Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 1397 When the Torch is Passed On, New Life Knocks on the Door (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets)

4 p.m., Union Auditorium.

At this moment, representatives from various hospitals, schools, and research institutes have begun to leave.

Fang Yan saw Vice Minister Li and Director Liao out.

On the way, Vice Minister Li also explained the dialect, and the Ministry of Health will issue follow-up documents to promote this initiative.

Upon returning to the auditorium, I was immediately surrounded by the school's professors.

Everyone looked at the dialect with approval.

Getting Western doctors to accept TCM treatment plans is much more difficult than the Ministry of Health issuing a document.

Even if the promotional documents are issued, if the Western medical system is inwardly resistant, it can use reasons such as "lack of operating procedures" or "unknown risks" to delay and passively resist.

The ultimate goal of using dialects is to integrate traditional Chinese medicine solutions into the Western medical system, rather than simply implementing policy orders.

When the Fangyan (a traditional Chinese medicine) team promoted the "Breakthrough Heart-Saving Decoction," many TCM hospitals across the country were reluctant to use it, mainly because they believed that using so much aconite could easily lead to poisoning.

If the patient encounters problems, the hospital will be held responsible.

Finally, it was only after Zhu Liangchun's hospital started promoting it that it gradually spread to traditional Chinese medicine hospitals in Jiangsu. Later, other places saw that it worked well here, so they dared to use it. What Fang Yan is doing now is to get Western medicine doctors in the capital to start using it so that this formula can be better promoted.

Otherwise, he would just be the next Shen Zhanyao.

This promotion won't affect many people. After the initial excitement, the formula will eventually be buried in history for various reasons.

Qian Boxuan, the senior physician at Xiyuan Hospital, patted Fang Yan's shoulder forcefully, his face beaming with barely suppressed excitement: "Comrade Fang Yan, well done! Today's scene is so satisfying! It's so refreshing! You not only unearthed this precious prescription, but also used lab reports that Western doctors can understand and emergency plans that are easy to explain, tearing a hole in this 'terminal illness'! These three-level quantitative principles, the balance scale for attack and tonification, and the idea of ​​those drug incompatibilities databases... are so practical! This is truly something that can allow our treasures of traditional Chinese medicine to take root and benefit patients!"

At this moment, Ren Yingqiu, who was standing to the side, also said:

“We’ll organize a study session as soon as we get back. This prescription must be used in the hospital! You’ve really brought honor to our TCM clinical practice!”

This person is also one of the vice presidents of Xiyuan Hospital.

Fang Yan smiled and cupped his hands in greeting. Before he could speak, he heard Dean Zhao Xiwu beside him exclaim, "It really wasn't easy! It was truly difficult! Promoting a formula is harder than creating a new one! Today, you debated with a group of scholars, debunking all those tricky questions from Western medicine and even providing solutions. Your sense of responsibility and wisdom are remarkable!"

He said in dialect:

"Yes, I knew it would be difficult, but I didn't expect it to be this difficult."

At this moment, the vice president of Dongzhimen Hospital said to Fang Yan:

"Don't worry, our hospital fully supports its promotion. We will not only use it ourselves, but also encourage surrounding grassroots hospitals to use it as well! You have set an example for TCM hospitals across the country this time!"

He quickly cupped his hands in greeting.

At this moment, Professor Yue Meizhong said to Fang Yan:

"Fang Yan, your lesson is more effective than any of us old folks lecturing on the podium for ten years! It's a living textbook! From excavating ancient texts to clinical verification, then combining it with modern testing, and finally forming a widely applicable solution... This is a living textbook of modern TCM! Differentiation of syndromes and treatment is the root, while understanding the constant and adapting to change is the soul. You've explained it thoroughly through practice!"

"Hey, Elder Yue, you're exaggerating!" Fang Yan quickly said.

Professor Wang Yuchuan, who was standing nearby, also said:

“I think our school should include Zhang Fu’s case and what you talked about today in the curriculum! Let all students see what it means to ‘read the classics and practice clinically,’ and what it means to ‘inherit without being bound by the past and innovate without straying from the core principles’! You are the pride of the school!”

