A Verbal Battle with the Confucians
The River Is Red (Half)
The tip of the blade licked blood.
In addition to chronic diseases, nine days to pick the moon.
Fine carving
He was 120% confident in treating the patient.
The cook's eyes widen as he unties the cow,
Monkeys carved on thorns are secretly happy.
After ten years of illness, it was washed away in one day.
God laughed.
At 2:50 pm, Miss Xu knocked on the door and came in. She said to Hua Tuo,"
"Everyone's here. There are a few experts from the sanatorium. They're probably here to debate. You have to be prepared to deal with their difficulties. I'm counting on you."
"Don't worry, I'll try my best to help you. In the end, it all depends on your father's attitude.”
"I don't know what my dad is thinking either. Why is he making things so complicated?”
"Don't think too much about it. After all, your grandfather isn't an ordinary person. It's only right for them to be cautious.”
The two of them went to a small conference room on the first floor. There were more than 20 people sitting inside, whispering to each other. It seemed that they were divided into two camps. A few old experts, doctors, the second son of the Xu family, two relatives and a son were in one group, and Old Chen, the eldest son of the Xu family, and their two children were in the same group. There were also two middle-aged officers who were probably the leaders of the relevant departments in charge of Elder Xu. Sitting at the head of the table were Old Chen and another old man.
After everyone sat down, one of the leaders said,
"Let me introduce you. This is Elder Chen, and this is Director Wang of the sanatorium. On this side were the specialists from the Health Bureau, Elder Xu's second son and his wife, Elder Xu's daughter and his wife, his niece, his niece's son-in-law, and his son. Sitting on my left is my eldest son, his wife, and his children. This is Dr. Wang Hao, from a reclusive family. He is the 36th generation descendant of the Han Dynasty medical god Hua Tuo, a master of traditional Chinese medicine. I invited everyone here today to discuss Elder Xu's treatment plan. The discussion began. Who will speak first?"
Everyone lowered their heads in deep thought, the experts were deep in thought, and the family members were thinking about how to get more benefits. After five minutes, Elder Xu's distant grandson still couldn't hold it in and said,
"Everyone is too embarrassed to say it, but I'm an outsider. I think it's too hasty to ask a quack doctor without a medical certificate to treat my grandfather. Everyone knows my grandfather's identity.”
"Who are you calling a dog or a cat? If you didn't invite me, would I have come? Whether Elder Xu was a high-ranking official or a commoner, he was a patient who needed a doctor to save his life. He was not here to humiliate others. If anyone below him pointed fingers at the mulberry tree and scolded the locust tree, don't blame me for being rude.”
"Get out. You're not welcome here!”Miss Xu pointed at her cousin and scolded.
"How can you say that? He's your cousin, not an outsider. You're turning your back on him because of a gigolo.”
"Get out! All of you, scram!" Miss Xu's father was furious. A relative who had nothing to do with her was showing off his martial arts in their house. What the hell? What right did he have to scold his precious daughter?
"Big Brother, what are you doing? Do you have to do this for an outsider?”
"You go out too. I don't have such an unfilial son like you. Are you leaving or not? If you don't leave, I'll kick you out.”
"I'm also Dad's son. At least I have the right to know.”
"Alright, stop arguing. Take a step back. Your family can leave. This is not something you can interfere in.”No one dared to refute Old Chen's words. Elder Xu's distant niece and her family walked out dejectedly.
"Guards, supervise them to leave. In the future, without my permission, no one is allowed to enter. Otherwise, you will be held accountable.”
"Yes, Chief!"
"I think that the following statements should not be made with guns and sticks, pointing at mulberry trees and scolding locust trees. Whoever doesn't listen to me, I'll ask him to leave, and he'll never be allowed to visit. There were only two problems. One was whether or not Dr. Wang should treat Brother Xu. What would be the consequences of treating him? What would be the consequences of not treating him? The second was how to treat it. This required the experts to express their opinions. It needed to be justified. I can't be unreasonable. The others are exceptions." Old Chen set the tone, and everyone's speech became much gentler.
