Chapter 224: The Rise of Modern Medicine (Part I)

This is not only one of the basic thinking of the Chinese people in the information age, but also the voice of all Chinese nations, both ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign. It is very common for a person to have a serious illness and spend all his life savings, and it can be said that the law of disaster is not a one-way thing. Avoiding illness or serious illness is the pursuit of every normal person, but the probability of realizing this idea is obviously very low, and the number of people who die naturally due to aging or organ life failure has never exceeded 1% of the dead population without serious illness.

As the chairman of the Imperial National Health and Sanitation Committee, Wu Qi naturally had to strive for this goal. I have been fighting for a long time to increase life expectancy. Wu Qi's three magic weapons are the high standard requirements for environmental sanitation, food hygiene, and medical hygiene, and the innovation of guidance mechanisms. The most concerned sectors are health care knowledge promotion, pharmaceutical research and development, and medical education; These three sectors account for 80 per cent, 16 per cent and 4 per cent of government resources allocated to health, respectively.

According to the estimation of the public, in order to establish a modern medical industry system covering the whole country, the resources required are too exaggerated, and it is much easier to transform on the basis of the original traditional Chinese medicine industry. Among the three major elements, drugs, medical staff, and drugs in hardware facilities are the best things to solve, so Wu Qi did not expand the drug industry to partners, but firmly grasped it in the hands of the crossing people, which can be said to be the last killer industry in the environment without any alternative industries and competitors It is best to be in the hands of his own people.

Educational institutions that train medical staff are not expanding their enrollment on a large scale like manufacturing and commercial technical and scientific training institutions, but are conservatively adopting the traditional education model of mentoring. A teacher can train a maximum of 2 to 5 students to train qualified physicians with rich clinical experience, while those who are traditional Chinese medicine must pass the medical licensing examination, and all those who fail to pass are ordered to change careers. At most, she can only act as a nurse, and she has no right to prescribe, let alone surgery, and dentists can't do it.

The decree unanimously passed by the people immediately deprived 80% of the doctors of their qualifications to practice medicine, and those who could not memorize the "Barefoot Doctor's Handbook" compiled by Wu Qi either changed their careers, and all those who secretly practiced medicine illegally were sentenced to heavy punishments. Quacks killing people is not an empty word, in order to fundamentally eliminate unnecessary accidental casualties. Wu Qi also pushed forward a purge to eradicate criminals such as witch doctors and gods. He directly used violent means rarely used by the traversal crowd to drag a large number of murderers and fraudsters who had been engaged in superstitious activities to drag others into serious illnesses, and the serious illnesses were directly tossed to death.

From the beginning of the establishment of the empire. Life expectancy across East Asia has skyrocketed, from less than 40 to 70 years in just 20 years. Over the past 2,000 years, a curve that has slowed down to the point of almost zero slope has suddenly become infinity, and from the statistical chart it looks like a continuous up-and-down board. The volume column in the statistical time unit of each five-year cycle rises at a rate of more than 10 percent.

From a technical point of view. At the time of the establishment of the empire, the top 10 causes of death had shifted from acute and chronic infectious diseases, as well as malnutritional diseases, parasitic diseases, etc., to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and malignant tumors. After the 1950s, the "spectrum of disease" and "spectrum of death" of the empire underwent a historic turn.

In the fight against disease, vaccination has become a magic weapon to overcome the enemy. The antibiotics represented by penicillin have become the fierce enemy of bacterial diseases. Vaccines against the virus are also very powerful. The nationwide compulsory immunization of infants and young children is the result of a significant reduction in infant mortality by using high-quality and low-cost vaccines produced by the resources of the public.

Of course, the development of chemical and biological weapons to make the atomic bomb for the poor has not stopped. In the Middle Ages, when there was no basic health care system, and a small flu could kill millions of people, a 'dirty bomb' loaded with R. pestis rat fleas that had passed through the crowd was enough to kill 20 million Europeans.

Diseases caused by nutritional deficiencies, such as night blindness due to vitamin A deficiency, hypochondria due to vitamin D deficiency, beriberi due to vitamin B1 deficiency, and scurvy are no longer harmful to the people because the cause has been identified. Parasitic diseases were also once the "accomplices" of death, such as schistosomiasis, etc., once upon a time, how arrogant, and now they have fallen off the horse, and they have ended up with a "paper boat burning in the sky". A large number of whales were killed, and the fish oil was turned into therapeutic nutrients, added to milk powder and cooking oil, and flowed into the tables of the citizens of the empire, and with the development of the economy, the mass commercialization of meat, fresh fruits and vegetables, and tea also effectively curbed other types of vitamin deficiencies.

