At half past six, Lu Jiu got off work.

Although there were still people who were reluctant to leave, Lu Jiu no longer had the energy to go to the doctor at the moment, so he could only ask them to come back tomorrow afternoon.

Because in the morning, Lu Jiu had to accompany Lu Shuang to go to the Morning Flower Festival.

Lu Jiu was afraid that someone would not know, so he specially printed a notice and pasted it outside the medical hall.

"Doctor Lu, is it convenient to have a meal together?" Tang Yi had been following the doctor for most of the day, and he had long wanted to talk to Lu Jiu.

"Okay, since you spent a lot of money to see me today, then I will treat you to a meal to make up for your loss." Lu Jiu said with a smile.

"Don't don't, don't, I'll please, I'll please, I'm asking you for advice, how can I still let you break the bank." Tang Yi hurriedly said.

"It's all the same." Lu Jiu smiled and didn't dwell on this question anymore.

The two of them didn't pay much attention to food, so they casually found a restaurant on the side of the road, ordered two or three side dishes, and chatted about traditional Chinese medicine.

"Doctor Lu, are you a family heirloom?" Tang Yi asked.

"Well, I've been studying since I was a child, and I've been doing it for more than twenty years." Lu Jiudao.

"But how do I feel like you're still a bit of an academic?" Tang Yidao.

"Hehe, I studied at Jinling University of Traditional Chinese Medicine in college, and it has been a year or two since I graduated." Lu Jiu said with a smile.

"No wonder, I said you must have gone to a university of Chinese medicine, eh? Dr. Luk, since you have studied them all, what do you think is the difference between the family tradition and the Chinese medicine students who came out of the college? Tang Yi asked.

"If you say that the family tradition, you pay more attention to the basics, whether it is the foundation of syndrome differentiation or the foundation of traditional Chinese medicine, it will be more solid than that of the academy, and the academic school pays more attention to skills, and the mastery of the foundation is not very solid."

"But there is no way, even if it is Western medicine for five years, it can only be regarded as an entry, not to mention Chinese medicine, I have studied for more than 20 years, and I still feel that I know too little." Lu Jiudao.

In a medical university, if you only study for an undergraduate, hospitals in first- and second-tier cities will not want you, and if you want to get into a good hospital, you basically start with a master's degree.

That is to say, after seven years of continuous study for bachelor's and master's degrees, three years of regular training, and ten years have passed, you can have the opportunity to sit on the job independently.

That's why good doctors are basically in their forties and fifties, after all, when you don't have clinical experience, you're almost thirty.

"Also, I don't even have a medical qualification certificate now, so I can only let the old Chinese medicine doctor in the hospital take the re-hired old Chinese medicine doctor to sit for a consultation," Tang Yi recruited a special recruit, but that was only because his school was better, whether he could practice medicine or not depends on whether he had a qualification certificate, as for the level, that would be a matter for the future, "Doctor Lu, I see that you can prescribe prescriptions and acupuncture, and the level is not low, it should be the foundation laid by the family tradition." ”

Lu Jiu nodded, "Sort of." ”

Tang Yi asked, "Then do you have a knack for learning Chinese medicine?" ”

When asked this, Tang Yi's eyes lit up.

Lu Jiu said with a smile, "The trick is to familiarize yourself with the classics, the Yellow Emperor's Neijing, Shennong's Materia Medica, Acupuncture and Moxibustion, Typhoid Theory, and Jinkui Yaolu, these five books must be learned and memorized." ”

"As long as you master these five books, you don't need to read other medical books at all, especially the textbooks in college, I just coped with the exam in those five years, and I never read them carefully, it's useless."

What Lu Jiu said was a bit big, but it was also a fact, compared with the ancient classics that had been passed down for thousands of years, the textbooks in the school were not only complex and obscure, but also the content did not have much gold content, and even some of the authors who wrote the textbooks themselves had never seen a doctor.

What can you learn from this?

The difference between Chinese medicine and Western medicine in this regard is that Western medicine is constantly evolving, and it requires constant scientific experimentation and then negating one's previous erroneous views.

