This site's Damp-Heat-in-the-Liver slide is genital/vaginal-discharge-specific, confirmed by re-reading its content — not a fit for an eyelid/discharge presentation, consistent with the same finding on Keratitis and Ptosis earlier this project — no pattern link is given here; points still link fine individually.
