Chapter 23

The two elders came to Ding Ning's ward with their notebooks on time early in the morning, sat like primary school students, devoutly recorded Ding Ning's every sentence, then expressed their views and discussed seeking common ground while reserving differences.

The three became friends at first sight, but in the face of academic issues, they would also quarrel because of different views. The most intense one was that old Zhang and old Hu stroked their sleeves, blew their beard and glared, and almost fought. Under Ding Ning's painstaking persuasion, they turned fighting into friendship, and soon became elated and talked and laughed.

Ding Ning shook his head and smiled bitterly. The two old men were like old urchins. They had a pure heart, no distractions, noble medical ethics and their own faith and persistence.

These are two old people who really have the kindness and selflessness of doctors, which is why Ding Ning is willing to give them everything.

The decline of traditional Chinese medicine is closely related to the self-esteem of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. Each school has a serious concept of teacher inheritance, firmly grasp its own medical skills in its hands, and will not be easily spread.

The old concept of inheritance has been deeply rooted, coupled with environmental pollution and the extinction of rare Chinese herbal medicines, some good prescriptions can't find alternative Chinese herbal medicines at all.

So that some half hanging traditional Chinese medicine began to swagger and deceive, exaggerating traditional Chinese medicine and using its myths to defraud property.

What's more, traditional Chinese medicine focuses on nutrition. It doesn't work as fast as western medicine. Usually, we should pay attention to living habits such as diet, work and rest, and get rid of bad habits such as smoking and drinking.

This is obviously inappropriate for the efficient and fast-paced work and life in modern society.

Over time, the real traditional Chinese medicine was crowned with the name of pseudoscience and lost the trust of patients. When they were sick, they would rather see Western medicine than believe in traditional Chinese medicine, which led to the decline of traditional Chinese medicine.

"The medical treasures left by our ancestors have not been carried forward and used to save the world and people, but have been nailed with the label of pseudoscience. This is the sin of our descendants."

"Speaking of this, I feel very sad. Mr. Hu and I once organized and held an exchange meeting on traditional Chinese medicine to exchange needs, learn from each other, discuss with each other, promote everyone's common progress and change the current situation of traditional Chinese medicine, but many people only have interests in their eyes. A good academic exchange meeting has become a commercial cocktail party to climb power and attach importance to you, make contacts and sign sales contracts, which is now popular What's the matter with people? In this way, the things left by our ancestors will slowly disappear in the long river of history. Even Koryo Bangzi without any cultural heritage knows to vigorously develop Korean medicine. Fusang's research on Chinese patent medicine ranks among the top in the world, but our Shenzhou country is clearly the birthplace of Chinese medicine, but now it can't even compare with Koryo and Fusang, Do we still have our own medical culture in China? "

"I began to learn traditional Chinese medicine when I was a child. At that time, when my master accepted apprentices, he had to test his character and medical ethics before he was qualified to start. But what about people now? All are mercenary and put interests first. If this goes on, even if we die, how can we face our ancestors!"

Speaking of the current situation of traditional Chinese medicine, the two old people beat their chest and feet bitterly, and their mood was depressed.

These words had a great impact on Ding Ning. To tell the truth, he liked to treat patients and save people. He liked to see dying patients get new life in his hands.

He doesn't care about the gratitude of the patient. He enjoys the fun of robbing people with death, which fills his heart with a sense of achievement. The decline of traditional Chinese medicine has nothing to do with him.

But the selfless feelings and noble morality of the two old people deeply moved him and made him aware of his narrow mind.

Yes, if the whole traditional Chinese medicine industry has no breeding ground in our own land, is banned and blocked, even if it has strong medical skills, how can it cure the disease and save people?

Even the whole traditional Chinese medicine industry has become a street mouse called by everyone. Who will believe his authentic traditional Chinese medicine? Who will let him see a doctor?

On the other hand, western medicine entered China and gained the trust of Chinese people. Is this not a cultural invasion?

Ding Ning thought carefully and was terrified. He felt a strong sense of mission. He firmly believed that the stone man activated his power, which itself was a sign of great responsibility.

Could it be that the power was actually produced to make me a savior of traditional Chinese medicine? Ding Ning thought narcissistically.

"By the way, elder martial brother, do you have a Chinese Medicine Practitioner Certificate?" Old Hu suddenly asked.

Ding Ning is also very helpless about the title of senior brother. Two old men in their 70s and 80s have to say that there is no order in learning, and those who reach it are teachers.

After he refused to accept his apprentice's request, the two old people insisted on calling him senior brother, which made him uncomfortable and felt that he was getting old.

He shook his head with a bitter smile and said, "although I am an ancestral traditional Chinese medicine, in fact, I have been practicing medicine illegally, and what I studied in medical school is the clinical practice of Western medicine. Where did I get the qualification certificate of traditional Chinese medicine?"

