Chapter 116: Admitting its curative effect but not its theory is a rogue
"What kind of strange disease is this?"
Before Li Duanyang returned to the hospital, Qin Linlin called him.
Now she is very interested in strange diseases and such.
After listening to Li Duanyang's description of the patient's condition, Qin Linlin was surprised and thought for a while without understanding the cause and pathogenesis of this. How could the patient become so cold whenever he ate or drank water?
There is no way to explain this condition using the theories of Western medicine, nor can it be explained using the theories of Chinese medicine - based on what she has learned so far?
"Tell me, what's going on?"
She had a headache thinking about it and couldn't figure out what was going on. Qin Linlin had no choice but to ask Li Duanyang for advice.
For her, Li Duanyang has now become her "medical treasure book".
"Cold evil lurks in the human body and causes mischief."
Li Duanyang explained the theory that "after cold evil invades the human body, the cold air will be transformed into human body fluids, and then transformed into phlegm and blood stasis, and even fat-like semi-solid and solid substances lurking in the human body."
Qin Linlin listened.
Qin Linlin felt incredible after hearing this and expressed deep doubts!
When cold air enters the human body, it liquefies into a liquid and then solidifies into a solid?!
Then when people eat and drink water, they generate heat, which causes the cold air to melt from solid to liquid, and then vaporize into gas?!
Then during this process, a large amount of heat must be absorbed from the patient's body, so the patient will feel cold?!
Did this cold evil actually play with the three-state transformation of matter in nature in the human body?
Isn't this too ridiculous?!
But it seems...
Apart from this pathogenesis, it seems that there is no other more reasonable etiology and pathogenesis?
But this would definitely be denounced as nonsense in Western medicine thinking!
"I can't figure it out..."
Qin Linlin murmured.
"Perhaps Li Duanyang's words are right. For things that we have not yet fully understood, we can use various thinking modes to think about it, not just through the modern so-called [scientific] thinking mode.
To think.”
"If the modern so-called scientific thinking model cannot explain some things on its own and suppresses other thinking models, then is this [scientific thinking model] still scientific?"
“We should not be imprisoned by the modern so-called [scientific thinking model].”
Qin Linlin thought like this and felt that her thoughts were drifting into some chaotic channels. She quickly stopped and shook her head to get rid of these strange thoughts.
But she knew very well that she could get rid of Li Duanyang's thinking mode, but when encountering a special illness, you may not be able to solve the patient's condition just by using the so-called scientific thinking mode of Western medicine.
At that time, you have to use other thinking modes to solve the patient's condition.
The completely different thinking models of Chinese medicine and Western medicine really separate people’s outlook on life.
Let’s see how this patient’s strange condition is viewed in the end.
The efficacy is the most objective thing.
You can't forcefully say, "I recognize your efficacy, but I don't recognize your thinking."
That would be pure cheating.
Therefore, Qin Linlin waited to see how the patient's strange condition was finally cured.
However, Li Duanyang forgot about this incident after returning to the hospital.
After all, in the many years he has been practicing medicine, such illnesses have been insignificant and cannot be called strange diseases at all.
The reason why it is regarded as a strange disease is simply because too many people do not believe in or recognize the thinking of traditional Chinese medicine.
Two days later.
After the patient Han Jinhou took the prescription prescribed by Tang Jiacheng, his aversion to cold was slightly relieved, his epigastric distension moved downwards to abdominal distension, his gas (farting) increased, and his stool became formed.
This shows that the medicine is effective.
His younger brother Han Zhonghou became interested again after looking at Tang Jiacheng's prescription and Li Duanyang's prescription, so he said to Han Jinhou: "Brother, what do you think if you try adding two flavors of Atractylodes macrocephala and Dabupi?"
Han Jinhou listened to his brother's words and added Atractylodes macrocephala and Dabupi according to Li Duanyang's prescription. After only one day of use, his aversion to cold when eating and drinking hot water disappeared, he no longer yawned, his urine became clear, and his rash disappeared.
After taking it for another day, all symptoms were cured.
Han Zhonghou immediately sent his secretary to take his brother Han Jinhou to see Li Duanyang to see how further adjustments and consolidation were needed.
At that time, Li Duanyang, Qin Linlin, and Gao Xiaozhu moved chairs and sat under the big tree in front of his dormitory, reading and chatting.
Qin Linlin was bored with her studies and wanted to write an SCI article, but had no ideas, so she came to Li Duanyang to find inspiration.
Seeing Han Jinhou coming, Li Duanyang asked him about his medication. Han Jinhou told Li Duanyang about his medication and current physical condition with surprise and respect. Li Duanyang checked his pulse (at the same time, naturally
After sensing the yin and yang qi and blood conditions all over his body), he added or subtracted the previous prescription and asked him to go back and take it for a while.
Han Zhonghou's secretary Xu Ken, who was nearly forty years old and wearing a pair of glasses and was elegant, pulled Li Duanyang aside and asked him what difficulties he had in study and life.
This is also the reason why Han Zhonghou sent him here.
"There is no difficulty." Li Duanyang smiled, "I have recently accepted two apprentices..."
He mentioned Gao Xiaozhu's need to enter a kindergarten near the traditional Chinese medicine hospital next semester, and Li Nini's younger brother Li Ke's transfer to primary school.
This kind of thing is not a big deal, but he still needs to run hard to get it done. Now that he has the opportunity to get things done just by opening his mouth, he will naturally not let it go, so he mentioned it.
With a surprised expression, Tsui Hark took out his mobile phone and wrote down the details of Gao Xiaozhu and Li Nini's younger brother Li Ke. He still couldn't help but asked: "Excuse me, Doctor Li, what do you think? How could you accept someone who is not even in junior high school?"
A girl who has not graduated and is an apprentice to a five-year-old girl?"
"It's easy to lead." Li Duanyang said with a smile, "Besides, I don't have much fame at all now. Who else except them would really worship me as their teacher?"
Of course this was just a joke, Tsui Hark took it as a joke, and then he, Han Jinhou and Li Duanyang said goodbye and left.
"It seems that your strange theory that cold air will liquefy into liquid or solidify into solid after entering the human body is right. The efficacy proves everything."
Qin Linlin looked at the back of patient Han Jinhou and said to Li Duanyang.
"That's not my theory, it's a theory from the "Huangdi Neijing"." Li Duanyang shook his head and said, "There is a saying in the "Huangdi Neijing" that cold can cause turbidity. Of course, there can be other explanations for this sentence, such as cold air entering the human body.
Later, it will liquefy the internal organs of the human body and the meridian qi in the meridians into liquid, and then condense the moist body fluid and blood into phlegm, blood stasis, and solids such as fat. You can also explain it like I did. I explained it like that just to make it more clear.
It’s just simple and clear.”
After saying this, Li Duanyang changed the subject.
"I won't talk about this anymore. If you still want to write a sci-fi article, I have an idea to give you."
"Huh? You have an idea again? Tell me." Qin Linlin immediately stared at Li Duanyang with wide eyes.
Gao Xiaozhu on the side also immediately craned his neck to listen.
Although she didn't understand it at all, she just liked to listen.
