Chapter 40: Which is better?
"What did you study in college?" Chen Xianhe asked.
"Brain and cardiology, and other subjects are generally understood." Lin Fan replied truthfully.
"When you come to the town hospital to enter the gynecology department, do you feel overkill?"
"At first, I did have this thought, and I didn't feel good, but then I thought about it, no matter where I go, as long as I do my duty as a doctor, I won't be so uncomfortable."
"Yes, you're so young, it's rare to think so open. Young people should not be impetuous, they should be down-to-earth, one step at a time, you are much better than others. Chen Xianhe said with emotion, he stayed in the hospital for twenty or thirty years, during which he watched batches of people come in the hospital, and then left, among which there is no lack of arrogant people, many people feel that they should not come to this kind of mountainous hospital, only in a big place can you show your strength, but you can't be a doctor in a small place, go to a big place, what can you do?
Even if he left the town hospital and went to a big place, it didn't necessarily mean how high those people were. Chen Xianhe is a person from the past, and he looks down on those who have a heart higher than the sky but have very poor medical skills, and he can pull Lin Fan to eat and drink at home, precisely because he thinks that Lin Fan should be the kind of down-to-earth person.
Listening to Chen Lao's emotion, the corners of Lin Fan's mouth had a bitter taste, in fact, he couldn't help but take one step at a time, if he could, he also hoped to enter the Provincial People's First Hospital for internship. It's good to be down-to-earth, but a better and higher platform can save people many years of struggle.
It's just that at this time, he didn't tell Chen Lao about his helplessness, but opened the topic and asked, "Chen Lao, what do you think of acupuncture in Chinese medicine?" ”
Chen Lao didn't answer, but asked with a smile: "Then what do you think of Chinese medicine?" ”
Lin Fan was stunned, and after thinking for a while, he replied in a deep voice: "Although I don't know much about Chinese medicine, in my eyes, the purpose of Chinese medicine and Western medicine is to save people and cure diseases, but the origin of Western medicine is relatively short, and it can spread all over the world in one or two hundred years, this is because Western medicine has a fast effect." ”
"Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to heat, and there is a kind of boiled frog in warm water, the time is relatively slow, from the inside to the outside, slowly recuperating. However, with the continuous acceleration of the pace of life, even if the effect of TCM treatment is better, people will not choose TCM, and few people have so much time to boil medicine and slowly recuperate, which should be a disadvantage of TCM. ”
"But in general, Western medicine has the benefits of Western medicine, while Chinese medicine certainly has its own characteristics, and there is no one who is good or bad, only the doctor's medical skills."
Lin Fan said from an objective point of view, although as a Chinese, he would not deliberately belittle Western medicine.
Chen Xianhe smiled, did not refute Lin Fan's words, turned around, and he suddenly looked at a photo hanging in the living room. It was a black-and-white photo, which seemed to be some age, and the portrait inside was an old man with a goatee, thin cheeks, bright eyes, and some fairy demeanor.
Lin Fan didn't ask who the person in this portrait was, but looked at the complicated look on Chen Xianhe's face at this time.
After a long time, Chen Xianhe said: "That's my father, he is a Langzhong, his father is also a Langzhong, the medical skills are not very exquisite, but as the only Langzhong in the village, he can always cure the villagers' diseases." When I was young, my father always wanted me to inherit my father's business, but at that time I was poor, I always thought that there was no interest in being a Tulang, even if I could cure the diseases of the villagers, but I couldn't fill my stomach, and then I went to learn some Western medicine, and reluctantly entered the hospital. ”
"At that time, it was very noisy, I was almost kicked out of the house by him with a flat pole, and finally my mother persuaded my father to come down, but until my father left the West, he did not forgive me, this is a hurdle. At this age, I still haven't been able to tell whether Western medicine or Chinese medicine is better, but in my father's eyes, it must be Chinese medicine. ”
"Personally, I have a personal opinion, I studied Western medicine and cured countless people's diseases, this is a fact, no one can deny it. Of course, if I had studied Chinese medicine at the beginning, I would have been able to cure other people's diseases, this is also for sure. It's just that I didn't want to learn Chinese medicine at the beginning, and now young people are even more reluctant to learn it, Western medicine is simple and easy to learn, while Chinese medicine is broad and profound, and many people prefer to choose a simpler path. ”
Chen Xianhe shook his head helplessly, drank a few glasses of wine, and opened the chatterbox, "In a few days, I will retire and prepare to open a small Chinese medicine clinic, even if I go below, I can explain to my father, otherwise I really don't have the face to see his old man." ”
Lin Fan was stunned, but he didn't expect Chen Lao's past to be like this, he didn't say anything comforting, but said with a smile: "If Chen Lao opens a small clinic, then I will go and learn Chinese medicine from Chen Lao." ”
"Haha, if you're interested, then learn, but no matter what you learn, you can't give up halfway, especially as a doctor, you have to be careful about other people's lives and deaths, and you must be cautious, you can't be that kind of quack." Chen Xianhe admonished.
"Yes." Lin Fan nodded heavily in response, "By the way, Old Chen, how much do you know about needle pricking?" ”
"I don't really know much about this, but I remember that I have a book on acupuncture, and if you want to learn acupuncture, I'll look for it." Chen Lao got up as he spoke, came to his bookshelf, searched for a long time, and finally found a yellowed book, which seemed to have been read by no one for a long time.
"Thank you, Old Chen!" Lin Fan took the book and thanked him, "Old Chen, do you know where to sell silver needles in the county?" ”
"I really don't know about this, but you go to the Wu's pharmacy next to the county No. 1 middle school and ask, maybe he has it, I have some friendship with their shopkeeper, you say my name when you ask, even if he doesn't, I guess he will find a way for you." Chen Lao replied.
"Oh!" Lin Fan nodded, he was very familiar with the Wu-style pharmacy, because he studied in the county No. 1 middle school in high school, when he got out of school, he often walked through the door of the Wu-style pharmacy, which is a shop that buys Chinese medicinal materials.
The two continued to chat for half an hour, they didn't sleep last night, and Lin Fan, who had drunk some wine just now, was a little sleepy, so he had to get up and say goodbye.
Huiying sent Lin Fan to the door, and after telling Lin Fan to come over often, she returned to the living room and said to her old man: "It's rare to see you say so much to a descendant. ”
"This baby is very real, studious, and I am also a rare offspring to see an appreciation." Old Chen sighed.
