Followed by "illness." In traditional Chinese medicine, "disease" refers to the qi and blood problems of various meridians-more or less, or hyperactivity or inferiority, or obstruction or failure of operation, or deviation from meridians or humiliation. Therefore, looking at pulse diagnosis only depends on the problems that Chinese medicine cares about, not the name or index of the doctor.
Finally, the doctor. The pulse is absolutely accurate. It's hard to say how good this person can be. Traditional Chinese medicine is governed by inaction, which is bottomless, can cultivate to the true state, and has profound attainments, but it is impossible to meet. Therefore, don't see all Chinese medicine practitioners pursuing "reaching out with one hand and getting it done with one hand". You know, there is another diagnostic method called "syndrome differentiation and treatment".
Looking, smelling, asking and feeling-the purpose of understanding human qi and blood can also be achieved by pushing the back from the outside to the inside. It is worth noting that the "pulse" here is an empirical level, mainly through the analysis of pulse conditions such as size, fluctuation, strength and speed, which belongs to the empirical level of pulse diagnosis and is an introductory stage. The reason why it is put forward specifically is to prevent readers from thinking that Chinese medicine is not good because it has been used, even if people take your pulse. We should know that the experience level of pulse diagnosis, like the other three diagnoses, is a theoretical derivation. It is no problem to solve the less complicated situation, and it is inevitable that the scale is not enough when it comes to the more complicated situation.
Because the theory of traditional Chinese medicine is higher than the material level, the science that needs to be realistic can't reach it, and it can't participate in diagnosis and application at all. Therefore, it brings a sense of insecurity of "seeing is believing" to laymen, so that Chinese medicine is controversial, and pulse diagnosis is even more controversial.
