Hu Qiming laid out his analysis.
Li Xu nodded, indicating his approval.
Hu Qiming's fundamentals were solid. His ability to analyze the pathogenesis so thoroughly showed he already had the makings of a qualified TCM doctor.
But the subtlety of Chinese medicine often lies in seemingly insignificant details and the grasp of "time and space."
Li Xu looked back at the couple.
The husband's brow was still furrowed, his face a mask of bitterness.
"Give me your hand. I'm going to take your pulse."
Li Xu gestured.
The middle-aged man hesitantly extended his hand.
A moment later, Li Xu had finished reading the pulses in both wrists.
The left pulse was wiry, hard, and deep.
Wiry indicates the liver, hard indicates stagnation, and deep indicates an internal condition.
This indicated his liver meridian was deficient in blood and his liver qi was very deeply stagnated. It was no longer a superficial qi stagnation, but a stagnation that had penetrated to the blood level.
