Chapter 1202 Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine
Generally speaking, the older a doctor is, the easier it is for others to think that he has excellent medical skills.
Under the same circumstances, patients would rather see an old doctor than a young doctor. After all, they feel that age is a sign of life experience, and old doctors definitely have more experience than young people.
Therefore, this is why this man wearing glasses thinks that Ye Zihao is a quack. After all, in his opinion, Ye Zihao is too young.
However, at this time, Shen Yuan heard the man say that Ye Zihao was a quack, and he immediately had an opinion.
When it comes to medical skills, even he himself thinks that he is not Ye Hao. For such a young man with excellent medical skills to be called a quack, Shen Yuan suddenly became angry.
Just when he was about to retort, Ye Zihao patted his shoulder gently a few times and said with a smile: "Grandpa Shen! Don't be angry with him, let me handle it."
"Okay! People nowadays are really looking down on others." Shen Yuan looked serious and glared at the man with dissatisfaction.
At this time, Ye Zihao said to the man, "Brother! From your tone, it sounds like you have high attainments in medical skills? Is that right?"
"Hmph! To be honest, I graduated from a famous medical university. My name is Du Weiwei. I just came to Jiangcheng City to give a lecture today. Mr. He said that his father has suffered from rheumatism for many years and specially asked me to come over and help his father treat the disease."
Du Weiwei said with a coaxing expression on his face.
"Oh? I don't see that you are here as an expert. Are you a Chinese medicine practitioner or a Western medicine practitioner?"
Ye Zihao looked slightly surprised and asked curiously.
"I'm a Western medicine practitioner, Chinese medicine? It's just rubbish!" Du Weiwei retorted with a disdainful expression on his face.
He believes that traditional Chinese medicine is an old idea and should be replaced by the times. Today, Western medicine is the best medical technique for treating diseases.
You must know that Ye Zihao is a member of the medical sage, and his ancestors have always been traditional Chinese medicine. In his heart, traditional Chinese medicine is not only a medical skill, but also a spiritual and cultural inheritance.
But now someone is insulting Chinese medicine and saying that Chinese medicine is rubbish, which makes Ye Zihao angry all of a sudden.
Even the old Chinese medicine doctor Shen Yuan beside him became angry.
"Boy! You are very loud. I have been engaged in the research and development of traditional Chinese medicine for decades, and I have never heard of anyone calling traditional Chinese medicine rubbish. But you are the first!"
Shen Yuan scolded him with an angry look on his face.
"Old sir! Am I wrong? Look at today's society, which patient doesn't go to a Western doctor first when seeing a doctor? Go to the hospital and see? How many people are queuing up to see a Western doctor?"
Du Weiwei retorted disdainfully, and even used the current situation to refute Shen Yuan's point of view.
"You...you you!"
Shen Yuan was so angry that he couldn't speak.
As a Chinese medicine practitioner, he certainly knows that Western medicine is now rampant and Chinese medicine is lagging behind.
It’s not that Western medicine is very powerful, but people are accustomed to the quick results of Western medicine, but they ignore the essence of Chinese medicine.
"Old sir! Am I right? You have also been in a hospital. You should know that Western medicine is better than Chinese medicine!"
Du Weiwei became even more arrogant when he saw Shen Yuan remained silent.
At this time, Ye Zihao on the side couldn't stand it anymore.
In front of him, he actually did not mean to look down on Western medicine, nor did he say that Chinese medicine was the most powerful.
He believes that as long as the patient's disease can be cured, it is a good medical skill.
But now the self-proclaimed expert Du Weiwei in front of him seemed to be discriminating against Chinese medicine, which made Ye Zihao very unhappy.
That’s right!
It’s unpleasant!
So, with a serious expression on his face, he said, "Doctor Du! I admit that today's society likes Western medicine, but you can't deny the contribution of traditional Chinese medicine."
"In Country Y, Chinese traditional medicine is trusted by the royal family. Every time the queen travels, she always brings various homeopathic medicines. The queen's sister, Princess Mary, once used Chinese herbal medicine to treat synchronized migraines, and the queen also approved of its use.
Treatment using integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine.”
"It is for this reason that Chinese herbal medicine, acupuncture and other combined traditional Chinese and Western medicine therapies are booming in country Y. Now about 2.5 million people in country Y use homeopathy, Chinese herbal medicine, massage, bone setting and acupuncture every year, paying as much as 90 million in medical expenses.
Pounds, according to you, if Chinese medicine is rubbish, will the people of country Y spend 90 million pounds in vain?"
…
Ye Zihao questioned and asked.
"I...I! Me!"
Suddenly, Du Weiwei was speechless by Ye Zihao's question.
indeed!
In Europe, the popularity of traditional Chinese medicine is even more popular than in China.
It is not popular at home but popular abroad. This is the tragedy of Chinese traditional medicine.
"If you think this is not convincing, let me tell you another statistic. There are about 50,000 doctors practicing traditional Chinese medicine in country G, and nearly 2 million patients receive traditional Chinese medicine treatment every year. Do you think traditional Chinese medicine is still rubbish?
"
Ye Zihao continued to refute and said.
"Hmph! In short, Chinese medicine is not as good as Western medicine! This is generally recognized!"
Du Weiwei bit the bullet and retorted, saying.
"I can only say it's temporary!"
"In my opinion, traditional Chinese medicine is not only a medical skill, but also an inheritance of medical ethics. Sun Simiao, the king of medicine in the Tang Dynasty, had noble medical ethics and can be called a model in the medical field. He wrote in "Qian Jin Yao Prescription": "
If someone comes to seek help from someone who is sick, he or she should not be asked whether he is rich or poor..."
Speaking of this, Ye Zihao even mentioned Sun Simiao, the king of medicine.
Doctors are like parents, but in today's society, how many people can really do this?
This is a lack of culture and a lack of belief.
"So, I advise you not to look down on Chinese medicine. If you can, you can learn Chinese medicine, because if you can combine Chinese medicine with Chinese medicine, you will cure more patients."
At the end, Ye Zihao said with a very serious expression.
Shen Yuan, who was on the side, was very excited after hearing what Ye Zihao said.
Traditional Chinese medicine is not only a medical skill, but also the inheritance of a traditional culture.
Things left behind by our ancestors cannot be thrown away!
"Tch! This is just what you said. No matter how great you are about Chinese medicine, it is generally accepted that it is not as good as Western medicine! You can't change this concept."
Du Weiwei sneered disdainfully and started laughing.
"I alone can't change, but countless practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine can change. Even if they can't change, their descendants, as long as there are still people practicing traditional Chinese medicine, sooner or later one day Chinese medicine will be recognized by society!"
Ye Zihao had a serious expression on his face and said some exciting words.
When Shen Yuan on the side heard this, even his old eyes became moist.
If Chinese medicine had more ambitious young people like Ye Yehao, it would not be difficult to revitalize the great cause of Chinese medicine.
