Merchant and doctor

Chapter 1128 A good doctor must be proficient in martial arts

Western medicine has two major advantages when treating patients: first, the collaboration between colleagues is particularly strong. For example, colleagues in the laboratory can directly send blood test reports to the attending physician almost at the same time, and many basic health indicators of the patient can be immediately seen at a glance; colleagues in the radiology department, especially experienced and highly skilled technicians, can help you with the initial diagnosis, and the attending physician can immediately make the most basic diagnosis of the patient's basic condition, and colleagues in the magnetic nuclear department can help you with further detailed re-diagnosis; colleagues in the operating room can help you make preoperative preparations seamlessly and impeccably, so as to minimize intraoperative and postoperative complications...

Everyone works together with clear responsibilities and detailed division of labor to minimize the diagnosis and treatment risks of the attending physician. More importantly, the workload and work intensity of the attending physician are reduced to a minimum during the same period.

Even if the Western medicine classmates who graduated with Bian Mu could get into a top-level hospital and reach the same level as Bian Mu, their work intensity in a week would not even reach one tenth of Bian Mu's. Moreover, Bian Mu followed the path of a fellow medical student. Whenever he had free time, he would study Chinese medicine, Chinese patent medicine preparation, secret recipes, etc. He invested a lot of time and energy into it.

Secondly, the increasingly advanced medical equipment can minimize the difficulty of diagnosis and workload of visiting doctors. A few test orders can be opened, and the entire physical examination plan can be typed into the computer. Many things are directly assigned to Western medicine colleagues. Small things such as running errands and taking care of patients are either handed over to the nurses on duty or directly handed over to the family members, especially those high-quality family members who are proficient and capable.

As a result, Western medicine physicians do not need to invest too much mental, energy, and physical strength... to deal with various complex illnesses and avoid so many unpredictable risks to the greatest extent. They may not see outpatients every day of the week, perform surgeries every day, and treat patients every day. The intensity of their work has been reduced unprecedentedly due to the intervention of advanced medical facilities.

Generally speaking, compared with Bian Mu, Western medicine doctors don’t find their work too tiring!
As for a certain surgeon who performs more than a dozen operations a day and even collapses in the operating room due to exhaustion, it is because he (she) is a little too "greedy" in some aspects. Some are greedy for fame, some are greedy for profit, and they deliberately increase the number of surgical opportunities to practice, to lay a foundation for themselves to write papers and evaluate professional titles in the future. In a normal hospital, with normal scheduling and normal recruitment of junior colleagues... that kind of situation would not occur in most cases.

Of course, this cannot rule out the fact that surgical experts with extremely high medical ethics have been dealing with difficult and complicated cases for years. It is simply that other colleagues cannot perform such difficult and complicated operations.

However, this phenomenon is not mainstream.

Bian Mu's situation is quite different. As a general practitioner of Chinese medicine, he must muster extremely abundant physical strength to deal with all patients, including surgery, gynecology, pediatrics, geriatrics, internal medicine, even ophthalmology and obstetrics... He has to face all challenges. Every day when he goes to work, the mental, energy and physical strength he invests... Teng Daili and Dr. Wu may not even devote 10% of his energy.

If one's physical condition, brain power, and medical skills are average, how can one push forward? !
Practice!

Legend has it that Shennong had supernatural powers, Bian Que was proficient in the "Six Supernatural Powers", and Hua Tuo was even more powerful, as he directly created the guiding techniques such as the Five Animal Exercises. According to Bian Mu's research, since ancient times, almost all the famous doctors who eventually died a good death were proficient in methods of physical and mental conditioning.

What's more, a considerable number of famous Chinese medicine experts are also experts in martial arts.

Strictly speaking, a truly excellent general practitioner of Chinese medicine must be well versed in "martial arts"!
Otherwise, physical strength alone won’t be enough to support it.

In Bian Mu's impression, Ouyang Ziye, Lu Shiyuan, Qi Shangqi...are far inferior to him in this respect. This is not because Bian Mu is younger and stronger than them. In terms of spirit, if 100 points are the full score, Ouyang Ziye can only be considered a pass at most, Lu Shiyuan is better, with 70 points for sure, Qi Shangqi is very intelligent, and 80 points should be barely within his reach, and Bian Mu is definitely above 95 points. Excellent!
As a result, when Ouyang Ziye was at the peak of his popularity, he was surrounded by a large number of assistants. Patient triage, initial screening of patients' conditions, copying prescriptions, follow-up treatment... etc. were all done by those young assistants, which saved him a lot of trouble.

Lu Shiyuan's situation is similar to Ouyang Ziye's.

Qi Shangqi carefully "cultivated" a large number of masters and doctors, and those disciples took the initiative to share the work for him.

Nie Yixiong, Cen Songxue, Meng Shulan... the specific situations of those first-class national medical masters are not much different. However, Nie Yixiong definitely knows some traditional martial arts, Cen Songxue is absolutely proficient in the art of strange induction, and Meng Shulan is definitely a master of Chinese medicine and health preservation. In this respect, each of them is more skilled than the other.

Of course, what Nie Yixiong and others have the most is disciples, so naturally there are people who will take the initiative to share many things.

As for the streets, at present... only Sima Kui and Bian Mu are generally similar. Bian Mu firmly believes that with Sima Kui's solid traditional martial arts skills and the premise that his serious illness has been completely cured, the old man can definitely handle 40 patients a day with a clear mind and eyes, no ringing in his ears, and be energetic.

Sima Kui is very skilled in Kung Fu!
Bian Mu and Luo Zhanqi were in a much worse situation. They didn't have any strong background, assistants, disciples, or other helpers. They were short of money and couldn't even afford to hire anyone! What should they do? They had to shoulder the responsibility themselves!
How could it work if the two of them didn't practice traditional martial arts diligently? !
Therefore, a decent Chinese medicine expert must be proficient in martial arts!
Luo Zhanqi's physical strength could not compare with Bian Mu. Seeing his patients waiting eagerly not far away, he greeted Bian Mu. Nurse Ye went through the relevant procedures. Luo Zhanqi pulled himself together and went upstairs to give massage and other treatments to the familiar old patients.

Bian Mu's medical skills had really improved, and the delay would not affect his normal consultation in the morning, so he made a few polite words to the people around him and persuaded them to leave.

"Ms. Lin! Please come this way!" As he spoke, Bian Mu invited the mother and son of the Lin family to sit on a wooden bench not far away.

To make it easier to talk, Bian Mu specially arranged for Ms. Lin's son to sit in the middle, with him and Ms. Lin sitting on her left and right.

"Look at your son's eyes now, they are becoming clearer and brighter. If you keep going, all your illnesses will be cured! There are some things we can actually say to each other frankly in the sun. Your son is a very outstanding young talent. If it weren't for your mismanagement for so many years... he might have achieved success in his career by now. From the perspective of our Chinese medicine, in a sense... it is you who have 'locked' your dearest person up with your own hands! As the saying goes, it is never too late to mend. He is still so young, and there is still time for everything." Bian Mu gave a few sincere advice.

After hearing this, both mother and son were silent...
