“If you have a disease and don’t treat it, you often get a Chinese doctor.” This saying is not to belittle the traditional medicine of our motherland, but to say that if there is a small hair and small diseases do not care about it, has been equivalent to the medium level of doctors. I remember when I was in school, my teacher also used to joke that doctors are difficult and easy. One third of the diseases can be cured without treatment, one third of the diseases can be cured casually, only the other third of the diseases can really reflect the level of the doctor. Now that I think about it, these two statements have a similarity. From the patient’s point of view, with the improvement of living standards, people are more and more “concerned” about health, but we all forget that the human body is a complex and amazing system, there is a strong self-healing ability, the lifting of many diseases and pains is actually the body’s self-healing process, and sometimes eat the medicine is often just a placebo. But in reality, many people go to the hospital with minor ailments, and do not trust the community hospital in front of their homes, but must go to three hospitals to see a specialist clinic. In fact, there are some people who are not sick at all. There are many people who are able to heal themselves, but they have to go back to the hospital with a lot of medicine in a big bag to eat. Many people have to play tetanus antitoxin for a small cut on the hand, a bowl of onion and ginger soup for a cold and fever can be fixed but have to lose three days of antibacterial, the result is a good cold, the country’s drug resistance is getting stronger. The hospital is run diligently, a healthy lifestyle has never been developed. In the words of Zhang Zhongjing: competing for glory and power, and the power of the rich and powerful, but the fame and fortune is the business, Chong decorated its end, and neglected to abandon its essence, the outside of the Hua and the emaciated inside. I think if Zhongjing saw modern people, these words would be so angry that he would vomit blood before they were said! The day and night is reversed, hunger and satiety are out of order, smoking and drinking are uncontrolled, joy and anger are not regulated, life is irregular, biological clock is disrupted, do you think such a life is progress or regression for health? From a medical practitioner’s point of view, this phrase also has a meaning. For one thing, it reminds us that in modern medicine over-treatment, over-reliance on drugs and surgery is not uncommon, and for another, medical sub-specialties are becoming more and more detailed, which in some cases is not a good thing, because we are disintegrating patients, becoming more and more microscopic, and we are increasingly limited to treating a disease and neglecting the whole person! Many so-called specialists in clinical practice prescribe in less than two minutes, and even if they can cure the disease, they cannot be great doctors. This is because for Chinese medicine, individualized and holistic treatment is its unique advantage, putting the patient into the whole society, the whole environment, the whole heaven, earth and people to adjust, which is the characteristic of Chinese medicine. If we do not treat a disease, it does not mean that we do not treat the disease, but that we should not only treat the disease, but also treat the person and the heart. We should not only treat the disease, but also prevent it. We need to let people have more general knowledge about health, build a better lifestyle, learn how to exercise for health and disease prevention, and keep their body and mind healthy and happy. It is a good phenomenon that books on TCM health care have been selling well in recent years, but a calm look shows that many of the authors are not real doctors, and many of the concepts are only a half-understanding of TCM, and there are even many mistakes. Moreover, there is no professional body that really provides comprehensive medical and health care guidance to patients. Hopefully, one day, people will know which diseases need to be treated and which do not, and which diseases can be treated by themselves. And healers can give the public a truly comprehensive guide to health, not in a formal way, not limited to treating diseases, but also to prevent microscopic problems and prevent them from occurring in the first place, after all, in the view of Chinese medicine, to be able to cure a disease is nothing, treating the disease before it is the top work!