"As the eldest son, I'll tell you what the family members think first. Later, the experts would express their opinions from a medical perspective. First of all, it had to be treated. If Western medicine had a solution, there would be no need for Chinese medicine treatment. So far, all kinds of measures had been tried. The patient's condition was getting worse and worse. Moreover, he was now completely relying on the ventilation machine to maintain his condition. It could be said that the patient was basically in a dying state. Let's assume how long this state can last. If he were to remove the mechanical ventilation device, would the patient still be able to breathe? The results of modern medicine are obvious to all, so I won't say much. Then, there was only Chinese medicine left. Not every Chinese medicine was effective. In the past, he had asked Chinese medicine experts to diagnose him and had taken Chinese medicine, but the effect was not good. Now that Dr. Wang said that there is a way to save my father, let's not talk about whether it's true or not. It was the only way to try. It was a glimmer of hope. Even if he couldn't be saved, he would return to the starting point. How bad could it be? Therefore, they had to hurry up and save the patient. They had to let Dr. Wang enter the ward to see the patient immediately. Now, I hope that everyone can make use of the time to speak. No matter what the result is, Dr. Wang must enter the ward at five o'clock. I'm done talking."
"I don't agree with my brother's opinion. It's too hasty. Moreover, I still have the same sentence. I can't let a quack doctor who doesn't even have a doctor's license treat my father.”
"Let me tell you my opinion. I think we can all understand Big Brother's urgency. I'm also my father's daughter. It's the duty of every child to be filial, but we can't just go to any doctor when we're in a hurry. Xiao Wang, you're so young. It's doubtful if you're even twenty. I heard that the price is 100 million. Who has ever heard of such high medical fees in the world? Moreover, he did not even have a medical license. How can we be at ease and hand the patient over to him? Didn't they say that doctors had the heart of a parent? Why did he ask for such a huge sum? That's why I don't agree to let Xiao Wang treat my father. If Big Brother insists on his own way, then everyone here will vote and the minority will obey the majority. This should be enough, right?" Seeing that Miss Xu was about to speak, Elder Chen was afraid that she would start arguing again. He waved his hand and suppressed her. He said.
"Tell me the opinion of the expert group."
The doctors looked at each other. A man in his fifties stood up and said,
"Our expert group has always believed that treating Elder Xu is a serious problem. We can't be rash and do whatever we want. We are also very distressed when the patient has reached this stage. The world's medical standards were only at this level. Perhaps cancer would be conquered in a few decades. Would anyone believe that such an unknown young man could cure cancer? Anyway, our experts don't believe it. Therefore, our opinion is that we don't agree with Comrade Xiao Wang treating the old chief indiscriminately.”
"What's the attitude of the Health Bureau and the sanatorium?”
The three of them looked at each other and shook their heads. One of them said,
"We don't dare to joke around with the old general's life. We don't agree to let this wandering doctor treat the old general.”
"Then, Dr. Wang, tell me your opinion.”
"I'm just expressing my opinion. First of all, I would like to ask everyone here, who has a better way to save the patient?”
Everyone looked at each other without saying a word.
"I don't think so. Then let's be reasonable. Let me first talk about my opinion on the family members. Other than Boss Xu's family, the other two families did not agree to the treatment. Then I have to ask, are you all Elder Xu's biological children?”
"What are you talking about? If we're not biological, are you?”
"Don't interrupt. Let Dr. Wang finish his sentence.”Elder Chen hurriedly interrupted Elder Xu's daughter.
"Don't be agitated. Let me finish. Since he's his biological son, there's no reason not to save his father. It's hard for an outsider like me to understand. There is only one explanation. You don't want your father to come back to life because of your own interests. Regardless of whether I can save him or not, you don't want Elder Xu to live.”
Elder Chen saw that the second son and daughter of the Xu family were about to get anxious again, so he waved his hand and suppressed their interruption.
"These words are unpleasant to hear, but that's the truth. " Let's talk about the expert group. The reason why you didn't let me save you was because of your pride. You're a group of people with high and mighty interests. You don't want anyone to surpass you, you don't want anyone to break your authority, and you don't want anyone to slap you in the face. You don't want anyone to pull you down from the altar, and you don't want anyone to break the rules you set. The sanatorium and the Health Bureau mainly considered the issue of leadership responsibility. He was afraid of taking responsibility, especially for a big leader like Elder Xu. He was afraid of losing his job. No matter if I'm young or not, as the saying goes: 'Aspirations do not lie in age. Without ambition, one will live for a hundred years.' Was a medical certificate more important than a living life? To put it bluntly, many experts and professors memorized it. Do they know how to treat patients? Would he save people? No, but they had authority and qualifications. He could set the rules. They were a bunch of bureaucrats. Is this fair to the majority of patients?"
