Chapter 16: Cultivation of Medical Ethics

Medicine can distinguish between authenticity and falsehood, and medical ethics are ancient and modern.

Inherited for 5,000 years, a promise is worth a thousand gold.

High school life is boring and boring, in fact, the older you get, the more you will find that this time passes quickly, and when you look back and look back, you have come a long way.

Half a semester has been spent in the clinic, school, and family, and the non-stop study of Chinese medicine, and today I also ushered in the first midterm exam of my high school career.

Since ancient times, there have been exams, and cheating has emerged like an accessory. No matter where the exam room is, there will be cheating, and there will be people who dare to cheat.

After the English test started in the afternoon, the two invigilators in the class walked back and forth in the examination room, and the invigilators could see the slightest movement of the candidates.

But no matter how shrewd the tiger is, there are times when the two invigilators sit down to rest, a paper ball flew to my desk, I am also very curious about what is written here, and then I picked up the paper ball and was about to open it to see the contents, when the invigilator behind suddenly found out, the invigilator quickly stepped forward and confiscated the paper ball in my hand.

After the invigilator unfolded the paper ball, he found that it was 1. A,2.C,3…… It should be all the answers to the English test.

When the teacher saw this, how could he not understand what was happening? Isn't that cheating! It's very bold, the teacher is very angry, and the consequences are serious!

I was not given any chance to explain and my exam papers were confiscated. The invigilator in front of me came over and grabbed me by the collar and pulled me out of the exam room.

After listening to the invigilator's explanation of my situation, the director of the Academic Affairs Office put his hand on his glasses, and then, his eyes widened and poured out a barrage of words to me, no matter how I explained, it was useless, because they only believed the facts they saw with their own eyes.

In the afternoon, after school, the teacher informed my parents, and my father personally took me home from the school office, and followed my father listlessly, and my father did not really teach me a lesson like other parents, but quietly listened to me explain what happened on the road, and he did not show any anger

People are like this, when someone slaps your head and covers your face, you may act indifferent, but my dad is like this, he didn't say anything, which made my heart even more uncomfortable, and I began to seriously calm down to find my own shortcomings, because I know that often many things are not accidental, there must be factors behind it.

In the evening, after returning home for dinner, I saw that it was still early, said hello to my parents, and prepared to go out alone to relax, so I walked aimlessly on the street.

I think back to today's exam, the more I think about it, the more I feel uncomfortable, the feeling of being framed is really bad, and my heart is like a big lump in my heart.

Thinking about these messy things, I unconsciously walked to Mr. Cao's clinic. When I entered the clinic, Mr. Cao was very happy to see me appear, but he was a little puzzled when he saw my listless appearance. But now Mr. Cao still has a few patients, I silently beside him as an assistant, after the last patient left, Mr. Cao asked me to sit next to him and asked me what happened, so unenergetic.

I sat down and talked to Mr. Cao about this afternoon's exam, Mr. Cao became my most loyal listener at this time, I told Mr. Cao that I am very uncomfortable now, I did not make a cheat sheet, I was framed and misunderstood, and now I feel very bad.

When Mr. Cao heard this, he lifted his glasses and said to me with a smile: "The word 'forbearance' is actually very important in life, for example, the Confucian 'self-denial' and 'forgiveness' are also forbearance. The Taoist advocates of retiring from merit and abstaining from extravagance and frugality, all of which also contain the connotation of 'forbearance'. ”

When Mr. Cao mentioned the word "forbearance", I suddenly remembered many stories and truths that Master had told me, and Master also said the importance of the word "forbearance", and it is really difficult for people to be tolerant and generous among people. Just like Su Shi of the Northern Song Dynasty said: "When the puppet saw the humiliation, he drew his sword and stood up to fight." "It is difficult for ordinary people to swallow this breath when they are misunderstood or abused. Therefore, Su Dongpo did not think that this kind of sword drawing and fighting was a sign of bravery, but said, "When the husband sees humiliation, he draws his sword and stands up and fights, which is not enough to be brave." There are great brave people in the world, who come suddenly without being surprised, and without being angry for no reason. The people who hold it hostage are very great, and its ambitions are far away."

