Come on, Dr. Wu

Chapter 454: Medicine Without Borders

After hearing what Wu Xiaofu said, the two foreign doctors were a little disappointed, but they became happy again when they heard that they could go to the hepatobiliary surgery department to find Wu Xiaofu.

"Okay, Mr. Wu, we will definitely go."

Doctors from abroad are indeed much more honest. Not long after Wu Xiaofu returned to the department, they caught up with him.

At this time, Wu Xiaofu was still making rounds. After returning from vacation, the patients in the department had been replaced. If Wu Xiaofu wanted to start his work, he must first have a clear idea of ​​what was going on.

This time, Wu Xiaofu's contribution in the prevention and treatment of the Ebola virus was not small, which attracted more patients to come to Wu Xiaofu. However, what made Wu Xiaofu helpless was that during the ward rounds, some of these patients actually asked Wu Xiaofu to prescribe Chinese medicine and use traditional Chinese medicine to help them. It would be best if they could save the surgery.

Wu Xiaofu also understands the patients' feelings. If surgery can be avoided, who would be willing to undergo it?

Just thinking about getting a stab wound hurts. Even with anesthesia, what about after the surgery? Won't it still hurt? And the fear of surgery is almost innate to people. Compared with these fears and pains, the bitterness of Chinese medicine is nothing.

However, just as Director Liu thought, specific treatments should be given to specific diseases, and prescriptions should be tailored to the specific disease, which all require comprehensive evaluation.

"In fact, learning Chinese medicine also requires methods and techniques. I can share with you the methods I used when learning Chinese medicine, which may be helpful to you. You can listen to it.

I taught myself Chinese medicine at that time, by reading books and watching videos. Pulse diagnosis in Chinese medicine is the basis and the key. Although the pulse patterns in Chinese medicine are complicated, when put together, there are still traces to follow. So I started to try it on my own patients, taking the pulse to diagnose the disease, and then waited for the test results to come out and confirm something.

In this way, after a long time, you will naturally gain something and gain a lot of experience.

As the judgment becomes more and more accurate, the confidence is established, and I can even try to use medicine. Our medical care is developing very fast now, and various examinations basically will not miss any disease. Maybe you can try my method. "

Only then did Wu Xiaofu know the names of the two foreign doctors. Both of them were from West Africa. One was called Mane and the other was called Rafi. They were both doctors who had been working in medicine for less than two years. Because they had lived in an area where the Ebola virus was rampant since childhood, they hated the Ebola virus very much.

Especially after witnessing their relatives, friends, etc. losing their lives due to the Ebola virus, they were even more determined to study medicine when they grew up and eliminate the Ebola virus. They did so and after graduation, they directly devoted themselves to medical work in their hometown. However, the results were not satisfactory. The power of the Ebola virus made people somewhat despair.

Not long ago, a large-scale Ebola virus outbreak occurred in three countries, including theirs. More than a thousand people were infected, and most of the patients lost their lives. There were many reasons for this, including inadequate medical standards, poor awareness of prevention and control, and so on.

But there is one thing that cannot be ignored no matter what, that is, the Ebola virus is too powerful and they have no effective treatment at all.

It is precisely because these foreign doctors know how powerful the Ebola virus is that they scoff at China's effective plan to prevent and control the Ebola virus. However, after seeing China's results, they are ecstatic and feel that they have found hope, so they gather here.

That's right, they came here to learn Chinese medicine. They also knew how to treat symptoms, as that was what they learned at school. However, Chinese medicine was profound and it was not something they could learn easily. So they all came to China to become disciples. However, after arriving in China, they discovered that learning Chinese medicine was more difficult than they had imagined.

Not only do they not know Chinese, but the knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine that is put together is even more difficult to recognize.

During this period, even though they worked very hard, they basically didn't learn even the basics.

They strongly recommend that domestic medical schools invite some Chinese medicine practitioners to give lectures. However, they are not sure whether they can get such experts. Even if they can, they cannot wait. Who knows when the next Ebola virus outbreak will occur? That is why many countries want to invite Chinese experts to provide guidance.

After hearing Wu Xiaofu's words, Mane and Rafi's eyes lit up.

