In the private room of Guodu Restaurant, after Gu Senquan calmed down, he asked Lin Yuan: "Xiao Lin, when this medical school cooperates with the Davis family, will it be regarded as a traditional Chinese medicine school or a western medical school?"

Hearing Gu Senquan's question, Lin Yuan pondered for a moment and then said: "It is a school focusing on Western medicine, but the school will also set up a department of traditional Chinese medicine."

Although he had already guessed this result, Gu Senquan was still a little disappointed when he heard what Lin Yuan said. He sighed slightly and said with a wry smile: "We, a group of Chinese medicine practitioners, are striving to establish a medical school of Western medicine here to train talents for Western medicine.

, isn’t it a little ironic?”

"What Mr. Gu said is true." Zhai Songming said with a smile: "Lin Yuan fought for this matter. In the future, when the medical school is established, Mr. Xie and others will have to come forward to improve the reputation of the school. With so many Chinese medicine people running around, in the end

But it's for a Western medicine school, which is indeed a bit ironic."

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Mr. Gu and Dr. Zhai, you still can't put aside your sectarian opinions. What is Chinese medicine and what is Western medicine? To be precise, both Chinese medicine and Western medicine actually serve human beings and are people."

The methods that come into being in the process of fighting against diseases are just different people who invent them."

“It is true that traditional Chinese medicine is the quintessence of the Chinese nation, but the ultimate purpose of establishing Xinyuan Charity is to help more poor patients who cannot afford to see a doctor, and to help more students who cannot afford to go to school. As long as we can serve the Chinese people, no matter what

What’s the difference if it’s Chinese medicine or Western medicine?”

"That's what I say, but this incident always makes people feel a little regretful. Wouldn't it be better if this institution could be built into a institution focusing on traditional Chinese medicine?" Gu Senquan said.

"It's not that I haven't thought about this problem." Lin Yuan sighed after hearing this: "But after careful consideration, I feel that this matter is very unrealistic. First of all, this school is prepared on the basis of cooperation with the Davis family.

Yes, we are relying on the medical resources of the Davis family. If we focus on traditional Chinese medicine, wouldn’t it be a waste of too much resources and the gain will outweigh the loss."

"Another one is that it is difficult to train Chinese medicine practitioners. This is objective. The biggest difference between Chinese medicine and Western medicine is that Chinese medicine is based on experience. It treats diseases, saves lives, and diagnoses and uses drugs. The most commonly used method is speculation. Based on past experience, the patient's face turns yellow.

What is the disease? What are the symptoms of the patient's white tongue coating? Various phenomena are combined, and then the cause of the disease is speculated. This speculative thinking mode is not fixed, which makes it difficult to cultivate traditional Chinese medicine practitioners."

"However, Western medicine is different. Western medicine is completely based on science. The so-called science of Western medicine is actually what most people think of now. It includes chemistry, mathematics, anatomy, physics and other disciplines, that is,

It is said that a student has actually been exposed to the theory of Western medicine before he comes into contact with Western medicine. In this way, once he officially comes into contact with medicine, he only needs a little guidance and training to train a Western medicine practitioner. However, in Chinese medicine, even a bachelor's degree

When high-achieving graduates come here, they are actually no different from children who have just come into contact with traditional Chinese medicine. They grow up too slowly."

Zhai Songming and Gu Senquan are not ordinary people. Both of them can be regarded as Chinese medicine practitioners with relatively good medical skills. Naturally, they understand what Lin Yuan said. Although what Lin Yuan said is true, it is precisely because of this that their

There was more sadness in my heart.

"Hey, this is what makes people uncomfortable. Traditional Chinese medicine is obviously the quintessence of the country and something left by our ancestors, but now few people are willing to learn it. Even those of us who are Chinese medicine practitioners have to help and popularize Western medicine because of the situation.

, is it possible that Chinese medicine will really disappear in the long river of history one day and become part of historical memory?" Gu Senquan sighed.

As an older generation of Chinese medicine practitioners, Gu Senquan naturally has a deep affection for Chinese medicine. The Chinese medicine practitioners of his generation are not like the young people who are studying Chinese medicine now. Learning Chinese medicine and Western medicine are actually just a means of making a living for them.

Even though many people are studying Chinese medicine, they don’t have much affection for it.

When Gu Senquan was studying medicine, in order to learn Chinese medicine, his family had to come to his door with gifts. When an old Chinese medicine practitioner accepted a disciple, he not only had to kowtow and serve tea, but he also had to be tested. Before passing on the skills, the old Chinese medicine practitioner would basically warn the students that these skills are hard-won.

Tell the students the hard work of their ancestors.

It’s not just traditional Chinese medicine. In China, many traditional crafts, even carpenters and blacksmiths who were considered humble at the time, are not easily passed down from person to person. It is precisely because of this that students are more awe-inspiring, more cherished, and more affectionate.

.

Even Zhai Songming is an academic, he basically learned all his skills in school and books, and he also has a deep affection for traditional Chinese medicine.

"Traditional Chinese medicine will never disappear." Lin Yuan looked at Gu Senquan and said firmly: "Although Chinese medicine is difficult to cultivate, it is not groundless. It is based on metaphysics. As long as there are patients in the world,

Traditional Chinese medicine will exist, and it is basically indispensable to Western medicine."

