NBA: The best team doctor in history

Chapter 140: How Asian athletes can study abroad: From the perspective of sports medicine

Wang Zhizhi's injection of blockade sent the men's basketball team to the quarterfinals.

On the track and field field, Liu Xiang, who was rumored to have used a blocking needle to treat his ankle, also successfully passed the first round of the group stage.

The third place in the group advanced.

"It's OK. It seems that I have really got the injection. This way, I don't need to rush to the first hurdle in the 7 steps."

Jiang Ming was somewhat horrified watching from the audience because he saw Liu Xiang stomping his feet on the ground and stretching on the starting block before going on stage.

What do these actions prove?
Proof that he must be feeling discomfort in his ankle.

He would never do this if he didn't feel uncomfortable, and after the race he was gritting his teeth, looking a little painful?
"This guy is also playing with an injury."

However, Jiang Ming did not ask too much. Liu Xiang’s medical team is completely different from those of football and basketball. He has a private medical team, and because his event has the hope of defending the gold medal, the equipment given to him by the country is equivalent to that of a team!

He also saw that after Liu Xiang finished the interview with CCTV, a foreign doctor took out an ice pack and put it on him.

So it would be nosy for him to ask, as the patient is already being cared for by a private doctor.

Fang Xiaotong:
"I've always heard that Liu Xiang, the Athens Olympic champion, was under so much pressure to win the Olympics this time that he often had to take injections to barely play. Judging from his condition, I think he really took injections."

"Well, there's nothing I can do about it. I can rely on my teammates in basketball, but I have to rely on myself in track and field events."

This type of situation requires long-term physical therapy and rehabilitation, so even if Jiang Ming wants to help now, it will be a long-term treatment process.

If he wants to continue in the semi-finals and finals, he will probably have to take injections.

As for the sequelae?
I guess Liu Xiang hasn't thought too much about it anymore. It's a battle at home and he has to win no matter how hard he tries.

After Liu Xiang, Jiang Ming saw a Chinese track and field boy who caught his eye. He was probably only in his teens. His name was Su Bingtian. He stood out among the crowd of 100-meter sprinters.

Because he was the only yellow man, many audience members paid attention to him.

Although he was eliminated in the first round, he was ranked first in the first 20 meters, which made Jiang Ming almost jump up.

But the follow-up was obviously not good, the big black guys were very persistent and fierce, but Jiang Ming thought that since he could be so fast in the first 20 meters, he could catch up in the later parts as well, right?

Moreover, this muscular guy is not prone to injury and may really become a future Chinese track and field star.

After watching the track and field match, Jiang Ming went to Wukesong to watch the women's basketball quarter-finals.
This is interesting.

Chinese team VS Australian women's basketball team, a showdown between two "rivals".

And with the results of Group B of the men's basketball team coming out, the Chinese men's basketball team will also play against Australia, the third-placed team in Group B, in the quarter-finals, so both the men's and women's basketball teams will have trouble with Australia.

Because Yao Ming had to prepare for the semi-finals, only Zhang Mingji and Yao Ming's family were there to watch Ye Li's game. As a result, Yao Ming's fanatical female fan Lauren Jackson really beat Ye Li to a pulp, and it was a beating that was visible to the naked eye.

The two are not in the same weight class at all, and Lauren Jackson's playing style is similar to that of men's basketball, with all kinds of layups utilizing physical confrontations, which is unstoppable.

98:68
Women's basketball team suffered a crushing defeat!!! They were eliminated in the quarterfinals!
In the end, Lauren Jackson did not shake hands with Ye Li. This scene was so funny.

When Jiang Ming returned to the Olympic Village to eat, a women's football match was playing on the big screen.

The Chinese women's football team also played in the quarterfinals, but was easily eliminated by the Argentine women's football team 2:0 and also stopped in the quarterfinals.

The commentator also said that this time the women's football team is relying purely on spirit and energy, which is not acceptable. They may be able to qualify from the group stage, but it will be too difficult to move forward.

Because there are fewer women's football players studying abroad, they rarely keep up with the world and have little exposure, making it difficult for them to learn and grow.

This scene also prompted Jiang Ming to directly call Yu Jia, the sports reporter of CCTV-5.

Something had to change.

Although I am a doctor, I am even more of a sports fan!
Every bit of help counts.

Because Yu Jia invited him to participate in CCTV's live face-to-face Olympics program a few days ago, Jiang Ming refused because he was very busy. Now it seems that he really needs to use the CCTV platform to talk about the problems existing in the three major ball games.

Of course, the reason for using it is naturally related to one's own profession: How should the domestic sports rehabilitation department develop?
When Jiang Ming told Yu Jia about this topic, Yu Jia quickly agreed:
"No problem. I'll apply to the station and give you a reply right away. This will be a good thing for the entire sports medicine industry!"

"Yes, this industry is still too unpopular in the country."

"So we need people like you to promote education. I'll call the station director directly!"

