(Doctor Tong: …)
Several students lined up the patients seeking medical treatment, and one by one they were ready to go upstairs with the doctor for treatment.
The clinic has a separate acupuncture treatment room on the second floor.
Just as Dr. Wen was about to take a step forward, an emergency occurred.
"Doctor, doctor, please help me take a look at my grandson."
An old man ran towards the clinic with his child in his arms.
Seeing this, other patients' families made way for the old man and the child.
There must be family members in the crowd who have been parents of children, like Sun Rongfang, who felt the same way and was heartbroken when seeing this scene.
"What happened to the child?"
...
...
"Are you twitching?"
"Don't let your child bite his tongue when he has a fever and convulsions. Put a towel in his mouth."
Without waiting for the doctor to speak, everyone gave their opinions and was anxious to criticize the child's family for what they had not done well.
The old man was accompanied by the child and other family members, such as the child's grandmother and mother.
The child’s grandmother complained on the spot: “I didn’t smoke at home.”
It sounds like the child was taken to the clinic by his parents for medical treatment immediately after he was found unable to be woken up at home. No convulsion symptoms occurred at the scene.
Not all children who pass out have convulsions.
Doctors certainly don't judge the severity of a child's illness based on whether the child has convulsions.
To put it bluntly, laymen are just there to watch the fun and don't understand professional diagnosis, but it's no wonder that these people like to comment on their own medical experiences.
After hearing what the child's grandmother said, a group of people became suspicious.
"I didn't smoke, why did I come to see a Chinese doctor?"
Ordinary people know that the magic of traditional Chinese medicine is only applicable in specific scenarios, just like which doctor is good at treating which disease.
The magic skills of traditional Chinese medicine in TV dramas and movies are all about the patient being convulsed and the needle being inserted into the patient's body to produce an immediate effect. It can be seen that the magic of traditional Chinese medicine lies in stopping the patient's convulsions. The students from the Chinese medicine hospital next to them rolled their eyes when they heard this.
Laymen only know one side of the story but not the other. Yes, each specialist has his or her own expertise, but acupuncture in traditional Chinese medicine is not just for stopping seizures.
"Would it be better to send her to a western hospital?"
After hearing this, the child's grandmother, mother and grandfather said anxiously: "We used to come here to see the doctor for treatment."
Don’t think that emergency patients will only go to the hospital emergency department. Some patients will only run to familiar doctors when they have an emergency.
The main reason is: no money.
The high cost of medical treatment is bound to make ordinary people feel uneasy about seeing a doctor.
If you take your child to the hospital and the Western medicine doctor asks that a CT or MRI scan is needed to determine the cause of the disease, poor families cannot afford it.
Finding a familiar doctor may help you save some money.
This is also the reason why traditional Chinese medicine is widely welcomed by the Chinese people. Compared with the thousands of dollars of diagnosis and treatment fees of Western medicine, traditional Chinese medicine seems to be more cost-effective.
People were hotly discussing the medical expenses of Western medicine. Dr. Tong, a Western medicine doctor, was quietly adjusting his sunglasses in the crowd.
It is unreasonable to say that Western medicine doctors love to prescribe expensive instrument tests. If the cause of the patient's illness can be easily seen, the doctor will definitely not let the patient undergo the test, because it will make the doctor's own technical level appear to be very low.
Besides, Chinese doctors still work in hospitals and prescribe various tests.
People outside don’t know that a lot of Western medicine knowledge is mixed into the textbooks of modern Chinese medicine colleges. Chinese medicine students also have to learn the basics of anatomy and physiology and pathology in their first year, which are all Western medicine knowledge.
Therefore, this question boils down to the specific doctor's technical level, rather than the difference between Chinese and Western medicine.
