Chapter 189 Theoretical Differences between Chinese and Western Medicine

Soon, Chen Nanxing's parents rushed to Yanjing and took their daughter to Union Hospital to go through the hospitalization procedures. Lu Cheng also helped to make arrangements in advance.

If you don't have some connections, it's very difficult for outsiders to get medical treatment at Peking Union Medical College Hospital, and you may have to wait in line for a month or so.

Lu Cheng did not say anything about personally treating Chen Nanxing. After all, considering his age and without the title of "Level 9 National Medical Master" written on his head, it would take some effort for Chen Nanxing's parents to believe in Lu Cheng, and he might not be able to convince them in the end.

In comparison, most people are more willing to believe in authority.

Just like before, Lu Cheng could diagnose Chen Nanxing's condition without any instruments based on his judgment as a ninth-level Chinese medicine practitioner.

But if a Chinese medicine practitioner in his early thirties who has only worked for a few years comes to take someone's pulse and says that the patient has cancer, will the patient believe it? It's good not to curse.

In fact, even with the help of advanced Western medical equipment, the misdiagnosis rate of cancer is still high. The safest way is to choose multiple regular large hospitals for repeated diagnosis.

Chen Nanxing's parents are also very grateful to Lu Cheng. After all, if it weren't for Lu Cheng, it would be difficult to discover Chen Nanxing's problem, and it might be too late to discover it in the future.

In the medical community, there is a saying that there are Union Medical College in the North, Xiangya Medical College in the South, Qilu Medical College in the East, West China Medical College in the West, and Tongji Medical College in the Center, which are known as the five strongest groups in China's medical community.

Among them, Peking Union Medical College is recognized by the vast majority as the best.

If Lu Cheng hadn't paid some money and used his connections, Chen Nanxing wouldn't have been able to move into Union Hospital so quickly.

Moreover, Lu Cheng even spent some money to hire the best surgeon at Union Hospital, the expert who was best at treating pancreatic cancer, to diagnose and treat Chen Nanxing.

At this point, anything that can be solved with money is not a problem. If the task can be completed directly with money, Lu Cheng will definitely spend a lot of money.

After arranging everything, all I had to do was wait patiently for the operation to be over.

In fact, Lu Cheng has been thinking about a question these days: whether he should continue to be a doctor in this life.

If one only regards being a doctor as a profession and lacks medical ethics and faith in one's heart, it will be difficult to reach the pinnacle of medicine.

Lu Cheng's medical skills were the result of accumulation from previous reincarnations, with the help of the system. At that time, Lu Cheng indeed dedicated his entire life to the medical industry.

But now that I have a new life, should I continue to be a doctor for the rest of my life?

In the future, Lu Cheng will experience all kinds of worlds. If he keeps repeating the same life, is that really what he wants?

The system assigned me the profession of doctor in this life. On the one hand, it was to better complete the main task, and on the other hand, medical skills were included in Lu Cheng's skill list.

Perhaps, Lu Cheng will be assigned another career in his next life.

Thinking about all these random things, Lu Cheng did not insist on finding an answer.

After all, life is still long, and there is a good life waiting for him to enjoy. He doesn't have to decide the rest of his life now.

Moreover, in this mission, there is also a side quest, which is to go to a windy place.

This task seems a bit vague, without detailed explanation. It may be to let Lu Cheng go to a windy place by himself to enjoy the rural scenery and feel the beauty of life. It may also be to let Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing go to a windy place.

Side quests are not mandatory and have a high degree of freedom, waiting for Lu Cheng to explore on his own.

There are indeed many things in life that are worth experiencing and enjoying.

Living is not just for work, nor do you have to strive for a goal all your life. You can just enjoy the beauty of life to the fullest.

Two or three hundred small goals are enough for Lu Cheng to enjoy his life to the fullest.

Two days later, everything was ready, Chen Nanxing adjusted his condition, and the operation went smoothly.

Because it was discovered early, the tumor was not large, and the surgeon was very skilled, so the postoperative recovery was also very good.

In less than half a month, Chen Nanxing was able to be discharged from the hospital.

The more famous a hospital is, the less likely they are to allow patients to stay in the hospital for a long time. After all, the hospital wards are really crowded. Some large hospitals have patients living in their inpatient buildings and even in the corridors.

