Chapter 84 Traditional Chinese Medicine? Witchcraft?
"Thank you, Dr. Du, thank you." I still couldn't say these words smoothly, and I still had a bit of a big tongue. I wanted to say "thank you" but I said "Thank you" instead. However, my enunciation was not clearer than before, and my tongue and teeth were fighting.
But it's so much better.
"Your tongue is still a little hard, that's okay. Your tongue has been numb for too long. Move your tongue more and you'll get used to it. Don't worry." Du Lin patted the young man on the shoulder, and the young man responded with a grateful smile.
Then, Du Lin pulled out the silver needle from the woman's back. After a few minutes, the patient dressed herself and walked out from behind the screen, which stunned everyone on and off the stage.
At this time, the students in the audience suddenly became restless. Du Lin followed their gaze and saw Fang Xiaoru walking out from the backstage holding a microphone, with a look of shame and embarrassment on his face.
"Dr. Du, I give up. I have seen the process of your treatment of these three patients just now. I really admire your medical skills, combining Chinese and Western medicine, and integrating them. From now on, I will never say that Chinese medicine is
Witchcraft and deception, and I am willing to accept you as my teacher." After saying that, he bowed deeply to the ground.
Du Lin quickly took a few steps and helped Fang Xiaoru up, "Dean Fang, this is impossible. You are a senior in the medical field. When I was studying in our school a few years ago, I secretly attended your class. From now on
Personally speaking, I should call you Teacher and you salute me, which will cost me my life (if you can really do it)."
"No, no, no, although I, Fang Xiaoru, dare not say that I am a gentleman, I am by no means a villain who keeps his word. Since I lost the bet, I will definitely be willing to admit defeat. By the way, there is one more thing." Fang Xiaoru
It seemed like I suddenly remembered something.
"The female patient with waist pain just now, I didn't mean to make things difficult for you and force her to come here regardless of the patient's feelings. In fact, I had already applied to the hospital to perform the intervertebral stent surgery for her free of charge.
The patient had discussed with me before that she wanted to try Chinese medicine, but I refused at the time. This time, because we had a bet, I took this opportunity to recommend her to you, in order to give the patient more information.
There are many treatment options, but I am not deliberately tormenting patients. I hope that Teacher Du will not doubt my medical ethics. If Teacher Du’s traditional Chinese medicine treatment is not effective, I will still be willing to perform surgery for the patient for free."
"I apologize for my previous doubts about the medical ethics of the other director. I am just a villain." What Du Lin said was true. He had indeed doubted this before.
The female resident doctor next to her also blushed a little. She really didn't know that Director Fang had already discussed it with the patient in advance, and thought that Director Fang was ignoring the patient's condition just for the sake of a bet.
What about love.
"By the way, there's one more thing." Fang Xiaoru waved to the bald doctor, called him over, and then slapped his head on the bald head, "You arrogant grandson, this patient with facial paralysis is your own decision."
Did you bring it? Don’t think I don’t know your little thoughts. You want to find a patient who also suffers from nerve blockage. Come and see how Teacher Du treats it, and then go back and treat it for me. Once cured, you can
Okay...ahem..." Dean Fang felt that the "promise" he had given them before was not very glorious, "In the future, focus your attention on academics and don't keep doing these useless things."
"Yes, teacher, I was wrong." The bald doctor lowered his head.
"Doctor Du," Fang Xiaoru said to Du Lin after finishing educating the students, "I still have to trouble you, my finger..."
Du Lin looked at his watch and said, "It's already past half past ten. Please stretch out your hand and take a look."
Fang Xiaoru took out his right hand that had been inserted in his white coat, and saw that the ring finger that had been "standing up" all day and night had recovered at some point!
Fang Xiaoru moved his fingers excitedly, feeling the long-lost sense of control over this finger.
"I'm convinced! Doctor Du, I'm really convinced. The acupuncture technique of traditional Chinese medicine is really amazing!"
