Chapter 431
Li Liangjing said, "ording to the mission given by the teacher, we have to learn from the
attending physician and help manage and treat the patients. Let''s begin when we''re ready."
"We will listen to Senior''s arrangements," Li Yuanyuan raised her hand and said.
Li Liangjing gave everyone a basic task. The specific tasks would be assigned by the corresponding
doctor.
For three consecutive days, the students of the traditional Chinese medicine major only did some
misceneous tasks. At most, they would help the patients change their dressing and help the
nurses carry their things. Meanwhile, Huang Ze and the rest had already entered the operating
theater to assist the doctors in surgery.
Su Sitian could not help asking Doctor Liang who was leading the team, "Doctor Liang, can we
enter the operating theater to help?"
Doctor Liang nced at her and said, "No, what you''ve learned is very different from what we do in
surgery. You can''t help."
"So we can do something further?"
Doctor Liang looked around at the students. "Not yet."
After Doctor Liang left, Liu Kaiyuan said, "Have you taken a western medicine ss? Do you know
how to use the medical equipment? How can you be qualified to treat patients and save people with
just pulse-reading and asking questions?"
Meng Xiuyuan couldn''t take it anymore. "Liu Kaiyuan, what you have learned also includes Chinese
medicine techniques. Is there a need to belittle our country''s traditional techniques?"
"I''m telling the truth. It''s precisely because I''ve learned both of them that I can see the pros and
cons of both of them clearly, but inparison, Western medicine is practically wless."
"That''s because your skills aren''t good enough! A good traditional Chinese medicine practitioner
completely beats Western medicine!" Meng Xiuyuan said angrily.
"Oh, then tell me. The patient over there is suffering from abdominal pain. How are you going to
eliminate the possibility that it''s hernia, gastric disease, appendicitis, or foreign substances? Also, if
the patient over there doesn''t use anti-inmmatory drugs in time, how are you going to prevent his
wound from getting infected? That patient doesn''t need any equipment to check. How are you going
to determine the reason for hisa? If the patient over there doesn''t use western techniques to
make the medication, are you going to wait until you''re done brewing the medicine before feeding
him?"
Liu Kaiyuan pointed at the patients and asked Meng Xiuyuan and Su Sitian.
Meng Xiuyuan was speechless.
Liu Kaiyuan then said indifferently, "Oh, the specialization you guys learn isn''tpletely useless.
You usually do acupuncture when you have nothing to do, drink some Chinese medicine to
recuperate, and then treat the so-called yin and yang deficiencies. It has quite aforting effect."
"You!" Meng Xiuyuan was so angry that he wanted to hit him, but Li Liangjing held him back.
His words were the focus of everyone''s controversy in recent years. More and more people felt that
Chinese medicine was useless. Even students who had learned both would have such thoughts.
Traditional Chinese medicine being useless was amon topic. Even doctors who studied
traditional
Chinese medicine became more reliant on western medicine to treat patients. Liu Kaiyuan was not
an exception.
Liu Kaiyuan turned around and left while saying to Huang Ze, "Doctor Liang said that the patient in
Bed 38 needs to be observed carefully. Record the core data."
During lunch, Meng Xiuyuan held his bowl and looked at the peopleing and going in the
canteen. He moved his chopsticks, but the food in his bowl was still there.
Picking up food, Li Yuanyuan asked in a low voice, "Is traditional Chinese medicine really useless?
My grandfather has been practicing medicine his entire life, and he has treated many people, but
now, they have chosen to look for western medicine instead ofing back."
"How is that possible?" Shi Jin said calmly. "Senior Meng is right. Once you are proficient in your
studies, Chinese medicine will naturally be able to defeat Western medicine. How can something
passed down by our ancestors be useless just like that?"
Li Liangjing added, "So what if you''re criticized? What needs to be learned still needs to be learned.
Since this specialization still exists, it naturally means that it has its uses. He already looks down on
himself, so what is he?"
Only then did Meng Xiuyuan perk up and eat.
In the afternoon, Doctor Liang finally gave everyone a chance.
"Li Liangjing, your group can participate in traditional Chinese medicine''s treatment of facial
paralysis. Recently, the hospital has taken in more than twenty patients with facial paralysis.
Currently, seven of them are severely ill using the current method. However, whether they agree to
your participation in the treatment will depend on their family''s situation and your own ability," Doctor
Liang said.
Now that they could finallye into contact with actual medical cases, everyone''s mood was
finally lifted. They followed Doctor Liang into the treatment room.
The seven facial paralysis patients were all there. They were considered to be in a more serious
situation. They had crooked mouths and nted eyes. Some of them couldn''t even contain their
saliva or speak. Forget living normally, they didn''t even have their basic dignity.
When Shi Jin followed them in, she realized that Liu Kaiyuan and the others were already there.
Doctor Liang briefly introduced the situation. "Everyone, we currently have two groups of
outstanding students from medical schools. One group is from thebined medical specialization
of both Western and traditional Chinese medicine, and the other is from the ancient traditional
Chinese medicine specialization. They will participate in your treatment. However, since they are
interns, whether you agree to their treatment will depend on you."
