Dr. Yin suspects that the ancient Chinese medicine concept of dampness is a myth. We need to talk about what the ancient Chinese medicine concept of dampness means. Should modern Chinese medicine inherit the "dampness" in ancient Chinese medicine?

“Clinical medicine is a practical discipline.”

No matter how negative it is, practical disciplines only recognize facts, and as long as the effect is effective, that is the kingly thing.

Western medicine clinical practice also follows this rule, as long as the disease is cured first, victory is achieved.

It has been clinically proven that the etiology theory that TCM categorizes dampness has miraculous effects on clinical efficacy, so why not use it?

Modern Chinese medicine is going back to study dampness, just like Western medicine is doing retrospective research on phenomena that are effective in clinical treatment.

Don't think that only modern medicine does this. Ancient Chinese medicine doctors have been doing retrospective research to support the discoveries of their predecessors all the time, and there are historical records of this.

The reason why ancient Chinese medicine failed to form a modern scientific system like Western medicine is because the overall scientific system in China was backward at that time. It is absolutely not right to let Chinese medicine take the blame alone.

Now that the domestic scientific system has developed, traditional Chinese medicine must develop together with it.

...

...

Sometimes they say that Chinese medicine is not a system inherited from our ancestors and is not Chinese medicine; sometimes they accuse Chinese medicine of not being scientific enough.

Do these people have good intentions towards Chinese medicine? Do they really understand Chinese medicine?

The two Western medicine doctors at the scene looked solemn when they heard this.

During his academic presentations, Wen Zihan spoke in a calm tone and never complained.

Maybe the calmer she is and the more she speaks of facts, the more people can see the hardships of modern Chinese medicine practitioners: on the one hand, they are scolded by Chinese medicine haters, and on the other hand, they are scolded by Chinese medicine fans. The environment in which modern Chinese medicine practitioners live in is definitely that they are not accepted by both sides.

Given Dr. Wen Zihan's family background, she could have chosen a smooth career in Western medicine. Why did she ultimately choose the most difficult path in medicine?

Doctor Tong's eyes sparkled behind his sunglasses.

It is impossible to explain all the medical principles in a short period of time. What can impress patients and their families is always the doctor's own attitude towards research.

Dr. Wen’s academic attitude is clearly revealed in his expression: too serious.

Yin Fengchun expressed his opinion: "Please ask Dr. Wen to treat my wife."

Dr. Wen convinced her husband, and Wu Lixuan was very happy because she liked Dr. Wen more and more.

Look at how considerate Dr. Wen is, just like her best friend Xie. She smiled and said to her, "Girls are more afraid of needles. I'll treat you in a more comfortable way."

As he spoke, Wen Zihan opened the drawer under the examination table and took out a plastic board.

The plastic board is divided into several equal small grids, and the "small black stones" placed in the grids are fenugreek seeds, a kind of traditional Chinese medicine.

There is medical tape on the board, which is divided into grids and each piece of tape is pasted with a fenugreek seed.

Then use medical tweezers to tear off each piece of tape with fenugreek seeds and use them. Unlike Western medicine, which is used to treat human wounds, it is attached to the acupuncture points on the human body for treatment. Therefore, it is a kind of acupuncture therapy.

The definition of "needle" in acupuncture is very broad, and many things can be used as "needles" in acupuncture. The fenugreek seeds here are the "needles".

Before treatment, the patient must have a clear diagnosis, is it dampness?

"She is very angry."

Isn't the excessive fire completely different from the external invasion of cold and dampness mentioned earlier, which is internal heat and external cold?

Yin Fengchun asked: "How come I heard that external cold and internal heat can coexist?"

Traditional Chinese medicine allows for the coexistence of external cold and internal heat, but the same logic as Western medicine is that when multiple causes coexist, the main cause should be treated. This needs no explanation.

Doctor Yin: ...I'm stupid.

What made him feel even more stupid was that Dr. Wen put two seeds of Vaccaria into the patient's ears, and that was the end of the treatment?
