Merchant and doctor

Chapter 99 Limitations of Traditional Chinese Medicine

Bian Mu and the others are young after all, before eleven o'clock in the evening, they basically visited the whole night market.

"Are you hungry? There's a tea soup wonton stand over there, can you have some?" Bian Mu greeted.

"That's an Internet celebrity stall, there will be more people in a while, let's go!" As he spoke, Xiao He walked quickly towards the snack stall.

The owner of the stall is an old lady who is nearly seventy years old, with half-white hair, and she looks very energetic.

Bian Mu had a big appetite, and in addition to a serving of wontons, he added two donkey meats to the fire.

"Doctor Bian! Was the stall owner talking about traditional exam questions or did he suffer from that disease?" Xiao He asked curiously.

"That's a traditional Chinese medicine exam question. It comes from "Yi Lin Bian Jing".

"Is it classic?"

"Not to mention, it can barely be regarded as an intermediate reading material! Many expositions on etiology and pharmacology are outdated. Treating people based on those things will most likely lead to misdiagnosis. Passing the threshold of digital technology will lead to the completion of the medical framework of Great Chinese Medicine, and by then, many diseases will basically be cured.” Bian Mu explained with a smile.

"The stall owner seems quite convinced."

"Why don't you say that he set up a street stall! Many professional Chinese medicine doctors in the world still adhere to a very traditional theoretical system. Many diseases cannot be cured at all, and some that can be cured are misdiagnosed. It's too rigid!" After eating one The donkey meat was on fire, and Bian Mu had a rather emotional expression on his face.

"You mean that the stall owner will see a doctor?"

"I know a little bit, and I can fool a few times when I have a headache. I can't see a doctor for outsiders. How smart people are now! Most people don't believe him!" Bian Mu explained with a smile.

"Then the set of old books you bought should also belong to the category of traditional Chinese medicine?"

"That's right! This set of books is not bad. It provides a large number of real medical cases, which is very rare. It can be seen that the author has recorded the facts and his attitude is quite rigorous. In addition, this set of books also mentions surgery in traditional Chinese medicine. Quite rare."

"Really? Didn't you pick up a big leak?"

"That's not to say. There is no such thing as a unique secret book in Chinese medicine. They are all used by charlatans to bluff people. At most, it will help us to have a deeper understanding of traditional Chinese medicine."

"After what you said, I seem to understand a lot of things. Then... are you still practicing Kung Fu? I see that you have picked out several old martial arts magazines!"

"Traditional Chinese medicine is very labor-intensive. When you encounter a bone disease patient, sometimes you have to toss for a whole morning. If you don't have any knowledge in martial arts, you can't get it off at all. You don't know. Since ancient times, medicine and martial arts have not been separated. Yes. Already, where did I ask you to find a martial arts teacher at school?"

"I found one, a female teacher, who can teach more than 30 people at the same time, including classmates, teachers, and martial arts lovers in the society. It's free."

"Then practice hard."

"I will. Just now the stall owner looked very worldly. Why did he only charge you 100 yuan?"

"Let's put a long line to catch big fish!"

"How to say?"

"If I'm not wrong, the stall owner's main business should be in the ghost market. The night market business is just a cover. Based on his knowledge, he believes that I will visit the ghost market sooner or later. He prepared things in advance and waited for me there. If you don’t knock, you’re done, and if you knock, you’ll hit a big pen.”

"Good guy! So insidious!" Xiao He exclaimed.

"That's out of the question. It's business! The buyer is at his own risk."

"Then you will definitely not patronize the ghost market!"

"Go! Why don't you go? Quan should understand the world and the people's livelihood. Besides, it is really possible to find special treasures in that kind of place!"

"Then you must call me when you go!"

"That depends on how well you have practiced Changquan. Ghost market, ghost market, no ghosts! If there is a disagreement, I have to use my real skills to escape. You have to follow, and I can't take care of both ends at the same time."

Upon hearing this, Xiao He curled his lips, and a very disappointed look appeared on Xiao He's face.

