12. Traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine

Running downstairs, Tang Yiyi sat at the table, Xu Mingtang was listening to a middle-aged woman dressed intellectually talking about the symptoms: "The eldest aunt didn't come for two months before, and then she came suddenly, and now she hasn't left for ten days." ”

"Well, I'll take a look at the pulse." Xu Mingtang's expression was as usual, but Tang Yiyi found that the time of the master's pulse was longer than that of ordinary patients.

After finishing the pulse, Xu Mingtang got the woman's consent to let Tang Yiyi get started.

Tang Yiyi thanked sweetly, put his hand on the pulse, and immediately felt the slightest change in the pulse, and there must be a reason for the illness that can make the master look at it differently.

Xu Mingtang wrote the prescription, handed it to the woman, and gave it to the woman, and then explained: "You take this medicine on time, but tomorrow you remember to go to the hospital for a gynecological examination to rule out all the possible causes." ”

After sending the patients away, Tang Yiyi asked: "Master, the aunt with irregular menstruation doesn't look special on her pulse, she should have abnormal menstruation during menopause, why do you want her to go to the hospital for examination?" ”

"Her age is a period of high incidence of cervical cancer, and this is the second time she has come to me to see that the menstrual bleeding does not stop, and it is no harm to check it."

"Will she feel that Chinese medicine is inferior to Western medicine, and in the end, she still has to rely on Western medicine."

"Hehe, what do you think of Chinese medicine and Western medicine?"

"Different systems, each with its own strengths."

"Yes, each has its own strengths. Western medicine is based on anatomy, dissecting the body so that all that can be seen exists, making each organ independent, and using medical technology to treat diseases in a targeted manner. ”

"That's what the joke says, the hand hurts, it's cut; Foot pain, chopped; Headache, also cut! One patient said with a smile.

"But Chinese medicine has always believed that the human body is a whole, and the meridians run through the whole body, and when there is a problem with an organ in the body, it must be that the balance of the body has been broken, and the lesion is the weakest link in the body."

The patient nodded in agreement.

"On the issue of treatment and nourishment, Chinese medicine pays more attention to nourishment, and even if it is treatment, it is to stimulate the body's own repair ability to slowly restore balance, so as to achieve the purpose of physical health."

"Well, that's why some people say that Western medicine is fast, and Chinese medicine is slow."

"But there is a sickness in the body, and everyone wants to get better soon. The examination methods of Western medicine are more intuitive and accurate, such as how high is high blood pressure, how many stages of diabetes are specific, and the diameter of the tumor is a few centimeters. ”

Tang Yiyi nodded and said: "Well, what Professor Huang told us is that those examination instruments are the result of scientific and technological progress, and Western medicine is directly used in medical treatment, especially many minimally invasive surgeries, which can be operated remotely through the Internet, and Chinese medicine really can't catch up." ”

"Yes, but TCM adapts to chronic diseases, and those diseases that slowly accumulate due to the wrong lifestyle can be prevented through TCM conditioning."

Tang Yiyi agrees with these points of view, doesn't she want to combine the two medicines together when she learns the combination of Chinese and Western regions?

"Yes, both Chinese and Western medicine are the crystallization of human wisdom, but have you ever found that Chinese medicine can tolerate Western medicine, but Western medicine cannot tolerate Chinese medicine." Xu Mingtang said.

"Didn't Master discover that our entire Chinese civilization is very inclusive?"

Zuo Chengjiang listened happily to the side, and said with a smile: "Yiyi, your master, as a family heirloom Chinese medicine practitioner, has such an objective evaluation of Western medicine, haven't you found that he is the most inclusive?" ”

Xu Bin pouted on the side: "I can stay at the same counter with you for so long, I am the most inclusive." ”

Xu Mingtang glared at his son, "It's not big, it's not small." ”

Tang Yiyi and Zuo Chengjiang wanted to come to Xu Mingtang's recipe today, and Zuo Chengjiang handed her a document bag, "Put the finished recipe here, and you will file it in the future." ”

"Master Zuo, don't worry, I will definitely keep it."

Tang Yiyi returned to the table with the prescription, and Xu Mingtang asked her, "Do you want to take the doctor's license next year?" ”

"Yes, next year is enough to qualify, and I don't want to miss every opportunity."

"Okay, if you have any difficulties, just tell the master."

At dinner time, Xu's wife looked at Xu Bin, who was yawning, and asked, "Why is your face so bad?" Is it bad to rest at night? ”

"No, my classmate's grandfather passed away two days ago, so I was late to help."

"It's not a matter of the past two days that you don't have energy," Xu Mingtang said, "You can't stop mourning every day, right?" ”

"Sometimes I go to play games." Xu Bin was hesitant.

"You've never played games?" Xu's wife was stunned.

"What's the game?" Xu Mingtang asked.

"Uh...... It is...... League of Legends, form a group. Xu Bin looked at his father, but his foot lightly touched Tang Yiyi under the table.

Tang Yiyi was already confused when she heard Xu Bin say that, but when he touched her, she magically understood, and hurriedly said to the master: "There is this game, and there are quite a few people who like to play." ”

Xu Mingtang took a deep look at Xu Bin: "Industry is good at diligence, ridiculous in hee, you have been a junior Chinese pharmacist for five years, enough to qualify for the Chinese pharmacist exam, sign up for the exam in the second half of this year." ”

Xu Bin struggled and said, "This year? I haven't started preparing yet, so I'm going to ...... next year."

Xu Mingtang put the bowl on the table, "Yiyi plans to take the doctor's license exam after one year of internship next year, people don't want to waste a year, do you want to wait until next year to take the exam?" There are still six months to go, which is more than enough time. ”

"......" Xu Bin opened his mouth and didn't dare to say anything more.

The family parted unhappily at the meal.
