Facial Palsy Alleviated Immediately with the Power of Acupuncture!

To be honest, when I first began the observation, I had not been looking forward to witnessing many rare and tricky diseases like other trainee doctors in Taiwan had been, although my master, Dr. Chong-Kai Wen, had been well-known for his treatment of tricky diseases. However, as I usually had not dealt with this kind of patient, even if I had learnt how to treat them, there probably wouldn't have been many patients coming to see me. Therefore, my view had been realistic instead. If I could learn, and become specialized in, how to treat one of the common and tricky diseases and focus on patients of that disease, for me this kind of learning approach would have been most solid and pragmatic. The disease that I had targeted to learn and been most interested in is facial palsy (also called Bell's palsy). Clinically, this disease is quite common. In Western medicine, the treatment approach is mostly for the patients to take steroids and Vitamin B Complex for one week. If the condition does not get better, it means that it cannot be cured. The longer the disease is left untreated, the more difficult it will become to handle. I firmly believe that acupuncture is the best option when it comes to the treatment of facial palsy. I also know that more and more patients are coming to realise that they need to consult Chinese doctors for treatment. However, as there is a critical period to treat facial palsy, there are not actually many Chinese doctors who are able to cure this disease in time. Therefore, to me, if I could make treating facial palsy my strength, it would be the luckiest thing for me.

    其實一開始我並不像其他台灣醫師那麼期待在跟診時候見識很多罕見的疑難雜病，雖然老師的診所—溫崇凱中醫診所以治難病著稱；但因平時我並沒有這類患者，即便學成也不可能有太多病人來找我，我反而想踏實一點，如果可以把一些常見難病的其中一項學得很好很精，專門看那種病，我覺得這樣是最扎實、最務本的學習。我最有興趣的鎖定在面神經麻痺(facial palsy，又稱貝爾氏麻痺Bell's palsy)，這種病症臨床上頗為多見，在西醫多數都是先吃一周的類固醇和B群，沒好就是好不了了，放愈久愈難處理，我確信針灸是治療面癱的首選，也知道雖然患者漸漸知曉要找中醫，但這病有黃金期，能夠快速將病人治好的中醫師，老實說也不是很多；所以我覺得若能將治療面癱變成我的強項，那就是最幸運的造化。

    細問一下診所的跟診助理，果真老師的診所幾乎每天都有面癱患者在治療，我心裡暗暗高興，這不是很好嗎？每天都能重複看老師的技法，每天都能觀察患者的變化，期許自己這幾天跟診一定要把面癱療法拿下。
