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

Epilepsy, commonly known as "epilepsy", is a very common neurological syndrome with complex causes and recurrent attacks.

Epilepsy falls into the category of epilepsy syndrome in traditional Chinese medicine.

Many modern disease names can be found in corresponding disease names in traditional Chinese medicine, but they cannot be directly equated because the standards for classifying diseases in traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine are different.

The prototype of a certain symptom can be found in a certain disease category in traditional Chinese medicine, but it does not mean that it is completely equivalent to that certain disease.

To be more precise, epilepsy is a type of epilepsy syndrome.

Xun Jiahong looked at the little girl again.

I have a history of epilepsy for seven or eight years. This disease is not a simple one.

Afterwards, Xun Jiahong continued to read the rest of the file. From the medical records, he saw that the little girl had been receiving treatment at Jialin County Hospital for some time, and Li Haofei's diagnosis and treatment plan were also listed on the records.

"The child eats little, has loose stools, and a pale tongue...shows signs of spleen deficiency..."

"Because the spleen is weak and dysfunctional, it leads to phlegm and dampness blocking the body. The weaker the spleen is and the more phlegm there is, the more severe the epileptic seizure will be..."

The more Xun Jiahong looked at it, the more surprised he was. Li Haofei had a very clear understanding of the disease and used the medicine accurately. Up to now, the child has been taking the medicine for twenty days. During these twenty days, the frequency of the child's illness has been significantly reduced.

According to the previous medical history, the child was diagnosed with epilepsy at the age of three. The frequency of the attacks was not high at first, but then gradually worsened. Although the condition has been alleviated after treatment at Jinjiang Children's Hospital, attacks still occur every two or three days.

After arriving at Jialin County Hospital, the child only had an attack every two or three days in the first few days, and only once in the following ten days.

"You are receiving treatment at Jinjiang Children's Hospital, why did you come to Jialin County?" Xun Jiahong asked the child's mother.

"We are from Jialin County. We met Director Yi Tonghe at the Children's Hospital. Director Yi recommended Doctor Chen Yang to us. However, Doctor Chen was no longer in the hospital when we arrived. Fortunately, Doctor Li was there." said the little girl's mother.

Yi Tonghe is the deputy director of the Department of Neurology at Jinjiang Children's Hospital. He knew Chen Yang quite early, but Chen Yang later went to Jinjiang City without Yi Tonghe's knowledge.

"Well, continue taking the medicine."

Li Haofei examined the little girl and then said to her mother, "The child's condition is basically stable now. Observe her for two more days. If there is nothing abnormal, she can be discharged from the hospital. Go home and continue to take medicine and come for regular checkups."

"Thank you, Dr. Li." The child's mother hurriedly thanked him.

Li Haofei said a few polite words and walked out of the ward with Xun Jiahong.

"I just read the medical records. Doctor Li's diagnosis and medication are accurate, which is really admirable." Xun Jiahong said with a smile.

"In fact, I was a little nervous at first, but I just thought about what Master said."

Li Haofei smiled and said, "Master said that when facing a disease, you should consider everything and not ignore any details. If you are sure that it is correct, you should act decisively."

"I only started to diagnose patients after I followed my master two years ago. I do feel a little insecure when facing some diseases."

"Dr. Li graduated just last year?" Xun Jiahong asked.

Li Haofei is only 26 years old this year, which is quite young.

“I graduated last June.”

Li Haofei said: "I was doing internship at the hospital when Master came."

Xun Jiahong opened his mouth and asked, "Doctor Li, is there anyone in your family who is a Chinese medicine practitioner?"

"No, I only came into contact with Chinese medicine after I entered university. I studied it in the hospital for four or five years," said Li Haofei.

"Undergraduate graduate?" Xun Jiahong was quite shocked.

Li Haofei looked young. Xun Jiahong had thought that Li Haofei might be around 30 years old and a master's degree graduate. Unexpectedly, he only graduated from college.

After graduating from college, I only studied in school for five years, or four years to be precise, and my fifth year was basically spent on internship.

By this calculation, Li Haofei has only been studying with Chen Yang for more than a year.

"Yes, I graduated from college." Li Haofei nodded with a smile: "If it weren't for Master, I wouldn't know what to do now."

"I didn't expect that Dr. Chen is not only highly skilled, but also has his own way of teaching students." Xun Jiahong said with a smile.

"Director Xun, this way." Li Haofei led the way and took Xun Jiahong into another ward.

For a whole afternoon, Xun Jiahong followed Li Haofei to visit the ward and learned about the conditions of many patients. After this understanding, Xun Jiahong felt mixed emotions.

When Li Haofei picked up Xun Jiahong at the airport yesterday, Xun Jiahong really didn't take Li Haofei seriously, mainly because Li Haofei was too young.

Even though Li Haofei was Chen Yang's apprentice, Xun Jiahong didn't think that Li Haofei's level was very high. But after getting to know him today, Xun Jiahong realized that Li Haofei's level was not low.

Among all the doctors Xun Jiahong knows, Li Haofei's level is not even inferior to Wen Haohui.

Xun Jiahong and Wen Haohui are in the same department, so naturally Xun Jiahong knows Wen Haohui best. The fact that Xun Jiahong can compare Li Haofei and Wen Haohui shows how shocked Xun Jiahong is.

You have to know that Wen Haohui is not an ordinary doctor. He is the grandson of Wen Xiuping and comes from a family of traditional Chinese medicine. He is also a leader among the younger generation in Kyoto.

Xun Jiahong was already surprised that there was a Chen Yang in Jialin County, but he didn't expect that there was such a genius as Li Haofei.

Although as of now, Xun Jiahong feels that Li Haofei is not as good as him, and from the treatment of some diseases, Xun Jiahong can also see that Li Haofei is still a little immature, but Li Haofei is thirteen years younger than him.

Xun Jiahong thought about it and realized that when he was Li Haofei's age, he was definitely not at Li Haofei's current level.

If calculated based on the same age, he is actually not as good as Li Haofei.

For a moment, Xun Jiahong’s mood was terrible.

It would have been fine if he was not better than Chen Yang, but after arriving in Jialin County, he discovered that he seemed no match for Chen Yang's apprentice.

Now Xun Jiahong began to understand what his grandfather Song Luojun had said to him. There is always someone better than you. He was in Kyoto and really thought he was invincible, but he didn't expect that there were so many geniuses out there who were no weaker than him.

"Some people are not innately incompetent. It could be that they don't have a good teacher to guide them, or they just haven't encountered the right opportunities."

"There are many good horses, but few good horse trainers. The reason why you can reach your current level is, on the one hand, because you are talented, and on the other hand, it is also related to the fact that you have been exposed to traditional Chinese medicine since childhood and have received a good education. You can't be proud and complacent because of this and think that no one can be better than you."

Song Luojun's words rang in Xun Jiahong's ears again.

This is what Song Luojun said to Xun Jiahong the night before Xun Jiahong came to Shanzhou. At that time, Xun Jiahong was a little bit dissatisfied, but now he agrees.

China is a vast land with abundant resources, so there must be many geniuses. Not to mention one in a thousand, there are many geniuses who can be found one in ten thousand. Some people may not have opportunities, as his grandfather said, but if they really have the same background or opportunity as him, they may not be worse than him.

Aren’t Chen Yang and Li Haofei living examples?
