Chapter 316 Traditional Chinese Medicine Oncology, Expert Level!
Balsa didn't believe Chen Nan's words, just like modern oncologists dismissive of TCM tumors.
In the eyes of modern oncologists, TCM oncology is really not worth mentioning.
This is no exaggeration at all.
The cancer track is international.
It is also the most modernized “disease” at present.
Now, even some family members who are not knowledgeable in the field know about various radiotherapy and chemotherapy drugs, and they have also heard about targeted drugs.
In this track, under various informatization and internationalization trends, everyone knows one thing. If you want to be cured, you need to use the best radiotherapy and chemotherapy drugs, and use the latest targeted drugs... What molecules
Level, genetic field...
These things can already be clearly explained by the old man who sweeps the streets in the Capital Hospital.
Have you ever seen a patient who can tell you what kind of traditional Chinese medicine to use?
This is the difference!
When patients and their families accept a new approach and have more trust in guidelines with clear descriptions of efficacy, this gap will only grow.
…
It's not that Balsa looks down on Chen Nan, but he really has a disdain for the development of traditional Chinese oncology.
Even today's surgery was performed with acupuncture and anesthesia with the help of Chen Nan.
But if we talk about the details of tumor research, the disease development of tumors, and the prevention and intervention of metastasis, etc...
He felt that Chen Nan's theories on these issues even made him laughable!
"Oh? Director Chen, you mean...the pancreas belongs to the spleen? Oh...and the spleen belongs to earth?"
"And the liver belongs to wood... okay!"
"Then, Mu defeated Tu, and now Tu has insulted Mu..."
"So there will be liver metastasis?"
"incredible!"
"Oh my god, I'm sorry... Chinese medicine is really profound, but I still can't understand it."
Balsa smiled and shrugged at Chen Nan. Regarding Chen Nan's statement, he even thought it should be a joke.
He thought that if he told this story to his colleagues after he went back, it would definitely make him the most humorous man in the operating room.
Balsa couldn't help but smile!
but……
But he didn't show arrogance or ridicule.
Even though Balsa didn't despise Chen Nan's traditional Chinese medicine oncology at all in his heart, and even thought it was ridiculous and nonsense, but...
At least the acupuncture and anesthesia made him feel a little shocked.
Therefore, what Balsa Delen was thinking in his heart was...how to turn this technology into their patent?
therefore……
During the operation, Balsha kept asking Chen Nan insinuatingly:
"Director Chen, does this acupuncture anesthesia have fixed acupuncture points?"
"Can I take a photo of the intensity of electricity used in this acupuncture?"
"Director Chen, is this anesthesia due to the effect of the electrodes on the nerves?"
…
Balsa can be the chief surgical expert at New York-Presbyterian Hospital. He does have his own confidence, but...that doesn't mean he is stupid.
For this operation, he clearly realized that if Chen Nan's acupuncture anesthesia technology was mature... and brought to the world, it would be a great anesthesia revolution!
Balsa suddenly felt that this was a shameful waste!
It even feels a bit incredible.
The nervous system is a system that is difficult for any organization in the world to have a clear understanding of.
Drugs for nerve repair have not been thoroughly studied yet.
How could Chinese medicine possess such technology that was ahead of its time?
This is obviously somewhat surprising.
During the operation, Balsha did not hesitate or tremble because the patient was his father.
His approach was as determined as ever.
Therefore, Balsa has a clear understanding of the effect of Chen Nan's anesthesia, and he also knows more clearly that he must master such a technique.
If...if he does it, it will change the landscape of world medicine!
He, Balsa, will also reap the greatest success.
After the surgery!
People around him applauded continuously and sent their gifts to Professor Balsha who had come from afar.
Balsa has the characteristics of a successful person. He smiled and bowed to everyone, looking very humble.
Chen Nan took the needle, but Barsha couldn't help but call Chen Nan: "Director Chen, you helped me a lot today. My father is very grateful to you."
"How about... let's have lunch together?"
Chen Nan smiled and refused: "No, I still have a job."
Balsa felt a little sorry when he heard this.
