Merry ghost doctor

"My mentors are my two grandfathers. They are both in their eighties this year. How can they accept any more apprentices. Let's not say that you are a foreigner, even if you are a graduate of a university in your country. Learning Chinese medicine is still very difficult. Learn well. If you don’t have a good education for ten or eight years, don’t even think about it, and helping people to see a doctor is even more nonsense.”

Seeing his disbelieving expression, Zhang Xiaofan said, "Your Western medicine is divided into very detailed departments, such as ENT, ENT, Cardiovascular, Psychiatry, Orthopedics, Pediatrics, etc., but in our Chinese medicine department In the past, there were only internal medicine and surgery, but usually the brilliant Chinese medicine practitioners are omnipotent, and those who practice internal medicine can also be good at surgery, as is the case with famous doctors throughout the ages."

"Oh, my God, your medicine is so advanced!"

Zhang Xiaofan glanced sideways at him, if someone else said that he would take it as a curse, but when he said it from Michael's mouth, it was a bit different, seeing that his eyes were clear and sincere, he was not like those people with ulterior motives.

After Michael finished speaking, he asked again: "Doctor Zhang, I have a question I want to ask you. I wonder if it's okay?" [

Zhang Xiaofan nodded and said, "Please tell me, as long as I know, I will try my best to say it in terms you can understand, but how much you can understand depends on yourself."

"Thank you, I feel very happy chatting with you." Michael smiled, and then asked: "Dr. Zhang, according to your unique views on medicine and your excellent clinical performance, it proves that your medical skills are very superb. But why doesn't your country advocate Chinese medicine as a discipline... Oh, I'm sorry, I don't mean anything else, I just feel a little doubtful."

Zhang Xiaofan shook his head and sighed softly, and said: "The relationship here is a bit complicated, and it would be a long story to tell the truth. From the origin of Chinese civilization to modern society, the knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine has gone back and forth. From the beginning of Huangdi Neijing, we had the most systematic and intuitive direction of learning and understanding in medicine. By the Ming Dynasty, due to differences in theoretical research, this medicine had extended to many different schools, febrile disease school, Picking up Fang School, Jingfang School, Hanliang School, Vulcan School, Shanghan School, etc.; let alone which school of medicine is the most orthodox, from the perspective of a doctor, which doctor can heal people in the shortest time? If you are cured, then he is a good doctor, no matter you are from the febrile disease school or the classic prescription school, if you can't cure the disease, no matter how famous you are, it will be hard work."

Michael is an American, but the stubbornness of the Germanic nation in his bones has long been integrated into his blood, and he nodded very cautiously: "Yes, this is a concept that I completely agree with, just like my cardiovascular expert , I can't do anything about Mr. Ling's illness, but you came and cured him very effectively, which shocked me very much and aroused my interest in Chinese medicine."

Zhang Xiaofan smiled, and continued: "When it comes to Chinese medicine, we can't help but mention the entire development process of Chinese medicine; since ancient times, the dispute between the Shanghan school and the febrile disease school has been chattering endlessly. The word febrile disease first appeared in "The Yellow Emperor In the Canon of Internal Medicine and Treatise on Febrile Diseases, it is stated in the elemental questionnaire of the Yellow Emperor's Canon of Internal Medicine that, "If you are injured by cold in winter, you must be sick in spring." It also mentions that "fever and thirst, and those who do not have aversion to cold are febrile diseases", that is, these few words and phrases have created the theory of febrile diseases in later generations, and because they say that they are all febrile diseases, they advocate the use of pungent and clear solutions to treat them. Diseases have been cured by law to this day. Some people say that typhoid fever in the south is nonsense."

Zhang Xiaofan smiled lightly and said: "Febrile disease and typhoid fever are all diseases, and there is no difference between regions and solar terms. The Suwen said that 'winter hurts cold, spring must be warm', it just means that winter is easy to hurt cold Evil disease, it is very easy to get febrile disease in spring, and it is not said: winter is typhoid, and spring is febrile. Because of the unhealthy atmosphere of the four seasons, 400 years later, there was "The Treatise on the Origin of All Diseases", which listed 22 symptoms of febrile diseases, and gave the academic basis for febrile diseases. There are also four great masters, one of which is Liu Wansu, a well-known doctor at that time, based on his experience in treating febrile diseases, he also advocated the use of cold and cool medicines."

"At the end of the Ming Dynasty (the 14th year of Chongzhen), the epidemic was prevalent due to the wars that caused the people to flee from east to west, settle down, and live in hardship. At that time, doctors used typhoid methods to treat the epidemic, but it was ineffective. At that time Physician Wu Youxing, a native of Zhenze, Jiangsu Province, believed that typhoid fever and febrile disease are completely different. Febrile disease is caused by a strange qi between heaven and earth, neither wind, nor cold, nor heat, nor dampness, so in the second year, he wrote Since then, "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" has formed a special school of treating febrile diseases. Don't you know that the original text of "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" is "Treatise on Febrile Diseases". There are dozens of prescriptions for curing febrile diseases in "Treatise on Febrile Diseases". Come out and say that febrile diseases are cured by the "Treatise on Febrile Diseases"?"

Zhang Xiaofan was a little bitter as he spoke, and continued: "Our Jing Fang family adopts the six-channel syndrome differentiation method, which is different from the febrile disease school. To understand how to use this six-channel syndrome differentiation method, one must be proficient in the diagnostics of the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic. Pathology and Physiology, but few people can understand this book, but both the febrile disease school and the Shanghan school follow this book as a classic for all ages, and only the Shanghan school and the Wenbing school are really using the "Huangdi Neijing". It's just a verbal title."

