Chapter 1027 - Pulse Pregnancy Test

When Zhang Chenglin entered the CT room, Lin Xiao and Han Ya were waiting outside and did not follow up. http:///

"How long does it take to do a CT?" Han Ya asked.

"It's hard to say, it's not good to say, ranging from minutes to ten minutes, because the number of rows of the device is different, the processing speed is also different, the higher the number of rows, the faster the processing speed, the shorter the time, just like the current computer CPU, there are single-core, dual-core, four-core or even eight-core or something." Lin Xiao replied, "But generally speaking, about a quarter of an hour is enough, especially in the case of the Military General Hospital, where the technology is mature and the equipment is good, so it shouldn't take long." ”

However, it turns out that Lin Xiao also had the wrong time.

Waiting for Zhang Chenglin to go in for a while, at least half an hour, and he hadn't seen anyone come out, which couldn't help but make Han Ya feel a little suspicious.

But fortunately, the two of them don't have nothing to do outside, at least they can use their hands to read the news and gossip on the Internet, but it's not boring, the most critical problem is that although they came to the hospital, they didn't have to worry, so they were naturally more relaxed.

If there are patients in the family, when they come to the Military General Hospital, they will definitely be sad and miserable, and they will not be in any mood.

"Hey, Lin Xiao, if you simply use the method of taking the pulse, can you detect whether the baby in the pregnant woman's body is male or female?" Han Ya watched the news for a while, and then asked Lin Xiao with some curiosity.

"What?" When Lin Xiao heard this, he was stunned for a moment, "This question, it seems to be a forbidden area, right?" According to the above requirements, as a medical professional, it is not possible to disclose the sex of the fetus to pregnant women and their families, which is a matter of professional ethics and is also subject to legal constraints. ”

"It's just to ask if you can identify it, and it has nothing to do with professional ethics and the law." Han Ya rolled her eyes and said.

"This, I don't know." Lin Xiao thought for a moment, shook his head and said.

"You don't know? What kind of answer is that, huh? When Han Ya heard this, she couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Okay is okay, no is no, I don't know what the answer is?" ”

"How do I know if I can get something I can do without trying it?" Lin Xiao replied as a matter of course, "Although I claim to be a miracle doctor, I have been in contact with incurable diseases or something before, and I really haven't given a pulse to a pregnant woman, so naturally I don't know about this situation." But how did you come up with this problem? ”

"Look at this, it's very hot on the Internet now, and it's about the pregnancy test." Han Ya handed her hand to Lin Xiao and asked him to watch the news above.

Lin Xiao glanced at it twice, and sure enough, there was really such a thing.

The cause of this incident was that a Western doctor Weibo V issued a post questioning the Chinese medicine pulse can be called pregnant and even men and women, which attracted crowds of onlookers, and later the Weibo issued an announcement to challenge the deputy high and above professional titles of Chinese medicine in a tertiary hospital in the country, and wanted to use the double-blind method to test the credibility of the Chinese medicine pulse diagnosis of pregnancy.

The content of this challenge is that the accuracy of TCM pulse diagnosis of pregnancy or not, with blind testing, is more than 80%.

After that, Yang, a teacher of prescription medicine at Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, proposed to respond to the battle, and posted a memorandum on Weibo about the implementation plan of the "pulse diagnosis pregnancy test" project, and he expressed the hope that by accepting the challenge, he would demonstrate the basic skills of pulse diagnosis and pregnancy test and prove the reliability of pulse diagnosis and pregnancy test under certain conditions.

According to the current protocol, the test will be carried out in a single-blind design, with the initial assistance of 32 women of childbearing age.

During the test, Dr. Yang did not know the pregnancy status of the women of childbearing age (test takers) being tested, nor did he know the proportion of pregnant women among the test takers, and the relationship between Dr. Yang and the test takers was covered with a cloth curtain, and Dr. Yang Zhen was not allowed to see the face, body shape and any other relevant information of the test takers, and only judged the pregnancy status of the test takers based on their own pulse cut results.

Finally, the accuracy of pulse diagnosis will be compared with the positive rate of HCG in urine test to evaluate whether the accuracy of pulse test reaches 80%.

As for the details, relevant people will be invited to study again, and the implementation plan will explain the issues of safety, law, ethics and other aspects.

However, the media also reported that when Dr. Yang, a teacher at Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, responded to the challenge and had not yet finalized the specific plan for the challenge, Lu, an old Chinese medicine doctor in southwest China, also took the initiative to accept the challenge and threw 200,000 yuan to swing, hoping to fully compete with Western medicine in many aspects such as cancer and tumors.

Dr. Lui conducted pulse tests on five women (including one pregnant) and only guessed the pregnancy in the second round, but even then, he said he would continue to take on the challenge.

"That's the kind of thing, hey." After Lin Xiao watched this news, he couldn't help but shake his head, obviously very disapproving.

"What's wrong?" Han Ya asked.

