C247 Why don't you give it a try

In order to not apologize to Lu Shan, Elder Ma would definitely ask the last question that Lu Shan would never be able to answer!

But seeing how solid Lu Shan's knowledge of the basics of Chinese medicine was, he reckoned that even if he could come up with any new and unconventional topics, it would still be difficult for Lu Shan to overcome!

So the Elder Ma was struck by inspiration, he pointed to his heart and said: "One last question … Do you think that traditional Chinese medicine or western medicine has a better effect in treating diseases such as myocardial infarction? "

His question was a bit hard to answer... Strictly speaking, this question was no longer a basic knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine. Instead, it was the focus of the debate between the traditional and western medicine. Furthermore, this question did not have an accurate answer to it.

Generally speaking, since he was learning Chinese medicine, he could say that the effect of Chinese medicine was good, but in reality, it was not necessarily...

And in fact... Western medicine and Chinese medicine have their own advantages in the treatment of myocardial infarction.

In order to rapidly restore the blood flow and save the myocardial tissue, the effect of revascularization is good. However, it is also found that the symptoms of myocardial insufficiency, such as angina pectoris, still occur after treatment according to the standard of western medicine guidelines, because western medicine can only dredge the large blood vessels and can not do anything to the microvessels.

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) can supplement the deficiency of western medicine in this aspect, such as using Musk Protecting Heart Pill often, improving the microcirculation of myocardium, and relieving myocardial ischemia by protecting vascular endothelial cells and promoting neovascularization. So... Most of the time, the best effect is the combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine.

However, if Lu Shan really answered like that, it would be very easy for Elder Ma to find a reason to refute him. But if Lu Shan said that the effect of Chinese medicine was better, then Elder Ma would say that he was short-sighted and stubborn. Of course, if Lu Shan answered the question about treating myocardial infarction, western medicine would have even more of an advantage … Then, the Elder Ma wouldn't even need to refute him and could directly judge that he answered the question wrongly.

In any case, no matter how Lu Shan answered, he would not get the perfect score for this question, and if that was the case … For Elder Ma, this was sufficient.

However, what surprised Elder Ma and a few other Chinese medical doctors present was that, after Lu Shan heard Elder Ma's question, he actually did not even think about it and directly replied, "The best treatment for cardiovascular diseases like myocardial infarction is, of course, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Even though I don't know much about western medicine, I know that... The treatment of western medicine was a typical headache treatment. If it was treated in this way, it would basically be incurable. At most, it would only be able to alleviate the patient's symptoms. It was basically impossible to cure it completely! "On the other hand, traditional Chinese medicine can cure this kind of disease completely through acupuncture and moxibustion along with traditional Chinese medicine …"

Hearing that, Elder Ma immediately opened his mouth, and only after a long while did he cough dryly, and said: "Hey … Lad, I really appreciate your confidence and popularity in our national medicine, but... You can't say such nonsense! TCM was indeed superior to Western medicine in treating myocardial infarction in certain aspects, but its shortcomings were also very obvious! And … Acupuncture for Myocardial Infarction... What do you think? Which teacher taught you this... This... This is really playing a random zither! "

Lu Shan frowned slightly and said, "Elder Ma … How did I just randomly play the zither? Acupuncture is a very effective method to treat myocardial infarction. How about... Try it yourself! "

"How dare you!"

Hearing Lu Shan's words, the assistant from the Elder Ma opened his eyes wide and said: "What status does the Elder Ma have? How can you, a disciple who hasn't even obtained a Physician's Certificate yet, do anything?"

Seeing that, the Elder Ma waved his hand, and then, his old eyes that were originally a little dizzy stared fixedly at Lu Shan, asking: "You said that acupuncture can cure the heart injury, where did you get this evidence from? I know your knowledge of TCM is very solid, but... This technique can even be classified as a separate branch of knowledge. Earlier on, I did some research on acupuncture for a period of time, even though my level of acupuncture is only average, but I have seen quite a few different types of acupuncture techniques, so I don't know … This kind of person who can treat myocardial infarction, which school do you think he belongs to? "

Lu Shan scratched his head and said: "About this … I don't know how schools are distinguished, I only know... This set of acupuncture techniques that I have learnt is called [Hua Tuo's Nine Needles]. "

"What?" Hua Tuo, nine needles! "

When Elder Ma heard these four words, it was as if he was struck by lightning. His entire being was stunned at first, but then with a "Swish", he stood up from his chair. And because he got up too quickly, he even directly flipped the chair under him onto the ground, and at the same time … The teacup in front of him had also been knocked over by the hand that he had pressed down on the table. It rolled and fell to the ground, shattering into countless pieces of glass …

"Aiya …" Elder Ma, are you alright? "

"Elder Ma, you have to hold on …"

The assistant of the Elder Ma and the one sitting on the other side of him quickly supported the Elder Ma from the left and right. The assistant from the Elder Ma stared angrily at Lu Shan and said, "What's wrong with you, little comrade? If Elder Ma gets sick again, you … "

Seeing that, Elder Ma was slightly displeased: "Little Gao, what are you doing? "He didn't do anything wrong. Even if I do get sick again, it's because I'm lacking in self-cultivation. It's easy to get agitated when things go wrong, so how can I blame him?"

After he finished speaking, he cast his gaze back at Lu Shan, and said with a tone full of disbelief: "You … You really know Hua Tuo's Nine Needles? "

"That's right …" It's true! "

Lu Shan could roughly guess now … The set of acupuncture techniques called "Hua Tuo's Nine Needles" that he had learned through the mission rewards were probably not simple, it had actually shocked the entire Elder Ma to such an extent!

He only felt that this acupuncture technique should be very effective, but in reality … Although he had instantly learnt it, he had only tried it on Yi Xueer yesterday.

In any case, he felt that Hua Tuo's Nine Needles was very easy to treat, why did Yi Xueer say that … What if she couldn't cure the dysmenorrhea?

And today … Similarly, the Hua Tuo Nine Needles treatment method that Lu Shan learned had a treatment method specifically aimed at heart disease. Although it required a few more difficult acupuncture methods, but … It made no difference to him either way, as he learned it using the method of "eating" Skill Certificate. It didn't matter if it was easy or not, he would be done with just one bite!

Anyway, according to the introduction in the Skill Certificate s, the majority of heart diseases could be cured with acupuncture. Why did it become an unbelievable matter when it came to the Elder Ma?
