Seeing Su Tao staring at Tony silently, Joanna frowned and said, "What's wrong?"

Su Tao sighed and asked, "When your grandfather was sick, did he have a similar situation and like to bite?"

Joanna hesitated for a moment, nodded, and sighed, "This is our family's secret. ”

Su Tao sighed and said in a deep voice: "Your family not only has a genetic history of split personality, but I am afraid there is also a genetic history of porphyria. ”

Joanna nodded and said, "You're right, after the examination in Italy, Tony did have porphyria, he has been taking medication, but the doctor can't do anything about his mental condition. ”

Porphyria is also known as vampire disease, isn't this a real-life version of Count de Koala?

Joanna didn't mean to hide it from Su Tao, but it involved family secrets.

If it is known that their family has vampire disease, it will affect the reputation of the family.

Su Tao has a bit of a headache, as a doctor, he is most afraid of encountering two types of diseases, the first is a recognized incurable terminal disease, and the second is a genetic disease. Tony's disease falls into the latter category, and there are two genetic diseases, not only physiological, but also psychological, which can be extremely intractable.

This also made Su Tao associate with the legend of vampires, and normal people would be terrified when they met Tony, a person with a strange complexion and at the same time crazy like a messenger from hell.

Su Tao patiently explained: "Porphyria, also known as hemopurple matter, is a relatively rare clinical disorder of blood metabolism, which is caused by the disorder of porphyrin metabolism in the body, and the increase in the production and excretion of porphyrins. TCM does not have a corresponding name for the disease, which can be associated with 'abdominal pain' and 'blood accumulation syndrome'. Abdominal pain due to porphyria sometimes appears suddenly and stops abruptly. There is a similar record in the Ming Dynasty's "Ancient and Modern Medical Review": "There is often heat in the abdomen, and the pain stops". In addition, the abdominal pain of porphyria is similar to the abdominal pain of the "blood accumulation syndrome" of traditional Chinese medicine, such as the Ming Dynasty "Jingyue Quanshu" said: "Those who have abdominal pain due to blood accumulation are also blood accumulation syndromes". ”

Although Joanna learned Chinese well, Su Tao spoke too professionally, and there were too many literary expressions, so she inevitably looked at a loss, she shook her head and sighed: "I don't understand." ”

Su Tao continued: "In short, there is still a cure for Tony's illness. The key is to identify the cause, and the cause is in Tony's liver. ”

"What happened to his liver?" said Joanna in surprise.

"The liver of Chinese medicine and the liver of Western medicine cannot be confused. Su Tao knew that Joanna had misunderstood and thought that there was something wrong with Tony's liver.

The onset of porphyria has a lot to do with emotion. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the liver is the official of the general, and the sexual movement is the main discharge. If you are depressed or irritable and angry, it can hurt the liver, the liver is out of balance, the discharge is unfavorable, and the qi is blocked and paralyzed. Due to the blockage of the qi machine, the abdominal qi is blocked, and if it is not passed, it is painful, so abdominal pain occurs.

In addition, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, all mental illnesses belong to liver qi stagnation, and Tony's split personality is also caused by liver qi stagnation.

Su Tao carefully observed Tony's condition again, his complexion was yellowish, the moss was thin and greasy, the texture was dark red, the pulse was thin, and the waist and legs were sore.

Su Tao helped Tony to the bed at the back of the private room, then untied Tony's clothes and began to help Tony with acupuncture with a silver needle. In a few moments, Tony's body was covered in silver needles, and he looked like a hedgehog.

Su Tao uses two sets of acupuncture methods, one is the Xuyang acupuncture technique, which mainly focuses on Tony's foot syncope yin and liver meridians, and the other is the thirteen acupuncture of the ghost gate, which is aimed at the "thirteen ghost points".

The Xuyang acupuncture technique is used to treat Tony's porphyria, which is mainly to open up the liver meridian and expel the stagnant liver qi.

The thirteen ghost blood is the thirteen empirical acupoints for the treatment of mental disorders in ancient times, from the "Thousand Golden Prescriptions", which is suitable for all mental disorders, such as hysteria, schizophrenia, madness, etc., and can also be used for mania caused by high fever.

The ancients believed that there were ghosts and monsters in the human body that refused to leave, so that people had a series of abnormal manifestations, in fact, it was also related to the meridian acupoints of the human body, and the use of these thirteen experience points helped to alleviate the symptoms of mental illness.

Joanna is a layman, but when she saw Su Tao's needles flying, she couldn't help but sigh at the mystery and shock of acupuncture.

From the perspective of a foreigner who has never been exposed to acupuncture, wouldn't it hurt to die if so many fine needles pierced into the human body?

However, Joanna did not hinder Su Tao's healing and silently observed everything, because she trusted Su Tao's medical skills.

Finally, Su Tao pulled out all the silver needles on Tony's body, and Tony slowly opened his eyes and looked at Su Tao and Joanna with a confused expression. Immediately, he quickly recognized Su Tao and asked vigilantly, "Why am I here?" Joanna, tell me why, this guy will appear in front of me. ”

Joanna found that Tony's condition had changed a lot, Tony was always semi-conscious before, but now his eyes were clear, and his speech was extremely fluent, without that ignorant and crazy look.