"Let me make it clear to you. Our branch of descendants is not allowed to practice medicine. Although our medical skills are very high, the mother of our ancestor, who is also Hua Tuo's concubine, left a will to our ancestor before she died. She forbade our branch of descendants to write books and biography, and forbade us from practicing medicine as a profession. If it wasn't for the fact that something happened to my family and that I urgently needed a sum of money to save my parents, I would have died. It's impossible for me to appear in front of the world as a doctor.”
"Alright, let's not talk about it anymore. Whether it makes sense or not, everyone knows in their hearts. As for whether or not to save Elder Xu, it's up to you. I don't care. If the east doesn't shine, the west will shine. I'll always be able to earn money.”
"Right, the Great Ancestor once said,'Truth is often held in the hands of a minority. This was because the truth was not something that ordinary people could grasp. There were tens of millions of doctors in the world, but how many famous doctors were there? After all, geniuses were rare. Otherwise, would it be possible for everyone to be a scientist?”
Hua Tuo sat down. Old Chen and Boss looked at each other and said,"
"Everyone has expressed their views. Although everyone has different opinions, now is not the time to argue about who is right and who is wrong, so there is no need to vote. Due to the patient's critical condition, the expert group could not come up with a better solution. We can only try our best. Although this sentence was disrespectful, it was rough. In every country, there were thousands of households, and there was only one person in charge. It was the same for a family. The specialist group and the Health Bureau still had to listen to the family's opinions. Therefore, I decided that treatment was necessary. Even if there was only one in ten thousand hope, I had to fight for it. However, the expert group could not do anything about the treatment. They could only let Dr. Wang do his best. If anything happens, the eldest son of the Xu family and I will bear the responsibility together. As for the others, I have reservations."
"Uncle Chen, that won't do. You can't make the decision in our family.”
Old Chen slammed the table and stood up.
"Guards, load the bullets. If anyone dares to delay the treatment of Brother Xu for personal gain again, they will be shot. I will bear all the consequences." Old Chen said with killing intent. Four burly men stood around with fully automatic rifles in their hands. They pulled the bolts and loaded the bullets. The Xu family's daughter's face was pale, and cold sweat flowed down her face. He didn't dare to say a word. He knew that Old Chen was a soldier and had killed countless people in his life. He had a bad temper and would pull out his gun to fight if he did not agree. If he was angered, he would really dare to shoot.
"Now for the second topic, the expert group and Doctor Wang will discuss how to treat the patient.”
"In order to save time, the expert group will ask questions and Doctor Wang will answer them. Let's begin now."
The experts looked at each other and nodded. The first person to speak was Chief Ma. He was a national neurosurgeon and had studied at Harvard University in America. He was a doctor, a supervisor of a doctor, and a professor at Hua University School of Medicine. Director of the Department of Brain Surgery of the First People's Hospital of Chengdu.
"I would like to ask Doctor Wang. In terms of theoretical system, Western medicine is obviously more scientific. Chinese medicine is nothing more than using people's habitual thinking. It has hints, spiritual guidance, and superstitious colors to treat diseases. Without scientific evidence, how can you save a patient with terminal brain cancer?”
"Speaking of which theoretical system is more scientific, let me share my opinion. Whether science was scientific or not was not determined by words. Western medicine believed that many problems in the medical field were already very scientific, but in reality, they only had a half-baked understanding. For example, the human body needed oxygen. Western medicine believed that as long as the patient was given oxygen, they would be able to survive. However, reality proved that this was not scientific, and there were still many unsolved mysteries. Who had ever seen a patient who had been relying on oxygen to survive? Most of them did not exceed a year. You might say that it was not a problem with oxygen, but that the patient had multiple organ failures, infection, and unbalanced nutrition. However, how many patients in the world died every year because of these problems? There was not a single patient who did not suffer from organ failure. The infection was not fatal, and the nutrition was basically balanced. What was the reason? In fact, the human body may need oxygen to breathe, but it did not mean that it did not need a very small amount of other gases, or even less than 0.00% of other unknown gases. It might not matter much in the short term, but as time passed, problems would arise. The result was that the patients would not live for more than a year.”
"Western medicine thinks that it's very scientific. Seeing is believing. The theory was very advanced, but why couldn't almost all diseases be cured? Of course, some diseases could be cured by surgery. As far as I know, there is only one case of lobar pneumonias that can be cured. Even patients who could be cured by surgery had many problems, such as sequelae, scars, and relapse. For example, if one small tumor was removed by surgery, another one would grow out. There was no medicine that could prevent it from relapsing. Another example was that after appendectomy, the problem of intestinal sticking and low immunity had not been resolved. Not to mention cancer, high blood pressure, and diabetes.”
