"Yun Heng, Mr. Qu and I have both read the paper you sent him yesterday."
After a few small talk, Yue Anyun finally got to the point: "Your paper is very well written. It can be said that it very intuitively reflects some of the current problems in Traditional Chinese Medicine. The thinking mode is one of the major problems in Traditional Chinese Medicine."
Qu Tongwen nodded and said, "An Yun is right. People say that Chinese medicine is difficult to learn. This is certainly a problem, but in reality, with the increase in some medical schools, especially Chinese medicine schools, it is still very helpful for the cultivation of Chinese medicine talents."
"Traditional Chinese medicine is about inheritance, which emphasizes master-disciple inheritance, father-to-son inheritance, and family inheritance. But objectively speaking, the previous training model was still somewhat backward. Relying solely on master-disciple inheritance, the number of TCM practitioners trained was limited. After all, institutional training has increased the base number of TCM practitioners."
Yun Heng nodded. What Qu Tongwen said was undeniable.
As for the current status of traditional Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine practitioners can be roughly divided into two categories: one is traditional Chinese medicine and the other is new Chinese medicine.
Traditional Chinese medicine is what Qu Tongwen called the inheritance of apprenticeship. Some people may not have high academic qualifications, but they are experienced. New Chinese medicine refers to Chinese medicine doctors trained in modern colleges and universities.
Some traditional Chinese medicine practitioners look down on new Chinese medicine practitioners, thinking that these people are just fancy-pants with no real skills or knowledge. New Chinese medicine practitioners also look down on traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, thinking that these people are old stubborn people with backward thinking who cannot keep up with the times.
Perhaps some people will say that traditional Chinese medicine is already in a weak position and likes to fight among itself, so it is no wonder that traditional Chinese medicine has declined.
Anyone who says this is definitely an amateur.
Due to the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine, the diagnosis and treatment methods are diverse, the techniques are diverse, and the treatment means are diverse. Different doctors may use completely different treatment methods and medications for the same patient, or the same doctor may use the same method for different patients.
It is precisely because of this characteristic of traditional Chinese medicine that there have been many schools of thought since ancient times.
If modern medicine is mathematics, with only one fixed answer, then traditional Chinese medicine is like Chinese language and reading comprehension. A hundred people may have a hundred ways of understanding it, and you cannot say that they are all wrong.
Modern medicine has fewer disputes and schools of thought, and academic debates have a stronger reference color, because the answers and treatments are mostly standardized, and there is not much to argue about. Right is right, and wrong is wrong. Traditional Chinese medicine is diverse, so there are definitely more disputes. This is determined by its characteristics and has nothing to do with infighting or not.
It is undeniable that no matter who looks down on whom, the Chinese medicine doctors trained in colleges and universities have indeed increased the base of Chinese medicine. After several years of training, these people have at least acquired a certain foundation. If they can receive more systematic education, they will definitely be much easier to train than pure newcomers.
In this regard, it is definitely beneficial to traditional Chinese medicine.
Qu Tongwen continued, "However, this kind of unguided training does have its drawbacks. We cannot completely let it go. We need to use modern medical education methods to train Chinese medicine talents, so we need to take some measures to guide them."
"Mr. Qu said this very well."
Yue Anyun nodded and asked Yun Heng with a smile, "Xiao Yun, what do you think is the main reason why it is difficult for Chinese medicine practitioners to develop a correct Chinese medicine mindset?"
"On one hand, it's education, and on the other hand, it's the environment."
Yun Heng thought for a moment and then replied.
"Tell me more about it."
Yue Anyun encouraged.
“Let’s talk about education first.”
Yun Heng nodded and continued, "Generally speaking, there are relatively few good Chinese medicine practitioners. Most of the lecturers and professors at major Chinese medicine schools lack proper Chinese medicine thinking. If even teachers are like this, how can students possibly develop a good mindset?"
Yun Heng graduated from the Provincial University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, so he naturally knew some of the situation.
It is undeniable that there are good teachers in the school, but good teachers, like good Chinese medicine practitioners, are only a minority after all. Especially now, some of the teachers in the school are similar to Yang Shaohong. They stay in school and teach after graduation. They have no clinical experience and do not have sufficient understanding of Chinese medicine. They can teach some basic theories, but if they bring their own ideas, it is easy to influence students.
But teachers cannot simply read the text when teaching. They always have to analyze it for everyone. If the teacher’s own thinking is wrong, how can students learn the right things?
Yun Heng has a personal experience of this.
When Yun Heng first got the simulation space, his error rate was very high when he practiced in the simulation space. It was mainly due to his thinking problems, and he was easily affected by some things in modern medicine.
Fortunately, the simulation space is not afraid of making mistakes, and even if there are mistakes, the correct answer will be given. Yun Heng also learned and summarized again and again, and finally developed his current thinking mode.
If there is no simulation space, it will be difficult for new graduates to get started in the hospital. In reality, they will face real patients and cannot let go, so their growth will naturally be slow.
In order to avoid making mistakes, most new practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine end up becoming mere slackers. They dare not prescribe large doses of medicine or strong or dangerous drugs, and instead prescribe prescriptions that neither cure the disease nor cause harm to the patient.
“Well, this question is indeed an important factor.”
Yue Anyun nodded and said: "There are few good Chinese medicine practitioners, and even fewer good Chinese medicine teachers. If this is the case for teachers, what about students?"
"That's right."
Qu Tongwen also expressed his approval.
"Xiaoyun, please continue."
Yue Anyun said.
Yun Heng continued, "The second point is the environment. As the saying goes, even an emperor needs bad soldiers. Most people study medicine to find a job and support their families after graduation. Regardless of the income of a TCM doctor, the sheer difficulty of learning and mastering the subject discourages many people. Therefore, many students in TCM schools choose to take Western medicine courses while in school. When they enter hospitals, where Western medicine is the mainstay, they are inevitably influenced by modern medical thinking."
