Siheyuan: The prosperous era starting from being a doctor

Chapter 432 Eye Exercises and a Merit

Cataract extraction with needle.

This is a treatment method that Wang Mengde recently figured out on his own.

past life.

When most people have cataracts, the only treatment they think of is surgery, which is Western medicine.

In fact, traditional Chinese medicine can also treat cataracts.

only.

Treatment is only suitable for patients with mild symptoms who do not meet the criteria for surgery.

Most Chinese medicine doctors are not able to treat slightly more serious symptoms.

This of course also includes Wang Mengde.

Because his knowledge of ophthalmology is not as good as that of internal medicine, dermatology, acupuncture, massage, and bone setting.

A few days ago, he was practicing acupuncture techniques while lying in bed at night and using the space.

Suddenly, he subconsciously let the space simulate the symptoms of a cataract patient, and then used a silver needle to try to pick open the lens in the patient's eyeball.

At the beginning.

As expected, it failed dozens of times in a row.

He became more and more courageous as the battle went on, and devoted himself to research and experiments.

at last.

On the third day of trying, I succeeded once.

The system determined that he cured the patient's cataracts with silver needles.

Once there is a first time, there will naturally be a second time.

Gradually, his success rate became higher and higher. Within a few days, he could succeed at least nine times out of ten.

He was confident that in ten days or so, once he had thoroughly mastered the skills, his success rate would be infinitely close to 100%.

and.

He can also organize these into theoretical knowledge so that more acupuncture masters can learn and then master the methods and means of treating cataracts.

"Meng De, have you mastered the method of using silver needles to treat cataracts?"

Mr. Pu was originally sitting on a chair, but when he heard his words, he stood up in surprise.

At the same time, he looked at Wang Mengde with anticipation.

I hope to get good news from him.

"Sir, I have been thinking about it for a while, and now I am only 90% sure. I think it will take a few more days to be absolutely sure."

Wang Mengde did not hide anything and spoke directly.

In front of the teacher, he basically did not hide anything except the space and the system.

It can be said that the two people prosper together and suffer together.

To outsiders, they are one.

"Very good.

I recently worked with Li Xiang and a few others on research for a long time, and we developed an eye drops.

I have also wondered whether cataracts can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine.

But I have no clue. Surgery is also the weak point of Chinese medicine. There is no good way to treat this kind of disease."

Pu Lao said with emotion.

He looked at his most proud disciple in front of him and was filled with joy.

Every time he thought of Wang Mengde's achievements, he secretly rejoiced that the disciple he had unintentionally accepted in his momentary joy had actually grown to such a level.

Every time he woke up from his sleep, he often felt unreal.

Fortunately, when I woke up, I realized that this was not a dream, but a real thing.

Next.

Wang Mengde told Pu Lao all the theories he had figured out.

He not only uses silver needles to directly pick the lens in the patient's eyeball, but also uses a lot of other silver needles to assist in piercing the acupuncture points around the eyes.

In this way, the two-pronged approach can achieve more obvious treatment effects.

As a famous Chinese medicine expert, Pu Lao’s acupuncture skills are not bad.

On the contrary, his acupuncture skills are among the best in the country.

He is also one of the most famous people in the Chinese Medical Research Institute.

Of course, compared with Wang Mengde, he is far behind.

He listened carefully to his disciple's explanation and did not feel embarrassed.

After listening to it, he thought about it, then slapped his thigh and said excitedly:

"Meng De, although you haven't put this into practice, it is theoretically feasible. Once you have thoroughly perfected it, you can try to find a few patients to treat it and see the effect.

I think it should be fine, the chances of success are very high.”

According to his point of view, using a needle to remove cataracts may actually change the monopoly of Western medicine in treatment.

Mr. Pu is a man of rich experience. He compared Wang Mengde's theory with what he had learned and put forward many valuable opinions and suggestions.

The two people started a heated discussion directly in the office.

If Zhang Qiaoyu hadn't come in, they might have continued the discussion.

"Teacher, senior brother, it's time for lunch."

"Oh, it's already past twelve o'clock, no wonder I feel hungry.

Meng De, we can talk later when we have time. Let’s go eat first. I heard that the cafeteria steamed elm seed buns for lunch today.”