As the founder of modern medicine in the empire and an authority in many branches of medicine, Wu Qi naturally said that he was the most well-known among the people who traveled through three battles with traditional medicine doctors in 1943. revived a man whose heart had stopped; underwent a kidney transplant and saved a uremia patient; The use of a total artificial heart and an extracorporeal centrifugal pump has completely destroyed the theoretical basis of the dialectic of the five elements in traditional Chinese medicine.

The third operation was the most miraculous, Wu Qi and his team made centrifugal pumps instead of hearts and conducted experiments on 50 calves, taking out their entire hearts and replacing them with a special centrifugal pump; Finally, the doctors performed a hands-on operation on a patient. This centrifugal pump unit is a bit like a turbofan with a simple rotor structure. The device doesn't beat like a heart, and its goal is to provide "continuous blood flow" like a watering pipe in a garden. If you listen to its chest with a stethoscope, you won't hear the heartbeat. If you look at its arteries, you can't see a pulse either. If you do an ECG on it, you will see a straight line. However, when the doctors listened to his chest with a stethoscope, they could not hear the sound of a heartbeat. Some are just a slight buzzing sound. Therefore, if the traditional medical analysis method is followed, the patient has no heartbeat. Thus already dead. This is an illustration of how "the physiological system of the human body can function without a pulse."

This kind of surgery has subverted the cognitive world of almost all traditional doctors, and the traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, who have been defeated in terms of theory, empirical and operability, have no choice but to bow their heads and willingly serve as a propaganda team and barefoot doctors in the countryside to do basic health care, first aid propaganda and rebuilding for the people, and enter a medical university for new study. The tallest new buildings in several metropolises are the inpatient buildings of the downtown hospitals. The most advanced medical equipment has made many foreigners who enjoy the world's most advanced medical technology directly become egg people and black bean people (white-skinned and yellow-hearted and black-skinned and yellow-hearted).

Among the various medical machines that have been leading the world for hundreds or even thousands of years, what foreigners who have never seen the world want to get the most is the X-ray machine that can see through and the fast-acting anti-inflammatory drugs (antibiotics) that can see through the eyes, and those stethoscopes and small devices such as blood pressure monitors and mercury thermometers are widely exported. And the export of drugs does not see a trace of antibiotics. At most, it is just a little Chinese patent medicine, or it is an API with a very short shelf life.

Wu Qi provided basic drugs at a high price and provided health care guidance at a low price in order to minimize the people's dependence on drugs and put an end to the people's immunity crisis caused by the abuse of antibiotics and drugs in later generations. Protecting the traditional Chinese medicine industry as much as possible is also an alternative. It is also a good way to kill multiple birds with one stone, and the position of traditional Chinese medicine in the agricultural and medical industries is not yet likely to be replaced by industrially produced drugs.

The policy of technological blockade to do something and not to do something has always been a double standard insisted on by the traversal, as the old saying goes, an empire that does not play double standards is not a good empire, so Wu Qi did not take the lives of those foreigners who contributed nothing to the empire seriously. As for those who have made contributions, old friends and friends can be supported by a good health care team.

The bodies of those who died of hard labor such as overseas laborers and cannibal tribes were also not wasted. It was directly embalmed and sent back to the corpse warehouse of the local medical university, where it was used as teaching consumables to contribute to the medical cause of the empire. Voluntary blood donation, body donation, and organ donation were also established by Wu Qi.

In a word, Wu Qi has always been a firm believer and practitioner of the theory of inner saints and outer kings. He spared no effort to build the health system he hoped to see covering every citizen, which was also strongly supported by other people, so even wealthy people such as Liu Xin and Wang Neng, who were money fans, took out a large number of dividends and dividends every year to sponsor Wu Qi's research and development and propaganda business.

Building a new pillar of modern society from all aspects is not as simple as Qian Jin and others publishing basic mathematics books and waiting for partners to build a factory system. In the absolutely sane field of medicine, there are simply no shortcuts. Basic medicine, clinical medicine, forensic medicine, laboratory medicine, preventive medicine, health care medicine, and rehabilitation medicine are all the cornerstones of human medicine. Among them, basic medicine is Wu Qi's home field, and he almost single-handedly pioneered medical biomathematics, medical biochemistry, and medical biophysics. Human Anatomy, Medical Cell Biology. Human Physiology, Human Histology, Human Embryology, Medical Genetics, Human Immunology, Medical Parasitology, Medical Microbiology, Medical Virology, Human Pathology, Pathophysiology, Pharmacology, Medical Laboratory Zoology, Medical Psychology, Biomedical Engineering, Medical Informatics, First Aid, Nursing, New Central Principles and other disciplines, the pioneering works and papers written are simply crazy, almost the sum of the number of other crossing people, Labeled as a workaholic, he works almost 18 hours a day, and spends the most time searching for information in the secret warehouse of the traversal.

