Chapter 934: Chapter 370: Western Medicine Targets the Lesion, Traditional Chinese Medicine Heals and Nourishes

She looked at Zhou Can softly.

“Hehe, I almost forgot that your boyfriend is also a doctor, and a very talented young physician in our Nephrology department. With him watching over you, your diet shouldn’t be an issue. That leaves problems with your daily routine. High work pressure, staying up late, and insufficient sleep can all increase the burden on your kidneys. Miss Su, you should consider reducing your workload in the future.”

After understanding the basic situation, Director Jian turned to look at Director Jiang.

“We can make some adjustments and optimizations to her medication, but I estimate it may not achieve a satisfactory effect.”

“Western medicine is pretty much all the same. The doctor who prescribed for her isn’t low-level. Optimizing the prescription might only have some positive therapeutic effects. To say we can directly stop disease progression is unrealistic.”

Director Jiang nodded in response.

In this matter, they couldn’t deceive Zhou Can.

“Both of you are top experts in Nephrology. Even you don’t have a better solution?”

Zhou Can’s heart sank to the bottom.

Facing the ruthless illness, it wasn’t the first time he felt this sense of helplessness.

“Uh… if you’re willing to try, I suggest consulting Elder Chen Guoli for a few doses of Chinese medicine to see the effect. Given her disease progression trend over the past two years, forgive me for being blunt, but continuing with Western medicine means that in less than two years you’ll have to consider a kidney transplant.”

Director Jian pondered for a moment before giving this suggestion.

His diagnostic experience is extremely rich. If he says you’ll need to consider a transplant within two years, it might very well come true.

Disease deterioration is like an avalanche.

In the beginning, it’s just some subtle movements; as it progresses, it becomes more and more unstoppable. The progression speed will also accelerate.

Nobody expected Director Jian would suggest Su Qianqian abandon Western medicine in favor of traditional Chinese medicine under such circumstances.

To be honest, Zhou Can himself studied clinical Western medicine and knew only a little about Chinese medicine.

In his heart, he never thought highly of Chinese medicine.

The market’s choice proves everything.

Chinese medicine has declined to the point where it’s almost invisible.

“Director Jian, you see my girlfriend’s condition is already rapidly progressing, and she’s almost at the tipping point of entering stage three. With all due respect, is Chinese medicine really reliable?”

As it concerns his girlfriend’s safety, Zhou Can had to ask.

“Xiao Zhou, I can responsibly tell you that Chinese medicine in treating many chronic diseases is even more effective than Western medicine. Elder Chen Guoli, I’m acquainted with him too; he’s one of the few certified traditional Chinese medicine practitioners in the province with high expertise. Elder Chen is a successor of the Menghe Medical School, a low-profile man dedicated to researching medicine and pharmacology, so not many know his name. Among the patients I’ve diagnosed, there was one who, as per my diagnosis, wasn’t expected to live past three months, but after Elder Chen’s treatment, has lived for over six years now.”

Director Jiang also highly praises this Elder Chen.

Zhou Can knows nothing about Chinese medical schools.

He only knows some basic knowledge about Chinese medicine and doesn’t even know how to take a pulse. He’s never heard of the Menghe Medical School.

“Is this Menghe Medical School formidable?”

As soon as he asked the question, he realized it was a dumb question.

Fortunately, both Director Jiang and Director Jian had a high regard for him and treated him like a semi-successor, so they weren’t offended or angry.

“Renowned physicians in Wuzhong are the best in the world, and Menghe physicians are the best in Wuzhong. Now you tell me if the Menghe Medical School is formidable or not?”

Director Jian seemed somewhat displeased seeing Zhou Can’s complete ignorance of the history and heritage of Chinese medicine.

“Xiao Zhou, you remember, as descendants of China, even if we don’t exalt the precious Chinese medical heritage left by our ancestors, we shouldn’t look down on it. You are the most talented young doctor I’ve ever seen, and your achievements in the medical field will undoubtedly be outstanding in the future. Because of this, your influence in China’s medical community will certainly be immense. I hope you can view Chinese medicine rationally, objectively, and fairly.”

“Even though it has declined, it was once brilliant; moreover, because of the existence of Chinese medicine, we Chinese descendants have maintained the world’s largest population, creating a miracle in world population history. Historically, in several major epidemics, countless people died in the West and Africa, yet China repeatedly used the seemingly insignificant Chinese medicine to overcome the dreadful plagues.”

Director Jian spoke these words with deep emotion.

Zhou Can even sensed a special sentiment in them.

It’s a combination of national sentiment, bloodline sentiment, and Chinese medicine sentiment.

Zhou Can also felt from other chief physicians the same profound feelings towards Chinese medicine.

He doesn’t know much about Chinese medicine.

But he has learned some history and knows that indeed, many plagues have occurred in human history. The development and prosperity of Chinese medicine’s typhoid theory are closely related to epidemics.

In ancient times, with lagging technological civilization and low medical standards in densely populated environments, once a plague occurred, it could wipe out nine out of ten households, with countless deaths.

The Chinese land, especially the densely populated Yangtze and Yellow River regions, was definitely a world’s sin.

The prosperous Jiangnan and Jinling scenes weren’t given for free.

The West, with just one plague, led to human extinction in many places.

In thousands of years of Chinese history, the number of plagues faced is countless. Yet each time, the plague could be contained and eliminated.

Chinese medicine played an enormous role.
