Chapter 416: A Time to Survive
"Mayor Chen, I just want to ask one thing, old woman, is this Chinese medicine a lie? Can this Chinese medicine cure diseases? If we really can't, why do they still prescribe Chinese medicine to us, isn't this a lie? ”
An old lady with snow-white hair and a stooping body carrying a large bag of Chinese medicine and a list of medicines prescribed by the doctor asked Chen Dongnian tremblingly, her tone full of anger and despair that could not be concealed.
Her wife has advanced stomach cancer, and she has been using traditional Chinese medicine for more than a year after the operation, and she doesn't know how much money she spent, but she finally gave up. Now I suddenly heard on TV that Chinese medicine is fake and Chinese medicine cannot cure diseases, and the old lady was angry, so she came to the hospital with the Chinese medicine that her wife had not finished eating and the medicine list to buy medicine, but she didn't expect to meet the mayor here.
Faced with the old lady's question, Chen Dongnian was speechless.
Now that traditional Chinese medicine has become a sensitive topic, many scholars and experts are denouncing traditional Chinese medicine, and some radicals claim that traditional Chinese medicine is a kind of superstition like ghosts and gods, and that this kind of pseudoscience that has poisoned the Chinese people for thousands of years should be resolutely outlawed.
Some people even launched an initiative to jointly submit a letter to the central government to criticize and ban the pseudoscience of traditional Chinese medicine, and the most important thing is that there is an academician of the Academy of Sciences among these people.
This matter suddenly became bigger, and the central center could ignore the words of these experts and professors, but they had to consider the words of academicians, not to mention that he was an academician who had made outstanding contributions to China's economic construction and was named a national scholar by the national leaders.
With the support of this economic tycoon, the status of traditional Chinese medicine became embarrassing in China overnight, and on the premise that there was no qualitative definition of traditional Chinese medicine, even the provincial governor and secretary began to be vague when someone asked about traditional Chinese medicine, not to mention the mayor Chen Dongnian, and he didn't dare to answer if he was killed. After all, this is a joke on the political future.
"Chinese medicine is not a pseudoscience, Chinese medicine can cure diseases."
As Chen Dongnian was struggling to figure out how to answer this question, which used to be sparse and ordinary, but now it was extremely sharp, a cold voice came from the end of the stairs.
Chen Dongnian looked back and couldn't help but be overjoyed, this Mo Feng was too timely, if there was a person in Yinzhou who had a say in traditional Chinese medicine. It must be Mo Feng, there is no doubt about it.
With Mo Feng's current ear strength, if he wanted to listen, any wind and grass within a radius of one kilometer would not escape his ears, and when he was still on the stairs on the fourth floor, the old lady's words had already been heard in his ears.
For Chinese medicine to fall to such a point, Mo Feng felt confused in addition to sadness, but more indignation, he couldn't figure it out. At a time when many surrounding countries are desperately researching and developing traditional Chinese medicine, why does Huaxia abandon these treasures that have been handed down for thousands of years?
Mo Feng knows that this old lady's idea is not an exception, she represents the minds of countless people, Chinese people like to blindly obey, when the government's confidence in Chinese medicine has begun to waver, how can you expect the Chinese people to believe it?
For TCM. Others can be suspicious, shaken, and dismissive, but Mo Feng can't. Because he knows the magic of Chinese medicine too well.
Although Chinese medicine is very abstract and cannot be presented in front of people's eyes one by one under the shadowless lamp like Western medicine, it is undeniable that it does really exist, just like acupuncture points, and even the world's most advanced instruments cannot directly observe it. But can you say it doesn't exist?
Chinese medicine must not be annihilated like this, and an irresistible thought suddenly surged in Mo Feng's heart: I want to save Chinese medicine.
"Doctor Mo, it's great that you're here!" Chen Dongnian, who didn't know how to get out, hurriedly took two steps forward and stretched out his hand to Mo Feng, "You are really timely rain, I was about to send someone to invite you!" ”
"It's been a bit of a personal matter in the past two days. No, I'm here just after I'm done! After holding Chen Dongnian's hand and greeting him, Mo Feng changed the topic, "Mayor Chen, how is the condition of the injured?" ”
Hearing Mo Feng mention his most troublesome thing, Chen Dongnian's face darkened, he shook his head and sighed: "Alas, it's not too good!" ”
Seeing that Chen Dongnian's mood was not high, and besides, saving lives was like fighting a fire, Mo Feng didn't have the time and mood to accompany Chen Dongnian, so he said to Chen Dongnian: "Mayor Chen, if you don't get busy first, I'll go and see the situation!" ”
"I'll go with you, now except for this matter, nothing else is a matter, besides, I won't be able to get in without me for fear of you!" Chen Dongnian, who originally wanted to leave, said with a wry smile, he had seen the magic of Mo Feng's medical skills with his own eyes, and when he saw Mo Feng coming, a glimmer of hope rose in his heart, and Mo Feng might have a way to deal with these injured people.
For the current Chen Dongnian, what he is most concerned about is the safety of these twelve people, in Huaxia Kingdom, human life is the red line, no matter how serious the accident is, if there are no deaths, it will not be a matter, but if there is a human life, the incident will escalate immediately, and he will not give up until he finds out.
Therefore, if these people have an accident, Chen Dongnian is definitely responsible for leadership, even if he is not held accountable, but if he wants to go further, it will be difficult to ascend to the sky, which is also the reason why Chen Dongnian is in the hospital as the head of a city, as for the uproar outside about the ban on traditional Chinese medicine, Chen Dongnian is too lazy to worry about it, anyway, it has nothing to do with him.
The situation is worse than you think! When Mo Feng, who was wearing protective clothing, saw the twelve injured people in the intensive care unit, his brows couldn't help frowning, things were a bit tricky!
Among the twelve people injured in the cosmetic incident, the two most seriously ill are already in a state of shock, liver and kidney failure, the doctor has been critically ill, and now they are only on life support, and the cart is ready to be pushed to the morgue at any time.
The other five are also very serious, all of them have entered the stage of sepsis, and the common symptoms are chills, high fever, rash, hepatosplenomegaly, and sometimes lucid and sometimes confused......
The symptoms of these five people were all those experienced by the two people who were critically ill two days ago, and it is inferred that if nothing else, these five people will follow in the footsteps of those two people in two days.
The pathogenesis of sepsis has long been clear in modern medicine, and it is nothing more than a systemic acute disease caused by infection by Staphylococcus aureus, gram-negative bacilli, fungi and enterococci, which grow and multiply through blood circulation and produce toxins.
The general treatment of sepsis is anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antipyretic and analgesic, energetic mixture, and correction of water and electrolyte balance.
But what is frightening is that the bacteria that cause sepsis seem to have mutated, whether it is anti-inflammatory, antibacterial or antipyretic, no means have any effect, and all medical staff are confused, what is going on?
