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

Wen Xiuping's residence.

Chu Yiyun and Song Luojun were both there, and the three elderly people were drinking tea while watching the live stream.

"Little Chen is no ordinary person."

Song Luojun remarked with admiration, "Xiao Chen is not only highly skilled in medicine and has both swift and decisive methods, but he is also tolerant and not pedantic."

"Yes."

Chu Yiyun nodded: "Xiao Jingyun's skills are not bad, and he is a decent person with no ill intentions. It can only be said that we have different ideas."

As the saying goes, many things in this world cannot be simply described in black and white, and many people cannot be simply described as good or bad.

Although Xiao Jingyun's initial intention in this matter was to target Chen Yang and cause him trouble, you can't call him a bad person.

Xiao Jingyun comes from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. He has a solid foundation in medicine and is highly skilled in medical techniques. At the same time, he is also inherently cautious and conservative.

Why is it said that masters often emerge from humble backgrounds? Many great heroes have experienced hardships, and at least many top masters have. It's because flowers in a greenhouse experience less wind and rain. A life that's too smooth isn't always a good thing, unless it can continue indefinitely.

Take traditional Chinese medicine experts as an example. Why do some unorthodox methods often have miraculous effects? Precisely because if they are too systematic, they will become too restrictive.

Too many rules can sometimes be restrictive, limiting not only performance but also innovation.

The reason why there were some highly skilled traditional Chinese medicine practitioners in the past was largely due to the poor medical conditions and inconvenient transportation at that time.

Because of poor medical standards and inconvenient transportation, many serious, critical, and acute illnesses had to be treated by traditional Chinese medicine practitioners at the time. They tried to solve the problems they could, and even if they couldn't, they had to find ways to do so.

Nowadays, if people can't see a doctor in their village, they go to the county; if the county can't treat them, they go to the provincial capital, or even the capital, or Shanghai, or even abroad.

In the past, when people fell ill, they had no choice but to rely on the doctor at the time. If the illness was not serious and the doctor was skilled, they were lucky to survive. If the illness was too severe and the medical skills were inadequate, they did not survive; that was their fate because they had no other option.

Therefore, it was common for traditional Chinese medicine doctors to cause deaths at that time. We couldn't just ignore it because there was nothing we could do; we had to do our best, leaving the rest to fate and doing our best as best we could. That's what it means.

Given the medical conditions at the time, if the patient couldn't be saved, the doctors couldn't be blamed too much.

In that situation, many practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine can grow in various circumstances, and their skill level, experience, and courage will all be different.

To be honest, the difference between Xiao Jingyun and Wen Xiuping, Chu Yiyun, and the others might lie in their vision, or rather, their courage.

Sometimes, the leading figure of an era is not necessarily the most capable, but must have the best vision.

Chu Yiyun was able to become a leading figure in the medical field precisely because he not only possessed skill, but also vision and courage.

"Jingyun has a great influence in Qianzhou, and the Xiao family also has many disciples in Qianzhou."

Wen Xiuping said slowly, "This time, some people are instigating Jingyun because they value Jingyun's influence and the Xiao family's foundation."

"Yes."

Chu Yiyun said, "Actually, this matter was originally extremely difficult to resolve. Whether Xiao Chen beats Jing Yun or loses to Jing Yun, things will not be easy to handle."

"If Xiao Chen wins, Jing Yun will lose face, and some people will inevitably hold a grudge against Xiao Chen. If Xiao Chen loses, some people will take the opportunity to cause trouble."

After a pause, Chu Yiyun said with a smile, "Especially this time, if Xiaoyun doesn't handle it well, it could displease many of our colleagues."

"Yes."

Song Luojun said, "Many people only see the danger to the patient, but ignore many problems. Even though Jingyun was a bit competitive this time, it was just an unintentional mistake. It was a misdiagnosis and mistreatment, and the nature of the misdiagnosis cannot be classified as too serious."

Xiao Jingyun's situation is actually the same as the mistakes doctors make in routine treatments; it's a matter of misjudgment and insufficient consideration. Every doctor makes these kinds of mistakes; it's just a matter of how many or how few they make.

Aside from those like Chen Yang who have cheated, and whose cases can be judged by the system's experience points, how many people can avoid making mistakes?

Does making a mistake mean you should be condemned outright?

Admittedly, in the past, many traditional Chinese medicine practitioners treated the powerful and wealthy, often in life-or-death situations. But now, some things need to be viewed rationally.

Therefore, Wen Xiuping, Chu Yiyun, and Chen Yang were very satisfied with how Chen Yang handled this matter.

Chen Yang's handling of the situation not only saved Xiao Jingyun's face but also upheld the fairness of the competition. This not only won over Xiao Jingyun but also garnered the favor of a large number of people in the field of traditional Chinese medicine.

At the scene, Xiao Jingyun's eyes welled up with tears. He slowly stood up and looked at Chen Yang with a complicated expression.

Xiao Jingyun originally thought that after such an incident, Chen Yang would definitely suppress him, take advantage of the situation to damage his reputation, and use the opportunity to establish his authority.

But Xiao Jingyun never expected that Chen Yang would not only not do that, but would also protect him.

"Medicine is inherently a difficult path."

On stage, Chen Yang slowly said, "Only medical workers can understand the hardships along the way. Every doctor is not born with knowledge. They all start from ignorance and improve themselves step by step. On this journey, they will encounter many things, many difficulties, and make many mistakes."

"Whether you're a new doctor or a seasoned one, you'll face different challenges..."

As he spoke, Chen Yang raised his voice: "Old Master Xiao Jingyun has practiced medicine for fifty years and saved countless lives. During these fifty years, Old Master Xiao has also made mistakes and saved many critically ill patients. He is an admirable old Chinese medicine doctor, and his skill is evident to all."

"Next, please welcome Xiao Jingyun, the champion of this year's Medical Proficiency Competition, to the stage to receive his award and give a speech..."

As Chen Yang finished speaking, enthusiastic applause erupted at the scene, and some netizens watching the live stream also sent out barrage comments.

"Director Chen has a grand vision."

"Yang Shen is so handsome."

"This is the kind of scale that should be used to organize such a competition. Only in this way can outstanding TCM talents be selected."

"Director Chen is right. Dr. Xiao is very skilled. He cured my mother's illness."

Amidst enthusiastic applause and comments from netizens, Xiao Jingyun strode step by step onto the podium to receive the award.

Standing on the stage, Xiao Jingyun looked at Chen Yang with a complicated expression.

Like the Yangtze River, each generation surpasses the last, and Chen Yang truly deserves the name of the God of Yang.

Chen Yang presented the award to Xiao Jingyun first, and then Xiao Jingyun took the microphone and slowly spoke.

"It is said that there is no end to learning and that those who achieve mastery are the first to succeed. Although I am over seventy years old, as a contestant in this competition, I can be considered a student of Director Chen."

Xiao Jingyun's first words left many people at the scene speechless with surprise.

As Wen Manlu jokingly said before, in a certain sense, the contestants participating in this competition can indeed be considered Chen Yang's students, but it is hard to believe that such words came from Xiao Jingyun's mouth.
