Medical Sovereign

The two elders came to Ding Ning's ward with notebooks to report on time every morning. They sat rigidly like elementary school students and recorded every word of Ding Ning devoutly.

The three hit it off and became old friends, but when facing academic issues, they would quarrel and blush because of their different opinions. The most intense time was when Zhang Lao and Hu Lao stroked their sleeves, blowing their beards and staring and almost fighting. It was only under Ding Ning's earnest persuasion that the fighting turned into friendship, and after a while, they were talking and laughing happily.

Ding Ning shook his head and smiled wryly. These two old men are just like old urchins, with a pure heart, no distracting thoughts, noble medical ethics, and their own beliefs and persistence.

These are two old men who truly have the benevolence of a doctor and are selfless, which is why Ding Ning is willing to teach them everything.

The decline of Chinese medicine is inseparable from the self-preservation of practitioners of Chinese medicine. Every school has a serious concept of succession from teacher to teacher. They hold their own medical skills firmly in their hands and never spread them easily.

The ancient concept of succession from teacher to teacher has been deeply rooted, coupled with the pollution of the environment, the extinction of rare Chinese herbal medicines, some good prescriptions have no substitutes for Chinese herbal medicines.

As a result, some half-baked Chinese medicine practitioners began to bluff and deceive, rendering Chinese medicine as miraculous and defrauding them of property.

What's more, Chinese medicine is mainly based on nourishment, and it is not as effective as Western medicine in treating diseases. It is necessary to pay attention to diet, work and rest, etc. living habits, and to quit smoking, drinking and other bad habits.

This is obviously inappropriate for the high-efficiency and fast-paced work and life in modern society.

Over time, the real Chinese medicine was labeled as pseudoscience, and the trust of patients was lost. When sick, they would rather go to Western medicine than believe in Chinese medicine, which led to the decline of Chinese medicine.

"In our hands, the medical treasures left by our ancestors have not been carried forward and used to save the world, but have also been labeled as pseudoscience. This is the sin of our descendants."

"When I talk about this, I am heartbroken. Mr. Hu and I once organized an exchange meeting on Chinese medicine to exchange ideas, learn from each other, discuss with each other, promote everyone's common progress, and change the current situation of Chinese medicine. However, in the eyes of many people, There are only benefits, but the good-for-nothing academic exchange meeting has turned into a commercial reception for gaining power, making connections, and signing medicinal material sales contracts. What is going on with people now? If this continues, the things left by our ancestors will slowly fade away. Even Koryo Bangzi, who has no cultural background, knows to vigorously develop Korean medicine. Fusang’s Chinese patent medicine research ranks in the forefront of the world, but our Shenzhou country is obviously the birthplace of Han medicine, but now even Korea and Korea Even Fusang can’t compare, if things go on like this, will there still be our own medical culture in China?”

"I started learning Chinese medicine when I was young. At that time, my master accepted apprentices, and he had to test his character and medical ethics before he was eligible to enter. But what about the people now? They are all mercenary, and they put profit first. If this continues, we will be dead. What face do we have to face our ancestors!"

Speaking of the current situation of Chinese medicine, the two elderly people beat their chests and stamped their feet in grief, feeling depressed and difficult to calm down.

These words shocked Ding Ning a lot. To be honest, he likes to save lives, and he likes to watch dying patients get new life in his hands.

He doesn't care about the patient's gratitude. What he enjoys is the fun of robbing people from the god of death, which fills his heart with a sense of accomplishment. The decline of Chinese medicine has nothing to do with him.

But the selfless feelings and noble morals of the two old people deeply moved him and made him realize his narrow-mindedness.

Yes, if the entire Chinese medicine industry has no breeding ground on our own land and is banned and blocked, how can he cure diseases and save lives even if he has strong medical skills?

Even the entire Chinese medicine industry has become a street mouse that everyone shouts and beats. Who would believe him, an authentic Chinese medicine practitioner? Who will let him go to the doctor?

On the other hand,

Western medicine has entered China and won the trust of the Chinese people. Isn't this an alternative cultural invasion?

Ding Ning was terrified when he thought about it carefully, and he felt a strong sense of mission in his heart. He firmly believed that the activation of his ability by the stone man was itself a sign, a sign of a great mission from heaven.

Could it be that the supernatural power was created to make me a savior of Chinese medicine, Ding Ning thought narcissistically.

"By the way, brother, do you have a license to practice Chinese medicine?" Mr. Hu suddenly asked.

Ding Ning is also very helpless about the title of senior brother. The two old men in their seventies and eighties must say that there is no priority in learning, and the master is the teacher.

After he refused the request to accept apprentices, the two old people insisted on calling him senior brother, which made him uncomfortable and felt that he was old.

Shaking his head with a wry smile, he said, "Although I am an ancestral Chinese medicine practitioner, in fact I have been practicing medicine illegally, and I studied western medicine in medical school. Where did I get the qualification certificate for practicing Chinese medicine?"

Mr. Hu and Mr. Zhang seemed not surprised. Mr. Zhang nodded and said: "The problem now is here. Whether it is Western medicine or Chinese medicine, without a license to practice, it is always an unknown teacher. It is okay to say that it is cured. If there is any What a mistake, brother, you have to bear the legal consequences."

Ding Ning scratched his head, and said helplessly: "When I applied for the clinical major of western medicine, I just wanted to study the difference between western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine. In terms of surgery, it does have an advantage over traditional Chinese medicine."

