"Doctor Bai! Is Traditional Chinese Medicine really that powerful?" Xiaoweng truly admired it from the bottom of his heart.
Li Xiangqian laughed heartily and patted Xiaoweng on the shoulder, "Think about it, Doctor Bai’s acupuncture can actually replace anesthesia. I can bluntly tell you, Traditional Chinese Medicine can do many more miraculous things. It all depends on how you learn and how you view it. Traditional Chinese Medicine is indeed powerful."
Director Jin was also cheerful. His son was very difficult to discipline, and he always hoped to pass down the skills he had acquired in his lifetime.
He had long since become disheartened with disciplining his son, as the boy’s disdain made it very difficult for father and son to communicate.
But ever since his own surgery, after his son heard about Doctor Bai’s miraculous acupuncture replacing anesthesia, he was utterly in awe of Doctor Bai, treating him like a deity, and was eager to have Doctor Bai as his master.
From then on, the child changed a lot and gradually became interested in Traditional Chinese Medicine, often flipping through the herbal books and basic theory in his own bookcase, and even occasionally interacting with them.
Director Jin finally felt a sense of having waited until the clouds parted to reveal the moon.
All thanks to Bai Xiao.
"Of course! If you don’t believe me, just ask Doctor Bai." That was the time to encourage the child.
To inspire him with the motivation to continue moving forward.
Director Jin looked at Bai Xiao with a pleading gaze.
Bai Xiao was silent, looking at Xiaoweng’s sincere and serious eyes, suddenly feeling a bit ashamed from the bottom of his heart.
Speaking bluntly, his skill in Traditional Chinese Medicine was half-baked at best. He had only learned a little bit of the basics, and he could not even truly claim to have scratched the surface, essentially putting on a façade.
"Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine are the same in that as long as they can cure diseases and save people, it does not matter whether it is Traditional Chinese Medicine or Western Medicine. What we really need to do, considering the needs of future societal development, is to integrate Traditional and Western Medicine. This is the path that suits our country’s development."
After all, Traditional Chinese Medicine is our heritage. To abandon it could mean the extinction of ancient cultural traditions! But Western Medicine has its advantages too, and we should not oppose others just because we are committed to one thing.
"I hope that during my time at Medical University, I can calm down and seriously study this area. Of course, I also hope that young people like you will join this research, allowing our national essence to display its charm once again."
A righteous speech! But Bai Xiao genuinely hoped that kids like Xiaoweng wouldn’t approach learning with prejudice. This generation must be instilled with a correct set of moral and value judgements.
Director Jin slammed his hand on the table, excited, "Right, what Doctor Bai said is excellent. The integration of Traditional and Western Medicine is indeed the feasible path for the future development of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Doctor Bai! What you said is wonderful. This thought is great—we must go back and apply with the Dean to begin exploring this path of integration. We can pioneer a project as a precedent for other hospitals." 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝒑𝙪𝒃.𝒄𝒐𝙢
Li Xiangqian and Wang Zhiwen also couldn’t help but reflect! The integration of Traditional and Western Medicine, when they thought about it, really seemed promising.
Take, for example, Bai Xiao’s acupuncture and Western Medicine’s suturing technique; such an integration could reduce many complications for patients in the future.
The acupuncture anesthesia developed by their ancestors had been completely phased out due to the intervention of Western anesthesia drugs. But in reality, the effectiveness of acupuncture without anesthesia drugs was far superior compared to using anesthesia drugs.
This indeed opened up a new line of thought for them.
