Chapter 489: Medical Development (II)
heard Wang Guorui's words, "What are you guys all about!" Everyone was so frightened that they couldn't speak. It was the first time they had heard that Wang Guorui was so angry, which made everyone scared. And everyone didn't know why Wang Guorui was so angry, but everyone chose to be silent, and then began to listen to Wang Guorui's teachings. And Wang Guorui's face was also very bad, looking at Huang Feihong and Fang Peibo, and then his face turned dark.
"Huang Feihong, Fang Peibo, this is the military hospital you made? I'm so disappointed in you, so disappointed, so disappointed. Wang Guorui said.
Wang Guorui used three "too disappointed" in a row to describe his dissatisfaction, Huang Feihong and Fang Peibo were almost frightened, and then they didn't let go of a single fart immediately.
"Do you know what you're doing wrong? You actually want to balance the competition between Chinese and Western medicine in this way, and you are only making things bigger. You have forcibly separated traditional Chinese medicine from Western medicine, and one is so clear-cut, is this the attitude that should be taken towards academics? You should have heard the saying that science has no borders, and whether it is Chinese medicine or Western medicine, it is all medicine, but we should absorb knowledge from each other. And as you all know, Hua Tuo almost had a craniotomy back then, and that may be the first craniotomy in ancient China. If it can be done, then such a so-called operation will become our traditional Chinese medicine. Although this is our regret, it is enough to show that medicine has no absolute borders, and surgery is not unique to Western medicine. Strictly speaking, there is not much difference between Chinese medicine and Western medicine, both of which treat patients. ”
"If you can't treat the patient, it means that the medicine won't work. It doesn't matter if it's a black cat or a white cat, it's a good cat if it catches a mouse. And you actually want to set up a vice president of traditional Chinese medicine in this military hospital, a vice president who has a background in Western medicine. Then Chinese and Western medicine took turns to master the military hospital. Although you had a fight, it was only an academic dispute, a dispute over how to better and more effectively treat human diseases, but by doing so, you turned the academic dispute into a political struggle. In doing so, you are definitely not easing the contradictions, but on the contrary, you are escalating them into political struggles. The problem is complicated. ”
Wang Guorui is very disappointed in the ability of these guys to solve problems, because in the final analysis, Chinese and Western medicine are actually for human beings to solve the problem, and Chinese and Western medicine are actually "means", not the end. Whether it is Chinese or Western medicine, the purpose is to solve all kinds of diseases for human health and human beings. Traditional Chinese and Western medicine are just "means" based on this purpose, and the means and methods used are actually nothing more than an academic dispute.
Academic battles are classified as academic battles, and politics must not be involved. Academics are pragmatic. Especially in science, it is necessary to be absolutely precise and pragmatic, and there can be no false and empty space. Once science is involved in politics, I am afraid that a lot of false and big empty things will also come out. It's like a crazy era in later generations, when science was also kidnapped by politics, and it was really a sad time for science at that time. Science does not tolerate any false emptiness, this is inevitable, so Wang Guorui will never let the academic battle rise into a political battle.
But these "idiots" from the military hospital actually came up with this method. I want to coexist peacefully through political balance. In this way, the originally good scientific and academic struggle has become a political battle, and science has become a bargaining chip in the political battle. And then how credible is such science, and who else will feel at ease with R&D science? So this kind of thing has to be suppressed, and if it is not suppressed, it will not work, and once science is involved in politics, it is definitely a problem.
"In the future, you must not engage in this kind of separation of Chinese and Western medicine. And then take turns to master the practices of military hospitals. If you want to be the dean, you can! I don't care if you are a Chinese medicine or a Western doctor, you show your results. Whoever can cure more patients, who can develop more treatments, who can prevent more patients from injury and illness. Then I can promote him, and even be willing to give him a bonus, maybe even a higher title. Everything is based on your own results, not on any political factors, understand? Medicine is also medicine, don't make it look like a political factor. What was supposed to be a good scientific research has been made into politics by you, how can this be done? Therefore, in the future, all the results will be looked at, and don't expect any Chinese and Western medicine to be managed separately. If you don't work hard, then don't think about seeking honor through any other means. ”
"Tell you that if you can't do enough, then I won't continue to support you. Whether it's Chinese medicine or Western medicine, if you don't fight yourself, then don't blame me for being unkind. ”
But Huang Feihong immediately said; "Lord Wang, if you don't support traditional Chinese medicine, how can you inherit and develop it after traditional Chinese medicine?"
