Chapter 4006 [95] Zong Gui is
You will feel pain when taking anesthetic, but it won’t hurt after taking anesthetic.
Looking at it this way, acupuncture and anesthesia in traditional Chinese medicine should go first.
Is the needle numb and painful?
Laymen may be worried about the pain of acupuncture. Instead of worrying about this, the insider might as well worry about the effect of acupuncture anesthesia mentioned earlier.
One of the biggest reasons why acupuncture anesthesia is not as good as Western anesthesiology in modern medicine is that acupuncture anesthesia can only relieve pain and it is difficult to achieve complete muscle relaxation, and the effect cannot be achieved so that patients cannot feel it during surgery. The feeling of viscera being pulled by surgical instruments cannot make the patient lose consciousness in the late stage, so that the patient can feel that the doctor is operating on himself during the operation and then produce psychological disorders. These are all 100% medical malpractice in Western medicine anesthesiology.
Even if it is used for local pain relief, acupuncture anesthesia is not like Western medicine anesthesiology. For example, Chinese medicine is criticized by Dr. Fu for its lack of quantitative indicators, so it is difficult to train doctors with the mass production method of Western medicine education. The individual technical deviation is extremely large.
This kind of great deviation is not only reflected between individuals, but also like what Professor Wang himself admits, his prescription may work miracles on one patient, but it is hard to say that it can be used on another person.
Some people say that the above is the strategy of thousands of people and thousands of prescriptions that Chinese medicine is very proud of, but in essence it is too much a test of the talent of Chinese medicine doctors.
Because there are no quantitative indicators that can be summarized, it is difficult for TCM doctors to summarize their own successful experience to replicate to other patients.
what to do?
Can only rely on talent.
Talented TCM doctors, such as well-known doctors in history, can treat everything accurately. It is impossible for future generations to completely copy the treatment plan to each individual patient.
Those who have no talent can only hit big luck.
Don’t blame the school of Chinese medicine for discussing a lot about whether it can be used or not. It’s like a surgeon who tends to fall into the trap of being superior.
Theories all make sense, but most of the practical applications are a mess.
The needles in acupuncture are called the surgical scalpel of traditional Chinese medicine. Acupuncture doctors must have the technical ability to compete with Western medicine surgeons. More accurately, it is called technical talent.
Due to the above reasons, generally speaking, acupuncture and anesthesia must be combined with anesthetics for major operations. Minor surgery can sometimes use water injection.
Water acupuncture is a product of modern Chinese medicine, the theory is meridian science, combined with modern medicine (western medicine or Chinese patent medicine injection), so another name of water acupuncture is called acupoint injection.
Like acupuncture anesthesia, it can usually be injected into designated acupoints after being diluted with normal saline with drugs similar to pethidine.
Western medicine has four injection methods, intradermal injection, subcutaneous injection, intramuscular injection, and intravenous injection. If the above four western medicine injection methods are used to explain the specific anatomical site of acupoint injection, it should be equivalent to the subcutaneous injection site of western medicine.
After explaining to this point, you can understand why it is sometimes not doctors but nurses who inject water injections in hospitals of traditional Chinese medicine. After all, it is nurses who do injection work in hospitals every day, and they are more experienced in actual operation.
Once the injection site is wrong and the medicine that should not enter other parts of the human body is injected, the consequences can be imagined.
This is not a traditional Chinese medicine hospital. The nurses in the intensive care department of the Western Hospital are on standby.
Nurses also specialize in surgery, let the nurses in the Western Hospital do the water injection?
The nurse at the scene shook her head: I don't know where the acupuncture points are.
