Because he was not sure about the location of the nearby traditional Chinese medicine store and the quality of the medicinal materials, Li Duanyang decided to take Professor Li Guifang to the traditional Chinese medicine hospital to get medicine.
When people in the fields of Chinese medicine and Western medicine sit together, it is natural that they cannot avoid talking about the differences between Chinese medicine and Western medicine, and the differences between Chinese medicine and Western medicine.
Li Duanyang tried his best to avoid talking about some overly sensitive issues, so for some of Professor Li Guifang's insinuations, he tried his best to guide them to the difference between traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine.
"Traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine are actually from the same source. They are both derived from plants, animals and minerals. They just have different production methods and medication concepts."
"Traditional Chinese medicine pays more attention to the effects brought by the four properties, five flavors and meridian tropism of the medicinal materials. It also involves the effects brought by the active ingredients of the medicinal materials. Otherwise, the effects of medicinal materials of the same nature and flavor will be exactly the same."
"However, traditional Chinese medicine has always been vague about the active ingredients of medicinal materials, leaving it up to doctors of traditional Chinese medicine to experience it on their own. There is no single Chinese medicine booklet that talks about this aspect."
“Western medicine only studies the active ingredients of medicinal materials, and does not involve the four properties, five flavors and meridians of medicinal materials at all.”
"Western medicine extracts active ingredients from original medicinal materials. A small tablet may contain active ingredients extracted from a large number of original medicinal materials."
Li Duanyang talked in general terms while driving.
His purpose in saying these words was actually just to have something to say with Li Guifang without being silent. As for actually saying anything profound to Li Guifang, whom he had just met, he had no intention of doing so.
How could he coax the old lady to give some help in Qin Linlin's admission to graduate school, and he would have achieved his goal.
But Li Guifang, who was sitting in the back seat, still heard some clues from his words: "What you mean, Duanyang, is that Western medicine is generally more effective than Chinese medicine. One of the important reasons is that its dosage is naturally
Is it a larger dose than traditional Chinese medicine?”
Li Duanyang scratched his head and thought, isn't it obvious that there are lice on his bald head?
A dose of more than 50 grams of a traditional Chinese medicine prescription is considered a large dose, but the active ingredients contained in a small tablet of Western medicine may be extracted from hundreds of grams or even kilograms of the same medicinal materials.
Comparing the two aspects, the dosage of Western medicine is inherently much larger than that of Chinese medicine.
So isn’t this an important reason why Western medicine generally works faster than Chinese medicine?
But even with such an obvious truth, Li Duanyang didn't want to say it clearly to avoid arguing with the old lady. He smiled and said: "It can only be said that the effect of Western medicine is more direct and concentrated. This is why Western medicine generally works faster than traditional Chinese medicine."
reasons."
Seeing that Li Duanyang had taken a roundabout way in his speech, Li Guifang bypassed the question she asked and said with a smile: "Duanyang, you don't have to go round and round when talking. Old lady, I have lived to this age and have never stood up for Western medicine to refute Chinese medicine."
It means that as long as it is good medicine that is beneficial to human beings, it should be promoted. And I myself have now begun to study some traditional Chinese medicine."
"I have never thought about the truth you mentioned from this perspective before. When I heard you say it today, it seems to be true. One of the reasons why Western medicine is generally more effective than Chinese medicine is that it is inherently good at its dosage.
The reason is that the dosage is larger than that of traditional Chinese medicine.”
"Extracting the same active ingredients, high doses and concentrated effects are one of the reasons why Western medicine generally works faster than traditional Chinese medicine. Therefore, many Chinese medicine doctors are hesitant to prescribe large doses. This is probably one of the reasons why traditional Chinese medicine works slowly.
One." Li Guifang smiled.
Li Duanyang smiled and remained silent.
But Li Guifang didn't want to let him go yet. It was not easy to meet such a magical doctor of traditional Chinese medicine. At this time, Li Guifang wanted to continue to investigate and understand him, and more importantly, she wanted to learn some fresh knowledge from him.
