Chapter 436 Differences between Chinese and Western Medicine
"Good teacher Zhao."

Hearing Zhao Yifan calling her name and making herself stand up to answer the question, at this moment, Liu Hui was ecstatic. She felt like buying a lottery ticket and winning the big prize. She stood up and looked at Zhao Yifan's smile. Some trance.

Zhao Yifan frowned slightly, thinking to himself, what are you doing?

He Li next to her pinched Liu Hui's thigh with sharp eyes and quick hands.

When Liu Hui was in pain, she came back to her senses immediately, and saw Zhao Yifan frowning at this moment, she was startled, coughed lightly, and said quickly: "Mr. Zhao, I personally think that Chinese medicine is not as good as Western medicine, um, it should be Maybe it’s not rigorous enough, for example, Western medicine has scientific proofs for diseases, while our Chinese medicine talks about some very mysterious things, such as yin and yang and five elements.”

Zhao Yifan nodded, and said lightly, "Well, sit down."

Liu Hui sat down, feeling a little uneasy, wondering if Zhao Yifan was satisfied with her answer?
"What Liu Hui said makes sense."

Zhao Yifan continued her words and said: "In this era, in terms of the rigor of medical treatment, it seems to outsiders that Chinese medicine is indeed a little unreliable, because many viewpoints cannot be scientifically demonstrated. In comparison, Western medicine seems to be easier to demonstrate the disease, and it is also in line with the public's worldview."

After a pause, Zhao Yifan said: "Actually, personally, I think that many of you present here today should study Western medicine instead."

"what?"

"My God, did I hear you right?"

"Why did Mr. Zhao say that?"

Hearing what Zhao Yifan said, the students in the classroom, even Tang Yuntao, were stunned.

"Do you know why I say that?"

Zhao Yifan took everyone's surprised expressions into his eyes, put his hands behind his back, walked a few steps on the podium, and said lightly: "Because Western medicine has established a mature theoretical system, and this theoretical system has been continuously revised for decades. It is perfect and has reached the point where many people can quickly learn it. If everyone here changes their profession to study Western medicine, I believe that in a few years, they will definitely become qualified doctors."

The students in the classroom peeped at each other, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in Zhao Yifan's gourd.

"For example, if we can see rising from the east and setting to the west every day, we can draw a conclusion from this that the earth rotates from west to east."

Zhao Yifan said indifferently: "But if this conclusion is to convince many people, it must go through various experimental demonstrations. After the final demonstration results are presented, the public will believe that the earth really rotates from west to east. instead of the sun revolving around the earth."

After a pause, Zhao Yifan continued: "This is just like our traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine. Chinese medicine pays attention to seeing, smelling and inquiring about the patient. By observing the patient's complexion, smelling the smell, asking about the symptoms and taking the pulse, we can judge what the patient has. disease, such as this classmate."

Speaking of this, Zhao Yifan casually pointed to a boy sitting in the first row listening to the class, and said, "I will prescribe a prescription for you before get out of class ends, and it will cure your asthma."

"what?"

The boy's jaw dropped in shock, and he looked at Zhao Yifan dumbfounded: "Mr. Zhao, how do you know that I have asthma?"

"When you laughed just now, I heard your voice, so I can guess that you have asthma."

Zhao Yifan smiled and said: "This is just the basic skills of Chinese medicine. Okay, let's go on, for example, this classmate's asthma, I just need to observe his words, look, and listen to his voice, and I can tell. But if you go to a Western doctor If it is a case, it must go through a series of examinations, and finally the examination results can be used to confirm that he has asthma."

After a pause, Zhao Yifan glanced around at everyone, and said lightly: "This is the difference between Chinese medicine and Western medicine. Chinese medicine speculates and judges a patient's illness from various clues and symptoms, while Western medicine uses the results to determine whether you have a certain disease." This kind of disease, in real life, if a person dies, for example, the body is cold and not breathing, I believe that without any identification, people with a little common sense will know that he must be dead; but Western medicine declares death, it is Need to check if the brain is dead, only brain dead can you conclude, well, this person is dead."

"so."

Zhao Yifan paused for a moment, then said emphatically, "I personally think that Chinese medicine is indeed inferior to Western medicine in terms of rigor."

Everyone couldn't help laughing immediately.

"Back to business."

Zhao Yifan tapped on the podium lightly, and said: "I just said that most of you here study Western medicine, and after a few years, you will become a qualified Western medicine. The results of the examination can be used to prescribe the right medicine. But then again, if you don’t study Western medicine, but study Chinese medicine seriously, do you know what will happen to you in ten years’ time?”