They also felt that they should not be too ambitious, so they just needed to learn how to take a pulse first. However, the most difficult thing about taking a pulse is that they don't even know whether the diagnosis is correct or not. Now, after listening to Wu Xiaofu's words, they suddenly realized. Yes, there are Western medical examinations, and they can tell whether it is correct or not by comparing them.

Thinking of this, they became excited and couldn't wait to follow this method.

As expected, I still have to learn from Wu Xiaofu.

After get off work, Wu Xiaofu went straight to Director Liu's home. Although he had not asked Director Liu where he lived before, Wu Xiaofu still called Director Liu and asked for the address before going there. The address was in the hospital's family building, and it was Director Liu's wife who came out to pick up Wu Xiaofu.

"Why are you still taking things? No, you know my rules, you have to take them with you when you leave."

After seeing Wu Xiaofu taking several boxes, Director Liu said with a stern face, "Looking closely, Director Liu's face was indeed pale, and it was obvious that his vitality had not yet recovered. However, walking was no problem at all. It seemed that he had recovered well after a few days of rest."

"Teacher Liu, this is a thank-you gift, are you really not going to accept it? You know I just got married, and when I went out to play, I was going to buy some local specialties. But my wife told me that you have taught me so many Chinese medicine skills, some of which are secrets. You are my teacher, and it would be too unreasonable if I don't buy you a gift.

I thought I was so ignorant at the time, so I bought you two more because I was afraid you would think I didn’t value you enough. They are both useful and not expensive. They are my token of my love. Are you really not going to accept them?”

Thank you gift to the teacher!
When Director Liu heard this, the corners of his mouth curved up immediately. "It's already been delivered. It's very heavy, so don't carry it with you. I have a few bottles of good wine and some good tea here. I don't need them myself. You can take them with you when you leave."

As he was about to take the gift, Wu Xiaofu quickly put it aside. He didn't dare let him pick it up. If he exerted any effort, his blood pressure would rise again and that would be bad.

"Xiao Fu, the old man has been talking about you a lot since he came back. My ears are almost callused from hearing him. He has so many students, but I have never heard him praise anyone like this. He has never even praised his own children.

I was also very curious, what kind of student could make him so happy? Now that I see him, well, I still didn't praise him enough. This physique is really good. You are married, where is your wife? Why didn't you bring her here? "The old lady arranged Wu Xiaofu on the sofa and said with a smile, her face full of love, obviously she loves him so much. Before she retired, the old lady was a university professor, teaching history. With Director Liu's help in recuperation, her health is much better than Director Liu's, and she is also very talkative. Sitting on the sofa, Director Liu couldn't get a word in.

In the end, Director Liu was so anxious, "What are you doing? Xiaofu is here, you should prepare some food. No matter how much you like him, he is not your child. Go quickly, let me chat with Xiaofu."

The old lady also laughed, "See, you're still anxious, haha, Xiaofu, sit down, I'll make dinner for you, and we'll eat here tonight."

It can be seen that although Director Liu is in poor health, he is in a very good mood. Nowadays, Chinese medicine is known to the world, and many countries are competing to learn it. Many countries have suggested incorporating Chinese medicine into medical school textbooks and courses. This will fulfill Director Liu's wish to promote Chinese medicine. Seeing Chinese medicine getting better and better, how can Director Liu not be happy.

In his heart, he was somewhat grateful to Wu Xiaofu. If Wu Xiaofu had not pulled him into the prevention and treatment team, if Wu Xiaofu had not proposed this prevention and treatment plan, there would probably be no development of traditional Chinese medicine today.

In Director Liu's eyes, Wu Xiaofu is a genius and the future of Chinese medicine, so he teaches him everything he knows. In his eyes, Wu Xiaofu is like his own child.

However, the two of them did not have a master-disciple relationship, which made Director Liu feel a little regretful.

Now that Wu Xiaofu has come with a thank-you gift, doesn't that mean he acknowledges Wu Xiaofu as his teacher? In this way, all the rules of not accepting gifts can be broken. He is so happy.

Director Liu also told Wu Xiaofu that once he gets better, he should go to countries where the Ebola virus is raging to prevent and control the virus, and to thoroughly promote traditional Chinese medicine abroad.

