Lin Yuan was very clear about the situation Ji Wanglou introduced. The biggest difference between traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine is that their ideological systems are completely different.
It is precisely because of the huge differences in ideological systems that there are even more differences from diagnosis to clinical practice.
In terms of methods alone, Western medicine is rooted in treatment, that is, no matter what disease manifests itself in the human body, various methods should be used to treat various conditions of the disease.
For example, if the body temperature rises like a cold, the first step is to cool down and eliminate it. If there is inflammation, the treatment is to reduce inflammation. For more serious cases, it is necessary to decide whether to use antibiotics and what kind to use, etc.
It has to be said that this series of medical procedures is of great benefit to the standardization of treatment. Moreover, it also facilitates the template of the medical system to form a completely standardized process from diagnosis to treatment.
As far as Western medicine is concerned, most diseases can be diagnosed and treated in a standardized manner. In other words, Western medicine only sees diseases. Whether it is a head of state or ordinary people, when they come to Western medicine, they only diagnose the disease and then treat it according to Western medicine.
Treat according to standard.
This kind of treatment method is like a very standardized formula, which can also be said to be a template. It is also a cold. If you go to an ordinary doctor, he will see it this way, and if you go to an expert, he will see it this way.
All Western medicine doctors use almost the same method for the same disease, which is completely well-founded. In Western medicine, the really difficult thing, apart from various surgeries, is diagnosis. It can be said that ordinary doctors can
The difference between experts is whether they can accurately judge the condition. As long as the judgment is clear, the treatment plan is actually well-founded.
But the difference between Chinese medicine and Western medicine is that Chinese medicine diagnoses diseases for people. Every person, even if they have the same symptoms, such as fever and chills, must be analyzed specifically through their own unique observation, pulse diagnosis, inquiry, and dialectical analysis.
, and then you can make a treatment plan based on your own judgment.
Western medicine has a relatively precise concept of disease, so it is easy to set standards. Take the symptoms of fever as an example. Western medicine treats the signs of fever as fever, and only needs to use physical cooling or medication to cool the temperature.
For heat syndrome, Chinese medicine has too much understanding and complicated response plans. If these specific things are included in the standards, it is estimated that a standard management regulation of Chinese medicine can be comparable to the Compendium of Materia Medica.
In addition, traditional Chinese medicine has lasted for thousands of years and has experienced long development in various places, thus giving rise to many schools. Many schools adhere to the same ideas of traditional Chinese medicine, but there are completely different differences in specific treatment methods.
This technique has given rise to many medical schools with strong local characteristics.
The origin of the many schools and different concepts of traditional Chinese medicine lies in the guiding ideology of traditional Chinese medicine and the vast territory of China.
Precisely because the thinking of TCM is people-centered, and is specific to each individual's specific dialectical analysis, every TCM practitioner is likely to have different understandings of the same disease.
In specific treatments, Chinese medicine focuses on the accumulation of experience, summarizing the most effective treatments in the process of practicing medicine, and forming its own unique style. This is why Chinese medicine has spawned many schools, each of which has its own unique features.
Everywhere, there are good clinical effects.
China's vast territory is also one of the reasons. China's territory spans the tropics, subtropics, temperate zones, and frigid zones. Such a large span makes the people of China live in a very complex environment.
In every specific environment, the pathological symptoms produced are closely related to the environment. In fact, the explanation of pathology in traditional Chinese medicine is very simple: internal causes and external evils.
All diseases are caused by the imbalance of yin and yang in the body due to these two reasons, and then produce diseases. The environment is a major inducement, so in specific regions, there will be diseases with regional characteristics.
Patients with the same rheumatism, northern and southern patients, are likely to adopt different treatment methods. It is very unscientific to forcibly classify the diseases into the same diagnostic and treatment standards.
It is precisely because TCM itself has such complex problems, and because of the various problems TCM faces due to its own guiding ideology, that what has been summarized from different places is vastly different.
This makes it difficult for Chinese medicine to be completely standardized. There is no clear definition of whether this treatment is legal and whether it complies with the rules. Just like some Chinese medicine standards of the Ministry of Health, which limit some toxic Chinese herbal medicines such as arsenic and aconite. However,
In many cases, such a dose cannot cure a disease at all. If a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner uses it, it will be cured, but if something goes wrong, it will be a violation of regulations and you will have to bear responsibility.
Not to mention that it was a headache for health officials like Ji Wanglou, even experts like Lin Yuan felt that they had no idea what to do.
Ji Wanglou's invitation to Lin Yuan to participate in such a meeting indeed posed a big problem for Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan expressed all his thoughts and finally said that the country's emphasis on traditional Chinese medicine has risen to a strategic level. As a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, this is a very happy and affirming thing.
But the reality is that there are too many problems. It is unrealistic to establish a complete set of standardized standards overnight or even in a short period of time.
Forcibly implementing standardized management of traditional Chinese medicine, in Lin Yuan's view, is very short-sighted and barbaric. It is a kind of counterproductive behavior. In the long run, it is an act that endangers the healthy development of traditional Chinese medicine.
After hearing these words, all the participants showed embarrassment on their faces. The meeting hosted by Ji Wanglou was to standardize Chinese medicine and allow the increasingly developing Chinese medicine to have a healthy development.
