Merchant and doctor

Chapter 2199 of the paper's core content is reversed.

The paper was handwritten, unlike the usual typed papers on a computer. The handwriting was neat and the penmanship was upright, like something a serious medical student would write with care.

Professional papers in the field of Traditional Chinese Medicine are at least 5 words long.

The topic is decent, neither too broad nor too narrow, mainly discussing "the drawbacks of the new era medicine based solely on the theory of typhoid fever and miscellaneous diseases".

Professional TCM doctors, especially those who run clinics on the street and practice medicine independently, often place great importance on the authority of the "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases". Once they feel that their medical skills are limited, they will unconsciously think that they are not young anymore. Because they cannot fully interpret the "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases", they will often find themselves in a passive situation on the front line of clinical practice and find it difficult to extricate themselves.

Over time, during special periods, a special group of traditional Chinese medicine doctors inevitably developed a mystique surrounding the "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases," which, strictly speaking, was a deficiency in their theoretical understanding.

Bian Mu has never lagged behind in the study of traditional Chinese medicine theory, and he has put in a lot of hard work on the Treatise on Febrile Diseases. However, he never makes any random comments about the industry's tendency to blindly believe in the Treatise on Febrile Diseases, and he has never mentioned it in his related papers.

While browsing the main content, I still felt a deep respect for the original author of the paper.

……

"Are you preparing for your professional title evaluation?" Bian Mu asked with a smile as she gently placed the manuscript on the side of the small coffee table.

"Yes, yes! How is it? Is the argument tenable?" Assistant Li asked with concern.

"I doubt it will be linked to professional title evaluation..." Bian Mu replied in a very polite tone.

"Is the core content rather superficial or..." As he said this, Assistant Li's expression became somewhat uncertain.

"Well, to dare to criticize such an absolute medical classic as the Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases, that takes real courage! However... the author of this paper doesn't seem to have spent much time in clinical practice, so..." Bian Mu felt very conflicted. If he spoke too harshly, it wouldn't help and would only offend Assistant Li again. If he spoke too lightly, it wouldn't make a difference, and Assistant Li and her female relative might even think that Bian Mu's medical skills were just so-so, at least in terms of theoretical achievements, he had always been an amateur. Naturally, Bian Mu seemed a little hesitant in his words.

"She graduated only a few years ago and is currently working in the TCM department of a top-tier hospital, under the guise of a mentor, but she's already been prescribing medicine and treating patients independently for a long time. She just wants to get her professional title as soon as possible! This paper has been in the works for over a year, it's been a lot of hard work. If you think it's alright, could you help me revise it a bit?" Assistant Li didn't hold back at all and directly made a few requests.

"This... it's quite difficult to establish a core argument... if this thing is really to be changed, it might have to be rewritten!" Bian Mu didn't mince words and denied it outright in a gentle tone.

"It can't be that bad! I've had several experts review it, and they said the clinical data is a bit lacking, but the main body of the paper is basically sound. What do you say..." Assistant Li was a little unconvinced and politely retorted a few times.

"Well... let's put it this way... the style of academic papers has changed a lot now, and the requirements of the reviewing bodies are much stricter than before. Let's first use a logical framework to sort out the structure of her professional paper, clarifying all the logical links and details as much as possible. It's not hard to see that this paper ultimately proves that the *Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases* is indeed an unchanging classic, the wisdom of the medical sage! Not only does it not require any reflection, but on the contrary, we should strengthen our study and research of traditional medical theories in this area... In layman's terms, it's backwards!" Bian Mu was really cornered and had to tell the truth. "Huh?! Really?! I've read it, and I didn't find anything wrong with the basic logic... Are you sure?!" Assistant Li suddenly seemed a little at a loss.

Assistant Li is a genuine PhD graduate from a prestigious university. He has followed Professor Mi for many years and has gained a lot in all aspects. At the very least, it's worth it!
However, you know how people are! With so many people involved, things are bound to go wrong; she might have been a little careless in her academic pursuits…

At least, to this day, Bian Mu has never been heard of having any outstanding achievements in theoretical research, and at least, she has made almost no contribution to the field of traditional Chinese medicine.

Compared to Bian Mu, she was actually an amateur.

Assistant Li had always been in his position with ease and had never been criticized like this before. Hearing Bian Mu say this, he felt quite embarrassed.

“That’s absolutely true! These days, many paper frameworks are outdated, I mean logical frameworks, and specifically, highly detailed new frameworks. Clearly, this author’s academic style is too strong; you wouldn’t guess she’s been working on the front lines of clinical practice for so many years. So… if this paper were sent to a reputable institution, it would most likely be rejected outright!” Bian Mu felt she had no need of Assistant Li. Professor Mi was about to officially retire, so Assistant Li would have to find another job. The chances of Bian Mu meeting her again were practically zero, so why be polite?
Fortunately, Bian Mu was quite gentlemanly, and patiently pointed out the core error in the paper, hoping that the person would adjust their thinking and then re-establish a more serious topic with a smaller perspective to prepare properly.

Even contemporary medical papers, especially those on the subject of traditional Chinese medicine, are not easy to write.

In the AI ​​era, once the machine scans the device, all the vulnerabilities are exposed. Not to mention higher-level and more advanced equipment, even relatively immature clinical medical software like the "Digital Medicine" project can detect many serious flaws.

Perhaps Assistant Li himself hasn't put in much effort over the years, and has become rusty on many important things.

Just then, Professor Mi pushed open the door and entered, followed by a middle-aged man and a middle-aged woman.

"I knew you'd be waiting here! I'm sorry, I haven't had much of an appetite lately, but I didn't dare skip meals, so I was delayed at home for a while. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Come on! Let me introduce you. This is Dr. Fang, and this is Dr. Zhang! This is the renowned Dr. Bian Mu! We're all family here, so sit down and let's chat!" As he spoke, Professor Mi formally introduced the two middle-aged men behind him to Bian Mu.

This caused Bian Mu, along with his assistant Li, to be momentarily stunned.

What does this mean? Professor Mi doesn't seem to care much about his health, and what about these two PhDs?!

Bian Mu's head suddenly felt like it was about to explode; for a moment, he was completely baffled as to what Professor Mi was trying to do.

Bian Mu has always been excluded from mainstream academic circles. Of course, the responsibility lies with him, not others. Judging from today's situation, the future landscape may undergo some subtle changes.
