Chinese medicine: from rural hospitals to top three hospitals in Kyoto

Chapter 791: Xinglin Discussion (2)

"Today is the 'Young People Discussing Taoism' session of our exchange meeting."

Mo Xinzhi was responsible for presiding over the meeting.

According to previous exchange meetings, in fact, after yesterday, we arrived at the last part of the exchange meeting, which is to visit some traditional Chinese medicine related industries, booths, etc. in Lingnan.

However, this session has added a session for exchanges between young doctors, namely the "Young Doctors Discussion" session.

For this session, some relevant leaders who were present in the previous two days did not come. To be more precise, there were a lot fewer heavyweight leaders. Compared with the meetings in the previous two days, today's communication session was also more relaxed.

"Mr. Liang Qichao once said, 'If the youth are wise, the country will be wise; if the youth are rich, the country will be rich; if the youth are strong, the country will be strong; if the youth are independent, the country will be independent...' Similarly, for us Chinese medicine practitioners, young Chinese medicine practitioners and young people are the future and hope of Chinese medicine..."

Mo Xinzhi said slowly: "This 'Young Doctors' Forum' session is also to provide an opportunity for you young doctors who have come to attend the conference to communicate and learn..."

"Although there are awards in this session, it is just to encourage everyone and focus on participation... In addition to several awards, we have also prepared gifts for all participating young doctors. We hope that everyone will speak enthusiastically and show themselves..."

Mo Xinzhi's meaning was very clear, that is, although this link has the Best Participation Award and three Outstanding Participation Awards, the evaluation is not that strict.

"This time, the exchange is mainly for young doctors under the age of 40. We old guys will serve as judges on the sidelines and vote unanimously when the time comes..."

There are actually not many young doctors under the age of 40 who are qualified to attend this meeting. Including Han Xingwen, Chen Yang and others from Lingnan, there are only about a dozen people.

There are more than a dozen people and four awards. This winning rate is indeed not low.

"Because time is limited, everyone will discuss some topics in the morning and express their opinions. In the afternoon, there will be several patients, and everyone will diagnose and treat them on the spot and discuss with each other. The judges will score and vote based on everyone's performance..."

As soon as Mo Xinzhi finished speaking, many young doctors began to whisper.

After all, it's just an exchange meeting, so it won't be like a real exam where everyone is given questions. This part, on the one hand, tests everyone's abilities, and on the other hand, it also tests their character and courage.

People who are relatively introverted and have a weaker desire to express themselves are relatively at a disadvantage. After all, there are some topics and medical records that several people may understand and know, and it just depends on who performs best.

Mo Xinzhi briefly talked about some precautions for this session, and then sat down at the side. The host began to introduce the young doctors participating in the exchange.

"The first topic is what aspects of traditional Chinese medicine should focus on at present."

The host brought up the first topic.

Because Mo Xinzhi has just roughly explained the rules, this session mainly depends on personal performance. It is also very important to speak actively and show yourself.

As soon as the host finished speaking, a tall and capable young doctor stood up first, cleared his throat, and said: "In my opinion, Chinese medicine should focus on the integration of inheritance and innovation."

"Classic works of traditional Chinese medicine, such as Huangdi Neijing and Shanghan Lun, carry thousands of years of wisdom and are the foundation of traditional Chinese medicine theory and practice. We must study them in depth and pass down their essence. But at the same time, the times are developing and the spectrum of diseases is constantly changing. We cannot stand still."

"Take tumors as an example. Although there are no completely corresponding symptoms in traditional Chinese medicine books, we can learn from modern medicine's understanding of tumors, combine the holistic concept of Chinese medicine with syndrome differentiation and treatment, and explore new ideas for anti-cancer that combine Chinese and Western medicine. For example, during the radiotherapy and chemotherapy of tumor patients, the method of strengthening the body and nourishing the body by Chinese medicine can be used to reduce the toxic side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy and improve the quality of life of patients. This is the embodiment of innovative application."

"This is obviously to comply with Mo Xinzhi and Mo Lao."

Xia Hongliang whispered to Lin Yi: "Mr. Mo's previous views were very much in favor of combining Chinese and Western medicine and in favor of the innovation of Chinese medicine. This is to please the examiner."

"That's not entirely true. In the medical field today, doctors with similar ideas are actually the mainstream. And from that point of view, it's not completely aimless. Traditional Chinese medicine has indeed played a significant role in chemotherapy and radiotherapy for cancer." Lin Yi said.

Then, a pretty female doctor stood up and said in a clear but steady voice: "I think TCM should strengthen the construction of talent training system."

"Currently, there is a disconnect between theory and practice in TCM education. Although students learn a wealth of TCM theoretical knowledge in class, they are often at a loss when faced with complex and ever-changing diseases when they enter the clinic."

“Therefore, we should strengthen the in-depth cooperation between colleges and hospitals, let students get in touch with clinical practice as early as possible, follow experienced Chinese medicine practitioners to copy prescriptions and assist in diagnosis, and deepen their understanding and application of theoretical knowledge in practice. At the same time, we should also focus on cultivating the humanistic qualities of Chinese medicine students. Chinese medicine is not only a medical skill, but also a medical system that contains humanistic care. Only with good communication skills and empathy can we better serve patients.”

After the female doctor finished speaking, many senior colleagues nodded slightly.

"Well said. The training of talents in traditional Chinese medicine should indeed combine practice and clinical practice..." Liu Songyan agreed with the female doctor's statement.

After the female doctor finished speaking, Han Xingwen slowly stood up. As a well-known young Chinese medicine practitioner in Lingnan, Han Xingwen stood up and instantly attracted many eyes present.

"I think TCM needs to work harder to expand its service areas. Nowadays, people's demands for health are becoming increasingly diversified. TCM should not be limited to disease treatment, but should be extended to prevention, rehabilitation, health care and other fields."

"In terms of prevention, we can develop personalized prevention plans for people with different physical conditions through TCM constitution identification, so as to prevent diseases before they occur. In the field of rehabilitation, we can give full play to the advantages of traditional TCM therapies, such as acupuncture, massage, and Chinese medicine fumigation, in promoting limb function recovery and relieving chronic pain, and help patients recover..."

"In terms of health care, we should develop health management services with Chinese medicine characteristics, such as Chinese medicine exercise guidance and emotional conditioning, to improve the health literacy of the whole people. Moreover, in the process of expanding the service field, we should be good at using Internet technology to build an online Chinese medicine health service platform so that high-quality Chinese medicine resources can benefit the public more conveniently."

There wasn't much to highlight in Han Xingwen's speech. Although he elaborated on the development direction of traditional Chinese medicine from multiple dimensions, it also echoed what Xia Hongliang and Lin Yi had just said. These remarks were probably directed at the judges.

It is somewhat similar to the imperial examination in ancient times, which was based on the examiner's preferences.
