Indeed, the first thought that came to Director Li's mind was: What should I do if something goes wrong?
In fact, one cannot entirely blame Director Li for having such thoughts. You know, a long time has passed since the emergence of the Ebola virus, but there has never been a case of successful treatment using traditional Chinese medicine.
For a long time, the approach taken to deal with this difficult disease has been dominated by Western medicine. Although a complete set of feasible and effective treatment plans has not yet been formed, at least some basic guiding suggestions exist, which can be used as a reference.
If treatment is implemented based on these existing evidences, even if an unfortunate situation occurs in the end, it will be difficult to place the blame on them. However, if you rashly try to use Chinese medicine for treatment, if any accidents or adverse consequences occur, various opinions and accusations will come one after another.
After all, there is a lack of sufficient practical experience and scientific verification for the application of traditional Chinese medicine in the fight against Ebola virus, and the uncertainty is too high.
Therefore, it makes sense for Director Li to think more carefully. After all, what we are facing this time is the Ebola virus that makes people talk about it! If you are not careful, the probability of problems is astonishingly high.
Even if medical staff try their best to treat patients, it may be difficult to avoid individual deaths. If you act haphazardly at this critical moment and use TCM methods that have not been fully demonstrated, and then cause a series of serious consequences, and then be criticized as abusing TCM and causing the condition to worsen, then you can really jump into the Yellow River and not be able to clean it up!
"Director Wu, isn't this too risky? If something goes wrong, we can't afford it. There is no such precedent before."
Yes, it’s a precedent!
The current methods of treating Ebola-infected patients follow precedent, and experience comes from previous infection treatment methods, such as those in Country M or other countries.
After all, the Ebola virus had not appeared in China before, so it was natural to learn from those countries that had prevented and treated the Ebola virus.
Now Wu Xiaofu told him that if he wanted to have an innovative treatment, he should use traditional Chinese medicine. Whose heart could bear it?
"The Ebola virus has not invaded our country before. If there had been, there would have been a precedent. Director Li, you have also seen that with our current methods, it is really ineffective for patients. If this continues, not to mention Huang Xiaojiang, even Director Liao may have problems
Western medicine treats diseases, but now we don’t even know the root cause of the Ebola virus. If we just use symptomatic medicine, it would be too passive. Once the Ebola virus becomes serious, the patients may not be able to bear it. .
We were born in China, and we all know the concepts of traditional Chinese medicine.
The main purpose of traditional Chinese medicine in treating people is to enhance people's immunity, which is exactly what these patients need now. Since we can't do anything to the virus, why don't we try to enhance the patient's own anti-virus ability? ”
Well!
Listening to Wu Xiaofu's words, Director Li couldn't help but nodded. He had to admit that what Wu Xiaofu said was right and reasonable. However, it was useless to say this. In the end, it had to be implemented in treatment, but who dares to say that it can be used? Traditional Chinese Medicine treats Ebola virus.
Even if it’s just to enhance the patient’s immunity.
But Wu Xiaofu had already mentioned this, and Director Li couldn't refuse anymore. He hesitated and said slowly.
"Well, let's call all the doctors from the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine over and have a meeting to discuss it."
Naturally, the First Affiliated Hospital has a Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and it does a good job. Director Liu, who is in charge of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, is a master of Traditional Chinese Medicine and is very famous around the world.
Director Liu was a little surprised after receiving the call. He had never thought that their traditional Chinese medicine would be used when the Ebola virus appeared this time.
The current situation of Chinese medicine is obvious to all Chinese people. Today’s Chinese medicine is no longer the magical medical skill in people’s minds. Instead, it is used to regulate the body or is the last choice for some people.
It is everyone’s consensus that TCM treats diseases slowly. No one will seek TCM treatment for some acute diseases, so most of them are patients with poor spleen and stomach, or patients with insufficient kidney qi, kidney essence deficiency, or some back pain. For minor problems such as this, some people will find a Chinese medicine doctor and take a few medicines to treat them.
Most still have the mentality of giving it a try.
Or there are some cases where western medicine treatment is ineffective and one can only pin hope on traditional Chinese medicine, such as late-stage tumors.
For such a very harmful virus, no one can think of traditional Chinese medicine, and even if they think of it, they dare not use it.
