Chapter 1098: Incomprehensible
Different degrees of burns, in fact, the treatment countermeasures are a little different. Minor burns are nothing to worry about, but a slightly more severe one involves nerve endings exposed to air, and many times, it is really sloppy.
When Yang Fan encounters a burn case, he will take out a light powder blood exhaustion ointment with a slight difference in composition according to the situation. The main ingredients are the same, but add a little other ingredients, or fine-tune the proportion of the original herbs. The final drug may achieve a more appropriate therapeutic effect on targeted skin lesions.
But to put it simply, what Yang Fan can do is here.
Yang Fan belongs to knowing it, but he doesn't know why. knows the efficacy of light powder blood exhaustion ointment, but simply put, Yang Fan actually has limited knowledge of why light powder blood exhaustion cream can have such a degree of efficacy.
This is not Yang Fan's personal problem, to put it simply, there are similar situations in traditional Chinese medicine.
In the final analysis, many theories of Chinese medicine are indeed a little too old.
Oldness is not necessarily bad, but in many cases, it is inevitable that there will be a situation that is out of touch with the times.
How did the prescription of Chinese medicine come about? In the final analysis, it is a matter of many years of trying.
After Shennong tasted the herbs, the divine doctors of the past dynasties tried their best to summarize and determine the medicinal properties of these medicinal materials that are currently known. Specifically, which medicinal materials are put together, what kind of processing methods have been experienced, and what kind of diseases have the effect of curing.
All these details are also tried.
But the foundation of Chinese medicine is at the level of practice. At the cellular level, the theories of TCM are actually relatively lacking.
That's right, using various more mysterious theories of traditional Chinese medicine, including the five elements, has indeed solved a lot of medical problems. In fact, even in the current era, these theories of Chinese medicine are not completely useless.
But in simple terms, the so-called Five Elements Theory. In fact, in many cases, it is possible to make a more complete explanation through more advanced scientific theories.
It's not that Chinese medicine can't be done, Yang Fan just studied Chinese medicine, and Chinese medicine is Yang Fan's lifelong pursuit. Who dares to say that Chinese medicine is not good, Yang Fan has to fight with him.
But even Yang Fan has to admit that some theories of traditional Chinese medicine are indeed a little out of touch with the times.
It's not that these founders of TCM theory can't do it, in the final analysis, the formation of TCM theory was thousands of years ago.
For thousands of years, China's medical level is actually ahead of the world.
But at the end of the day, the world has not invented a microscope. TCM can only develop theories in the macroscopic field. Under such circumstances, the Chinese people are proud to be able to develop a set of mature Chinese medicine theories that can explain most of the conditions of the body.
In fact, in fact, three hundred years ago, Chinese medicine was still at the peak of the world.
However, from the Ming Dynasty onwards, the Qing Dynasty achieved extreme seclusion and seclusion, resulting in little progress in the field of Chinese science for hundreds of years.
At a time when Western medicine, which was originally at a very low level abroad, began to develop rapidly because science entered the microscopic field. However, due to the special environment, Chinese medicine missed such an opportunity.
But how can the results of such a political mistake be blamed entirely on Chinese medicine?
And the reality is that medicine is such a thing. Most of the time, it knows no borders.
Foreign scientists invented the microscope, but in the end, the inventor also has a nationality.
The Dutch invented the microscope, and all Western medicine in the world is not used?
Under such a premise, why can't TCM borrow the scientific research results of other countries? Bringing TCM into the microcosm?
Therefore, the development of traditional Chinese medicine really needs to be viewed from the perspective of development. Traditional Chinese medicine has a lot of advantages, so it is worth keeping. But at the same time, some of the more backward theories of Chinese medicine should actually be identified by themselves.
But in reality, this is the case. In fact, the acceptance of many scientific theories by the older generation of Chinese medicine is indeed a little slower.
Sometimes you can't blame all these people, the rise of China has gone through many detours. There was a time when even being literate was a sin.
The presence of doctors is still necessary, because the management pays more attention to their own physical health. But to put it simply, if you are a healer, you don't have to learn basic cultural knowledge. How much can I learn by relying only on Master's words and deeds?
At the worst level, he was an apprentice, but he was barely literate. A medical classic is placed in front of you, you can't read it, how can you talk about the development of Chinese medicine?
In fact, the oldest people in the medical profession today are all from that era.
Such a group of people has become the oldest group of people in the medical circle. With such an age, the ability to get in touch with new things is indeed much worse.
But such a mistake is not easy for them to admit. I'm the Taishan Beidou of the medical world, how could I be wrong?
Therefore, while not accepting high-tech theories, these people are still stubborn. "The things of the ancestors must be passed on intact, and whoever dares to look down on the things of the ancestors is disrespectful!"
Some of the older generation of doctors don't even do their normal work. Running around every day accusing this and blaming that.
However, some of these people are really not without contribution to the Chinese medicine community. Many of the backbones of the medical profession are actually their juniors. In such a situation, of course, it is not good to oppose the theories of these predecessors.
The end result is that in fact, these TCM practitioners under the age of 50 more or less feel that it is time to keep pace with the times. However, most of these people are not able to make such a notice directly.
The older generation is not all stubborn. But it is true that there are inevitably some people who are so stubborn. Even deep down, he felt that he might be wrong. But we must also keep making mistakes again and again.
As I said before, foreign countries are thinking about scandalizing China all the time.
In foreign countries, people are divided into five classes, white, black, brown, yellow, and finally Chinese.
Huaxia has never had the problem of racial discrimination, and the so-called regional blackness is only a few low-quality people with limited IQ who will make such a choice.
However, foreign countries shout every day that they cannot be discriminated against. In reality, discrimination has been taken to the extreme. It has achieved a degree that is difficult for Chinese people to understand.