"People who have a certain understanding of Chinese medicine will think that such a challenge is meaningless, and instead of denigrating a knowledge that they don't know at all, it is better to work hard to discover and do something beneficial to the physical and mental health of the Chinese people." Lin Xiao expressed his attitude, "Whether they are studying Western medicine or Chinese medicine, do their job well, just treat diseases and save people, and at every turn, they represent Western medicine on behalf of Chinese medicine, is this something that they can represent as ordinary people?" Hey, inexplicable! ”

For such a person, Lin Xiao is a little unsightly.

In fact, as a doctor, you should know this, in clinical work, there is no instrument that can replace the doctor to directly contact the patient, and there is no really redundant examination.

The more a doctor comes into contact with a patient, the more problems are likely to be discovered.

The clinical thinking established on these manual examinations is the greatest value of medicine.

Traditional Chinese medicine has been opposed since ancient times, but it is based on the diagnosis of diseases, and the most important thing is to diagnose the four diagnoses together. In the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing", the four words of god, saint, work, and skill are used to evaluate the four diagnoses of looking, smelling, asking, and cutting, which shows the objective attitude of the sages towards pulse diagnosis.

Modern medicine also has a hand-based examination method that is incomprehensible to the layman, and in the era when there is no ultrasound guidance, pericardiocentesis is performed by percussion; In the absence of echocardiology, valvular heart disease was audible; In the era when CT and MRI were not available, the localization and diagnosis of neurology relied on a percussion hammer......

"Science should be open and fair, and human nature should be humble and friendly." Lin Xiao said to Han Ya, "Traditional Chinese medicine is the knowledge that comes from practice, and Chinese medicine workers are for the well-being of public health, which can be proved by the history of the past thousand years, but there are indeed liars in the team of Chinese medicine, there are too many liars, and like other industries, they cannot be generalized, which can also be proved by the history of more than 2,000 years." But when it comes to Western medicine, can it be said that they are all competent? In any industry, there will be black sheep. In the same way, there is no point in debating who is weak and who is strong, the key is to see who can cure the disease, and let the people afford to cure the disease, this is the most important point, and the rest is nonsense! ”

After hearing Lin Xiao finish saying these words, Han Ya was obviously a little touched, and couldn't help but touch his face with her hand.

"Oh, what's wrong? I don't have any cramps in my face, do I? Lin Xiao asked.

"No, it's just a little emotional." Han Ya said with a smile, "It can be seen that in fact, you are very protective of your reputation for traditional Chinese medicine. ”

Lin Xiao nodded and admitted, "There is no doubt about this, after all, I am a Chinese medicine practitioner, and I have also benefited from the profession of Chinese medicine, in fact, through my means, there are many people who have learned the benefits of Chinese medicine, if you let these people speak, they must be all supporters of Chinese medicine." ”

From the perspective of the basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine, it is actually about the unity of nature and man, that is, to understand one's own body clearly, adapt to the changes in nature, and then be able to achieve the degree of not being moved by external objects, and the heart is extremely strong, and the external evil does not invade, and the heart is not sick, which is actually a very good set of theories. As for the rest, hey, it's okay not to mention it. ”

Lin Xiao's emotion is also a little helpless, not that Chinese medicine is not good, but that many Chinese medicine practitioners are now the kind that are accelerated in schools, and even many people themselves have a distrustful attitude towards Chinese medicine.

This is like many officials in the system, the starting point of their careers is to get promoted and make a fortune, so that their families can become the existence of top wealthy families, counting on these people to take the position, do you really think they can serve the people?

The same reason, when used in different industries, it is natural to be able to draw inferences.

"Isn't there some exciting news?" Lin Xiao asked Han Yadao.

"Well, there's one more ...... Recently, NASA discovered a suspected UFO flying object near the International Space Station. Scientists suspect that the UFO had malicious intentions to observe the astronauts' movements. Han Ya flipped her hand and read it, "The space video of the International Space Station that day shows that the astronauts were walking in space at that time, and suddenly a mysterious flying object resembling a spaceship appeared in the originally dark space, and the flying object hovered between the space station and the earth, staying for only five seconds. NASA said the identity of the mysterious flying object has yet to be further verified. ”

Before Lin Xiao could make a comment, he saw Zhang Chenglin running out of the CT room, looking anxious.

"Zhang Ji, how's the situation?" Lin Xiao asked.

"Let's go, let's go!" Zhang Chenglin stretched out his hand and touched a handful of cold sweat, and hurriedly said to Lin Xiao, "I suspect that if I don't find an excuse to leave, those people inside will slice me and study it!" ”

Lin Xiao couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and said in his heart that this was normal.

After all, the doctors inside suddenly found that they were critically ill patients who had been sentenced to death yesterday, and today they suddenly had no problems at all, how could they not care about this?

However, Zhang Chenglin is still in a hurry, and he knows how to use urine to send them away, otherwise, I am afraid that they will be consumed here today.

The three of them did not stop at all, and left the General Military Hospital directly and went back to the hotel.
