Clinical commentary 臨床

桃奴 is the peach that fails to ripen and hangs withered on the branch through the winter — the slave peach, as the name has it — and the corpus gives it for pain held fixed in one place, on the reasoning that a fruit which would not let go treats what will not let go. 疰痛, the pain of the corpse infusion, is the chapter's name for a fixed boring pain attributed to possession. Heart pain is the one presentation in that chapter nobody should treat with wine: chest pain with sweating or breathlessness is a cardiac emergency. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
