Chapter 438 Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine
"Of course, I'm an authentic China expert."
James paused for a moment and continued: "I have a quarter of Chinese blood. I have heard my grandfather tell stories about China since I was a child, so I have been very attracted to Chinese traditional medicine. However, when I came to China and came into contact with traditional Chinese medicine, I found that they were all lies.
Damn, you can treat illnesses and medicines as you please, everything is made up and exaggerated by you."
James' words were merciless, and everyone in the room frowned. Even Liu Heng, who invited James, had an embarrassed expression on his face.
Liu Heng quickly said to Director Pan: "Director Pan, Dr. James is a foreigner, and they are a bit... outspoken."
Pan Bin frowned slightly and said: "Although Western medicine has quick effects, Chinese medicine has been passed down for thousands of years and is not useless as Dr. James said."
Seeing this, Zhou Xing stood up and said: "Dr. James, like our Jinyang City's Miracle Doctor Jiao Yibai, and his apprentice Miracle Doctor Liu Taixiong, are all famous masters of traditional Chinese medicine in the country. If you have seen their methods, you will not know
You would say such irresponsible things."
James said with disdain: "I have heard about Jiao Yibai's reputation, and I was about to go see Director Pan after I finished treating him.
It is said that traditional Chinese medicine doctors can know the patient's condition by just looking, smelling, asking and feeling without any examination. This is similar to your myths and legends. I would never believe it even to death.
I might as well tell you that the purpose of my trip to China is to discuss with all the miracle doctors of traditional Chinese medicine in your country.
Moreover, my thesis for applying to join the Vascular Research Center of Massachusetts General Hospital was intended to be about exposing Chinese traditional medicine.
A doctor's responsibility is to save lives and heal the wounded, not to use it as a guise to make money. You Chinese medicine practitioners have too many dirty things."
Director Pan and Zhou Xing were livid, but they also knew that what James said was true. There are indeed many Chinese medicine scammers, using the name of Chinese medicine to defraud money and sex.
Some time ago, there was a news report about a woman who was superstitious about Chinese medicine because of her infertility. She was tricked into having a relationship by Chinese medicine practitioners using the theory of picking up yang, replenishing yin, and harmonizing yin and yang. In the end, she was not only violated, but she also lost a lot of money.
Therefore, although they were angry, they could not find anything to refute for a while.
"The situation you mentioned exists, but there are also many good Chinese medicine doctors." Zhou Xing said bravely.
"Good Chinese medicine? Humph, doctors with good character have no medical skills. I have never seen a doctor with good medical skills..." James shook his head and said with a smile.
He has already thought about his future development direction, which is to join the Vascular Research Center of Massachusetts General Hospital based on traditional Chinese medicine.
This trip to China to challenge traditional Chinese medicine is not only to apply for a certificate of admission to Massachusetts General Hospital, but also to create a gimmick for the advancement of traditional Chinese and Western medicine. I believe that Massachusetts General Hospital will like my paper that refutes traditional Chinese medicine because I am a quarter of Chinese descent.
"Shameless talk!"
Hearing James' words, Jiang Xiaofan's face suddenly turned cold. Now it was no longer an open fight between him and James, let alone a secret fight between Zhou Xing and Liu Heng, but a duel between Chinese and Western medicine.
He could almost imagine how bad the impact James's paper slandering Chinese medicine would have on the international community once it was published.
Nowadays, the international status of traditional Chinese medicine is already in jeopardy. If it is spread by people from Massachusetts General Hospital, the dream of traditional Chinese medicine to the world will be even more tortuous.
Jiang Xiaofan stood out from the crowd, stared at James and said word by word: "Traditional Chinese medicine has been passed down for thousands of years and has been perfected by countless generations of ancestors. How can you deny it with just one sentence?
Although there are many good and bad TCM doctors nowadays, there are many TCM doctors who have both ability and political integrity.
Besides, even if Chinese medicine has some rat poop, your Western medicine butts are clean?
The development of Western medicine was accompanied by the unstoppable spread of malaria, the widespread spread of the Black Death, and the massive sacrifices. It was accompanied by invasion and enslavement of people in other countries. It was perfected step by step with poisons and anatomy. It was accompanied by many biochemical technologies built on other countries.
The research institute has gradually grown through unknown means.
When it comes to darkness and profiteering, Western medicine is full of cannibalism and bloodshed."
Jiang Xiaofan paused and continued in a slower tone:
"In fact, both Chinese and Western medicine, from the perspective of treating diseases and saving lives, are not distinguished between high and low. But instigated by ulterior motives, there are now people everywhere saying that Chinese medicine is useless. Most of these are the voices of Western medicine. Who has heard Chinese and Western medicine completely deny Western medicine?
?
Western medicine is limited to diseases, while Chinese medicine specializes in treating people.
Small doctors heal diseases, traditional Chinese medicine heals people, and big doctors heal the country. This is China’s unique culture and spirit, and it is not something you foreigners can understand.
China has come a long way from the wilderness, and has never lacked the determination to ignore death and fearlessly explore. Even though Chinese medicine as a whole currently lags behind Western medicine, I believe that in the near future, Chinese medicine will definitely shine internationally."
Jiang Xiaofan's words were deafening and fell on everyone's ears like thunder. Dr. James took a few steps back unconsciously and said angrily with a red face: "You, you are sophistry!"
Zhou Xing was so excited that he slapped his thigh: "Brother Jiang, that's well said!"
"A small doctor can heal a disease, a traditional Chinese medicine can heal a person, and a great doctor can heal a country."
Pan Bin stared at Jiang Xiaofan and nodded slightly, obviously agreeing with Jiang Xiaofan's words.
Liu Heng on the side was a little panicked. If Jiang Xiaofan was in the limelight today, it would be equivalent to Zhou Xing being in the limelight. Then he might be defeated by Zhou Xing and miss the position of Qingyuan County Cultural Tourism Bureau...
Thinking of this, Liu Heng coughed loudly twice and quickly changed the topic: "Everyone is here today mainly to treat Director Pan's hair loss. Whether it is traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine, true knowledge comes from practice."
"A good practice brings true knowledge."
Jiang Xiaofan looked at James and sneered: "Since your Western medicine is so good, then tell me the reason for Director Pan's hair loss."
James looked arrogant again: "I have taken Director Pan's blood and used this most advanced instrument to test it. The results will be available in half an hour. Blood is the foundation of human life, and many diseases will have reactions, including serious ones.
Cancers as small as colds and fevers can cause abnormalities in the blood. Once the test results come out, we can find out the cause of Director Pan's hair loss and then prescribe the right medicine."
"So advanced?" Liu Heng shouted deliberately: "Then Director Pan's hair loss will definitely be cured today."
A glimmer of expectation arose in Pan Bin's heart. Hair loss has always been a concern of his. If James could really help him cure it, even if what he just said didn't sound good, it wouldn't be unforgivable.
Zhou Xing swallowed nervously. Whoever brings someone between him and Liu Heng who can cure Director Pan's hair loss will basically get the position of Qingyuan County Cultural Tourism Bureau.
James enjoyed everyone's shock and said proudly: "Of course, this is the latest instrument we have developed, and it has not been announced to the public yet."
Then he looked at Jiang Xiaofan with meaning: "At the same time, we will prevent some countries from sending spies to steal our precious technological achievements."