Mr. Pu took out a pocket watch, checked the time, and then realized that time had passed too quickly.

"Sir, let's go to the cafeteria to eat together."

Wang Mengde stood up and said.

Whether in the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine or Guang'anmen Hospital, the cafeteria is divided into two parts.

In addition to the staff canteen, there is also a small canteen reserved for leaders to eat.

of course.

The food inside is actually the same as that in the staff canteen outside, there is nothing special about it.

It's just that the privacy is better and the space is relatively spacious.

"Okay, let's go eat together, so we can talk while we eat."

Mr. Pu was in high spirits and if it wasn't noon, he would have wanted to pull Wang Mengde aside to chat for a while longer.

It just so happened that Wang Mengde wanted to have dinner with him, which fulfilled his wish.

In the small cafeteria.

Found a place where no one was.

Both of them took the elm seed steamed buns.

We continued chatting while eating.

“Meng De, I think your theory on acupuncture for treating eye diseases can be enriched slowly in the future.

To be honest, many eye diseases can be treated with your theory.

If it can be combined with medication, it might be able to achieve miraculous results."

Pu Lao took a bite of the dish and then suggested.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the theory Wang Mengde had just mentioned had a lot of room for development.

It just so happened that he also had in-depth research in ophthalmology, so he was excited to see the opportunity and wanted to join forces with his disciple again.

He is already over eighty years old.

I really can’t say how many days are left. It can be said that every day we live is one less day.

If I could produce some significant results in my last days, I would have no regrets.

“Sir, you are right, I will perfect the theory and practice of treating cataracts first, and then continue my research.

We will try to achieve some major results in one or two years, so that some eye diseases can be cured.”

Wang Mengde thought about it for a moment, then agreed with a smile.

Even if Mr. Pu didn't say anything, he planned to do more research later.

And for this year's paper assignment, he plans to publish his ophthalmology research.

For him, it is not difficult to produce results, write papers and publish them in top international journals. He only needs to concentrate on research for a period of time.

"Well, if you need anything later, you can always come to me.

I have some knowledge of ophthalmology and may be able to help you."

Pu Lao nodded and said, he wanted to use his last bit of strength to help this disciple.

"Sir, I need your help right now.

As you know, I usually have a lot of things to do and I am very busy, so I don’t have enough time.

I have many ideas but no time to put them into practice. I would like to ask you and a few of my junior colleagues to help me with some research after work."

Wang Mengde asked first.

What Mr. Pu just said coincides with his thoughts.

As a person from later generations, how could he forget how many teenagers wear glasses.

This is more than 300 million, and the problem is very serious.

There are about 6 million myopic patients in the country, of which more than 50%, or about 3.2 million, are young people, and this number ranks first in the world.

And the problem is that the age of the children is very serious.

The myopia rate among 6-year-old children in kindergarten has reached 14.3%, and the proportion of high myopia (≥600 degrees) increases rapidly with the increase of grade, reaching 17.6% in high school.

of course.

The main reason for this problem is the influence of electronic products and the lack of outdoor activities.

Coupled with the heavy academic workload, most people in a class wear glasses, and the thickness of the lenses is getting higher and higher.

In fact, this trend has already appeared in this era.

Back in the early sixties.

The capital city conducted a vision survey among all primary and secondary school students in the city.

The results show that.

The myopia rate among primary and secondary school students has increased significantly with age.

The myopia rate among primary school students is close to 10%, among junior high school students it is 20%, and among high school students it has reached 30%.

This set of survey figures made many leaders at the time realize that protecting young people's eyesight had become a top priority.

then.

The leaders of the education-related departments handed over the important task of finding solutions to the problem to the Security Department.

At that time, there were only three teachers in the Security Department.

There is actually only one teacher in charge of student health.

The teacher discussed with the two teachers in charge of the city's student epidemic prevention work and decided to form a "collaboration group" on their own.

Finally, I learned eye exercises from a director of the Beijing Medical College.

In 63, the first set of eight eye exercises was piloted in some primary and secondary schools in Beijing.

It even made it to the China Daily.

Wang Mengde also noticed this matter at that time.

