The main source of the quarrel lies between the two of them. After listening to it for a long time, Zhou Yisheng probably understood their identities...
Uncle Qian, a member of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Administration.
The Traditional Chinese Medicine Administration is an official organization with a total of 19 main members, which clearly shows Uncle Qian’s status in the traditional Chinese medicine industry in Hong Kong.
The other person is what Huang Mingshan's wife calls "Professor Chiang". He is a joint professor of the Department of Chinese Medicine at Hong Kong Baptist University and the School of Medicine at the University of Hong Kong, but he is also a member of the Nineteen-member Council.
What on earth were the two arguing about?
proposal!
The Department of Health has decided to launch a reform of the professional examination for Chinese medicine practitioners. After the reform, all Chinese medicine practitioners in Hong Kong will face a comprehensive examination.
Zhou Sheng didn't understand at first that there was anything to argue about in this matter, but as the conversation between the two unfolded, he gradually understood... Nowadays, the professional assessment of traditional Chinese medicine doctors in Hong Kong City will be conducted in different subjects.
For example, if a clinic specializes in treating bruises and bruises, then the doctor only needs to conduct a professional assessment of traditional Chinese medicine orthopedics.
If someone specializes in treating skin burns, then the doctor only needs to undergo professional assessments related to traditional Chinese medicine and skin. This system has been going on in Hong Kong for many years. After all, there are specialties in the industry, and many doctors can rely on a secret recipe passed down from generation to generation.
.
And if the system is reformed, these doctors will definitely face unemployment.
The problem is obvious...
Skin burns, Chinese massage, acupuncture and other doctors rely solely on their craftsmanship and secret recipes. They do not necessarily need a lot of professional knowledge. However, after the general assessment system for Chinese medicine practitioners came to power, they faced the examination paper and only had a black eye and a black eye on the examination questions, and they knew nothing.
If you want to eat this bowl of rice, wouldn't you just study?
Knowing more is also responsible for the patient...
But in fact, things are not that simple.
Uncle Qian then said: "Oh, study? Exam! How many young people are there in those specialist clinics in Hong Kong? I don't need to talk about my uncles, right? They just rely on a piece of dog skin plaster to make ends meet. How can you let a sixty or seventy year old?"
Is it possible for people to learn general knowledge?”
"With the change of the system, you have become more lenient. You say you are responsible for the patients, but what about them? They have lived in this industry all their lives and know nothing except this craft. You are going to ruin their jobs."
Perhaps in the eyes of others, Uncle Qian's logic does not make sense.
The patient's life and death are the most important thing, how can the jobs of a bunch of half-baked doctors compare?
But you have to know that the environment in Hong Kong City is different...
Many people think that Hong Kong and Taiwan are deeply influenced by traditional culture and that traditional Chinese medicine is at its peak.
This is not the case.
Dating back to the Special Period, it is true that many traditional Chinese medicine families moved to Hong Kong. However, due to the suppression of Western medicine and the distrust of foreigners, the development of traditional Chinese medicine has almost come to a standstill.
To put it simply, it was an era where foreigners were more valuable. Things from foreigners were good, and Western medicine also showed extremely efficient treatment methods. Colds and fevers can be solved with just one shot. Why should we take traditional Chinese medicine?
Acupuncture and cupping, but no effect yet?
The older generation may keep the inheritance...
But their descendants are in trouble. Faced with the luxuriant Dagang City, there is no need to consider whether they should be worthless Chinese medicine doctors or financiers, bankers, and entrepreneurs.
As a result, the situation of inheritance and generation has emerged. When the older generation passes away, all the descendants have are some ancestral secret recipes and folk remedies.
But I have to admit that the effectiveness of these ancestral secret recipes is amazing.
As we all know, when traveling to Hong Kong, you must buy some medicinal wine for bruises and special Chinese patent medicines for treating stomach problems. These are secret recipes and the result of the commercialization of folk remedies.
Tourists in the north may not know much about this, but when it comes to this medicine, everyone must know it.
Kyoto Nenjian Chuanbei Loquat Paste.
The main factory of Kyoto Ninji'an is in the port city. In the early years, it was not sold in the mainland. In the early years, Uncle Zhang would bring back a lot of this medicine every year when he returned to Qinzhong. After drinking it, he said it was good.
Some people think it’s wrong. Loquat ointment has always been available in mainland China.
Well, there is, but it is definitely not from Nian Ci'an. It is just a copycat made by mainland pharmaceutical companies. As for the effect, most users can distinguish and compare it.
Likewise, this is also the result of the commercialization of the secret recipe.
The special environment has created a special situation. There are countless folk recipes and secret recipes passed down by traditional Chinese medicine practitioners in Hong Kong. Only a small part of them are commercialized. Many people do not proceed in order to protect the secret recipe from being cheated by others, and because of the special nature of the secret recipe.
Business development and pharmaceuticals are all done by ourselves and sold exclusively.
The new regulations have come into force and will not have much impact on the possession of such secret recipes and folk remedies. Pharmaceutical medicine has nothing to do with doctors and is governed by regulations. If you can sell it now, you can buy it later.
