Chapter 542 Haemorrhoids Acupuncture

“Next one.” Fang Qiu sat back at the consultation desk and shouted.

The third patient came in.

After using the Four Methods to Diagnose a Disease, Fang Qiu also began to use acupuncture to treat the patient.

The PD pushed the sickbed to the wall quietly. He didn’t disturb Fang Qiu seeing the patient. Meanwhile, he was also nervously looking at this patient who suffered from acute appendicitis.

Just now, he did let out a sigh of relief.

Nothing unexpected happened to the patient and his pain was relieved a little, but that didn’t mean there was no pain. The patient lying on the bed still groaned from time to time.

That was why the PD kept watching the patient nervously the entire time.

He observed that the patient’s complexion gradually became better, and the sound of groaning became less and less. Finally, it completely disappeared and the patient didn’t look as painful as he was before. Only then did the PD completely rest assured.

The PD was surprised and thought to himself. “I didn’t expect that acupuncture in Chinese Medicine can also give first aid.”

After seeing the third patient and seeing the patient off, Fang Qiu walked to the side of the sickbed.

Fang Qiu looked at the patient and asked, “How is it? Do you feel better?”

“It doesn’t hurt anymore.” The patient nodded immediately and said, “Dr. Xiao Fang, you are really a magical doctor.”

“I am not a magical doctor, just a doctor of Chinese Medicine.” Fang Qiu smiled and began to take out the needles for the patient.

After he finished, he said, “This is your prescription.”

Fang Qiu then wrote another prescription and added, “Although your acute appendicitis is cured, you still suffer from gastroenteritis. If you don’t take care, it will easily cause appendicitis again. So when you go back, you need to coordinate. Take the medicine according to this prescription. I have written down the medicine-decocting method and dosage for you.”

“Okay, thank you, Dr. Xiao Fang.”

The patient took over the prescription and said, “You can go ahead and treat others. I’ll come back later to get the medicine.”

“All right.” Fang Qiu nodded.

The man thanked him again and left with the prescription.

Fang Qiu returned to the consultation desk and sat down. “Next one.”

The PD waiting at the door immediately let the next patient enter the clinic.

Fang Qiu looked up.

It was a young man in his twenties.

This young man looked quite normal, but his gait was a bit strange and his face was a bit pale.

“Please have a seat.” When the patient came to the consultation desk, Fang Qiu stretched out his hand and motioned to him.

The patient asked, “Dr. Xiao Fang, can I not sit?”

Fang Qiu was dumbfounded. “Hmm?”

The patient said, “My hemorrhoids hurt so much that I can’t sit at all. I was going to have an operation in the county hospital, but when I heard that you came back, I hurried to see you.”

Although his voice was low, the PD still heard what he said when he guarded at the door.

“How to treat it?” He turned around curiously and looked at the patient and Fang Qiu, murmuring to himself, “You can only cut it if you have this. It seems that only doctors of Western Medicine can do that. Hemorrhoids mean an organic disease. It turns to a bulge in the body. What can we do if we don’t cut it?”

In the midst of his confusion, the PD took a look at the people outside the door and found that the crowd was lining up consciously. He immediately stopped guarding the door and went directly behind Fang Qiu. In the place where the camera could not capture, he asked, “This can’t be removed unless using the Western Medicine method to cut it directly. Can Chinese Medicine cure it without operation? What method can you use?”

Fang Qiu replied directly, “Use the fire needle!”

The PD asked, “Ah? You’re going to use a needle to break it?”

Fang Qiu was suddenly speechless.

As soon as he thought of the image that the PD described, he couldn’t help but feel sick.

He rolled his eyes at him and said, “I’m going to put the needle on his mouth!”

Upon hearing that, the PD was stunned.

“Does he want to put the needle on the mouth to cure hemorrhoids?

“How is this possible?”

Obviously, he thought Fang Qiu was joking with him.

When he was about to ask more questions, he found that Fang Qiu had taken action and was ready to start the treatment. Therefore, he stopped talking and watched silently.

But the next moment, he was dumbfounded.

When Fang Qiu said that he wanted to stick the needle to the mouth, he really meant it.

