Chapter 1852 Chinese and Western Medicine
Modu Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital is a hospital that has just opened less than two years ago, and has been controversial since its opening. Because compared to now, all major hospitals are modern hospitals with various instruments and Western medicine.
Although the decoration and internal layout of the House of Representatives in the Magic City are no different from those of a modern hospital, there are also some cash and Western medical equipment. But in this hospital, Chinese medicine is the mainstream, rather than Western medicine controlling everything.
Especially in the lobby on the first floor of the hospital, the huge Chinese medicine pharmacy that occupies half of the entire first floor is very shocking to anyone who sees it.
There is more than one such pharmacy, one in the hospital lobby, one in the ward area at the back, and several more in the annex building. In addition, the warehouse of Modu Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital is even larger.
In short, the first thing you smell when you enter the Western Hospital is the smell of various disinfectants and detergents, but when you enter the Magic City Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the aroma of various traditional Chinese medicines is all you smell.
Many elderly people joke that they don't need to go to the doctor when they are sick. They can go to the medicine prescription in the lobby of the Modu Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital and smell the strong fragrance of the medicine and their illness will be reduced by half in an instant.
Because it focuses on traditional Chinese medicine, Modu Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital is not so clear about the divisions into specialties. Because Chinese medicine has not been divided into specialties since ancient times, as a Chinese medicine practitioner, whether it is children's diseases, gynecological diseases, male diseases, surgery or internal medicine, you can treat a little bit of all kinds of diseases.
So there are no divisions. For the outpatient rooms in the row in front of the outpatient clinic building, you just need to register and queue up. It’s the same as calling the number to enter that outpatient room.
Unless there is a special expert number, or there is an urgent condition that requires special care, you can just find a doctor in any department.
Of course, there are no branches in the outpatient department on the first floor, which does not mean that there are no branches in the entire outpatient department and the entire Modu Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. Although traditional Chinese medicine hospitals mainly focus on traditional Chinese medicine, they are somewhat contrary to the general trend of the medical environment in this era.
But traditional Chinese medicine hospitals also have Western medicine, and Western medicine is quite good and has many well-known experts. But unlike other hospitals where Western medicine is the mainstay and Chinese medicine is just a dispensable side effect, the Modu Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine is mainly based on Chinese medicine and supplemented by Western medicine.
In other hospitals, Western medicine suppresses traditional Chinese medicine in their development, while in Modu Traditional Chinese Medicine, traditional Chinese medicine integrates western medicine to strengthen its own comprehensive development.
For example, if a wound on the hand can be broken by a knife, it will usually be fine if it is disinfected and bandaged, and it can be recovered by going home and recuperating on your own.
But according to the so-called science of modern people, if your hand is cut by a sharp metal object, you will not be given a tetanus shot, which seems to make you feel uneasy.
But from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, such injuries are nothing at all. In the past, when the medical level was not so developed, if that part of the body was scratched by metal, as long as the metal was not rusty, it had to be treated, and the wound was too large and had to be treated.
Just wash it with wine at home and wrap it in a quick cloth. The human body's immunity and self-recovery ability are not as weak as you think.
As long as the sharp metal tools are not rusty, or the wounds are not properly treated and are infected by dirt, the chance of getting tetanus is really very low, and it doesn’t matter whether you get the shot or not.
But now the propaganda of Western medicine that reaches the public is not like this. It seems that if you are injured and don’t get a burst of tetanus, you will definitely get infected.
Faced with such a patient, if the doctor reminds him to persist, he will naturally give him a shot of tetanus.
At the same time, when facing car accidents and various major accident injuries, Western medicine’s emergency treatment methods really need to be learned by Chinese medicine.
At this time, you don’t care whether Western medicine cuts off the feet for painful feet, chops off the hands for painful hands, and then disembowells the patient. At least he can save his life. This aspect is lacking in Chinese medicine.
Of course, the lack is not due to the incompetence of traditional Chinese medicine, but the fact that in ancient times there were no cars at all. Many times on the battlefield, or when encountering mudslides and being hit by stones, the inner palace was broken and injured, and there were no ambulances or helicopters to directly appear at the scene with medical personnel in time. Provide treatment.
