Returning to the children's health clinic, Tao Le received Xie Baoshu's envious gaze.

"Xiao Tao, why do you think your life is so good? Brother Xie, I have only observed Director Shen's operations three or four times in so many years. You just came here and you got the opportunity."

"But let me guess, when you go on stage today, you will be either the third assistant or the fourth assistant, and I also know the work you do -" Xie Baoshu laughed: "Retracting the hook, right?"

"Brother Xie, why do you think so?" Tao Le was a little strange.

"You don't have to think about this. When newcomers come on stage, aren't they all doing this? The main surgeon makes the incision, and the four assistants retract to ensure the surgical field of view. Then they start to look at the time. All they can think about is this operation and when it will be completed!"

"So, Brother Xie, you have also pulled the hook?"

"Of course! I think back when I was on stage for the first time as a fourth assistant, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep the night before. Who thought I'd pull the hook on stage, and it lasted more than four hours, and my hands were sore! How about you, Is your hand okay?"

"It's okay." Tao Le said, holding back his laughter.

"Don't worry, Brother Xie is here and I won't let you be so bored!" Xie Baoshu said with a smile on his face:

"Next time it's my turn to perform appendix surgery, I will definitely take you with me and let you start suturing!"

Stitching...ugh. For Tao Le, this kind of thing has no feeling at all.

But looking at the expression on Xie Baoshu's face that he was waiting to be praised and thanked, Tao Le decided to satisfy him:

"Okay, then thank you in advance, Brother Xie!"

"By the way, what kind of surgery did Director Shen perform today?"

"Transoral Fiberoptic Bronchoscopy Retrieval."

"There's no surgery, doesn't that mean the hook isn't even hooked?" Xie Baoshu looked sympathetic.

"Well, it's true that it wasn't zipped up." Tao Le didn't regret it at all.

The hospital cafeteria is on the second underground floor. Tao Le didn't go down until almost twelve o'clock and found that there were still many people there.

That's right, many doctors see patients in the morning, and when there are many patients, they will postpone their consultation until this time. Everyone has long been accustomed to it.

Tao Le swiped her employee card and had a meal. She found an empty table and was about to sit down when she heard someone calling her.

"Tao Le, come here."

Tao Le took a closer look and saw that it was Ye Chen.

The table was for four, and Ye Chen was alone now. Tao Le carried the plate over and sat across from him.

"Hello Teacher Ye, why are you eating so late?" she asked.

The work of the medical office is quite regular, and meals should be on time.

"I've been sorting out files recently, so I've been a little busy." Ye Chen looked at the few simple things on her plate:

Steamed potatoes, a cornmeal steamed bun, stir-fried cabbage heart, and a tiger skin green pepper. She didn't eat any of the hard dishes in the cafeteria today, such as braised shrimps in oil and beef in sour soup.

"You're eating too little, are you trying to lose weight?" Ye Chen asked curiously.

"Not really, I just don't have much appetite." I don't know why, but recently she has lost interest in all kinds of food, as if she has anorexia.

"Okay, I won't ask anymore. It's just a girl's family. It's a blessing to be able to eat. Don't go on a diet just to control your body shape, and end up ruining your body."

Tao Le was not prepared to continue this topic with him.

"Teacher Ye, how are your hands doing lately?"

Ye Chen stopped her because of this: "It's still the same, she trembles when she does fine movements."

"All the necessary tests have been done. It's not a brain problem." Ye Chen shook his head:

"I have used several commonly used drugs, including propranolol, alprazolam, and clonazepam, but the effect is only average, and it returns to its original state as soon as the drug is stopped."

"So Dr. Tao Letao, you mentioned last time that it can be cured. Is that true?"

When he was in Tianqiao Village, Tao Le had seen Ye Chen's performance during surgery, and also learned that it was because of this disease that he was transferred from the most outstanding attending physician in general surgery to an administrative department such as the Medical Office.

At that time, she checked with a gold finger and found that it was indeed essential tremor.

This is a chronic movement disorder.

