Why should Chinese medicine feel the pulse?

Pulse diagnosis, also known as pulse-taking, pulse-smoothing and pulse-taking, is one of the four diagnostic methods in traditional Chinese medicine and a necessary means of diagnosis in traditional Chinese medicine. Perhaps influenced by novels, movies and TV plays, some people think that Chinese medicine can only take the pulse to see a doctor, not only to see what disease the patient has, what symptoms he has, but also to prescribe the right medicine, eliminate the disease with medicine and even kill people. So that when some patients see a doctor, they sit in the consulting room and reach out to the doctor for it. They said nothing and asked the doctor to feel their pulse. If the doctor can't see anything wrong and can't say anything wrong, he thinks the doctor can't do it. The legend that only pulse diagnosis can see a doctor has existed since ancient times, and the highest even reached the "peak" of "hanging silk pulse diagnosis" Why is there such a wonderful thing? Throughout the ages, the man who is most afraid of wearing a cuckold is precisely the man with the most wives-the emperor. Not only the waiters in the harem are castrated into eunuchs, but any man who has access to the queen and concubines should be as prepared as the Pharaoh next door. For example, when the queen's concubines are ill, most doctors are men. Men and women don't kiss, don't see patients, don't feel the pulse, how to diagnose the disease? The ancients gave full play to their imagination and genius creativity, so they invented the stunt of "suspension spring taking the pulse". The patient is in the tent and the doctor is outside. One end of a silk thread is connected to the patient's wrist (where the pulse is felt with an inch ruler), and the other end is held by the doctor's hand to feel the pulse. If this method can really diagnose the pulse, it is the earliest "remote diagnosis". Even in modern times, Chinese medicine practitioners who can see a doctor simply through pulse diagnosis have heard from time to time. It is said that there was a famous doctor in Beijing who only took his pulse when he saw a doctor, then prescribed medicine and left. When I was a college student in Hunan College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, my TCM diagnostics teacher also said that there was an old TCM doctor in our college who was good at pulse diagnosis. On one occasion, the patient was said to have right lower pulmonary tuberculosis only by pulse, because pulmonary tuberculosis is usually located in the upper lung. It is great to diagnose tuberculosis only by pulse, and it can also accurately determine the location of rare diseases. Teachers and students couldn't believe it, and everyone was surprised that the patient's photo was correct after inspection. It should be pointed out that some diseases can still be seen in the pulse, for example, the pulse intensity is different, which is likely to be atrial fibrillation; It's just that the heart rate is different, which may be coronary heart disease or simple arrhythmia; If the pulse is fast and weak, it may be heart failure; The pulse is too weak to touch, or the rhythm is irregular at the same time, the patient may go into shock and his life is dying; Wait a minute. Probably when I was a sophomore, I went home by train during the winter vacation. My roommate is a sister with a beautiful girl. I learned that I am a graduate student in medical college, and I heard that I am a junior in College of Traditional Chinese Medicine. She curiously asked me to feel my pulse. When I felt her pulse, I felt it beating strongly. I feel that my pulse is slightly weak and hard, but it is not thin and empty. I thought this girl's pulse was a typical floating pulse, so I said, you have a cold! During this period, she did not have cold symptoms such as cough, runny nose and sneezing. It didn't help me diagnose. She immediately said, really, I've had a cold for several days, and I'm a little cold. Another time, a girl in her twenties came to feel my pulse. I think her pulse is "like a vegetable turning into a pearl", which is a typical slippery pulse, which is what the ancients called "happy pulse"! I don't know if she is married or has a boyfriend, so I have to say in an uncertain tone: not pregnant! It turns out that she has been infertile for many years after marriage and is taking Chinese medicine for treatment! My period is coming in February, and the test proves that I am pregnant, and then I gave birth to twins! Whether the pulse condition can diagnose diseases, how many diseases can be diagnosed and to what extent depends on the doctor's personal accomplishment, and can't be completely denied. If the pulse is all a lie, it can only prove that the person who said this is ignorant. However, any diagnostic technique is one-sided and limited, and no one inspection method can diagnose all diseases. Pulse diagnosis is only one of the methods of diagnosing diseases in traditional Chinese medicine, so is pulse diagnosis in traditional Chinese medicine, and so is the inspection in western medicine. Just like stethoscope can't hear diabetes, CT can't diagnose insomnia and blood test can't diagnose cerebral hemorrhage. I have a gift for dullness. It has been more than 30 years since I began to study Chinese medicine in university. Although I can diagnose some diseases only by pulse diagnosis, I haven't cultivated to the point where I can diagnose all diseases only by pulse diagnosis. Sometimes it is right, sometimes it is a big mistake. There are a few diseases that can be diagnosed simply by pulse diagnosis, which is more difficult or even impossible. If someone says that all diseases can be diagnosed accurately by taking the pulse, I personally think it is either a doctor or a liar. Liars are common, but doctors are not. The university teacher I mentioned above told another story in class: At that time, the teacher was still young and went to a county hospital to support agriculture. A person walks into the consulting room, holds out his hand to the teacher without saying a word, just waiting for the teacher to tell him what's wrong with him and what's wrong with him. The teacher thought, this is the examiner to test me. But the patient's pulse is calm, and there is really nothing wrong.