Basically, those who are seriously injured are carried to the rear for treatment. If they die during this process, they will die. Those who are not dead will be fortune-teller, so doctors will treat them accordingly.
In modern times, there are cars, shell injuries, falling objects from high-rise buildings, and ambulances and ambulance helicopters for timely rescue.
However, since the Republic of China, Western medicine, under the guidance of Western capital, has begun to erode China's medical environment, and traditional Chinese medicine has been suppressed everywhere.
It's okay to treat other illnesses, but it can also treat serious injuries and internal bleeding caused by modern machinery, weapons, or other things.
Acupuncture or other acupuncture techniques practiced by some masters of traditional Chinese medicine can also provide timely treatment. Perhaps there are too few masters of traditional Chinese medicine who master this skill. It is not as popular as Western medicine. Students who have just graduated can perform surgery as soon as the instruments are passed. Move the knife.
Of course, this does not mean that traditional Chinese medicine cannot treat these acute and severe diseases, but that during the more than 100 years since the Chinese medical environment was invaded by Western capital, many things in this area have been lost and need to be made up for.
And this compensation is not only about retrieving what was lost before, but also integrating modern comprehensive learning and progress.
So since Yang Dongxu started to revive traditional Chinese medicine, he knew that what his ancestors left behind was valuable, but he never rested on his laurels.
He worked hard to collect traditional Chinese medicine literature and various inheritances, and wanted to restore the glory of traditional Chinese medicine in the past. It is also gradually promoting traditional Chinese medicine to adapt to the new medical environment of modern times.
Make up for the time gap between traditional Chinese medicine and modern medicine that occurred due to various reasons such as the country being weak and being ravaged by capital.
After all, you can survive only by adapting to the contemporary world. No matter how awesome you are, if you cannot adapt to the contemporary world, you will not have the ability to survive on your own. Surviving closely by the national intangible cultural heritage policy, how can we talk about the renaissance of traditional Chinese medicine?
At an outpatient department of the Modu Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, there were many patients gathered around the door. Instead of waiting in line to be called, some of these patients stretched their heads to look inside to see the excitement.
Because a foreigner with blond hair and blue eyes actually started to argue with a doctor who was sitting in the clinic with his authentic Northeastern smell.
"It's different. The spleen in Chinese medicine is different from the spleen that Western medicine classifies the human body. The spleen in Western medicine refers to an internal organ. It belongs to the lymphatic system. It can engulf dead red blood cells in the blood and is a scavenger of the blood.
The spleen in traditional Chinese medicine means that the spleen and the stomach are connected by a membrane. This is an external-internal relationship. It does not refer to the 'spleen' of the lymphatic organ in Western medicine. So if you say that your spleen has been removed, I am going to prescribe it to you. Fangzi said that nourishing the spleen is not a thing at all.
The spleen in Chinese medicine has the functions of transporting and transforming the essence of water and grain, transporting and transforming water, and transforming blood and other functions. Therefore, it is not the 'spleen' in your mouth that can only act as a scavenger for the lymphatic system. This is not the same code. thing. "
"But the spleen marked in your Chinese medical books is the one I removed in the previous surgery. How can you say it is different? You also prescribe spleen-tonifying drugs. You are obviously wrong and unscientific."
"For a foreigner like you who can't explain the principles of traditional Chinese medicine, I just want to say that the prescription I prescribed is useful and can treat your current condition. If you are willing, just take the medicine with your house.
If you don't want to, the outpatient clinic has scientific and Western medicine treatment plans that you recognize. You can go to the second floor to see a doctor for a further diagnosis. Rest assured that the level of Western medicine in the TCM Hospital is very high, and we can also give you a scientific treatment plan that is consistent with your values. "
The young Chinese medicine doctor in charge could only give two suggestions. This kind of thing is not uncommon in Chinese medicine hospitals, and he has long been accustomed to it.
