Ji Fengwen sat down in the front and invited the others to take their seats. He smiled and said, "Xiao Yue, Xiao Yun, Xiao Ren, and the others just now did a very good job of analyzing things. If anyone else has any questions, please raise them. As I said this morning, we should encounter a problem, solve it, break it down, and thoroughly understand it. Only when we understand it thoroughly can we truly master it."

Yang Jian raised his hand

Ji Fengwen smiled and said, "Xiao Yang, go ahead."

"Mr. Ji, Dr. Yun, Dr. Ren, and I have just carefully reviewed the patient's medical records. Previously, the patient was treated with not only diuretics but also cardiotonic drugs. To some extent, do cardiotonic drugs also have a strengthening effect?"

Yang Jian stood up and asked.

Ji Fengwen pressed his hand, motioning Yang Jian to sit down, and said with a smile, "Xiao Yang, this is a very good question. The current situation of Traditional Chinese Medicine is not very optimistic. Many Western doctors do not really recognize Traditional Chinese Medicine. At the same time, many of our Traditional Chinese Medicine doctors actually dislike Western medicine from the bottom of their hearts. Both extremes are wrong."

"Whether it's traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine, both are used to treat illnesses and save lives. Western medicine can learn from traditional Chinese medicine, and we traditional Chinese medicine can also refer to Western medicine to discover the differences and distinctions between them. This way, we can actually accurately grasp the pathogenesis of the disease when treating patients."

Ji Fengwen stood up, walked to the blackboard, and drew a picture on it.

"In actual clinical practice, most of the patients we meet have first seen Western medicine, but only came to see Chinese medicine because it was ineffective or ineffective."

Ji Fengwen said as he drew, "So, when we're treating patients, when they describe their symptoms, they often bring along their previous test results, Western medicine diagnoses like hepatitis, gastritis, or gastroenteritis. As a result, many of us doctors are easily influenced by modern medical disease names before we start treating them. Only when we understand the differences between Chinese and Western medicine can we break free from these influences and determine which aspects are useful to us and which are not..."

After saying that, Ji Fengwen glanced at Yang Jian and said with a smile, "Xiao Yang's question just now was a good one. The patient had previously used diuretics and cardiotonic drugs in the heart. Cardiotonic drugs do have a similar effect of strengthening the body, but why didn't they work?"

At this point, Ji Fengwen looked at everyone again: "Who knows the answer to this question?"

Yue Shaojiang frowned. He really had never understood this. He was a pure Chinese medicine practitioner and had studied clinical Chinese medicine in school. He knew nothing about Western medicine.

Others were also thinking.

Yun Heng thought about it and raised his hand.

"Xiaoyun, tell me."

Yun Heng stood up and said, "To some extent, cardiotonic drugs do have a similar effect of 'tonifying the body'. However, cardiotonic drugs work by stimulating the body's own potential and mobilizing the body's reserve functions. The short-term effect is obvious, but the effect is difficult to last, and it is relatively exhausting to the human body. Traditional Chinese medicine's tonifying the body is more focused on replenishing the body, and tonifying the body is done in a supplementary way..."

"It's like... it's like an axle. Due to long-term rotation, the axle malfunctions. The role of the cardiotonic is equivalent to cleaning out the dust and other things inside. After cleaning, the axle may temporarily turn easily, but after a long time, it will be damaged. The Chinese medicine's strengthening method is to clean out the dust inside and add lubricating oil. It not only cleans out the dust that hinders the axle's rotation, but also protects and lubricates the axle, which can ensure the axle's use longer..."