The head of another TCM college also squeezed forward, speaking with great enthusiasm: "Director Fang, today has truly been an eye-opening experience! You not only cured the patient, but also healed some people's 'heart disease' regarding TCM! You have taught the students, no, and all of us involved in TCM education, a lesson! TCM is not metaphysics; efficacy is the only hard truth! The path you demonstrated is so inspiring! We will organize a special teaching and research meeting when we get back, not only to learn this prescription, but also to learn your research approach and promotion methods! Perhaps we can also unearth a lot from ancient books in the future."

Another older professor nodded in agreement:

"That's right, this is the only way to truly cultivate TCM talents who can handle things and cure diseases! The younger generation is truly formidable!" What they valued even more were the words Fang Yan spoke when he clashed with Western medicine.

Although they hadn't completely convinced these Western doctors from the bottom of their hearts, everyone could see that they couldn't find any excuse to refuse.

That's what they want to learn.

They even wanted to summarize a set of logic to counter Western medicine.

Fang Yan said to them:

"You flatter me too much! I was just doing what I was supposed to do. The treasures of traditional Chinese medicine are hidden in ancient books, but they must also live in clinical practice. If they cannot be passed down or used, even the most powerful prescriptions are just words on paper."

"The reason we were able to persuade Western doctors today is not because I'm good with words, but because Dr. Shen's decades of medical records and Zhang Fuquan's negative test results gave us confidence. We let people see that we can not only cure diseases, but also explain how to treat them and how to prevent risks. Only then will no one dare to regard us as 'mysticism'."

“There will definitely be more troubles in the future in promoting this formula, such as the quality of medicinal materials at the grassroots level and the special circumstances of the elderly and children. I can’t handle it all by myself. I still need all the teachers to give me more advice and guide me in clinical practice. We need to refine this formula and spread it more widely so that we can truly live up to what our ancestors have passed down and live up to the patients who are waiting for our lives to be saved!”

Ms. Tu, who came from the research institute, also spoke up at this time:

"Director Fang, the value of your case goes far beyond saving Zhang Fu! You have provided an excellent research model!"

"From Dr. Shen's experience to your clinical practice, and then to the full-process tracking and verification using modern medical indicators, the topics you proposed, such as the database of incompatibilities, the isolation of antiviral components from worms, and the effects of rhubarb on the blood-brain barrier, are all extremely valuable research directions!"

"You not only proved the efficacy, but also pointed out where TCM research should focus its efforts! Your contribution is significant for the present and will benefit future generations!"

Upon hearing Ms. Tu's high praise, Fang Yan waved his hands repeatedly and said:

"You flatter me too much! If we're talking about a model, it's actually Dr. Shen's decades of accumulated medical cases that provided the foundation. I was able to cure Zhang Fu's case because I used his experience."

Shen Zhanyao, who was standing to the side, quickly said:

"You can't say that! I've been holding onto these experiences for decades, and I've only used them on a small scale. After you used them, Dr. Fang, you even promoted them. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to handle this lecture today, so it still has to be you."

Others nodded.

……

In any case, today's lecture and promotion can be considered a success. The media will also report on this matter, and more ordinary people will know that traditional Chinese medicine can treat rabies.

What bothers the dialect is that other countries will also know about this recipe because of it.

But what does this little bit of "annoyance" matter when it can save more lives?

At the same time, it can also help more people understand traditional Chinese medicine, so we might as well use this as a promotional fee for traditional Chinese medicine.

Moreover, from a scientific research perspective, once the formula is disseminated, it will definitely attract more international teams to participate in the research. When the results are seen, the Western medicine practitioners in China will become more receptive to it.

There's nothing they can do; they don't want to listen to what their own people say, but they'll listen to what foreigners say.

In a way, it's a good thing that allows more people to receive treatment.

Several days passed, and it was now mid-October.

At four o'clock in the morning, when Fang Yan was sound asleep, there was a knock on the bedroom door.

Old Hu shouted anxiously from outside:

"Fang Yan, Fang Yan! Hui Jie seems to be going into labor!"

PS: I got 100 more monthly votes, so I still owe everyone 36,000 words after finishing this chapter.