However, now that someone has remembered it, Director Liu is naturally obligated, so without saying anything, he brings some of the medical staff in the department to the Department of Gastroenterology.
After seeing Wu Xiaofu and hearing that it was Wu Xiaofu's suggestion, Director Liu seemed to have some realization.
Director Liu had also heard about Wu Xiaofu's association with traditional Chinese medicine. After all, his ability to feel the pulse was unique among the western medicine doctors in the hospital. Moreover, there were some reports that Wu Xiaofu had cured patients by relying on traditional Chinese medicine.
It's just that Wu Xiaofu has never come to the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine to communicate with Director Liu, so the two are only at the stage of spiritual friendship and have not officially met yet.
"Teacher Liu, I'm sorry to trouble you to come here, but I might really trouble you this time."
When Wu Xiaofu saw Director Liu, he hurriedly stepped forward and said that Wu Xiaofu respected Director Liu very much. After all, he was the number one Chinese medicine doctor in the country.
Director Liu seemed to be easy to get along with, "It's my turn to thank you. To be honest, I didn't expect that someone would think of Chinese medicine for such a big thing. It seems that all these years of publicity have not been in vain. However, Thank you, thank you. There are some things I have to say to the end.
I am not sure about the treatment of Ebola virus. After all, it is my first time to come into contact with Ebola virus. How to start, I still need to see the patient. ”
This is reasonable, but looking at Director Liu, Wu Xiaofu hesitated.
"Teacher Liu, we invite you to come here. In fact, we mainly want you to guide us. If you want to see patients, you must know to some extent that the Ebola virus is extremely contagious. Even with our full set of protection, direct contact with When you are a patient, you may also be infected with Ebola virus
That's all I can say. You are already old and I really can't afford it if you get infected. ”
Guidance from the side? Director Liu looked at Wu Xiaofu with a slightly condensed expression, "Director Wu, are you looking down on me? We are all doctors. You dare to contact patients directly, but we don't? Since we have agreed and are willing to come, it means that we have done a good job Fully prepared.”
Wu Xiaofu didn't dare to admit this. How dare he look down on Director Liu. He hurriedly wanted to say something, but Director Liu waved his hand directly, "Okay, don't say more, just take us to see the patient."
This time Director Liu brought over several medical staff, two doctors and two nurses, both of whom were older and looked like they were experienced. The Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine is where the most directors and professors are, and even the other two, That was also at the level of a master. Wu Xiaofu looked at the two of them, but they just smiled.
"Okay, Director Wu, please take us there quickly."
Wu Xiaofu was also helpless. Having said this, what else could he say, "Then it will be a burden to a few teachers."
No longer hesitating, Wu Xiaofu took Director Liu and the others directly to the isolation ward. He did not go directly to Huang Xiaojiang, but went to Director Liao's ward first. After all, Director Liao was obviously more cooperative than other infected people. higher.
But seeing Wu Xiaofu taking Director Liu and the others to the ward, Director Li felt a little numb. It seemed that he hadn't directly agreed to Wu Xiaofu just now. He just said that he would call over to discuss it. Now it's good, it seems that things have been settled directly. Since then, After Director Liu came in, he went directly to Wu Xiaofu.
Until now, he hasn't even talked to me.
Moreover, just now I was mainly listening to the two people talking, and I was a little confused. Now Director Li has realized that he is the commander-in-chief of this prevention and control work. He, what is this situation? Director Liu came and said I didn’t say anything to him, so I went to Wu Xiaofu first.
Why, such a big person is just like the air, so you still have to say a few words, so be cool.
The latest chapter of this novel was first published on 6@9书#. Please go to Liujiu Book Bar to read it!
Director Li was embarrassed and angry now, and he didn't know whether he should follow him or not.
"Hey, Director, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't notice you just now. My eyes are clumsy, my eyes are clumsy. Thank you for giving us this opportunity."
When Director Liu said these words with a solemn expression, it was definitely not out of simple politeness. You must know that the prevention and control of Ebola virus is by no means easy, and it contains huge risks and uncertainties. However, things often have two sides. In addition to the obvious dangers, this work also has many potential benefits.
