Volume 2 Chapter 293 Admitting defeat
Du Lin continued: "The third sentence is relatively long, and there are some half-literate and half-vernacular, I just said it directly according to the vernacular, this person said: Chinese medicine does not know what science is, neither understands the structure of the human body, nor studies and analyzes the medicinal properties, and does not hear the content of bacterial and viral infection in Chinese medicine, only knows that it is far-fetched to talk about the five elements of Shengke, cold and heat, yin and yang, and copy a few prescriptions in ancient medical books, and dare to prescribe medicine to people, knowing it but not knowing why, the most amazing thing is what is said in Chinese medicine' Qi', scientists searched the universe, but they didn't figure out what this 'qi' was. The original text of this passage is from Chen Duxiu's "To the Youth". ”
This time it was another thunderous name, and there was another discussion in the audience.
"Let's talk about two more stories, the first is Liang Qichao, a celebrity in the late Qing Dynasty, he is a strong and energetic person, and his friends say that he can live at least seventy or eighty years old, but in fact, he only lived to be 57 years old and died, the reason is the misdiagnosis and mistreatment of Western medicine, he suddenly found blood in the urine when he was 54 years old, so he went to the most famous Western hospital at that time for diagnosis and treatment, Western medicine said that the kidney was seriously ill, and the right kidney needed to be removed......"
Zhuang Poshi coughed, touched his waist, and remembered that his right kidney was gone.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot, you only have one kidney, didn't it irritate you?" Du Lin covered the microphone and whispered to Zhuang Poshi.
"It doesn't matter. Zhuang Poshi smiled, waved his hand, and motioned for Du Lin to continue his speech, but then he suddenly reacted, and looked at Du Lin in shock, he only had one kidney, except for his own family, he had never told anyone, how did Du Lin know?
A friend of Liang Qichao knew a little about Chinese medicine, and persuaded him not to rush to cut his kidney, but first drink a few Chinese medicines to try, but Liang Qichao firmly believed that Western medicine was correct, but unfortunately after removing a kidney, the condition was still the same, and Western medicine said that it was a problem with his teeth, and he had seven teeth extracted, but his condition still did not improve, until three years later, Liang Qichao died of this disease.
What is incomprehensible is that he knew that he died due to the misdiagnosis and mistreatment of Western medicine, but he was afraid that his own affairs would affect the reputation of Western medicine in China, and he deliberately wrote an article before his death, hoping that the Chinese people would not doubt Western medicine because of his own 'case'. ”
"It's really sick, isn't it cheap?" said the audience in the audience, "I have been cured by Western medicine to death, and I have to say good things to Western medicine, is it stupid?"
A person next to him said, "At that time, science had just entered China, and if the Chinese people had doubts about science, then the previous ten years of hard work would be in vain." ”
"Oh, it turns out that there is something unspeakable. ”
"In the second story, the protagonist is also a famous character, Hu Shi. When Hu Shi was 30 years old, he suddenly suffered from diabetes and nephritis, and found a Western doctor, but was told that he could not be cured, so he went home and prepared for the future.
Originally, Hu Shi, who regarded Western medicine as the representative of science, was no longer hopeful, but under the persuasion of a friend, he invited Mr. Lu Zhong'an, the holy hand of Chinese medicine at that time.
Then he took a pound of astragalus, with a small amount of codonopsis, dendrobium, yellow essence, yam, rehmannia and other medicinal materials, and only prescribed seven medicines, Hu Shi took it for seven days, and the symptoms disappeared completely!
After that, Hu Shi lived for another 40 years, which made Hu Shi, who had always been openly opposed to Chinese medicine, very embarrassed, but after all, it was Chinese medicine that saved his life, so he still said vaguely, 'Chinese medicine is not scientific, confused, but can cure diseases, Western medicine is very scientific, very clear, but it cannot cure diseases'. ”
There was a soft laugh from the audience.
"I tell these stories and the comments of several celebrities on traditional Chinese medicine, in fact, I want to tell you that Chinese people have a long history of distrust of traditional Chinese medicine, but why is this so? There are historical reasons here, I won't say much.
The bigger reason is that the Chinese people are not confident in traditional culture, especially many TCM doctors themselves are not confident in what they have learned, which is the real 'internal cause'.
Students studying Chinese medicine change careers halfway, young Chinese medicine doctors dare not use classic prescriptions to treat diseases, and older Chinese medicine doctors are only willing to do 'slow langzhong' and 'Taiping medicine', encountering serious illnesses, lest they avoid it, and even in the treatment room of the Chinese medicine hospital, there are also infusion bottles. Let's ask, if we TCM people treat our profession like this, what can we do to convince patients to believe in TCM?"
Many students in the audience who studied Chinese medicine, even lecturers who taught Chinese medicine, and Dean Zhang Guanshan lowered their heads.
"The country calls on us to establish cultural self-confidence, and traditional Chinese medicine, as a representative of traditional culture, needs us to continue to inherit and carry forward, study the business well, and win the trust of the people with real curative effects. We don't want to make a name for ourselves all over the world, but we must also keep the land of China, let the people of China have confidence in our Chinese medicine, and let the people know that Chinese medicine is not only good at daily health care, but also can cure serious diseases, serious diseases, and emergency diseases!"
"Wow~~~" The audience burst into tsunami-like applause, and Zhuang Poshi also stood up and applauded Du Lin's wonderful speech.
According to the background data statistics of major self-media platforms such as Wai Wai, Kuaiyin, Shaking Hands, and Tomorrow's Headlines, the average number of online viewers exceeded 200,000 in the live broadcast room of this competition of Chinese and Western medicine that night, and there were a few large numbers with more fans, and the number of online viewers was even nearly one million.
"I now declare the winner of this academic contest to be Dr. Doolin!" Zhuang Po Shi held Doolin's hand in the air like a boxing referee.
The applause became more intense.
"In addition, I announce that I implore the leaders of Zhonghu Medical University to continue to fulfill the agreement between us, and I will teach classes at the school according to the contract, but in terms of salary, I want to give half of it to support Chinese medicine students from difficult families and help them complete their studies," the audience was about to applaud, but saw Zhuang Poshi raise his hand and press down, indicating that he still had something to say," In addition, as far as I know, Dr. Doolin has opened a hemolysis clinic, and if Dr. Doolin allows it, I will visit the hemolysis clinic on a regular basis to learn about Chinese medicine from Dr. Doolin and make integrative Chinese and Western medicine my next research topic. And then there's ......"
