inside the house.
Du Ruhui lay upright on the bed, and his wife Wang stood beside him, weeping silently.
"Mother, Your Majesty is here to visit father."
Du He hurriedly stepped forward to remind him.
"Your Majesty...oh, your Majesty is here."
Wang was shocked, quickly wiped away her tears, turned around and saluted Li Shimin,
"My wife meets with your majesty...I neglect your majesty."
"Please get up." Li Shimin raised his hand, stepped forward and sat next to Du Ruhui, and asked with concern, "How is Keming doing?"
During the questioning, Chief Physician Zhang stepped forward quickly and began to diagnose Du Ruhui's pulse.
"...I have been unconscious for a long time, more than an hour."
Wang said with a slight cry,
"My hands are also cold, my feet are also cold, I can't keep them warm no matter how I cover them, and my complexion is getting worse and worse."
"I'm just afraid...I'm afraid it won't work! Woo hoo hoo..."
As she spoke, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Don't talk nonsense! Keming is only forty-six years old and in his prime. How could he just go like this!"
Li Shimin scolded him, and when he saw Mrs. Wang crying sadly, he could only comfort him,
"Okay, okay, don't get too distracted. I've called the best doctors here. Everything will be fine. Just relax."
He waved to Du He and ordered:
"Du He, please comfort your mother."
"Okay." Du He stepped forward to help Mrs. Wang up and whispered, "Mom, the imperial doctor is here, and even the imperial master is here. He was the one who saved my father back then. He will definitely be able to save him this time. No. Nothing will happen, nothing will happen..."
Wang's eyes lit up, she found Xu Fenglei in the crowd, and he knelt down with a bang!
"Master! Master...please, please..."
She cried and begged on her knees,
"Save my master, please!"
"Before he fell into coma, he was still chanting your name..."
Xu Fenglei's expression tightened.
"Sister-in-law, please get up."
He supported Wang and said solemnly,
"Keming is my good friend, don't worry, I will do my best to save him."
"Come, sit down for a while and drink some water...he looks so haggard."
"Thank you, thank you, Grand Master, thank you, Grand Master..." Mrs. Wang bowed to Xu Fenglei repeatedly, and then sat tremblingly on the bench beside her, and drank her first sip of warm water today.
Beside the bed.
Doctor Zhang had already folded his fingers and frowned.
"What, the situation is serious?"
Li Shimin asked hurriedly,
"Is there a way to cure it?"
Doctor Zhang hesitated slightly and turned to look at Xu Fenglei.
"Master, please take a look, I...I'm a little unsure."
He was a little ashamed and said,
"It seems that the heart veins are damaged, and the pulse can hardly be felt."
Li Shimin's face darkened and he almost cursed again.
Not sure what to eat.
What's the use of you! Big rice bucket, big rice bucket! What a waste of everyone's time!
But at this moment, he also knew that it was not the time to get angry, so he could only wave his hands patiently:
"Listen Ming, hurry up and take a look!"
Doctor Zhang stood up and gave up his seat, and Xu Fenglei quickly stepped forward.
As soon as he sat down, he didn't feel Du Ruhui's pulse, but felt his palms first.
"It is true that there is something wrong with the heart. My palms are cold. This is due to a lack of mental and physical strength."
Xu Fenglei made a brief judgment and ordered,
"Take off his socks and expose the soles of his feet."
Doctor Zhang hurriedly took action, lifted Du Ruhui's feet out from under the thick quilt, and untied his socks.
Xu Fenglei touched it again.
"Sure enough, my feet are even colder, and some of my foot meridians seem to be frozen."
He muttered,
"It was indeed a sudden heart attack... Madam-in-law, was Keming in any pain before he fell into coma? Was his hand covering his heart?"
Wang was slightly startled.
"Yes, it hurts. He said it hurts...but it's not heartache, it's stomachache!"
She responded,
"At that time, I thought he had a bad stomach, so I didn't pay much attention to it. Who knew that after a while... he passed out and never woke up..."
Xu Fenglei nodded.
"That's right."
He pointed to a place under his chest and asked,
"Is it probably painful in this position?"
Wang took one look and nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, yes... right here." She said.
"This is the Juque point, and it is also the heart point."
Xu Fenglei said in a deep voice,
"Many people suffer from severe stomach pain and think it is a stomachache and do not take it seriously. In fact, it is a heart attack. If they are not treated in time, they may die."
"That's the case with Keming. His illness should be acute heart obstruction."
Li Shimin suddenly realized.
"So that's it."
He breathed a sigh of relief and said sincerely,
"Now that you know what the disease is, you can cure it, right?"
