Chapter 181: The Dilemma of Traditional Chinese Medicine

After coming out of the pediatrics, Zhang Jing was ready to say goodbye to Director Yang.

Director Yang grabbed him and said with a smile: "Little fellow, I really worked hard for you today, and I delayed you for a morning." It's almost noon now, so we have to have a light meal together before leaving. ”

Seeing that it was difficult to resist, Zhang Jing had no choice but to nod in agreement.

"Well, I'm just a casual job at the moment, but I still have to punch in and out of work. Why don't you go and sit with me. ”

Sinecure?

Zhang Jing was slightly stunned when he heard this.

I just wanted to ask, but after thinking about it again, maybe it was just his humble statement, so I temporarily held back and didn't speak.

just silently followed behind Director Yang.

As for the preventive treatment center, Zhang Jing had only heard of this name before, but he had never seen it in person.

Because in the small county hospital where he graduated and interned, there was no such department at all.

In Zhang Jing's understanding, the center should be a place for traditional Chinese medicine to regulate sub-healthy people.

After entering the door, I saw the introduction of the center standing at the entrance of the hall, and I realized that the connotation of the preventive treatment center is quite rich.

I saw that it was written: the treatment of "pre-disease" is to identify the constitution through the unique overall concept of the unity of nature and man in traditional Chinese medicine, as well as the diagnosis and treatment methods of syndrome differentiation and treatment, and discover the potential disease information in the body in time.

In this way, effective health and health care measures can be determined to achieve the purpose of correcting the biased trend of physical constitution and making it change in the direction of health.

The Preventive Treatment Center is mainly suitable for the following groups:

1. Those who are in good health, have no abnormal indications, and want to maintain the best condition.

2. Those who have a biased constitution and a tendency to be susceptible to diseases.

3. Those who have obvious symptoms but no abnormalities in physical and chemical indicators.

4. Those whose physical and chemical examination indicators are at the critical value but have not yet reached the disease diagnosis criteria are the susceptible groups of diseases.

5. In the stable period of chronic diseases, it is necessary to control and delay the development of chronic diseases, as well as to prevent disease complications.

6. Those who have been cured of the disease but need to prevent recurrence, or those who have recovered from a serious illness and are weak after major surgery and need to be further recuperated.

Director Yang saw that Zhang Jing was looking at it quite carefully, and couldn't help but smile slightly: "Little fellow, don't be deceived by these appearances. ”

"Appearances?" Zhang Jing didn't understand a little.

"Yes, these introductions are all for propaganda, to put it bluntly, they are to deal with the inspection of superiors and act as a faΓ§ade. In fact, the preventive treatment center is essentially a medical examination center. ”

"Experience Center?" Zhang Jing couldn't help but be even more curious.

"That's right, this place was originally an experience center. Then I added a TCM constitution identification room, and I was assigned to work in this TCM constitution identification room. ”

Director Yang said as he took Zhang Jing to his office.

Zhang Jing took a look at the door and found that in addition to the diagnosis table and chair, there was also an instrument that looked like a computer but was not a computer.

When I got closer, I saw that there were a few words written on it.

So he asked in surprise: "Director Yang, do you directly use this instrument here to identify your physique?" ”

Director Yang smiled bitterly: "It's not bad, that's why I just said that I am an idle job here." Distinguishing the physique is generally done by the person who comes to the physical examination by himself, and some are even regarded as a kind of computer entertainment, do you say ridiculous? ”

After hearing this, Zhang Jing couldn't help but be indignant and said: "Do you still need to arrange an expert of your level to be on duty in this kind of place, maybe it's too big to be of little use!" ”

"Alas! It's hard to put it into words, it's just that the Chinese medicine doctor has no say in the hospital. Director Yang sighed, then shook his head again.

Zhang Jing suddenly thought about it and asked, "By the way, Director Yang, what do you think of the current predicament encountered by traditional Chinese medicine?" ”

Director Yang pondered for a moment, and then said slowly: "I think the biggest problem of Chinese medicine is the withering of Chinese medicine talents, because there are too few real Chinese medicine practitioners. Today, you should have also seen that as the largest gathering place of traditional Chinese medicine in the county, the county hospital of traditional Chinese medicine is actually very unworthy of its name. ”

"Although most of the hospitals have the title of traditional Chinese medicine or integrated Chinese and Western medicine, they are not really Chinese medicine at all. Not to mention using TCM methods to see a doctor, it is even difficult to listen to you give a sharing class of TCM clinical experience. ”

Zhang Jing nodded thoughtfully: "Director Yang, you are right. I remember reading a report that said that in the past 80 years, the entire Chinese medical market. Traditional Chinese medicine has been sharply reduced by one-third from the original 800,000, that is, only about 270,000 now. ”

"What is even more shocking is that of the 270,000 TCM practitioners, only 10% of them will prescribe decoctions. In the end, there are only 30,000 people who can really use traditional Chinese medicine thinking to see a doctor. ”

In contrast, during the same period, Western medicine grew from almost zero to 1.75 million people today. With such a disparity in proportion, the status of Chinese medicine can be seen from this. ”

It was the first time for Director Yang to hear such accurate figures, and he couldn't help but be shocked, frowning and asking, "Is this data reliable?" I've always only known that there are few real Chinese medicine practitioners around me, but I really don't know that it has withered to this extent. ”

Zhang Jing nodded seriously: "I remember that it is the investigation result of the strategic research group of traditional Chinese medicine, which should be quite authoritative." ”

Director Yang then sighed, and then asked, "So, do you think there is still hope for the revival of Chinese medicine?" ”

"Of course, the country is not vigorously promoting traditional Chinese medicine now, and I think this is a rare opportunity. However, we should not just stop at slogans, there are many problems in the general environment, and it is actually difficult to truly achieve revival. Zhang Jing replied solemnly.

Director Yang bowed slightly: "What do you think of the predicament encountered by traditional Chinese medicine, little fellow?" ”

"First of all, the pharmacopoeia issue, which has always been criticized by everyone, and even many Chinese medicine practitioners think that it is a tight mantra worn on the head of clinical Chinese medicine, and the use of prescriptions is used to tie the hands and feet." Zhang Jing said.

"Indeed, the pharmacopoeia is too harsh on the dosage of many traditional Chinese medicines, and it should be improved based on clinical practice." Director Yang nodded in agreement.

Zhang Jing continued: "The second is the quality of medicinal materials. Many Chinese herbal medicines on the market are shoddy, and even fake and real are not uncommon. The state still lacks supervision and crackdown in this regard. ”

Director Yang nodded again: "That's right, as the saying goes, Chinese medicine is like soldiers, if there are some old and weak soldiers under your hands, no matter how big your ability is, you can't use it." ”

"The third relates to the issue of education mode, although there are many TCM graduates from regular universities, but because the content of learning is too mixed, there is no obvious distinction between priority and priority. As a result, TCM students have a little understanding of both Chinese and Western medicine, but they are all half-witted. ”

"After graduating, I was immediately pushed to the front line of clinical practice, and then I would find that I was completely blind and could not use the methods of traditional Chinese medicine to see a doctor at all. Therefore, I think that many TCM students have to switch to Western medicine after graduation. This has led to the direct loss of reserve talents in TCM. ”