At this time, Mr. Cao further preached to me: "A person's life cannot always be smooth sailing, and there will always be things and problems of one kind or another, so people's attitude towards life is very important. This is actually not brave, a truly brave person is always calm and unfazed when faced with a sudden assault, and is able to control his anger even when he encounters an unprovoked insult. This is because he has a broad mind, profound cultivation, and lofty ambitions. Therefore, if anyone holds the kind of 'if someone offends me, I will offend someone', he is just a puppet, and in Chinese history, only broad-minded people will be respected and praised by people! ”

Teacher Cao said that there is a widely circulated saying in our Chinese medicine, which is called "do not defend when you are dirty, endure humiliation and cultivate virtue".

So, Mr. Cao told me the content of this sentence, this story is about the father of Wei Lianwan in Changzhou, who is kind and generous, proficient in medical skills, and has noble medical ethics. Whoever comes to seek medical treatment, whether rich or poor, he treats them wholeheartedly, without expecting anything in return, and always maintains a normal heart; For those very poor patients, they gave money and medicine; When encountering a person who has come to the city from a distant country to seek medical treatment, he must first let him drink some porridge or eat some cakes, and only after he has eaten will he begin to diagnose and treat.

Someone asked him why he still gave food to those people, and when they came to see the doctor, you just showed them and took care of the food? However, he said: "This is because of the long journey, and the hunger, and the blood is often disordered." I told them to eat something first and take a little rest before their pulses could settle down. Where I want to do good deeds and accumulate virtue, I just want to use this method to show the wonder of my medical skills! That being said, this is actually a manifestation of his noble medical ethics.

Once Mr. Wei was invited to a patient's home for treatment, when Mr. Wei left after seeing the patient, the patient's pillow was lost ten taels of silver, the patient's son was not found anywhere at home, thinking: No one in my family has ever been here, how can there be no silver? Only Mr. Wei has come over, but I know his personality, he won't take this, what can I do?

His son was depressed for several days, and after the affairs of his family were known to the neighbor, the neighbor said to his son: "There are people who are two-faced and three-stabbed, do you dare to guarantee that Mr. Wei did not take your money?" Anyway, it's true that your family's money is gone, and he has been to your house, who do you think will take it? His son listened to the slander and suspected that Mr. Wei had taken it, but he didn't dare to ask in person.

Someone taught him to take a pillar of incense and kneel in front of Mr. Wei's door. When Mr. Wei saw it, he asked him strangely, "Why are you doing this?" He replied, "I have a difficult matter, and I want to ask the old gentleman." I was afraid that the old gentleman would be surprised, so I didn't dare to say it. Mr. Wei said: "Say it, I don't blame you!" The sick man's son told the truth.

After listening to what happened, Mr. Wei invited him into the secret room and said, "This is indeed the case, I want to take it temporarily for emergency needs, and I originally planned to secretly return it when I return to the clinic tomorrow." Since you asked about it today, you can take it back immediately. Please don't tell outsiders about it! So he immediately took out the silver and gave it to him.

Just now, the patient's son came to the door of the gentleman to kneel on incense, and everyone said that the gentleman has always been cautious and noble, and should not frame a moral person for such a dirty behavior. When they saw the sick man's son come out with the money, they all exclaimed in unison, "The unknowability of the human heart has come to such a degree!" So there was a lot of slander and slander. After Mr. Wei heard this, he looked calm and didn't care at all.

Soon after, the patient recovered. When he was cleaning the bed net, he found the silver under the mattress, and he was shocked and regretted and said, "The thing is not lost, but it has framed an elder with high virtue, what should I do?" You should go to Mr. Wei's house immediately and return the money to him in front of everyone, and you can't let him hold a wrongful injustice again! ”

The father and son came to the husband's apartment together, still kneeling in front of the door with incense in hand. When Mr. Wei saw it, he smiled and said, "Why is this like today?" The father and son said ashamedly: "The silver that was lost before, we didn't lose it, we blamed the elders by mistake, it's really damned." Come today and return the money that the gentleman has given. The kid is ignorant, let the old gentleman beat and scold! Mr. Wei smiled and helped them up and said, "What does it matter? Don't take it personally! ”

The patient's son asked him, "I slandered the elder that day, why did he accept the stigma and not explain, so that I am ashamed today!" Now that we have been forgiven by Mr. today, can you tell us why he did so? ”

The gentleman smiled and said, "Your father and I are neighbors, and I have always known that he is thrifty and wealthy. I am sick, and I heard that if I lose ten taels of silver, my condition will definitely worsen, and I will even be unable to afford to get sick. Therefore, I would rather suffer a little grievance and stigma, so that your father will know that the lost property has been found, and the grief can be turned into joy, and the illness will naturally get better! ”

Hearing this, both father and son knelt on their knees, kowtowed, and said, "Thank you, old gentleman, for saving my life despite the tainted reputation of the old man." May I be a dog and a horse in the next life to repay the great kindness! The gentleman invited the father and son into the house, set up a wine and entertained them, and they parted happily.

