Without clinical experience, it’s normal to make incorrect judgments.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xuan consoled her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Su Kenan earnestly looked at Lu Xuan, thinking, But you wouldn’t!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought for a moment and said softly, \"Ms. Xu’s pulse on the left hand is very light; I can barely feel it. As for the right hand, it’s somewhat similar to the left, but I feel there’s a difference that I can’t quite articulate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you read Benhu Pulse Study?\" Lu Xuan asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Kenan nodded slightly. These were mandatory courses at the Traditional Chinese Medicine University, and she memorized them, though understanding without real-life cases was difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Having read it is good enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xuan nodded and continued, \"Ms. Xu’s left pulse is wiry and thin, and the right is slow and weak. Let’s talk about the wiry-thin pulse first. The Benhu Pulse Study’s Body Condition Poem explains the fine pulse: ’A fine pulse signifies declining blood qi, general deficiencies, labor injuries, and emotional disorders; unless dampness invades the kidneys, it is due to damage from essence and sweating.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To put it in modern terms, it’s generally seen in qi and blood deficiency, or when affected by dampness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In qi and blood deficiency, because the yin and blood lack abundance, they cannot fill the vessels. From the qi-deficient aspect, since qi has a driving force, its deficiency cannot stimulate blood circulation, thus reducing fullness of the vessels, resulting in a weak, tiny pulse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding the heavy, sticky aspect of dampness, encountering damp evil can affect qi and blood circulation, leading to a thin and slow pulse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wiry pulse is characterized by being straight and long, like pressing on a zither string, just as if pressing a string.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In traditional Chinese medicine, the liver controls the skin and flesh, so a wiry pulse typically suggests liver and bile system issues, given liver diseases often involve stasis, leading to liver qi stagnation and resulting in a wiry pulse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, Lu Xuan discussed Xu Zijie’s pulse on the right hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Su Kenan didn’t fully understand, she tried her best to note it down, planning to ponder over it later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside them, although Xu Zijie wasn’t medically trained, she curiously asked after listening to Lu Xuan, \"Dr. Lu, though I don’t fully grasp what you said, there’s something I did understand. Since it’s a liver and bile issue, why do I feel dizzy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Kenan was also puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was curious about this too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even more curious about how Lu Xuan, only two years older than her, knew so much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xuan explained with a smile, \"The terms ’vertigo’ and ’dizziness’ are not one symptom but two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Darkening of vision is vertigo, and spinning is dizziness. These two symptoms often appear together, which is why we refer to them as dizziness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the symptom is in the head, the pathological change could occur in any of the three jiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it’s in the upper jiao, it’s usually due to wind phlegm; in the middle jiao, it could be due to the inability of pure yang to ascend and turbid yin to descend; in the lower jiao, it’s due to liver and kidney insufficiency.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zijie looked confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Kenan only half-understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xuan didn’t mind; after all, Xu Zijie wasn’t in the medical field, and it was normal not to understand, while Su Kenan had just graduated and hadn’t encountered medical cases, so her half-understanding was normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He continued, \"In Ms. Xu’s case, given the increasing frequency of dizziness and referring to the pulse condition, the problem should originate in the kidneys.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zijie was even more bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hurriedly asked, \"Dr. Lu, didn’t you just say it mostly involves the liver and gallbladder?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xuan smiled, not answering immediately, but instead turned to Su Kenan, \"What do you think?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Kenan remained silent for a while, then looked up at Lu Xuan and shook her head slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The question was too complex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t figure it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xuan wasn’t surprised, explaining, \"The liver symptoms are only manifestations, not the cause. Your dizziness results from insufficient kidney water unable to nourish the liver, leading to hyperactive yang.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t understand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zijie shook her head in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s okay if you don’t understand, just think of it as some additional knowledge.\" Lu Xuan said casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zijie looked up seriously and replied, \"Although I don’t get it, it sounds impressive. When I visited other traditional Chinese medicine practitioners before, they wouldn’t explain things like this to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, I’m a bit curious...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Curious about what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zijie pondered, \"Dr. Lu, you’re so young, how did you learn so thoroughly? You seem even more knowledgeable than some old experts who’ve been in Chinese medicine for decades.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perhaps I have a special talent or ability.