Zhou Chuanting was slightly disappointed, but still smiled: "Xiao Lin, it's amazing that you can have breakthrough thinking. The most important thing is that you also have rational judgment. I can't compare to you in this regard."
Lin Yuan said sternly: "Mr. Zhou, you persisted for such a long time for Ma Fei Powder and even tried the medicine yourself. This is worthy of the great respect of the younger generation."
"You are right, Ma Fei Powder is a good topic for academic discussion and research."
"Mr. Zhou, you can't say that. How much precious material and spiritual wealth have our traditional Chinese medicine ancestors left us? However, not only have we not inherited it well, but we have also made few achievements. This is our greatest sorrow."
Speaking of this, Lin Yuan was a little moved: "Mr. Zhou, your research results may not be used clinically in the short term, but this is your constructive contribution to traditional Chinese medicine. Regardless of whether your research results will be
No matter what, you have set a good example for traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine has no limits, and we must continue to study and explore it forever."
Zhou Chuanting said hoarsely: "Xiao Lin, I am not as broad-minded as you, and my knowledge is not as good as yours. My biggest gain from this trip to Yanjing is that I met you."
"Haha, Mr. Zhou is so impressed. It is my greatest honor to meet a pure Chinese medicine practitioner like Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Chuanting held Lin Yuan's hand and kept sighing.
"Xiao Lin, I heard that you are the president of some kind of charity association. Can you introduce it to me?"
Lin Yuan told Zhou Chuanting about his idea of establishing Xinyuan Charity Federation, the process of its establishment, and some of the events he experienced.
Zhou Chuanting sighed: "Xiao Lin, your deeds really make me ashamed. In the process of practicing medicine, I saw that Western medicine misleads people, and the cost of treatment is unaffordable for ordinary people. I don't know what it feels like. Even if I say doctors
My parents’ feelings are a bit over the top, but the feeling of empathy is really sad.”
"Yes, the medical expenses of Western medicine are relatively high. The most disgusting thing is that some hospitals and some doctors actually take the opportunity to make money. All the costs are ultimately borne by the people. People are extremely angry about this, but there is nothing they can do."
"That's why I campaign and use my influence to expand the influence of traditional Chinese medicine, so that people can use relatively low-cost medical treatment. However, the effect is really very little. There are many regulations that suppress traditional Chinese medicine.
The industry is out of breath. Some traditional Chinese medicine practitioners are afraid to use some toxic medicinal materials for fear of being sued."
"Mr. Zhou, this is reality and helplessness, but the younger generation has a view, that is, the rules and regulations stipulated by the state are not for the benefit of Western medicine, but are based on the consideration of the people's rights to life and health."
"Xiao Lin, I admit that what you said is reality, but you have to take into account what your ancestors left behind, right? Traditional Chinese medicine has been serving the Chinese people for thousands of years. Just look at history, how many people died from a plague in the world
Humans? And in China, how many plagues have there been in history? If it weren’t for traditional Chinese medicine, would the Chinese nation have been able to reproduce in such numbers?”
Lin Yuan strongly agrees with this point. Traditional Chinese medicine is a factor that cannot be ignored in stabilizing population numbers in Chinese culture and civilization.
Let’s take the Black Death in Europe. After one outbreak, Europe was almost completely wiped out. In fact, in the research on some disappearing civilizations, some people suspect that the highly civilized populations that disappeared died from the plague.
There are countless recorded plagues in Chinese history. Because the history of Chinese civilization is a history of war.
War kills a lot of people. Everyone knows that if a large number of dead people are not dealt with in time, a lot of germs will breed. Coupled with climate changes, plague will easily occur.
But even under such circumstances, China has never had a plague spread as dangerously as genocide.
During the epidemic of plague, Chinese medicine stood up bravely and withstood such a disaster that was half natural and half man-made. Moreover, in the process of treating previous plagues, Chinese medicine accumulated a lot of clinical experience, which once again played a role in promoting the development of traditional Chinese medicine.
effect.
From an emotional point of view alone, Zhou Chuanting's extreme views on the current relevant departments are reasonable. Because every living person in China today is a beneficiary of traditional Chinese medicine.
No matter you are an emperor, general or ordinary citizen, you will never get sick in your life. When you are sick, you cannot avoid getting treatment.
For thousands of years, traditional Chinese medicine has been the guardian of the Chinese race. For every Chinese living in modern times, whose ancestors have not benefited from traditional Chinese medicine?
But now, Chinese medicine practitioners are being squeezed out, ignored, and marginalized, which makes people feel sad and even strongly dissatisfied.
From the bottom of his heart, Lin Yuan had great respect for the old man Zhou Chuanting, but there were some things he had to say.
"Mr. Zhou, what you said is true. As a Chinese medicine practitioner, I am also very indignant about this. But let's look back and think about it, is Chinese medicine suitable to keep pace with Western medicine, or even replace Western medicine?"