When the family member heard that interns were arranged to treat patients, even though they were
helpless, they did not object.
After all, there were no special medicines for facial paralysis currently, so the pathogenesis and
principle were still unclear. If they had not yet recovered from the ordeal even after visiting a few big
hospitals, they would not havee to the affiliated hospital.

Doctor Liang said, "Xie Rung, Liu Kaiyuan, why don''t you give everyone a brief introduction?"
Xie Rung was already a fourth-year student with rich experience, so he calmly said, "We
specialize inbining Western and Chinese medicine. Although we don''t have any special
medicine for facial paralysis, we can treat it by investigating the virus in the blood andbining it
with the patient''s condition. If needed, we can even perform surgery to cut off the facial nerves."
It sounded very scientific.
The treatment for truncating facial nerves especially gave the patient great hope. Immediately, some
patients chose them.
Li Liangjing said, "We can use Chinese medicine as a supplement to treat facial paralysis with
acupuncture.
There are many ways to treat facial paralysis in ancient traditional Chinese medicine, but as for the
specific person, we need to first determine the cause of the illness and then choose the appropriate
medicine and acupuncture method."
Immediately, a patient''s family member said, "Ancient Chinese medicine? Will this method work?"
A family member beside her said, "I heard that eating too much of those herbs will harm the kidney.
It''s best not to choose that method."
"Acupuncture is something that you can just watch on TV. No one can understand the practical
reasoning. I don''t think it''s scientific."
At the end of the day, even if they were admitted to a hospital thatbined Western and Chinese
medicine, everyone would still prefer Western medicine to diagnose and treat them. They were
more at ease with solid data.
In the end, six patients and their families chose Xie Rung''s group.
Only one person chose Li Liangjing.
The people in Xie Rung''s group discussed among themselves. Since they could not deal with six
patients, they finally chose three. The remaining three patients would be handed over to the doctors
in the hospital.
The person who chose Shi Jin''s group was a young girl. Due to her facial paralysis, no one could
see her actual looks. However, based on her facial features, one could guess that she was originally
a very pretty girl.
Her mother was with her. The girl could not talk ormunicate. She kept typing with her mother.
The two of them seemed to have had an argument and were a little agitated.
Her mother said in a low voice, "How can you be so stubborn? Go to that group over there. Even if
it''s not enough, you can still perform surgery to remove the nerves. Why must you stay in this
group?"
The girl was typing on her phone to show her mother.
Her mother sighed after reading and did not speak for a long time.
Shi Jin walked over. The mother said with tears in her eyes, "We''ve already found a few hospitals.
Please help us. I don''t expect her to recoverpletely. I just want her to be healthy."
The youngdy took out her phone and typed on it. After typing, she specially passed it to Shi Jin.
"Shi Jin, I don''t want to undergo a neurotomy. I want to act. I want to maintain the facial nerves
intact. Can you help me?"
When Shi Jin saw these words, she lowered her eyes. No wonder the little girl had chosen to stay in
his group.
She had high hopes.
After reading the content, Shi Jin handed the phone back and said in a low voice, "Don''t worry. We''ll
definitely do our best."
"Thank you." The little girl typed two words.
Li Liangjing asked everyone to make a diagnosis first before treating her.
Because Li Yuanyuan and Shi Jin were inexperienced, she was mainly diagnosed by Li Liangjing
and Meng
Xiuyuan while Su Sitian assisted in the treatment.
Li Yuanyuan stood by the side and helped to hand things to them.
The mother kept looking at Xie Rung.
They had already brought the patients for a blood test. She heard that they had to eliminate the viral
infection factor.
It sounded very scientific. Compared to the questionable method here, it looked more reassuring.
Her mother looked distracted.
After the diagnosis, Li Liangjing returned to his office and started prescribing medicine.
Meng Xiuyuan nced at it. "The patient has used this prescription before. The effect is average."
"I added another herb. It should be able to improve," Li Liangjing said after thinking for a while.
"There''s also acupuncture. With the medicine, it should be able to y a preliminary role. Sitian,
you''re good at acupuncture. You can perform acupuncture for her then."
"Alright," Su Sitian agreed.
Shi Jin opened her WeChat and sent a picture to Li Liangjing.
His phone rang. Li Liangjing picked it up and took a look. He realized that it was a photo of an
ancient medical skill.
The words on it were difficult to read, but he had quite a bit of research on ancient medicine, so he
could still tell that these were used to identify the various therapies for facial paralysis.
He looked up at Shi Jin.
Shi Jin said, "Her situation is a little special, but with good herbs, she should be able to recover."
Li Liangjing nodded and saved the picture.
Although he understood those treatments, he still needed to carry out further research in order to
identify different medicines.
In the end, the treatment ns for these four patients were submitted to Doctor Liang.
Doctor Liang also sent a report to the school.
