The condition of the righteous qi of the human body can be known by observing its external manifestations, while the location of the invasion of the evil qi and the degree of conflict between the evil and the good can only be determined through detailed consultation and diagnosis. However, we can judge whether the patient is in a yin, yang, false, or positive state by observing his or her righteous qi, mental energy, and current state.
In terms of yin and yang syndrome, we can judge according to the patient's complexion, posture, mental state, etc. For example, if the patient is pale, cringe, or mentally exhausted, then it is likely to be a negative sign;And if the patient has a ruddy complexion, a strong body, and is in good spirits, then it is likely to be a sign of impotence.
In terms of false evidence and empirical evidence, we can also judge by observing the patient's external performance. For example, if the patient shows symptoms such as fatigue, loss of appetite, thirst and dry throat, then it is likely to be a false syndrome;And if the patient shows symptoms such as body aches, abdominal distension, and cough with excessive phlegm, then it is likely to be empirical.
In addition, we can also judge the degree of conflict between the righteous qi and the evil by observing the patient's pulse and tongue. For example, if the patient's pulse is weak and the tongue is pale and pale, then it is likely that the righteous qi is insufficient;And if the patient's pulse is strong and the tongue is red, then it is likely that the evil spirit is strong.
Why are we so easy to lose the general direction, resulting in the emergence of the ** plan of virtual reality, cold and heat, and yin and yang?This is largely due to the fact that we rely too much on the dialectical thinking of Xi inertia. Whether we Xi learn from books, learn from teachers, or observe on our own, overly strong logical thinking often leads us into mistakes. In fact, what really matters is to observe the patient truthfully, to pay attention to their physical signs, to pay attention to their responses during the interview, and to palpate. However, in large hospitals, we are often unable to do this due to time and resource constraints.
In a busy healthcare environment, we are often trained to handle patients quickly and efficiently. Although this model helps to improve the efficiency of medical care, it also leads us to rely too much on the established dialectical thinking and ignore the individual differences of patients. We may base our judgments on textbooks or what teachers impart, or our own experience, rather than on actual observations and diagnoses of patients.
In addition, the tendency to standardize and quantify in the modern healthcare system may also influence our decision-making. We may pay more attention to quantitative indicators such as laboratory data and imaging test results of patients, and ignore the subjective feelings and clinical manifestations of patients. This bias towards data-driven decision-making can take us off track to truly understand the patient.
To change this, we need to develop a more holistic clinical mindset. We need to pay more attention to the patient's overall condition, including their signs, symptoms, mood, lifestyle, and other aspects. We need to learn to listen to our patients, understand their needs and concerns, and not just rely on data and logic to make a diagnosis. Only in this way can we more accurately grasp the direction of the first and avoid the first plan of virtual and real, cold and heat, and yin and yang.
Be careful not to be led by the logical dialectical thinking of our Xi habituality, or the dialectical pattern in books, to lead us into a trap that we are not aware of, neglecting to observe truthfully, communicate with patients, and touch
