Article 18 of the Bubishi: Four Incurable Diseases

•People not recovering from serious sword or spear wounds, even after medical treatment is rendered, usually die.  Characteristics of the illness causing this are difficulties breathing and the inability to keep the mount shut.
•If a wound becomes complicated by infection and the patient begins getting cold, with signs of stiffening, fever, and shaking violently, departure from this world is certain.
•When the eyeballs are locked in place without moving, a person’s spirit has withdrawn, which means he is no longer in charge of his mental faculties.
•Any deep wound that causes an organ to dysfunction, impairing the circulatory system, usually results in death.
•In addition to quanfa, a disciple must be patient and endeavor to acquire the medical knowledge to treat and cure the injured and sick.  True quanfa disciples never seek to harm anyone, but are virtuous, kind, and responsible human beings.
•This knowledge has been compiled and  handed down from the Shaolin recluses from long ago.  Never deviating, it remains constant.
