Practicing business and practicing medicine

Chapter 99 Limitations of Traditional Chinese Medicine

Bian Mu and the others were young after all. Before eleven o'clock in the evening, they had basically visited the entire night market.

"Are you hungry? There is a tea soup wonton stall over there. Can you have something to eat?" Bian Mu greeted.

"That's an Internet celebrity stall. There will be more people soon. Let's go!" As he spoke, Xiao He walked quickly towards the snack stall.

The stall owner is an old lady in her seventies, with half-white hair. She looks very energetic. The food stall is kept very clean inside and outside. If you just find a seat and sit down, you will feel at home.

Bian Mu had a large portion of rice. In addition to one wonton, he also had two donkey meats grilled on fire.

"Doctor Bian! Did the stall owner just talk about traditional test questions or did he suffer from that disease himself?" Xiaohe asked curiously.

"That is a traditional Chinese medicine examination question, from the "Yi Lin Bian Jing", which was written in the late Ming Dynasty. Later generations continued to revise it and it has been handed down for a long time."

"Is it classic?"

"It's hard to say, it's barely a middle-grade reading! Many explanations about the causes and pharmacology of diseases are out of date. If people treat diseases based on those things, they will most likely be misdiagnosed. Contemporary Chinese medicine still has to take the path of combining Chinese and Western medicine, and integrating Chinese bone and Western medicine, and finally take the path of Passing the threshold of digital technology will lead to the completion of the medical framework of traditional Chinese medicine. By then, many diseases can basically be cured." Bian Mu elaborated in broad strokes with a smile.

"The stall owner seemed quite convinced."

"How about he set up a street stall! Many professional Chinese medicine doctors in the world still adhere to a very traditional theoretical system. Many diseases cannot be cured at all, and some that can be cured are misdiagnosed. It is too rigid!" After finishing one! The donkey meat was burning, and Bian Mu's face looked quite emotional.

"You mean that stall owner knows how to treat patients?"

"You know a little bit. I can fool you for a few times if you have a headache or a fever. It's hard for me to treat outsiders. People are so smart nowadays! Most people don't believe him!" Bian Mu explained with a smile.

"Then the set of used books you bought should also fall into the category of traditional Chinese medicine, right?"

"That's right! This set of books is quite good. It provides a large number of real medical cases, which are very rare. It can be seen that the author records the facts and his attitude is quite rigorous. In addition, this set of books also mentions traditional Chinese medicine surgery. It’s quite rare.”

"Really? Then you made a big mistake?"

"That's not to say that there is no unique secret book in traditional Chinese medicine. They are all used by charlatans to deceive people. At most, they will help us understand traditional Chinese medicine more deeply."

"After what you said, I seem to understand a lot of things. Then...are you still practicing kung fu? I see that you have picked out several old martial arts magazines!"

"Treatment by traditional Chinese medicine is quite labor-intensive. When you encounter patients with bone diseases, you sometimes have to work all morning. If you don't have any foundation in martial arts, you won't be able to get it. You don't know something. Since ancient times, medicine and martial arts have not been separated. Okay, how far has it progressed that I asked you to find a martial arts teacher in school?"

"I found one, a female teacher, who teaches more than 30 people at the same time, including classmates, teachers, and martial arts enthusiasts in society. It's free."

"Then you practice hard."

"I will. The stall owner just now looked very worldly. Why did he only charge you 100 yuan?"

“Let’s take a long time to catch the big fish!”

"How to say?"

"If I'm not wrong, the stall owner's main business should be in the ghost market. The night market business is just a cover. Based on his knowledge, he believes that I will visit the ghost market sooner or later. He has prepared things in advance and is waiting for me there. ! If you don’t knock it, that’s it. If you knock it, knock it as big as a pen.”

"What a guy! So insidious!" Xiao He exclaimed.

"It's not like doing business! Caveat emptor."

"Then you will definitely not patronize the ghost market!"

"Go! Why don't you go? You should understand the world's conditions and people's livelihood. Besides, it is really possible to find special treasures in that kind of place!"

"Then you must call me when you go!"

"It depends on how far you have practiced Qian Chang Quan. In a ghost market, it would be strange if there were no ghosts! If we disagree, I have to rely on my true ability to escape. You are going to follow me, but I can't take care of both ends at the same time."