Joanna was a little excited, her eyes were red, and she choked up: "You are sick, so I brought you here for treatment." ”

"Let him heal?" Tony patted his head, although after Su Tao gave him acupuncture, his split personality and porphyria were alleviated a lot, but he hit his head just now, and it was inevitable that there would be sequelae at the moment, "Is he so kind?"

Tony's two sentences are deliberately in Chinese.

Tony is still haunted by the Seven Mountains Incident, when Su Tao and Anderson teamed up to create an anti-poison drug, which led to his fiasco, arrest, and imprisonment.

Su Tao glanced at Tony calmly and said lightly: "If it weren't for Joanna asking me for help, I would definitely not treat you." In addition, your condition is only slightly relieved, and if it is not consolidated, it will continue to recur. ”

Tony muttered, "Do you want me to thank you? I will definitely take revenge on you. ”

When Joanna saw that Tony was sober, she was so repulsed by Su Tao that she was angry, she raised her hand high and slapped her brother's face fiercely.

Tony was stunned by Joanna's actions, "You actually hit me?"

Joanna frowned, and said coldly: "I'm going to wake you up, you're too stubborn, completely hopeless." Have you forgotten what you have done during this time?"

Tony has a split personality, he always thought that everything he did before was done by another person, and now Su Tao has awakened his other personality, so he forgot what he did before.

Tony frowned, "What did I do?"

Joanna took out her phone, handed it to Tony, and said angrily, "See for yourself!"

Tony saw himself on the screen, like a mad dog all the time, smashing things everywhere, and anyone who approached, no matter how close they were, would be beaten and bitten mercilessly by him.

"It's definitely not me. Tony looked at Joanna in horror.

Joanna sighed, snatched the phone from Tony's hand, and picked out a photo of their mother, Monica. Monica has a blue nose and swollen face, is bandaged, her eyes are closed, and there is still the delicate appearance of a Roman noblewoman.

But Monica is the mother of the two, and her appearance has changed a lot, because of the blood relationship, there will definitely be no dislike at all.

Joanna burst into tears and said, "Do you know who the murderer is? ”

Tony hugged his head, shook his head vigorously, and said, "No way, I would never do that, how could I hurt Monica." ”

Su Tao sighed, pressed Joanna's shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Don't continue to stimulate him, otherwise, he will reject his current personality, and then another hidden personality will reappear." Now this personality, although stubborn and unknowing, is at least a little more acceptable than that violent and crazy personality. ”

Joanna wiped the tears from her eyes and pleaded, "Please heal him, I can promise you whatever the price." ”

Su Tao hurriedly said: "I am a doctor, and it is my job to treat diseases and save people. It's not that I don't want to treat him, it's that his condition needs to be treated for a while, and it won't be successful overnight. Of course, first of all, he needs to be willing to cooperate with the treatment, and judging from his current state, it is obvious that he will not cooperate. ”

Joanna squatted down and whispered in Italian: "Tony, don't be nervous, Monica knows that you are sick, and she will definitely not blame you." As long as you can heal completely, Monica will definitely be very happy. For her sake, you obediently cooperate with Doctor Su to receive treatment, okay?"

Tony's mood slowly stabilized, and he glanced up at Joanna to see that his sister's gaze was clear and sincere. The ice in Tony's heart also melted instantly, he nodded weakly, and said in a deep voice, "Okay, I'm willing to accept rehabilitation." ”

Joanna's eyes flashed with surprise, and she immediately said in Chinese: "He agreed." ”

"I'll prescribe you a prescription, and if nothing happens, there will be a noticeable improvement in a month. If you continue to take it for half a year, the symptoms will be completely relieved. When the time comes, I will prescribe you another prescription to strengthen your foundation, and as long as there is no major accident, your condition will never recur. Su Tao said patiently.

The reason why Su Tao didn't rush to say his next treatment plan was that he had considered it, and now Tony and himself are patients and doctors, so he must resolve the knots and contradictions between the two, otherwise even if he uses the medicine accurately, Tony has doubts in his heart, and the treatment effect will definitely be reduced.

Su Tao sat on the chair and quickly wrote a prescription: 15 grams of raw rehmannia root, 20 grams of raw white peony, 15 grams of sweet wolfberry seeds, 15 grams of ligustrum seeds, 20 grams of shou wu wu, 15 grams of dendrobium chuan, 10 grams of jatamansi, 20 grams of Guangyu gold, 10 grams of angelica oil, 30 grams of whole melon, 8 grams of fried citrus aurantium, 15 grams of Xu Changqing, 8 grams of green tangerine peel, 8 grams of licorice......

This prescription is modified on the basis of the treatment of blood accumulation in the "Imperial Doctor Sutra", and the classic prescription generally does not need to be changed, but Su Tao is now a master of medicine, and he has already changed the level of the famous prescription, and adjusting or adding or deleting one or two herbs can have a better effect.

After Joanna took the prescription, Su Tao carefully advised: "Take the prescription to Sanweitang, someone will prepare the medicine for you." You need to stay in China for a period of time, return to the clinic after two weeks, change prescriptions according to the situation, continue to observe, and wait for a thorough recovery before you can return to China. ”