When Mr. Cao finished telling this story, I immediately sobered up, and I thought: This old Mr. Wei is really good, it is rare to be able to be tainted without defending, and to be unmoved by the injustice in front of everyone. But what Mr. Wei was thinking about at this time was the illness of the person who slandered him, and he hoped that the other party's condition would be relieved at the expense of his reputation and the infamy of the thief. When the other party was grateful to Dade, he was humble, without the slightest arrogance, just as a human duty, and should do so. I sighed that this person's heart is so high, I don't know how many times stronger than me, a person in cultivation, and I am a little ashamed of myself.

Mr. Cao continued: Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "virtue is the foundation of longevity" and "benevolence is longevity". Mr. Wei, who does good deeds and accumulates virtues and is dedicated to others, has been blessed again and again, and has blessed future generations. On the 80th birthday of the old man, he was enshrined by the emperor many times, and his grandsons were also very noble. At that time, people said that God's reward for good people was indeed true!

Nowadays, people are fighting for fame and fortune, fighting for the long and the short, saying evil words and slandering for some small interests, and those who value profit hurt people and disregard people's lives.

This not only harms one's own internal organs and moral cultivation, but also causes a lot of harm to society and others, and repays wrongs. This story of "being polluted without arguing, enduring humiliation and cultivating virtue" is indeed worthy of the current doctors and the public.

When I heard this, the depression in my heart suddenly opened, and my mood suddenly brightened, and I was ashamed that I couldn't let go of such a trivial matter, and my heart was not as good as an ordinary person.

I talked a lot with Mr. Cao, and the theme was one, called "Doctors Value Virtue", and I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, it was not easy to meet this good teacher, and at the same time, I made up my mind to study medicine seriously and benefit the people in the future.

The small turmoil that occurred in the mid-term exam was quickly forgotten by me as time went by, and I devoted myself to the study of Chinese medicine.

However, I am glad that my medical skills have made great progress during this time, which can be described as rapid progress. The basic theoretical knowledge in Chinese medicine, as well as the basics of acupuncture and moxibustion, have also been mastered.

Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are Saturdays and Sundays, and Mr. Cao asked me not to go to his classes for the next two days, and arranged for me to make a cameo appearance as an intern doctor in his TCM clinic to increase some clinical experience in TCM diagnosis.

Of course, I can't ask for it, except for the half-day class on Saturday morning, there are no classes on Saturday afternoon and Sunday, so I can go to Mr. Cao's clinic to practice.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, I showed up on time at Mr. Cao's TCM clinic, where there was a doctor surnamed Wu who was watching the patient, and I acted as an assistant to Dr. Wu on the side.

Through Tianmu's recent observations, I found that in today's society, the proportion of sub-healthy people is getting larger and larger, and less than a quarter of the people are truly healthy. Why is it that material life has improved, but health has declined? The reason for this can be found in various aspects such as lifestyle, diet, psychology, etc.

One of the main reasons for people's sub-health is that people don't know how to maintain their vitality. The health of the human body is like a water tank, more water and full water means that the energy is strong, the vitality is sufficient, the resistance is strong, the physique is strong, and the disease is easy to heal; Lack of water and dry water indicate that the physical fitness is reduced, the resistance is insufficient, the vitality is weakened, and the disease is difficult to heal.

In fact, the health state of the human body refers to the physical, mental and personal social behavior are in a good state, sub-health is relative to health, the causes of its emergence mainly include psychology, society, environment, dietary structure, living habits and behaviors, interpersonal relationships, etc., and the factors are often cause and effect with each other, interact with each other, and jointly affect health.

Psychological causes such as high psychological pressure, unpleasant work, unsmooth work, unrecognized work ability, feeling bored in life, unhappy for a long time when encountering unpleasant things, dissatisfaction with the current situation of life, personality defects and personality quirks are important risk factors for the disease.

At the same time, the pressure of work, study and life is too high due to fierce social competition; Complex social interpersonal relationships, tensions between superiors and subordinates or colleagues; Encountering life events, such as divorce, widowhood, unemployment, or legal disputes, or excessive financial burden; Mechanized, formulaic life, work and study, etc. All of the above factors can cause people to have a variety of negative emotions, which is not good for health.

