Chapter 528: Keeping pace with the times

 "These crazy people!"

 "Free clinic?"

"free?"

It is simply shocking. In fact, good doctors are the same regardless of their origins. The East has a fine tradition of free clinics, and the West also has saints who treat diseases for free. There are always good people among doctors, but the free clinics of traditional Chinese medicine in East Africa have formed After being institutionalized, this kind of charity behavior made German doctors very touched, with disdain, jealousy, admiration, emotion... and so on.

 The traditional Chinese medicine practitioners in East Africa don't care what they think of the German doctors. Now they want to give traditional Chinese medicine a reputation. They cannot let the things of their ancestors be lost. Not only must they not be lost, but they must also carry them forward.

In order to promote traditional Chinese medicine, the East African Traditional Chinese Medicine Association headed by Li Ge was established. Of course, it was registered with Ernst, that is, Ernst. Otherwise, it would be difficult to pass the test in a country with German culture, such as India. Ernst would definitely not approve of those miscellaneous medical schools.

The East African government is quite supportive of this spontaneous act of sending TCM doctors to rural areas for free clinics. East Africa is short of talent, and doctors are a scarce talent resource in any era.

"President Li, are you still reading that book "Cytology"?"

"Yes, Mr. Wei! Whether you admit it or not, those tiny organisms under the microscope exist objectively. We Chinese medicine doctors can't pretend not to see it. The development of the times has given us a better understanding of the world, so Chinese medicine doctors should make up for their lessons better. , carry forward this knowledge."

"That's what you said. When I saw the cells and microorganisms on our skin through a microscope in that kind of laboratory, I was really shocked beyond words. It impacted my world view. But I'm older, otherwise I would be the same as you. Together, we will delve into new paths of traditional Chinese medicine."

"Haha, you just said that, but in fact you were more anxious than anyone else. I saw that a few days ago you were reading a Western medicine book on human anatomy all night long."

After being exposed, Wei Jin did not say anything. As an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor, he also had some integrity. Of course, after being exposed to Western science in East Africa, Wei Jin was greatly shocked. At the same time, he was also worried about the development of traditional Chinese medicine. The so-called master The barbarians developed skills to control the barbarians, and the Wei and Jin Dynasties also planned to find a way out for the development of traditional Chinese medicine.

Li Ge can be regarded as one of the founders of new Chinese medicine in East Africa. They have relatively mature medical experience in the Far East. Their level may not be considered top-notch, but they are still in the first echelon. After all, the Far East Empire also has a good reputation and cannot send any nonsense to East Africa. Of course, this is also the result of the beating in East Africa. Otherwise, according to the virtues of the Far East Empire's bureaucrats, they might really send some liars to East Africa to fool them. Unfortunately, Ernst knew them too well.

"Wei Lao, you don't have to feel any burden. We people have heavy tasks. Studying is not a shame. The career we are engaged in will be unlimited in the future."

"I know this, and you also know that I am good at surgery. After looking at Westerners' research on human body structure, I found that we are indeed far behind. They can even draw every blood vessel quite clearly. This is very similar to our meridians, but in terms of rigor, we lack some of it, and treating diseases is a serious matter, as the saying goes, a slightest mistake can make a thousand miles."

No wonder the Wei and Jin Dynasties always talked about Westerners. In fact, since they boarded the pirate ship in East Africa, they couldn't even think about getting off. When they returned to the Far East, they would be stabbed in the back by some old scholars, so they simply took the family back. Go to East Africa to live. Here, being a doctor is a respectable profession and has some social status.

Of course, some habits in the Far East cannot be changed. After all, he is older and some things are more stubborn. Unlike Li Ge, who calmly took East African citizenship and gave him a German name in order to develop the cause of traditional Chinese medicine in East Africa. The pinyin of his name was changed, with the first name at the front and the surname at the back, making it easier to move around in East Africa.

"Li Ge, I heard that you are currently engaged in some kind of reform of traditional Chinese medicine preparations. How is it? Is it effective?"

"Just like that! In fact, traditional Chinese medicine is best suited to be boiled directly. However, we are in the era of industrialization. If Chinese medicine wants to enter the market in the future, it must also do so. So I also thought about making Chinese medicine into small tablets. Or plaster."

"Will it affect the effect of traditional Chinese medicine?" "There must be some influence, some good and some bad. Some are better after being made into medicines, and some are useless. But there are many Chinese medicine prescriptions, and we are not afraid of tinkering. We just follow them casually. You can find treasures in the prescriptions passed down by our ancestors, and no other medicine can match ours." Li Ge said with some arrogance.

"And, you don't know, His Royal Highness, there are many treasures there. When I mentioned the prescriptions to him, he took me to see his collection of books. Did you know? Many of them are royal medical classics and ancient Chinese medicine books from past dynasties. Only one copy! Those books alone are enough for me to explore for a while."

 "The Crown Prince is still interested in Chinese medicine?"

"It's hard to say, but his collection of oriental classics and antiques is really dazzling. The medical books alone are stored in two warehouses."

This is not a waste of Ernst's. His books are collectibles and antiques, so the storage requirements are high. Naturally, they cannot just put the books on the shelves and let them go like an ordinary library. They need to be handled by professionals. Maintenance to prevent damage from borers, rats and other damage.

"Since the crown prince treasures these ancient books so much, can he let you flip through them at will?"

"Of course that's impossible, but the Crown Prince also said that books are for people to read and are a medium for transmitting knowledge, so he specifically asked me to find someone to copy it, hoping it would be helpful to us."

Of course, Ernst hopes that the medical industry in East Africa can develop, and Li Ge, a group of traditional Chinese medicine doctors who bring their own dry food to invest in the new traditional Chinese medicine industry, naturally need to support it. Anyway, East Africa will not suffer losses, and with the assistance of Li Ge and others , a large number of pharmaceutical patents have been registered in East Africa.

 At present, traditional Chinese medicine in East Africa is walking on two legs, one is the innovative path led by Li Ge, and the other is the old school who is unwilling to accept reality.

But Ernst doesn't care, each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Li Ge's new traditional Chinese medicine is basically a modernization of traditional Chinese medicine combined with modern science. The problems encountered are actually the same as modern medicine. The initial road is bumpy, but it is better than that in the West. The transition from traditional medicine to modern medicine is much smoother.

  After all, there are too many written records of traditional Chinese medicine. Even if only 10% are useful, they are not comparable to Western traditional medicine.

 The development of modern Western medicine in East Africa is currently going smoothly, but due to the short time in East Africa, clinical trials are the main focus.

As for theoretical innovation and scientific research, it is mainly carried out in Europe. After European laboratories and research institutes produce results, they will be tested in East Africa. There is a large black population in East Africa, so it is very simple to find patients as experimental subjects to test drugs.

It is precisely because of this that the clinical medicine of Western modern medicine in East Africa can develop rapidly. After all, there is a lot of experimental material. Of course, not only Western modern medicine, but other medicines have also benefited from this.

It can be said that black people have made important contributions to the development of medicine in East Africa and have played the role of guinea pigs, and they are much more reliable than guinea pigs.

Of course, it cannot be said that East Africa is cruel. Experimenting with medicine and surgery is not necessarily a bad thing for black people, especially in this era. If the indigenous people in West Africa are injured and sick, they basically have to wait for death, and it is impossible for anyone to treat them.

This is just like India in the previous life. Of course they know that the West treats India as a drug testing factory, but they are still happy with it. This kind of thing is what you and I are willing to do.