And this young man, from everything he said, seemed to be unable to temporarily formulate an enforceable unified standard.
Everyone's eyes are looking at Ji Wanglou. The fact is one thing, but the specific implementation is another matter. Officials within the system, no matter what the specific things are, only execute the orders of their superiors.
is the most important thing.
Ji Wanglou was not unaware of what Lin Yuan said. It was precisely because of such a complicated background that Ji Wanglou called Lin Yuan over to see if Lin Yuan could have any constructive opinions.
After thinking for a while, Ji Wanglou smiled and said: "Xiao Lin, according to what you said, can't a complete set of Chinese medicine standards be formed?"
Lin Yuan said seriously: "Minister Ji, leaders, I just said that it is difficult. It is unrealistic to form standardized standards in a short time. Traditional Chinese medicine faces many problems. How to keep up with the times is the sustainable development of traditional Chinese medicine.
The key to sex. I think this not only requires strategic guidance from functional departments, but also requires contributions from folk Chinese medicine practitioners."
Ji Wanglou nodded and asked with a smile: "Xiao Lin, the purpose of asking you to come today is to hear your views on this as a folk Chinese medicine practitioner. Tell me."
"Minister Ji, fellow leaders, our country has made constructive creations when it opened up, and that is the window effect. We can completely regard a place as a testing base, and by observing the influential folk norms of the traditional Chinese medicine market, This will then form policy-based enforceable standards to regulate the market. Then, through the market, TCM will be gradually regulated."
Ji Wanglou pondered for a moment and encouraged: "It's a very good idea to use a point to guide the surface, and standardize the whole through the parts step by step. Xiaolin, tell me what you think?"
"Nanyang is building the largest traditional Chinese medicine market and distribution center in North China. After the construction is successful, Nanyang market will become the first and largest traditional Chinese medicine market and distribution center in China. Moreover, there are local joint venture pharmaceutical companies in Nanyang. If you choose to do it in this place By piloting the standard and then promoting it, I think it will have a constructive and inspiring effect on the national standard of traditional Chinese medicine."
In fact, Xinyuan Charity has long been a pilot institution of the Ministry of Health and has been making various attempts. This time Lin Yuan just put forward some more specific suggestions and tried it in a specific area. And Nanyang does have this conditions and conveniences.
As soon as Lin Yuan finished speaking, a rosy-faced man said: "Mr. Lin Yuan's suggestion is very pertinent. Minister Ji, I think this suggestion is very implementable and we can consider piloting it in Nanyang."
When everyone looked at it, they found that this was Xu Yi from the Nanhe Provincial Health Department. Nanyang was affiliated to Nanhe Province. The pilot project in Nanyang must be the political achievement of the Nanhe Health Department. It was reasonable to support Lin Yuan with high-sounding words.
"Minister Ji, in Anyi, Nanhu Province, Jinlin Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and Xiangjiang Consortium are also developing similar markets. I suggest that such a pilot should also be done in Anyi, Nanhu Province. Only through summary and accumulation in different regions can we Do you have a comprehensive summary of your experience?”
No need to look, this must be Leng Guangyi, an official of the Nanhu Province Health Department. Wherever the pilot is conducted, it means there will be policy subsidies. In addition, coupled with the consideration of political performance, it is very worth fighting for.
Ji Wanglou pondered for a moment and said: "Today's meeting agenda has achieved quite good results. Now we will temporarily adjourn the meeting. Everyone can consider Mr. Lin Yuan's suggestion. This issue needs to be carefully considered."
In China's conferences, major issues are often not decided immediately. Instead, questions are raised. After everyone discusses, various views are exposed, and then the opinions from all aspects are synthesized, and even after a After a lot of gaming, a decision can finally be reached.
Although Lin Yuan was not a member of the system, he knew a thing or two about it. Therefore, he said nothing more.
What Ji Wanglou said about careful consideration is actually to balance the interests of various regions. Who doesn't want to get some benefits from it? Each of them is said in a bureaucratic tone, but everyone can see that it boils down to two words: interests.
It is obvious that such an important issue will not change because of the words of Lin Yuan, a person outside the system, nor will it suddenly produce positive effects because of new ideas.
Ji Wanglou knows the way of being an official. He will not give conclusions easily. He still needs to do a lot of work to make the local health system recognize and implement the above policies from the bottom of his heart.
Lin Yuan is no longer the passionate young man who does what he says. Many things are, to put it bluntly, conflicts of interest. To promote an innovative policy, the pressure faced by the authorities is unimaginable by the public.
If you think it is correct, just promote it. This is also not a scientific attitude, and may even have the opposite effect.
After coming out of the Ministry of Health, Lin Yuan hurried back to Yuquan Mountain. Lin Haichao and his wife were not used to living in Yanjing. After the engagement party, they were anxious to go home. Lin Yuan had to meet his parents no matter what.
Lin Haichao and Xiao Yue'e met Lin Yuan, gave some instructions, and said goodbye to Mr. Yun. After all, they were used to staying in their hometown. In Yanjing, especially in a place with strict rules like Mr. Yun, they would inevitably feel uncomfortable.
