At the junction of the sleeper compartment of the train, Ling Feng had a cigarette in his mouth and stood by the door looking at the night outside the train.

&Dang", "Bang", the train rushed forward.

Ling Feng's father, Ling Hanyu, had a tumor in his stomach, and it was impossible to know whether it was benign or malignant, and he had to do an excision operation before the type of tumor could be detected. After his uncle Ling Yongjian learned about this, he did not agree to have surgery in Huaihe and insisted on going to Beijing for surgery. I went to Beijing two weeks ago, and after the laboratory test, the attending doctor thought that Ling Hanyu's current physical condition was not suitable for surgery, and he must do a good job of physical recuperation, otherwise the operation would be extremely risky. For this reason, the family could only come back and wait for Ling Hanyu to recuperate.

This is the second time the family has gone to Beijing.

Ling Feng's sister Ling Xin still stayed at home with her new-moon child and came to Beijing after the surgery date was confirmed.

Before, Ling Feng still didn't understand his uncle Ling Yongjian's insistence on going to Beijing for surgery, but now he can only be sincerely glad that if he had operated directly in Huaihe two weeks ago, the consequences would be really unimaginable.

Thinking of this, Ling Feng felt a little sad.

His family conditions are acceptable, so he can barely afford Beijing's medical expenses of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, and if he is an ordinary family, I am afraid that he can only seek medical treatment and surgery locally, and to be honest, at present, the current level of medical care in cities below the third tier in the country is in danger, and this time he really has a personal experience.

Of course, it is not that the medical level of big cities is necessarily higher than that of other cities, but the average quality of medical staff is definitely much higher, and it is certainly difficult for the vast majority of top medical talents to go to small cities in the third and fourth tiers, which creates a huge geographical gap, and this gap will become wider and wider with the development of the economy.

Of course, the decline of traditional Chinese medicine is also a reason for this result.

When it comes to traditional Chinese medicine, Ling Feng still has the right to speak.

In the two months that he followed Li Zhantian to practice martial arts, Li Zhantian also taught Ling Feng some medical techniques, but the more he studied deeply, the more Ling Feng felt that Chinese medicine was broad and profound. No matter how talented Ling Feng is, in just a few months, he can only be called a little superficial, and what Ling Feng has mastered is only many advanced theories in traditional Chinese medicine, and the real practice is almost zero, of course, the treatment of Zhou Zihan in the underground pyramid of Jiuzhaigou is completely Ling Feng's first practice.

In a word, Ling Feng's current medical skills are still extremely high-handed.

Therefore, although he really wanted to alleviate his father's pain, he could only watch anxiously from the sidelines.

A very important reason for the decline of traditional Chinese medicine is that it is broad and profound.

In today's society, the pace is getting faster and faster, and people are becoming more and more eager for quick success.

Officials need to make political achievements during their tenure, so they do mostly short-term projects, and for those long-term projects that need to lay the foundation, there is absolutely little interest, one of the most significant examples is Chinese football; People like to make quick money, so there are fewer and fewer people doing business, and more people are investing in real estate, or speculating in stocks and futures, so now China's housing prices are so high that ordinary people can't afford to live at all, and these are just some low value-added investments, or even no value-added investments.

Traditional Chinese medicine covers all aspects of medicine, so there is no division of Chinese medicine, so Chinese medicine often needs ten years, or even decades of comprehensive learning, in order to be called an entry, which is obviously not in line with the current values, who wants to study and specialize in a discipline for decades, and this discipline can not predict its effectiveness?

Western medicine is finely divided into countless fine disciplines, such as internal medicine, surgery, dentistry, orthopedics, etc., a person only needs to learn one is enough, which is just like the industrial division during the industrial revolution, which is obviously more in line with the living habits and values of modern people.

As a result, more and more people are studying Western medicine and fewer and fewer people are learning Chinese medicine. The overall quality of TCM began to decline significantly, and more quacks appeared, which formed a vicious circle in which the level of TCM became worse and worse, and people became more and more distrustful of TCM.

To become a qualified TCM practitioner, you need to master all aspects of medicine, without a certain talent, without strong perseverance, it is impossible to really become a teacher, which rejects most people on the threshold. However, the overall quality of people who study Chinese medicine is declining, which has caused the overall decline of Chinese medicine.

But to say that Chinese medicine is quack, and Chinese medicine is just pseudoscience, Ling Feng will never agree with it, but he also knows very well that the decline of Chinese medicine is an unstoppable trend, which is the real sadness.

When did the breadth and profundity become the cause of the decline?

Ling Feng threw the cigarette butt into the bathroom, sighed, and turned to walk into the carriage.