Nowadays, people have more nightlife, lack of rest and sleep, long-term smoking, excessive drinking, long hours of desk work, lack of physical exercise, indiscriminate use of health products, drug abuse and other unhealthy lifestyles, which can often lead to sub-health.

People now live a good life, food is also diverse, the current problem is mainly too much intake of high-calorie, high-fat food, other include excessive intake of food additives, irregular meals, overeating, nutrient deficiencies, etc.

Nowadays, due to the complexity and variability of social development, the emotions between people are becoming more and more indifferent, and the communication tends to be superficial, formalized and materialistic, which is more prone to emotional frustration and loneliness, which in turn induces an unhealthy psychological state. All kinds of pollution in the living environment, such as air pollution, automobile exhaust pollution, water pollution, food pollution, noise pollution, electromagnetic pollution, etc., will have more or less adverse effects on the health of various systems of the human body.

All these problems are important health problems that people have to face today, and some of my thoughts are immersed in the classics of Chinese medicine, rummaging in my mind to find relevant solutions to problems, and I find that there are already methods and solutions to solve today's health problems in Chinese medicine.

I also found that there is a spatial field around the human body, which is magnetic field, which can also be said to be a kind of magnetism, which is one of the properties of matter. Moreover, the earth we live in itself is a natural magnetic field, which can deflect high-energy particles, X-rays and other radiation materials that pose a fatal threat to the human body and living beings, flow to the poles along the direction of the magnetic field, and then scatter into the universe, thus playing an important role in protecting human beings and living beings.

The human body has a certain amount of magnetism, such as the electrical activity of the human brain, heart, skin and other organs, which all produce magnetic fields, and even the hair follicles on the scalp also produce magnetic fields. Magnetic field is an indispensable environmental factor for organisms to maintain normal life activities, and has a certain role and influence on the physiological functions of the body.

When the magnetic field of the human body is in a state of relative equilibrium, that is, the equilibrium of energy on the magnetic field, the human body is in a state of no disease at this time. When this balance is broken, that is, when the human body is sick, because of the change of the magnetic field in any part of the human body, the sudden strengthening or weakening will cause problems in the corresponding part of the human body.

When I saw the change in the magnetic field on the human body, when I found the cause of the change in the magnetic field of the human body, that is, the point of change, it was also the part where I saw the black gas coming out of the diseased part, which made my mind begin to think about the feasibility of using the magnetic field to treat the disease.

Relatively speaking, the positive magnetic field is beneficial to the body, and the reverse magnetic field is harmful to the body, which reminds me that there are a large number of electronic and electrical devices in life today, which will also produce a magnetic field, and if the human body is exposed to such an environment for a long time, it will interfere with the normal magnetic field operation of the human body itself.

My mind was very clear, and I was gradually sketching out the answers to one question after another, and at this moment, Dr. Wu, who was sitting next to me, whispered to me after seeing the last patient: "Xiaohyun, you stare here for a while, I'll go to the bathroom, maybe I didn't deal with what I ate today, and my stomach is uncomfortable, you look at it." With that, he trotted out of the consultation room.

I shrugged my shoulders and sat down in my seat, when a man and a woman came in the clinic, the middle-aged man was in his mid-40s, and the woman was in her 20s. The man's figure is very burly, but it feels very unenergetic, with a yellow face and thin muscles, and deep sunken eye sockets, and thick dark circles around the eyes. The female is charming, enchanting and cute, and belongs to the type that everyone loves.

The man sat down across from me and said weakly, "Doctor, show me what's wrong with me, I have no energy every day, I'm bored to do anything, I'm always sleepy, what's going on?" ”

When this man came in, I already knew the general problem of his body by observing his complexion, and he was a symptom of obvious lack of vitality.

I asked him about some of the situation, and it turned out that the couple who came in were husband and wife, and the man's lack of vitality was caused by his overindulgence if I was not mistaken.

So I took a pen and wrote him a five-word prescription "abstinence for three months" and handed it to him. He took the prescription I had prescribed, looked at it, and got up from his seat.

He said with a foul mouth: "Fart, you are a prescription?" Are you a doctor? Will I see a doctor? ...... "Just as the man was making a big noise, Dr. Wu came back from outside.