"Advantages?" Mr. Hu frowned: "It's not just an advantage. Traditional Chinese medicine goes back to its origin and mainly focuses on recuperation. It is impossible to perform surgical operations."

"This is wrong. If traditional Chinese medicine cannot perform surgery, Hua Tuo would have dared to perform a craniotomy on Cao Cao to remove the tumor."

"You mean that Chinese medicine can also perform surgery?" Zhang Lao exclaimed in surprise, with unconcealable surprise on his brows.

"That's right, why didn't I think that Hua Tuo invented Mafeisan, since he dared to perform a craniotomy on Cao Cao, he must have mastered surgical techniques, but the concept of inoperable surgery in traditional Chinese medicine has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so it was ignored by people , if Chinese medicine can perform surgery, then this surgical method is definitely more advanced than Western medicine.”

Mr. Hu was rubbing his hands back and forth excitedly, his eyes were shining brightly, "Brother, tell us about it!"

Ding Ning smiled profoundly: "Traditional Chinese medicine can indeed operate, but the requirements for practitioners are very high. I guess I am the only one in the world who can perform this kind of operation."

"How do you say that?" The second elder was a little disappointed, but still asked tirelessly.

Ding Ning smiled and waved his hands, "Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. I'll let the two old men experience it on the spot."

The pulse-cutting hand came out suddenly, and tapped on the second elder's body.

"Oh my God, I'm unconscious, it's like I've been anesthetized, it's amazing."

"Me too. I lost all feeling in my upper body. This is unbelievable. Is this acupuncture?"

Hu Lao and Zhang Lao shouted excitedly.

Ding Ning stretched out his hand to untie them, and shook his head: "This is the pulse cutting hand, which is different from acupuncture. It uses true energy to cut off the central nervous system of the human body's meridians, thereby replacing anesthesia."

"It's really a miraculous method. Can ordinary people use this pulse-cutting hand? Are there any side effects or sequelae if it is used during the operation?"

The two elders are very rigorous people. Although they have seen the magic of the Pulse Interceptor, they did not want to learn at the first time, but to consider whether the Pulse Interceptor will bring any hidden dangers to the patient.

Ding Ning shook his head: "There is no time limit for cutting off the pulse. The effect of cutting off the central nervous system can only last for one hour, that is, two hours. During this time period, it will not bring any harm to the patient. , it can also keep the patient's consciousness awake all the time. Compared with anesthetics, it doesn't even have the side effect of stimulating the brain nerves, and there will be no sequelae such as brain unresponsiveness and leg nerve damage. It can be said that this is better than anesthetics. Countless times, but once two hours have passed, the patient's blood will coagulate, Qi and blood will not flow smoothly, and the brain and heart will not be able to supply blood, resulting in death."

"That's very good. It can be used in simple operations. As long as the operation does not exceed two hours, this is the best anesthesia method."

Mr. Zhang said excitedly, and he and Mr. Hu looked at Ding Ning eagerly.

Ding Ning smiled wryly: "It's not that I don't want to teach, I also want to teach you, so that Chinese medicine can flourish, but this pulse-cutting hand is different from the acupoints in the novel, it doesn't just need to be a fixed acupoint, it needs to be done according to twelve points a day. It is determined by the position of the meridian that the human body's air flow passes through in an hour, and there are strict standards for the strength of the pulse-cutting hand, and there cannot be any mistakes. It will cause irreversible damage to the meridian of the patient, and will cause a series of sequelae, and a bad one will be life-threatening."

Seeing that Ding Ning looked serious, and the two elders stopped entanglement, they knew that what Ding Ning said must be the truth, which made them regretful but also very excited. Mr. Hu stroked his beard and said proudly:

"But no matter what, this is also a great progress of our traditional Chinese medicine. Even if you are the only one who masters this method, it is also good news for patients."

Ding Ning thought for a moment, then said solemnly: "Actually, it's not impossible, but this method has high requirements on doctors, and there must be no deviation."

"What method?" Zhang Lao and Hu Lao's eyes lit up, and they couldn't wait to ask.

"The reason why western medicine can be popular is inseparable from the large-scale manufacturing of western medicine. Even if the same cold medicine can only cure 70% of cold patients, most patients recognize the efficacy of this cold medicine. However, our Chinese medicine is more meticulous, and we pay attention to prescribing the right medicine to the case. The same cold, but the symptoms of two patients cannot be exactly the same, so the medicine will be somewhat different, which is one of the reasons why our Chinese medicine cannot occupy the mainstream of the medical field."

Ding Ning thought about it and said: "Tutting the pulse hand instead of anesthesia is like traditional Chinese medicine. The cut-off point is different at each hour, so the pulse-cutting anesthesia method cannot be widely used. According to my observation, everyone's pulse-cutting point is at a fixed point. The hours are actually the same, can we do this, I mark the pulse-cutting point within a certain fixed time period, and the surgeon will use the pulse-cutting anesthesia method in the operation while stuck in this time period.”

"If this is the case, the surgeon needs to find the cut-off point very accurately. This is indeed a high requirement for the doctor. Only Chinese medicine practitioners who are familiar with the human meridian map can find this point."

Hu Lao said thoughtfully, considering the feasibility of this method.

"Even so, what about strength? How to control it?" Mr. Zhang frowned and asked doubtfully.
