Chapter 4171【260】Can’t wait
The veteran doctor has reached his limit and needs to expand his thinking. Perhaps he can learn some Chinese medicine to help expand his medical worldview.
Young Western doctors want to learn Chinese medicine. To put it bluntly, they have not learned Western medicine well, so why should they study Chinese medicine?
Cao Zhao has been a playful kid since he was a child.
In this way, the second eldest son of the Cao family has played with his grandma’s moxibustion box.
“Can you do it?” Cao Zhao sounded a little worried.
Having played it before, he knows how mysterious Chinese medicine is.
Western medical anatomy can at least give you a clear idea of which bones and nerves are where in the human body. The meridian theory of traditional Chinese medicine conflicts with the anatomy of Western medicine, so acupuncture points based on meridian theory are mysterious things that cannot be seen or touched.
This will lead to the universal principles in Western medicine textbooks being traced to individuals. What about traditional Chinese medicine acupoints?
Thanks to his sister-in-law's ability, Cao Zhao also knows that he is very good at playing anatomical positions. But acupuncture points in traditional Chinese medicine are completely different from this.
The indication for accurate location of acupuncture points in traditional Chinese medicine is not to show you clearly where they are like in the anatomy of Western medicine, but whether the patient feels it or whether the treatment is effective. Therefore, the universal principle of TCM acupoints in textbooks becomes Schrödinger's cat when it comes to individuals.
Cao Zhao made a joke about this, telling the truth and not joking, saying: "Everyone knows where it is in Zusanli."
Zusanli point is an acupoint on the human body that ordinary people are extremely familiar with. Cao Zhao continued: "My grandma gave her the Zusanli point for moxibustion and moved it a little bit every once in a while."
What do you think would happen if this were put into Western medicine? Ah, the bone nerve is displaced? Knowing that Brother Cao had good intentions, Xie Wanying said: "Acupoint is not a point, it may refer to an area like some terms in Western medical anatomy."
Cao Zhao: My ==, grandma didn’t tell me what I used to play, so she tricked me.
Grandma Cao: You are such a fun-loving person, what serious things can I talk to you for nothing?
The Western doctors around me all understood: Dr. Xie Wanying at least knew more about Chinese medicine than they did.
Even so, everyone is worried about Dr. Xie and continue to remain skeptical.
How to find the precise acupuncture points in an area that can be used for this treatment also sounds mysterious.
Meals need to be eaten one bite at a time. Since traditional Chinese medicine technology has been "criticized" by Western doctors as being slow, it should be done step by step in a down-to-earth manner.
Dr. Wen Zihan was giving remote guidance on the phone while preparing to leave and walk to the operating room.
Mr. Wen is a responsible doctor after all, and he does not just hand over the patients to others casually.
Is this patient case difficult? At least the emotional problem is not a life-threatening illness. In addition, Mr. Wen himself has been in contact with this patient before and knows the patient well, so he decided to let Sister Xie practice and learn more about traditional Chinese medicine techniques.
It can be seen that Dr. Wen Zihan knows that she wants to stay at Western Hospital. It is not whether she can stay, but only if her colleagues understand her skills better and even experience her skills firsthand.
The unity and collaboration valued in the medical circle is based on a full understanding of each other's technologies. Western medicine doctors have already learned the comprehensive basic knowledge of various subjects of Western medicine in school classes, and there is no such thing as a chicken-and-duck talk. Western doctors who have never studied traditional Chinese medicine in school have a relatively large academic gap with traditional Chinese medicine doctors, which needs to be filled through joint efforts.
Sister Xie is different. This is why she chose Sister Xie to try first.
Dr. Fu Xinheng and other Western doctors: Okay, we can see that you can’t wait to teach this student Xie.