Fang Qiu first took out the silver needles, walked to the front of the patient, and said, ” Prop up your upper lip. Let me have a look.”

The patient tried so hard, but he couldn’t do it.

Helplessly, Fang Qiu could only put on the sterilize gloves to help him. He pulled up the patient’s upper lip and then looked at it carefully.

There was indeed a sesame-sized follicle in the Yinjiao acupoint which was in the middle of the patient’s two front teeth.

This was a symptom that most of the patients who suffered from hemorrhoids would have.

After he confirmed the position, Fang Qiu found a soft cushion, put it on the chair, and said, “Sit down.”

The patient had to sit down.

“Raise your head and look at the ceiling.” While speaking, Fang Qiu began to burn the needle with fire. He kept burning the silver needle until it became white and bright. Then he quickly used the needle to poke the patient’s follicle in the Yinjiao acupoint.

He stopped when he reached the acupoint.

The moment he stuck the needle in, a flow of internal Qi was transferred in the patient’s body.

The reason why he used the needle to stick into the patient’s mouth was that most of the patients who suffered from hemorrhoids had a follicle in the Yinjiao acupoint. He used the fire needle because it could get to the Governing Vessel through the Yinjiao acupoint. According to the principle that the place that meridians passed through demanded priority, he could cut the source by using this treatment.

With the support of internal Qi, the effect of the fire needle would obviously be better.

Soon, Fang Qiu finished treating the fourth patient.

Fang Qiu continued to see patients quickly.

Half an hour passed.

He had seen ten patients.

On average, each person only took him three minutes. He was really fast.

The most important thing was that Fang Qiu used acupuncture to treat all of them.

Acupuncture was time-consuming, but with the help of internal Qi, he saved so much time. In addition, he would continue to see the next patient while leaving the needles in the last patient. And then he would take out the needles one by one, so Fang Qiu’s treatment speed naturally increased a lot.

Soon, he was seeing the sixteenth patient.

It was a middle-aged man in his fifties.

“Sir, what ails you?” Fang Qiu asked as the patient sat down.

The patient said, “I often feel dizzy and headache and tinnitus. I also constantly lose my temper.”

“Oh?” After careful observation, Fang Qiu found that the patient’s face was red, and his saliva was very little. Besides, he almost had no movement of swallowing, and he even had the habit of spitting saliva.

Fang Qiu asked, “Do you feel dry throat with a bitter taste?”

The patient nodded and answered, “Yes, I do.”

Fang Qiu asked again, “You said that you don’t have a good temper. Is it easy for you to get angry, move restlessly, have less sleep, and dream a lot?”

“Yes, yes, yes, that’s exactly how I feel.”

The patient said, “I’ve suffered from hypertension for several years. Dr. Xiao Fang, you are a magical doctor. Please help me.”

Upon hearing that, Fang Qiu didn’t make any movement. However, the PD who stood behind Fang Qiu and outside the camera all the time was immediately nervous.

The PD said in a low voice, “Hypertension is a chronic disease, and it can’t be cured at all. Even Western Medicine can only use medicine to control it.”

“Please open your mouth and let me see.” Fang Qiu was still using the Four Methods to Diagnose a Disease.

The patient opened his mouth and Fang Qiu found that his tongue was red and its coating was yellow.

“Let me feel your pulse again.” Fang Qiu reached out to feel his pulse.

Eventually, he came to the conclusion that the patient’s pulse was strong, so he was suffering from an overwhelming liver fire hypertension.

After the diagnosis, Fang Qiu hesitated for a moment and said, “Sir, although I can help you quickly lower the blood pressure now, it can’t be maintained for a long time. If you want to cure this disease, we need more time to use other methods. Except for living habits, there were other methods. But I don’t have much time to help you do it now.

“I’ll teach you a method, and you can do it yourself. I believe it won’t take long to cure it.”

The patient had thought that the disease could not be cured.

He simply wanted to see if there was a method that was better than Western Medicine without side effects, but he hadn’t expected that Fang Qiu said it could be cured, which made him a little surprised.

The patient asked, “Really? Can I cure it on my own?”

