Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 724: The seventh day of the first lunar month, promoted to director (monthly ticket plus update)

The moment the system was activated, Fangyan's understanding of the Five Elements and Six Qi-Watching Technique immediately improved by several levels.

He suddenly understood that in terms of thinking paradigm, the Five Elements and Six Qi of Taoist medicine are the correspondence between heaven and man in macroscopic system medicine, while their Chinese medicine methods of observation, listening, questioning and palpation are the microscopic individual medicine of studying the outside and inferring the inside.

In terms of technical approach, the Five Elements and Six Qi diagnose and treat through "calculation" of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches.

Observation, auscultation, questioning and palpation are combined with the four examinations of "observation" for diagnosis and treatment.

The Five Elements and Six Qi emphasize "prevention before illness occurs".

Observation, auscultation, questioning and palpation focus on "preventing complications after illness has occurred".

After fully understanding it, Fangyan finally understood why Lao Fan had said before, "With the current diagnosis technology, there is no need to learn the methods of the Five Movements and Six Qi, and even if you learn it, it won't be of much use."

Because for dialects, the Five Elements and Six Qi deduce the relationship between climate and disease through the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, such as "In the year of Guimao, the fire is not enough for the metal to recover", which is essentially a theoretical model calculation rather than direct observation of patients' symptoms and signs.

Observation, auscultation, questioning and palpation are based on the patient's current intuitive physiological manifestations such as tongue, pulse, complexion, etc., and are closer to the individual's actual condition.

Even if he is teaching his apprentices in dialect, he will give priority to the three methods of observation, listening, questioning and palpation that he currently uses.

The Five Elements and Six Qi require mastery of complex calendar knowledge such as the Ganzhi calendar and Sitianzaiquan, such as "Yangming Zaojin Sitian, Shaoyin Junhuo Zaiquan", which has a very high learning cost for clinical doctors.

Only four diagnostic skills are needed for diagnosis, without the need for additional calendar calculations, and it is more universal.

The Five Elements and Six Qi emphasize the correlation between climate and disease, but it is affected by factors such as geographical and environmental changes, and the actual clinical consistency is unstable.

The four diagnostic methods rely on direct interaction between doctors and patients, and the risk of misdiagnosis can be reduced through experience accumulation and technical review.

In general, the Five Elements and Six Qi, as a macro-climate medical model, may be valuable in group prevention and theoretical research, but it is obviously insufficient in terms of immediacy, practicality and accuracy of individualized diagnosis and treatment compared with the four traditional methods of observation, auscultation, questioning and palpation, and is more likely to fall into the dilemma of "theoretical deduction being divorced from clinical practice".

Things finally returned to where they started.

The Taoist medical method of diagnosis based on the Five Elements and Six Qi can only be regarded as an alternative for him.

It will only be used when the four methods of observation, auscultation, questioning and palpation are not effective or when a judgment cannot be made.

"How about it? Now you understand how troublesome it is." After Lao Fan finished speaking, he saw Fangyan fell into deep thought and said to him with a smile.

Finally, he encountered something that could make him think for a long time. When Fangyan was learning the "Twelve Needles of the Heavenly Star" before, he mastered it almost instantly, which shocked Lao Fan. However, the Five Elements and Six Qi were a skill he had learned for a long time.

Fangyan's reaction was quite consistent with his imagination.

With such a huge amount of information, if it were someone else, their brain would probably be overloaded.

Although Fangyan is smart, he must be feeling uncomfortable right now.

"Well, it is indeed quite troublesome, mainly because the actual application is very different from the current situation in the hospital." Fang Yan nodded and said.

Lao Fan also quite agrees with this statement, he said:

"That's right. It's not easy to ask people about their birth date."

"Especially in the capital, if you're not careful, you'll be reported for practicing feudal superstition."

"So it's better for you to use observation, smell, questioning and palpation."

Fangyan nodded and said:

"Yes, I think so too. However, the Five Movements and Six Qi are not without merit. It is originally derived from the Chinese medicine dialectics in Su Wen. It can still be used as some reference information for judgment in some places."

"In addition, it can also help family members prevent diseases in the corresponding years and months."

Lao Fan praised Fang Yan:
"You are able to draw inferences from one example."

After that, he changed the subject and said:

"But then again, if you want to learn it, the cost is not low. It took me a long time to learn it."

"You have so many things to do now, and school will start soon. Do you have so much time to study?"

Fang Yan said to Lao Fan:

"It's not that difficult to learn, it's nothing more than memorizing some theories in Su Wen, and the corresponding information of the year, month and date of birth..."

When Lao Fan heard Fangyan's words, he said happily:
"Ha, then I hope you learn it soon!"

Fangyan looked at him with a strange expression, thinking that his brother had already learned it.

When Lao Fan saw Fangyan's expression, he immediately had a bad feeling and asked Fangyan:

"You...you don't want to say that you have learned it yourself?"

