Why do you feel that not many people are studying Chinese medicine nowadays?

Gansu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine many years ago to apply for fewer people, candidates are mostly the second volunteer for the hospital. In recent years, the admission score line first or second in the province, basically the first volunteer. Thanks to the Gansu Provincial Government for many years in a row, 5,000 medical college students recruited each year to work in rural health centers, most of them are traditional Chinese medicine. Coupled with the development of Chinese medicine at all levels of general hospitals, also recruit many Chinese medicine students. Gansu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine has improved the quality of education in the past few years, is also one of the reasons.

Good Chinese medicine is not learned, but realized, so the method of learning for Chinese medicine can not get its door and learn, so fewer people learn.

Why do we say that Chinese medicine needs enlightenment? Because what Chinese medicine recognizes and grasps is not matter, but spirit.

The world is composed of both matter and spirit of completely different natures; matter is the tangible spirit and spirit is the energetic matter, and one cannot exist without the other.

Matter is tangible, clear and definite, solid and reliable, so the method of recognizing and grasping matter must also have or conform to the tangible, clear and definite, solid and reliable nature and characteristics of matter. The tangible character of the method means that the method has an external, materialized, fixed program and criterion; the clarity and reliability of the method means that the method must be applied in strict accordance with the external program and criterion, and that the method must have a clear and unambiguous point of departure in order to be able to know and grasp matter.

Spirit is intangible, dynamic and chaotic, so the method of recognizing and grasping spirit must possess or conform to the intangible, dynamic and chaotic nature and characteristics of spirit. The intangible character of this method means that there is no external fixed program or guideline for this method; the dynamic character means that this method is often changing and there is no uniform standard; and the vague and chaotic character determines that this method is inclusive and holistic, and at the same time, this method possesses a personalized internal starting point.

In this way, the method of recognizing matter takes on the characteristic properties of being externally evidential, unidirectional, orderly, monotonous, and open, and the method of recognizing spirituality takes on the characteristics of being internally evidential, omnidimensional, complex, and closed.

These two methods are logic and perception. The cognitive system formed by these two methods is science and Chinese culture represented by Chinese medicine.

Therefore, both science and Chinese medicine are cognizing and grasping a part of the world or partially cognizing and grasping the world from completely different perspectives; science grasps the world from a material perspective, while Chinese medicine cognizes and grasps the world from a spiritual perspective.

Chinese medicine is the establishment of a system of internal senses. The spirit is dynamic and is the cause of this world, so if you grasp the spirit, you grasp the world. The most direct way to grasp the spirit is through internal evidence and perception.

The establishment of the internal sense system of Chinese medicine is mainly through two aspects: feeling the operation of drugs in the body and the teacher.

To a certain extent, Chinese medicine is not purely a drug, but a "meaning", a "meaning" that can act on the spirit and mobilize the spirit's motivation. Traditional Chinese medicine uses Chinese medicine as the "intention", which mobilizes the spirit as the cause, and finally the spirit changes the substance or the body, thus eliminating the disease at its root.

In this way, Chinese medicine requires the practitioner to first know the "intention" of a certain Chinese medicine, and then to realize the operation of the "intention" of the medicine in the body. These are internal, not external, which requires the practitioner of Chinese medicine to realize the "intention" of the medicine by taking the medicine himself, and then to determine the amount of the medicine to be used for the disease. All of this, the scientific double-blind experiment can not be done, in turn, Western medicine will not dare to learn the method of internal evidence of Chinese medicine. In fact, the internal evidence of Chinese medicine knowledge system has long been established, starting from the legendary Shennong, China's sages forget and go to the cause of Chinese medicine, until now, the building of Chinese medicine has long been built. But now there is a new problem, the problem is that the current Chinese herbal medicine is completely different from the previous Chinese herbal medicine. In the past, Chinese medicines were wild and had sufficient "meaning", but now most of them are artificially cultivated, and the "meaning" of the cultivated herbs has changed or is seriously insufficient. Therefore, it is necessary for TCM practitioners to re-establish the "meaning" and quantity of herbs through the method of internal perception. It is a basic requirement for TCM practitioners to have outstanding perception ability, and those who do not have outstanding perception ability should not practise TCM.