Fang Qiu said with a smile, “As long as you learn it and insist on doing it, you can cure it.”

The patient said happily, “Okay, please teach me. It will be great if it can really be cured.”

“It’s a very simple method.”

Fang Qiu said, “It’s the navel therapy in traditional Chinese Medicine.”

“Oh?” The patient nodded.

“You need to buy some Aconites and Radix Rehmanniae. Take the right proportion of these two herbs and mix them with egg white. Put them on your navel, cover them with gauze, and fix them with tape.

“You have to use this method before going to bed. You can change it once a day. Every 15 days will be a course of treatment. In general, it will take effect in 3 to 5 days.”

Fang Qiu was writing as he spoke.

After writing the prescription, he handed it to the patient and reminded him, “This is only effective for patients with high blood pressure like yours. Don’t give it to other patients with high blood pressure blindly. The types of hypertension are different. The medicines they need are also different. If you give it to other patients who are not suitable to use it, it may cause an adverse effect or it won’t have any effect at all.”

“All right.” The patient nodded again and again, but there was lingering fear inside him.

He also wanted to teach others this method. After all, this was a treatment that Dr. Xiao Fang personally made for him. How awesome it would be! But when he heard Fang Qiu’s words, he immediately discarded this idea. If something bad really happened, he could not afford it.

He then took the prescription.

“Thank you, Dr. Xiao Fang. I’ll try it tonight.” The patient thanked Fang Qiu and left.

Fang Qiu continued to see the patients.

After working for more than an hour, he had seen over 20 patients, but he didn’t even have time to drink a sip of water.

Seeing that Fang Qiu was too occupied, the PD tried to persuade him. “Why don’t we take a break?”

“There’s no need.” Fang Qiu shook his head and continued to see patients.

But at this time, a quarrel broke out all of a sudden outside the clinic.

Fang Qiu was confused. “What’s going on? Why are they arguing?”

“I’ll go and have a look,” the PD responded and quickly went out to have a look.

A moment later, he came back.

Fang Qiu asked, “What’s going on?”

“It’s the staff of our show quarreling with the patients who are queuing up.”

The PD smiled wryly. “The staff made statistics on everyone’s condition and tried to persuade those who were not sick to leave. You can’t see them all because there are too many people here. The reason why they kept arguing was that someone didn’t want to leave. They even said that the staff had no right to ask them to leave. They said that everyone was equal and they just didn’t want to leave. The staff tried to persuade them, but they failed. That’s why they started to quarrel.”

As he heard that, Fang Qiu was also very helpless.

He also understood that people wanted him to treat them. But the show’s staff didn’t do anything wrong. He really couldn’t see so many patients.

“I’ll go and have a look.” Fang Qiu stood up and walked out. The PD tried to stop him, but he failed.

Chapter 543 See Patients for 24 Hours!

Fang Qiu walked out of the clinic and immediately saw a staff member standing in the middle of the queue. At this time, a middle-aged man of medium height with a crew cut was glaring at the staff member with dissatisfaction. He looked a little anxious, showing a look of being rational. He leaned forward and looked domineering, suppressing the staff member.

"It's okay, let me have a look at the statistical sheet."

Fang Qiu came out and pulled the staff member behind him. He glanced at the angry middle-aged man and then reached out to take the statistical paper. The staff member just completed collecting the information.

Fang Qiu took over the paper and had a closer look.

He saw that the list had divided the patients into the refractory ones and normal ones. And this man in front of him was just one of the normal patients.

Speaking of which, he just caught a bit of cold.

"Sir." Fang Qiu looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and said, "Although I volunteer to offer free treatments, I really don't have enough time. Look at such a long line at the scene. I can't finish seeing all the patients at all, so I have to focus on those urgent cases. You have a cold. I can write a prescription and let you bring it back right now. What do you think?"

The middle-aged man said, "Dr. Xiao Fang, I am a well-mannered person. You can rest assured that I won't cut in line, but I can't just do it in vain since I have tried so hard to line up for such a long time."

