Chinese medicine: from rural hospitals to top three hospitals in Kyoto

Chapter 885 Opportunity



Chapter 885 Opportunity

Chen Yang's voice echoed in the studio, clear and firm, and every word was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples:

"In Western medicine, the three words 'cholelithiasis' are a result and a label. It tells us that there are stones in the gallbladder and it is inflamed. Is this important? Yes! It provides key information. But when Chinese medicine is treating a patient, it must not stop there and be boxed in by this label!"

He glanced at Zhao Hailin and Sun Mingde, his eyes were calm but had the power to penetrate people's hearts.

"What do we Chinese medicine practitioners look at? We look at the 'symptoms'! It is the sum of the pathological conditions that are vividly manifested in the patient at this moment and are unique to him. Why is Mr. Wang in pain?"

"The pain is coagulating and piercing, resisting pressure; the pulse is deep, stringy and astringent, like a taut steel wire stuck in gravel; the veins under the tongue are purple and swollen, like earthworms that have sprung up. What do all these point to?"

"It points to 'blood stasis blocking the collaterals'! This is the core pathogenesis of his unbearable pain and stones! It is the stagnation of liver and gallbladder qi for a long time, which causes blood to coagulate and become stasis, blocking the bile duct like silt! If you only focus on the result of 'stones' and think of using a large amount of so-called 'stone-removing medicine' to flush them away without dredging the river and clearing the silt, how can the effect be good?"

"Of course not. Not only that, it will backfire and cause even more severe colic!"

Zhao Hailin's face turned from red to white, and fine beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead, gleaming faintly under the spotlight.

Chen Yang's words were like a heavy hammer that suddenly woke Zhao Hailin up. For a moment, he didn't know what to do.

At Shanzhou Provincial Medical University, Wu Yaolin looked at Zeng Anfeng beside him with a smile, while Zeng Anfeng had a grim expression on his face and said nothing.

Early in the morning, Zeng Anfeng was called by Wu Yaolin to watch the show.

Just watch the show, but the problem is that Wu Yaolin's apprentice stole the show, while Zeng Anfeng's apprentice became a joke...

Several chief physicians were outshined by a young man.

"Old Wu, you are just lucky. What relationship does Chen Yang have with you?" Zeng Anfeng snorted coldly. He couldn't stand Wu Yaolin's look.

At such an old age, he is still a villain.

Wu Yaolin doesn't care about all this. If it were Zeng Anfeng, wouldn't he have the same expression?

The tendency to show off is almost innate in human beings. Even children know how to show off their toys. No matter how old a person is, showing off can bring people great spiritual pleasure.

There was silence in the audience at first, and then, someone took the lead, but the applause suddenly exploded like long-buried spring thunder.

It started out as sporadic applause, but soon it became a surging wave that swept across the entire studio. The applause was a mixture of admiration for Chen Yang's superb medical skills, appreciation for his courage to point out the shortcomings, and a resonance of being enlightened!

Even more enthusiastic and longer-lasting applause erupted like a tsunami, and many audience members stood up excitedly.

Shen Qiuyun and He Huimin looked at each other and saw deep shock and sincere admiration in each other's eyes.

These words are eye-opening and directly point out the deep-rooted problems that are prevalent in current Chinese medicine education and clinical practice.

Zhao Hailin's face turned completely pale, while Sun Mingde sighed long and silently, his shoulders slumped slightly, as if some support had been removed.

"well said!"

In front of the TV, an old man wearing reading glasses and looking like a scholar couldn't help but shouting and clapping loudly at home.

"This is the Chinese medicine I know!" a young girl said excitedly to her companions, her eyes slightly red.

In the director's room, Tang Wenshan excitedly waved his fist and roared into the headset: "Close-up! Close-up of Dr. Chen! And the audience's reaction! Cut in the expressions of Director Zhao and Director Sun! Yes, that's it!"

The ratings curve, at the moment the applause rang out, once again stubbornly rushed upwards up a steep slope.

Wen Xiuping, Chu Yiyun and Song Luojun also nodded slightly at this moment.

"This time, Xiao Chen has really given people all over the country confidence in traditional Chinese medicine." Chu Yiyun said with emotion.

"Grandpa Chu, several chief physicians have been overshadowed by Chen Yang. Wouldn't this make it seem like Chinese medicine... Chinese medicine doctors are too watered down?" Wen Manlu asked.

"I think it's quite the opposite."

Song Luojun said: "The integration of Chinese and Western medicine has been going on for many years. Over the years, Western medicine has played a great role with its precise examination methods, clear anatomical positioning, and emergency and critical rescue capabilities. These are also precious treasures that we Chinese medicine practitioners need to learn and draw lessons from. However, integration is by no means a replacement, let alone ablation!"

Song Luojun's voice rose a few notches as he spoke, with a sound of iron and stone: "Chen Yang is right. Chinese medicine must first be named 'Zhong'! This 'Zhong' is our root! It is where our soul is."

"What is this root? It is the holistic view! It is the treatment based on syndrome differentiation! It is the wisdom of 'studying the inside from the outside'! It is the harmony of 'different treatments for the same disease and the same treatment for different diseases'! It is the unique theoretical system of zang-fu meridians, qi, blood, body fluids, yin and yang, and the five elements! If you discard these and only have the test reports and imaging reports from Western medicine, and then mechanically apply a few Chinese medicine prescriptions, is that still Chinese medicine? That is 'pseudo-Chinese medicine' in the guise of Chinese medicine! That is slowly committing suicide of our own national quintessence!"

"The mediocre performances of several chief physicians in this program just show how much advantage there is in pure TCM thinking and how much advantage there is in adhering to the foundations of TCM."

Song Luojun said: "Traditional Chinese medicine has its own characteristics, and Chen Yang has just brought out the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine. Taking this popularity as an opportunity, perhaps it is time to start changing traditional Chinese medicine."

Wen Xiuping and Chu Yiyun both nodded when they heard this.

"Luo Jun is right."

Chu Yiyun said: "In recent years, Chinese medicine has been constantly changing, combining Chinese and Western medicine, learning from Western medicine, and drawing on Western medicine. Due to the universality of modern medicine, Chinese medicine has been greatly disturbed, and the new school of Chinese medicine is quite large..."

"Gradually, people began to lose confidence in Chinese medicine. This time, Chen Yang did not represent himself, but traditional Chinese medicine, pure Chinese medicine."

"It is precisely because Chinese medicine has maintained its characteristics that it can treat many problems that modern medicine cannot solve. If Chinese medicine is completely westernized, then there is no need for it to exist."

Perhaps in the eyes of others, what they saw was that several chief physicians were slapped in the face by Chen Yang, which showed that the level of Chinese medicine experts was insufficient, but in the eyes of Wen Xiuping and others, what they saw was an opportunity.

Many times, changing many things is not that simple. It requires the right time, place and people.

This time, the program in Shanzhou Province was very popular and caused widespread discussion on the Internet, and Chen Yang's level was recognized by everyone...

Maybe this really is an opportunity.