Mr. Hu and Mr. Zhang didn't seem surprised. Mr. Zhang nodded and said, "the problem now is here. No matter whether it's western medicine or traditional Chinese medicine, if you don't have a practicing qualification certificate, it's always unknown. It's good to say that if there's a mistake, senior brother, you have to bear the legal consequences."

Ding Ning scratched his head and said reluctantly, "at the beginning, I applied for the clinical specialty of Western medicine to study the difference between western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine. Although most Western Medicine treat the symptoms rather than the root causes, in fact, it is not nothing. At least in surgery, it does have an advantage over traditional Chinese medicine."

"Advantages?" Mr. Hu frowned: "it's more than an advantage. Traditional Chinese medicine goes back to the source. It mainly focuses on recuperation. It's impossible to carry out surgery at all."

"That's wrong. If traditional Chinese medicine couldn't carry out surgery, Hua Tuo dared to talk about craniotomy for Cao Cao to cut off the tumor."

"You mean Chinese medicine can also have surgery?" Old Zhang lost his voice and exclaimed, with a surprise in his eyebrows.

"Yes, I didn't expect that Hua Tuo invented Ma boiling powder. Since he dared to perform craniotomy for Cao Cao, he must have mastered the technology of surgery. However, the concept that traditional Chinese medicine can't operate has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so it has been ignored. If traditional Chinese medicine can operate, this operation method is definitely more advanced than western medicine."

Old Hu rubbed his hands back and forth excitedly, with a light in his eyes, "elder martial brother, please talk to us!"

Ding Ning kept a secret smile: "traditional Chinese medicine can operate, but it has high requirements for practitioners. I'm afraid I'm the only one in the world who can do this kind of operation."

"What do you say?" The second old man was disappointed, but he still asked tirelessly.

Ding Ning smiled and waved his hand. "Hearing is false, seeing is true. I let the two old men feel it on the spot."

The pulse cutter suddenly came out and clicked on the second old man.

"God, I lost consciousness. It's like anesthesia. It's amazing."

"Me too. My whole upper body lost consciousness. It's incredible. Is this acupoint?"

Hu and Zhang shouted excitedly.

Ding Ning stretched out his hand to untie the shackles for them and shook his head: "this is a pulse cutting hand. Unlike acupoints, it uses true Qi to cut off the central nerve of human meridians, so as to replace anesthesia."

"It's a magical means. Can ordinary people use this pulse interceptor? Are there any side effects or sequelae when using it in surgery?"

The two elders are very rigorous people. Although they have seen the magic of pulse cutting hands, But Ding Ning smiled bitterly: "It's not that I don't want to teach you. I also want to teach you so that traditional Chinese medicine can be carried forward. However, this pulse interceptor is different from the acupoints in the novel. It's not a fixed acupoint. It needs to be determined by the position of the meridians through which the human air flow passes 12 hours a day. Moreover, there are strict standards for the strength of the pulse interceptor. There can't be any mistakes. The strength is light However, the time to cut off the central nerve is not enough, and the strength is heavy. It is likely to bring irreversible damage to the patient's meridians, which will lead to a series of sequelae, and a bad one will endanger life. "

Seeing that Ding Ning looked serious, the two elders stopped pestering. They knew that what Ding Ning said must be the truth, which made them regret and excited. Old Hu stroked his beard and said proudly:

"But anyway, this is also a great progress of our traditional Chinese medicine. Even if only you master this method, it is also the gospel of patients."

Ding Ning thought for a moment and said solemnly, "in fact, there is no way at all, but this method has high requirements for doctors, and there must be no deviation."

"What method?" Old Zhang and Hu couldn't wait to ask.

"The popularity of Western medicine has something to do with the large-scale manufacture of Western medicine. Even if the same cold medicine can only cure 70% of cold patients, it also makes most patients recognize the efficacy of this cold medicine. However, our traditional Chinese medicine is more meticulous and pays attention to the application of medicine to the symptoms. It is the same cold, but the symptoms of the two patients can not be exactly the same, so we use medicine There will be some differences, which is one of the reasons why our traditional Chinese medicine can not occupy the mainstream of the medical field. "

Ding Ning thought and said: "Pulse cutting hands instead of anesthetics are like traditional Chinese medicine. The cut-off points at each hour are different, so the pulse cutting anesthesia method can not be widely used. According to my observation, everyone's cut-off points are actually the same in a fixed hour. Can we do this? I mark the cut-off points in a fixed time period, and the surgeon sticks to this time period and uses the cut-off anesthesia method Used in surgery. "

"If so, the surgeon needs to find the cut-off point very accurately, which is really high for doctors. Only traditional Chinese medicine familiar with the human meridian map can find this point."

Hu laoruo said thoughtfully, considering the feasibility of this method.

"Even so, what about strength? How to control it?" Zhang Lao frowned and asked suspiciously.
