Chapter 2173 Tit for tat
"Nonsense!"
The highest ranking person here is Zeng Si. Except for Liu Muqiao, he is the deputy department. Today he is just an expert and does not perform the duties of the deputy department.
Zeng Si cursed, "Stop joking, Mr. Hong is not a guinea pig, you are not allowed to fool around with him!"
All the discussions in favor of traditional Chinese medicine suddenly became silent.
This is an orthodox Western hospital, especially since Zeng Si is an international student at Hopkins Hospital. There is definitely no market for discussing Chinese medicine here.
Besides, we all graduated from medical schools of Western medicine and are not very familiar with Chinese medicine and have only a limited understanding of it.
But having said that, in China, everyone actually recognizes the integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine. Even big-name professors in Western hospitals often use traditional Chinese medicine.
Wu Anhua himself prescribes traditional Chinese medicine, and his teacher, Professor Sun Ming, is very good at prescribing traditional Chinese medicine and has very good results in treating chronic bronchitis, kidney disease, etc.
However, if you ask them to say that traditional Chinese medicine is better than Western medicine, they will not admit it. In emergency treatment, heart failure, and respiratory failure, they still use cedilan, sodium nitroprusside, furosemide, nicoxamide, and roxamide.
Belin, dexamethasone and other drugs are better.
In the case of infectious diseases, traditional Chinese medicine includes coptis, honeysuckle, forsythia, daqingye, etc., which also have antibacterial effects, but the effects are far inferior to antibiotics.
As for diseases such as high blood pressure and diabetes, Western medicine’s special medicines have obvious effects. Needless to say, for diabetes, there are metformin, acarbose, gliclazide, and especially insulin, which have immediate effects. There are also many cases of high blood pressure.
Special drugs, sodium nitroprusside and nitroglycerin, can lower blood pressure no matter how high it is. Traditional Chinese medicine cannot. This is also a fact.
However, there are many clinical diseases or symptoms for which Western medicine is ineffective, but Chinese medicine has good results.
Therefore, these two kinds of medicine are not the same system, but they have complementary functions.
The rational conclusion is to combine traditional Chinese and Western medicine.
We cannot deny Chinese medicine, despise Chinese medicine, and it is wrong to turn it into pure Western medicine. However, we should not promote Chinese medicine too high. It is also wrong to say that Chinese medicine is the future of medicine.
Now comes the problem. Zeng Si clearly stopped everyone from discussing Chinese medicine, and concluded that using Chinese medicine and acupuncture is nonsense, and he is treating Mr. Hong as a guinea pig.
Why do other experts dare to speak?
It’s not that they are afraid of becoming officials. In the eyes of these senior professors, department-level cadres are not considered senior officials.
Among various industries, the profession of doctors is very special. They can come into contact with very high-level people, even the kind of people you would never normally come into contact with, and accidentally meet them one day.
As for the professors present, they don’t need any etiquette when meeting department-level cadres. They don’t even need to nod to say hello and just go straight to see a doctor.
It's not that they are afraid, but it involves a sensitive topic and it is difficult to argue. The key is that their foundation in traditional Chinese medicine is poor and they can't explain why. So they simply don't speak for the traditional Chinese medicine practitioners.
"Bullshit. Most countries in the world do not regard traditional Chinese medicine as medicine at all. Now we are treating respectable people like Mr. Hong. What are you talking about about traditional Chinese medicine!"
The more Zeng Si spoke, the more courageous he became. Although he also knew that the country promoted traditional Chinese medicine and wanted to promote traditional Chinese medicine, he did not agree with it in his heart.
He estimated that no one would support him today.
However, he soon realized that he was wrong - it was not that he admitted that his point of view was wrong, but that he admitted that some people still stood up to criticize.
Liu Muqiao began to speak.
"We can't be like this, especially comrades from the ministry, who study Chinese medicine, believe in Chinese medicine, and use Chinese medicine. This is our country's basic attitude towards Chinese medicine. How can we talk nonsense about Chinese medicine?"
Zeng Si choked.
Someone actually criticized me! How dare you? You don’t consider how much you weigh!
However, he soon realized that people really didn't need to take him seriously. Liu Maqiao was the deputy and had a higher rank than him.
Liu Muqiao continued: "TCM has both its weaknesses and its advantages. Not to go too far, Mr. Hong, if you continue to use Western medicine purely, his lifespan will be about 28 hours, not more than 30 hours. But if you use traditional Chinese medicine,
, I believe he can live for more than 3 years."
The voice was not loud, but as soon as this sentence came out, everyone's heart trembled.
What a loud tone!
Do you dare to say that Mr. Hong can live for 3 years?
"Nonsense!" Zeng Si couldn't believe it.
"It's really not nonsense. I can do it." Liu Maqiao said loudly.
"Can you do it?" Zeng Si burst out laughing. He didn't believe it at all. "This is not how you brag. You know that you will not be allowed to use Chinese medicine, so you dare to be presumptuous."
Liu Miqiao frowned and said: "Since it is a consultation, you should listen to the opinions of experts. How to treat the patient is decided by the experts. I don't think you will use administrative orders to give medical advice? Whether to use traditional Chinese medicine or not, I
I think it’s better to rely on the experts’ conclusions.”
Zeng Si suddenly didn’t know how to refute Liu Miqiao.
It’s really hard to refute.
Since we are organizing an expert consultation, and it is a high-standard consultation, we should fully respect the opinions of experts as to what treatment method to use. Zeng Si is not even the host this time. He is just sent by the ministry to coordinate, so he simply
Treatment should not be interfered with.
He hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but said: "My personal attitude, please consider it by the host. I am opposed to the use of traditional Chinese medicine to treat Honglao's disease."
Liu Miqiao was a little angry and said: "You don't seem to be a member of the expert group today. Logically speaking, you shouldn't speak. Are you responsible for administrative intervention in clinical practice and the patient's life?"
"..." Zeng Si was speechless. He stared at Liu Miqiao with his eyes wide open, his heart filled with fear as his horse roared past, and he secretly made up his mind.
You wait!
The person who received the telepathy was Wu Anhua. He had long been fed up with Zeng Si. He understood and continued: "Yes, we will have a consultation today. Let's express our opinions. We do not exclude any solution. Traditional Chinese medicine, as an important medical component in our country, of course we
It cannot be excluded."
He didn't say too much, just a few words that firmly controlled the topic.
As the deputy host, he is actually a professional abbot. The host must listen to his words. One represents administration and the other represents professionalism, and professionalism must be respected.
He doesn't talk much. If he talks too much, it's not good. If he talks too much, it will appear that he is targeting Zeng Si.
He deliberately brushed it off in an understatement, so Zeng Si was no longer so embarrassed.
Deputy Director Cao of the National Health Commission had no choice but to say: "Everyone expresses his or her own opinion, let's continue."
Next, the professor from Tongji who just spoke saw that Liu Miqiao had defended himself, so he had to step forward and say a few words.
"When Western medicine has been exhausted, we will naturally think of traditional Chinese medicine. This is the long-term experience of our clinical workers. I often encounter this situation myself. Don't laugh at me. Many times, I have used traditional Chinese medicine to solve the problem."<
