Chapter 593 (1/2)
Although Xia Ruyan has been practicing medicine for many years, most of his previous contacts are western medicine.
Along with traditional Chinese medicine, she also dabbles in some things, but it's just skin.
So when he heard Jiang chenkou's ”ancient practice of medicine”, he suddenly showed a look of doubt and curiosity.
However, Jiang Chen frowned slightly and said awkwardly: ”the so-called ancient medical practice is just a general statement. It's hard for me to explain exactly what it is. ”
Xia Ruyan frowned slightly: ”but I really want to listen to these, you can tell me about them.”
Jiang Chen thought for a moment and said: ”people who don't know how to do it can say that traditional Chinese medicine is mostly deceptive. If they know something about it, they only know the four diagnostic methods of traditional Chinese medicine.
In fact, it's just a simple and straightforward statement. Li zhongzi, a master of medical ethics in the Ming Dynasty,
Once said in ”Yizong must read - Xingfang zhiyuanxin xiaodanda Lun”: seeing, hearing and asking should be detailed, reinforcing and relieving cold and warming should be distinguished!
The simple explanation of this sentence means that seeing, hearing and asking is just to check the surface of the patient. When the patient is really treated, it needs to be checked carefully.
Just like the most simple warm disease, there are countless ways to cure it. We can never generalize. If we make a mistake, we will kill people. ”
After listening to Jiang Chen's words, Xia Ruyan was silent for a moment, and then said: ”this is the same as the principle that western medicine first uses equipment to detect various pathogens when examining diseases.”
Jiang Chen shrugged: ”it's the same, but no matter how accurate the equipment and instruments are, it's impossible to see through the disease, especially some minor problems.
Sometimes, after being photographed with an instrument, it looks like a small sarcoma at first sight, but there are many kinds of sarcomas, and the pathogens of sarcomas are different.
If the operation is only carried out according to the place photographed by the instrument, I am afraid it will only treat the surface of the disease, and the root of the disease has not been completely removed. ”
At this point, Jiang Chen said: ”and this is what people often say that the course of treatment of Western medicine is fast, but it can not cure the root cause, while the course of treatment of traditional Chinese medicine is long, but it can cure the disease!”
Although what Jiang Chen said is only one-sided, it is also beneficial to Xia Ruyan.
She couldn't help being curious and asked, ”what are the specific ways of practicing medicine in ancient China that you call” interesting ”
Jiang Chen thought for a moment, said: ”the so-called fun is generally divided into two situations, one is to arouse the patient's curiosity.
Let the patient with a sense of curiosity, watch the traditional Chinese medicine for his treatment, and the way, basically are also those of traditional Chinese medicine. It's just a little more mysterious. ”
Xia Ruyan thought: ”it's like watching ghost stories, right? People don't believe that there are ghosts in the world, but when they see the beginning of the story, they can't help but look down with curiosity
Jiang Chen nodded and said, ”that's about what it means. In fact, the use of this method has been reflected in many TV dramas.”
”TV series?” Xia Ruyan frowns.
Jiang Chen said with a smile: ”the most classic is the sixty-eight chapters of journey to the West. I remember that episode was called” monk Zhu Zi's comment on the three fold arm of the former grandson. ”
Hearing this, Xia Ruyan's eyes suddenly brightened: ”is that the episode that monkey sun feels the pulse for the female king of Zhu Ziguo?”
Jiang Chen nodded and said, ”yes, in ancient times, men and women were not related. When male doctors gave diagnosis and treatment to female patients, they mostly used the method of hanging silk to feel their pulse.