Since the vigorous development of Western medicine, traditional Chinese medicine has been less involved or even marginalized in the prevention and treatment of such epidemics. Even if it is occasionally involved, the role played is mostly limited to providing some auxiliary support, far from becoming a leading force.
But this time the situation is completely different. As Wu Xiaofu said, if traditional Chinese medicine can be successfully established as a mainstream method for the prevention and treatment of Ebola virus, its significance will be immeasurable!
If this attempt is finally realized and achieves remarkable results, it will create a new situation in China's medical and health field.
From then on, whenever China is hit by other types of epidemics again, people will no longer subconsciously ignore the existence of traditional Chinese medicine as they did in the past. On the contrary, the first thing they will most likely think of is relying on the power of traditional Chinese medicine to fight against the disease and protect them. People's health.
As a result, the benefits to the long-term development of the traditional Chinese medicine industry will undoubtedly be extremely far-reaching and extensive. This impact is not only reflected in a substantial increase in social recognition, but is also expected to prompt more resource investment and policy support for relevant research and practice, thereby further promoting the in-depth integration and innovative development of traditional Chinese medicine in the modern medical system.
Director Liu comes from a family of traditional Chinese medicine. In addition to the traditional Chinese medicine books and skills that have been passed down, there is also the traditional Chinese medicine spirit that has been passed down, and many stories about the development of traditional Chinese medicine in the family.
Listening to these stories, Director Liu seemed to have seen the rise and fall of traditional Chinese medicine.
Nowadays, people's trust in traditional Chinese medicine is getting lower and lower. This is what Director Liu is most distressed about. In addition to devoting himself to the research of traditional Chinese medicine and using traditional Chinese medicine to treat diseases and save people, he has also been busy trying to develop traditional Chinese medicine and regain people's understanding of traditional Chinese medicine. confidence, so that more people can understand and believe in traditional Chinese medicine.
Unfortunately, the impact of Western medicine is too great, and everything he does seems to have little effect.
Gradually, Director Liu himself became a little discouraged. He knew that for some things, his own efforts alone were not enough, and he really needed a chance.
And this Ebola virus incident is an opportunity.
Yes, when Wu Xiaofu called, Director Liu keenly felt the hidden meaning behind this incident. While treating diseases and saving people, he could also promote Chinese medicine and improve the status of Chinese medicine. Director Liu can be said to be doing his part, and this is also The reason why Director Liu is so positive.
Of course, he also knew that if they really took the exam but failed to achieve results, not only would they not be able to improve the social recognition of Chinese medicine, but they might also discredit Chinese medicine and make the public disappointed in Chinese medicine again.
But today’s Chinese medicine practitioners are already at this level. How much worse can they be? So, it’s blocked.
"Director Liu, you are embarrassing me. I should be the one thanking you. It is a blessing for our team and the patient that you can help."
Having said this, Director Li knew that he could no longer exclude Director Liu. He didn't even think clearly about how Director Liu could be so active in such a dangerous matter. Is it really because of great love? Because of the benevolent spirit of doctors?
Director Li can only think this way now.
In the isolation ward, it was so quiet that only the slight sound of the equipment could be heard. Wu Xiaofu, Director Li and Director Liu walked side by side, followed by two other Chinese medicine doctors - Dr. Han and Dr. Lu.
Director Liao, who was lying on the hospital bed, got up quickly when he heard the noise, looked up, and glanced at the five people in front of him, with a look of surprise on his face.
You know, compared to Wu Xiaofu, who has less contact with the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Director Liao can be regarded as a frequent visitor. After all, the gastroenterology department where they work often has many patients coming for treatment with gastrointestinal problems.
These patients often hope to improve their gastrointestinal conditions through TCM prescriptions to achieve the purpose of recuperating their bodies. Over time, Director Liao even developed the habit of actively contacting the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine for consultations with patients.
Not to mention diseases of other systems, as far as diseases of the digestive system are concerned, the results achieved since the use of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatments are truly amazing.
This method of combining traditional Chinese medicine concepts with modern medical technology not only gives full play to the unique advantages of traditional Chinese medicine in regulating body functions, but also uses Western medicine’s precise diagnosis and advanced treatment methods to significantly improve the treatment effect.
