Chapter 525: Zang Fangxing Joins the Job
"If there is a clone technique, I would also like to learn it!" Director Liu spread his hands and smiled.
"Haha, if there is a clone technique, who wouldn't want to learn it!" Dean Lu also laughed.
"So! I can't help it, I'm really at my wits' end!" Zhang Yan spread his hands and said with a smile.
"..." Director Liu was speechless.
Just say no?
I walked around just to say that I couldn't go.
"Dean Lu, Director Liu, I would like to suggest that our school could offer an anatomy course so that students can more intuitively understand the internal organs and the connections between various organs.
The structure of bones and muscles, use anatomy to learn the corresponding organs of meridians and acupuncture points, instead of just looking at the theory and memorizing it by rote."
"Yeah! Your suggestion makes sense. The internal organs are all explained by the lecturer, which is indeed a bit abstract."
“I have been studying the subject of TCM surgery recently! I hope to inherit the legacy of my ancestors and develop TCM surgery.
Unfortunately, just after it started, it was put on hold because of the teaching in the training class."
"Surgery of Traditional Chinese Medicine? I wonder what Dean Zhang's definition of Surgery of Traditional Chinese Medicine is?"
“TCM surgery can also be said to be general surgery!
Traditional Chinese medicine has methods to treat appendicitis, colitis, gastroenteritis, intestinal obstruction and other diseases mentioned in Western medicine.
At Xicheng Hospital, I conducted a project on the treatment of appendicitis using combined traditional Chinese and Western medicine, which is to use Western medicine detection methods combined with Chinese medicine syndrome differentiation of appendicitis to redefine appendicitis, and then use Chinese medicine methods to treat it.
For this reason, we have specially developed several Chinese patent medicines for the treatment of appendicitis. The results are quite good, the cure rate is very high, and the results are very fast, and there is no need for surgical treatment at all.
However, there is one situation in which our Chinese medicine practitioners are powerless, and that is perforation.
Whether it is a perforated appendicitis, a perforated colon, or a perforated stomach, traditional Chinese medicine is somewhat helpless.
Because, after perforation, the entire abdominal cavity is contaminated, and neither traditional Chinese medicine nor acupuncture can cure this level of abdominal infection."
"Dean Zhang is right!" Director Liu nodded in agreement.
"This is the shortcoming of our traditional Chinese medicine!" Dean Lu also nodded.
“There are also some organ damages caused by trauma, which are not covered by our traditional Chinese medicine and cannot be treated.
For some bacterial and viral infections, our traditional Chinese medicine method is to strengthen the body and eliminate evil. It must be admitted that our method is not as direct as Western medicine.
Penicillin is a great invention.
Anatomy is also a very practical subject.
If our Chinese medicine wants to develop, we must constantly absorb the advantages of Western medicine and integrate them into our system of Chinese medicine.
For example, why can’t we do general surgery? Why can’t we train TCM talents who can do general surgery?
We can use acupuncture for anesthesia, or we can use ephedra decoction for anesthesia.
Acupuncture anesthesia has an advantage that current surgical anesthesia cannot match, that is, there is no need to worry about underlying diseases affecting surgical anesthesia."
"We train our own Chinese medicine doctors who can perform surgeries?" Dean Lu and Director Liu both fell into deep thought.
I have to say that Zhang Yan’s suggestion is very tempting.
It’s also very vicious, and it’s completely digging into the roots of Western medicine!
Isn’t the development of Western medicine based on surgery?
This is the path of Western medicine, leaving Western medicine with nowhere to go.
"This matter is not that easy!" Dean Lu sighed.
"Of course I know it's not easy, but just because it's not easy doesn't mean it can't be done!
In this way, after my current batch of TCM apprentice training is completed, I plan to train the next batch according to the standards of TCM surgery!
However, the name does not justify the words!
What I need, President Lu, is that you can give the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine an upright identity.
Apply to the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Education. On their graduation certificates, the major they studied is Traditional Chinese Medicine Surgery." Zhang Yan said seriously.
“When it comes to cultivating TCM surgery, no one can compare with President Zhang. Among the people I know, he is the only one who is proficient in both Chinese and Western medicine.
Therefore, Director Zhang is the only one who should train TCM surgery." Director Liu said with emotion.
"Director Liu is right, I just want to get the Ministry of Education to recognize it, which is not difficult!
However, it may be difficult to get the Ministry of Health to approve this matter!" Dean Lu said with a wry smile.
Zhang Yan naturally knows that what Dean Lu said is true. The Ministry of Education has little to do with traditional Chinese and Western medicine. If you want to certify a subject, as long as you can produce strong data, they will not make things too difficult.
But the Ministry of Health is different. It is completely headed by a group of Western doctors.
Dean Lu can see that the development of TCM surgery will inevitably shake the foundation of Western medicine, and those Western doctors who are in charge of the Ministry of Health can naturally see this too.
They will definitely try their best to organize this.
“I know this is difficult, but it’s not impossible!
Dean Lu, you are a consultant in Haizili, and your level of contact is much higher than ours!
If the teachers and directors support us, who dares to stop us?" Zhang Yan said his suggestion with a smile.
"Dean Zhang, you think so highly of me. Although I serve as a consultant in Haizi, the teachers and directors are not the ones I want to have contact with." Dean Lu said with a wry smile.
"Are you looking for an opportunity? The third batch of Chinese medicine training courses will not start until one year at the earliest.
Because it is to train talents in TCM surgery, I plan to spend five years training them in the third training class, three years of study and two years of internship.
Only after you pass my assessment can you graduate!
Calculated this way, we have at least six years to do this.
Even if you can't do it, it doesn't matter, just try your best.
If that doesn't work, we can put up the brand name of Traditional Chinese Medicine Orthopedics.
Who stipulates that TCM orthopedics can’t perform surgeries?
We don’t perform internal organ surgeries, we do orthopedic surgeries, we do replantation of severed fingers, replantation of severed limbs, and sutures of muscles and tendons. What’s wrong with that?
As long as you open a hole and try to close it again, it won't be that easy.
Let’s also create a rural area to surround the city!
After we have trained several batches of talents in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Surgery, they will not be able to recognize us!" Zhang Yan said with a smile.
This is really a good era. Medical regulations are not as strict as later generations, and all rules are still being improved.
"Haha! What a rural area surrounding the city!
Our director, Zhang, is good at replanting severed limbs. He has successfully completed more than a dozen cases in the past two years!
However, later on, in order to train apprentices, the operation of replantation of severed limbs was not continued!
I think we’ll do it at the Red Star Hospital first. If anyone dares to say no, I’ll pluck off his head and throw it into the pit!” Old Liangtou said with a laugh.
Old Liangtou's domineering attitude made Dean Lu and Director Liu look sideways.
I envy Zhang Yan for having a good leader.
Chapter completed!
