With this idea in mind, Tian Cai accelerated the progress of drug trials for cirrhosis.
However, she had made an appointment with Tan Wei before that. She needed to finish the work at hand and would call him again.
Tan Wei also had some unfinished research on hand, and the two of them had the same ideas.
Currently, millions of people die from liver diseases every year in China.
In addition to fundamentally reducing the infection rates of hepatitis B and hepatitis C, how to reverse cirrhosis has also become a difficult problem.
Cirrhosis of the liver will eventually turn into liver cancer, and people with liver cancer are doomed to die unless they receive an organ transplant, which is simply impossible now.
After three months of failed research and development, Tian Cai has recently been considering compromising and studying corresponding drugs based on the subdivision of the symptoms.
With the help of acupuncture, the expected effect can be achieved.
After making this plan, she quickly developed a process for treating patients with cirrhosis, in which acupuncture was used very frequently.
It can be said that in this treatment plan, acupuncture is no longer an auxiliary role, it has become a dominant role.
The condition of dozens of patients that Zhang Wenshan had previously brought to Tian Cai for experiments has been basically controlled.
Among them, four people with mild symptoms have recovered, and two people whose conditions are more serious than Uncle Yan's have now turned into moderate symptoms. They only need to take medicine every day and come for acupuncture on time, and they will be cured within half a year.
You just need to rest well during the rest of the time and avoid overwork.
Seeing this therapeutic effect, people who follow Tian Cai’s research results are naturally very satisfied.
Tian Cai makes prescription drugs that maintain their core functions, and the remaining effects can be achieved by combining them with other drugs.
After all, every patient's situation is different.
If the patient's condition is more serious, acupuncture may be used as an auxiliary treatment.
Just like lung cancer at that time, these diseases cannot be completely cured by medication, and mainly rely on acupuncture.
Acupuncture is used to stimulate the meridians in specific parts of the body to stimulate the liver, while the medicine taken is stimulated externally. Only by doing both together can the effect be better.
However, the acupuncture method is very different from before.
So even though the treatment process and medication were already available, she was not in a hurry to use them.
This treatment method cannot be distributed to major hospitals as before.
Even if a doctor is assigned there, it will be useless if the medicine does not achieve the expected effect without a doctor with the corresponding acupuncture level.
But when it comes to acupuncture, many doctors feel embarrassed.
Although acupuncture is not a particularly difficult subject, half of Chinese medicine doctors have only mediocre skills in this area.
Previously, the acupuncture method of Lung Cancer Kang was not difficult. It only involved a few little-known acupoints. The doctors were told the locations, the order of needling and the depth of needling. All they had to do was practice for a period of time.
But this is not the case for patients with cirrhosis.
This treatment requires a higher level of skill from the acupuncturist.
After consulting with Mr. Cheng and Zhang Wenshan, Tian Cai finally decided that this series of drugs and treatment plans would not be considered for use in other hospitals for the time being, and would only be used in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department of the Military General Hospital.
After two years of deliberate training, there are more and more doctors with good acupuncture skills in the TCM department. Even if their skills are not good enough, they seize the time to absorb knowledge in an environment surrounded by masters.
Moreover, there are many patients in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department, and almost everyone has the opportunity to try it out. With such practice day by day, the level will naturally be improved.
————————
Tian Cai trained the doctors in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department every night. This work lasted for a month and a half before a few of them barely met her requirements.
Dean Qi reported the news only after five doctors had mastered this acupuncture technique.
Soon, this news was published in the Masses Daily.
Beijing Military General Hospital has recently developed a treatment for liver cirrhosis. Patients in need are welcome to visit the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department for treatment.
As soon as the news was announced, it caused a wave of heated discussion.
When people heard about the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department, their first reaction was Dr. Tian Cai, because in the years before that, the Military General Hospital always made achievements in Western Medicine and was in the spotlight.
But since Dr. Tian Cai came a few years ago, the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department has been frequently mentioned in the newspapers.
Everyone has a consensus on the reason behind this.
Take the previous lung cancer case for example. They have all seen or heard that people around them who were clearly suffering from a fatal disease were cured by a small pill, and after taking the medicine as prescribed by the doctor, the disease never recurred and their health got better day by day.
They were joyful and full of hope for life again.
However, at that time, Lung Cancer Kang was initially sold at the Military General Hospital, but was soon distributed to all major hospitals. Those who went directly to other hospitals did not feel the initial congestion.
"Why can we only go to the Military General Hospital? My relatives have been there before, and they said that we have to queue up to register. There are so many people!" A man with a short flat head couldn't help complaining after reading the newspaper.
His relatives said last time that some of them went to queue up late at night, just to be the first to get a number the next morning so that they could see the doctor earlier.
But there were many people who thought the same as him, so he still didn't rank first.
"It must have been developed by Dr. Tian Cai again. Excellent doctors like him shouldn't just be at the Military General Hospital. They should rotate through hospitals to give more people the opportunity to see a doctor!"
Another man who was traveling with him also said indignantly.
The man with the flat head disagreed with this.
"You know how much work Dr. Tian Cai has to do every day, and you're saying this. My niece is at the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Dr. Tian Cai is a professor there, and he has to teach in the mornings. If he could pass on all his skills, there would be more and more good doctors in the future, which would be a good thing for us!"
If Dean Qi were here, he would definitely praise the man for being aware.
He thinks so now. If everyone in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department could be like Tian Cai, he would probably go crazy.
It’s not that he lacks ideological awareness, but the door of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department was almost broken by the patients and their families who came to see the doctor.
The day after the news appeared in the newspaper, a large number of patients came to the Military General Hospital.
Those who live closer must come first. In just two days, the wards of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department were full.
You said to advise patients with mild symptoms to go back and wait for news, and notify them one by one after the treatment here is completed, and ask them to come back when the time comes.
But what did people say? They said they could sleep in the corridor.
It’s the coldest time of the year, you’d be freezing if you slept in the corridor.
Later, the hospital had no choice but to bring in a lot of camp beds and add beds to every ward, leaving only a narrow aisle.
If that's still not enough, we'll have to borrow the orthopedic ward.
