The Chinese medicine boss is preparing to assess a group of pediatricians on the spot?
Don't say that, the assessment is a serious exam, including written test, interview, practical test, etc. This is not the case here.
Mr. Jiao wants to have an academic exchange with all the pediatricians present, whether they are Chinese or Western medicine practitioners.
When it comes to traditional Chinese medicine hospitals, laymen know only one thing but not the other. They only think that traditional Chinese medicine outpatient departments do not distinguish between different age groups of patients and that there is no pediatric department.
Some very formal Chinese medicine hospitals, such as this local Chinese medicine hospital, have a specialized pediatric department of Chinese medicine.
In ancient Chinese medicine, there have been pediatricians who are good at treating children and specialize in pediatrics.
To be more specific, Chinese medicine had different branches in ancient times. The earliest official branch of Chinese medicine pediatrics can be traced back to the Sui and Tang dynasties, which were very early dynasties. At that time, local pediatric departments were set up to specialize in studying children's diseases.
The prescription for children is called Xiao Fangmai, and the corresponding prescription for adults is called Da Fangmai. What is Fangmai? This requires another unique term in traditional Chinese medicine, Zou Fangmai.
The classical Chinese language education we learned in school mentioned the ancient Chinese medicine doctor Bian Que. Doctor Bian Que was a traveling doctor who traveled everywhere. Wherever he saw a patient, he would stay at the patient's home until the patient's illness was cured and then move on to another place.

In that era, traveling doctors were the basic way for Chinese doctors to practice medicine. If we compare it with the history of Western medicine, we can also talk about the world's largest medical school. The practice of ancient Western medicine and traveling doctors of Chinese medicine are almost the same model.
Another term for traveling doctors in ancient times was "traveling doctors". This is because the most common manifestation of Chinese medicine skills is unique medical prescriptions and pulse conditions, so the meaning of "fangmai" can be extended to medical skills.
Is this the only prescription that traditional Chinese medicine uses to treat children?
No. There is no difference between ancient Chinese medicine doctors and modern doctors. As long as there are methods that can cure patients, they will use all means possible. Therefore, they will never limit themselves to one treatment method to treat children.
There are two important medical books in ancient times that reflect the above views.
A book called "Xiaopin Fang" tells us that ancient Chinese medicine has a scientific definition of age classification for pediatrics. Anyone under the adult age of sixteen is considered a child.
A book called "Acupuncture and Moxibustion Jia Yi Jing" tells us that acupuncture was a common and effective treatment method for children in ancient Chinese medicine.
Going back to the beginning of the article, the case that Dr. Wen Zihan rescued when he first appeared was a child. It turns out that Chinese medicine in pediatrics has some magic tricks.
The Chinese people have long experienced this firsthand. A colleague who came to seek medical treatment with a baby in his arms said: Western medicine doesn't think there is any problem, I want a Chinese medicine expert to take a look and help my child's body.
Western medicine calls the physical condition of patients whose indicators do not meet the diagnostic criteria for a certain disease sub-health.
For people with sub-health, Western medicine suggests that they focus on adjusting their daily lifestyle, including diet, work, and rest, so that the body can adjust itself and return to a healthy state.
The term "sub-health" in Western medicine originated in the 1980s and has a very recent history.
Anyone who knows a little about Chinese medicine knows that sub-health is a new term and a new concept. There are many similar medical concepts in Chinese medicine.
Compared to Western medicine, Chinese doctors will have serious expressions every time they hear that patients want to adjust their bodies: because Chinese medicine has a medical concept called preventing disease before it occurs.
There are several meanings of preventing disease before it occurs. One of them is that if the patient feels sick before the disease criteria are reached, the doctor must help the patient treat the disease and must not take it lightly. It is best to suppress the disease before it occurs.
There is no conflict between Western medicine's view on sub-health and Traditional Chinese Medicine's view on preventing disease before it occurs. They are similar in nature but different in approach. The only difference lies in whether medical means are needed to intervene during this period.
Western medicine claims that it is not necessary.
Traditional Chinese medicine advocates the need.
If you ask a clinician which of the above views is correct, a doctor who has seen many clinical cases will tell you that both views are correct.
The key point is whether the patient's body can adjust itself.
In this regard, Chinese medicine is clearly ahead of Western medicine with its accumulated clinical practice: this stage of the patient needs to be identified, and medical intervention should be chosen based on the patient's condition.
If you ask a senior expert why Western medicine and Chinese medicine have such different concepts, he will tell you the reason with a frank smile: After all, Western medicine basically has no magic tricks for patients' conditions. Some of them are symptomatic treatments, such as giving you sleeping pills if you can't sleep, but everyone knows that these medicines are not good for you.
Traditional Chinese medicine is different, and acupuncture is a very magical trick.
It is understandable that after the patient's family said this, the group of onlookers became more and more interested, especially the Western doctors who wanted to see how many more puzzling tricks the Chinese medicine doctors had hidden in their pockets.
