Chapter 2468 Three Major Projects in Life

As Bian Mu's clinical experience grew, he further realized that the core of traditional Chinese medicine treatment truly lies in "treating" the person! Developing each treatment plan closely aligns with each patient's lifestyle, a process akin to peeling back layers of an onion. The mental effort required is merely the least significant cost; the greatest challenge lies in identifying X crucial medical logical points between the medical and lifestyle levels. The more severe the condition, the larger the value of X; conversely, the milder the condition, the relatively larger the value of X.

When encountering special patients, the value of X is often unique. Bian Mu can output it directly, and with the patient and family's full cooperation, the condition can be brought under control immediately. With the addition of some good medicine, the patient will recover quickly!
This is a major reason why Bian Mu is known as a miraculous doctor, a gentlemanly doctor, a divine doctor, and so on.

This set of theories was basically summarized by Bian Mu through long-term clinical practice. Afterwards, he repeatedly deliberated and refined the theories and classics of past dynasties, and then abstracted and elevated them to the level of a completely new TCM concept. It was not learned from any famous teacher, nor was it seen from any strange book. It was all "enlightenment"! The real things that he gradually realized through repeated medical practice!
Today, we must follow this approach to treat Mr. Bai's emotional disorder.

First, Bian Mu should make full use of his limited resources to create a minimum acceptable humanistic environment for Mr. Bai to take the medicine, ensuring its efficacy and effectiveness. In Bian Mu's view, this is itself a medicine, a medicine of humanistic care.

This is also one of the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine treatment, which emphasizes the patient's condition over the medication.

After the pleasantries, let's get down to business.

“Mr. Bai! Your brother is already so old, and he has two children. Normally, you don’t have any responsibility or obligation to help him. Between brothers, each of you is responsible for your own life after starting your own family. There’s nothing to say about it! If you’re doing well, that’s your ability; if you’re not, that’s your fate! However, your brother’s condition is quite special right now. Since Director Cheng has come to you, and you’ve still come, at least the natural bond between you brothers is still there! There are some things you really have to take responsibility for! Is there any problem with that?” Bian Mu first laid the groundwork with a serious expression.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Bai's elder brother immediately put on a rather troubled and hesitant expression.

"No way... Director Cheng said he was just here to witness something, how did this get involved... No... For decades, my brothers and I have been useless, we've never made anything of ourselves, barely managed to start our own families. Honestly, who can really interfere in someone else's business?! It's not that we don't want to, it's just that we don't have the ability! Besides, I'm just an ordinary chef, I have no money, no connections, tell me! What am I supposed to do!" As he spoke, Mr. Bai's older brother became somewhat agitated.

"Hehe... I don't need you to spend any money! I don't need you to exert any effort! And I don't need you to provide daily care. I won't make any demands on you what ordinary people should do." With a smile, Bian Mu first reassured Mr. Bai's older brother.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Bai's elder brother glanced at Director Cheng, his expression showing a hint of doubt. He probably didn't want to take on such a trivial matter and didn't understand what the young male doctor was trying to say, so he remained silent.

"Mr. Bai! For a normal person to settle down, start a family, and live a normal life in the city, generally speaking, they need to successfully complete at least three major life projects. First, they must do a good job in 'career development,' otherwise, where will they get their living expenses?! Some people have better family backgrounds and may get married first, followed by 'marriage development,' and then focus on 'career development.' If the two are well coordinated, the third project may be completed naturally and unconsciously. We in the 'Digital Medicine' school call it 'psychological development.' Your brother is not very lucky; he has to rely on himself for all three major life projects, but unfortunately..." For various reasons, his 'psychological preparation' has always been lacking. In other words, your younger brother is not very qualified in this aspect. The reasons are multifaceted, and we won't discuss them in detail today. Unfortunately, at present, these three aspects of his mental preparation have essentially collapsed! As a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, I can only do my best to help him repair this aspect. During this period, he will need to take various Chinese medicines, some tangible and some intangible. This is also where our school of medicine differs from other practitioners. We will discuss this further in the future!

"You're speaking in such profound terms... My education is limited, so I don't quite understand. But... I can tell you're doing this for my brother's sake, and maybe it's just my older brother's intuition, but you should have the ability! Anyway, seeing my brother get to this point... I feel quite incompetent. On behalf of my parents, thank you! At least you're willing to get involved. We all know... For ordinary people like us, once we contract this disease, it's very difficult to cure. I'm not saying this to be heartless, it's just the truth! In other words, if I were the one who got the disease, not Xiaohui, I suppose Xiaohui wouldn't be able to help either. To be honest, I wouldn't blame him... It's just that we're not capable! Xiaohui at least went to university, and a pretty good one at that... Doctor, can you be more specific? As long as it's within my power, I'll do my best!" Mr. Bai's older brother's last two sentences sounded somewhat sincere. After all, they were siblings from the same mother, and the bond of blood ties hadn't been completely severed.

"Here's the thing. Based on your brother's pulse, I can basically conclude that your sister-in-law wasn't treating Mr. Bai well before he fell ill. As for the very professional pulse diagnosis analysis, I won't go into details here." As he spoke, Bian Mu glanced at Director Cheng and Lei Xueming.

"I definitely trust your medical skills. Besides, even if you explain it to me many times from beginning to end, I still won't understand!" Director Cheng quickly stated.

"Dr. Bian's academic standing, professional reputation, and clinical skills in the local TCM community... I believe everyone is aware of them, they are evident to all, and there is no doubt about them! As for me, I also have some status! Here, I hereby formally guarantee the truthfulness and validity of Dr. Bian's conclusions! Furthermore, I am willing to bear the corresponding responsibilities for today's guarantee, including related legal responsibilities!" Wow! Lei Xueming immediately stood on Bian Mu's side without any hesitation, directly using his personal credibility to provide Bian Mu with very strong testimony.

“On the way here, my wife reminded me on the phone that Dr. Bian is one of the top doctors in the city, and I can definitely trust him…” Mr. Bai’s older brother added.

Thankfully, a basic consensus has been reached.