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xuan said with a smile, although no one knew, it was an objective reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn’t expect Dr. Lu to be so talkative, no wonder so many girls like him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zijie burst into laughter, not doubting further, and specifically glanced at the somewhat shy Su Kenan with an understanding look in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seemingly having anticipated Xu Zijie’s disbelief, Lu Xuan didn’t bother explaining further, but her last glance and comment left him feeling a bit helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was really nothing going on with Su Kenan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it was hard to explain as once someone had made up their mind, the more one explained, the more misinterpreted it could become, eventually turning true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t want to date.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having unlocked this talent, he wished to use his limited time to enrich himself and accumulate clinical experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, Dr. Lu, can my condition be treated?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the laughter, Xu Zijie didn’t forget about the main issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xuan contemplated for a moment, \"I’ll prescribe you some medicine to take for a week. As long as you don’t skip doses, the problem shouldn’t be significant. That said, given your condition has been ongoing for several years, I can’t guarantee anything, but if you want a complete cure, it won’t be quick.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Time isn’t a concern; after six years, a few more months of medication won’t hurt.\" Xu Zijie replied quite nonchalantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xuan nodded, wrote down the prescription, and looked at Su Kenan, \"You enter it into the system, I’ll prepare the medicine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Or...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Kenan hesitated, \"I can prepare the medicine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No worries, your foot isn’t well. We’ll talk about it once it’s better.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Lu Xuan walked directly into the herbal medicine room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Lu Xuan entered the herbal medicine room, Su Kenan came to her senses and began operating the medical system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With nothing to do, Xu Zijie peeked over, then smiled and asked, \"Are you Dr. Lu’s girlfriend?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Kenan’s face turned red instantly, shaking her head vigorously, \"No, no, I’m just interning today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really not?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zijie’s face was full of doubt. The way Su Kenan looked at Lu Xuan just didn’t seem like they had just met.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, despite Lu Xuan’s attentive care for her, it didn’t quite seem like the concern between a couple, which also made Xu Zijie quite curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced at the blushing, slightly shy Su Kenan, suddenly having an ’aha’ moment, looking at her with disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Courtship?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unbelievable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering Su Kenan was indeed very beautiful, prettier than most celebrities, especially with her pure lotus-like demeanor, even as a woman, Xu Zijie felt amazed, let alone men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But given Dr. Lu’s skills, and with Su Kenan being in the medical field herself, being drawn to Lu Xuan seemed quite natural.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Dr. Lu was quite handsome too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With skills and good looks, how many young girls could resist?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Xu Zijie had to admit, if she were a few years younger, she too would pursue Dr. Lu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she truly succeeded, she wouldn’t have to worry about gynecological problems in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nor would she need to worry about the awkwardness of hospital visits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had heard that Dr. Lu was quite skilled with gynecological issues, as several doctors in the Health Center’s pediatrics department sought his expertise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a pity!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zijie sighed, with a sense of lament at life’s timing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The prescription is ready.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Kenan’s quiet reminder brought Xu Zijie back from her contemplation of life’s impermanence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ready?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Print out the order, I’ll scan and pay it directly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Kenan printed the payment information along with the prescription and handed it to Xu Zijie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time Lu Xuan came out of the herbal medicine room, Xu Zijie had already completed the payment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding the medicine, before leaving, Xu Zijie seemed to recall something, and turned to look at Su Kenan and encouraged her, \"Hang in there!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hang in there?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xuan looked puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Kenan was a bit dazed, but the next moment, she glanced at her own foot, then at Lu Xuan who had turned to look at her and showed determination:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lu Xuan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once my foot heals, I’ll give you a massage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1533,"2026-06-06T07:37:12.316Z",1,"novelbin.me","d3932e1d00050b439be368b52e8a990b659db2b09df24b32cbfa69099e2d308a","i-can-hear-the-heart-s-voice-of-traditional-chin-chapter-69","i-can-hear-the-heart-s-voice-of-traditional-chin-chapter-67",547,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-can-hear-the-heart-s-voice-of-traditional-chin-cover.jpg"]