"do not know."

The asthmatic student blurted out automatically.

"You will become a famous doctor."

Zhao Yifan smiled, "That's what the common people call a miracle doctor!" He continued: "So I think, if your ambition is only to be a qualified doctor, then you should change your career to study Western medicine immediately; but if you want to If you want to become a famous doctor like Dean Tang, you have to study hard and earnestly. After all, Chinese medicine is a profession that requires continuous accumulation of experience. On this road, what is needed is continuous exploration, accumulation, It was a very hard walk, and many people couldn't persevere, fell short of their achievements, and turned their heads and left halfway."

He glanced at the students present and said: "There are many students here who are too impetuous, so I say, many of you are suitable to study Western medicine, because Western medicine has a complete knowledge and theory system, which can make you become A qualified doctor, but if you don't want to be like Dean Tang, you have to calm down first."

All the students suddenly realized, no wonder Zhao Yifan said that just now.

The student with asthma first nodded, then shook his head, sighed inexplicably, with a melancholy and confused look on his face.

This expression made Zhao Yifan quite interesting. He pointed to him and said, "Student, what are you thinking? Can you share your thoughts with everyone?"

"what?"

The student was stunned for a moment, then his face turned red, he stood up, and said awkwardly: "Mr. Zhao, I was thinking that sometimes I feel that Chinese medicine doesn't work, or even useless, but you make me feel that Chinese medicine is amazing. I don't know why I have such an idea."

"Yes."

"Me too."

Immediately, several students spoke in agreement.

This student spoke out their aspirations. As students of the School of Chinese Medicine, they sometimes feel that Chinese medicine can't cure any disease, and after a few medicines, there is no effect at all; but after meeting Zhao Yifan, they feel that this Chinese medicine It's too amazing!

It's completely contradictory.

"There is a saying called, use the facts to speak." Zhao Yifan didn't bother to explain so much, smiled, and said: "If Chinese medicine doesn't work, it won't be handed down for so many years, right?"

"It is."

The student scratched his head, turned his eyes, and bravely said to Zhao Yifan: "Mr. Zhao, I think you are not a few years older than us. Why are your medical skills so good?"

Zhao Yifan couldn't help laughing, waved his hands, and said, "I'm indeed young, but when I was a teenager, I went around diagnosing and treating others, so speaking from experience, I can be considered an old Chinese doctor."

"So it is."

Everyone suddenly realized and felt relieved.

After the boy sat down, Zhao Yifan continued: "In addition to today's class, this is the second class I give to you. In the first class, I focused on the four diagnostic methods of observation, hearing, asking, and measuring. But today, I still have to tell you this, do you know the reason?"

A group of students shook their heads again and again.

Liu Hui frowned and pondered for a while, then suddenly her beautiful eyes lit up and she raised her hand.

Since she was the only one raising her hand, Zhao Yifan had no choice but to call her name again: "Student Liu Hui, tell me."

"Mr. Zhao, you just said that Chinese medicine is not as rigorous as Western medicine. For example, Western medicine will only announce that the patient is really dead after diagnosing brain death."

Liu Hui playfully quoted Zhao Yifan's previous words, and immediately she continued: "Then I think this is caused by the difference in diagnostic methods between Chinese medicine and Western medicine, and our diagnostic method of looking, listening, asking, and palpation seems ancient and simple, but in fact It is complicated and profound, and no matter any famous doctor or genius doctor can avoid this process, it belongs to the basic skills of traditional Chinese medicine, so today you are going to look, hear, ask, feel and diagnose, is that right?"

Zhao Yifan smiled, nodded, and said, "Sit down."

"Mr. Zhao, you haven't said that my answer is correct?"

Liu Hui couldn't help but said that she didn't realize that the tone of her speech was unconsciously a little coquettish.

"I can only say that part of it is right."

Zhao Yifan smiled and said: "The method of looking, hearing, asking, and palpation seems ancient and simple, but in fact it is complicated and profound. Chinese medicine's observation, hearing, questioning and understanding are much more advanced than Western medicine's seemingly modern diagnosis process!"

"Oh?"

"why?"

The students in the classroom were stunned when they heard it. When they came back to their senses, everyone couldn't help but have an idea in their hearts.

Does Zhao Yifan's words belittle Western medicine and promote Chinese medicine?
