Joke?
Feng Yuan looked at his own hands.
Rheumatoid arthritis also seems to fall into the category of incurable diseases.
But after Lu Jiu's treatnt, he indeed felt his body gradually improving.
This is an effect that no Western dicine currently can achieve.
Clearly, the disease deed a chronic terminal illness by modern dicine, why does traditional Chinese dicine have efficacy, and even without so-called post-dication side effects?
Could it be that modern dicine is actually not as advanced as traditional Chinese dicine in understanding diseases?
Denying oneself is a very difficult thing.
Especially for soone who has been deeply rooted in their field for many years.
Feng Yuan studied Western dicine for twenty to thirty years, spent half his life on it, yet he still wants to change.
Not for anything else, he just wants to know if his ailnt is just a so-called exception, or if traditional Chinese dicine truly has its ways.
He wouldn't, like in TV dramas, proclaim soone a miracle doctor just because they cured a terminal illness.
It's understandable for regular people to act this way, but if a doctor were to behave like that, it would undoubtedly be an insult to the profession.
Because if there's a thod that can effectively cure patients, if it cannot form a theory to be widely publicized, allowing more people to understand, learn, and master it to relieve millions of patients' suffering, but instead, it is portrayed as a miracle, Feng Yuan feels it's sowhat putting the cart before the horse.
This is also why Feng Yuan wants to learn traditional Chinese dicine.
He wants to understand the logic behind traditional Chinese dicine's healing.
Of course, he could also consult with Lu Jiu, but without even understanding the basics of traditional Chinese dicine, going would be in vain.
"Director Feng, why are you not speaking, do you also think Behçet's disease is a joke?" Dr. Qin asked.
Feng Yuan said, "Not really, everyone has different perspectives on disease, maybe traditional Chinese dicine has its unique aspects in this area, just that we don't understand it."
Dr. Qin said, "Anyway, I am now completely convinced of traditional Chinese dicine. Director Wang's nasal tumor, your rheumatoid arthritis, and now even this patient's Behçet's disease are all things we cannot handle, yet this traditional Chinese practitioner nad Lu Jiu has apparently almost cured them. Well, not just almost; Director Wang's tumor hasn't even recurred so far."
Feng Yuan laughed, "What, you want to learn traditional Chinese dicine as well?"
Dr. Qin waved his hand, "What should I learn from it for? In dicine, without spending a decade or two on research, nothing substantial is achieved. I'm already in my mid-thirties, switching to traditional Chinese dicine now may never lead to success, ending up not proficient in either, wouldn't that hinder my progress?"
Having worked hard to beco an attending physician, changing to study traditional Chinese dicine would make all past efforts go down the drain, wouldn't it?
Besides, switching to traditional Chinese dicine wouldn't get him a raise, so what's the use of learning it?
Feng Yuan said, "Don't you think if traditional Chinese dicine can cure these diseases, finding the thod and promoting it is a very worthwhile endeavor?"
Dr. Qin laughed, "You overestimate . It's enough for to earn a bit of salary to support a family; overly noble ideals don't suit ."
...
New Year's Eve, reunion dinner.
The Lu Family finally managed to gather together.
Lu Feng is the eldest, Lu Jiu's father is second, followed by third uncle Lu Yuan, fourth aunt Lu i, and youngest aunt Lu Qin.
Lu Feng has a son and a daughter; the son is studying abroad and can't return. The third uncle has two sons, who played around in their early years, one with a college degree, the other a three-year college level, both working out of town. The fourth aunt married a lawyer, has a good family condition, with three daughters in total, the eldest is already married, the youngest is only ten. The youngest aunt has only one daughter, about the sa age as Lu Shuang, with average family conditions.
Lu Mountain's five children, though not being extraordinarily wealthy, have attained a level of moderate prosperity.
In the hotel, Lu Feng booked a big private room, enough to seat twenty to thirty people.
Looking at the full house of children and grandchildren, Lu Mountain was especially happy.
Every year at this ti is when he is the happiest.
Of course, it's also a day of great expense.
Whether grandsons or granddaughters, Lu Mountain treats everyone equally, with the sa standard for all the red envelopes.
"Hey, co over here, I'm video-calling our brother," Lu Shuang shouted.
Lu Jiu was teasing the fourth aunt's eldest daughter's newly born baby, and upon hearing Lu Shuang's call, he also slowly walked over.
Lu Shuang's brother is nad Lu Ming, and he's just a year older than Lu Jiu.
Since both were academic stars from a young age and attended the sa school, naturally they share a close bond.
However, since Lu Ming went abroad, due to ti differences, they seldom contact each other.
"Hello, Lu Jiu." On the phone, Lu Ming had a face full of stubble, looking particularly haggard, with the background still showing lighting, obviously having just woken up.
Lu Jiu laughed, "To make this call, you must have set an alarm for the middle of the night."
Lu Ming laughed heartily, "No choice, if I don't do that, I truly can't get up."
Lu Jiu asked, "When are you coming back to the country?"
Lu Ming said, "Soon, I'll return once I finish my project, by the way, want to guess what I'm filming?"
Lu Jiu laughed, "News, on social issues?"
Lu Ming shook his head, "I'll give you a hint, it's sothing you know best."
Sothing I know best?
Lu Jiu showed a strange expression, "Traditional Chinese dicine?"
Lu Ming snapped his fingers, "Correct, it's traditional Chinese dicine."
Lu Jiu looked even more puzzled, "Why are you filming this?"
Lu Ming pursed his lips, "This might trace back to three years ago, when I had just gone abroad and encountered an epidemic. Later, our entire class didn't get infected, even if infected none beca severely ill, do you know why?"
"Acupuncturist, there are many acupuncture clinics here in De Hans, our school alone has several, but the really remarkable acupuncturist happens to be from Huaxia. Due to grandpa's influence, I have so trust in traditional Chinese dicine, and since back then vaccines weren't developed yet and I had a slight cold, I went to him."
"As a result, with his help, I haven't been infected once these three years, or maybe I was infected, but basically, anyti I felt unwell, I went to him, so I never showed post-positive symptoms. anwhile, many classmates and teachers in our class, whether it's minor ailnts or infections, severe ones, were all sent by to him, and without exception, he cured them all."
"After two to three years, that acupuncturist has beco very remarkable in De Hans. Let's put it this way, appointnts with him are scheduled two years in advance, and his prices are frightfully steep, a single needle costs one thousand Euro. Of course, the fees for Huaxians and the poor are different, so really can't afford it, he treats them for free."
"Even so, there are countless people seeking his treatnt, especially so wealthy individuals, they don't even bother with vaccines, directly flying over to find him. De Hans has started paying more attention to acupuncturists, I've fild for about a year and a half, and currently, there are more than 5000 acupuncture clinics in De Hans, with the number still increasing, as the local governnt is encouraging acupuncturists to take on apprentices."
"Sotis, without going abroad, you don't realize the good in dostic things, but upon seeing foreigners treat our stuff as treasures while we disdain it, it feels quite uncomfortable. Do you know the most heart-wrenching words I've heard during my over-a-year-long filming and interviews?"
"A De Hans person said acupuncture belongs to them!"