Yu Jia can already imagine the ratings of tomorrow's live broadcast. There will be handsome doctors + NBA frontline workers + men's football and basketball frontline workers + torchbearers, as well as the topic of traditional Chinese medicine at that time + interesting things in the Olympic Village. There are so many interesting things to talk about!
The Master can know better:
"This is Dr. Jiang's first live TV seminar, right? I'll give you one hour to chat freely!"

"Thank you, Director!"

"We should be the ones thanking him! He is a top talent! It is our honor that he is willing to share himself with the people of the country! It is an honor for their industry!"

"The station master is right, I will reply to him like this!"

The next morning at 9 o'clock, the live broadcast of the "Olympic Online" program started on time.

And late last night it was announced that today’s live interactive guest would be Jiang Ming, a non-athlete from across the industry but team doctor closely related to the Olympics!
Although it is daytime, the ratings are far higher than those of other TV stations.

At the beginning, the topic was what Jiang Ming’s fans or people interested in the NBA and basketball wanted to hear.

For example, what is the working environment like in the NBA? Is the medical care in the United States really more professional than that in China?
And I was asked what the differences are between team doctors in football and basketball.

Jiang Ming answered them one by one, saying that basketball players' upper body is more prone to injury, while most football players' injuries are in the lower body.

During the commercial break, when Jiang Ming and Yu Jia went to the restroom together, Yu Jia suggested that he get straight to the point.

"Row!"

Jiang Ming's main purpose is what he is going to say later. The previous part is just to pave the way for everyone to come in and watch. It's okay to talk about some industry insider information, but when the ratings are about right, he has to "instill ideas".

So after the commercial, Yu Jia went straight to the point: "After this Olympic experience, what advice and opinions would you give to domestic team doctors and sports medicine professionals?"

Jiang Ming also looked directly at the camera and said:

“I think the most important thing is to give people normal doctor rights.
From my observations this week, our national team's team doctors are still restricted in many things they do.

For example, they don't allow prescription rights, and sometimes a shot of corticosteroid requires twenty minutes or half an hour of using meaningless ultrasonic shock waves.

Another thing is that you have to rely entirely on referrals. You are not allowed to have your own ideas and just have to cooperate completely with the orthopedic doctors in large hospitals. They don’t say you can’t do it. Maybe they won’t express their own opinions. It’s like I’m just here to help, but no one has ever refuted my opinions or had better treatment suggestions, etc.

I was actually looking forward to having an academic exchange in the actual practice, but unfortunately it never happened.

If when a major problem occurs, the team only wants to send the patient to a large hospital, and the follow-up is not related to the team doctor, then what is the point of the team medical team? ? Just spray Yunnan Baiyao spray?
This question really stupefied Yu Jia. It was a bold question, so he kept exchanging glances with the leaders behind the camera. Was it necessary to interrupt the live broadcast for a commercial?

Is it okay to directly criticize industry phenomena?
It's not over yet!

Before they could react, Jiang Ming told them about the fourth and fifth categories he had seen: the industry was mixed, and sports students could practice medicine as rehabilitation therapists from the National Health Commission. Because he had also asked several young people in the football and basketball team medical team, and found that it was really hard to describe.

This is probably why they cannot express their own opinions, because they are just half-baked!
However, he couldn't say much on the show, except to mention that the threshold for obtaining a license was too low.

Finally, Jiang Ming must talk about him. He discovered "two extremes"

The major of physical therapy in Europe and the United States has been developing for many years. Even if they have the answer, they will not copy it. Extreme 1: Create a major of rehabilitation therapy and sports rehabilitation, and a bunch of normal school students and sports students will study it. How can medical care develop?

At least it has to be a professional medical student like him who does it!

Extreme 2: In some hospitals, everything is done clinically, including the rehabilitation department and the nutrition department. Physical therapy and nutrition are completely useless.

Some practitioners told Jiang Ming that Western thinking is not good for the human body, which made Jiang Ming very confused. What industry are you in?
I am a authentic practitioner of 5,000-year-old traditional Chinese medicine. No matter what the thinking is, it is all for the good of the patients. Why do we create conflict every day?

At least at this stage, the commonly used Western physical therapy methods have all been tested, whether it is RCT or double-blind, the thinking is only different between academic and folk science, without any distinction between Chinese and Western.

Jiang Ming also mentioned that when he was a torchbearer, a doctor asked him whether it was more awesome to perform surgery with Western medicine:
"As a practitioner, I see that the so-called folk Chinese medicine thinking is affecting patients. For example, a physical therapist who returned from overseas had a conflict with an orthopedic surgeon.

The reason is that orthopedic doctors require rest, while physical therapy requires recovery as soon as possible to prevent loss of range of motion and restore function. From the perspective of modern rehabilitation, I only see the helplessness of physical therapists in China. They have no rights, so how can they develop? "

So in the end it comes down to the essence: decentralization!

No matter what, since you chose him as the team doctor, he must have the last word.

And the technical level and salary of team doctors will be improved accordingly, because they are the ones who know their athletes best.

