Chapter 3998 [87] The Contradiction Lies
"Dr. Wen, I know you are very famous in Dongqu, and I would like to ask your thoughts. Do you agree with Professor Wang's method? I heard that the prescriptions you prescribe are actually as mild as Professor Wang's."
Although the febrile disease school advocates clearing away fire and heat, the medicines used are relatively mild and do not contain strong medicines.
You said that this patient is about to become obstructed. Is it really useful to supplement it? As Western medicine doctors fear, is there a miracle tonic?
No wonder the school of febrile diseases is famous. It may have been discovered early in clinical practice. All the way, we only knew that it was ineffective if we didn't reduce the fire.
As a modern doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, Wen Jinsheng was more candid, saying bluntly to the patients' families: "I personally believe that force-feeding patients is not acceptable now."
Originally, considering whether patients with intestinal obstruction should preventive fasting. Otherwise, Western medicine won’t dare to use laxatives.
Taking laxatives may promote intestinal peristalsis and push food into the obstructed area, making the patient's condition more serious.
When the other family members heard this: Hey, that makes sense.
It is golden if Western doctors continue to remain silent: Let’s first look at the outcome of the quarrel among Chinese doctors.
Professor Wang quickly clarified: "Of course, try a small amount first."
Would a small amount of medicine be effective for such a weak patient?
This time everyone basically had deep doubts about Professor Wang's statement.
Seeing that the situation in front of him was not right, Professor Wang turned to ask Wen Jinsheng directly: "What method do you want to use?"
"That's why I invited her here." Wen Jinsheng said about his cousin.
"You invited her, not her teacher." Professor Wang caught his words and raised doubts again, "Or did you and her teacher invite her together?"
The family members and Western doctors collectively felt strange as to why Professor Wang seemed to be targeting Dr. Wen Zihan.
"I'm not targeting her personally, I just find it strange. I heard that her teacher asked her not to go to the clinic after returning to China." Professor Wang said the reason.
Being banned by the teacher from attending clinics, what specific "bad things" did Dr. Wen Zihan do? A lot of people's eyes flashed with surprise.
At this point, Wen Jinsheng simply told the whole story: "Her teacher, Professor Mo, does not approve of her studying abroad."
Let’s go on to talk about what Dr. James Wan did that shocked the world in the Chinese medicine circle.
Under such circumstances, when even Wen Jinsheng was worried about whether to speak out for his cousin, Wen Zihan suddenly said on his own: "The conflict between me and my teacher is that I raised academic doubts about the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic."
The problem with not covering up is because covering up in clinical practice will only make patients’ families feel distrustful of doctors.
As a doctor, my cousin's immediate decision was right. Wen Jinsheng sighed. As for my cousin, she is indeed academically courageous.
The Huangdi Neijing has a Bible-like existence in the circle of Chinese medicine. Throughout the ancient history of traditional Chinese medicine, most academic views are based on the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic.
However, it goes without saying that some of the medical academic views in this book have been falsified by modern science.
Some people in traditional Chinese medicine say that it is because modern science has not studied it, so they cannot say it is wrong.
In fact, it certainly cannot be such a quibble.
First of all, we must correct our attitude. It is not a medical work. Medical works must constantly be tested and revised by new scientific discoveries.
This is the development path of Western medicine. We will never say that ancient Western medicine is correct in any way. If Chinese medicine is a science and not a religion, we cannot say this.
