Why do experts and directors from various top-tier hospitals frequently appear at a community clinic? Why do nationally renowned experts and professors often visit a township-level health center?
"Xiao Yun has met his match."
Ma Tiequan and Liang Wanming sat together and watched the debate in Haizhou Province.
This debate in Haizhou Province is still a hot topic, and many people across the country are paying attention to it.
Nowadays, it is very convenient. There are various live broadcast platforms. Even if there is no official live broadcast, there is still attention from self-media.
"Compared to Xiaoyun, it's far inferior. I can only say that she's a little clever."
Liang Wanming smiled and said, "Although Xiaoyun also likes to use this statement, every word she says is well-founded and not simply a substitution of concepts."
"That's all I said."
Ma Tiequan said, "Besides, a debate is mainly about debate. It doesn't necessarily mean that Wen Hailong himself agrees with this point of view. I think Wen Hailong is very good."
"West Asia Hospital is going to recruit more talents."
Liang Wanming smiled and said, "At least this granddaughter of Mr. Zhong can't escape. I'm a little envious of Dean Qi."
Speaking of Qi Yaping, Liang Wanming felt a little dazed.
When he went to Xiya Hospital for the first time, what was the situation at Xiya Community Hospital and what was Qi Yaping's condition?
At that time, Liang Wanming never dreamed that West Asia Hospital would be what it is today, Qi Yaping would become the director of a Grade A hospital, and West Asia Hospital would be full of talented people.
"That's also our Xihua City hospital!"
Old Ma said with a smile: "When I retire, I will go to West Asia Hospital to be a department director and enjoy my retirement."
Liang Wanming glanced at Ma Tiequan and said, "I'm afraid you won't be qualified by then."
"You're still a few years away from retirement, Old Ma. By the time you retire, the young doctors at West Asia Hospital will have left you far behind."
Ma Tiequan: “…”
Damn, what Lao Liang said does make some sense.
Yun Heng has only been working at West Asia Hospital for two years, and it will take him another six or seven years to retire.
"What do the judges think?"
The host asked the judges.
"Since that's what Doctor Yun said, let Doctor Yun answer it."
Li Daquan smiled and turned the topic over to Yun Heng again.
"Let Xiaoyun talk about it."
Fang Zhiyan also smiled and nodded.
"Doctor Yun!"
The host spoke politely to Yun Heng.
Yun Heng smiled and said, "Traditional Chinese Medicine is inclusive and tolerant. It is indeed true that tolerance is the root of greatness. In fact, since its birth, Traditional Chinese Medicine has been constantly progressing and improving, rather than blindly sticking to the old ways."
"From the early days of eating raw meat and drinking blood, to the gradual classification of Chinese medicinal materials, and from the earliest stone needles to the various types of acupuncture needles today, Chinese medicine has been constantly progressing and has never been complacent."
"If integrity is the trunk, then innovation should be the branches and leaves. Any innovation must be based on the trunk so that the branches and leaves can flourish, rather than tearing down the entire tree and planting a new one."
“In fact, I personally am not against innovation in traditional Chinese medicine.”
Yun Heng said slowly, "At the Dongjiang Provincial Expo, I also discussed the issue of load-bearing walls in traditional Chinese medicine. As long as the load-bearing walls are there, any renovation or modification is allowed, as long as it's reasonable. But no matter how you modify it, the foundation cannot be changed."
"Why is it said that Traditional Chinese Medicine must be based on TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment? It is precisely because TCM has its own unique characteristics in treating diseases. Any innovation that deviates from the foundation of Traditional Chinese Medicine is unrealistic."
"As someone has said before, we cannot deny the achievements of some medical schools and TCM hospitals in integrating Chinese and Western medicine. However, such achievements are based on a sufficient understanding of TCM. If they are divorced from reality, problems will arise."
"As for the threshold to Chinese medicine, in fact, the threshold has always been low."
Yun Heng looked at everyone and said, "Just like yesterday's topic, why should we study Ancient Medical Texts and learn about traditional ancient culture? It is because these things are the foundation for understanding Chinese medicine."
"If we hadn't learned math, physics, chemistry, biology, and natural sciences since childhood, modern medicine would still be difficult for us to understand. Many things are learned step by step. If we don't have enough accumulation before, and want to achieve success overnight, isn't that wishful thinking?"
Yun Heng looked at Wen Hailong and said, "Traditional Chinese Medicine is all about inclusion and tolerance. Tolerance is greatness. But why does this inclusion and tolerance exclude traditional culture and ancient medical texts? Isn't this kind of inclusion also selective?"
"Removing the dross doesn't mean we should just throw it away. We need to first understand what the dross is. Can we just call it dross without even looking at it?"
Yun Heng smiled and continued, "In the past two years, I've heard a new term called Chinglish. It's quite interesting because it's sparked quite a bit of discussion."
"Some people think English is difficult to learn. Since we have British English and American English, why can't we have Chinese English? Can't foreigners understand it? If they don't understand it, can't they guess? Don't they have brains?"
When Yun Heng said this, many people laughed.
Especially some students and young people, most of them have heard some memes about "Chinglish" on the Internet.
"But why are so many people against it? What's the purpose of learning English? If you change it haphazardly, is it still English? Is there any point in learning it?"
Yun Heng's voice rose as he spoke: "Even for English, everyone has such an understanding that messy changes will be useless. But why should Traditional Chinese Medicine be messed up? Just because it's difficult, can we just make random changes?"
"Because it's difficult, instead of looking for the reasons within ourselves, we have to change it?"
"Ladies and gentlemen, Chinese medicine is ultimately medicine, and it is used to treat illnesses and save lives. Any irresponsible innovation is irresponsible to patients. Chinese medicine has learned enough lessons time and time again."
Yun Heng slowly stood up and said, "Today, modern medicine has become quite advanced. At this moment, I personally feel that the country really does not lack one or two ordinary doctors, but elite doctors. What Chinese medicine lacks are national masters..."
"Whether it's upholding the orthodoxy or innovating, it's all based on an absolute understanding and knowledge of Chinese medicine. Changes should be made based on the original foundation. If you find Chinese medicine difficult to understand, you can translate it, translating ancient texts that are difficult for the public to understand into vernacular Chinese. This allows for a more accessible interpretation of Chinese medicine, rather than trying to dig deep into its roots..."
As Yun Heng finished speaking, applause broke out again.
"Dr. Yun's explanation is so good. If you really don't understand, you can translate it or get annotations. There are many things you can do."
"I admire Dr. Yun so much. Dr. Yun is about the same age as us, but he has such great insights."
At the scene, some young doctors and students looked at Yun Heng with burning eyes.
(Let’s just skip the debate. I really feel like my brain has been affected. Let’s change the plot and change my mind.)
