Chapter 007: The Four Diagnostic Methods of Traditional Chinese Medicine

An Yuhang did not dare to trust the goddess casually, so he deliberately thought to himself: "Goddess... don't you know what the term 'goddess' means? It means prostitute... Haha... If you are going to be a prostitute, you should have the awareness of a prostitute. Hurry up and transform into Song Ke'er to perform a striptease for me, okay?"

An Yuhang did not sense any flaws in the performance of the goddess, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, even if this intelligent program could truly make him the world's foremost divine doctor, he would certainly be unwilling to have something that could constantly peer into his inner world by his side

Speaking of which, An Yuhang indeed has a certain desire to see what the goddess, transformed into a physical form, would look like if she were to perform a striptease. However... such a vulgar thought was naturally something he felt too embarrassed to voice. Therefore, although An Yuhang contemplated this in his mind, he certainly did not wish for the goddess to actually hear it.

In An Yuhang's mind, the goddess's highly anthropomorphic laughter echoed once again

Next is the interpretation of the character "wen" in the four examinations of Traditional Chinese Medicine. An Yuhang stood up at the request of the goddess and specifically leaned his head in front of the old man, taking a deep breath to sense the scent emitted by the old man's breath. At the same time, it seemed as if he could distinguish various different scents in his consciousness.

Um ... m.hetushu.com.com ... Ah ... ... Ya ... ...

The old man was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and then nodded vigorously.

However, it is unfortunate that this time the goddess did not heed An Yuhang's instructions, but instead intended to immediately implement a teaching plan for An Yuhang through this case. Although An Yuhang is the goddess's master, the goddess is also An Yuhang's medical mentor. Therefore, in matters concerning medical education, even An Yuhang, as the master, has no authority to command the goddess.

Just like a parched sponge absorbing abundant knowledge, An Yuhang was suddenly interrupted, and naturally, his mood was not very good. He couldn't help but glare at Fang Zhengsheng with some annoyance, before turning to the elderly man in front of him. Clearing his throat, he said: "If I am not mistaken, sir, you have been suffering from this illness for almost half a year now, haven't you"

After the goddess integrated into the network of this world, she gained a comprehensive understanding of the medical system here. To her astonishment, she discovered that traditional Chinese medicine, which is gradually declining, shares many similarities with the most advanced medical systems in her own world. Consequently, the goddess devised a teaching plan for An Yuhang that is more suited to the actual circumstances of this world, intending to start with traditional Chinese medicine to rapidly elevate An Yuhang's medical rank.

However, precisely because the amount of information in this area is exceedingly rich, even though the goddess can directly simulate through consciousness to allow An Yuhang to perceive the differences in various pulse patterns in the most direct manner, it is still impossible to complete a teaching course in this area within a short period of time

Among the four diagnostic methods of traditional Chinese medicine, the most remarkable is undoubtedly the technique of "pulse diagnosis." Ordinary individuals can only ascertain the pulse rate by feeling the throbbing of the blood vessels, whereas truly experienced practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine can derive a wealth of information regarding a person's health from it

The old man trembled his lips and uttered a few words, but his speech was extremely unclear, making it completely unintelligible what he was trying to say

Rest assured, in our world, there are strict privacy protection laws. Whether it concerns natural beings or intelligent entities, it is absolutely prohibited to inquire about or disclose another's personal privacy in any manner. Therefore, my program includes a privacy protection setting that automatically encrypts any information you, as the master, do not wish to disclose to me. Without your permission, I am unable to interpret this portion of your brainwave signals.

The middle-aged man was about to reprimand An Yuhang, but unexpectedly, An Yuhang seemed to have completely ignored his words. He pretended to be serious and reached out to grasp the old man's wrist, feeling the old man's pulse while inquiring, "May I ask, old sir, where do you feel unwell?"

As An Yuhang spoke, his eyes remained fixed on the face of the elderly man in front of him, while countless images of faces had already evolved in his mind... At the same time, he heard the voice of the goddess explaining the hidden meanings revealed by the various changes in skin color

After seeing An Yuhang sit down on the chair, he began to stare blankly ahead, remaining motionless for a long time. The old man's son finally couldn't hold back any longer and forcefully knocked on the table again, saying irritably: "If you can't do it, just admit defeat quickly and stop wasting our time here, alright?"

Hello... I am asking you, do you even know how to treat patients?

Uh... is this really true? There are actually such humane settings! An Yuhang certainly hopes that what the goddess said is true, as it would give him a sense of security. However... intelligent beings may not necessarily be incapable of lying, right?

The goddess enabled An Yuhang to quickly grasp what the breath and body odor of a healthy person were like, as well as the scent of the gas exhaled by individuals with stomach ailments, and the odor of the gas exhaled by those with liver dysfunction... This direct simulation of scents within An Yuhang's consciousness was particularly vivid, and he was nearly overwhelmed by the dozens of different odors, almost causing him to vomit.

Just as An Yuhang had only begun to grasp a superficial understanding of pulse diagnosis, Fang Zhengsheng approached and roughly pushed An Yuhang and the book aside, then coldly remarked: "I’m sorry... the five minutes are up. If you cannot diagnose this elderly gentleman’s condition, then you may as well resign yourself!"

An Yuhang finally came to his senses, raised his head to glance at the middle-aged man with an unfriendly expression, then smiled slightly and said: "Are you not aware that traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes observation, listening, inquiry, and palpation? Since it is my turn to diagnose this elderly gentleman, I naturally need to first observe his complexion. Why are you in such a hurry?"

Of course, it is very humane

The onlookers found it quite amusing to see An Yuhang stretching his head towards the old man, sniffing like a little dog. However, the old man's son felt that An Yuhang was deliberately putting on a show and couldn't help but shout again, "I ask you, do you even know how to treat patients? Let me tell you..."

Originally, An Yuhang intended to have the goddess, like last time, directly organize the medical records of that old man across the way in meticulous detail, and then he would simply recite a few lines from it, ensuring that he could astonish everyone present.

An Yuhang could only shake his head helplessly upon hearing this, and he was too lazy to explain to this ignorant person the importance of the "Inquiry" in the four diagnostic methods of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Instead, he focused his mind on absorbing the knowledge about pulse diagnosis imparted by the goddess in his mind.

The elderly man across from him was momentarily taken aback, and then suddenly became agitated, shouting at An Yuhang in a flurry of incomprehensible words

Since that is the case, I can rest assured

An Yuhang smiled and continued to ask: "This illness of yours has only worsened suddenly in the past month, hasn't it? Previously, you only felt a heaviness in your head and lightness in your feet, with occasional numbness in your limbs. But a month ago, you suddenly felt a loss of control in your hands and feet, and you couldn't even speak... Is that correct?"

It seems that the goddess did not hear An Yuhang's subsequent thoughts at all; she merely continued to explain in An Yuhang's mind: "After all, we intelligent beings are also created by humans, and naturally, the humans who created us would not want us to glimpse their true inner world. Therefore, such protective measures are certainly indispensable. Even without legal constraints, the designers would never be foolish enough to create an intelligent program that could expose their own inner secrets at any time"

Fortunately, the teaching method of the goddess is not only unique but also highly effective. Just through a comparative analysis of different facial expressions, it immediately enabled An Yuhang to grasp much knowledge that he had previously only seen in books but could not comprehend the meaning of.

The elderly man's son could not help but snort coldly and said, "My father has been incoherent since the onset of his illness, and he is completely unable to communicate normally with others. If you can understand, then do so. If we already knew what illness he had, why would we need to consult you doctors at all?"