But...he also knows that there are some things that are not urgent.
Balsa was really excited about acupuncture and anesthesia.
Once successful, this is an anesthesia storm that will shock the surgical field.
He believed that Chen Nan would definitely not be able to believe that the technology he mastered was enough to subvert the existence of an industry.
This time!
He witnessed it with his own eyes and decided to bring this technology to the United States.
…
that day.
Balsha did not return to the country, and his father was transferred to the Mayo Clinic in the capital that day.
The Mayo Clinic, as we all know, is one of the most awesome “clinics” in the world.
Mayo's influence is unique and special in the world's medical circle.
Balsa has such connections.
In recent years, the world has gained some clear understanding of China. Everyone knows that China has the largest medical market in the world.
Foreign capital and research institutes have begun to penetrate into the country.
After Balshad-Dren returned home in the evening, he and his brother sat down to eat.
The relationship between the two brothers has always been very normal. Gurba has stayed in China for ten years, and his wife and children are all Chinese.
Balsa, on the other hand, has a lot of prejudice against China.
At the dinner table, Balsa shared the joke he got today with his brother, whom he had not seen for many years.
"Oh, Gurba, I have to share an interesting story with you today!"
"Haha, it's unbelievable. It's hard for me to believe that the Chinese oncologists' judgment on tumor metastasis is because of the damn wood and soil?"
As he spoke, he added fuel to the fire and explained it to his brother in an emotional tone.
I was afraid that the other party wouldn't understand, so I spoke very seriously.
After Gurba heard this, he frowned slightly and looked at his brother:
"You mean, should we do a liver test on my father?"
"Or...protect the liver as soon as possible?"
"This seems... a good plan."
Hearing Gurba's serious words, Balsha suddenly burst into laughter, even a little exaggerated.
"oh!"
"incredible!"
"God, Gurba, you are more humorous than I thought!"
"Is this what you learned in China? Hahaha... you were not a humorous person before."
Balsa looked at his brother with a smile.
But Gurba put down the tableware in his hand and said seriously: "This is not a joke."
"This is a professional term, called 'earth and wood', and it is a very dangerous thing."
"Traditional Chinese medicine believes that wood should prevail over earth, but when wood harms earth, worse situations will occur."
Seeing his brother being so serious, Balsa was dumbfounded.
"Oh my God!"
"God……"
"Gurba, what did you learn in China?"
"Look, isn't that supposed to be molecular biology in your damn brain?"
"You are a scientist, not...a funny clown, okay? Such a theory makes no sense."
"incredible!"
Balsa shrugged and stared at his brother.
But Gurba also said seriously: "This is traditional Chinese medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, which has rich clinical basis. Their theories are all scientific summed up from a large amount of clinical experience."
"This is not superstition, let alone a joke."
"Balsha, I know you look down on Chinese medicine, let alone Chinese oncology medicine."
"But don't underestimate this nation's medicine and culture."
“When I came here, I was shocked many times!”
Balsa was also a little angry at this time: "Is this what you have been pursuing these years?"
"If you had stayed at Harvard, you might have won many awards by now!"
"You came here, what did you do? Do nothing! Start studying these unnecessary things."
"You are crazy! Gurba!"
"You have no idea what science is anymore!"
"You've gone completely crazy."
"Your previous dream was the Nobel Prize! Not..."
"Sorry, I don't want to argue with you."
Balsa obviously did not want to be separated from his long-awaited reunion with his brother by this farce.
But Gurba shook his head and stood up to leave: "No, Balsha, I don't want to talk to you anymore."
"You have foolish pride and prejudice in your heart!"
"You think America is number one in the world."
"What you call humility is nothing more than the demeanor adults maintain when facing children, but you simply cannot accept that these children in front of you are actually more talented and powerful than you!"
"You lack respect for culture!"
"goodbye!"
Gurba got up and left directly.
Balsa was left sitting on a chair in the western restaurant with a dull expression.
He couldn't imagine why his brother would be angry with him because of this joke?