Seeing that Gu Senquan was a little confused, Lin Yuan explained with a smile: "Chinese medicine and Western medicine are both medicines, and they can also treat diseases. This is undeniable. As long as Chinese medicine can cure diseases, they will never disappear. This is

Just like food, whether it is meat or vegetarian, it is indispensable for the human body. Although some people do not eat meat and some people do not like to eat vegetarian food, most people eat a combination of meat and vegetables so that they can have balanced nutrition."

"In the same way, the same goes for treating diseases. There are diseases that Western medicine cannot cure, and there are diseases that Chinese medicine cannot cure. Some diseases cannot be cured by Western medicine, but Chinese medicine can. Some diseases are not cured by Chinese medicine, but Western medicine has a great effect. This

The situation does not only exist now, but will also exist in the future. As long as this situation exists, Chinese medicine will exist."

"Xiao Lin, you are right, but I am a little unfounded." After listening to Lin Yuan's explanation, Gu Senquan thought for a moment and felt that Lin Yuan's words really made sense. Western medicine cannot cure all diseases, and neither can traditional Chinese medicine.

Sometimes they complement each other, and there is always a demand. Since there is a demand, it will not die out. Unless one day Western medicine can treat all diseases and can cure all diseases that Chinese medicine can cure, and it can cure them better than Chinese medicine. At that time, Chinese medicine will

will disappear.

But when that time comes, doesn't it mean that Western medicine is really better than Chinese medicine? Since Western medicine is proved to be stronger and more perfect than Chinese medicine, it is also a historical inevitability that backward medicine will be eliminated.

"Actually, this is not necessarily a bad thing for Chinese medicine practitioners." Lin Yuan said with a smile.

"How do you say it?" Zhai Songming asked.

"With the impact of Western medicine, the soil for TCM doctors to survive has become increasingly scarce, which has led to the scarcity of TCM practitioners. The TCM practitioners who can survive at this time are basically the best in TCM, and those TCM practitioners who are not good at deceiving and abducting

People will eventually change careers due to the pressure of life, which is not a test for Chinese medicine."

"Things are rare and valuable, and what is left behind are high-quality products. Traditional Chinese medicine will not disappear, but because of these traditional Chinese medicine practitioners who remain, traditional Chinese medicine will eventually gain new vitality, perhaps leading to a new round of renaissance of traditional Chinese medicine.

We still don’t know.” Lin Yuan smiled.

Having said this, Lin Yuan paused and said: "So I plan to focus on Western medicine in this medical school, and add a Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine to it. The enrollment of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine should not be large but high-quality. I want to ensure that every Chinese medicine talent trained by the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine is trained."

Everyone can stand alone."

"Xiao Lin is the one who knows the right thing." After hearing Lin Yuan's explanation, Gu Senquan chuckled and said, "Thinking about it this way, I feel much more comfortable. It is difficult to cultivate Chinese medicine. Even in the past when Chinese medicine flourished and hundreds of schools of thought contended, there were really capable Chinese medicine practitioners.

That’s about it.”

"Dr. Lin's analysis is indeed different from others." Zhai Songming also said with a smile: "Others only see the decline of traditional Chinese medicine. Many people even pessimistically believe that traditional Chinese medicine will even be eliminated by Western medicine. Dr. Lin's unique understanding

It’s really unbelievable.”

"Mr. Gu and Dr. Zhai were joking." Lin Yuan chuckled and said, "Maybe it's because I'm young, so I don't take the traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine seriously. I also look at Western medicine from an objective perspective. This is how I can produce

Different ideas.”

"Hey, I'm getting old, and it will still be the age of you young people from now on." Gu Senquan chuckled.

"Mr. Gu, you are trying to evade responsibility by saying this." Lin Yuan said with a smile: "You are an expert from the Central Health Commission. After the medical school is built, you will often go to the medical school to give lectures, and you will also be the instructor of traditional Chinese medicine at the medical school.

I want you to worry more about it.”

"This is my duty." Gu Senquan said with a smile.

It was nine o'clock in the evening after Lin Yuan, Gu Senquan, Zhai Songming and others had eaten. Because the dormitory was inspected at ten o'clock, he did not dare to stay too long. He explained some details to Xu Wenbin and then left the Davis family in charge.

Then he and Shi Hongfei returned to the dormitory.

"Dr. Lin, after graduating from the training class, I plan to go to Xinyuan Charity. I wonder if Dr. Lin will be welcome?" After returning to the dormitory, Shi Hongfei lay on the bed and hesitated. Just as he was about to turn off the lights, he

Suddenly he said to Lin Yuan.

"Brother Shi is joking. I would welcome Brother Shi with both hands if he comes. If the medical school can be built, Brother Shi will definitely be qualified to serve as a tutor in the medical school." Lin Yuan said with a smile.

Lin Yuan still knows Shi Hongfei's abilities. He is not yet forty years old this year. After this training class, Shi Hongfei's status in the provincial hospital will inevitably improve. It will be no problem to become deputy chief physician or chief physician in the future.

At that time, Shi Hongfei asked to go to Xinyuan Charity. How could he refuse? How could a future chief physician be qualified to serve as a senior lecturer in a future medical school?