In addition to building up the internal knowledge system of Chinese medicine through a long period of one's own perception, one can also quickly build up one's own perception knowledge system by learning from those who have already built up a perception knowledge system. The perceptual knowledge system of Chinese medicine cannot all be taught through external material forms, therefore, the teacher-trainer system, which is passed on from heart to mouth, is necessary for the rapid development of Chinese medicine.

Therefore, people are always trying to understand Chinese medicine which cannot be understood. The methods and paths are not right, and eventually these people cannot acquire Chinese medicine. Since the method of learning is ineffective, naturally fewer people will learn Chinese medicine.

How about more Chinese medicine students? What is the difference between a large number of Chinese medicine students and a small number of Chinese medicine students? The culture is vernacularized, the ancient ones are not understood, and the new so-called experts and professors write pseudo-Chinese medicine books, so what is the point of learning? What can we do if we don't learn?

The current state of Chinese medicine is very distressing! Looking around the world, it is surprising that we cannot find a few reliable Chinese medicine practitioners!

Tell us about the experience of taking your child to the doctor in the first place.

Sentimental words are a bit much, so bear with me.

Once the child coughing badly, went to the first people's hospital in Shijiazhuang, the first hospital has a Chinese medicine department. But the Chinese medicine department is very poor ah, just so a department only a few people, and the old Chinese medicine only one, the other are thirty years of age of young Chinese medicine, let a person look at the uneasy.

The question is what is the concept of the first hospital in Shijiazhuang? This is definitely considered a good hospital in Shijiazhuang, such a good hospital is only so few Chinese medicine?

Fortunately, the child's disease is not complicated, prescribed a pair of tonics, the first drink down time not long coughing relief.

Later, I went to the Fourth Provincial Hospital, still for the child's illness. After all, it is the fourth provincial hospital, there are a lot of traditional Chinese medicine doctors, experts and professors.

However, it was disappointing that the experts and professors were not very good, and after seeing a few professors, there were no results.

Which a specialist professor table are surrounded by a large number of patients waiting to see the patient, judging from the number of patients, you can not see which doctor level is high, which doctor level is low.

I was most impressed by a professor who was very nice on the hospital's description and had a very kind attitude and answered all questions. But what's the point of being kind? I can't see the disease!

This is the so-called experts and professors nowadays, which one has a scary title to say, but has no real skills.

Then I figured out that there is a serious imbalance between the supply and demand of Chinese medicine doctors and patients, and there are patients waiting to see a doctor everywhere, and there are not enough doctors. So you go to see, regardless of Chinese medicine and Western medicine, which expert in front of a bunch of patients. The number of patients can not be used as a basis for judging the level of the expert.

Again, my own experience of seeing an herbalist.

At the age of thirty, he suddenly had heart problems and frequent premature exposures.

Looked at half a day, finally came to the provincial Chinese medicine hospital, looking for a famous old Chinese medicine, when the hospital introduction blowing very strong, I can not remember, anyway, it is said that he is a certain aspect of the Chinese medicine hospital is one of the two most powerful old man.

As a result, after listening to my case, he still had a very kind attitude, smiled and was very patient, flatly asserted that I was suffering from coronary heart disease, and then asked the intern to hang up a diagram of the human body's structure, pointing out and explaining to me what coronary heart disease was.

It blew my mind at the time!

Then his medicine didn't work, so I went to the library to look up medical books on my own, and I came across a sentence that instantly told me that the old man was full of shit.

The book said, the human body in the body function aging, blood vessel elasticity is getting worse, the coronary artery blood vessels are blocked two-thirds of the time, this time will generally produce the symptoms of coronary heart disease. Because the blood supply is insufficient.

I thought, go to the special grandmother a leg of the child, I am only thirty years old, okay, the body is not premature aging, the former push a few years ago still in the stadium bouncing happy, and then say thirty years old body, coronary blood vessels can not be blocked two thirds of the right? How bad can it be that the coronary blood vessels are now hardened and inelastic, right?

