Chapter 896: Using Western Medicine Standards for Traditional Chinese Medicine



On the second floor of the North Outpatient Department of Four Seasons Hospital, there is an antique Chinese medicine clinic.

Completely different from the modern Four Seasons Hospital, the overall style of the Chinese Medicine Clinic, including the furniture, is decorated in the style of traditional Chinese medical clinics and drug stores.

Even the tables and chairs used by the doctors are made of authentic huanghuali and red sandalwood collected by Chen Xia, and are absolutely high-end and classy.

The TCM clinic is divided into departments such as TCM Internal Medicine, TCM Orthopedics, TCM Gynecology, TCM Pediatrics, Acupuncture, Physical Therapy, and Chinese Medicine Pharmacy.

Of course, the Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic of Four Seasons Hospital also has a special department: Traditional Chinese Medicine Men's Department.

As for what disease it is treated for, ahem, all men know it, because sildenafil is only available here.

The number of patients who come for treatment every day is limited. The numbers available for 7 days a week are snapped up in an instant as soon as they are released.

If Four Seasons Hospital had not cracked down on the Huang Nian gang, ordinary patients would probably not be able to get a number.

The reason is very simple, because all the Chinese medicine doctors who see patients are big names in the domestic Chinese medicine community, and are known as "great masters" in the world.

He is a real big boss, not a parallel import, and certainly not a liar like "Zhang Ludou School".

When selecting Chinese medicine doctors, Chen Xia was not limited to the academic school. He also recruited folk doctors who were well-known among the people and had excellent medical ethics and skills into the hospital.

Among these doctors, the most famous are more than 20 "national famous Chinese medicine practitioners" from all over the country.

For example, Mr. Lu Zhengzhi is good at treating difficult diseases such as vertigo, spleen and stomach diseases, rheumatism, and internal medicine;

Mr. Tang Xudong is good at treating difficult spleen and stomach diseases.

Mr. Zhou Ande, a national-level acupuncturist.

Mr. Ma Rou, who specializes in blood diseases.

Mr. Zhou Huashao, who specializes in treating various neurological diseases such as intractable headaches, etc.

There is also Mr. Wang Yinlin, a famous Chinese medicine pediatrician known as the "King of Traditional Chinese Medicine" in Beijing, and Mr. Chai Shunyan, a well-known "gynecological master" in Shanghai, and so on.

It took Vice President Kang Chengtao a lot of effort to invite this group of old men and women to Four Seasons Hospital.

In fact, these national-level Chinese medicine practitioners have already become famous and are not very willing to move. After all, they are old and do not want to start over in an unfamiliar environment.

However, when Four Seasons Hospital offered an annual salary of 200,000 Hong Kong dollars, many famous Chinese medicine practitioners were tempted.

Old Chinese medicine practitioners also need to make a living. Even if they don’t make a living themselves, they still have to think about their descendants.

Moreover, in the 1980s and 1990s, these famous Chinese medicine practitioners were all within the system, receiving fixed salaries from the hospital. They were very famous but had very little money. Even with government subsidies, their salary was only twice that of ordinary employees.

For example, Mr. Lu Zhengzhi, the retired vice president of China University of Chinese Medicine, only received a monthly pension plus outpatient allowance of 500 yuan, which was considered a high salary in 1990.

A number with him costs 5 yuan, which is already the treatment of a national-level famous Chinese medicine doctor.

So, in that era, those who made atomic bombs were not as good as those who sold tea eggs, and the value of intellectuals was very difficult to reflect.

Then Four Seasons Hospital came along and offered Mr. Lu a job in Yuezhou with an annual salary of HK$200,000. How could the old man not be tempted? After all, he still had five children and eight grandchildren.

Not all children of doctors can become successful. Most of them can only work in factories, and their work and life are very hard.

Like the native residents of the capital, most of them live in "slums" with very poor living environment. It is cold in winter and hot in summer. They have to go to the entrance of the alley to go to the toilet. Who doesn't want to live in a company building?

