"Today, what we are going to talk about is about the possibility of integrating traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine..."
In class, a professor of Western medicine wrote such a topic on the blackboard, turned to look at the people around him and said, "Everyone can express their opinions and share their views on this topic."
Immediately, the top student in the class, Feng Wenjian, raised his hand and was picked up by the old professor. He immediately spoke loudly and said, "Professor, in my opinion, this topic is pure nonsense."
"Wow..."
Hearing this, the entire scene exploded. Everyone looked at Feng Wenjian with disbelief, "Is this guy crazy? He should question the old professor and this topic like this."
In response to this, although the old professor's expression froze, he patiently asked, "Why do you say that?"
Feng Wenjian said unceremoniously, "Hasn't Chinese medicine been proven to be a pseudo-science and pseudo-medicine long ago? Since it is a pseudo-science and pseudo-medicine, how can it be integrated with the great Western medicine?"
Below, the students expressed their opinions one after another, "That's not true. Traditional Chinese medicine has been passed down for many years, and it still has some skills. Although it has not become mainstream, it shouldn't be called pseudoscience or pseudomedicine, right?"
"Come on, if you want to be so good at Chinese medicine, why are you so lonely? If you want to be really good at Chinese medicine, why did you come to the Western Medical College instead of the Chinese Medical College?"
"That's right, I think Feng Wenjian is right. Traditional Chinese medicine is useless if you learn it. Combining Chinese and Western medicine, I think, is just a joke."
This is the reality. In an era when Western medicine is prevalent and Chinese medicine is in decline, even I, as a Chinese, have questioned this medical skill, let alone those foreigners?
Hearing this, the old professor sighed, asked Feng Wenjian to sit down and said, "I know that it is not easy to change everyone's views on traditional Chinese medicine."
"But I can tell you with certainty that traditional Chinese medicine is not a pseudoscience or pseudo-medical technique, but a truly effective treatment method."
"It's just in these years..."
Before the old professor could finish speaking, Feng Wenjian spoke uninvitedly, "Professor, even if Chinese medicine is not a pseudo-science or pseudo-medical technique, this is a Western medicine college. Everyone is here to learn Western medicine. Learning Chinese medicine is just a matter of course."
It will distract everyone’s energy and waste everyone’s time, so why don’t you just change the subject, everyone agrees, right?”
"yes……"
Nearly half of the students expressed their opinions at this moment and unanimously agreed not to study the subject of traditional Chinese medicine.
Deep down, many people feel contempt or even contempt for Chinese medicine.
If you can't bear it anymore, you don't need to bear it anymore. For Li Ziqing, it is understandable for foreigners to question Chinese medicine. But as a Chinese, he would not say anything about questioning Chinese medicine, but actually despised it. He couldn't bear it now.
Therefore, Li Ziqing immediately stood up and said angrily, "Shut up, you superficial people. What do you know? Have you studied Chinese medicine? Do you know Chinese medicine? You don't know anything, so you are denying Chinese medicine?"
Under Li Ziqing's roar, the scene suddenly fell into silence. Only Feng Wenjian raised his glasses and stared at Li Ziqing calmly.
"This classmate, I don't know how much you know about Chinese medicine, but for now, Western medicine has become the mainstream. This is an indisputable fact. No matter how you yell, it is useless."
"Don't you have any idea why Western medicine has become mainstream?"
Sneering, Li Ziqing immediately questioned, "It is undeniable that Western medicine is completely incomparable to Chinese medicine in treating patients. After all, this is also the reason why it can become mainstream.
"
"But this does not prove that traditional Chinese medicine is pseudoscience. After all, traditional Chinese medicine focuses on nourishment, which requires a long period of treatment."
"When the war broke out, Western medicine made great contributions in the war and spread throughout the world, becoming the mainstream of the world."
"But have you really not noticed? Traditional Chinese medicine has been on the rise. People nowadays pay more attention to health and cherish life than before."
…
Feng Wenjian was silent for a long time, then raised his head and said to Li Ziqing, "Then according to what you say, even if Chinese medicine is indeed not a pseudoscience or a pseudo-medical skill, can there be some diseases that Chinese medicine can really treat? For example, the most common one is acute appendicitis.
, can Chinese medicine handle it?”
Hearing this, everyone's faces suddenly showed a look of gloating.
Is acute appendicitis common? It is indeed common, and even every hospital receives such patients every day.
According to Western medicine, this is just a minor surgery, and it ends by cutting out the appendix.
But for Chinese medicine, this is a serious and fatal disease. After all, in ancient times, even kings died of appendicitis, let alone civilians?
If it's just ordinary appendicitis, Chinese medicine does have ways to treat it, but if it's an acute case, it's only available on the market, and Chinese medicine is really powerless.
However, that is just for ordinary Chinese medicine practitioners. After all, in China, inheritance with a name and surname is rare, and those with a shell inheritance are even more pitiful.
After all, in the eyes of the ancestors of China, TCM surgery is not conducive to pretense, which leads to the inevitable transformation of TCM into internal medicine. In internal medicine, TCM usually talks about yin and yang, five elements, heaven and earth, xuanhuang, supplemented by observation, hearing, inquiry, and understanding, which naturally gives people a sense of knowledge.
The feeling of profound insight into a disease can confuse people. In ancient times, ordinary people who did not understand medical skills were very fond of this trick.
Surgery, however, is a hands-on subject. There are not so many pretentious theories. Just get started and do it.
This will give people a sense of vulgarity, and even give people a sense of ulterior motives. Even if a miracle doctor like Hua Tuo wanted to split his head open, Cao Cao thought he had ulterior motives.
Simply speaking, Guigu's medical skills include records on surgery, which are even more astonishing in some aspects than those of Western medicine.
In front of everyone, Li Ziqing sneered and said, "Don't use your ignorance to please everyone."
"There is no surgery in China? That's just because you know too little and have no chance to learn."
"I can tell you with certainty that China not only has surgery, but it is thousands of years earlier than Western medicine. If nothing else, Hua Tuo must be well known to everyone."
"As for why it has not been passed on, it is indeed due to sectarian opinions. After all, such things as teaching students to starve their masters to death were real in the environment of ancient China."
"Don't say that Western medicine can't do it. It's just because they are in this era where they don't go hungry. If it were the same period as China, would you let them try to spread it?"