"Listen, now that Divine Doctor Sun is not here, you are the number one doctor in Chang'an. You have to work harder to bring Ke Ming back! As long as you can bring him back... I will promise you anything!"
Li Eryi was anxious and started to make promises again.
However, Xu Fenglei shook his head with a solemn expression this time.
"Myocardial infarction is the most difficult to treat. The sooner it is treated, the better. If the obstruction had been treated at the time, nothing would have happened. But it has been more than an hour now, alas..."
He solemnly said,
"I'll try my best... Doctor Zhang, have you brought your needle pack?"
Doctor Zhang listened carefully. After hearing the instructions, he nodded quickly and said:
"I'll take it, I'll take it, Grand Master..."
Although his medical skills are not good, he still has all the tools.
"Lidui, do you know?"
Xu Fenglei glanced at him with a hint of scrutiny.
His expression seemed to say... If you don't even know this, I will beat you to death on the spot!
"Go back to Master, I know, I know!"
Doctor Zhang sweated on his forehead and replied hurriedly,
"The well point on the Stomach Meridian of Foot Yangming is located on the outside of the nail root of the second toe of the foot. It has the effect of activating meridians and resuscitation, restoring Yang and relieving adverse events..."
Xu Fenglei nodded.
"I have memorized everything in the endorsement. Now that I know it, why didn't I know how to start just now?"
He scolded,
"To be a doctor, theoretical knowledge is not enough! You have to apply what you have learned and apply it flexibly! Do you understand?"
"Now, hurry up and write down the calendar!"
These imperial doctors spend their days doing academic work in their ivory towers! Practical experience is not as good as that of a good doctor in the countryside!
It's no wonder that Sun Simiao scorned the so-called imperial doctors. A real great doctor must treat thousands of patients and accumulate a lot of clinical practice experience before he can achieve success. If he only serves high-ranking officials and nobles, he will definitely be slack and his level will not improve.
If these imperial doctors go to his medical school to study in the future, they must be thrown into the countryside and serve the workers and peasants for three years!
"yes!"
Doctor Zhang did not dare to neglect, and immediately took out the silver needle, and was about to prick the Lidui point, when he suddenly ran into trouble again.
He raised his head and asked cautiously:
"Grand Master, which foot should you put down?"
Xu Fenglei: "..."
"Idiot, you're going to piss me off!"
He cursed,
"Of course, both of them! Hurry!"
Doctor Zhang: "!!!"
Uh-huh!
Uh-huh!
Although he is a bit clumsy, his basic skills are pretty solid, and he can be considered fast and accurate when he performs two swish needles on Calendar.
Acupuncture is all about immediate results.
After the two needles were applied, Du Ruhui's face instantly gained a hint of red and was no longer so pale.
"Keming's face looks much better!"
Fang Xuanling said excitedly,
"Rescued?!"
Everyone present was excited when they saw this.
Xu Fenglei's expression did not improve much, but became more solemn.
"Listen, isn't this... bad?"
When Li Shimin saw that his expression was wrong, he felt a sudden change in his heart and asked hurriedly.
"Not good. Alas..."
Xu Fenglei sighed softly and explained,
"Lidui point is the Jing point on the Stomach Meridian of Foot Yangming. The so-called Jing points are mostly located at the distal ends of the limbs. It is very painful to prick, so it is rarely used for treatment."
"Only when giving first aid, you need its effectiveness as well as its pain! Do you still remember when I rescued you? I pricked ten of your fingers and let them bleed. You screamed in pain and naturally died. never mind."
"Now these two needles are combined, they are both restoring the Yang and saving the day, and they are a big needle sting. If it were a normal person, he would scream in pain, but Ke Ming... did not react at all, but his face improved slightly. point."
"This shows that although his obstruction was resolved by Li Dui, his mental strength was already too weak to support him in waking up."
Li Shimin's expression changed.
The excited expressions on the faces of everyone in the room suddenly disappeared.
"Master, you... you can't just leave us alone..."
"Woooooooo..."
Mrs. Wang weakly leaned on her son and burst into tears.
"Think of a way again, think of a way..."
Li Shimin held Xu Fenglei's hand and muttered,
"There must be a way, listen Ming, think again!"
Xu Fenglei frowned.
He was thinking, thinking crazily!
"Save your heart, how to save your heart...Oh!"
"Come on, come on, get some basins of cold water. If there's ice water, it's better. Go quickly!"
After a few breaths, Xu Fenglei issued an order.
"Okay, I have ice made for the New Year at home, it's in the cellar!"
Du He said quickly,
"Wait a moment, I'll go and get it right now!"
Under everyone's concern, several basins of ice water with ice cubes were delivered to the bed.
