Many people may be a little scared when going to the doctor, but if there is a soft and cute orange cat by your side at this time, will your nervousness be relieved?

The shopkeeper of this traditional Chinese medicine shop is an experienced old Chinese medicine doctor. He has two cats. One of them is a famous orange cat named "Xiao Bai", who usually assists the old Chinese medicine doctor in taking the pulse. How can a cat help an old Chinese doctor if it doesn't know how to treat diseases?

Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to "looking, smelling, asking and feeling". To confirm the patient's condition, taking the pulse is an indispensable part. In order to make it easier to take the pulse, many traditional Chinese medicine doctors will deliberately place a "pulse diagnosis pad" under the patient's elbow. The cat Xiaobai is a natural "pulse diagnosis pad".

In the beginning, the old Chinese medicine doctor also had his own pulse diagnosis pad, but every time he took the patient's pulse, Xiaobai would jump on the table and accompany the patient to see the doctor. One time, Xiaobai fell asleep on the table. A young patient put his hand on Xiaobai's soft belly, but Xiaobai didn't wake up. Later, more and more patients would put their hands on this "pulse pad" with its own temperature. Over time, the position of the pulse diagnosis pad was replaced by the cat Xiaobai.

However, Xiaobai is not willing to do it every time. Sometimes it will appear impatient, but as long as the owner praises it a few words: "Xiaobai, be good, you will be fine soon, just wait a while." It will continue to lie on the table obediently, waiting for the owner to finish the treatment. What a cat with a super good temper. The owner also knows that Xiaobai is working hard. Every time after checking his pulse, the owner will reward Xiaobai with snacks such as "small dried fish".

Another cow cat in the Chinese medicine shop, Xiaohua is not as gentle as Xiaobai, it has more personality. You only do what you like to do, and you will never work voluntarily for your master just for a few small fish. It is impossible to work part-time, and it is impossible to work part-time in this life! Its favorite thing is to sleep in the scale where its owner weighs medicinal materials.

The two cats grew up together and have a very good relationship. They both eat the same food. Because Xiaobai was born with an orange cat attribute, she looks bigger than Xiaohua, but her personality is more domineering than Xiaohua, while Xiaobai is gentler and more popular with patients.

Since the old Chinese medicine doctor raised this cat, his business has been obviously better than before. Generally, young people do not see traditional Chinese medicine very much. Because of these two cats, they have attracted patients from many years ago to come to see the doctor. Xiao Tang is one of them. Every time he comes, he takes a lot of photos of the two cats and posts them on the Internet. He also sets up a special page for the two cats.

For this phenomenon, the old Chinese medicine doctor also expressed his understanding and support. It is a good way to let everyone understand the profoundness of Chinese medicine through these two cats. If only I could have a cat with me when Xiao Ai is seeing a doctor, I wouldn’t be afraid at all!