"Western medicine is always a post-theoretical system. Any disease can only be discovered when it reaches a certain level. For example, the reason why tumors could not be discovered in the early stages was because his theoretical system had to reach a certain level before he could diagnose patients through CT, MRI, and laboratory tests. Another example was high blood pressure. If the patient's blood pressure did not exceed the normal level, it could never be diagnosed as high blood pressure. Even if her blood fat was very high, it could only be said that she had a tendency to have high blood pressure.”
"Chinese medicine is different. Its theoretical system is more advanced, more comprehensive, and has a forward-looking theoretical system. It was possible to detect an early illness before a person had an illness. In the early stage of the tumor, before the tumor formed, his pulse and tongue had already changed due to qi stagnation and blood stasis. He could achieve the purpose of prevention and treatment by promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.”
"Western medicine mainly focuses on killing, whether it's antibiotics, anti-tumor drugs, lowering blood pressure for high blood pressure, or lowering blood sugar for diabetes. Traditional Chinese medicine mainly said,'Vital qi is stored inside, and evil cannot be done with it.'The main method."
"From these aspects, in terms of theoretical system, Chinese medicine is more advanced. It was like Chinese medicine was like a doctor, while Western medicine was only at the level of primary school students. What was foresight? Traditional Chinese medicine was that. Western medicine could only treat the head when the head hurts and the foot when the foot hurts. Of course, in recent years, due to the destruction of nature and the historical process of human self-destruction, there were fewer and fewer wild Chinese herbal medicines. Most of them were plants that were promoted by fertilizers and pesticides, and their medicinal effects were greatly reduced. This also limited the level of treatment of alternative medicine.”
"In terms of nurturing doctors, Chinese medicine requires a teaching method where the teacher teaches the disciple. It also requires talented young people to be nurtured from a young age. And a medical school that was like a herd of sheep would not be able to nurture good Chinese medicine doctors. Therefore, Chinese medicine was even more difficult to learn.”
The second person who asked the question was a female expert in her fifties. She was a professor of onlogy at the School of Medical Sciences of Hua University and the director of the oncological department of the Second People's Hospital of Hua City.
"What method did you use to save Elder Xu?”
"Acupuncture and Chinese medicine, and if necessary, surgery and qigong.”
The third person who asked the question was an old man in his sixties. He was a powerful expert in the Department of Cardiology of the Ministry of Health and a chief physician. He had studied at the University of Cambridge in England and had a PhD. He was mainly in charge of the medical care of the old officials.
"Elder Xu has already reached the stage of severe organ failure. Moreover, is there any way to resolve the tumor oppression?”
"The organ failure mentioned by Western medicine is the imbalance of yin and yang in Chinese medicine. The five elements restrain each other, and yin and yang qi and blood are both deficient. The oppression of the tumor was caused by qi stagnation, blood stasis, and mass blockage in traditional Chinese medicine. Acupuncture could be used to dredge the meridians and blood, and medicine could be used to supplement the deficiency. After his condition stabilizes, he will open his skull and scrape the poison."
The fourth person who asked the question was a director of neurosurgery in his sixties. He had studied at Waseda University in Japan. He had a Ph.D. and was a famous neurosurgery professor in the country.
"We have already lost the opportunity for surgery. Moreover, this kind of cancer cells metastasizes very quickly. A few days after the previous surgery, a larger tumor will grow again. Therefore, Western medicine generally did not recommend surgery for this kind of tumor. Because it's meaningless."
"That's the point of view of Western medicine. The reason why tumors metastasize is mainly caused by qi deficiency, which is what you call low immune function. Chinese medicine has a way to solve the problem of transference. He did not use the craniotomy of Western medicine. Instead, he used our traditional Chinese medicine method of craniotomy and scraping the poison.”
"Is there a difference?"
"Of course, there's a difference. You Western doctors use silver clips and pressure to stop bleeding during craniotomy. "We don't use these things. Also, you remove the tumor by cutting it with a knife. We use silver scraping to remove the foreign body. The other method you used was to distinguish between normal tissues and tumors by looking at them with the naked eye. Chinese medicine, on the other hand, uses the spiritual awareness of qigong to determine the tumor, which is more accurate.”
