"Teacher, no way! Can traditional Chinese medicine check diseases more quickly than Western medicine Wouldn't there be a significant deviation then After all, just by taking the pulse and looking at one's complexion, one can diagnose what disease a person has; this seems too mystical!"
Just as Xiao Yu finished speaking, another female classmate said in disbelief. She had studied traditional Chinese medicine and naturally knew about diagnosing illnesses through pulse-taking and examining one’s complexion. Moreover, there were also methods like treating headache with foot treatments which felt quite unbelievable to her!
"Haha, don’t believe it" Xiao Yu chuckled lightly before saying nothing else as he walked down from the podium towards the back of the classroom.
"This female student, do you have dysmenorrhea And when in pain, it’s quite unbearable"
As soon as Xiao Yu reached the last row, he looked at a girl sitting beside an aisle and said to her gently.
"Huh Teacher, how... How did you know I have this problem with dysmenorrhea" The student was stunned for a moment after hearing his words before saying in amazement.
Her dysmenorrhea had existed since she first started menstruating. In the past few years, every time her period came, she felt as if she wanted to die, and her menstrual cycle was also longer than most people's. Sometimes when she went out shopping during her period and felt intense pain, she even found it hard to breathe. Although her dysmenorrhea was so severe, only her dorm-mate friend knew about it.
Therefore, Xiao Yu saying it outright made her feel incredulous! Moreover, he hadn’t even given her a pulse diagnosis; he had just looked at her once!
"Haha, all your symptoms are reflected on your face. I diagnosed you based on the color of your complexion!" Seeing this woman's expression of disbelief, Xiao Yu chuckled and said.
After saying that, Xiao Yu thought for a moment before continuing: "Find me after class; I'll write out a prescription to help ease your condition temporarily. If you want it completely cured, you need to take decoctions continuously for some time."
"Okay, okay, thank you teacher!" The student thanked him repeatedly as she heard his words. Although Xiao Yu was young, he could accurately diagnose her dysmenorrhea just by looking at her; this made her have no choice but to believe.
Note that, in her view, menstrual cramps are not a disease at all. However, it was precisely this that made her believe in Xiao Yu fundamentally when he could identify it.
Xiao Yu nodded and turned around to leave the place and returned again, heading towards the podium.
Suddenly, as Xiao Yu was walking towards the podium, he abruptly stopped and turned to look at a male student sitting in a corner. When Xiao Yu saw this male student, his expression changed slightly, and he immediately walked over, saying, "Hold out your hand; I'll take your pulse!"
The moment Xiao Yu's words fell, not only did the male student become stunned, but everyone else in the classroom was also taken aback, involuntarily turning their gaze towards this student.
Earlier, Xiao Yu had just glanced at the female student and immediately knew she suffered from severe menstrual cramps. But now He wanted to take a pulse after looking for a while. This made everyone curious.
Hearing Xiao Yu's words and seeing all the students' gazes directed towards him, this male student blushed slightly and slowly lowered his head. Nevertheless, he still extended his hand in front of Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu gently placed his fingers on the young man’s wrist, then looked up at him.
When Xiao Yu walked past just now, he cast a glance into this corner and noticed that this male student was extremely thin, almost looking like bones covered with skin.
Moreover, there were faint unnatural white patches on the young man's pale face. After observing him for a while, Xiao Yu had an idea but to be cautious, he wanted to take his pulse.
A moment later, after releasing the boy’s wrist, Xiao Yu looked at him and asked, "Have you been this thin since childhood And no matter how much or what kind of food you eat as you grow up, have you never gained weight"
"Yes... yes, teacher! My mother told me that I’ve always been so thin since I was around three or four years old. When I was young, I saw many doctors but no one found any issues with my body. Besides being underweight, there haven’t been other problems either, so I stopped seeing doctors after.