However, Balsha didn't care about this. He still didn't feel that he had done anything wrong. On the contrary, he felt that Gurba had been completely brainwashed!
Naturally, there is no chance of friendly nightlife with Gurba.
Balsa made an appointment with Mayo and several old friends from outside research institutes for a night of drinks, most of whom were experts from the American Society of Medical Oncology.
He still had to ask some friends to take care of his father.
The bar is very lively. The capital is now an international city with a lot of crooked nuts.
The Balshas are not that eye-catching either.
The few people had a great time. Balsha did not get humorous comments from Gurba, but gained wonderful experiences from several old friends.
Clift Dane is the head of the oncology department at the Mayo Clinic. He smiled and said: "Don't worry, Balsa, I will take good care of your uncle."
"On the contrary, I hope that the development of oncology medicine in China can be faster!"
"I want to go back to China now."
"Hey...damn metal, wood, water, fire and earth, can't you be more powerful?"
"Hahaha……"
Several people couldn't help but laugh.
actually……
The concept of traditional Chinese medicine is still very funny in the eyes of many people. For many Western medical researchers, they even think it is an irresponsible attitude.
How could medicine be so sloppy?
No one can understand it at all.
I even think that relying on the concept that metal, wood, water, fire, and earth can cure diseases is an irresponsible attitude. (This is true)
…
Balsa did not leave China, but went to an organization called Xinglinyuan.
He learned from his friends that in Xinglin Garden, as long as you have capital and points, you can buy any technology and items you want.
He now has an unparalleled desire and impulse for the acupuncture and anesthesia in Chen Nan's hands.
He must find a way to get this thing!
During this time.
Chen Nan was not idle either. He cooperated with Wu Yongbing's anesthesia research institute to quickly produce a detailed development plan for acupuncture and anesthesia.
This time, what they want to do is to conduct a tentative research on "combined acupuncture and drug anesthesia" for most surgeries.
Within the Institute of Anesthesiology, many key personnel have been selected to carry out this research work.
With the advancement of this plan, everyone quickly became busy.
However, as one of the general persons in charge, Chen Nan may be a little busy at first, but gradually relaxes when everything is on track.
This time!
The relationship between Chen Nan and Mr. Shao Yanfang has become closer and closer.
Mr. Shao Yanfang is a pure Chinese medicine practitioner, and he always knows everything Chen Nan asks for advice.
Chen Nan was even given permission to access the vast amount of medical records accumulated by the hospital.
However, Chen Nan's mood did not improve much because of this.
Even...he was even more stressed.
Every day, he encounters various patients in the clinic.
His outpatient volume also began to gradually increase.
There are more patients, but Chen Nan is not happy!
Because what Mr. Shao told Chen Nan back then seems to be coming true.
Many patients, when you treat them day by day and get along with them as a special kind of "friend", you need to go through the painful process of sending them away...
"Doctor Chen, good morning...hehehe, I drank two more bowls of porridge this morning, and my appetite is better!"
"Tomorrow, I will go to the Forbidden City. I have worked there for sixty years, hahaha... I have been ill for the past two years and I have not been allowed to go. I feel that I have become stronger these days. I have to go and see..."
"Haha, I'm afraid if I don't go, I'll never see it again..."
…
"Dr. Chen, I went, haha... ok, the repair was really good. I haven't been there in the past two years, tsk tsk... I did a great job. I brought you a small gift. This is our 60-year-old Forbidden City.
I will give you a commemorative coin as a human being..."
…
"Director Chen, my father...he left...he didn't finish these medicines...before he left, he asked me to return these medicines to you, saying that it would be best to give them to those patients who need them!"
…
"Oh, Xiao Chen, let me tell you, today, it's amazing, I don't feel any pain! Hahaha... I decided it was fine!"
"It has to be our Chinese medicine doctors. During this period of time, my food tastes great and my body feels great!"
"Oh...I've been so greedy these past few days. I've been craving for something from that old tavern outside Prince Gong's Mansion...two ounces of Shaomai, two ounces of wine, a stack of peanuts, and half a pound of pig head meat. It's delicious.
!”