Fang Yan said to him:
“It wasn’t too difficult for me.”

"I have memorized Su Wen a long time ago, and I understand the theories in it. What's left is to remember the years and the corresponding diseases. The amount of information is actually not that much..."

Hearing this, Lao Fan felt very uncomfortable. He said in surprise:

"No...you really can do it?"

Fang Yan saw his expression of disbelief and asked him:
"How about you test me?"

Lao Fan opened his mouth. He really thought of the problem, but he changed his words when the words came to his mouth:
"Forget it. If I test you later, you will lose face."

When Fang Yan heard what Lao Fan said, he was immediately delighted and bowed to him and said:

"Haha, thank you for considering me then."

Old Fan couldn't hold it in any longer, so he asked Fang Yan:

"No, what's wrong with the brains of the people in your family? How come you and your nephew can remember things the moment they are told?"

"What are the tricks?" Fang Yan thought for a moment, then said:

"The technique of reincarnation."

"..." Old Fan was speechless, but when he thought about it, it seemed to be true. His father was a professor at a university and his mother was a doctor at Peking Union Medical College, which made him a rare talent among the crowd.

When these two people get together, the probability of giving birth to a smart person is quite high.

There are several people in Fangyan's family, two of whom were admitted to Peking University, one to Fudan University, and Fangyan is the only one who scored full marks in the national college entrance examination.

This shows that the people in this family are quite smart.

Of course, it is possible that Fangyan’s elder sister’s children may inherit this aspect of intelligence.

Lao Fan couldn't help but sigh:

The gap between people is sometimes even greater than the gap between people and dogs!
……

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was the seventh day of the first lunar month.

All units officially started working on this day, including Union Medical College.

In the past few days, Fangyan has maintained the standard of seeing five overseas Chinese businessmen every day.

I have brought Lao Fan, Xiao Peng, Zhang Yanchang and Yang Jingxiang with me to see many overseas Chinese businessmen who are sick.

But the fact is that you know your own body best.

Many overseas Chinese businessmen with serious illnesses had come here in the first three days. Those who came later rarely had strange illnesses. Even if their illnesses were slightly strange, they did not need to be hospitalized.

So on the fourth, fifth and sixth days of the New Year, the dialect battle can basically be resolved in just one hour.

Few people were hospitalized.

The inpatient department still has the patients who were admitted on the first, second and third days of the Chinese New Year.

Lao Fan and Xiao Peng have also been integrated into the work system of Union Hospital during this period.

Lao Fan already had a foundation in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Although he was a Taoist doctor and seemed a little mysterious to everyone, he basically understood Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Acupuncture, massage, and everything else are no problem.

Although Xiao Peng has poor skills and is a newbie, he is willing to learn.

He is particularly good at giving emotional value to patients. Liu Yu and her children like him very much.

In addition, few of the patients who come to see the doctor have serious illnesses.

However, dialect diagnosis still solves many patients' doubts.

Some of them did not understand what the doctor was seeing when they were abroad, and only after coming to Fangyan did they understand what the specific problem was.

It was only then that everyone realized that not all overseas Chinese businessmen had the time to see so many doctors.

Some people choose to ignore it.

Some people choose to force their way through.

Some people even believe in the master, which delays their treatment.

Fangyan prescribed them some medicine or gave them an injection, and the results were seen on the same day or on the spot, which made them very happy. They praised Fangyan a lot to Director Liao of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office.

These days, when Director Liao comes to visit the patients here every day, he always chats with them in dialect, which shows his love for them.

Everyone in the hospital saw it and knew that dialects were a favorite of this leader.

Not only the dean likes it, but Director Liao also likes it.

Later, even the leader of the Ministry of Health came to praise Fangyan once.

In the end, those people in the hospital who had complaints about Fang Yan's position as honorary director chose to shut up.

If you have any more complaints, you will be singing a different tune from your leaders.

When I get talked to, I won’t even be able to find the right tone to cry.

Fangyan only found out about this later. Of course, he could understand that if the dean did this, the other leaders of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine would have no way to intervene.

Although he is called honorary director, in fact, he just lets Fangyan occupy the position here and does not allow anyone else to take the position.

This is equivalent to reserving the position of department director for Fangyan five years from now.

This is a bit too much even for Fangyan himself, let alone others.

But he has the ability to build two buildings, twelve advanced ambulances, and twelve first-class defibrillators for the hospital.

No one else has it, so it’s reasonable for the leader to arrange it this way!

Fangyan goes to work today, and it is also the day when the hospital officially announces his promotion notice.

Early in the morning, Zhu Lin started cleaning up Fang Yan again.

My man was promoted to the honorary director of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Peking Union Medical College today. As his wife, of course I have to dress him up.

Just like the last groundbreaking ceremony, Fangyan’s handsome look appeared again.

PS: I got 100 more monthly tickets, so after updating this chapter, I still owe you 83000 words.

There's more in the afternoon.
