National Physician: One Person Supports a Top-Tier Hospital

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?

Chapter 256: Analysis and Dialectics

"In clinical practice, Chinese medicine focuses on symptoms, also known as syndromes. If a patient complains of discomfort, it indicates that a disorder has occurred in the patient's body and the balance has been broken, and treatment is needed at this time."

"The human body's perception is the most sensitive, more accurate than any modern equipment or instrument."

"Fatigue, lethargy, pain, insomnia, poor appetite, abnormal urination and defecation, and so on—any subtle symptom is a signal from the body. Once the body has these signals, it means that the body is disordered and its balance has been broken. Even if all modern tests are normal at this time, it still means that the person is sick."

"Traditional Chinese medicine diagnoses symptoms based on these signals, rather than relying on cold machines and standard numbers."

Ji Fengwen solemnly said to Yun Heng and the others, "It's precisely because many Chinese medicine doctors nowadays have received modern education and their thinking has been influenced by modern medicine that they tend to apply modern medical thinking and pay excessive attention to the names of diseases."

"Take this patient as an example. During the diagnosis and treatment, we paid too much attention to the presence of the hepatitis B virus. We involuntarily chose antiviral herbs that clear away heat and detoxify based on modern medicine's definition of traditional Chinese medicine... The result was exactly what Yun Heng said: bitter and cold herbs that damage the stomach actually damaged the patient's spleen and stomach, affecting his appetite and absorption, leading to weight loss, decreased immunity, and an increase in symptoms."

Ji Fengwen looked at everyone and admonished them earnestly, "So, in your future treatments, you must keep this in mind. You must not be influenced by modern medical thinking in clinical practice. First and foremost, you must pay attention to cultivating traditional Chinese medicine thinking. Thinking is the most important thing for you."

Everyone nodded.

Ren Xuedong subconsciously glanced at Yun Heng, and admired Yun Heng even more in his heart.

Yun Heng had reminded Ji Fengwen of what he said today at the beginning.

"Xiaoyun, continue."

Ji Fengwen spoke a few words, gave some instructions, and then let Yun Heng continue.

Yun Heng came to the bedside, carefully observing the patient's condition, sitting beside the bed to check the patient's pulse, and asked, "How are your bowel movements?"

"My pee is fine, but my poop is loose!"

"Prone to diarrhea?"

"Well, it causes diarrhea, dry mouth, bitter taste in the mouth, and poor sleep." The patient's son said hurriedly.

"Do you have back pain and sticky eyes?"

"some!"

This time it was the patients themselves who answered.

The patient was surprised: "How did you know? I don't think I've ever mentioned these symptoms."

"I made all these inferences based on the pulse and symptoms."

Yun Heng smiled gently at the patient, asked a few more questions, released the patient's wrist, and examined the patient's tongue coating. Then he stood up and said, "The patient has symptoms such as weight loss, fatigue, and loose stools, which are all manifestations of spleen and stomach weakness. Judging from the pulse, the patient's disease should be in the spleen, not the liver. The patient's left and right Guan pulses are stringy and strong, which is also the liver pulse seen in the spleen and stomach, a sign of liver hyperactivity suppressing the spleen. Shouldn't he also have symptoms of stomach bloating and abdominal distension?"

Yun Heng asked the last sentence to the patient.

"Yes, it is."

The patient nodded repeatedly: "Doctor, you are amazing."

The patient had seen many doctors in the past two years, including several Chinese medicine practitioners, but she had never met anyone like Yun Heng who could describe her symptoms so accurately without waiting for her to speak.

The patient's son and daughter also had happy expressions on their faces.

In the past two years, they took their mother to seek medical treatment everywhere, and saw both Chinese and Western doctors. They didn't know how much Chinese medicine she had taken. It was precisely because they had taken so much Chinese medicine and seen so many Chinese doctors that when they came to Tanghua this time, even though they knew in advance that it was Ji Fengwen who would treat their mother, they did not feel confident.

So many traditional Chinese medicine practitioners have already lost too much trust from patients and their families, and the status of traditional Chinese medicine masters like Ji Fengwen in the eyes of patients and their families has also been greatly reduced and has declined seriously.

But now, Ji Fengwen has not yet gotten started, and the performance of Yun Heng, a young doctor who looks quite young, has made them regain their confidence.

Lin Yonggang, Ye Yingyun and others standing on the side were also full of admiration. They were indeed Qu Tongwen's students. Their level was really amazing, no worse than Yue Shaojiang.

Not worse than Yue Shaojiang, such a comparison is indeed a compliment to Yun Heng.

Lin Yonggang and others knew that Yun Heng had been Qu Tongwen's apprentice for not long, just before the New Year, while Yue Shaojiang was Yue Anyun's grandson and had been exposed to traditional Chinese medicine since childhood.

One has been exposed to traditional Chinese medicine since childhood, and the other started to learn traditional Chinese medicine after entering medical university. However, Yun Heng's level is no worse than Yue Shaojiang, which is really amazing.

Dang Siping's eyes were burning and his expression became much more serious.

Ji Fengwen was indeed quite good at judging people. Although Dang Siping was chatting and laughing with Yun Heng and others, he was quite proud in his heart.

The reason why Dang Siping couldn't stand Yue Shaojiang was not only because Yue Shaojiang was conceited and arrogant, but also because he was a little disdainful of Yue Shaojiang in his heart. Yue Shaojiang was powerful, but after all, he came from a famous family, a family of traditional Chinese medicine, and he had innate advantages. Dang Siping didn't think that Yue Shaojiang was much better than him. He didn't have Yue Shaojiang's innate advantages, and now he was not much worse than Yue Shaojiang. If he also came from a famous family, Yue Shaojiang would not necessarily be better than him.

But looking at Yun Heng, the arrogance in Dang Siping's heart was slowly worn away a little.

Because in Dang Siping's view, Yun Heng was the same as him. Before becoming Qu Tongwen's apprentice, Yun Heng's background was the same as his. There were no famous doctors in his family. He started to get in touch with Chinese medicine after entering university. He had been Qu Tongwen's apprentice for only more than half a year, while he had been in Xihua Hospital for more than two years.