Hearing Xiao Yu's words at this moment, he suddenly felt a bit anxious. Xiao Yu wouldn't say such things without reason; there must be other reasons. Could it be that there really is something wrong with his body
In fact, he had also thought about his health issues before, and this was also why he entered medical school. He had always had a very big appetite since childhood, and because his family saw him as frail, they often bought meat to nourish him up. But even so, instead of gaining weight, he became increasingly thin.
Not just him but even his family suspected that there was something wrong with his body. However, other than being underweight, there were no other issues with him. He hardly ever fell ill, which puzzled everyone because apart from his thinness, everything else about him didn’t seem sickly.
"There is indeed a problem with your health. After class, come and get my prescription! Just one dose will guarantee you’ll be cured!" Xiao Yu nodded in response to the student’s question.
“Okay, okay, thank you teacher, thank you teacher!” Hearing Xiao Yu's words, this male student immediately showed a look of excitement.
He had no specific illness despite his frail health. However, girls didn't care for him because of his appearance; he even tried to woo some girls but was met with disdainful looks. After all, the way he looked made it seem like he could be blown away by a strong wind.
Therefore, upon hearing Xiao Yu's words now, he immediately thanked Xiao Yu.
"Mm." Upon hearing this student’s gratitude, Xiao Yu nodded at him and walked towards the stage.
When Xiao Yu reached the front row, a young man stood up, looking at Xiao Yu and saying: “Thank you teacher. If not for your medicine, these acne on my face would have accompanied me for many years; thank you!”
Hearing this student's words, Xiao Yu looked over in his direction. When he saw the student, he recalled that it was him whom he had encountered in the dormitory during the anniversary celebration. Although the young man’s skin still appeared somewhat dark and blotchy at present, there were no more pimples on his face. After a few days, once this dark discoloration faded away, his face would return to its original condition.
"Haha, you don't have to be so polite!" Xiao Yu smiled lightly at the young man and said.
After speaking, Xiao Yu walked up onto the stage. Although he had only seen two people, these interactions made everyone admire him from the bottom of their hearts. Therefore, as Xiao Yu ascended onto the stage now, all the students sat straightened upright in their seats with admiring looks in their eyes.
"To study Traditional Chinese Medicine well, learning the Decoction Song is an indispensable foundation. You have all been studying TCM for some time now; who among you has memorized the Decoction Song"
Xiao Yu stepped onto the podium and asked his students.
After hearing Xiao Yu's question, the students exchanged puzzled glances with each other. Although the first page of their textbook was the Decoction Song, in their eyes, it seemed to be a useless piece of information. Thus, none of them spoke up when Xiao Yu asked about it.
Seeing that no one had memorized the song, Xiao Yu's brows slightly furrowed. If these students hadn't learned it upon entering school, he could understand; however, some of them had already been studying for more than half a year and even up to two or three years, and yet none of them knew the Decoction Song. This filled Xiao Yu with an overwhelming sense of despair about the future of TCM.
"We won't be covering anything else today. Each of you needs to copy out the Decoction Song on your notebook until it's firmly memorized in your mind!"
Xiao Yu spoke sternly to his students.
The moment Xiao Yu finished speaking, the students started murmuring among themselves. His words reminded them of elementary school when their teachers made them copy assignments twenty times each.
Moreover, since they had entered university, few of them wrote so much; usually, it was just taking notes during lectures. Hence, upon hearing Xiao Yu's instruction to copy the Decoction Song, all of them erupted into complaints.
"Tap tap tap......" Standing on the podium, Xiao Yu looked at the noisy classroom and picked up a chalk eraser to bang heavily on the desk.
The noise startled the students; they immediately stopped their chatter and turned to look at Xiao Yu.
Since entering university, none of them had seen such an imposing appearance from Xiao Yu before. They were used to doing whatever they pleased in class as long as it didn't disturb other students who wanted to listen.
"If anyone is dissatisfied and wants to leave, you can do so without losing any credits; however, those remaining must copy the Decoction Song diligently until memorized! Write every stroke of each character carefully!"her hand and placed it back on his heart.The two lay there quietly without speaking. However, at this moment, words were unnecessary.The sky outside gradually brightened as the sun rose.Although they...