Zhou Chuanting was stunned when he heard this, and asked: "What's wrong? Traditional Chinese medicine is not only effective in treating daily illnesses, but it can also treat critical illnesses."
"Haha, Mr. Zhou, please be patient. Look, there are many reasons why Western medicine is popular. But the most important point is the standardization of operations and strict operating procedures. For example, when a patient arrives at the hospital,
First go to the surgery department, where the doctor will first ask about the symptoms, then take the temperature, and then ask the patient to do a series of tests based on his or her judgment before deciding what method to take."
"Aren't our Chinese medicine practitioners the same? We need to listen, listen and ask questions, but we won't strictly follow the same rules."
"Haha, Mr. Zhou, the gap is right here. Every standard of Western medicine is visible and tangible to the common people. If a doctor violates the rules, he or she can immediately file a complaint. After receiving the complaint, the health department will also respond accordingly.
Standard investigation. Although there are many loopholes in this process, it is still feasible. But what about our traditional Chinese medicine practitioners?"
Zhou Chuanting was speechless. Strictly speaking, the diagnosis of traditional Chinese medicine is based on experience and is not supported by any data. Even if there is a misdiagnosis, it is difficult to find the specific cause.
Western medicine is almost all digitized. A thermometer can display your body temperature. You can get intuitive data on your blood sugar, blood pressure, urine, blood, viruses, rheumatoid factors, and rheumatoid factors.
come out.
Then based on the detected data, corresponding treatment plans are made, and everything is open and transparent.
The treatment of traditional Chinese medicine itself is to diagnose the cause of the disease based on experience, and then apply medicine based on syndrome differentiation in traditional Chinese medicine. You said that Yang-fire is deficient and dampness enters the body. How to test this? What should I do if there is a misdiagnosis?
Except for this kind of medical malpractice, there is no way to solve it if you go to court. In the end, you can only check whether you have a medical qualification certificate. If not, the doctor will be out of luck. If there is, it will usually be settled by mediation and compensation.
Even if the court finally decides, the standard of death and disability caused by medical disputes will be adopted.
In a word, TCM does not have a quantitative standard supervision mechanism.
If we really want to elevate Chinese medicine to the same position as Western medicine, how can Chinese medicine supervise it? Based on experience? Then the public won’t agree.
It would be a joke to only use medical ethics to restrain TCM practitioners. It is related to people's lives and health, and all standards are mandatory. Relying on morality to restrain doctors is like using discipline to restrain civil servants. It is pure nonsense.
.
Zhou Chuanting's eyes dimmed. This old man had devoted most of his life to the status of Chinese medicine. Now, Lin Yuan asked a question that he could not answer.
At this time, Zhou Chuanting felt a deep sense of frustration.
"Mr. Zhou, it will take a long time for traditional Chinese medicine to come to the forefront, which requires institutionalization, formalization, and legalization. In the contemporary environment, we must not only explore and develop traditional Chinese medicine, but also keep up with the times.
.Perhaps, this process will be very long, but as long as we work hard from generation to generation, this goal will be achieved sooner or later."
Tears gradually welled up in Zhou Chuanting's eyes. He firmly grasped Lin Yuan's hand and sighed: "There are many talented people in this generation. Xiao Lin, I am really old. There are many things that are really in my brain."
It’s outdated. But, as you said, as long as we Chinese medicine practitioners work hard, there is no goal that cannot be achieved.”
Bang bang, a burst of applause came, and Zhou Yi walked over from the side.
"Dad, Dr. Lin, I heard what you said. From the bottom of my heart, I am also a Chinese medicine person. Your performance makes me ashamed. I once wanted to quickly upgrade Chinese medicine to the same level as Western medicine like my father. However, in reality
, I have encountered too many difficulties. My heart no longer has the original passion. But now, I seem to see a path to success."
Zhou Chuanting did not blame his son, and said: "Yes, between the two of us, father and son, one is too radical and the other is severely beaten. We have done so many things, but we have always achieved nothing. It's not that we don't work hard, but that we don't have such a vision as Dr. Lin."
.”
Lin Yuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, Brother Zhou, don't belittle yourselves. In fact, what the rise of traditional Chinese medicine needs most is many people like you who are committed to the cause of traditional Chinese medicine. The times are developing, and some concepts of traditional Chinese medicine
It must also be developed. If traditional Chinese medicine is developed only from a technical level, then traditional Chinese medicine will never be able to reach the level of elegance."
Zhou Yi looked at his watch and said with a smile: "Dr. Lin, it's dinner time, let's go eat and chat."
The three of them went to the restaurant talking and laughing, and ordered a few dishes. Zhou Chuanting specially ordered a bottle of good wine.
Zhou Yi said with a smile: "Dr. Lin is so proud. My father has not drank for more than ten years. Now, he has made an exception for Dr. Lin. It is really enviable."
