Snowflakes fell on the windows of the hospital and melted on the glass, as if to show the indifference and rush of the whole city. It was a snowy night, with few pedestrians on the street, only a few lonely cars, as if away from the hustle and bustle, and decided to immerse themselves in their thoughts on this silent night.
In the hospital, the lights in the operating rooms are dim and thin, in stark contrast to the outside world. A young doctor is engrossed in a critically ill emergency case, his forehead is covered with sweat, and the meticulous surgical action makes people sigh at the greatness of medicine.
At the same time, an old Chinese medicine practitioner spanning two centuries is wandering in the cold wind. The howling wind seemed to blow his voice away, and he grabbed his twenty-something grandson with trembling hands, unwilling to let him come into contact with the so-called modern medicine in the world.
This old Chinese medicine doctor, Pang Lao, has been studying Chinese medicine with his grandfather since he was a child, and the smell of familiar Chinese herbs in his body always permeates him. However, his old body suffered unforeseen pain, and his gait staggered, as if even the sky was laughing at his weakness.
Mr. Pang looked up at Professor Zhang's office, which lived in a high-rise building, and his heart was full of anger and puzzlement. Professor Zhang was a former student, and his education was very different from that of Pang Lao. Pang Lao used all his strength to launch a signature campaign against TCM on social **, and he patiently followed every supporter, seizing every opportunity to persuade them to stand firmly on his side.
However, Pang Lao's actions did not increase his signature, nor did he get Professor Zhang to reply to him. Pang Lao was so angry that he gradually fell silent, and he understood that his efforts might just be a storm of self-deception.
Pang Lao's grandson, Li Ming, is young, but he is already a well-known Western doctor. Pang Lao watched his grandson use a shovel to make soup medicine from elementary school to a mature doctor now, and he was proud and relieved.
Grandpa, I respect your profession and intelligence. But Professor Zhang is not entirely unreasonable, and the empirical support of Western medicine is indeed more convincing. Li Ming said quietly, hoping to soothe his grandfather's angry heart.
However, my child, the theories and methods of Chinese medicine have been practiced for thousands of years, and they all exist for the sake of human health. Pang Lao said quietly, "Traditional Chinese medicine not only focuses on the symptoms, but also pays attention to the overall balance of body and mind. Our medicine has always been people-centered, with the care of humanity as the starting point. ”
Li Ming was silent, his heart full of contradictions. His respected grandfather, his undoubted theories of Chinese medicine, and Professor Zhang, who stood on the same front as him, had such a conflict in their thoughts.
The wind gradually extinguished the hot thoughts in Pang Lao's body, and he was already tired, and he returned home exhausted, feeling that he could no longer make more efforts for the inheritance of Chinese medicine. However, the bright red blood did not stop flowing through his body.
At this time, Pang Lao's ** sounded. He hurriedly picked it up, and there was unexpected news, "Pang Lao, it's me, you still need to continue to work hard for the development of Chinese medicine." It was an anonymous voice, but it was full of Pang Lao's familiar flavor.
Pang Lao felt a chill behind him. He thought that no one could understand his efforts and pain, but suddenly he heard such words from a stranger.
This stranger rekindled the flame of hope for Pang Lao. He put down the ** and walked towards Li Ming.
Child, we can't give up easily. I heard the voice that TCM needed us. Pang Lao said to Li Ming passionately.
Li Ming looked at Pang Lao's anxious eyes, and finally understood his inner insistence. He realized that Chinese medicine is not only a medicine, but also an expression of life attitude and soul.
Since then, Pang Lao and Li Ming have devoted themselves to the inheritance and development of traditional Chinese medicine. Together with other TCM practitioners, they held lectures, discussions, and academic exchanges to verify the value of TCM with empirical evidence. They try to explain TCM in a scientific way, in order to change people's misunderstanding and prejudice against TCM.
Pang Lao believes that there should be no opposition between Chinese medicine and Western medicine, but should learn from each other.
Grandma Liu's point of view:
1. As a part of traditional Chinese medicine, traditional Chinese medicine has formed a unique theoretical system and methods after thousands of years of practice and summary, which have shown certain effects in the alleviation and improvement of some specific diseases and symptoms. Traditional Chinese medicine focuses on the overall health of the body and mind, not only limited to symptoms**, which is different from the **thinking of Western medicine**, and can provide more comprehensive medical services.
2. TCM has accumulated rich clinical experience in long-term practice, which has been proven to be effective and safe to a large extent. For some chronic diseases or symptoms, Chinese medicine may be milder and can achieve long-term control and management.
Aunt Tian's point of view:
1. From a scientific point of view, Professor Zhang pointed out that the method of seeing, hearing, and inquiring in traditional Chinese medicine lacks scientific basis and does not meet rigorous scientific standards. In contrast, Western medicine has more reliable scientific support in terms of research and empirical evidence, and its efficacy and safety are more scientifically based and more easily recognized by the public.
2. In the case of emergency and critical condition, Western medicine has a unique advantage in being able to quickly take effective treatment measures to save lives. In contrast, TCM's approach may seem slow or too conservative to provide timely and effective medical care in an emergency.
StoryAccording to the relevant legal provisions in the Chinese Economic Law, I hereby give the following legal advice:
1.Article 13 of the "Medical **" stipulates that medical institutions and medical personnel shall respect patients' right to know and choose, and shall not interfere with patients' behaviors and decisions on medical rights and interests with other factors.
2.Article 8 of the "Chinese Medicine **" stipulates that when providing medical services, TCM institutions and TCM medical personnel shall follow the basic theories, basic knowledge and basic principles of TCM to ensure that the medical behavior is suitable for the characteristics of patients and the type of disease.
3.Article 11 of the Law on Traditional Chinese Medicine stipulates that no unit or individual may discriminate against or undermine the development of traditional Chinese medicine in any way.
4.Article 2 of the Opinions of the Office of the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine on Strengthening the Training of Traditional Chinese Medicine Personnel stipulates that the purpose of strengthening the training of Chinese medicine talents is to promote the prosperity and development of traditional Chinese medicine and protect the uniqueness and scientific nature of traditional Chinese medicine.
5.Article 15 of the Physicians Law stipulates that medical personnel have the responsibility to continuously improve their medical standards and professional ethics and to take care of patients' lives and health.
From the above legal provisions, we can conclude that both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine have their own unique advantages and disadvantages, and should be respected and used for reference by each other in medical services, rather than being excluded and denied by a single one. At the same time, it is also necessary to strengthen the cultivation of traditional Chinese medicine talents, promote the development of traditional Chinese medicine, and provide people with better medical choices.