After being discharged from the hospital, Chen Nanxing's parents presented Lu Cheng with a banner that read: The doctor has a kind heart and superb medical skills.

In Dongzhimen Hospital, it was common for doctors to receive banners, but it did not cause any sensation.

Of course, the director of internal medicine also gave Lu Cheng verbal praise during the meeting.

Afterwards, Lu Chengwei took a detailed pulse check on Chen Nanxing. After checking her postoperative recovery, Lu Cheng prescribed a prescription for her to recuperate. He also told her, "I suggest you stop working recently. Take a few months off and take good care of your body. Take the medicines I prescribed for you on time and come for regular checkups."

"No problem, I'll follow the doctor's advice. Doctor Lu, should I come for a checkup every week?"

It can be seen that after experiencing this serious illness, Chen Nanxing has regained his former liveliness and has become more positive and optimistic about life.

"You don't have to come so often. Once a month is enough. Of course, if you're worried, you can come every week."

"Well, I'll come here often in the future."

"also."

"Dr. Lu, thank you so much. I have also done detailed research and consulted those experts. They all said that I was lucky to be able to discover the problem so early. When I was hospitalized in Union Hospital, I met many patients who discovered the problem too late. If it weren't for you, I might have been the same as them. Dr. Lu, you are really my lifesaver."

"Don't be so polite. This is what we doctors should do."

"Doctor Lu, are we friends now?"

"Of course, it's nice to be friends with a gorgeous lady like you."

"Then you can just call me Nanxing from now on. Or you can call me Nannan like Hongdou did."

"No problem, you can just call me Lu Cheng."

"Okay, I won't disturb you from working for now. Goodbye."

After saying that, Chen Nanxing took the prescription written by Lu Cheng and went to get the medicine.

After confirming Chen Nanxing's physical condition, Lu Cheng felt more relieved.

In fact, when it comes to treating cancer, Chinese medicine sometimes also chooses surgery.

After all, surgery is not exclusive to Western medicine.

Since ancient times, Chinese medicine has also used surgery to treat diseases. Not to mention Hua Tuo's bone scraping, craniotomy, and Ma Fei San, there are many kinds of surgical instruments in Chinese medicine.

In terms of treating diseases, the biggest difference between Chinese medicine and Western medicine is that Western medicine focuses on treating where it hurts and directly cutting off any damaged parts, and it also uses a large amount of antibiotics, which have great side effects.

In traditional Chinese medicine, more emphasis is placed on viewing the human body as a whole.

For example, pulse diagnosis in traditional Chinese medicine detects changes in the internal environment of the human body through subtle changes in human blood vessels. It is even so detailed as to determine why a certain part has changed, causing changes in blood vessels and pulse.

Just like cancer, the West focuses on killing cancer cells directly, using radiotherapy, chemotherapy and other means to remove cancer cells. However, cancer cells are usually stronger than human cells, and while killing cancer cells, they can also cause great side effects to people. Even before the cancer cells are completely killed, the person is killed first.

A large proportion of cancer deaths are due to excessive treatment.

But the theory of traditional Chinese medicine pays more attention to the overall environment inside the human body.

After cancer cells appear in the human body, they will constantly change the human environment, making it more suitable for the survival of cancer cells, ultimately leading to the death of the person.

Traditional Chinese medicine restores the human body's environment to normal through conditioning, enhances human immunity and resistance, and makes the environment in the body unsuitable for the growth of cancer cells, thereby curbing the growth and spread of cancer cells.

At the same time, the growth of cancer cells also requires specific water and nutrients.

Through Chinese medicine conditioning, improving dietary structure, eating more natural foods, and eating less complex vitamins and the like, the nutrients needed by cancer cells can be cut off, and finally the cancer cells can be eliminated step by step.

For a patient in the advanced stage of cancer, Traditional Chinese Medicine also has a treatment method of "coexisting with cancer", which curbs cancer cells, puts them into dormancy, and allows the person to survive with cancer.

At this time, Chen Nanxing was only over 30 years old, and the cancer was in the early stages and had not spread. After the lesion was removed and he was treated with traditional Chinese medicine, it was only a matter of time before he fully recovered...
