The two elders came to Ding Ning's ward on time every morning with notebooks to report. They sat like primary school students and recorded every word of Ding Ning religiously. Then they expressed their opinions and started a discussion to seek common ground while reserving differences.

The three of them hit it off and became close friends. However, when faced with academic issues, they would also quarrel with each other because of their different views. The most intense one was when Mr. Zhang and Mr. Hu rolled up their sleeves, blew their beards and glared, and almost came to blows.

After Ding Ning's sincere persuasion, the hostility turned into friendship, and soon he was talking and laughing with joy.

Ding Ning shook his head and smiled bitterly. These two old men were like old naughty boys, with innocent hearts, no distracting thoughts, noble medical ethics, and their own beliefs and persistence.

These are two old men who truly have the benevolence of doctors and are selfless, which is why Ding Ning is willing to teach them everything they have.

The decline of traditional Chinese medicine is inseparable from the cherishment of practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine. Each school has a serious concept of master-to-teacher inheritance, and it firmly holds its own medical skills in its hands and will never easily pass them on to others.

The ancient concept of teacher-to-teacher has been deeply ingrained. Coupled with environmental pollution and the disappearance of rare Chinese herbal medicines, some good prescriptions cannot be replaced by Chinese herbal medicines.

As a result, some half-experienced Chinese medicine practitioners have begun to deceive and deceive, making Chinese medicine appear to be magical and mythical in order to defraud money.

What's more, Chinese medicine focuses on nourishing the body. When treating diseases, it is not as effective as Western medicine. You also have to pay attention to your diet, work and rest and other living habits, and you also have to give up smoking, alcohol and other bad habits.

This is obviously out of date for the high efficiency and fast-paced work life of modern society.

Over time, the real traditional Chinese medicine has been labeled as pseudoscience, and patients have lost their trust. When they are sick, they would rather see Western medicine than believe in traditional Chinese medicine. This has led to the decline of traditional Chinese medicine.

"The medical treasures left by our ancestors have not only been carried forward and used to save the world in our hands, but have also been labeled as pseudoscience. This is the sin of our descendants."

"I feel very sad when I talk about this. Mr. Hu and I once organized an exchange meeting on traditional Chinese medicine to exchange knowledge, learn from each other, discuss with each other, promote common progress of everyone, and change the current situation of traditional Chinese medicine. But in the eyes of many people,

There is only profit, and the good academic exchange meeting has turned into a business reception for gaining power, making connections, and signing medicinal materials sales contracts. What is happening to people nowadays? If this continues, the things left by our ancestors will slowly

has disappeared in the long river of history. Even Goryeo Bangzi, who has no cultural heritage, knows how to vigorously develop Han medicine. Fusang's research on Chinese patent medicine ranks among the top in the world. However, our country of China is clearly the birthplace of Han medicine, but now even Goryeo and

Even Fuso can’t compare to it. If this continues, will we still have our own medical culture in China?”

"I have been studying Chinese medicine since I was a child. At that time, when my master accepted a disciple, he first had to test his character and medical ethics before he could qualify for entry. But what about today's people? Everyone is mercenary and puts profit first. If this continues, we will be dead.

How can we face our ancestors?"

When talking about the current situation of traditional Chinese medicine, the two old people beat their chests and beat their feet with great sadness, feeling depressed and unable to calm down.

These words shook Ding Ning very much. To be honest, he liked to treat diseases and save people, and liked to watch every dying patient gain a new life in his hands.

He doesn't care about the patient's gratitude. What he enjoys is the fun of fighting death, which fills his heart with a sense of accomplishment. The decline of traditional Chinese medicine has nothing to do with him.

However, the selfless feelings and noble moral character of the two old men deeply moved him and made him realize the narrow-mindedness of his own thinking.

Yes, if the entire traditional Chinese medicine industry has no breeding ground in our own land and is banned and blocked, how can it treat diseases and save people no matter how powerful it is?

Even if the entire Chinese medicine industry has become a street rat that everyone shouts about, who will still believe him, an authentic Chinese medicine doctor? Who will let him see a doctor?

On the other hand, Western medicine has entered China and gained the trust of the Chinese people. Isn’t this an alternative cultural invasion?

Ding Ning thought about it carefully and felt a strong sense of mission in his heart. He firmly believed that the stone man activating his powers was a sign in itself, a sign of a great mission coming from heaven.

Could it be that the superpower was created just to make me the savior of Chinese medicine? Ding Ning thought narcissistically.

"By the way, senior brother, do you have a certificate to practice Chinese medicine?" Mr. Hu suddenly asked.

Ding Ning was also helpless about the title of senior brother. The two old men in their seventies and eighties insisted on saying that there is no priority in learning, and those who have mastered it are their teachers.

After he refused the request to take on a disciple, the two old men insisted on calling him senior brother, which made him feel uncomfortable and made him feel old.

He shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Although I am a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, in fact I have been practicing medicine illegally, and I studied clinical Western medicine in medical school. Where did I get the Chinese medicine practicing qualification certificate?"

Mr. Hu and Mr. Zhang didn't seem surprised. Mr. Zhang nodded and said: "The problem now is here. Whether it is Western medicine or traditional Chinese medicine, without a professional qualification certificate, it is always an unknown teacher. It is easy to say that it can be cured. If there is any,

What a mistake, senior brother, you will have to bear the legal consequences."