"According to the six-channel syndrome differentiation method, when the human body suffers from superficial disease, it only stays at the superficial disease for about six days. If it does not recover after six days, the disease will spread to Shaoyang or Yangming. When there are superficial symptoms, use one to expel them immediately. For example, Guizhi Decoction and Mahuang Decoction in "Treatise on Febrile Diseases", these are all prescriptions for treating superficial symptoms. Compared with diseases, they can be cured with one dose. We just said that diseases From the beginning of traditional Chinese medicine, there is no reason to wait until the illness is too serious, and you can’t walk on the bed before treatment. Therefore, the design of the classic prescriptions is simple and powerful. Pay attention to one dose of knowledge, and the effect of the second dose. Medical skills The clever classics and prescriptions are all based on the six meridians to distinguish symptoms, there is no mistake, and the diagnosis is extremely accurate. All superficial symptoms are often treated with one dose. It can’t be done by febrile disease.”

Michael still felt a little strange when he heard him say this. After careful consideration, he asked: "Dr. Zhang, I have stayed here for a long time, about three months. I have seen many doctors, and they are very I like to chat with me. Everyone learns medical knowledge from each other. I also asked them about their views on Chinese medicine. These doctors are all Chinese. They all said that Chinese medicine is useful, but it is good for regulating the body. It is not good for treating diseases. One is that the time is too long, and the second is that the curative effect is too slow and the effect is not obvious, is this true?"

Zhang Xiaofan was furious after hearing this, smashed the low table into pieces with a "wow", and shouted angrily, "These people are all farting!"

Michael swallowed his saliva. This is a high-quality wood, which is so hard that it can be broken with the palm of your hand. One can imagine how powerful this force is. "Doctor Zhang, don't be impulsive, violence will not solve the problem."

Zhang Xiaofan took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions and said, "Michael, do you believe what they say?"

Michael thought for a while, and said very pertinently: "Actually, I don't know much about it. In fact, there are many Chinese medicine in the United States. Western medicine is not allowed in the Chinese medicine halls in the United States, even if there is a pill. Otherwise, the police will come to ask questions. There are also many patients in our hospital who have been treated for serious illnesses and have been treated and recovered by them. At that time, we felt very strange. I went to see it once in particular, but they expressed dissatisfaction with me as a doctor. Too enthusiastic, I couldn’t understand what I said, so I had to go back to the hospital and go back to work.” At this time, he smiled and said: “I also secretly went to visit the teacher, but the old man said that I did not learn Chinese medicine. , let me go without even listening to the end of the sentence, or he will call the police. You know how our American police like to meddle in their own business."

Zhang Xiaofan laughed when he heard this, and said, "I've heard about these things, and they have the same thoughts as me, but it's useless for us to call the police here, and the police won't care about these trivial matters."

With a long sigh, he explained: "The real Chinese medicine cures very quickly, much faster than many western medicines. Let's not talk about anything else, let's take a severe cold; I believe you know that the flu is very terrible. Every year, many people die from the flu virus. However, no matter what type of virus you have, Chinese medicine only knows what the disease is and what symptoms it has in the six meridians. Excuse me, sweating and sweating, two doses after the attack can be cured. Of course, what you said is not wrong. Some Chinese medicine doctors treat medical skills as a trifling matter. Based on their own experience and imagination, they think that they can prescribe the medicine as they like, and treat whatever disease they like. , Write all the medicinal materials you know on the prescription pad, and add dozens of medicines together. After the patient finishes eating, come to the follow-up consultation. If it is useful, the prescription will be kept, and if it is not useful, the prescription will be put aside , How could he think that it is often done like this, which will ruin the reputation of Chinese medicine."

"Li Shizhen, the author of "Compendium of Materia Medica", this guy is even more stinky, and he is the one who brought Chinese medicine into a situation where there is no redemption. When people like him talk about Chinese medicine, they will say that Chinese medicine must be cured slowly and the disease will be cured. It even added and subtracted the ancient doses randomly, and even said the bullshit truth of one liang in the past and one qian today. Among the vessels unearthed from the ancient tombs of the Han Dynasty, someone discovered the containers at that time, which proved that in ancient times During the Han Dynasty, the measurement tools at that time were completely different from those of the present. The dosage standard in "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" was one tael in ancient times and five qian today, but the dosage we use now is only one-fifth of that at that time. How can it be cured if it is light?"

When Zhang Xiaofan mentioned this, he also admitted frankly, saying: "The dose I use to see a doctor now is not as large as that at that time, but usually costs about three yuan, and only five yuan for severe illness. Prescribing heavy medicines is very useful. Often a serious illness can be cured in just a few doses, and people often say that I have good medical skills, but in fact it is just that I have used the right dose. Later, I found something strange in an abstract. People in the Han Dynasty did not have much money. , Minor ailments will pass away, and only when the real illness is too serious will he go to the doctor to see a doctor. It is in that situation that Master Zhong has to use strong medicine to attack the patient, so that the patient can recover quickly and benefit the people. Even the prescriptions in "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" have large doses, but they are very effective, which is the reason."

When Michael heard this, although he felt a little foggy, he said: "Doctor Zhang, although I don't know how Chinese medicine practitioners from your country came here, I admire your perseverance, and you can express your own ideas. A kind... a kind of integrity. I am also a doctor, and my concept is the same as yours. No matter what school it is, as long as it keeps patients away from suffering in the shortest possible time, then he is an excellent doctor. "[
