xiao Tang, I have an impolite request for you here. I hope you'll agree."
Shen Renzhou's words made Tang Zheng somewhat flustered, and he was stunned for a moment before saying: "Mr. Shen, you're too polite, if I can do it, of course, I won't refuse."
"Alright, a responsibility that cannot be shirked. Little Tang, I hope you can stand up and hold high the great banner of traditional Chinese medicine. Lead the resurgence of traditional Chinese medicine." As he spoke, a hint of desolation flashed across Old Shen's face. He looked at Shen Tao beside him and said disapprovingly: "If traditional Chinese medicine still cannot produce a towering figure, it may truly be on the verge of being abolished."
