Chapter 168: Surgery (3)
Is Hua Tuo a Chinese medicine or a Western medicine? Yimei's argument is: "Hua Tuo is both Chinese medicine and Western medicine, but he is more of the originator of modern medicine; He scraped Guan Yu's bones and removed curare poison using surgery, which could diagnose the tumor in Cao Cao's brain and was a pioneer in imaging! ”
Liu Min seems to agree with Yimei's point of view, but he also has his own opinion: medicine is not a literary issue, so there is no point in writing to fight to the death.
The key is what kind of countermeasures you will find to solve the disease, and who can lower blood sugar is the ability; It is the truth that the tumor can be removed.
So, everyone wants to know what blood sugar is? What is a tumor? There are many laboratories in the world, there are many hospitals and institutes; They are looking for answers to these questions.
And most of the workers are not doctors, they are researchers, they are scientists.
CT is actually a combination of computer and X-ray imaging technology, and B-ultrasound is actually a sonar system; Antibiotics are designed and synthesized by chemists, and all articles in medical journals must be statistically approved, which is again the work of mathematicians.
Modern medicine is no longer a separate discipline, at least we can see that his way of thinking and acting is very similar to that of natural science.
Liu Min did not dare to define Western medicine as modern medicine, but the exact definition of Chinese medicine is "traditional Chinese medicine".
Then Liu Min used the scalpel in his hand to relieve the pain of the patient and expel the disease; It is okay to say that he followed the behavior of the barber in medieval Europe, and it is not bad to say that he inherited Hua Tuo's will.
If Liu Min can travel back to Hua Tuo's era, he will be able to learn some anesthesia from the master; Craniotomy is performed when you can see a tumor in someone's brain with your eyes.
Hua Tuo's greatness lies in the fact that he can represent the highest level of medicine at the level of science and technology at that time, so he was the representative of "modern medicine" thousands of years ago.
Westerners also have their traditional medicine, and Socrates is the Hua Tuo among foreigners; He used mercury to treat syphilis lesions on his body.
Liu Min would not laugh at Socrates for being more ignorant than Huatuo, because science was barren in those days; The foreigner who poisoned himself with mercury was as great as the Shennong clan in China.
It's just that Socrates, like Shennong, doesn't understand science; Or maybe there was no science to make him understand at the time.
However, in the eyes of later generations, Hua Tuo was an old Chinese medicine doctor; But in Hua Tuo's time, he was a great doctor in Huaxia, and he could debone Guan Yu and cut poison; planned to open Cao Cao's craniotomy to remove the tumor, but the brutal Cao Cao actually killed him.
The quarrel between traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine has been quarreling for more than 100 years, and many elites during the rule of the Beiyang warlords proposed to abolish traditional Chinese medicine.
The division of medicine into traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine is actually not scientific, which is caused by Chinese culture and is the embodiment of Chinese people's conservatism and arrogance.
The international division of medicine is modern medicine and traditional alternative medicine, and what we often call Western medicine is actually called modern medicine; Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is often referred to as herbal acupuncture, which is called alternative medicine, and alternative medicine also includes traditional medicine from many other countries.
The traditional medicine of various countries is the medical common sense summed up by the people of all countries in the long-term struggle with nature, which contains the crystallization of human experience, cultural factors, and many conjectures.
Modern medicine has no borders, and many great contributions in modern medicine have been made by Chinese people; Therefore, it is unscientific and unfair to call modern medicine Western medicine.
However, traditional Chinese medicine has entered a blind spot in China, forcibly distinguishing traditional Chinese medicine from modern medicine and even opposing it from modern medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine is a holistic treatment, Western medicine is a headache doctor, and foot pain is a foot pain; It all seems to be one-sided......
Liu Min was thinking about the dispute between Chinese and Western medicine, and saw that Hongyun, Lu Xing, Lan Mei, and Bai Xue had already carried Zheng Shuang over and put him on the operating table.