The old lady who happened to be walking out was suddenly filled with worry when she heard this. She just opened her mouth but didn't say anything. The old lady knew that this was her husband's lifelong wish and she couldn't stop him.

Wu Xiaofu felt helpless when he saw Director Liu like this. He was over 70 years old and was going abroad again. Who wouldn't be worried?

After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, he finally spoke.

"Teacher Liu, please don't be offended by what I have to say. You are already over 70 years old. It is really not suitable for you to go abroad. If you go, neither we nor your family will be at ease."

"Xiao Fu, this is what I want in my life. Even if I die abroad, I will die without regrets. Don't try to persuade me."

The old man was still quite stubborn, and Wu Xiaofu was amused. "You are a little selfish. You have done all the work of us young people. What do we young people do? You are already retired, so you can't compete with us young people for work. Otherwise, how can we make progress and improve ourselves?"

Ah!
Director Liu looked at Wu Xiaofu, "Xiaofu, what do you mean?"

"Isn't it just to provide guidance on Ebola prevention and treatment abroad? I'm not bragging. I'm not as good as you in terms of Chinese medicine, but when it comes to preventing and treating the Ebola virus, I don't think I'm much worse than you. So, let me do this."

This!
After Wu Xiaofu said this, Director Liu hesitated. "Xiaofu, I have heard that you rejected Dean Rong. I also think it is not appropriate for you to go. After all, it is too dangerous abroad. I don't have many years to live. Life or death doesn't matter to me. But you are the future of our country's medicine. You should not take risks. To be honest, I don't agree with this.

Besides, I can see that you are going to go for me. If that is the case, I cannot let you go."

He shook his head and said, "Teacher Liu, this is not just for you. We medical students have the mission of curing diseases and saving lives. I don't know if you know my grandfather, but he is an old party member. He often said that there is a country before there is a family. This matter can be regarded as promoting the culture of a great country and enhancing the medical influence of our country.

As a young person of today, if this can make some contribution to the development of traditional Chinese medicine, I will feel proud of myself. I didn’t think so much about it before, but now I think about it carefully, I should still take this trip. Whether it is for the hospital, the country, or me, it is an opportunity to learn and grow.

What's more, medicine should not have national boundaries. People used to say this, but everyone sneered at it. Now I think, maybe I can start by putting this into practice."

This is Wu Xiaofu's true feelings. He used to scoff at the saying that medicine has no borders, but isn't he just an exception?
Wu Xiaofu now holds an international medical qualification certificate.

"Xiao Fu, I was right about you. Okay, the teacher will go with you."

Wu Xiaofu hurriedly poured a cup of tea for Director Liu. Seeing Director Liu looking very pleased, he dared not let him go with him. "Director Liu, you are a valuable asset of Chinese medicine. Fighting in the front line is not suitable for you. You should stay in the rear and train more Chinese medicine experts for our country. Don't worry, I will do my best to handle the overseas affairs."

The old lady also sat down at this time, "Xiao Fu, your teacher is right, you are still young, that place is not peaceful, not only the virus, but also other things. I have made up my mind to go with your teacher. We are both at this age. If we can still do something for the country, it won’t be a regret. You are different. Grandma can see that you will definitely be more promising than your teacher Liu in the future."

Listening to the old lady's words, Wu Xiaofu was even more moved. The two of them really cared about him and loved him. But precisely because of this, he couldn't let them go through this trouble.

"Master's wife, please don't fight with me about this matter. I am young and strong, how can I be in danger? This matter is settled. At worst, when the teacher's health is really better, I will ask the teacher to come and help. But don't fight with me for the first charge."

After leaving Director Liu's house, Wu Xiaofu felt relieved. It's just that quick how quickly a person can change his mind.

Rong Qiao had just refused in the morning, but Wu Xiaofu called him again in the evening. Rong Qiao looked at Wu Xiaofu who suddenly changed his mind, and instead of feeling relieved, he became even more worried. "Xiaofu, I just asked for your opinion this morning, but then I thought about it and it was indeed inappropriate. Overseas is different from domestic. I think it would be better to send someone else."

Wu Xiaofu was even more helpless at this time. He was about to leave, but a bunch of people advised him not to. However, he felt warm in his heart, because everyone cared about him. (End of this chapter)