But Chinese medicine bone setting, acupuncture, massage, and as Uncle Qian said, some dog skin plasters cannot pass the drug review. They just rely on their crafts to make a living. If they can really make a fortune, they would have made a fortune long ago. Why bother being forced by a new regulation?
Feeling overwhelmed?
Therefore, Uncle Qian wants to organize the new regulations to come to power and prepares to gather people to protest.
But Professor Jiang disagrees...
His attitude is more rational and more holistic, but impersonal.
The new regulations came into force to standardize the management of Chinese medicine. So far, there is not even a Chinese medicine hospital in Hong Kong. Yes, what a funny thing. All there are are Chinese medicine departments and Chinese medicine clinics.
As long as traditional Chinese medicine is standardized, there will be better development and a better future.
The environment of traditional Chinese medicine in Hong Kong City is terrible. If Zhou Shengsheng had not listened to what they said, he would not have known that the three nationally recognized traditional Chinese medicine colleges in Hong Kong City only recruit 20 people every year, which means that the three schools combined, every year
The number of graduates is only sixty.
But it happened that these 60 people could not find an internship unit in Hong Kong. Most of them went to the mainland to find jobs, and only after completing their qualifications could they be accepted by clinics and hospitals in Hong Kong.
In such an environment, how can we talk about the development of traditional Chinese medicine?
"My dear Professor Jiang, I know you are dedicated to public service, but you don't want to think about it. If they really want to standardize the management of traditional Chinese medicine, why do they include 'no traditional Chinese medicine practitioners using X-ray related equipment' in the new regulations? How about stealing Western medicine?"
Scientific research results, isn’t this the Yan family’s shovel?”
As soon as the words about the money count came out, even Zhang Zhongjian, who had not spoken for a long time, couldn't help it... Traditional Chinese medicine is not allowed to use X-ray equipment. Isn't this a joke? This is Western medicine's suppression!!
"Are the new regulations really set up like this? This is not, isn't it nonsense!"
The words fell.
The three people at the table turned their heads and looked at Zhang Zhongjian, who had arrived at an unknown time, with a look of astonishment on his face.
"Forehead……"
"When did A Zhang arrive?"
"Slow, slow, Ah Hong, hurry up and serve tea." Huang Mingshan stood up directly and called his wife to serve tea to Uncle Zhang.
The old lady didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "No, we've already had three refills of tea. You guys were so noisy that you didn't even notice Ah Zhang and his grandson coming."
The three of them smiled bitterly and looked at each other, but there was no resentment.
Between old friends, discussing matters will never hurt feelings.
Zhang Zhongjian didn't blame the three people. He waved his hand and said: "Stop being polite and let's get down to business. There is obviously something wrong with the new system. What's going on?"
"What's going on?" Uncle Qian became angry again and slammed the table, "Western medicine wants to suppress Chinese medicine. The chief executive planned to build a Chinese medicine hospital last year. They are afraid that Chinese medicine will take over business when it becomes established. Ah Zhang, you know that.
The position of Director of Health can never be occupied by a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner."
"I have no choice but to organize a demonstration to protest. Tell me, what is your attitude? Let the four of us vote..."
Uncle Qian felt that Zhang Zhongjian must support him.
But in fact, Uncle Zhang is an outsider and it is difficult to express his position.
What's more, general practice assessment should also be carried out. Mainland China has popularized and standardized it many years ago.
Yu Qing, he agreed with Uncle Qian, and the Department of Health was indeed suppressing him.
Yu Li also agreed with the new regulations.
"Don't count me out. It's easy for the four people's votes to overlap. Let the three of you vote."
Uncle Qian was speechless and pointed at Zhang Zhongjian, speechless.
But that's right, Zhang Zhongjian is not a native of Hong Kong, so there is nothing much to say.
"Then let's vote, Mingshan."
Unexpectedly, Huang Mingshan, the peacemaker, still became a troublemaker: "I mean, as long as the X-ray system is banned in the new regulations, I will agree to the new regulations..."
"You!!" Uncle Qian's face turned black with anger, "Formalization, formalization, don't I know about formalization? But what about those uncles? I don't have a problem with anyone who wants to kill someone for so many years.
Formalization, but what about the reality? There is no record of Chinese medicine treating death in Hong Kong in ten years. On the contrary, the deputy director of the Hong Kong Adventist Hospital had his obvious medical malpractice covered up... He was demoted and punished until the media exposed it."
"What about Chinese medicine? If the facade is old and the area is too small, it will be disqualified. Why? I don't agree with it. I definitely don't agree with it. Okay, then let's split into two groups and march in protest. I must do it!!"
Say it.
Uncle Qian got up and went out angrily.
Huang Mingshan's wife still wanted to comfort her, but she had already left the gate on the first floor, so she had no choice but to talk and go back.
The scene was deserted for a moment, and then Huang Mingshan turned his attention to Zhou Sheng and the two of them: "Hey, who is this?"
Zhou Sheng also smiled bitterly, stood up and bowed: "Hello, uncle, I am Zhou Sheng."
The old lady added: "He is the grandson of Senior Brother A Zhang."