Ding Ning scratched his head and said helplessly: "When I applied for the clinical major of Western medicine, I just wanted to study the difference between Western medicine and Chinese medicine. Although most Western medicine treats the symptoms rather than the root cause, in fact it is not without merit, at least in terms of

In terms of surgery, it does have an advantage over traditional Chinese medicine."

"Advantages?" Mr. Hu frowned: "It's more than an advantage. Traditional Chinese medicine goes back to its origins. It mainly focuses on nursing care and cannot perform surgical operations at all."

"This is wrong. If Chinese medicine cannot perform surgery, Hua Tuo would have dared to say that he would perform a craniotomy on Cao Cao to remove the tumor."

"You mean Chinese medicine can also perform surgery?" Mr. Zhang exclaimed, with an unconcealable surprise on his brows.

"Yeah, why didn't I expect that Hua Tuo invented Ma Fei San? Since he dared to perform a craniotomy on Cao Cao, he must have mastered the surgical technology. It's just that the concept of inoperability in Chinese medicine has been deeply rooted in the people, so it was ignored by people.

, if Chinese medicine can perform surgery, then this surgical method is definitely more advanced than Western medicine."

Mr. Hu rubbed his hands back and forth excitedly, his eyes shining, "Brother, please tell us carefully!"

Ding Ning suppressed a profound smile: "Traditional Chinese medicine can indeed perform surgery, but it has very high requirements for practitioners. I guess I am the only one in the world who can perform this kind of surgery."

"How do you say this?" The second elder was a little disappointed, but still asked tirelessly.

Ding Ning smiled and waved his hand, "Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. I'll let the two old men experience it on the spot."

The pulse-cutting hand suddenly came out and touched the second elder's body.

"Oh my god, I lost consciousness. It was like I was under anesthesia. This is amazing."

"Me too. My entire upper body has lost consciousness. This is incredible. Is this acupuncture?"

Mr. Hu and Mr. Zhang shouted excitedly.

Ding Ning stretched out his hand to untie their shackles and shook his head: "This is a pulse-cutting hand. It is different from acupuncture. It uses the true energy to cut off the central nervous system of the human body's meridians, thus replacing anesthesia." "What a magical method. That's it."

Can this pulse-cutting hand be used by ordinary people? Are there any side effects or sequelae if used during surgery?"

The two elders are both very rigorous people. Although they have seen the magic of the pulse cutting hand, they did not want to learn it at the first time, but considered whether the pulse cutting hand would bring any hidden dangers to the patient.

Ding Ning shook his head: "There is no time limit for cutting off the pulse. The effect of cutting off the central nervous system can only last for one hour, that is, two hours. During this time, it will not cause any harm to the patient.

, it can also keep the patient's consciousness always awake. Compared with anesthetics, it does not even have the side effect of stimulating the brain nerves. It will not cause sequelae such as slow brain response and damage to the nerves in the legs. It can be said that this is better than the effect of anesthetics.

Countless times, but once two hours have passed, the patient's blood will coagulate, his qi and blood will not flow smoothly, and his brain and heart will not be able to supply blood and he will die."

"That's also very good. It can be used in simple operations. As long as the operation does not exceed two hours, this is the best anesthesia method."

Mr. Zhang said excitedly, and he and Mr. Hu looked at Ding Ning eagerly.

Ding Ning smiled bitterly: "It's not that I don't want to teach, I also want to teach you so that Chinese medicine can flourish. But this pulse-cutting hand is different from the acupoints in novels. It doesn't just click on any acupuncture point. It needs to be done twelve times a day.

This hour is determined by the position of the meridians that the human body's airflow passes through, and there are strict standards for the force used to cut off the pulse. There cannot be any mistakes. If the force is too light, the time to cut off the central nervous system will not be enough. If the force is too strong, it is very likely that

It will cause irreversible damage to the patient's meridians and cause a series of sequelae, and one bad step can be life-threatening."

Seeing Ding Ning's serious look, the two elders stopped entangled. They knew that what Ding Ning said must be the truth. This made them regretful and excited at the same time. Mr. Hu stroked his beard and said proudly:

"But in any case, this is also a great progress for our traditional Chinese medicine. Even if you are the only one who masters this method, it will be good news for patients."

Ding Ning thought for a moment and said solemnly: "Actually, there is no way at all, but this method has very high requirements for doctors, and there must be no deviation."

"What method?" Mr. Zhang and Mr. Hu's eyes lit up and they couldn't wait to ask.

"The popularity of Western medicine is inseparable from the large-scale manufacturing of Western medicine. Even if the same cold medicine can only cure 70% of cold patients, most patients will recognize the efficacy of this cold medicine.

But our Chinese medicine is more meticulous and pays attention to prescribing the right medicine. Even if it is a cold, the symptoms of two patients cannot be exactly the same, so the medicines will be somewhat different. This is one of the reasons why our Chinese medicine cannot occupy the mainstream of the medical field."

Ding Ning thought thoughtfully and said: "Pulse-cutting hands instead of anesthetics are like traditional Chinese medicine. The cut-off point is different at each hour, so the pulse-cutting anesthesia method cannot be widely used. According to my observation, everyone's pulse-cutting point is at a fixed

In fact, they are all the same within the hour, can we do this, I mark the pulse interception point within a certain fixed time period, and the surgeon sticks to this time period and uses the pulse interception anesthesia method in the operation."

"If this is the case, the surgeon needs to find the cut-off point very accurately. This is indeed very demanding for doctors. Only traditional Chinese medicine practitioners who are familiar with the human body's meridians diagram can find this point accurately."

Mr. Hu said thoughtfully, considering the feasibility of this method.
