Chinese medicine: from rural hospitals to top three hospitals in Kyoto

"Does Dr. Chen perform surgery every day?"

While eating, Xun Jiahong talked to Chen Yang. He wanted to know more about Chen Yang.

"Not really. I just plan to set aside some time every week to practice after the Spring Festival." Chen Yang said.

"Doctor Chen plans to study Western medicine as well?" Xun Jiahong felt very complicated when he heard Chen Yang's calm words.

Before meeting Chen Yang, no one had ever acted so nonchalantly in front of Xun Jiahong.

"Not really."

Chen Yang pondered for a moment and said, "When I was in Jiping Town, an old Chinese medicine doctor told me that the most important thing in learning Chinese medicine is accumulation. As for how high your achievements can be, it depends on your enlightenment. When you feel you have reached a bottleneck, you might as well learn something else, not necessarily medicine, anything is fine."

“Enlightenment depends on talent and opportunity, but the foundation of enlightenment is accumulation.”

“Enlightenment depends on talent and opportunity, but the foundation of enlightenment is accumulation?”

Xun Jiahong repeated Chen Yang's last sentence, seeming to be thinking about something.

"I feel like I've reached a bottleneck, so I'll learn something else. In the hospital, I'll learn a little about Western medicine and surgery. And coincidentally, I'm interested in surgery," said Chen Yang.

What Chen Yang said was indeed what Old Liu said, but they were not Old Liu's own words, but those were Liu Jun's master, an old Chinese doctor from Liping Town.

Although he was called a master, he was actually only half a master. Liu Jun only learned from him for a while and did not learn much.

However, Liu Jun always remembered some of the things the old Chinese doctor said, and he would tell Chen Yang about them every now and then.

Chen Yang said this now just to deal with Xun Jiahong, and at the same time to give Xun Jiahong a heads-up. After all, it was really hard to explain the existence of a system, and no one would believe it even if he said it.

Not only Xun Jiahong, but also Li Haofei and Yang Xiaohui beside him seemed to be thinking about something.

In fact, it is not just about learning Chinese medicine, it is the same when learning other things. Only if you continue to accumulate and enrich yourself, you may have an epiphany one day.

Rather than saying it was a sudden enlightenment, it is better to say that quantitative change has led to qualitative change, just as people say, read a book a hundred times and its meaning will become clear.

In fact, Chinese medicine cannot be considered as a simple medicine, but includes humanities, geography, feng shui, astronomy...it is all-encompassing.

If you want to learn Chinese medicine well, you must constantly enrich yourself, not just in the medical aspect, other aspects are still very useful for Chinese medicine.

In the past, a skilled Chinese medicine practitioner could determine a person’s birthplace, where he grew up, etc. by looking at his complexion and pulse. To make these judgments, one not only needs to master medical principles, but also understand humanities and the climate and living environment of each place.

"Thank you Dr. Chen."

After a moment of silence, Xun Jiahong thanked Chen Yang: "What Doctor Chen said just now makes a lot of sense. I had this feeling before, but I couldn't explain it clearly. Now I understand."

"In fact, this depends mainly on yourself. If you have the spare time, it is not a bad thing to get involved in something that you are interested in."

Chen Yang was afraid of leading Xun Jiahong into trouble, so he quickly added something.

Some principles are not suitable for everyone. Chen Yang studied surgery purely because there is a system. If Xun Jiahong followed suit on impulse, it would be a waste of a good talent.

"Yeah." Xun Jiahong nodded.

After dinner, several people walked out of the cafeteria together, talking as they walked.

As they were walking, behind a few people, they saw a family of three, or to be more precise, a family of three and a half. One of them was a pregnant woman, and her pregnancy was quite obvious with a big belly. The woman's husband was beside them, with a little boy of seven or eight years old.

The couple looked to be around 35 or 36 years old. The family had just come out of a restaurant and must have come to the hospital for a prenatal check-up.

As they were walking, the woman suddenly screamed "Ah" and covered her chest. The man hurried forward to ask her what happened. The woman seemed to want to vomit, and the man supported her to the side and she vomited out all the lunch she had just eaten.

"How is it? Are you okay?" the husband asked with concern.

After vomiting, the woman still felt uncomfortable. There were beads of sweat on her forehead. She covered her chest with one hand, as if she was having trouble breathing.

"Don't worry."

The men were a little frightened, and at this time Chen Yang and a few others also approached.

Just now, Chen Yang and a few others were walking and were startled by a woman's voice. They turned around and saw the woman's symptoms.

"Doctor, is my lover okay?"

The man was a little frightened and his face turned pale.

After all, she was an eight-month pregnant woman. Her husband really didn’t know what was going on when she suddenly became like this.

"It should be Zixuan."

While Chen Yang was checking, he grabbed the woman's wrist and felt her pulse, and said to Chen Xingwu, "Director Chen, call a flatbed truck over."

"it is good."

Chen Xingwu took out his cell phone and called the department, asking the nurse to push the stretcher over.

After Chen Yang confirmed, he asked Li Haofei and Yang Xiaohui to support the woman, and he took the phone and dialed a number.

"Cute."

"Doctor Chen." It was Wu Mengmeng's voice on the phone.

"Are you in the department now?" Chen Yang asked.

"Yes, I just came back from lunch." Wu Mengmeng asked, "Doctor Chen, what can I do for you?"

"Write a prescription for Bawei Dihuang Pills and go to the pharmacy to get the medicine. The patient will be here soon." Chen Yang said to Wu Mengmeng.

"Okay, Doctor Chen, I'll go right away..." Wu Mengmeng responded quickly.

"Doctor Chen, Bawei Dihuang Pills?"

After Chen Yang hung up the phone, Xun Jiahong asked, "Doctor Chen, do you suspect that the coldness in the lower abdomen caused the uterus to stagnate?"

Zixuan is a term used in traditional Chinese medicine, also known as fetal pressure on the heart. Clinical manifestations include chest heat, fullness, rapid breathing, and irritability in pregnant women. There are many reasons for Zixuan, most of which are liver depression, spleen deficiency, qi and blood disharmony, and fetal qi rising.......

Chen Yang prescribed Bawei Dihuang Pills, and Xun Jiahong knew that Chen Yang was considering the coldness of the lower abdomen.

"Yeah." Chen Yang nodded.

As they were talking, doctors and nurses came with a stretcher. Chen Yang and Xun Jiahong helped the pregnant woman onto the stretcher. Her body was already a little stiff and her eyes were a little staring. This was a very serious condition.

"What's wrong, mom?"

The little boy hugged his father and was so scared that he was about to cry.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's the little sister who kicked mommy." The man hugged his son and comforted him softly, but he was actually a little nervous in his heart.

"Dr. Chen."

When the pregnant woman arrived at the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Wu Mengmeng had already returned with the medicine. Chen Yang asked her to be arranged in an empty ward first and gave her Bawei Dihuang Pills.