"It's not a matter of whether people cut in line or not." Fang Qiu frowned and said, "This is a matter of life and death. You also saw the patient with acute appendicitis, right? Let me ask you. If you're the one who suffers from acute appendicitis, do you want me to treat others first, or treat you first?"

"Of course you should treat me first." The middle-aged man immediately turned his head and looked at the people standing on the same side as him. Then he said, "Didn't you do the same thing just now?"

"That's right." Fang Qiu nodded and said, "Since you think so, you should be able to understand the staff member's meaning, right?"

"Why should I?" The middle-aged man snorted and said, "If there is an emergency, they can cut in line. I absolutely won't stop them. Not all the people behind me are terminally ill. They can also be cured if they wait a little longer. Why should I give way to them?"

Fang Qiu frowned.

He then asked, "Let me put it this way. If your family or friends have cancer, should I treat them or others first?"

The middle-aged man was stunned.

He wanted to argue about something but stopped as he wanted to blurt out. In the end, he couldn't utter a single word.

Fang Qiu asked again, "If you are suffering from diabetes, and the person in front of you is just having a slight cold, should I treat you first or the one in front of you who has a cold?"

The middle-aged man didn't know how to respond, so he just kept silent with a little embarrassment on his face.

Fang Qiu continued to ask him so many questions, which made him completely speechless.

"I know, you've already thought it through." Fang Qiu said to the middle-aged man. Then he turned to look at the others, and turned back again, looking at the middle-aged man and several people who were standing on the side of the middle-aged man to go against the program team and staff. "I hope that everyone can try to put yourself in other people's shoes, which is not only beneficial to others, but also to yourself."

After that, Fang Qiu didn't think twice. He immediately took a few steps back and bowed to the middle-aged man. Then he bowed to the others standing in the same line as the middle-aged man, then retreated to the door of the clinic and bowed to all the patients who were lining up.

Seeing this, all of the people on the spot began to comfort Fang Qiu.

A large majority of them even turned to curse at the middle-aged man and those who were picking on the staff. All sorts of voices of criticism continued to spread among the crowd.

As he saw this, the middle-aged man's face changed. He was so embarrassed that he didn't even dare to look at Fang Qiu. He lowered his head, pulled his friends, and ran away in disgrace.

At the same time, many people who just came along for the ride knew that they were not sick at all. Instead of continuing to queue, they left the queue and stood at the door of the clinic to watch Fang Qiu seeing patients.

Some of the patients who didn't have serious diseases and only had minor illnesses such as a slight cold all left the queue to give positions to other patients.

Under these circumstances, the long queue, which was impossible to see the end, was soon shortened a lot. There were more than 300 patients left to see the doctor in line.

After the PD told Fang Qiu about this condition, Fang Qiu finally continued to see patients.

Although the number of people had been reduced to 300, three days was still limited.

In order to save enough time to see the three hundred patients, Fang Qiu used all kinds of methods. In order to be more efficient, he even used the method of feeling the pulse with both hands.

It was the first time that people of the show had seen him feeling the pulse with both hands.

At that time, his PD, the cameraman, Director Li Huawen, and the other staff of the show were all taken aback.

Although they didn't know much about Chinese Medicine, they started to get hold of it after recording eight episodes of the show. However, they had never seen a Chinese Medicine doctor who felt the pulse with both hands. They hadn't even heard of it.

Would this work?

Despite the shock, no one dared to disturb Fang Qiu. They could only stand aside and watch.

As a result, they found that Fang Qiu's speed of feeling the pulse with both hands was very fast, and the diagnosis result made by this method was extremely accurate without any error.

Director Li Huawen was even more surprised.

Of course, all of this was completely recorded by the camera.

At eight o'clock in the morning the next day, Chinese Medicine clinics across the country opened.

Except for Fang Qiu, the other nine contestants who were assigned to all over the country all put on masks according to the requirements of the program team, disguised themselves, and prepared for the consultation.

Because most of the contestants began to see patients at about three o'clock in the afternoon yesterday, they didn't stop until ten o'clock in the evening. Everyone was so tired. But today, they got up early and began to see patients from eight o'clock. When they thought that they would have to see patients all day, at least twelve hours, they couldn't help feeling exhausted.

