Chinese medicine: from rural hospitals to top three hospitals in Kyoto

The Spring Festival is approaching, and the whole of Kyoto is shrouded in a festive atmosphere.

The weather in Kyoto has been relatively good recently. There was a little snow a few days ago, but it stopped quickly.

As the Spring Festival is approaching, the medical center is no longer accepting new patients.

What makes Kyoto International Medical Center different from other hospitals is that it does not have a general outpatient clinic. It mainly treats patients with difficult and complicated diseases and critical illnesses. In comparison, it does have a certain degree of control over patients.

Although no new patients are being admitted, the medical center has had quite a few patients recently. In addition to the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the cardiothoracic surgery medical team and the hepatobiliary surgery medical team of the Department of Surgery are also busy.

Zhong Dongyang and He Yonghua also completed several difficult operations during this period.

It is worth mentioning that when experts from Cleveland Clinic and Berlin Heart Center visited Kyoto Medical Center, they also had exchanges with Zhong Dongyang and He Yonghua.

As Chen Yang has frequently appeared on hot searches and international medical news with the Kyoto International Medical Center in recent times, the status of the Kyoto International Medical Center has changed greatly.

Now, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Kyoto International Medical Center has the potential to become a top international medical institution. The only thing it lacks now is scale.

There were still three days left before the Spring Festival. In the morning, after Chen Yang checked the wards and gave instructions to Gao Anliang, Xun Jiahong and others, he went to the sanatorium to visit Mr. Lin.

In addition to being in charge of the Kyoto International Medical Center, Chen Yang is also Mr. Lin's personal physician. In other words, Chen Yang has already stepped one foot into the Central Health Bureau. The only thing he lacks is a matter of qualifications and age.

"Hey, Doctor Chen."

Chen Yang came to the yard where Old Lin was, and Lin Zhenxing was there too.

Seeing Chen Yang coming over, Lin Zhenxing was actually a little surprised: "Why is Doctor Chen here today?"

"Brother Lin, you are scolding me."

Chen Yang smiled and said, "It's my fault that I'm incompetent. Brother Lin, feel free to criticize me."

Chen Yang is definitely the most incompetent health doctor. Over the years, he has come to see Mr. Lin only a few times, but on the contrary, Mr. Lin likes Chen Yang very much.

"Xiao Chen is here."

Mr. Lin greeted with a smile: "Come, play chess with me."

Lin Zhenxing was playing chess with Elder Lin. There was a chessboard in front of them. Chen Yang just took a look and said with a smile: "Elder Lin, let Brother Lin come. My chess skills are really..."

Old Lin and Lin Zhenxing were playing chess. Chen Yang knew how to play chess, but his level was not very good. He had played with Old Lin before, and was completely beaten.

Anyone who has played chess knows that, in addition to talent, one also needs sufficient battle experience. Except for a few gifted players, most chess skills are actually developed through battles.

Chen Yang only played chess with others occasionally when he was in Jiping Town. He had no time to play chess in the past two years.

"It's okay, just play around."

Lin Zhenxing smiled and made room, and Old Lin also began to set up the chess pieces.

While setting up the chess pieces, Mr. Lin scolded Lin Zhenxing: "What do you mean by playing casually? Regardless of whether you play well or not, your attitude must be correct first."

"The chess field is like a battlefield. Playing chess is actually the same as Xiao Chen treating patients. Your skills may be poor, but your attitude must be correct."

"Yes, Grandpa, you are right." Lin Zhenxing smiled hastily.

The old man was too serious. What else could Lin Zhenxing say except to smile.

It cannot be said that what Mr. Lin said is wrong, it’s just that the age gap is too big, so their views on many things are different.

In Mr. Lin's opinion, one should be serious about everything he does, but in the eyes of young people like Lin Zhenxing, unless it is a professional competition, playing chess is just a pastime, and you can just play it and relax yourself.

As they were talking, Chen Yang had already started playing chess with Elder Lin. While playing, Lin Zhenxing asked Chen Yang, "Doctor Chen, is Li Hongming of Hanxing Group recovering well now?"

"It's okay, but there's still a long way to go before recovery. Just like David, this disease also requires a long process." Chen Yang said.

"Chen Yang, you are really awesome."

Lin Zhenxing said: "Whether it's David or Li Hongming, this disease is very torturous. If they switch to Western medicine, the patients themselves will want to give up."

What Lin Zhenxing said is indeed correct. Chinese medicine emphasizes that people are the foundation and people are the most important. During treatment, in addition to curing the disease, it is also necessary to relieve the patient's pain rather than increase the patient's pain.

Relieving the patient's symptoms, such as pain, constipation, and insomnia, is the process of treatment, and allowing the patient to recover while receiving treatment.

If you meet a good Chinese medicine doctor, regardless of whether the disease can be completely cured, at least you can have a good quality of life. Unlike Western medicine, which focuses on treating diseases, the treatment process is sometimes really difficult to endure.

Just like chemotherapy and radiotherapy, regardless of whether they can cure the disease, sometimes the process makes people want to live but cannot live, and want to die but cannot die.

Many chemotherapy patients give up because they cannot bear the side effects of chemotherapy.

Chen Yang played two games of chess with Mr. Lin and lost badly.

"Xiao Chen, your chess skills are really...hahaha..."

Elder Lin laughed heartily, stood up, stretched his body, and said with a smile, "You need to practice more."

"Yes." Chen Yang smiled.

"Grandpa, let Chen Yang check you out."

Lin Zhenxing smiled and said to Elder Lin: "The New Year is coming soon. Chen Yang came here today with a lot of consideration. He wants to give you a checkup so that he can have a good New Year."

Chen Yang was sweating. He really had this in mind, but he didn't expect Lin Zhenxing to speak out in one sentence without giving him any face at all.

"It's time to have a good New Year."

Elder Lin smiled and said, "Xiao Chen has worked hard these days. You don't have to keep an eye on me all the time."

Lin Zhenxing opened his mouth and thought to himself that it was okay for you to say this to other doctors, but you really don't need to say it to Chen Yang. Chen Yang really isn't watching you all the time.

It is such an honor to be Mr. Lin's personal physician. Chen Yang is the first personal physician like him who can't remember Mr. Lin for a long time.

Old Lin sat down on the chair, and Chen Yang sat beside him to take Old Lin's pulse and asked about his recent situation.

After what happened last time, Mr. Lin's health is okay and everything is relatively stable. The only things left are some common problems for the elderly, such as old age, physical frailty, and loss of Qi and blood, some of which are irreversible.

However, given Mr. Lin’s current condition, there is no problem for him to live another three to five years. After all, he is already over 90 years old.

At noon, Chen Yang was invited by Mr. Lin to stay at the sanatorium for lunch, and then he went down the mountain with Lin Zhenxing.

"Chen Yang, thank you."

Lin Zhenxing said to Chen Yang sincerely: "The old man has been in a very good mood recently, thanks to you."
