Chapter 381 Traditional Chinese Medicine is not God
There is a rare time to have a leisure time in the emergency department.
After undergoing surgery in the morning, Fang Han rested alone in the lounge until lunch.
The nurses and all the residents also knew that Fang Han should be tired after undergoing more than four hours of surgery, so no one disturbed Fang Han.
After lunch, Fang Han continued to sit in the lounge and played with his cell phone. A nurse brought tea and desserts.
Dr. Fang's life in the hospital is always comfortable. When he is free, countless people take turns to feed him. In addition to the tea and desserts sent by the nurses, Leng Leng also brought fruits.
"Doctor Fang, thank you so much this time. My second brother and I have been taken care of by our elder brother for so many years. Our tuition and living expenses are paid by our elder brother. Now my second brother has finally made a fortune and I will graduate soon. If my elder brother has any accidents, we will not even have a chance to repay you."
"Ms. Leng is so polite. I am a doctor. These are all things I should do."
Fang Han did not reject Leng Ling's fruits, but it was limited to this. You should be kind enough to have it.
It is a manifestation of self-emotion for patients to express gratitude to the doctor, but the doctor cannot take it for granted.
"Doctor Fang, you are too modest." Leng Ling looked at Fang Han, not knowing what to say. She is not a girl who is good at taking the initiative.
"Dr. Fang!"
The door of the lounge was pushed in, and Jiang Feng's head poked in.
"Is there something wrong?"
"A patient has come, and the situation is a bit special." Jiang Feng said hurriedly.
Fang Han stood up and gave Leng Ling a polite smile: "Miss Leng, thank you for your fruit, I'm going to do my job."
As he spoke, Fang Han went out and followed Leng Cen to the treatment room.
In the treatment room, Wen Xueyi was already checking the patient.
The patient is a woman in her fifties, accompanied by a girl of about 24 or 25 years old.
Seeing Fang Han come in, the girl's eyes lit up immediately and her eyes couldn't move away.
Fang Han did not pay attention to the girl, but directly asked Wen Xueyi: "What's the situation?"
"Dirty and swelling of the brain." Wen Xueyi is just a doctor in orthopedics and is not good at internal medicine diagnosis. Especially without the cooperation of instruments, Wen Xueyi's ability is even more severe, so he can only tell Fang Han about some subjective situation.
"I just took my blood pressure and my blood pressure was very high. The patient also had a history of hypertension for ten years. It should be caused by dizziness, swelling and dizziness caused by hypertension."
The girl next to her hurriedly said, "My mother has been having high blood pressure. She was cooking lunch yesterday and suddenly felt dizzy and couldn't stand steadily. She hung a drip in a nearby clinic for a day and got much better, but she was in trouble again at noon today and was very dizzy."
Fang Han nodded, walked over and sat down, signaled the patient to reach out and asked while taking the pulse: "What's going on now?"
"I'm still dizzy, dizzy, and can't see clearly. I've been dizzy before. It's much better to take a little dizzy tablet, but this time I took the medicine but it didn't work."
Fang Han changed his hands again, asked the patient's urine and defecation and appetite, then looked at the patient's tongue coating and eyes, pondered for a moment, and asked again: "Do you have any problems with your cervical spine?"
"There is no cervical spondylosis." The girl next to her hurriedly said.
Fang Han didn't say anything, walked to the side to wash his hands, applied alcohol gel to disinfect it, and then walked behind the patient and reached out to touch the patient's cervical spine.
"Yeah, it hurts." Fang Han reached out and pressed it gently, and the patient shouted in pain, with obvious tenderness.
"Doctor Wen can take a look, too." Fang Han stopped and said to Wen Xueyi.
Wen Xueyi also hurriedly washed his hands, sterilized them, and walked up to touch the patient's cervical spine.
"The patient's first, fifth and sixth cervical vertebrae all have obvious tenderness, and local soft tissue spasms, so there are quite a problem with the cervical vertebrae."
Wen Xueyi looked at Fang Han. As a top student in the bone and joint movement center, Wen Xueyi still has this ability.
Even though he believed in his own abilities, Wen Xueyi was still a little involuntarily unconfident in front of Fang Han.
This lack of confidence is based on Fang Han's gradual strength.
As Dr. Wen slowly got into contact with Fang Han, he gradually became more confident from the beginning and became less confident.
I think when Wen Xueyi first stayed in Jiang Intermediate People's Court, there was no intern Fang Han in his eyes, even though Fang Han treated a not-so-simple patient on the day he arrived.
Many times, doctors’ sense of superiority is naturally formed. They graduated from Yanjing Medical University, interned at Yanjing Bone and Joint Sports Center, and became a disciple of Academician Yun Linchao, Vice President of the Institute of Engineering of China. This is the source of Wen Xueyi’s sense of superiority.
But even if Wen Xueyi has the above advantages, it is definitely not enough to make him confident in front of a doctor who does a joint replacement better than him and has an international standard for hepatectomy.
