The Ultimate Versatile Soldier King

Chapter 201 Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine


Of course, now that Luo Chao was sitting in this room, all he could do was stare blankly. To resolve the conflict between traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, he had to personally take action.

Thinking of this, Luo Chao said to Jiang Lianqing, "Director Jiang, no matter what, as an authentic Huaxia citizen, although I have also studied Western medicine, I will never allow foreigners to openly belittle our medicine. Take me to meet those American medical experts right away!"

"Alright, Master Luo Chao, I've been waiting for you to say that!" Jiang Lianqing was immediately thrilled to see Luo Chao ready to stand up for traditional Chinese medicine.

In fact, although Jiang Lianqing really wanted to refute those American experts, he didn't have much confidence in what he said.

Because his skills were limited, and in the past few days when he was treating that senior leader, the results were indeed not very significant, and he couldn't even diagnose exactly which part of the leader was ill.

But those American experts, after using a set of peculiar medical equipment, although they did not completely cure the senior leader's illness, were able to precisely identify the abnormalities in the leader's body.

Just from this point, Jiang Lianqing could feel that the traditional Chinese medicine he represented was subtly overshadowed by Western medicine.

Therefore, Jiang Lianqing came to Luo Chao for help, hoping Luo Chao could uphold the dignity of traditional Chinese medicine!

Jiang Lianqing walked quickly, as an eighty-year-old passionate youth, when it involved the comparison between traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, his entire enthusiasm was ignited.

At this moment, he completely did not have the demeanor of an old man, but rather looked like a vigorous young doctor, only with some white hair.

Under Jiang Lianqing's lead, Luo Chao soon arrived at the entrance of the best and largest patient room in the inpatient department of Huahai City's First People's Hospital.

After explaining his purpose to the guard by the door, Luo Chao finally entered the patient room, allowing him to deduce that the identity and background of this VIP were definitely not simple!

At this moment, in the vast patient room, there was only one bed, with a man around sixty years old lying on it, and surrounding him was a large group of doctors.

After observing, Luo Chao found that among the doctors surrounding the patient room, there were both Huaxia people and Americans.

From their positions and attire, one could easily see that there were actually two groups of doctors.

Luo Chao noticed that on the right side of the elderly patient's bed, there were Huaxia doctors with yellow skin and black hair wearing white coats, while on the left side of the bed, there were American doctors with Euromerican features wearing sky blue foreign doctor's uniforms.

The two groups stood facing each other, with clear stances; one side represented traditional Chinese medicine, and the other represented Western medicine.

"Director Jiang, you're finally back. Where's your teacher?" a Caucasian doctor asked in less fluent Chinese upon seeing Jiang Lianqing return.

"He is my teacher." Jiang Lianqing pointed at Luo Chao beside him.

"Haha, Director Jiang, you're so humorous. How could this young man be your teacher?" The Caucasian looked at Luo Chao and Jiang Lianqing with amusement.

"We have an old saying in Huaxia, 'A teacher is respected for his mastery, not his age!'" Jiang Lianqing said, enunciating each word clearly.

"Hahahaha, 'A teacher is respected for his mastery,' isn't it true that in traditional Chinese medicine, the older the doctor, the better their skills? I think in Western medicine, we truly respect mastery!" The Caucasian spoke bluntly, "Your traditional Chinese medicine theories are sheer nonsense, focusing only on a doctor's age and experience, while our Western medicine theories have scientific basis, regardless of age!"

At this point, Luo Chao finally couldn't hold back and said, "Sir, from your words, it seems you have studied traditional Chinese medicine to some extent."

"Indeed, I actually studied traditional Chinese medicine. I've read your medical texts, but I think they're complete nonsense." The Caucasian said, "I even regret learning Chinese. I originally learned Chinese to study traditional Chinese medicine, but it turned out to be all a sham!"

"Haha." Luo Chao laughed, "I think maybe you didn't learn Chinese well enough to understand the medical texts, after all, there are many classical texts in them."

"Hahahaha." As Luo Chao said this, the Huaxia doctors representing traditional Chinese medicine started laughing.

"You're talking nonsense." The Caucasian blushed as the crowd laughed at him.

Luo Chao ignored the Caucasian's expression, turned to the Huaxia doctors, and said, "Everyone has read the Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor, right?"

"Yes." They all answered in unison.

"For those who have read the Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor, perhaps there is a certain word that has caused confusion and left an impression." Luo Chao said, "You all know that in the Inner Canon, it refers to the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys as the five 'zang,' which are not organs in the Western anatomical sense but a kind of image existing in another space, invisible to the naked eye, as discussed in the 'Six Section Hide Image Doctrine' of the Inner Canon."

"Actually, the five 'zang' referred to in the Inner Canon and Chinese medicine are not the tangible organs identified by Western anatomy, but rather an image hidden in another space that cannot be seen by the human eye, which is what the Six Section Hide Image Doctrine in the Inner Canon describes."

"Therefore, combining traditional Chinese medicine theory with various phenomena detected by modern science, we seem to be able to draw a conclusion that we humans actually have two physiological systems: the anatomical physiological system of Western medicine and the 'hide image' physiological system of traditional Chinese medicine!"

"These two physiological systems operate at different frequencies, exist in different spaces, and interact with each other. An initial malfunction in the hide image system gradually affects the anatomical physiological system, which is why many people experience abnormal conditions such as insomnia, constipation, fatigue, and hair loss, yet tests at a hospital show everything to be normal, with no detectable disease."

"In fact, at this time, if a Chinese medicine practitioner were to take a patient's pulse, they would know there was a severe problem, but it might not manifest in the anatomical system until later, when tests might reveal the issue too late."

Jiang Lianqing applauded enthusiastically, "Well said! It's true that no matter how complex high-tech Western medical detections are, we can diagnose the illness with just a pulse-reading!"

Luo Chao continued, "Moreover, the acupoints in our body are actually the communication points between the anatomical physiological system and the hide image physiological system. Acupuncture in traditional Chinese medicine reconnects and reactivates the link between the two systems, restoring the body to its normal state, the so-called 'where there's pain, there's blockage; when it's unblocked, there's no pain.'

"So, in my view, Western medicine treats where it hurts and what ailment it sees, addressing symptoms but not the root cause. Wherever there's a pathological change, antibiotics are used to kill it; if an organ is problematic, it's removed. Gallstones? Remove the gallbladder. Fatty liver? Cut the liver. The treatment process is like a violent crackdown, with results no more than survival or destruction, conquest or subjugation, war or peace."

After Luo Chao finished speaking, the Huaxia doctors who supported traditional Chinese medicine applauded one after another.