He was very familiar with the acupuncture points on the human body, so of course he could tell at a glance that this set of eye exercises was a massage method based on some massage and meridian theories of Chinese traditional medicine.

By massaging the acupoints around the eyes, the blood and qi in the eyes can flow smoothly and nerve nutrition can be improved.

It does have a certain effect in improving eyestrain and preventing eye diseases such as myopia.

but.

The effect is not very big.

At that time, he also wanted to improve the eye exercises, but he had a lot of things to do and he didn't have a deep understanding of ophthalmology, so he kept delaying it.

The main thing is that in the following years, the situation has changed, and many people have begun to question eye exercises.

In this case, eye exercises will fail halfway.

Naturally, Wang Mengde no longer paid attention to this matter.

Now, Pu Lao and several of his junior fellow students continue to concentrate on studying some ophthalmic treatment methods.
In addition, he has learned and understood a lot of ophthalmological knowledge from time to time over the years.

The time is ripe.

"Meng De, if you need me to do anything, just tell me.

Anyway, I have resigned from my position as Vice President now, so I have plenty of time."

When Master Pu heard that his disciple needed his help, he immediately became interested.

You need to take care of yourself.

"Sir, this is what I am planning to do. I plan to improve eye exercises to help young people across the country prevent myopia and other eye diseases."

Wang Mengde directly expressed his thoughts.

Based on his understanding of the human body's acupuncture points and meridians, the eye exercises he improved would definitely be much more effective than the ones in his previous life.

He already has a draft in his mind.

At the same time, an estimate was also made.

As long as it is promoted in primary and secondary schools across the country and students insist on doing exercises every day, at least half of the students will not suffer from myopia.

and.

Even for teenagers who already have myopia problems, persistent exercises can control the progression of myopia.

There may even be a reversal.

later generations.

Many hospitals claim that myopia is irreversible, and if myopia occurs, treatment or wearing glasses is needed.

In fact, this kind of public opinion is completely manipulated by some interest groups.

In fact, in Wang Mengde's opinion, the problem of myopia can be cured slowly.

“This is a good thing.

In recent years, more and more children who come to me for treatment have myopia problems.

If prevention can be carried out in the early stages, it is indeed a feasible solution.

With your knowledge of acupuncture points and meridians, combined with your unique massage techniques, you can definitely improve eye exercises very well.”

Pu Lao said with conviction.

He knew this disciple's medical skills too well.

Especially the superb acupuncture, massage and Tui Na techniques.

He often sighed that there are indeed extraordinary geniuses in the world who walk paths that others cannot discover.

After dinner.

The two men did not get up and go back immediately, but instead briefly discussed the details in the small cafeteria.

Wang Mengde and Pu Lao worked together to improve eye exercises.

Simultaneously.

In the future, we will continue to study treatment methods for eye diseases, especially myopia.

The research direction mainly focuses on the combined treatment of acupuncture and drugs to stabilize the condition, supplemented by other relief methods such as massage and eye exercises.

Come out of the cafeteria.

Wang Mengde thought as he walked.

He really doesn't want to see so many children wearing glasses in the future.

a few days later.

Wang Mengde received a call from Mr. Nie.

"Comrade Wang Mengde, I have good news for you.

We took our generic diethylcarbamazine with meals as you suggested.

The results of the clinical trials are very good. Dozens of critically ill patients who received treatment have shown great improvement, and some have already recovered and been discharged from the hospital.”

On the phone, Mr. Nie said excitedly.

Now, he can finally put his mind at ease.

After several years of unremitting efforts, a great thing was finally accomplished.

With the availability of generic effective drugs, the lives of more than 30 million people across the country who are threatened by filariasis can be guaranteed.

"Congratulations, Mr. Nie. You and your team have accomplished a remarkable achievement."

Wang Mengde congratulated from the bottom of his heart.

He did play a decisive role in the process, and Mr. Nie and his team also put in countless hard work.

"Hahaha, Comrade Wang Mengde, you also have a share of the credit here.

I have already reported this to the institute's leaders, and I will report this to my superiors tomorrow. Don't worry, we will report the situation truthfully."

Mr. Nie assured.