"Well, we'll talk about this later. Let's talk about tonight's men's basketball quarterfinal against Australia!"

After receiving the leader's signal, Yu Jia quickly changed the topic. There was no way to discuss further when it came to salary increase. Moreover, they saw that Jiang Ming had almost finished talking, so they stopped him in time!

"The Chinese team will win!"

Now that everything has been said, Jiang Ming's answers to other topics are much simpler, mainly focusing on overseas athletes.

Highlight the advantages of Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, Dong Fangzhuo, Wang Chu and other athletes in overseas leagues!

So I gave myself a little "advertisement" in the end:
"I wrote a paper on how our athletes study abroad. You can check it out on CNKI. It's clearer than what I said today. Thank you for watching my first live TV broadcast. Baibai~"

One stone caused a thousand waves!

Jiang Ming's speech-like live broadcast caused a sensation during the daytime when fewer gold medals were produced.

The main thing is that this guy directly brought up two big topics!
One is the issue of team doctors practicing in the field of sports medicine!
One is the issue of athletes studying abroad.

The first is what professional doctors in this field are most concerned about, the second is what football fans want to hear the most, and the third is Dr. Jiang Ming’s appearance, which is what fan girls love to see the most.

This live broadcast has become the most watched live broadcast in recent times, except for the live broadcast of the table tennis team winning the championship.

"So handsome, my god, 360 degrees without blind spots!"

"To be honest, I am the kind of athlete who turned sports medicine team doctor that Dr. Jiang said. I agree with what Jiang Ming said."

"Although Dr. Jiang's words ruined many people's jobs, they are indeed true. Professional matters should be done by professionals. I also think it is better for surgeons who are trained in professional fields to learn sports rehabilitation, etc."

"Yes, even someone like Jiang Ming, who switched from cardiology to sports medicine, has become an industry expert."

“Medicine is interconnected.”

"I'm a sports student. I'm going to search for this paper. Can anyone teach me how to search?"

"Don't search it, bro. I took a screenshot and posted it on Weibo. It's only 12 pages, full of valuable information!"

"Dr. Jiang Ming probably doesn't mind the screenshots being circulated. He probably just wants publicity."

"Yes, but the CNKI platform allows for permanent download and storage. He doesn't need the money."

"On How Asian Athletes Should Study Abroad: From the Perspective of Sports Medicine." Awesome! This is a master!"

"Who said that studying medicine can't be interesting? The content is so damn cool, every word is real!"

This paper went viral on CNKI.

The download rate soared to 2 times that day!!!

Data from CNKI insiders showed that Jiang Ming’s publicity was indeed effective, as more than 1000 IDs were downloaded from university libraries, which means that senior intellectuals also paid attention to this matter!
Or maybe college athletes have also noticed it!
"Dr. Jiang Ming came back to participate in the Olympics and even wrote a paper on it."

"I read the content. Although the format is not standard, it is full of valuable information! It is much better than the empty and pretentious articles written by doctoral supervisors."

“Yes, I suggest you directly rate it as a national-level paper!”

"It's a must! This is truly a noble cause, contributing to all domestic athletes for free."

"It says that 16 is the best time to study abroad. I'm 15, so I have to wait another year."

"I've actually been wondering if it's not too early to study abroad. Being sent abroad at a young age is not a good thing. 16 years old is indeed a good age!"

"Yes, take basketball as an example. Even if you play center in China at the age of 16, you still have the opportunity to practice dribbling and play guard when you go abroad!"

"Wang Chu's example is really bleak. I also feel that although he is so young, his career has come to an end."

"This is a paper written by a top team doctor. Every word is heartbreaking and serves as a warning to athletes like us who want to study abroad."

Wang Chudu sent a message directly to Jiang Ming:
"Director Jiang, if I had read your paper five years earlier, I wouldn't be in this situation now."

Jiang Ming replied with a smile:

"It's not too late now. When my team grows bigger, you can ask my staff to follow up on the physical therapy. Haha, just kidding. Pay more attention to rest and wait for the next Olympics."

Wang Chu: "Thank you, Dr. Jiang. I worked hard to earn money to buy your plasters and Chinese medicine. I really thank you for this Olympics!!!"

The outside world was in an uproar, and Jiang Ming's live interview directly sparked a heated discussion within both circles.

One is the discussion among young and promising athletes who want to study abroad.

One is the discussion of sports medicine and rehabilitation, especially this category, because it is what Jiang Ming is best at. It is no exaggeration to say that he has shaken up the industry. How many sports students and team doctors have been expelled from local teams and can only make a living in the gym?
But they can't hate him, because they know that if they can't get by, who would be a team doctor?
But Jiang Ming's work is not over yet.

It can even be said that it is becoming more and more important.

The quarter-final match between the Chinese men's basketball team and the Australian men's basketball team will start tonight!
If we win, it will be the first time in the history of men's basketball that we will enter the Olympic semi-finals!!!