"Here, lend a hand, help Keming up and expose his feet."
Xu Fenglei called,
"Don't wrap yourself up too tightly. Take off two layers of quilts. It won't work in such a hot weather."
As soon as he gave the order, Doctor Zhang stepped forward to lend a hand, and even Li Shimin personally helped to lift Du Ruhui up.
"What to do next?"
Li Shimin said worriedly,
"His feet are already so cold. If they are exposed again, won't they become colder and more difficult to save?"
Xu Fenglei ignored him, leaned down and scooped up a ladle of water from the ice water basin.
"Hiss, it's cold enough!"
After saying that, he poured water on Du Ruhui's feet.
Wow!
Water droplets splashed onto Li Shimin's shoes.
"Ouch, what are you doing!"
Li Er was shocked and said,
"What are you doing?! You want to freeze Keming to death!"
Xu Fenglei was speechless.
"Your Majesty, if you don't understand, just stop talking and don't yell, okay?"
He said dissatisfiedly,
"Delaying my treatment."
"Back off."
Li Shimin: "..."
Although Xu Fenglei choked him badly, he still gave way obediently.
After all, they are professionals, and as a layman, I know nothing, so I really can’t scream...
Wow!
Wow!
Ladles of ice water were poured on Du Ruhui's insteps.
"Lift up."
Xu Fenglei gave an order.
Doctor Zhang held Du Ruhui's feet and pointed the soles of his feet towards Xu Fenglei.
Wow!
Wow!
Several ladles of cold water were poured on her, going straight to the soles of her feet.
The pouring of the cold water caused the temperature in the room to drop a lot. Everyone tightened their robes and shrank a little.
It is still spring after all, and the spring breeze outside is still very cold! Frozen bones!
Wow!
After pouring three large basins of ice water, Xu Fenglei wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Touch, how are your feet?"
he said.
Before Doctor Zhang could take action, Li Shimin had already taken the lead. He grabbed Du Ruhui's feet with a distressed look on his face and sighed:
"It must be even colder! If you want to stimulate him, you shouldn't be so irritated! Hey... Huh?"
After scolding Xu Fenglei for a few words, his voice suddenly stopped, and there was an incredible look in his eyes.
"Is this... hot? Why are your feet so hot?"
Li Er opened his eyes wide, and said in shock and confusion,
"Isn't that ice water that was poured just now? How could this... get hot?"
"Is it really ice water?"
He subconsciously touched the water in the ice basin...
"Ouch! Hiss——"
Li Shimin yelled and shouted,
"Ice! It's too ice!"
After testing the water, he was completely confused...
Not only was he confused, several other people also looked surprised:
"Let me touch it...hey, it's really hot!"
"I'm sure your hands are too cold! Let me touch them...oh, it's really warm. It's similar to the hand I've been covering for a long time."
"What's going on? Why can washing feet with ice water make them warm?! Master... tell me, tell me!"
Everyone took turns touching their feet. If Du Ruhui were a woman, she would be embarrassed to see others.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were on Xu Fenglei, waiting for his answer.
"hehe……"
Xu Fenglei wiped his hands and said with a slight smile,
"The heart is always beating from the moment a person is born. While pumping blood, it also generates a lot of heat."
"This heat flows through the limbs, to the palms, to the small intestine, and from the small intestine to the soles of the feet. Therefore, people with strong hearts must have warm hands and feet. On the contrary, people with cold hands and feet must have a bad heart."
"Keming's situation means that the heart has become weak and has no power to transmit heat. Naturally, the hands and feet are as cold as ice!"
As he spoke, he wiped Du Ruhui's feet dry and put them back on the bed.
"The heart belongs to yang, but likes cold. Therefore, medical books say that warm food and warm clothing should be avoided for heart disease. It is better to eat cold food and wear lighter clothes."
Xu Fenglei said again,
"So, his sudden illness today is most likely related to the fact that he drank several large bowls of hot porridge before. Drinking hot porridge will make your whole body sweat, which will make your heart uncomfortable."
When Wang heard this, her heart was shaken, and she immediately showed a look of regret.
"It turns out...it turns out to be like this."
She held her forehead and murmured,
"I don't understand, I don't understand! If I had known this, I would never have cooked porridge for him..."
"Woooooooo..."
Thinking of how she personally cooked porridge for her husband, she now wished she could slap herself in the face!
"Sister-in-law, don't blame yourself. It's normal that you don't understand this."
Xu Fenglei comforted him, turned to look at Dr. Zhang, and scolded in a cold voice,
"But you imperial doctors don't know this, so you shouldn't do it! Are the medical books in the dog's belly?!"
