Chapter 152: The Difficulty of Learning Chinese Medicine
The communication between Zhang Xuesheng and Gao Shan was not short, and the voice was not small. The team of foreign orthopedic experts, including Wilson and others, also heard it clearly.
At this time, a young doctor from the First Affiliated Hospital suddenly said: "I thought that Chinese medicine was really so great, and that Chinese medicine could really be so magical? Isn't it necessary to fix it with plaster?"
As soon as these words came out, Gao Shan immediately frowned and looked at this man: "This doctor, I don't agree with what you say. Speak on the facts. In the orthopedics of traditional Chinese medicine, splints and slings appeared very early. Can this also be said to be a copy of Chinese medicine by Western medicine? Moreover, whether it is Chinese medicine or Western medicine. Better protection for patients, more effective and safe technology to help patients. That's good technology. It should all be inherited. ”
Gao Shan glanced at Zhang Xuesheng and said, "I'm afraid you have some misunderstanding between Chinese and Western medicine." We never said that. To carry forward Chinese medicine is to completely reject Western medicine. On the contrary, there are many voices that want to reject Chinese medicine entirely. ”
Wilson also stood up at this moment, looked at the mountain, and stretched out his hand. And I swept away the previous attitude and became very respectful. "Professor Gao, I very much agree with your words. No matter what kind of medical skill it is, as long as it can treat patients better and safer. We should promote this kind of technology. ”
Speaking of this, Wilson changed his tone and said, "Professor Gao." Can we do a detailed examination of the patient?"
Gao Shan pondered for a moment and said, "Of course you can, if it's an X-ray or a CT scan." It will take another day to wait. It is estimated that the plaster photo will be removed tomorrow, but the plaster will still be applied later. ”
Gypsum itself is a type of mineral. Plaster is also reflected on X-rays. This kind of photo is directly blurred bones.
Next, Wilson's team conducted a detailed examination and diagnosis of the patient. Time flies. The next afternoon. When the cast is removed. You can see that there is still some scattered tendency in the patella.
With the X-rays coming out, with the clearer CT films coming out. It's still in the office of the Department of Orthopedics of the First Affiliated Hospital. Look at the film placed under the reading light.
Everyone was silent. Wilson said slowly, "Sheffield, what do you think?"
Sheffield Downing also frowned at this moment, and said in a deep voice: "Wilson, judging from the current examination results, there is not a single foreign body in the knee joint. All the bones seem to be intact together, as if there is no comminuted fracture, which... It's just incredible. ”
"Specifically the impact on the patient's future bodily function. Including nerves, muscles, tendons, etc., there is no problem for the time being. Further investigation and examination are required. ”
When he said this, a middle-aged doctor from their team next to him said slowly: "Professor Wilson, I think we should discuss our patients." Judging by the existing situation. Our patient situation is not promising. The tendon is partially ruptured. This is likely to lead to problems in the patient's life after recovery. ”
At the mention of this question, everyone on Wilson's side frowned. Fracture is actually not terrible, the most important thing for patients with fracture is that they are afraid that they will damage nerves, tendons, and muscles after fracture, which is the most headache thing.
"It's not fair. The difficulty of their condition is not so complicated at all. Can a patient with a tendon injury compare to a patient with an intact tendon?" said a member of the team immediately.
These words immediately made Wilson and Sheffield Downing look at him. That's a bit silly. Wilson frowned and said, "Randall, I hope you don't say anything like that again." Courage is also a courage that a person must have. They didn't embarrass us. Even they choose patients who are more difficult and more injured. If nothing else, if we were to treat the patient with a comminuted fracture of the patella, would you be confident that they would be so perfect?"
Sheffield Downing continued: "In this case, the broken bones must be cleaned up. The knee joint must be opened. In addition to this, the knee joint needs to be fixed with steel nails. Artificial bones also need to be placed. In the future, the patient will inevitably become a cripple. ”
"Alright!" At that moment, Wilson suddenly stood up. Looking around at everyone: "Actually, you don't need to try a few times. We are all top talents of the World Society of Orthopaedic Surgeons. An operation, a patient, is basically able to make an accurate judgment before it is done. As Sheffield said. Patients with patellar fractures, if we do it. The wound will definitely be bigger and the damage will be greater. Therefore, there is no need to compete any further. We lost! There are a lot of things in TCM that can't be explained by science. But I have to say, the facts now tell us. Traditional Chinese medicine has been able to exist for so long. There is a reason for him. ”
Next, at Wilson's insistence, the patient with elbow fracture was still dealt with by Zhang Xuesheng, of course, this time Zhang Xuesheng was not alone. Rather, there was Sheffield as an assistant. The surgery was also performed in the operating room of the First Affiliated Hospital.
After accurate positioning by means of X-ray, CT and other means, the patient's elbow joint was opened by Sheffield. After the ruptured tendon has been sutured. Next, Zhang Xuesheng deliberately dripped some jade dew shengjisan made of pure elixir on the tendons. Moreover, this time, because it was an open wound, with Zhang Xuesheng's manual movements. It can be seen more intuitively that the bones are slowly moving and resetting under Zhang Xuesheng's pressure.
This not only stunned those present. Even Wilson and others, who watched through video recordings, were shocked. Wilson stood up directly, looked at Gao Shan and said, "Professor Gao, I apologize for our previous presumptuousness. TCM orthopedics is truly amazing. Your knowledge of human anatomy has far surpassed ours. ”
In Wilson's view, the technique of realigning the bones by simply pressing on the surface of the skin must be a thorough understanding of the structure of the human body.
At the same time, Wilson grabbed Gao Shan's hand and said, "Professor Gao, I sincerely ask you. I hope to be able to send four international students here to study TCM and orthopedics. How much tuition is required, you just ask. ”
Gao Shan chuckled at this moment and said, "Professor Wilson, do you know how difficult it is to learn Chinese medicine? You first need to learn Chinese well. Not only can you speak, but you must be able to reach the level of your native language. In addition to that, you need to understand what the unity of heaven and man is, what is yin and yang, the five elements, and then you need to understand Chinese medicine. By learning dialectical treatment and pulse. Finally, it can be clinically practiced. ”
This also confused Wilson. Some wondered: "Professor Gao, can't you just learn Chinese medicine orthopedics?"
Chen Guofeng next to him also chuckled and said, "I think what Mr. Wilson said is right." If Chinese medicine wants to develop, it must be subdivided into various departments like Western medicine. After all, human energy is limited. ”
Gao Shan chuckled and said, "Dean Chen, subdivision is also possible. However, the subdivision of Western medicine is also above the master's level. Do you think that if you don't learn the basic knowledge of Chinese medicine, you can just learn the bones?"
As he spoke, the whole building suddenly began to shake.