"Study at school with peace of mind! Places like ghost markets are best not to touch if you don't have any foundation in life. Curiosity must be cast in the right place."

"Okay! Listen to you!"

After dinner, Bian Mu scanned the QR code to pay the fee, said some polite words to the stall owner and the old couple, and the two walked slowly towards the street.

……

On this day, just in time for the salary payment, Bian Mu received a total of more than 22000, which was less than a full month. This was the first time he got such a high salary, and Bian Mu was overjoyed.

Through mobile banking, Bian Mu transferred 2 yuan to his mother, and only kept more than 2000 yuan for himself.

Knowing that Bian Mu can earn so much money in the city, Bian's family is all overjoyed, saying that the whole family will move to the city just around the corner.

At noon that day, when it was almost twelve o'clock, Bian Mu got off work on time and was sorting out work notes in the consulting room, when Assistant Zhang opened the door and came in.

"Ms. Luo went to Shanghai Island to participate in the pen fair. Mr. Luo's house is more convenient to enter and exit. We think it's safer for you to conduct an on-site inspection. What do you think?"

"Okay! Let's go now?"

"Yeah! I'll treat you to dinner later."

"Don't stay at his house, it's awkward, let's eat outside!"

"Okay! Waiting for you at the back door of the hospital!"

"Okay! See you later!" After saying that, Bian Mu locked his work notes into the drawer.

Just as Bian Mu left, Dr. Wu opened the door and walked in. She couldn't find her mobile phone. She thought it might have left it in the consulting room. She entered the door and searched for a long time, but couldn't find it. The small brass lock of the drawer under the table took a few glances and seemed to be thinking.

……

There are several houses in the Luo family, and after running down this trip, Bian Mu's back was covered in sweat.

I took a lot of photos and videos, and later my phone ran out of memory, so Bian Mu borrowed Assistant Zhang's laptop to record all the key points.

Seeing that the time for work in the afternoon was approaching, the two had no choice but to buy a few burgers and two drinks at a fast food restaurant to make up for a meal.

……

After seven o'clock in the evening, Bian Mu stayed in the dormitory to draw a "livable and remodeling map" for Luo Jiaming. It had been a long time since he had used the 3D modeling software, and the software had been upgraded several times, so Bian Mu was somewhat flustered.

"Boom...boom...boom..." Someone knocked on the door.

When I opened the door, I saw an old gentleman with white hair and a childlike face.

"Ouch! Mr. Huang! Why are you here? Please come in quickly! If you have something to say, I'll visit you! How can I make you condescend to come and see me!" As he spoke, Bian Mu hurriedly invited Mr. Huang Boxi into the house.

In the evening, drinking tea is not suitable, so Bian Mu had to wash some fresh fruits to entertain the old man.

"The prescription you prescribed really works. My distant nephew, who is not up to date, is much better. I called and asked me to thank you very much! I just got off work, and I looked up and saw that the light was on in your room, thinking that you were not on duty in the emergency department , come up to say hello to you, I have a small courtyard in the countryside, and it will be just in time for the big market in two days, is it convenient for Doctor Bian? Come and sit in my small courtyard?"

"Okay! I like to go to the market. When will it be?"

"You are the backbone of the hospital, let's make it a Saturday! Let's leave on Saturday afternoon and come back on Sunday night. There will be no delay, but you have to stay with me for one night. Do you mind?"

"Look at what you said, the beautiful scenery in the mountains and villages is what I wish for. Then I'll pack up and leave after work on Saturday afternoon?"

"Doctor Bian is really a cheerful person, then I won't bother you, see you later!"

"Is your home far from our hospital?"

"Across the road is the fund-raising house of my wife's unit. The house is a bit small and there are many people living there, so I am embarrassed to invite you to come and sit at home."

"You're too polite! I'm not that particular, so please slow down on the way!" As he spoke, Bian Mu politely sent Mr. Huang to the elevator entrance, and waited for the old man to enter the elevator. Only then waved goodbye to the old man.
