Zhao Huanzhang said to him: "Everything has pros and cons. Market-oriented reform has indeed allowed the health industry to maintain rapid growth despite insufficient financial investment. However, people's individual medical expenditures are increasing, so this is the reform of urban employee medical insurance." The reason."

Gao Yuan looked at him.

Zhao Huanzhang said: "We are all ordinary people, we can't decide anything big. But at least we can make some efforts within the scope of our ability. I know that you have always been angry in your heart, but you are not a angry person. ,Is it right?"

Gao Yuan said to him: "Just say what you want to say."

Zhao Huanzhang said: "There are many reasons for the rise in medical expenses, and the efforts we ordinary people can make are very limited. But at least there is one thing we can make a change, and that is traditional Chinese medicine!"

"Traditional Chinese medicine?" Gao Yuan didn't react at all.

Zhao Huanzhang said: "Didn't you notice? During the previous collectivization period, the barefoot doctors in the village basically used traditional Chinese medicine to treat diseases. Most diseases in the health center also used traditional Chinese medicine. The community would also organize everyone to plant some. There were usable medicinal materials, so the medical costs at that time were not high.”

"Now if you look at it, these hospitals in the city basically don't prescribe traditional Chinese medicine. Even the traditional Chinese medicine department prescribes a box of Chinese patent medicine and a box of western medicine, and it also has to be equipped with a lot of western medicine equipment for laboratory tests. Even in the countryside All health centers, including rural doctors in the villages, also prescribe Western medicine.”

"Western medicine and Western medicine are taking over most of the market step by step. I don't have any objection to Western medicine. I just want to say that Western medicine requires instrument examination for medical treatment. Western medicine is protected by patents. Their medical costs are much higher than traditional Chinese medicine."

"Nowadays, hospitals are less and less fond of using traditional Chinese medicine. The reason is that there is no income without issuing examination orders, and there is only a few yuan of profit from Chinese medicine preparations. This is why the traditional Chinese medicine department must also use a lot of western medicine examinations. Really Is it necessary and is it really useful?”

"Traditional Chinese medicine is about simplicity, low cost, and good results. During the three-year period of extreme poverty, the supply of Western medicine was very difficult. We managed to survive in the countryside by using traditional Chinese medicine. Now many people say that our clinic charges are cheap. That's because we can control costs." "

"How many people are living in a hospital now, and their work for half a year has been wasted. If they get seriously ill, undergo an operation, put a stent, and stay in the intensive care unit, half of their family will be lost. But those who come to us for medical treatment only spend a A few dollars, dozens or hundreds of dollars, wouldn’t it be the same cure?”

"Take external treatment as an example. Dr. Shen's pediatric massage only costs a few cents each time. If you go to a big hospital to see a doctor, you will get a lot of examinations and a lot of medicines prescribed, but no one will take one or two hundred treatments? Those who don't People with medical insurance, what do you want them to do?”

"I heard that some Western medicines now cost thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan per box, and you can't get better after taking them once. You have to take them every month. How much wealth can you have to avoid being drained? The research and development costs of their pharmaceutical companies are very high. Gao, it is natural to make money back, but after making money, can they lower the price? People's hearts are not enough, and the patent protection of Western medicine is 20 years. During these 20 years, what will the people do?"

"But what about Chinese medicine? For these prescriptions passed down from generation to generation, which doctor has to pay patent fees? Have you kept these famous prescriptions that you are used to? Have you applied for a patent? Even Yunnan Baiyao and Ji Desheng Snake Medicine, such secret recipes are also dedicated to the country, but how much does a box cost now?"

"Didn't they develop it after untold hardships and generations of hardships? Did they make huge profits by relying on this thing? Didn't they make the people bankrupt and unable to afford it?"

"Having said so much, there is only one thing I want to say, that is, what we can do at this stage is to raise the banner of the renaissance of traditional Chinese medicine. Use the simple and cheap methods of traditional Chinese medicine to solve the problem of difficult and expensive medical treatment for ordinary people."

"One day, the Chinese medicine doctors outside can be like you. They can save dying patients by taking a few Chinese medicines. The Chinese medicine doctors outside can be like Dr. Shen. They can set bones and reset them with just a move of their hands. Massage and acupuncture can heal them. When it comes to treating illnesses, will the cost of medical treatment still be a problem at that time?”

"I have only seen people who went bankrupt after surgery and took Western medicine. I rarely see people who went into debt because of taking Chinese medicine. There are a few people who went to see Chinese medicine and made themselves poor due to illness. ?I don’t reject Western medicine, but our Chinese medicine can really do more!" Gao Yuan fell into deep thought, and murmured: "Use the simple and cost-effectiveness of Chinese medicine to solve the problem of expensive medical treatment..."

Zhao Huanzhang said: "You may not care about fame and fortune, but if you want to realize your ideals, you must become famous, become an authority, and become a booster for Chinese medicine practitioners!"

Then, Gao Yuan suddenly raised his head and ran to his desk to look for it.

Shen Congyun asked him: "What are you looking for?"

Gao Yuan said: "Where did that business card go? I threw it here before."

"Put it away for you." Zhao Huanzhang handed the business card to Gao Yuan.

Gao Yuan looked up at him.

Zhao Huanzhang smiled.

Gao Yuan also smiled and said: "Thank you."

Zhao Huanzhang just said calmly: "Old man, no need to say thank you."

Gao Yuan took the business card and made a call: "Hello, is this Editor-in-Chief Zhou? I'm Gao Yuan..."

Zhao Huanzhang walked outside the door and looked up at the starry sky. From time to time, dark clouds drifted by, as if it was going to rain, but the bright moon was still bright and the sky was unpredictable. He whispered: "Is it time for the weather to change?"

……

At night, Gao Yuan turned on the desk lamp, picked up a pen and paper, and pondered for a while. Many memories flashed before his eyes. Then, he sighed and started writing: "Being able to become a Chinese medicine doctor is the greatest blessing in my life. The most gratifying adventure in my life is that I have been practicing medicine for more than [-] years. It seems like two lifetimes ago. I work hard and dare not slack off. As a rural doctor, I dare not call myself an expert and only use my humble tricks for the appreciation of my colleagues. and criticism.”

"I have been practicing medicine all my life in vast rural areas. The rural areas are poor, and farmers are even more miserable. Therefore, I have never dared to talk about medical treatment easily. When I seek treatment, most of the diseases have developed into serious diseases. In the countryside where there is a shortage of medical treatment and medicine, there is no modern medical equipment. , what can be used is nothing more than the simplest traditional Chinese medicine methods. Over time, I have accumulated a little experience in treating serious diseases. "

"Traditional Chinese medicine has its own unique advantages in treating serious illnesses. The method is simple, easy, safe, and effective, with a high success rate and low cost. It often takes one or two doses to make a difference and make a difference, which is very popular among rural people. Congratulations. For heart failure diseases, I have created a self-made prescription that is very effective. I have saved hundreds of critically ill patients. I am writing it down on paper now. I hope my colleagues will give me some advice..."