"What's the use of relying on me to support me, if I can't support Adou, then my support is also in vain. Of course, I'm not saying that Chinese medicine can't help me, I just want to say that everything still depends on your own efforts, not just government support. I chose to protect TCM, not to make TCM bureaucratic, not to protect TCM unprincipledly. The ultimate goal of medicine is to cure diseases and save lives, not to involve politics. Whether it is Chinese medicine or Western medicine, in the end, it is still the same path, and there will not be much difference. In the past, TCM relied on experience to diagnose and treat, and it was impossible to arrive at a complete scientific system. You all rely on experience to use medicine, but why don't you try to analyze the medicinal value of those Chinese herbs, what ingredients are working? Why can't you extract those useful ingredients through some means and make them into pills? Wang Guorui asked.
Huang Feihong immediately asked, "Isn't this the practice of Western medicine?" ”
"Again, I said that Chinese and Western medicine are all different paths in the end, there is not much difference, just different research directions. Who says that Chinese medicine can't analyze the chemical composition of herbal medicines? For so many dynasties, TCM physicians relied on experience to diagnose and treat, and could not specifically analyze the chemical components inside. And now that the conditions are available, why not use advanced chemical equipment to analyze the ingredients in the herbs? ”
"Also, now that Western medicine has so many advanced instruments, why can't we find some information from the classics of Chinese medicine? Those TCM texts are a treasure trove of countless experiences of our predecessors. Through various means, they even did not hesitate to test the data obtained by themselves, although they did not have perfect experimental equipment, but they were able to test a lot of data. And thousands of years of research, that's a treasure trove! If other Western medicine finds a drug to treat a certain disease from hundreds of thousands of compounds, it is a needle in a haystack, but looking for it from so many Chinese medicine classics is also looking for a needle from a bowl. And the experience of those predecessors can greatly narrow down the scope of investigation, and then develop into their own discoveries. Therefore, the so-called Chinese and Western medicine should not be antagonistic, but cooperative. If you can't cooperate, then you can only go further and further in the end, and then there will be countless twists and turns on the road of medicine. Everyone is for scientific research, for the sake of alleviating the suffering of the sick, and you are basing your so-called honor on the suffering of countless patients. If so, then I'm sure I won't reuse it for you. ”
Wang Guorui thought about it, and then finally said: "I suggest that a discipline should be established, called integrated Chinese and Western medicine." This discipline specializes in cultivating those who study the therapies of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, and then through the combination of Chinese and Western medicine, more sparks can collide from this thinking. Medicine is both a science and an art, and it should be developed by absorbing the strengths of a hundred schools. Therefore, in major hospitals, it is not possible to distinguish between Chinese and Western medicine in such a clear way, and it is necessary to cooperate more, and then establish a research institute of integrated Chinese and Western medicine. As long as we can combine Chinese and Western medicine, we will be able to develop a lot of new sparks. ”
In later generations, many drugs were also invented using the method of integrated Chinese and Western medicine, which is not a new thing in later generations. In this modern period, this is not the case at all. In modern China, this kind of medical thinking has been taken to the extreme. Either they see that Western medicine is advanced, and they completely deny Chinese medicine, or even say that Chinese medicine is witchcraft. The other kind of thinking is with a very strong idea of national hatred, which is extremely rejecting Western medicine and then protecting Chinese medicine. The more the country is invaded, the more it maintains the things of its ancestors and refuses to give up any outdated ideas. He even said that he would maintain his national identity in the name of maintaining his national identity, and then label those who advocated learning from foreign countries as traitors.
In fact, these are not necessary, medicine is also a science, how can you develop yourself without learning from others? So a lot of people are too extreme, and this is also a modern time that has received too much aggression, so the has become very extreme. It is necessary to protect national traditions, but it does not exclude the reason for foreign advanced science and technology. However, when dealing with foreign things, we cannot treat them with extreme national thoughts, and we will suffer from the ultimate loss of foreign goods and the refusal to learn advanced foreign science. Such an extreme rejection of science can only end up being self-contained, and then blocking its own long-term development path. Science knows no borders, and once science is confused with the struggle between countries and nations, it is actually nothing more than closing oneself to oneself, which is no different from closing oneself off from the country in the past.
