“Pah pah pah!”
Someone began to clap softly, then others followed, and gradually, applause broke out in the room.
The first person to applaud was Chen Fanming.
Wait until the applause dies down.
Chen Fanming then said, "What Doctor Yun said just now can be said to have revealed the essence of Chinese medicine from the shallow to the profound. When Chinese medicine uses medicine, it never looks at the ingredients, but only at the bias, the four properties and five flavors, and the meridians it enters."
"I remember that Yue Meizhong, an old man, had a very famous medical case."
Chen Fanming spoke calmly, "It was the late 1970s. A ten-year-old girl suffered from a very strange illness. When it came on, her lips trembled, and her limbs involuntarily drooped and became limp. She was completely unconscious, and no matter how people around her called out, she received no response."
When Chen Fanming said this, many people like Yun Heng, Ma Tiequan, Yue Anyun and others knew which medical record Chen Fanming was talking about. It was Yue Meizhong, also known as Yue Zhongxiu, also known as Yunchu, no, Chuyun. He was born in 1900 and died in 1982 at the age of 82.
Mr. Yue was a well-known Chinese medicine expert in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. He was from Jizhou Province.
Mr. Yue used to be a teacher. At the age of 25, he became ill due to overwork and contracted tuberculosis. He often vomited blood. It was from that time that Mr. Yue began to study medical books diligently. After 28 years, he gave up teaching and became a full-time doctor.
The patient Chen Fanming mentioned can be said to be one of the many patients treated by Yue Meizhong, but this case is quite classic.
Chen Fanming continued, "The child's father had seen many doctors at the time, but modern medicine couldn't even pinpoint the cause of the illness and simply diagnosed it as epilepsy."
"Mr. Yue saw the child and after careful questioning, he learned that the child's symptoms occurred twice a day, each time lasting one to two hours. After the time passed, the child would get better on his own. The onset of each attack occurred around noon and midnight."
Many people had heard of this case, especially the Chinese medicine practitioners present, but the medical representatives nearby had never heard of it and were all amazed at it.
The disease occurs around noon and midnight every day, which is a bit strange.
Chen Fanming continued, "After seeing the child, Elder Yue observed him. The child's illness started around 11:00 AM, and he started to feel better after 1:00 AM. He looked fine, with no lasting symptoms at all."
"The child's father told Mr. Yue that he had gone to two hospitals, and both hospitals said the child suffered from epilepsy. There is currently no effective medicine, and the disease is likely to accompany him for life."
Chen Fanming said in a low voice: "A ten-year-old girl has been ill twice a day for the rest of her life. How is she going to live?"
"The little girl's illness was new to even Elder Yue. He had never heard of it or encountered it before. But after careful questioning, he determined based on the time the child fell ill that noon is when Yin is born, and midnight is when Yang is born. The balance between Yin and Yang at midnight and noon is disrupted, which is why the child fell ill. Therefore, Elder Yue concluded that the child's Yin and Yang were out of balance, and he prescribed Xiao Chaihu Decoction. After only three doses, the little girl recovered, and her illness has never recurred since."
After hearing this, even though Yun Heng and many others had heard of or seen this case before, they couldn't help but be drawn into Chen Fanming's story and were shocked.
Those who had never heard of it were even more amazed and sighed in amazement when they heard it.
"This is the magic of traditional Chinese medicine."
Chen Fanming said, "Yin and Yang are invisible and intangible, but Traditional Chinese Medicine has long had its own diagnosis. The little girl's condition is strange and complicated, with no signs or logic. Modern medicine can't even explain the cause or the origin of the illness, but Traditional Chinese Medicine can. Based on the time of the onset of the disease, it can determine that the patient's Yin and Yang are out of balance. Xiao Chaihu Decoction is the perfect remedy to balance Yin and Yang, so it worked after only three doses."
As he spoke, Chen Fanming sighed, "Last century, Country R produced Xiao Chaihu Granules, which were said to be able to treat hepatitis. So, can this medical record from Elder Yue also say that Xiao Chaihu can treat epilepsy?"
The doctor from Country R next to him turned pale.
We were just enjoying the melon, how did it get involved with them?
I have to say that the Xiao Chaihu Granule incident is really a very famous incident. It caused a huge uproar at the time. At its peak, Xiao Chaihu Granule was very popular, but later no one cared about it.
"Traditional Chinese medicine treats diseases based on syndrome differentiation and treatment. As Dr. Yun just said, Chinese medicine relies on the bias of the medicine. Xiao Chaihu Decoction harmonizes yin and yang and creates a balance. It is quite effective for yin and yang imbalances, but it cannot cure all epilepsy."
"Mr. Hu and Mr. Xie are both great men, deeply versed in medicine and knowledgeable in medical principles. How could we ignore this?"
"To cure an illness, one must seek the root cause. In fact, Chinese medicine and Western medicine are the same. When a patient is ill, why is he ill? What is the cause? This must be understood. Only by understanding the cause can we prescribe the right medicine. However, seeking the root cause in Chinese medicine and Western medicine is completely different. How can we use the same method for different causes?"
"If doctors don't know how to use medicine, it will inevitably lead to disaster. Even Western medicine has prescription drugs, and prescription drugs must be used under the guidance of a physician. Why do we need physician guidance? Because physicians know how to use medicine. But now we want to abandon traditional Chinese medicine and separate medicine from pharmacy. If doctors don't know how to use medicine, how can they provide guidance? Is this responsible for the patients or for their wallets?"
Chen Fanming also asked the last sentence quite sharply.
Hu Wenyi and Xie Kaiyang were speechless.
Chen Fanming didn't say anything more, but looked at Yun Heng and smiled at him.
Before meeting Xie Yunzhang, Chen Fanming's temper would be even hotter than Yun Heng's, and his words would definitely be more unpleasant than they are now. Chen Fanming has been much more low-key in recent years, and just now he even didn't want to stand out. If it weren't for Yun Heng's words, Chen Fanming didn't want to say a word.
However, Yun Heng's words gave Chen Fanming other thoughts.
Chen Fanming looked at Yun Heng, thoughtfully.
Chen Fanming had heard about the situation at Xihua City's West Asia Hospital. Originally, Chen Fanming just admired Yun Heng as a person. He was young, not arrogant or impatient, and quite calm.
But after hearing what Yun Heng said just now, Chen Fanming's heart was moved.
What Xihua City Xiya Hospital is doing now seems to be laying the foundation for traditional Chinese medicine.
For a moment, Xie Yunzhang's words appeared in Chen Fanming's mind again.
What does it take to be a great doctor? What does it take to be a respected doctor?
Excellent medical skills?
Cure diseases and save lives?
Countless living people?
It is true that such famous doctors must be great, but those who have been passed down through the ages and whose names have been recorded in history books, such as Zhang Zhongjing, Zheng Qinan, and Li Shizhen, have made significant contributions to medicine in addition to curing diseases and saving lives.
Even the current selection of national medical masters and medical awards still focuses on contribution rather than simply medical skills.
At this moment, Chen Fanming suddenly had the idea of waiting for things here to be over and then going to West Asia Hospital for a checkup.