"When I get better, I must go and have a meal."
"Exactly, Western medicine said that my life expectancy is three months, but I've already lived for half a year!"
"If you don't believe that thing, I'm sure I can survive this year... By the way, doctor, I forgot the urine test you asked me to test... Haha, I'm sorry, it's mainly because of that thing, it's too much trouble..."
…
"Doctor, my grandfather left. Before he left... he was shivering in pain. We wanted to send him to the hospital, but he didn't go and asked me to record his symptoms before he died. He said... At this level, he
It’s designated that you can’t pass it. Dr. Chen, you are great, but you must have never seen how this person feels when he is about to die. This is what doctors need to experience... Director Chen, this is how my grandfather felt..."
…
…
It has been three months since Chen Nan came to the capital and two months since she went to the clinic.
In the past two months, his mental journey has been more uncomfortable than it has been in so many years.
Maybe, this is medicine?
However, even with this state of mind, Chen Nan grew up very quickly.
In the past two months, Chen Nan read all the clinical medical records that Shao Yanfang had accumulated for more than 20 years!
In the past two months, Chen Nan has been learning and accumulating every day.
In the past two months, Chen Nan has been receiving a lot of praise every day.
Obviously I can't do it very well, I obviously can't retain so many patients, but... I still received sincere praise from the other party.
This day!
Accompanied by a crisp sound.
Chen Nan took a deep breath.
[Ding! Congratulations, you have received praise from a large number of cancer patients, and by reading a large number of medical records, your TCM oncology medicine has been upgraded to: expert level!]
Chen Nan looked at the system prompts and was stunned.
Has your TCM oncology improved?
Expert level?
As a large amount of information entered his mind, Chen Nan's long-established concept of traditional Chinese medicine oncology began to fall apart at this moment.
Chen Nan's TCM cancer thinking also began to take shape.
All the time!
Chen Nan himself was avoiding conquering the tumor because, as he thought, he felt that compared with radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy, Chinese medicine would definitely be less effective in killing cancer cells.
but!
At this moment, Chen Nan suddenly realized that he was wrong.
Because I was too focused on where the cancer was and how to kill it, I neglected what TCM is best at treating diseases, which is syndrome differentiation and treatment based on a holistic concept!
Actually...how do tumor cells come from?
Why do I have to think about tumors?
Why not think about how to improve symptoms?
Perhaps TCM should not start from this perspective when treating cancer.
First, Chinese medicine doesn’t care much about where the cancer is. Because Chinese medicine cares that there should be no cancer in the whole body, so when we treat, we adopt the treatment method of balancing the whole body!
At the same time, the patient's spleen and stomach are strengthened. The spleen and stomach are the foundation of the day after tomorrow, so that the patient can maintain good physical strength to cope with this serious disease. Therefore, it is a systemic therapy that complements each other and strengthens the body. Therefore, the exact location of the cancer is determined, and
Not very important.
…
At this moment, Chen Nan seemed to have experienced an unprecedented baptism in his mind.
He felt that his understanding of tumors might need to change!
When treating tumors, the last thing you should think about is the tumor.
You can completely treat him as an evil spirit.
And evil can be transformed from the human body's righteous energy...
This way!
Chen Nan instantly formed a clear treatment plan in his mind.
Compared with killing the enemy, we may not be able to match your methods of radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
However, compared to the overall treatment, it may be difficult for you to compare with our care of the body.
Traditional Chinese medicine is definitely not omnipotent.
But... in the field of treating tumors, we also have strengths that you cannot match.
This is something that cannot be replaced by traditional Chinese medicine oncology.
…
This day.
Since Delenn's health improved, he left the Mayo Clinic and returned to Gulba's home.
During this period of time, I was in pretty good health. I followed the elders in the park every day and improved my martial arts skills.
Playing shuttlecock, playing Tai Chi, playing flower stick... Occasionally when I watch a chess game, I will hold my forehead and sigh because my opponent made a bad move.
However, this morning, Old Delen suddenly felt severe abdominal pain. After being sent to the nearest Mayo Clinic, Clift-Dane quickly arranged a check-up for Old Delen.
