Siheyuan: My Northeastern Farmhouse

Chapter 141 What is science? (Foreshadowing Chapter)

Seeing that Dr. Meng was stuck, Gu Weijun smiled and asked, "Or what is the definition of science?"

It’s no wonder that Dr. Meng is stuck, because there are more than 100 definitions of science in the West.
Seeing Dr. Meng's delay in answering, Gu Weijun smiled and gave the first answer: "The definition of science in the "Encyclopedia" published by the French is: Science is first different from common sense. Science seeks order among things through classification. . Furthermore, science seeks to explain things by revealing the laws that govern them."

Gu Weijun looked at Dr. Meng's blushing face and stabbed him again, "You should know about Einstein, right? If not, then you should know about Gregor Mendel!"

"His genetic discovery is an important scientific discovery, right? Then you should also know how he discovered it, right? By constantly planting peas, and then observing the growth traits and numbers of the peas for experimental control, counting and analysis! "

Gu Weijun was so rested that he continued to say with a smile: "So what is science?"

“Science is about organizing facts, discovering patterns, and drawing conclusions.”

"Oh, by the way, I didn't say this, it was Darwin who said it!"

Dr. Meng became a little angry and retorted sternly, "What do you want to explain? Your conclusion can only be said that Western medicine is more convincing and scientific! Western medicine can be repeatedly confirmed! But Chinese medicine cannot!"

After Dr. Meng finished venting, Gu Weijun took a sip of tea and continued to speak warmly, "Dr. Meng, don't worry! First of all, I want to make it clear: the diagnosis you are giving Mr. Li now is wrong and unscientific! "Secondly, who said that Chinese medicine is unscientific? Isn't it a scientific law that many prescriptions of Chinese medicine inherited from thousands of years ago are still effectively used today?"

"Science is just a means and tool for studying the world!"

"Instead of truth!"

After listening to Gu Weijun's evaluation of the diagnosis given to Mr. Li by the hospital, Dr. Meng calmed down. He subconsciously ignored Gu Weijun's scientific explanation and scorned Gu Weijun's Western medical diagnosis. "Who dares to comment on the diagnosis given to Mr. Li by our hospital? Give you the courage? Do you understand Western medicine? I don’t know the heights of the sky!"

Gu Weijun looked up at Mr. Li and Principal Jiang and fell into deep thought. If he continued to speak, he would be exposed.
Seeing that Gu Weijun remained silent, Dr. Meng returned to his arrogant look, "Little comrade, I understand your desire to clear up the name of Chinese medicine, but you don't continue to embarrass yourself if you only know a little about it. You'd better learn knowledge well." Bar!"

Hearing this, Gu Weijun looked at Mr. Li again. Although he was not familiar with Mr. Li, he also knew that he gave up his superior life in the United States and returned to China to serve as a professor at Harbin Institute of Technology, Peking University, and Tsinghua University, and as the head of the Department of Mechanical Engineering!And Mr. Li is also a high-end leader who has taken on major national issues!
Therefore, after Gu Weijun discovered that he was ill, he not only considered technical cooperation, but also sincerely hoped that people like Mr. Li could take care of their health and make more services and contributions to the country!
This can be regarded as indirectly serving the country!

But after Gu Weijun glanced at Dr. Meng, the corners of his mouth curled up in disdain, and he continued to remain silent. Even if he was exposed, he might not be able to convince the other party. You can never wake up someone who is pretending to sleep!
Why bother?Medicine cures diseases, and Buddha saves destined people!
Seeing Gu Weijun fall silent, Dr. Meng seemed to have won a beautiful victory and continued to sneer at Gu Weijun, "Traditional Chinese medicine, a feudal dross that has survived for thousands of years, should be swept into the trash!"

Gu Weijun raised his head and glanced at Principal Jiang Nanxiang and continued to remain silent.
The living room fell into silence again. Secretary Huang broke the silence with a "haha" smile and stood up at the same time, "Principal Jiang, Mr. Li, you are taking the liberty today! I don't think those of us with mud-legged backgrounds can reach the threshold of Tsinghua University!"

As Secretary Huang stood up, Factory Manager Nie, Dad Gu, and Gu Weijun also stood up one after another.Director Huang cupped his hands and said, "Goodbye!" After saying that, he took the lead and turned around to leave.