Ye Chen's symptoms were mild, manifested only in his inability to control fine hand movements. Although it did not affect his daily life, it had a fatal blow to his work.

This disease cannot be cured and can only be slowly treated with drugs. Moreover, several drugs have serious side effects and are not suitable for long-term use.

Tianqiao Village was too busy at that time, so she just mentioned it casually, but she didn't expect Ye Chen to still remember it.

"It's really curable." Tao Le nodded: "Acupuncture is very effective in treating this disease."

"Actually, I have also been to the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Director Zhu only said to give it a try. He also tried acupuncture and decoction for two courses, but unfortunately there was no improvement."

Tao Le remembered that this was a hospital, and the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine was also very powerful. The excuses she used in the past had to be improved as soon as possible!

"Actually, I have a set of acupuncture methods that are effective for your disease." She said without changing her face: "But you have to keep it a secret for me. Because this acupuncture method is secretly passed down by the master. "

After saying this, Ye Chen didn't know what he was thinking. Tao Le admired him very much.

The reaction has been getting faster and faster recently, and the lies I make up seem to be the same. Anyway, there is a nominal teacher Zhou Ji who knows all about it, so there is nothing wrong with it!

"Then thank you Doctor Tao." Ye Chen smiled: "There's no problem keeping it secret - we'll start the treatment after dinner, how about it?"

There was a reason why Ye Chen was so anxious. He couldn't tell Tao Le about this reason, but she would know it sooner or later.

The Medical Department, starting from the director down, has been squeezing him out recently, intentionally or unintentionally.

He heard some rumors that the hospital was about to rectify the hospital atmosphere. Some people were clearly in their prime, and they should have been fighting on the front lines of medical treatment, but they wanted to hide in the second-line departments.

Ye Chen knew very well how Director Sun acted. Soon he will be transferred from the medical department and transferred back to the front-line department.

An attending surgeon who cannot get on the operating table will always be a dwarf wherever he goes, and he will never be able to get to a higher position in the future.

He has no objection to this arrangement, but he hopes that when facing patients, he can still be as before, with no shaking hands, no panic, and a calm and calm response.

Tao Le is the one who can break the ice. He was convinced of this.

Child health clinic.

This place is usually very quiet, especially during lunch break today because Xie Baoshu is not here.

His family could no longer tolerate this single man in his early thirties, so they arranged several blind dates for him, including one of them at noon today.

For this reason, he changed his clothes in a hurry, asked Tao Le to help him review his style, and then disappeared without a trace with a confident step.

Acupuncture is not suitable after a full meal, so they waited for half an hour before starting the formal treatment.

Essential tremor is a neurological disease related to central nervous system degeneration.

Tao Le checked Ye Chen's pulse and found out that the syndrome was liver stagnation and blood deficiency, wind, phlegm and blood stasis blocking the meridians. The treatment should be based on extinguishing wind and stopping tremors, supplemented by nourishing liver and kidney, replenishing qi and blood, activating collaterals and unblocking blood stasis. Clear blood and detoxify.

For this purpose, she specifically selected seven acupoints: Fengchi, Sishencong, Quchi, Hegu, Yanglingquan, Taichong and Taixi to replenish the liver and kidneys, calm the liver and calm wind.

"If it is just to treat essential tremor, then two more acupuncture sessions tomorrow and the day after tomorrow will be enough." Tao Le put away the needles one by one: "But if Teacher Ye also wants to treat lumbar muscle strain, then he will have to do it a few more times. "

"Oh? Can Chinese medicine diagnose lumbar muscle strain by checking the pulse?" Ye Chen was curious.

"Yes. Lumbar muscle strain is a paralysis syndrome in traditional Chinese medicine. Teacher Ye's syndrome is blood stasis type paralysis, and it has a tendency to get worse. If it is convenient, it is better to treat it as early as possible."

Ye Chen's lumbar muscle strain has been with him for several years. He was very tired during those few days in Tianqiao Village, and the old problem recurred.

I originally thought that I would have to rely on plaster to survive this period of time, but I didn't expect that Tao Le would see it.

"Then please help me treat it together!"