Seeing this situation, Dr. Wu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, sir, there is me!" I'll take a look at your illness. ”

Dr. Wu took a general look, also asked about some information, took the prescription I prescribed, smiled and said, "This gentleman, the medicine that our little brother prescribed to you is no problem!" ”

When the man heard this, he looked puzzled and asked why? Dr. Wu explained to him a little further, we in Chinese medicine call replenishing vitality irrigation water, in order to increase the vitality of life, replenish the essence of the body, and adjust the balance of yin and yang five elements, so as to help patients recover their health.

What is the premise of irrigation? That is to ensure that the water tank does not leak again, and the drain is blocked in advance, and then the water tank can be expected to be filled and filled. Otherwise, the faster you pour it, the faster it leaks, the more you pour it, the more it leaks, and in the long run, the gap will get bigger and bigger, the essence of the body will be lost, and your health will collapse.

In fact, the leakage of people's water tanks is a metaphor for the loss of vitality. There are many ways to deplete vitality, such as staying up late, overeating, psychological pressure, mood swings, lack of appropriate exercise, etc., but the fastest and most direct way to leak vitality is lust, excessive indulgence, and the amount of vitality depletion is very large.

In the end, Dr. Wu instructed the man to abstain from lust for several months, and to maintain it for a period of time when the disease is cured.

Dr. Wu turned his head and said to me: "For example, Zhu Danxi, a famous doctor of Jinyuan, emphasized in "The Treatise on Gezhiyu" that when the heart moves, it moves with fire, and when it moves, it moves by itself, so the sages just teach people to adopt the heart and nourish the heart, and its purpose is profound. …… Those who are good at health preservation should also stay away from the curtain, cherish each other, and keep the day and peace. To put it bluntly, if people's lustful desires are reckless, then the fire in the kidneys will be instigated, and the spirit will be self-discharged, and the sages will teach people to restrain their lustful thoughts and cultivate their minds and spirits, and the meaning of this theme is very far-reaching. Therefore, the way of health preservation lies in abstinence from sexual intercourse, and both husband and wife should cherish the essence of care, which can maintain health and longevity. ”

After listening to Dr. Wu, the couple was still a little embarrassed, and the man scratched his head and apologized to me repeatedly, and finally left the consultation room with a red face.

After they left, Dr. Wu sat down with me and discussed practical issues with me.

Dr. Wu said: "Traditional Chinese medicine refers to desire as 'phase fire', which consumes the essence the most, and it is too much to avoid. We often see in the medical cases of the ancients that when the ancient doctors treated diseases, especially chronic diseases such as fatigue and thirst, they often required the patients to live separately from their husbands and wives, and even concentrated a group of patients to live in large forests, temples and temples, away from the sound and lust of the city, and cut off the external temptation, so as to reduce the patient's desire, make it pure and have few desires, and do not leak the true essence, and then cooperate with the medicine for treatment, slowly recuperate the body, and then have the hope of healing. ”

In fact, I have thought about the question that Dr. Wu said, compared with ancient times, the temptation of today is not only dozens of times that of ancient times, but also the erotic information that permeates television, the Internet, games, mobile phones, books and magazines, and print advertisements abounds.

Walking down the road and looking at the magazine covers at the newsstand, more than half of them are pictures that seduce people's desires.

More than 90 percent of the teenagers who are addicted to Internet cafes are chatting, playing games, and browsing pornographic websites, and less than 5 percent are doing serious things such as consulting materials and sending e-mails.

Games and the Internet are more and more full of violence and eroticism, and if you look at the covers of computer games, the figure and dress of the heroine are becoming more and more explicit. And these attract a large number of young people, you can imagine how seriously polluted the body and mind of these children who are addicted to them!

When young people are in full bloom, under the temptation of social media, the Internet, books, magazines, and magazines, it is very difficult for them to control their minds, and even have sex prematurely, resulting in the decay and loss of vitality, mental decadence and obscenity, and the premature loss of the essence of life, not only physical decay, but also serious damage to their intelligence.

In the end, Dr. Wu said with some sadness: "Walking on the street, looking at the young people on the road, their complexion is already difficult to match the ruddy complexion, high spirits, vigorous movements, loud voices, and sufficient vitality...... hooked up, and in its place were pale and yellowish countenance, decadent demeanor, dirty eyes, withered hair, hoarse voice, vulgar conversation, selfish behavior, decaying physical and intellectual ...... Awake! ”