Knowledge nourishment, such cutting-edge young people, their views and insights are often more impactful and creative than those of established doctors.
"As for Duanyang, can you talk about the comparison of the side effects of Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine?" Li Guifang asked again.
Li Duanyang smiled and still spoke in a roundabout way.
"There is a view in traditional Chinese medicine that people are born with a complete nature, and the yin and yang qi and blood must be balanced. All medicinal materials are biased, especially mineral herbs, so they use their biased nature to correct the imbalance of yin and yang qi and blood in the human body."
"In this correction process, Chinese medicine pays special attention to being in place and not going offside. If it is offside, it will cause side effects."
"In order to prevent side effects, traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to formulas and uses various medicinal materials to eliminate possible side effects caused by certain medicinal materials. For example, licorice is called the old Chinese medicine. It is generally used in prescriptions to balance the medicinal properties of the medicine.
The role of."
"I actually don't know much about Western medicine. There should be some specific ratios, but I feel that Western medicine seems to be more aggressive than Chinese medicine in treating diseases."
Li Duanyang stopped talking and said no more.
"More than being more radical," Li Guifang said with a smile, "Duanyang, you are too young and your words are too slippery. You can just say what you want."
"Western medicine does...well, there are some aspects that focus on the east and not the west. It is inferior to traditional Chinese medicine in terms of comprehensive and overall adjustment of the human body."
"For example, some painkillers just act like extinguishing alarms, which is even more...well, a bit superficial."
At this point, the two stopped talking about the comparison of Chinese and Western medicine, and talked about the cultivation, processing and storage of Chinese medicine for a while. Li Guifang finally started to ask Qin Linlin, who was sitting next to her, about her studies. When she learned that
Qin Linlin was considered a student with excellent academic performance in school. She even collaborated with Li Duanyang to submit an article for SCI mainly about liver cancer. After passing the preliminary review, she immediately became interested.
"Duanyang, do you still have research on Western medicine regarding liver cancer?" she asked Li Duanyang immediately.
"It's somewhat involved. After all, I'm currently treating several liver cancer patients during my internship. During the treatment, I inevitably have to ask about their treatment status with Western medicine," Li Duanyang said.
His words immediately reminded Li Guifang of what Wang Hui told her about Li Duanyang's effective treatment of several patients with advanced liver cancer. She immediately asked Qin Linlin to bring up the paper. She put on her reading glasses and started to read.
By the time she arrived at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, she had already read the paper and said bluntly: "This paper is very well written, Duanyang. I never thought you had such unique insights into the treatment of liver cancer with Western medicine!"
Li Duanyang smiled and said: "Professor Li, you have misunderstood. This was mainly written by Linlin. I just provided her with some information. How could I have such a deep understanding and insight into Western medicine? Linlin is the one who
First author of this paper!"
"Ah? Really? Linlin, I didn't expect you to have such profound insights into liver cancer!" Li Guifang looked at Qin Linlin and said.
Qin Linlin's face turned red when she said it, and she wanted to find a mouse hole to crawl into. Fortunately, Li Duanyang was there to support her, and her mood immediately calmed down: "Actually, there is no such thing, Professor Li, there is Duanyang here.
The materials he provided are very important. Without the materials he provided, I wouldn’t be able to write it!”
"Anyway, well, Linlin, you are also a malleable talent. Let's prepare. I will try to give you a chance to speak at this academic conference. Well, then you can talk about your
The content of this paper." Li Guifang said immediately.
"Ah?" Qin Linlin was stunned on the spot!
Let her go on stage to speak about this paper to so many experts?
This is too...
"Thank you Professor Li, Linlin really needs such a training opportunity!" Li Duanyang said hurriedly.
He knew that Li Guifang was the vice chairman of the organizing committee of this academic conference, and she was very confident that she would give Qin Linlin such an opportunity to speak on stage!
This is a very important training opportunity for Qin Linlin. At the same time, this experience is also an important stepping stone for her to open the door of xh medical school!