"Dean Fang has received the award. In fact, Dean Fang is truly a role model worthy of learning from the students here. Lu Jiuyuan, a philosopher of the Southern Song Dynasty, once said, 'You will be happy if you have heard about it, you will not hide your mistakes if you know them, and you will not be afraid of correcting them', which means that others point out their own mistakes.
Don’t get angry when you make a mistake, don’t avoid it when you know you’ve made it, resolutely correct your mistakes and don’t be afraid of others laughing at you. If Dean Fang can do these three things, should we applaud him?”
Led by Du Lin, the students in the audience clapped, not only to pay tribute to Dean Fang's academic character, but also to applaud Du Lin's miraculous medical skills.
"Dean Fang, even if our bet is over, since you are here today, don't come in vain. Are you interested in completing this lecture with me?"
"Of course you can. I also want to learn more about Chinese medicine from Teacher Du."
The Xinglin podium was still crowded, but the podium was much quieter than before. A small round table was placed in the center of the podium, with a cup of tea on each table. Du Lin and Fang Xiaoru sat at the table, one on the left and the other on the right.
"Is this going to change the talk show?" a student in the audience asked the person next to him.
"I don't know, it looks pretty fresh anyway."
"Well, no, just watch, the young talents of traditional Chinese medicine and the academic leaders of Western medicine collide passionately!"
Du Lin first asked: "Dean Fang, I'm actually very curious. I know many Western doctors, but few are like you."
If you are so disgusted with Chinese medicine, can I ask why?"
"More than thirty years ago, I was eighteen years old and lived in a small village in Yunan Province. At that time, let alone college students, I was the only high school student in eight villages in ten miles. Originally, I planned to take the exam majoring in chemistry.
Researching chemical fertilizers, but at this time, my father suddenly fell ill. I asked the villagers to send him to the county hospital for treatment, but the barefoot doctor in the village said he could cure my father with acupuncture. My mother wanted to
I agreed to save money for my college education."
Speaking of this, Fang Xiaoru's eyes turned red, "It turned out that shortly after the barefoot doctor gave my father the injection, my father's condition worsened, and the villagers sent my father to the county hospital, but it was too late... The doctor at the county hospital said
, if he had been sent to the hospital immediately when he first got sick, my father would have been saved. It was because of the words of the barefoot doctor that his condition was delayed. From then on, I no longer believed in traditional Chinese medicine, and I also changed my choice when I took the college entrance examination.
, applied to a medical university, and then went abroad for further study. Gradually, I discovered that the active ingredients in each traditional Chinese medicine can be extracted and verified through biological or chemical methods, which proves that the traditional Chinese medicine in traditional Chinese medicine has a certain scientific basis.
, and many Western doctors are also using Chinese patent medicines to treat diseases, and even some foreign hospitals are using Chinese patent medicines, so I accept the rationality of Chinese medicines. But I have never believed in the theory of meridians and acupuncture points, and in the eyes of many foreigners,
It compares traditional Chinese medicine with occultism and even witchcraft."
The students in the audience, especially those from the School of Traditional Chinese Medicine, were talking a lot.
"how so?"
"I also plan to learn Chinese medicine well and then go abroad to earn money from foreigners! How can I make money even if they don't believe this?"
"Are there no local traditional medicines in foreign countries?"
"I heard that foreign indigenous traditional medicine is witchcraft."
"That's right. Their local traditional medicine is witchcraft, so they think our traditional Chinese medicine is also witchcraft."
"A bunch of barbarians, how can they understand our thousands-year-old Chinese civilization?"
"In my opinion," Du Lin took over, "the so-called Chinese medicine and Western medicine are not accurate. They should be called 'traditional medicine' and 'modern medicine.' Modern medicine has its advantages, but traditional medicine also has its own unique characteristics.
The foundation of modern medicine is "experimental science", which is based on scientific experimental methods and experimental results, while traditional medicine is "empirical science", which is based on word-of-mouth or pen-paper transmission by countless medical workers over thousands of years.
Based on medical practice experience.”