Upon hearing this, he curled his lips, and a very disappointed look appeared on Xiaohe's face.

"Study with peace of mind at school! It's best not to touch a place like a ghost market if you don't have any foundation in life. Your curiosity must be directed to the right place."

"Okay! It's up to you!"

After eating, Bian Mu scanned the QR code to pay, and after saying a few polite words to the stall owner, they walked slowly toward the street.

On this day, just in time for wages to be paid, Bian Mu received a total of more than 22,000. It was the first time he received such a high salary in less than a full month, and Bian Mu was extremely happy.

Through mobile banking, Bian Mu transferred 20,000 yuan to his mother, leaving only more than 2,000 yuan for himself.

Knowing that Bian Mu could earn so much money in the city, everyone in the Bian family was overjoyed. They all said that the family's move to the city was just around the corner.

At noon that day, just before twelve o'clock, Bian Mu got off work on time and was sorting out work notes in the clinic when Assistant Zhang opened the door and walked in.

"Mrs. Luo went to Shanghai Island to attend the PEN Conference. It's easier to get in and out of Mr. Luo's house. We think it would be safer for you to conduct an on-site inspection. What do you think?"

"Okay! Are you leaving now?"

"Yeah! I'll treat you to dinner later."

"Don't stay at his house. It's awkward. Let's eat outside!"

"Okay! I'll wait for you at the back door of the hospital!"

"Okay! See you later!" After saying that, Bian Mu locked his work notes in the drawer.

As soon as Bian Mu left, Dr. Wu opened the door and walked in. She couldn't find her mobile phone. She thought she might have left it in the consulting room. She searched for it for a long time but couldn't find it. Inadvertently, Dr. Wu asked Bian Mu who was working there. The small copper lock on the drawer under the table glanced at it for a few times, seeming thoughtful.

There are several houses in the Luo family. After running down this trip, I could see sweat on my back even as I showered.

After taking a lot of photos and videos, the memory of the phone was no longer enough. Bian Mu borrowed Assistant Zhang's laptop to record all the key points.

Seeing that it was almost time to go to work in the afternoon, the two had no choice but to buy a few burgers and two drinks at a fast food restaurant to make a meal.

At around seven o'clock in the evening, Bian Mu stayed in the dormitory to draw a "livable home improvement plan" for Luo Jiaming. He hadn't used 3D model building software for a long time. The software had been upgraded to several versions, and Bian Mu was somewhat in a hurry.

"Bang...bang...bang..." Someone knocked on the door.

When I opened the door, I saw an old gentleman with gray hair and a boyish face.

"Ouch! Mr. Huang! Why are you here? Come in quickly! Say hello if you need anything, and I will visit you! How can I ask you to condescend to come and see me!" As he spoke, Bian Mu quickly invited Mr. Huang Boxi. Go inside.

It was late at night, so it was not suitable to drink tea, so Bian Mu had to wash some fresh fruits to entertain the old gentleman.

"The prescription you prescribed is really effective. My distant nephew who was not up to expectations is much better. He called me to thank you! I just got off work. I looked up and saw the light in your room, thinking that you were not on duty in the emergency department. , come up to say hello to you, I have a small courtyard in the countryside, and I will be in time to attend a big market in two days. I wonder if it is convenient for the doctor nearby? Come and sit in my small courtyard? "

"Okay! I like to go to the market. When will it be?"

"You are the backbone of the hospital, so we'd better spend Saturday together! We'll leave on Saturday afternoon and come back on Sunday night. We won't delay anything. However, you have to stay at my place for one night. Do you mind?"

"Look what you said, the beautiful scenery of the mountainous countryside is something you can only dream of. Then let me pack up and we can set off as soon as we get off work on Saturday afternoon?"

"Doctor Bian is such a cheerful person, so I won't bother you. See you later!"

"Is your home far from our hospital?"

"Across the street, there is a fund-raising house owned by my lover's employer. The house is a bit small and there are many people living there, so I don't have the nerve to invite you to my house."

"You're too polite! I'm not that particular, so please take your time on the road!" As he spoke, Bian Mu politely sent Mr. Huang to the elevator entrance and waited until the old man entered the elevator. Then I waved goodbye to the old man.
