Merchant and doctor

Chapter 2426 Traditional Chinese Medicine Pulse Diagnosis is surprisingly three-dimensional and intuitive.
Even if Bian Mu's medical concepts are progressively advanced, his clinical skills are superb, and his "digital medicine" system is brilliant, how far can he go by relying solely on his brother?
Objectively speaking, Bian Mu needs to have a relatively mature medical team in all aspects. Even if the team members' comprehensive medical skills cannot be on par with his own, they should be as close as possible to Bian Mu's current level. At present, only Dian Shuhua can barely achieve this, while Dr. Gong is still quite far behind.

Specifically regarding cancer treatment, Bian Mu needs to train at least two assistant-level colleagues. Currently, only Dian Shuhua and Dr. Gong are qualified enough to be considered. Whenever the opportunity arises, Bian Mu will share all his knowledge with them, explaining key technical details in great detail and thoroughness.

Bian Mu knew very well that if the "numerical medicine" school of thought ultimately became just a one-man show by his older brother, the school would only disappear into the vast river of history like many traditional medical schools of the past, without even leaving a trace.

The "digital medicine" school must be an open, vibrant, and progressive medical school with shared ideals. As long as its original aspirations remain unchanged and it continues to innovate, it will surely be able to be passed down for a long time.

“Aunt Xue’s illness isn’t very serious, but the focus of the diagnosis isn’t on the nasal tumor. From the very beginning, we need to find the initial triggering mechanism. To explain this clearly, we have to mention a martial arts novel, the famous Lord Wei. You two have both read the original work, right?” Bian Mu suddenly brought up a very well-known martial arts novel.

Feeling somewhat bewildered, Dian Shuhua and Dr. Gong exchanged glances, their minds momentarily blank.

Their boss had always insisted that he did not treat cancer patients, and even patients with mild early-stage cancer would not be included in the "New Concept" Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic's scope of treatment. Over time, Dian Shuhua and Dr. Gong naturally focused their studies on treatments other than cancer. When they suddenly heard such an analogy, they were caught off guard and couldn't process it in such a short time.

Dian Shuhua, who had always enjoyed reading chivalrous novels, smiled and nodded slightly in response.

"I haven't read the original novel, but I've watched a bit of the TV series. It's not very interesting. The characters are all glib and smooth-talking, not respectable people at all!" Dr. Gong replied with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Bian Mu burst into laughter.

"That's exactly the kind of 'good and evil' spirit we're after! Cancer, currently, is still based on cell theory as its core argument. In our school of thought, cancer cells themselves are a medical phenomenon that is both good and evil. If we simply define them as internal or external evils, when formulating a treatment plan, we will face at least twice the resistance pressure. In the end, medical resources, the patient's immunity, and vital energy... will gradually be depleted, and the person will die! Conversely, if we simply classify them as 'positive yang' and adopt all new thinking, the result will only be to continuously promote the yin evil energy in other meridians in the patient's body, thereby causing more serious cold coagulation syndrome, turning a deaf person into a mute! The patient will ultimately not get better. The balance between 'good' and 'evil' can only be dynamically assessed and treated to achieve a certain therapeutic effect! Lord Wei demonstrated this extremely well, and it's easy to understand him as an example." Bian Mu explained for a long time with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Dian Shuhua seemed to grasp the meaning slightly, her jaw twitching as if she agreed. Dr. Gong, however, didn't understand at all. She first glanced at Dian Shuhua, then stared at Bian Mu with wide eyes, before gently shaking her head.

"In other words, we need to get rid of that Lord Wei in the first few chapters of the novel! Aunt Xue's illness will be more than half cured, and the remaining seasoning matters will be much easier to handle. We won't even need to interfere. Just prescribe some medicine, take her back and recuperate properly, and have her check-ups from time to time." Bian Mu continued to give an analogy with a smile.

"That Lord Wei started to rise to prominence thanks to the misleading influence of a gangster. Without that connection, he would have just spent his life as a street urchin in YZ. Boss, do you mean... we need to find a similar cause of illness in Aunt Xue's meridians to that gangster? And, that lesion is currently showing more righteous than evil signs? As long as we open a breach there and completely cure that overlooked lesion, Aunt Xue will naturally be half cured? Is that a fair understanding?" Dian Shuhua replied very fluently, as if he had been thinking about it for some time beforehand.

Dr. Gong was increasingly at a loss, but unfortunately, he was usually too focused on pediatric medicine and his knowledge of cancer treatment was limited to general science popularization. At this moment, he could only worry anxiously and couldn't get a word in edgewise.

"That's roughly the idea. Looking at Aunt Xue's pulse, the primary lesion of her nasal problem is in her lungs, specifically her left lung. However, looking at various medical reports and pulse examinations, while there are some issues with her lung qi, it's not serious enough to warrant drastic measures. By the way, have you read those old classic medical books... the *Yangming Jing* and the *Yinfu Jing*, which have completely contradictory medical theories? The *Yangming Jing* has 11 volumes, and the other set has 7 volumes in total. The *Yinfu Jing* is the main text, and the *Yangming Jing* is essentially its commentary, like a teaching reference!" Bian Mu asked with a smile at the end of the explanation.

Dian Shuhua and Dr. Gong shook their heads slightly in unison.

“I’ll have a friend print two sets later. Take them back and look them over. This set of old medical texts mentions something like this: ordinary doctors are used to a face-to-face observation when examining problems with the lung meridian. For example, Western medicine looks at chest X-rays. Since X-rays pass through the chest from any direction, you generally can’t see any special medical images on the front and back of the film. But our traditional Chinese medicine is completely different. A frontal observation is the front pulse image, and a reverse observation can quickly reveal the reverse pulse image. By comparing the two distinct pulse images together, you can basically get half the answer.” As he spoke, Bian Mu compared his left hand to the front of the chest X-ray, and his right hand to the back of the chest X-ray. He then compared the front of his hands together, palm to back of hand, and back of hand to back of hand.

"Huh?! So... pulse taking can be done like this?! A comprehensive, three-dimensional, cross-sectional pulse diagnosis?! That's truly amazing! If you hadn't demonstrated it for me, boss, I would never have figured it out in my entire life. This is just too much... Does it mean... when we usually treat patients, we only look at a few aspects?! That's terrifying!" Dr. Gong was stunned.

Dian Shuhua had a rough idea, but when he saw Bian Mu repeatedly gesture his palms as if they were the front and back of a human body, his mind suddenly exploded with inspiration!
Traditional Chinese medicine is incredibly powerful?!
"Mind-blowing" doesn't even begin to describe it!

“If we directly confront the so-called cancer cells, even if the three of us do nothing but take turns caring for Aunt Xue and meticulously treating her, we probably won’t achieve much of a satisfactory result. However, if we avoid the direct confrontation, go around to her back, and follow the path of the Yin Fu Jing, we can take down that gangster in one fell swoop and clear all those abnormal pulses on Aunt Xue’s back. At least, those tumors in her nasal cavity can definitely be completely removed, and they will even heal themselves by falling off naturally! The treatment cost is quite low! For self-protection, this conversation can only be kept secret for a while. For now, it’s just something we three keep in mind!” Bian Mu’s expression became somewhat serious as he finished speaking.