When the results came out, Dane was completely dumbfounded!
The pancreatic cancer that Delen Sr. had originally undergone surgery turned out to have metastasized!
And, most importantly...it was transferred to the liver!
This sudden news immediately shocked Dane.
Because how could he not think of why it was metastasized to the liver?
Dane quickly contacted the two brothers Gurba and Balsha.
Balsa has recently reached contact with a big boss from Xinglinyuan!
They have already figured out a way!
That is to let the experts find Chen Nan to choose the restaurant.
See if he dares to agree.
The bet is acupuncture and anesthesia.
Balsa was originally planning this matter, but suddenly got Dane's phone call.
After hurriedly arriving at the hospital, Balsa looked at the film of old Delenn in shock and couldn't believe it!
"How is that possible?!"
"How could this have metastasized to the liver?"
"How long has it been?"
"It's only been a little over a month since the surgery, right?"
"There was no data to prove this before?"
Barsha Delenn, the chief surgical oncologist at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, found it hard to believe the results.
Even Clift Dane, head of oncology at the Mayo Clinic, has a hard time believing this is true!
In the office, both of them were in a very dull mood.
Once this transfer starts, it means...will there be other transfers?
Dane suddenly said: "Balsha!"
"Do you remember... the joke you told me after the operation?"
"It seems...this may not be a joke."
"The other party may have really caught a clue."
Balsa's expression changed: "Dane, how can you believe such a theory?"
"This is a coincidence!"
"What a joke!"
Dane shook his head: "No! Balsa, there are no coincidences in science, everything is traceable."
"This is not a joke!"
"Looking at the current films, I suspect that metastasis may have started from the very beginning, during the operation."
"What does this mean? The other party predicted this faster than us!"
It’s still hard to accept Balsa’s paranoia!
However, if this is the case, what is the point of refuting...?
…
…
And this time!
In the room, next to old Delen, there was also a foreign man named John.
However, compared to old Derren, John is 81 years old and has advanced cancer.
It’s hard to recover!
This time, he came in because of cancer pain.
Old Delenn said: "John, I think... you shouldn't give up."
"You can try Chinese medicine."
"I can recommend a Chinese medicine doctor to you."
"He accurately predicted my cancer metastasis."
"Unfortunately, I didn't believe it."
"Hey... believe me, John, Chinese medicine is much more magical than you think."
"Maybe he can really save you."
"That's a magical medicine. You can give me anesthesia without anesthetics. Have you ever thought about it?"
“How amazing!”
Old John is a diplomat, working in the embassy here in the capital, and has lived here with his family for nearly forty years.
After hearing what Old Delen said, I immediately felt better.
"Really?"
Old John also had some expectations.
He doesn't want to die...
However, now his cancer has become more serious and he is tortured by cancer pain every day.
He had to be admitted to the hospital as a last resort.
After hearing what Old Delen said, a glimmer of hope emerged in my heart again.
Old Delen said seriously:
"I won't lie to you."
"Let me tell you something."
"Even though I was sent to the Mayo Clinic..."
"However, after I am discharged from the hospital, I will definitely go to see Director Chen for medical treatment."
"He's very powerful."
"I think we can go together."
Old John was a little awkward.
Having been a diplomat all his life, John Sr. knew a lot of things in his heart.
He has been engaged in diplomacy all his life...
Now let him see a Chinese medicine doctor...
I still feel very awkward inside.
"Dren, I...I am a diplomat, can I see a Chinese medicine doctor?"
Old Delen sneered:
"Who says foreigners can't go see Chinese medicine doctors? We want to live, right?"
"Besides... Chinese people still use Western medicine, what's wrong with that!"
"What era are you in!"
"Can you still have such an idea?"
"Regardless of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, we are patients and we want to treat illnesses, right?"
When Old John heard this, he gritted his teeth and said, "Then... shall we be discharged from the hospital?"
Old Delen's eyes suddenly lit up: "Okay!"
…
…
ps: During the double monthly pass period, please give me a monthly pass, guys...
