Chapter 794: The Difference in Attitudes to Practicing Medicine
The plague needle method does not cure the plague, but it has a healing effect. Especially before the plague is completely gone, the plague acupuncture method that can relieve the symptoms and prolong life for several months is already the best effect. Before the plague disappeared completely, the plague acupuncture method was once widely spread in TCM circles.
Therefore, from the very beginning, this plague needle method was not the only method of the Shen family.
The plague needle method has a negative effect. The most serious is that it can destroy men's fertility. In the period of plague abuse, even his life could not be saved. The negative effects of such a level, even if you don't want to, you can only bear it in order to survive.
But when the plague is gone, and the plague needle method has no effect on other diseases. In such a situation, this treatment gradually became extinct. It's just that in the end, if the plague needle method is not considered to be the effect of treatment, it still has the effect of harming others. Therefore, this method has been passed down by some people with improper intentions.
And as long as someone is still using this plague needle method to harm others, they are decent doctors, and there is still a need to study this plague needle method. It's not about giving back to the other, but at least to find a cure. At least when encountering patients who have been mutilated by the plague needle method, there is a way to treat such a problem.
The plague is never a joke. Even if the plague needle method cannot cure the plague, as long as it can indeed alleviate the plague, it can prove that this is already a very high-end treatment.
The vast majority of healers, on the one hand, are incapable of exercising it, and on the other hand, the masters, who are his guides, will not easily reveal a means of mutilating patients.
But to put it simply, TCM doctors who are above the level of the elderly are generally recognizable.
Medical poison is not separated, but refers more to poison. Here at the poisoner, acupuncture is often not practiced in depth.
Therefore, acupuncture is more of a means of a decent doctor. Decent physicians, on the other hand, are bound by medical ethics and are inherently very reluctant to use methods such as the plague needle method.
After all, although this plague needle method is already a very advanced method, it is actually the grade of the old man. It's that Shen Xiu wants to harm people, but he can't actually find a harmful medical technique and acupuncture method below the legendary level or above the old age.
The plague needle method is already the rarest and most difficult one. But in fact, it is not the only one of the Shen family, and there are many other doctors above the level of the elder who know this method.
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to use it directly on Wang Chengzhou. Shen Xiu also used some ideas to hide the means of the plague needle method to the greatest extent.
The first point is to break it into parts.
A set of acupuncture methods can actually be divided into several small parts.
The first step is to use the acupuncture method to open the acupoints, and pull the body's qi and blood to the corresponding position according to the needs. Acupuncture opening is a necessary precursor to some acupuncture techniques, and without this step, the subsequent movements will be more difficult.
But in fact, Shen Xiu treated the symptoms of qi and blood deficiency on Wang Chengzhou's body, and he had already used the acupuncture method to open the acupoints. So Shen Xiu didn't need to do it again, and Yang Fan didn't need to point it out again.
Here, opening acupoints must be the first step, but it is hidden by Shen Xiu in the normal treatment process.
And the next few separate processes, in fact, the order is not completely unchangeable.
The principle of acupuncture is very mysterious, especially the more advanced the means, the more so. Old-level doctors have rarely been exposed to any low-end medical skills. Most of the time, they are exposed to difficult medical skills that are difficult for ordinary Chinese medicine practitioners to achieve.
Of course, the plague needle method is within this category.
However, the acupuncture techniques above the level of the elderly are often very mysterious. The specific order is often very accurate. Adjusting the order may have a different effect.
And this order is actually passed down by thousands of years of doctors.
It is actually very difficult to make any big breakthroughs in Chinese medicine. In fact, whether it is Western medicine or Chinese medicine, it takes time and time again to try again and again before there can be new discoveries.
Western medicine is very simple, such as cancer. The idea of Western medicine is that where there is no circumcision. But in a nutshell, before the process of forming the now relatively mature theory of cancer surgery. Western medicine has made too many attempts without any theory at all, and has come up with a relatively mature set of theories.
Such a set of theories, if you really want to calculate it, will indeed benefit many subsequent cancer patients. But in this process of forming a theory in the middle, it is indeed somewhat barbaric.
But Western medicine doesn't matter, because cancer is a terminal disease, and cancer is a disease that will die. Under the guise of medical research, there are too many people who have no hope, and finally decided to fight and are willing to let Western medicine operate on him.
And anyway, these people have signed a disclaimer, and of course, Western medicine here has unscrupulously begun to try to cut off half of a person's liver or even a whole liver, can people continue to live?
Yang Fan is not particularly reluctant to this method of Western medicine, in the final analysis, although it is a little bloody, but the method of Western medicine does solve some medical problems. The predecessors fought for their fate, but the descendants had an effective treatment. In itself, there's nothing wrong with that.
But when you think about the progress of Western medicine, it is actually piled up with human life. Every time he thought of this, Yang Fan couldn't help but feel uncomfortable here.
Medical advances, such investment is understandable. However, in the case of Chinese medicine, the situation is already a little different.
In the process of confirming that the patient is cancer, the location of the cancer has been confirmed through high-tech examination methods. It's not 100% accurate, but the general location can be determined.
In this case, after the incision, cut what is wrong, and then stitch it up. Whether it's life or death, we'll see later.
But in Chinese medicine, it's not so simple for you to make progress with human life.
Although Hua Tuo studied hemp boiling powder here, there was an operation of scraping bones to cure poison. But to put it simply, our Chinese medicine is still quite a gentle method on the whole. Rarely does it involve surgery.
In this case, the same liver cancer, Western medicine can directly cut into it and try it casually. However, in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, even if you want to develop a practical and effective method for cancer research, you must have to combine medicine with acupuncture and other methods.
