Chapter 477 Li Ji’s sense of responsibility
The first town and city, National Higher Medical College.
Ernst inspected the new school. The school leaders introduced the situation of the new school, accompanied by personnel from the Ministry of Health.
"Your Highness! Why does this so-called medical school have nothing to do with us? I think our skills are not bad at all!"
"Well, you are?" Ernst was a little confused. He looked at the person in front of him who suddenly raised doubts to him.
"This is Mr. Li Ji, a member of the Far East Medical Corps, who now serves as a consultant at the East African Ministry of Health." Health Minister Belgrade said.
"No wonder it is so! Mr. Li Ji, you can ask any questions you have. If it can be solved, then I will naturally help you solve it."
Li Ge said: "Far Eastern Medicine is The contribution we have made to East Africa in the past few years can be said to be obvious to all. Although we cannot say that it is definitely better than your Western medicine, the results are definitely not bad, but why does this school not even adopt our Far Eastern medicine? "
So that’s what happened? Ernst smiled and reassured: "Mr. Li Ji, do you understand medicine?"
Li Ji: "That's natural, this is what I eat."
Ernst: "Then can you use science to explain the principles of Far Eastern medicine?"
Li Ji: "This... Your Highness, you are making things difficult for me. The origin of our Far Eastern medicine is completely different from Western medicine." It’s different. Nature has nothing to do with the so-called science.”
After staying in East Africa for a long time, Li Ji also knows what science is. It is a complete set of theories, but Li Ji cannot use Yin Yang and Five Elements to force it. Corresponds to the so-called science in the West.
Ernst shook his head and said: "You have misunderstood the concept. In fact, no matter Western or Eastern medicine, there is no scientific concept at the beginning. They are all based on the experience summed up by primitive witch doctors. Science, and in terms of status, traditional Western medicine even retains more religious elements, such as the concept of qi, crow masks, the theory of evil spirits, etc., but now a new medical system has been born in the West. "< br>
The concept of "qi" is not Ernst's nonsense. It is the theoretical basis of bloodletting therapy. Europe has always followed the medical theory of the ancient Greek medical scientist Galen. Galen's theory believes that life comes from " "Qi", so on this basis Galen believed that blood is output from the heart to various parts of the body, rather than circulating. It is precisely because of this that Galen did not believe that the amount of blood in the human body was limited, so he also invented bloodletting. Therapy, this fallacy has killed many people.
"This new medical system started with Harvey. Harvey not only confirmed the theory of blood circulation through experiments, but he also pioneered the research methods of modern physiology and medicine. Of course, it is controversial for me to say this, and it is very likely that European doctors I don’t agree. They may use Hippocrates of ancient Greece as the origin. This is actually confusing concepts and forcibly binding modern medicine to traditional Western medicine. If you ask him to explain blood circulation, I’m afraid you will think it’s a fantasy. Tan.”
< br>This is also an old routine in the West. You can always find omnipotent masters from ancient Greece. In fact, this is a method that has to be used in the face of traditional forces. Of course, it may also be to gain some for yourself. The historical color adds to the historical background, but this is not the case in East Africa. Ernst said that Harvey was the father of modern medicine. From then on, Harvey was the father of modern medicine in East Africa, even if he was an Englishman. It is impossible in East Africa. Denying Newton is the same as denying Harvey.
Li Ji’s mind was full of confusion according to Ernst’s words. What theory of blood circulation? What Hippocrates...
Looking at the confused look of Li Ji and others, Ernst could only explain: "In short, there is a new force rising in medicine, and it is taking over All traditional medicine, no matter where it is in the world, is facing a crisis, unless you can also use science to explain the traditional medicine part, but obviously, you can't do it now. ""Then how to understand this science. ?”
"Observe, conjecture, experiment, confirm, apply, summarize." Ernst said.
"..." Li Ji thought the crown prince had something to talk about, but didn't expect this? So he said: "But Your Highness, this does not seem to conflict with traditional Eastern medicine. We are also observing and inferring. As for experiments, we also have them. That is a clinical issue. Finally, it is confirmed, applied and summarized."
Ernst thought, it seems that this is how Chinese medicine came about. No wonder it is so difficult to kill. If it can remain popular, it will be better to solve the problem.
He said to Li Ji: "Look, since the core of traditional oriental medicine and modern medicine are the same, then as oriental medicine practitioners, you should combine oriental medicine with modern medicine to form a unified "Create a new system of Eastern medicine."
Ernst continued: "I know that in the East, some people who claim to be medical masters are outrageous. They may not have any skills at all and only cheat, but you only need to question it. He, he uses metaphysics to explain problems. What is medicine like? There must be convincing evidence. For example, the masters of modern medicine all use experiments to confirm their theories. Of course Limited by the development of science and technology, their experiments may be wrong, but at this stage it is the truth. If your Chinese medicine practitioners can restructure the theoretical basis of Chinese medicine through evidence and experiments, then I will build a specialized Chinese medicine school. School.”
Ernst's request can be said to be quite embarrassing for Li Ji. Currently, Li Ji can be said to be the official representative of traditional Chinese medicine in East Africa. However, if he wants to maintain the status of traditional Chinese medicine, he must go all out and use so-called experiments and evidence to prove the importance of traditional Chinese medicine. sex.
However, these traditional Chinese medicine doctors in East Africa are only second-rate in the Far East, and it is difficult to conduct theoretical research, let alone science that they have never been exposed to. In this regard, the Far Eastern Empire is still too conscientious and does not treat those simple Scammers were sent to East Africa.
Li Ji: "Your Highness means that Chinese medicine must be reformed?"
Ernst: "It depends on your own choice. I can only say that East Africa only believes in science. If In the future, if you can prove that traditional Chinese medicine is scientific, then we will naturally promote its development, otherwise it will just be eliminated by modern medicine like traditional Western medicine.”
Ernst’s words make it so. Li Ji felt a deep sense of crisis. He was not in crisis about the status of traditional Chinese medicine in East Africa, but about the status of traditional Chinese medicine in the world. East Africa is a foreign country no matter how you say it. Will the Far East, the motherland of traditional Chinese medicine, also be in crisis? Replaced by so-called modern medicine? If this really happens, then my disciples and descendants of Chinese medicine practitioners are nothing!
No, Chinese medicine must make new breakthroughs in the new era. Chinese medicine cannot die in his own hands. Li Ji suddenly found himself under endless pressure and sense of responsibility, and at the same time he felt a sense of excitement. Of course he was not a top Chinese medicine doctor. But if Chinese medicine in your own hands can turn the tide and come back to life under the impact of the new era, what kind of glory would that be?
"Your Highness, we know what to do!" Li Ji said seriously.
From this moment on, East African traditional Chinese medicine took the lead in embarking on a different path, that is, the path of combining traditional Chinese medicine with science. However, this path is also the most difficult. Traditional Chinese medicine scholars headed by Li Ji placed themselves in the Far East. It's just a second-rate level, so they still have to continue learning the traditional Chinese medicine method, and they still have to learn the so-called science.
So it is destined that Li Ji’s generation will not be able to complete the construction of the new scientific system of traditional Chinese medicine. Instead, it will take several generations of people to work together to catch up. This has formed a new modern system with traditional Chinese medicine characteristics. The medical system is essentially the same thing as modern medicine, but with the color of Eastern culture, it has become part of the East African medical system.
