Chapter 4 West for China
Sun Tao snorted: "The mouth of learning Chinese medicine is amazing!" He walked out quickly. Jiang Feng also walked out with a gloomy face.
Chen Tianming looked at Zuo Li and smiled faintly: "It's good to have confidence, and I hope that the efficacy of your medical treatment is also good." With that, he stepped out of the elevator door.
Ding Dong, the elevator door slowly closed, and what remained in Zuo Li's eyes was Chen Tianming's pretty back.
There were other doctors in the elevator, but none of them interjected, watching as if they were lively.
When they arrived at the floor of the Chinese medicine department, Zuo Li followed Chang Jianguo out of the elevator.
Chang Jianguo looked back at the elevator door closed, then sighed, and said to Zuo Li: "Xiao Zuo, what you just said is right, but the current situation of Chinese medicine is like this." In a tertiary hospital like ours, Chinese medicine is a marginalized department, and we can only swallow our anger. You are young and vigorous, and you are happy to talk about it, but this is not good for your future, if you still want to improve, you can only be a man with your tail between your legs. It is necessary to consider not only the pleasure of the mouth, but also the impact on our TCM. - Of course, I personally fully agree with you. β
Chang Jianguo was a little strange that Zuo Li was not calm, he didn't agree with Zuo Li being so straightforward with the three directors. But he also agreed with his statement, so as not to be too his first day on the job.
Zuo Li said: "It's because they are too aggressive, and the leader should have the bearing of a leader, and it is too much to hurt people by talking like this." β
Chang Jianguo sighed, thinking about it, he was too obedient, as the so-called people are good at being bullied, and horses are good at being ridden. I don't think it's anything, and I can't stand it in the eyes of a newborn calf like Zuo Li.
Chang Jianguo said: "Jiang Feng and Sun Tao are both studying Western medicine, they don't understand Chinese medicine, and it's understandable to say strange things, I don't understand, of course I talk nonsense." But Chen Tianming shouldn't be, although she herself is a doctor in the United States who studied Western medicine, but she was born in a family of traditional Chinese medicine, her father is a famous old Chinese medicine doctor in the country, she says this about Chinese medicine, it is simply incomprehensible. β
Zuo Li was very curious: "Who is his father?" β
Chang Jianguo did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically: "Recently, there is something that has been boiling in the Chinese medicine community across the country, that is, the National Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine has launched an activity of 'National List of 100 Old Chinese Medicine Doctors', have you heard of it?" β
Zuo Li smiled and nodded.
Chang Jianguo didn't notice that his smile was a little special, and continued: "The Chinese Medicine Association divides the quota to various provinces and cities, and there is only one quota in our city, and there is only one quota in our city, and Chen Tianming's father lost to Yang Tianbao, a national famous doctor, by one vote. Now you know who her dad is, right? β
"Chen Changyu?" Zuo Li blurted out, "Director Chen's father turned out to be Chen Changyu, a famous old Chinese medicine doctor in the country?" β
"Yes,ββ what, do you know Chen Changyu?"
"Well, he is a good friend of my master, and he has taken me to visit him many times, and I have received his guidance. I only heard that he had a daughter who studied abroad, but I didn't expect it to be Director Chen. β
"Your master and Chen Changyu are good friends? Oops, such a cow? Who is your master? It can't be Yang Tianbao, right? β
"Well, my master is Yang Tianbao, and I have been studying Chinese medicine with him since I was a child."
Chang Jianguo was surprised and delighted, took half a step back, looked Zuo Li up and down, and said, "It turns out that you are Teacher Yang's tall feet, amazing!" Then our TCM department can also harden the waist plate now, haha! β
Zuo Li's expression was a little frustrated: "However, my master doesn't recognize me anymore." He said that I had deviated from the norm and kicked me out of the school...... but he would always be my master! β
Chang Jianguo immediately asked with concern, "What's wrong?" Did you master and apprentice fall out? β
"I advocate the use of modern medical testing methods to assist in the differentiation and treatment of Chinese medicine, and my master said that Chinese medicine is Chinese medicine, and I can't transfer the Western medicine to it. I didn't agree, so he kicked me out of the master's door, I always wanted to go back to the master's door, but my master ignored me, alas! β
"I see! Your master is too old-fashioned, which hospital's TCM department doesn't use B-ultrasound, X-ray, blood test, urine test and other foreign gadgets now? Moreover, these means of testing are the spirit, and there is no way to accept it. Your master adheres to pure Chinese medicine, this is worthy of praise, but, alas, it is estimated that it will not work. I also think that your idea of integrating traditional Chinese and Western medicine is correct, and even the old people asked for 'Western learning' back then, which is also talking about the integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine. But you're old and stubborn, so you have to take your time with this kind of stubborn old man. β
Zuo Li shook his head and said: "I'm not talking about the combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, this term is not appropriate. Because traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine are two completely different sets of medical systems, they cannot be combined, and forced integration will only cause confusion in the theoretical system of traditional Chinese medicine. Instead, some testing methods of Western medicine should be used to help Chinese medicine improve the accuracy of syndrome differentiation and treatment. Therefore, 'Western for Chinese use' may be more accurate than 'integrated Chinese and Western medicine'. β
As soon as he said this, Zuo Li's mobile phone rang. When I took it out, it was my sister Yang Qiong's phone.
Chang Jianguo said: "You answer the phone, come to the office after answering." β
Zuo Li hung up the phone and said, "It's okay, I'll give her back when I'm free." β
Chang Jianguo nodded approvingly, took Zuo Li into the office, introduced Zuo Li to the other doctors and nurses in the department, and took him to the wards.
It's morning, and more than half of the patients in the ward are on infusions. ββThe treatment method of using Western medicine infusion in the Chinese medicine department does not have any sense of disobedience to Zuo Li. He originally advocated that Western medicine should be used in Chinese medicine, and Chinese medicine can use the high-tech diagnosis and treatment methods of Western medicine, including infusion, direct intravenous administration, which is faster and better absorbed than oral administration, especially for critically ill patients.
During the ward rounds, I heard several patients thank Chang Jianguo, saying that his massage is very effective, and one of the old men said that he has eaten a lot of Western medicine for his cold waist but does not use it, he is always sore, and he can't eat hard. Relying on Chang Jianguo's traditional Chinese medicine massage and acupuncture, the effect is remarkable, and it is almost better.
Zuo Li saw that all the beds were full of patients, and the aisles were all overbed, and said to Chang Jianguo: "The three of them should come to our TCM ward to see, are the patients voluntarily coming to find TCM treatment?" Is it deceived or is it really curative? β
Chang Jianguo chuckled: "Do you think they haven't come to the TCM ward?" Absolutely. I often come here when I need a consultation, and I know this, but they just turn a blind eye and have to say strange things with their mouths open, what can they do. β
Back at the doctor's office, Chang Jianguo told Zuo Li that on the first day of work, the main thing was to familiarize himself with the situation, and from the second day, he would officially sit on duty, manage the bed and outpatient clinic.