So I was instantly relieved that my old man definitely wasn't having a coronary (it was $5,000 for an imaging test, so I didn't bother to spend the money.)

Look, this is the so-called experts in Chinese medicine. When the old experts in Chinese medicine are of such a standard, how many people do you think will want to learn Chinese medicine?

Now it is a vicious circle, the worse the level of Chinese medicine, the worse the social evaluation, Chinese medicine to earn money can not do Western medicine, learning Chinese medicine will be fewer and fewer successors.

What you are saying is that there are very few people learning Chinese medicine, right? Because the threshold for them to raise too high, such as secondary school education is not allowed to take the assistant physician's license, etc., there are authoritarian ideas in the monster. Ancient people are talking about [not stick to one pattern to lower the talent], but now it is not as generous as the ancient people! Want to take Chinese medicine school should be quite a lot, now the national policy to support the development of Chinese medicine.

Let me analyze this from the angle of doctor-patient relationship. Let us not talk about why there are fewer and fewer people studying Chinese medicine, but let us talk about why there are fewer and fewer people becoming doctors.



First of all, patients always blame their doctors for prescribing a bunch of useless tests, then the good doctor reduces some tests through his own judgment, but reducing tests means that the chance of misdiagnosis increases, and in the end, when something goes wrong, they will still be caught by these lawyers.

Furthermore, the hospital leadership also give pressure, said the hospital needs to generate revenue, zero price difference in drugs, resulting in insufficient hospital revenue, can only increase the examination to generate revenue, the final result is to open the examination of more patients scolded the doctor, open the examination of less than not only the hospital to find you talk to, but also easy to cause misdiagnosis of the patient, easy to be seized by the lawyers to sue the handle to the court.

Doctors need to grow up, too. Doctors also need to grow process, these lawyers are better than the horse after the cannon after the fact of their own to the law one by one to find the doctor made a mistake, but the doctor in the treatment of emergencies and how much time to give you to let you think carefully, and then the accident, these dog than the lawyers will be dead one by one to pick up and not to let go. This is completely cold legal provisions, there is not a trace of feelings exist, a young doctor which has so much experience to face these things, but the reality is that people do not care about your age, experience, you do not comply with the regulations, I will sue you, who let you do wrong, you deserve it.

Sometimes it's really not that doctors want to prescribe tests, it's that they really can't help it. It's because of this group of people that causes doctors to not be able to make the slightest mistake, not to miss a single test, and for the patient it may be the cost of the test, but for the doctor one less test, and what they end up getting is medical malpractice and a subpoena from the court.

In turn, not to say Western medicine, take Chinese medicine, patients always complain that Chinese hospitals prescribe drugs have no effect, complaining of Chinese hospitals also need a variety of instruments to check, that is because according to the provisions of the Chinese hospitals in the case writing not only need to be diagnosed by Chinese medicine also need to write the Western diagnosis, and Western diagnosis can only be through the instrumentation of the conclusion, and at the same time, in order not to misdiagnosis and diagnostic errors and omissions can only be found in an indication on the examination of a find one, find one, check one, one can not be missed. Check a, a can not be missed, really in fact, sometimes patients you feel that the opening of the examination opened more, but really a lot of times the doctor has secretly bear the risk of the defendant to you to reduce the examination, in accordance with their provisions, only you have a hint of the possibility of a hint of symptoms need to be examined to determine the outcome of basically all the diseases in your body to give you a check out which is considered to be complete. Then come back to the prescription of Chinese medicine, many people complained that the Chinese medicine hospital prescription measurement is small, are a few grams dozen grams is to cheat the money, sometimes really is not, really is forced to do nothing. Each Chinese medicine in the pharmacopoeia are standardized dosage, but the fact that the clinical aspects of these standardized dosage is simply not enough to treat the disease, so you want to cure must increase the amount of medicine. Turned around and said increase the dosage of drugs to compound the patient's specific situation, but does not meet the medical norms, ah, this time a lawsuit a permitted. You let the doctor how to see the disease? Sometimes it is not the hospital's Chinese medicine technology is not good, is really no way, in order to keep their jobs, in order to make a living can only be so.