Traditional Chinese medicine is not, the development of traditional Chinese medicine to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, that is, Zhang Zhongjing's era, is already a very complete medical system, there is no need for any innovation, the ancestors have finished talking about all the things that can be said.

Therefore, to learn Chinese medicine, you must read ancient books.

Tang Yi scratched his head, "After graduating, I only read the theory of typhoid fever, but I haven't read much other books, and I always feel that the effect is not particularly great." ”

Lu Jiu shook his head, "You're wrong, if you don't read the Yellow Emperor's internal scriptures, how do you know what the state of a normal person is?" Where does the disease come from? Yes, after reading the theory of typhoid fever, you can judge the patient's condition according to the dialectical syndrome of the six classics, and the practicality is indeed stronger, but why did he get this disease, the theory of typhoid fever is actually not comprehensive. ”

"Just like when you learn Chinese medicine and read Shennong's Materia Medica, but you have never seen what those Chinese herbal medicines look like, you don't recognize, smell, or taste Chinese medicine, just based on the description in the book, it is difficult for you to grasp its effect, and even you may not even know the truth of Chinese medicine."

"For example, Poria cocos is a flavored medicine, many recipes have this flavored medicine, but in the Chinese herbal medicine market, its counterfeit rate can be ranked in the top three, some hospitals if the person who purchases Chinese herbal medicine does not understand the medicinal materials, it is also very easy to buy fakes, but this fake patient will not be in danger of life if he eats it, but it will not have half the curative effect."

"I say this just to tell you that studying Chinese medicine is not about reading from the book, you have to know what it is, but also why it is, so that you can be confident when you see a doctor."

Tang Yi nodded, "Doctor Lu, you should know all about these five books. ”

Lu Jiu smiled, "I'm just getting started, when I master the five luck and six qi, it can be regarded as a small achievement." ”

Is this still called getting started?

Tang Yi watched the whole process today, and only came to one conclusion, that is, if Lu Jiu was in the hospital, his level would no longer be lower than those director-level doctors, and even many people might not be as good as him.

It's all called a beginner, so what is he?

Apprentices who are not yet initiated?

"Doctor Lu, do you have to learn the five luck and six qi in order to be considered a real Chinese medicine practitioner?" Tang Yi asked.

He knows the five luck and six luck, but he is only in the category of knowing.

When Lu Jiu heard this, he shook his head, "It's not just the five luck and six qi, you have to learn everything in Chinese culture, especially the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, you don't have to dabble too deeply, but you must understand something." ”

Tang Yi was a little confused, "Confucianism? Does this have anything to do with Chinese medicine? ”

Lu Jiu said with a smile, "Of course it matters, Confucianism talks about self-improvement, Buddhism talks about self-proof, and Taoism talks about nature." ”

"Self-improvement is the relationship between man and society, self-proof is the relationship between man and his heart, nature, is the relationship between man and heaven and earth, and people's illness is nothing more than related to themselves, society, and nature."

"If you understand Confucianism, you will cure the diseases suffered by the society and family, if you understand Buddhism, you will cure the diseases suffered by the psychological and emotional diseases, and if you understand Taoism, you will cure the diseases suffered by the qi of heaven and earth."

"If you don't understand these and only understand medical principles, then you can be a doctor, treat diseases, and if you understand, you can be a Chinese medicine doctor, you can look at the patient's problems comprehensively, treat the symptoms and cure the root cause, and then go to the doctor, that realm is not something you and I can achieve casually."

Confucianism is self-reliant, Buddhism is self-proven, and Taoism is natural.

Tang Yi was like an initiation, and his horizons were broadened a little at once.

Yes, Chinese medicine is a carrier of Chinese culture, so how can you truly understand the things of Chinese medicine if you don't understand the roots of Chinese culture?

In the past, he thought about Chinese medicine too narrowly.

"Doctor Lu, which floor are you on?" Tang Yi asked.

"Get medical attention." Lu Jiudao.

"No, I see that you are clearly regulating the emotions of patients, shouldn't it be at the level of traditional Chinese medicine?" Tang Yidao.

"It's not very proficient, and the medical theory is not deep enough, so I can't talk about traditional Chinese medicine." Lu Jiudao.

