Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

Uncle Nie nodded after hearing what Chen Changan said. For such things, it is indeed necessary to be cautious.

When you are uncertain, you really need to make bold assumptions and verify them carefully.

Especially for the front-line staff in the hospital, it is the most accurate to understand the situation.

Serving the people is not just an empty phrase. If there is an infectious disease, early detection and early treatment can turn a big problem into a small one.

After Chen Changan finished speaking, he left. There is no way the leaders will only focus on this one thing.

Chen Changan was on his way back to the motorcycle factory. Chen Changan still felt that Uncle Nie was probably helpless and had too many concerns.

I am afraid that the results of the investigation into this matter will be difficult to come out. However, as the main source of foreign exchange, the superiors did not take this epidemic seriously. However, the motorcycle factory could not ignore it.

This matter still requires the motorcycle manufacturers to take action themselves. After all, it is better to rely on oneself than on others.

After Chen Changan returned to the motorcycle factory, he did not even go back to the office, but went directly to the factory clinic.

The motorcycle factory’s clinic is actually just a few small bungalows built next to the administrative building.

It was originally built with leftover building materials from dormitory buildings.

Because it also has to serve the families of the motorcycle factory's employees, the gate does not face the inside of the factory, but faces the street outside.

Due to the rapid development of the motorcycle factory, the clinic is outdated compared to the current motorcycle factory. There are only three doctors and two nurses.

One of them is a Chinese medicine doctor, one is a female Western medicine internal medicine doctor, and one is a Western medicine surgeon.

This configuration is actually enough for ordinary factories.

Workers in the factory who have minor bumps or bruises, and family members' children who have fallen and been injured while running around outside, can also come here to apply some medicine.

But if you want to perform surgery, even the most common appendicitis surgery in later generations, that is impossible.

Not only did they not have the technology, they didn't even have the equipment. The internist only had a stethoscope and two thermometers.

The surgeon has two forceps, scissors, gauze and the like.

If the internal medicine surgeon can't cure the disease, go see a Chinese medicine doctor. If that doesn't work, there is nothing else you can do.

When Chen Changan arrived at the clinic, the several rooms were almost full.

Just like what Shi Heping said, many people have cold symptoms, not only workers but also many family members have the same symptoms.

Chen Changan was a little panicked. He first found a nurse and asked for a mask to put on. Then he walked into the infirmary and started to look around as he walked.

I have to say that the environment is not very good, it is very simple. There are few doctors, and all the patients are internal medicine patients, all of them are concentrated on the internal medicine doctors.

The surgeons didn't have any patients, and there were only a few older doctors taking the pulse.

There is no way. In recent years, Chinese medicine has been suppressed by Western medicine. With the advancement of science, many Chinese medicine theories are incomprehensible to Western medicine practitioners who believe in science.

For example, the Yin-Yang and Five Elements may sound mysterious, but Chinese medicine itself cannot be proven by science.

For example, you talk about acupuncture points. How can you prove the existence of acupuncture points?

My Western doctor said there is an appendix, and after the autopsy I was able to prove that there is one. This is the evidence.

The Yin-Yang, Five Elements, and Acupuncture Points you mentioned are all illusory. Also, how do you prove what the active ingredients of the herbs you use are?

Moreover, many herbs are poisonous in themselves. How can you guarantee that nothing bad will happen to people after eating them?

You can't prove it at all. If you can't prove it, then you are a quack and a liar.

Traditional Chinese medicine cannot refute these statements because they cannot prove them.

With some highly educated Western doctors taking the lead in suppressing them, they were called backward and ignorant witch doctors. These old Chinese medicine masters were suppressed to the point where they couldn’t even raise their heads.

The younger generation is also more willing to believe in Western medicine. After all, Western medicine's evidence is visible to the naked eye and easier to understand. Many diseases can be cured immediately after taking medicine. So people are more willing to believe in Western medicine.

Only some elderly people who have been seeing Chinese medicine practitioners all their lives will stop trusting Western medicine and continue to seek treatment from Chinese medicine practitioners.

Chen Changan came here with a purpose, which was to investigate and also to ask some questions.

Forget about the surgeon, there's no big problem. Since the internist seems very busy, I'll go see the Chinese medicine doctor first.

After all, it is not easy to find a reliable Chinese medicine practitioner in later generations. Chen Changan also wanted to see what Chinese medicine is like in this era.

After all, Chen Changan had never seen a Chinese medicine doctor, and all his knowledge of Chinese medicine was hearsay. Out of curiosity, he came to the old Chinese medicine doctor.

I watched the old Chinese doctor check the pulse of my left hand, then the pulse of my right hand, check my tongue, and ask questions. This whole process took quite a while.

Then I gave the patient a prescription and just told him to go home and take it, and come back if he finished it or if his condition got worse.

Don't talk about all this, people who read it don't understand what's going on. What's this yin and yang, the five elements, this qi, that qi, this acupoint, that acupoint.

How can ordinary people understand this? In addition, the words about taking medicine are vague, and you have to come back after taking it. You also need to adjust the medicine. Or come back when the condition becomes serious.

Doesn't this imply that the drug may not work for you? This doesn't seem very reliable.

Maybe it was originally very effective, maybe the disease was cured after taking the medicine twice. The doctor himself was very confident, maybe he was afraid of being criticized, or maybe he thought he was too modest to make a promise.

Another situation is that the doctor himself has no confidence and is simply experimenting on patients.

No effect after taking this medicine? Then try another medicine. Still no effect? ​​Try again. Anyway, you have no other choice. We are all Chinese medicine practitioners, and we are all half-baked.

So who would still go to a Chinese doctor for treatment when Western medicine is an option? Even if you are a good Chinese doctor, it would take so long and you would have to pinch your nose and drink such bitter medicine.

They can both cure diseases. How can you compare with others who can cure diseases with just a pill, a capsule, or a sip of water? Let’s not talk about others. If it were you, would you be willing to do it?

When Chen Changan was thinking about the pros and cons of Chinese and Western medicine, the old Chinese doctor's patient finished seeing Chen Changan. It was obvious that he knew Chen Changan, so he stood up and bowed to Chen Changan. He called out, "Director Chen."

Chen Changan was a little embarrassed. After all, he had never paid attention to the clinic before. Chen Changan was in good health. Except for the time when he injured his elbow while arresting Fan Hongtao, he had never been sick since he came to this era.

So Chen Changan didn't know what the other person's name was, but that person knew him.

This made Chen Changan feel a little embarrassed, but with such a large factory, it was impossible for Chen Changan to know everyone.