"Yes." Fang Han nodded: "Send the patient to have a cervical CT.
"Okay." The girl hurriedly helped her mother up.
Fang Han signaled Wen Xueyi to issue a checklist first, and notify him when the results came out, and then walked out of the treatment room.
After half a year of internship in the emergency department, Fang Han gradually began to get used to some of the life and rules of the hospital, and was not completely independent.
Even in a traditional Chinese medicine hospital, even if it is completely clear, Fang Han is willing to ask the patient to do an extra examination to confirm the diagnosis.
Of course, saving a cervical CT can save patients some of the costs, but in fact, the patient may not be grateful, and other doctors in the hospital may not like it.
The advantages of technology can be admired, and the authoritative and unsociable behavior style can make people feel disgusted.
Humans are always group animals and cannot be completely independent and separate from the group.
From the perspective of the hospital, all equipment has costs, and using it or not is different.
From the perspective of most doctors, if others use it, you don’t use it, it will make people feel the difference. From the perspective of patients, most people may trust the examination results of modern equipment more.
The keeping pace with the times of traditional Chinese medicine is not just based on simple medical skills, but also on people's hearts and other considerations.
The world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit. Although hospitals are not profitable institutions, hospitals are not simply money-lossing institutions. Hospitals that cannot make ends meet will not last long. This is reality.
Reality is not a fairy tale, and the social economy has not yet reached a more idealized era.
Therefore, traditional Chinese medicine that cannot bring a lot of income to the hospital but needs to occupy various resources will inevitably be excluded.
At the same time, the theory of traditional Chinese medicine was established relatively early and did not conform to modern educational cognition. This led to most people not having a good understanding of the treatment concept of traditional Chinese medicine. No matter how accurate your pulse diagnosis is or how powerful your method is, the patient may not trust 100%. At this time, a modern examination and diagnosis may increase a certain degree of persuasion.
The same goes for the saying, when patients treat the disease, they don’t need to know the reason, but they want to know why, what disease they are suffering from, how did the disease come about, etc.
But in fact, some Chinese medicine practitioners always like to say profound words that patients cannot understand in order to make a secret or show their mystery.
The disease may be cured, but the patient may not recognize it.
Many times, the reason why patients regard Chinese medicine curing their own diseases as luck is also related to some Chinese medicine practitioners’ deliberate and profound behavior.
Some Chinese medicine practitioners like to deify traditional Chinese medicine.
In some places, we sometimes hear words like "There is a miracle doctor somewhere, and the medical skills are very good." Most of these miracle doctors are traditional Chinese medicine.
But in fact, traditional Chinese medicine is not a god. The deification of traditional Chinese medicine is the biggest injustice to traditional Chinese medicine.
Traditional Chinese medicine is based on a large amount of medical practice and is an empirical medicine accumulated over the long years, medicine, not gods.
Becoming a god is easy, but the consequences are miserable. Not everyone can bear the consequences of falling from the altar. God will not make mistakes. Traditional Chinese medicine can do it. God is omnipotent, but traditional Chinese medicine cannot do everything, so traditional Chinese medicine is not God.
Looking for a Chinese medicine doctor is not about seeking gods and worshiping Buddhas, and Chinese medicine practitioners should not deify themselves.
......
Jiang Feng immediately notified Fang Han when the patient's cervical CT resulted.
Fang Han took the CT result for reference and pointed it to the patient: "Look, here, here, there is a dislocation between the first cervical vertebra and the second cervical vertebra."
As he spoke, Fang Han pointed to the human cervical spine model in the treatment room again: "The normal cervical spine should look like this, but now your cervical spine is like this, and the first cervical spine has shifted to the left."
The patient could not understand the CT tablet, but could see the difference. After referring to it, the patient immediately saw the problem and asked hurriedly: "What do you mean is that I took the medicine for dizziness this time and did not work because of the cervical spine problem?"
This is the benefit of modern examination results. Before Fang Han could say that the patient would have some guesses.
If there is any connection between hypertension and cervical spine problems, if there is no reference to the examination results, Fang Han will speak vernacularly, and the patient may not believe it.
Fang Han nodded: "Yes, your situation this time is caused by a cervical spine problem. On the edge of this cervical spine is the vertebral artery, which is responsible for supplying blood to the brain. When the first cervical spine is shifted to the left, the vertebral artery will be squeezed. After being squeezed, the blood flow will decrease, which will cause cerebral ischemia."
Wen Xueyi was standing next to him all the time. He was also a little surprised at this moment and couldn't help but interrupt, "Doctor Fang, according to you, the patient's hypertension may also be caused by this cervical spine problem?"
Fang Han nodded: "If the blood supply to the brain is insufficient, it will cause dysfunction and dizziness, and it will also cause abnormal blood pressure increase and other conditions. The patient has hypertension, but the cervical spine problem is the root cause of abnormal blood pressure, dizziness, dizziness and other symptoms."
Fang Han explained clearly, and they also understood it very clearly.