This is not that Lu Jiu is modest, he is indeed far from the real realm of Chinese medicine.

However, in Tang Yi's eyes, this is not the case, he feels that Lu Jiu's understanding of Chinese medicine is better than some of the teachers he met when he was in school, at least no one has ever explained the relationship between Confucianism, Buddhism and Chinese medicine to him.

"It's worth this trip today, hehehe." Tang Yi said with a smile.

"Next time you want to come to me to talk about Chinese medicine, you don't need to be so troublesome, it's no problem to see me for diagnosis, anyway, there are many people in the hospital, and you are not the only one." Lu Jiu said with a smile.

"Doctor Lu, don't you think I'm a little abrupt today? Moreover, we didn't know each other before, so we just said that we wanted to exchange Chinese medicine, and you came, and you allowed me to go often, which ...... Tang Yi himself was a little embarrassed.

"Hehehe, I have a problem, I am a teacher, I always like to tell people something related to Chinese medicine, since I can meet someone who understands Chinese medicine, then communication and exchange is also a kind of learning for me, what do you say." Lu Jiu said with a smile.

Tang Yi was stunned when he heard this, and then his expression became solemn, "I've been taught." ”

Lu Jiu waved his hand, "Everyone is the same age, don't be so serious, and since you know each other, you don't need Doctor Lu to come to Doctor Lu, just call me by my name." ”

Tang Yi refused, "Don't, or I'll call you Brother Lu." ”

Lu Jiu didn't force it, "Okay, it's all the same." ”

Tang Yi smiled, "Brother Lu, do you know the news that our Jianghan Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital is going to establish a Chinese medicine department?" ”

Lu Jiudao, "I've heard of it." ”

Tang Yidao, "It is said that President Qi is sincere in supporting traditional Chinese medicine, and the treatment given to us is very high, and it is expected that it will take a year to build the Chinese medicine department into the strongest department in the Chinese medicine hospital." ”

Speaking of the back, Tang Yi himself became excited.

Lu Jiu said, "Just listen to this, don't believe it." ”

Tang Yi said, "Brother Lu, don't you believe it? This time, it was instructed by the central government to reverse the situation of the westernization of traditional Chinese medicine, and with the official endorsement, I am afraid that it will not be possible? ”

Lu Jiudao, "There are policies, there are countermeasures, for now, Chinese medicine can't sing the leading role, even in the Chinese medicine hospital, but your efforts are definitely valuable, but not now, not a year later, so don't have too many expectations." ”

Tang Yi said, "Brother Lu, do you think that Chinese medicine can't do Western medicine?" ”

Lu Jiu said with a smile, "It depends on how you think of Chinese and Western medicine, they don't have anyone who has done whom, they are all to solve the problem of patients from suffering, but the path is different, but I think the two medicines will eventually come together again, because the road taken by Western medicine now is to constantly verify whether Chinese medicine is correct and scientific in the microcosm, of course, this verification process will make many people suffer unnecessary harm and even death, just like the disease of appendicitis." ”

"If you give me 500 such patients now, I can guarantee that within an hour, these 500 appendicitis patients will be exempted from surgery, and there will be no sequelae after being cured, but there is no way, patients will not come to you, and you are not qualified to challenge authority, because appendicitis surgery is a treatment method protected by the state and is a legal medical treatment."

"I don't know if you've watched a news, it's probably a team of scientists on the Eagle Emperor's side, and they have studied that the appendix has a secondary immune function, in addition to catalyzing immune cell responses, it can also stabilize the intestinal flora, once the appendix is removed, the body's intestinal function will be seriously affected."

"Unfortunately, even if I have done this, I still cannot question that those who cut off the patient's appendix and threw it in the trash are practicing medicine illegally, even though the national law makes it illegal to mutilate people's lives and organs."

"Dude, this is the reality, many things will not be recognized by the mainstream medical community until they are confirmed as science, but our efforts are not meaningless, at least in this verification process, we can save one by one, and how much we can save depends on how high the level of those of us who study Chinese medicine."

"Come on and learn Chinese medicine, stay optimistic, but also be sober enough to ...... the future Maybe it's up to you and me to do a little bit! ”