Wu Qi's first batch of students have become the ancestors of the branch of clinical medicine, unlike Wu Qi who spent all his energy on management and teaching research, his students were instilled with the view that practice and hands-on ability is medical ability at the beginning, and almost all of them focused on clinical medicine and laboratory medicine, clinical diagnosis, experimental diagnosis, imaging diagnosis + radiology diagnosis + ultrasound diagnosis + nuclear medicine diagnosis, clinical therapeutics, occupational therapy, chemotherapy, biological therapeutics, hematology, tissue and organ therapy, Dietetic Therapy, Physiotherapy, Speech Therapy, Psychotherapy, Internal Medicine, Surgery, Urology, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Pediatrics, Geriatrics, Ophthalmology, Otolaryngology, Stomatology, Infectious Diseases, Dermatology, Neurology, Psychiatry, Oncology, Emergency Medicine, Anesthesiology, Nursing, Family Medicine, Sexual Medicine, Hospice, Rehabilitation, Health Medicine, Audiology are all the main fields of his students.

Almost every student who was brought out by Wu Qi in the early stage was a national treasure-level master and authority, and those students who were fortunate enough to pass Professor Wu Qi's course but did not meet a few times in the later stage also basically became the presidents and department heads of various hospitals. (The teaching tasks of the various branches of Chenji Academy after the founding of the People's Republic of China will not be the turn of the crossing to do, and the first few batches of students who have grown up have replaced the crossing as professors, and the idle crossing has been devoted to the daily decision-making of the Senate, and there is no time for scientific research and teaching.) ）

Adhering to the principle that the medical industry is a public service industry that is not for profit, Wu Qi opened a public hospital with a large amount of state financial allocation, and at the same time introduced his most proud students to a for-profit private hospital with the best medical resources opened by his partners. The logic of this contradiction is very simple, people always benefit animals, and public hospitals with only middle-class living standards will certainly not be able to retain those best talents, and instead of wasting resources, it is better to put the best R&D and operation talents in the places where they can play the most role. Talent needs a stage, and those high-income private hospitals in the Ming Department only do those high-difficulty and high-cost large-scale surgeries and the health care private hospital business of the rich, and the wealth earned has become the goal to attract middle and low-level medical personnel.

After completing all the upstream and downstream resource development, utilization, expansion, integration, transformation, upgrading, and talent echelon construction of the medical industry, Wu Qicai began to preside over the research work of the Human Genome Project, and dumped the secular affairs of the Ministry of Health and the Imperial National Health and Sanitation Committee to other subordinates and parliamentarians, and went to the Imperial Gene Science Laboratory in Lanzhou to do genetically modified experiments.

Traditional medicine can only adapt to the productivity needs of the Middle Ages before the Industrial Revolution and even the colonial era, while modern medicine is an important prerequisite for providing stable and high-quality labor and consumers for socialized mass production. Wu Qi still received the support of Li Ji in the vote of the crossing crowd, and most of the crossing people were rational, and passed the "Modern Medical Reform Act of the Chinese Empire" with 12 votes in favor, 1 vote against and 2 abstentions.

Vigorously promote the development of modern medicine from the institutional level, and carry out a large number of fictional and conjectural parts in a series of contents such as drug and disease theory, diagnosis, treatment methods, drug production and processing, and pathological summary in the traditional Chinese medicine system. It only retains the overall view and syndrome differentiation and treatment, strips away and eliminates the content of the Five Elements Theory, transforms the method of four diagnoses and parameters, and adds a large number of modern medical instruments such as stethoscopes to assist in the fixed diagnosis process to reduce the misdiagnosis rate; At the same time, it transformed the popular science of human cognition, overturned the outdated view of the five internal organs, and established the system of modern anatomical science. A variety of treatment methods such as traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, massage, massage, cupping, and dietary therapy have been further standardized.

The attitude of abandoning its dross and taking its essence of traditional Chinese medicine has finally been recognized by the world, and the combination of Chinese and Western medicine should be the best way for traditional medicine to transition to modern medicine. After this big move, the countless stumbling blocks within the old system that could not promote medical progress were basically removed, and the way was paved for the explosion of modern medicine.