Zheng Shuang came to his senses after being placed on the operating table, and he saw Liu Min walking "fully armed" and standing still; I couldn't help but ask: "You are the young general who looks very handsome!" ”
Liu Min heard Zheng Shuang say this, nodded and smiled slightly; There was a look of relief in his eyes and he said, "Brother Zheng is not wrong, the little girl is the young general you and Qin Jian Zheng saw when they walked in!" ”
"Major General, you are a woman!" Zheng Shuang said in surprise.
Liu Min nodded again. Zheng Shuang stared at her in disbelief and chattered, "Why are you dressed like this and standing in front of the last general!" ”
After a pause, he cheered up his spirits and said: "Zheng Shuang remembered that he and Wuding and Wang Xiang guarded Wei Baimao, Ma Duyan, and Wu Bulun, and the three of them were locked in the cell, and the three of us chatted nonsense outside; An Xinglong and Yang Baras came with dozens of soldiers! ”
Liu Min picked up Zheng Shuang's words and said: "An Xinglong and Yang Baras came to rob Wei Baimao and the three of them with dozens of soldiers, and Brother Zheng Shuang, Wu Ding, and Wang Xiang immediately fought with them, didn't they?" ”
"yes!" Zheng Shuang said a little discouraged: "It's a pity that the three of us are alone, surrounded by An Xinglong and Yang Baras; But we also killed several of them, and then I, Wei Baimao, snatched a machete and cut off one of Mojiang's arms, and Mojiang passed out! ”
Liu Min picked up Zheng Shuang's words: "Didn't Brother Zheng ask why the little girl was standing in front of you?" I'm going to give you a broken arm!" ”
"Is this true? Major General, you have the ability to do this! Zheng Shuang wanted to sit up, but Liu Min motioned for him to lie down and not move.
Zheng Shuang continued to lie down, and Liu Minwan smiled and said, "The little girl knows how to be a witch doctor, and she can give Brother Zheng's arm a call!" ”
Liu Min said and pointed to Wang Xiang, who was still in a coma lying not far away, and said: "Brother Wang Xiang's stomach was poked with a javelin by Wei Baimao's person, and after looking at it, the saber intestines also flowed out; Minzi had already dealt with him just now, and Brother Zheng's injuries were much lighter than Wang Xiang's; Rest assured, Toshiko will be able to give you a chance to reconnect your broken arm! ”
Zheng Shuang's eyes were full of tears, and he couldn't help asking, "Brother Wuding, is he going?" ”
"No! Brother Wuding's skull was injured, and Toshiko had already injected him with injections and was drunk! Liu Min said solemnly: "After Minzi recovers Brother Zheng's arm, he will open the head of Brother Wuding, and he will be as safe as Brother Zheng!" ”
After Liu Min said these words, he paused and said: "Minzi not only wants to save Brother Zheng, Brother Wang, and Brother Wu Wu, but also Guo Yuquan, Jiang Mengjun, and Wang Renqing, who are against you!" ”
"Major General, you have to revive our enemy!" Zheng Shuang asked unreasonably, and without waiting for Liu Min to answer, he heard Zhang Jing's voice outside the door: "Little fairy sister, Zhang Jing and Gongzijian are back from Wei Baimao's concubine!" What a harvest for both of us! ”。
Zhang Jing paused as he spoke, and said, "We were going to give the fairy sister the good news in person, but I heard Grandpa Liang Ding say that you are busy inside; Let's give you good news first! ”
Liu Min heard Zhang Jing say this, and excitedly walked a few steps to the door, and said to Zhang Jing and Gongzi through the crack in the door: "Gongmu Wei and Brother Zhang Jing are doing a good job, you can't come in, Minzi is operating on Wang Xiang, Zheng Shuang, and Wuding inside, Wang Xiang's intestines have been sent into the abdominal cavity to serve as a coma, and then Zheng Shuang's broken arm will be picked up; Stay out and wait for the good news......"