If Mr. Lu doesn't want it, how can his children not want it?

Now that he has the opportunity to earn a high salary and allow his family to buy a house, the old man still chose to go to Yuezhou. He owed his family too much in the first half of his life, and he wants to make up for it in the second half.

Moreover, Four Seasons Hospital also offered a condition that attracted the old Chinese medicine practitioners.

That is, they are allowed to select their own apprentices, with no limit on the number, and pass on their skills in the traditional apprenticeship method. All expenses during the apprentice's medical training will be borne by Four Seasons Hospital, and they will also be given the treatment of formal employees.

(Of course, there is a prerequisite, that is, you want to work in Four Seasons Hospital in the future)

This made the old men and women very happy.

For example, acupuncturist Dr. Zhou Ande brought both of his grandsons to Yuezhou.

His two grandsons failed to get into university because of their poor college entrance examination results. Studying medicine did not make money at that time, so they had to go to work in factories.

Now, Four Seasons Hospital not only covers all teaching expenses, but also provides high salary and benefits. In the future, there is also the opportunity to obtain a graduation certificate from the Hong Kong Margaret School of Medicine.

In this way, Zhou Ande's two grandsons can learn acupuncture techniques from him with peace of mind, and the old man's skills will not be left without successors.

This policy of Four Seasons Hospital is equivalent to the ancient "yinzi" policy.

With the participation of more than 20 national-level famous Chinese medicine practitioners and more than 10 famous folk Chinese medicine practitioners, the Chinese Medicine Clinic of Four Seasons Hospital has suddenly become the most powerful "Chinese Medicine Department" in the country.

Chen Xia had some reservations about traditional Chinese medicine, but he could not resist the superstition of old ladies like his grandmother and mother-in-law. If Chen Xia and Gu Lin had not objected, the triplets would have been given Chinese medicine long ago.

Even when Gu Wei sometimes has back pain, he would habitually go to the Chinese medicine clinic and ask these famous Chinese medicine doctors to give him a few injections or cupping, and the effect is very certain.

Chen Xia has found so many famous Chinese medicine practitioners, not only to make use of their fame, but now also to make use of their knowledge.

Conference room of the Chinese medicine clinic.

Chen Xia invited all these famous Chinese medicine practitioners to hold a symposium with the theme of "The Future of Traditional Chinese Medicine."

When they heard that Pumpkin Vine Pharmaceutical was planning to research traditional Chinese medicine and vigorously support traditional Chinese medicine, all the old men and women were very excited.

Times have changed. Young people today are more willing to believe in Western medicine. In their eyes, traditional Chinese medicine is backward, ignorant, and witch doctor-like "pseudoscience."

This really hurt these famous Chinese medicine practitioners of the older generation.

Now a Hong Kong-funded hospital has come out and said it wants to support traditional Chinese medicine, research traditional Chinese medicine, and promote traditional Chinese medicine to the world. How can they not be excited?

The most experienced Chinese medicine practitioner, Lu Zhengzhi, asked anxiously:

"Xiao Chen, are you serious? Are you really willing to provide $100 million to support traditional Chinese medicine?"

The more than 30 famous Chinese medicine practitioners sitting in the conference room all looked surprised and whispered to each other.

Chen Xia smiled and said:

"Yes, $100 million is just a starting point, and we may add more in the future. We will not only collect those ancient and secret prescriptions, but also conduct research on them, and then make them into Chinese patent medicines and promote them nationwide and around the world, so that everyone can appreciate Chinese medicine."

Mr. Tang Xudong asked:

"Xiao Chen, how do you plan to develop Traditional Chinese Medicine? Will you use traditional methods, or will you use methods similar to Western medicine?"

"Well, it should be based on traditional Chinese medicine formulas and extracted using modern Western medicine methods. In addition, relevant dosage and toxic side effects must be studied. It will not be put on the market until it is mature."

"Using Western medicine?"

For a moment, all these old Chinese medicine practitioners frowned.