"Wait!" Principal Jiang immediately stood up and stopped him. If Secretary Huang and others from the steel rolling mill were to leave Li Youshan's house, it would be a serious political incident if word spread!Moreover, student Gu Weijun could obviously continue to refute the gastroenterologist at the Union Medical College but did not. On the one hand, he may be worried about the face of Mr. Li and his wife; on the other hand, he may be worried about affecting the reputation of Tsinghua University!

Although the scene was already ugly, it really made Dr. Meng unable to get off the stage. With the petty character shown by this doctor, I am afraid that it will be widely publicized that Tsinghua students are arrogant and impolite, and even contradicted and questioned him in person. A professional doctor!
It was rumored that Tsinghua University was challenging its majors with amateurs. It was said on the spot that if they beat Dr. Meng, what would happen?

Principal Jiang's face was as dark as water, and he looked at Dr. Meng with cold eyes. Dr. Meng was so frightened that he stood up.Afterwards, he glanced at Mr. Li and his wife, and Principal Jiang also complained a little in his heart. Could it be that doing research all day long has eliminated all human connections and sophistication?Moreover, after Gu Weijun took your pulse before, he kindly suggested that you go to a Western medicine hospital for an in-depth examination and mutual verification!But I didn’t ask you to bring such an unreliable doctor here!
It doesn’t matter if you bring it, you can also combine traditional Chinese and Western medicine, which is a good thing!As a result, such an unreliable doctor actually questioned the medical skills of traditional Chinese medicine and made Gu Weijun and others unable to step down!Is it to show how noble you are or how good your medical skills are?Or do you just want to show off?
People understand the inclusiveness of Chinese medicine and recognize the test results of Western medicine, but what is Dr. Meng of Western medicine doing?I wish I could beat the Chinese medicine doctor to death with a stick!At least in the field of medical products, there is a clear distinction between superior and superior, not to mention that people have already found out that Mr. Li is sick through traditional Chinese medicine!

Principal Jiang stared at Gu Weijun sharply and slowly reprimanded him: "Student Gu Weijun, you have already achieved Tsinghua's "moral virtues". Can you put more effort into "continuous self-improvement"? Just say what you have to say!" Why don't you have any youthful vigor and are still secretive! Are you still a student of our Tsinghua University?"

"Where is the momentum of hitting people? Do you want me to study the results of your punishment?"

Well, when Gu Weijun heard that the principal said this, he had better reveal himself a little bit!Then Gu Weijun said to President Jiang in a slightly joking manner: "Principal, we don't have a medical major at Tsinghua University! I can't just tell everyone about a discovery that could win the Nobel Prize in Medicine and be provoked by others, right?"

Without waiting for the reaction of Principal Jiang and others, Gu Weijun asked Dr. Meng again: "Dr. Meng, I see that you graduated from a Western medical school! Can you tell me about the pathogenesis of gastric diseases that you studied?" Don't tell me that you have stomach problems just because the gastric juice is sour! That will only make me look down on you!"

"What about the secretion mechanism of gastric acid?"

Doctor Meng was smiling at first, but his face turned livid when Gu Weijun directly asked him the second question.Because Western medicine has not yet discovered the mechanism that causes gastric acid secretion, it took 2 to start testing H64 receptors, and it was only after 72 that the first H2 receptor antagonist was finally introduced. Cimetidine and cimetidine have only begun to be widely used.

The proton pump was not discovered until 73. For example, the well-known proton pump inhibitor: omeprazole was not successfully developed until 88 and was launched in 89.Billions of dollars were sold in one year!
These are all fame, fortune and career!
Doctor Meng became angry again, "I don't know, do you know that?"

Gu Weijun said in his heart that I really know, but I can't say it. Gu Weijun smiled slightly and said, "You don't care whether I know or not. If you don't even know the mechanism of the disease, how can you talk about treatment in vain?"

"So." Gu Weijun drew out his voice and pointed to his nose, "I dare to say it can be cured! Do you dare? Currently, no Western medicine doctor in the world dares to treat gastric ulcers and duodenal ulcers caused by gastric acid. Can it be cured?"

Gu Weijun's proud expression made Doctor Meng hate him so much!But there was nothing he could do, because everything Gu Weijun said was true!