Therefore, not only are there fewer and fewer people learning Chinese medicine, but there are also fewer and fewer people working as doctors. There are wolves in front of us and tigers behind us, and the patients treat doctors as white angels, thinking that doctors should be impartial and should treat the sick and save the lives of the people. Lawyers treat doctors as machines, that doctors all the time should not ensure that behavior composite medical norms, in line with the provisions of the law, do not allow the doctor to have the slightest slack, but no matter which party did not take the doctor as a human being, the state in order to the people to introduce health care, in order to the people to introduce the law, out of the medical norms, but ask the doctor out of what things? Patients beat and abused the doctor, in exchange for the perpetrators of detention for four or five days and then issued a few hundred dollars irrelevant fine. They say that the doctor's high salary, but the doctor's high salary is Nima no day and night work in exchange for, three or four days a night shift, often dozens of hours in a row, I would like to ask those who say that the migrant workers are hard, you tell me which migrant workers work dozens of hours in a row? You find me another occupation that works dozens of hours in a row? What are the professions that require more than 10 years of hard study before joining the labor force, and after joining the labor force, they still work overtime every day and work continuously? Doctors' high salary is also the result of intense work, not for nothing. Really forced to the end, we doctors in order to protect themselves. We can only say to you to say sorry, your disease we are not capable of treatment, please ask for another. There is no way since no one cares about us, it is better to ask for help than to ask for help, you are heartless don't blame us for being unrighteous.

They say that now it is difficult to see a doctor, queuing for two hours to see a doctor for five minutes, rest assured that the queue will be longer and longer in the future, it will be more and more difficult to see a doctor, and so on the doctors are woefully unavailable to the whole well, are waiting for death, who do not see a doctor.

There are many reasons for the formation of this phenomenon, the first of which is the policy reason, which is understandable without saying anything.

Secondly, it is the reason of Chinese medicine itself, not to mention the fact that Chinese medicine study is boring and tedious, the time required for learning Chinese medicine alone is already amazing, and it is really hard to do it without more than ten years of hard work if you want to really treat the disease clinically.

Then on the lack of faith, some people say what does studying Chinese medicine have to do with faith? In fact, it has a lot to do with it. Modern people are all money-oriented, and most of them are eager for quick success and instant benefits, so who does not want to eat a fatty in one bite? Instead of spending more than 10 years to learn Chinese medicine, it would be better to learn a random skill, and then they can become rich and support their families, but Chinese medicine is not possible.

The last thing is that the entry requirements for Chinese medicine are so harsh that most people give up halfway through the program. There is nothing that can be done without scrapping it, because Chinese medicine requires too much of the learner; perception, talent, exceptional understanding and rigorous literary skills are all stumbling blocks that prevent the learning of Chinese medicine.

In terms of vocational education, far more people study Western medicine than Chinese medicine because Western medicine is better at making money, and isn't the purpose of vocational education to make a living by mastering a skill? From the point of view of health, especially people have reached middle age, feeling, experience, eyes and ears heard more, that, learning Chinese medicine than learning Western medicine, much more, because Chinese medicine can be a cure for disease, but also health.

There are a lot of people studying TCM, and some people keep applying for the Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, but the point is that there are not many people who are firmly committed to the path of TCM. Because the Chinese medicine to endure poverty, at least the first few years, but also to sink into the clinic with the study, repeated practice, the initial easily frustrated, some of them are difficult to be understood by friends and family, especially when choosing a career or upgrading to the master's degree, most people give up on Chinese medicine, choose to switch to Western medicine or other health care related.

It is true that not many people learn Chinese medicine, it can be said that since the establishment of medical schools, the proportion of Chinese medicine enrollment is small, receiving hospitals are fewer. Chinese medicine medical books, medical science is difficult to learn and difficult to understand, medical books to medical ancient text-based, modernized people's understanding of Chinese medicine and attention to the impact of insufficient and so on, so the application for enrollment of fewer people, with the country's attention to Chinese medicine and the epidemic in the people of Chinese medicine and renewed understanding of the near future will certainly Chinese medicine team will be more powerful.