"Are you tired?" Luo Jie's PD asked Luo Jie while looking at him in the clinic.

Luo Jie replied, "It's okay. I might be able to hold on today, but I'm not sure if I can do it tomorrow."

At this moment, not only Luo Jie but all the other participants heard the same question from their PD and each of them gave a reply that was similar to Luo Jie's.

"There's a piece of news from the director. Do you want to hear it?"

The next moment, the nine PDs who received the news respectively asked each of the contestants that they were following.

Everyone wanted to listen.

"I received news from the director that Fang Qiu began to see patients at about three p.m. yesterday. He has been seeing patients for 17 consecutive hours and is still working now. Even when he needs to eat, he's seeing patients while eating steamed buns."

Hearing the news, Luo Jie was shocked.

Even the descendants of the four noble families, Gu Shaoyu, Leng Wenzhuo, Li Sanxiao, Chen Ziju, were all shocked.

The other contestants, Wang Shijie ranked the sixth, Yang Chenxiang ranked the eighth, and Lin Dan ranked the tenth among the top ten in the country, were also amazed when they heard the news. However, they also admired Fang Qiu at the same time.

The three of them were all from ordinary families. It was their own hard work that enabled them to make it this far.

Although they had made it to the top ten in the country, they never thought that they could be the champion. In their eyes, Fang Qiu was still an expert. It was rather difficult for them to surpass him.

Besides, when Fang Qiu did the live streaming to publicize his treatment method, he showed his incredible strength to the people once again.

With that kind of strength, how could there be someone stronger than him?

Except for this, as doctors of Chinese Medicine, they didn't expect that Fang Qiu could see patients for 17 hours in a row. Not only did he have no time to eat, but he didn't even sleep. What a towering Chinese Medicine doctor he was! How could they not worship him?

However, compared with the three people's recognition of Fang Qiu, Luo Jie and the descendants of the four families frowned and were lost in thought.

Luo Jie asked, "Is that the rule of the ninth episode? Who see the most patients will be the winner?"

"I don't know." The PD shook his head and said, "I'm sure Fang Qiu doesn't know either."

"What's Fang Qiu up to? Why is he so desperate to see so many patients?"

Leng Wenzhuo frowned and looked at her PD and asked, "I want to know if Fang Qiu knows the rules of this episode. If he knows, why can't we know?"

The PD replied, "No one knows."

The reactions of Gu Shaoyu, Li Sanxiao, and Chen Ziju were the same.

They were all wondering if Fang Qiu had learned the rules of this episode, so he worked so hard to see patients.

Among these nine people, the only girl except Leng Wenzhou, Jiang Miaoyu, was shocked as she heard the information given by the PD.

"17 hours?"

Jiang Miaoyu grabbed her PD and asked, "He didn't sleep or eat? How can your guys do this?"

Jiang Miaoyu was worried. "This is not what the crew asked him to do. He insists on doing this."

The PD was also very helpless. He knew the relationship between Jiang Miaoyu and Fang Qiu and could also see the deep worry on Jiang Miaoyu's face. But this really had nothing to do with the show's crew.

She then asked, "Can I call him? I want to ask him to take a rest. He will be worn out if he goes on like this."

The PD shook his head and said, "No. The show has set the rule that no phone calls are allowed. You are isolated from the outside world in these three days."

"But—" Jiang Miaoyu was more worried.

"Don't worry." The PD said hurriedly, "Fang Qiu knows what he's doing. The staff is watching him and will definitely not let anything happen to him. If there's anything wrong, I'll receive the news as soon as possible. Besides, Fang Qiu is a doctor himself. How could he treat himself badly?"

Eventually, Jiang Miaoyu felt a little relieved after being convinced by her PD for a long time.

At the same time, in the case that no one could figure out the rules of the show, Fang Qiu's desperate effort actually drove everyone to work harder. After the formal consultation began, everyone made every effort to see more patients.

In the Puji Clinic of Qimen Town, Fang Qiu was still seeing patients non-stop.

After 18, 19, 20 hours, he was still going on.

Fang Qiu actually saw patients for 24 hours in a row. He still didn't get any sleep at all.
