Chapter 706 - 706 Intensive Care Unit
706 Intensive Care Unit
“Chinese medicine is all about scamming money. It’s useless even if you take medicine.”
“Don’t go to the traditional Chinese medicine hospital. Go to a Western doctor. You’ll be fine after taking two pills. They’re much better than traditional Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine is a scam. Such useless medical skills actually exist. What a joke.”
“Chinese medicine is really ridiculous. There’s no scientific basis at all. They’re simply lying to fools.”
There were too many words. These words came from people’s mouths. Even Chinese people would say this, let alone foreigners. This was really too disappointing.
Yes, it was undeniable that many traditional Chinese medicine practitioners nowadays were indeed inferior to others. They were not effective in treating people, and the fees were high. Moreover, the effect of the medicine was slow. However, one could not deny all Chinese medicine practitioners just because of this rat sh*t. Traditional Chinese medicine was definitely not as unbearable as people thought.
The difference between traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine was that the West always treated living things like humans as machines. They liked the methodical and scientific method. Everything had value and so on.
However, Chinese medicine emphasized on changes. It followed the Doctrine of the Mean. There was no absolute. Everything was just right.
Moreover, people were also treated like living people. Different people had different living habits and different bodies, so there would be different prescriptions to treat them.
Once the medicine was in place, the effect would definitely not be slow. A minor illness would be cured after a day or two. It would definitely not relapse.
This was not like Western medicine. A set of treatment methods was universal. No matter who it was, it was the same. No matter how different one’s body was from others, they would follow this template.
This was really a little ridiculous. Moreover, hospitals were so expensive now. Wasn’t this caused by Western medicine?
Thinking back to the olden days, how much did it cost to get a traditional Chinese medicine doctor to treat one’s illness? Those who didn’t have money could even pay with some eggs.
The Westerners were completely a tumor in the world. China had lived for thousands of years and developed for tens of thousands of years. After so many years, there were no major problems on Earth. Everything was all born according to nature.
In the end, as soon as the Westerners arrived, they started to destroy the Earth, industrialize, and destroy the environment. They even chanted that they wanted to protect the environment all day long. Since ancient times, every family had been burning firewood, and there was no air pollution. Now, they were blaming others for burning firewood.
Moreover, the Western world complied with material things, but never thought about complying with spirituality. They would only look at the surface. It was a complete contrast to China, who complied with the intrinsic and with spirituality.
Westerners did not even understand this world. They did not even know the 24 solar terms. However, they were active in studying alien planets, as well as researching machines and industries. What a joke.
Due to the prosperity of the West, China had been leaning towards the West in recent years. They started to not pay attention to their spirituality and internal affairs. However, Ye Xuan believed that in a few years, the power of the world would eventually return to China. They would let tens of thousands of countries come to the dynasty, learn Chinese culture, and follow nature.
At that time, he believed that everything would become good.
After the car stopped, Zheng Jianghao got out of the car and opened the back door to welcome Ye Xuan respectfully.
Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes and looked at the crowd in front of the hospital’s outpatient clinic. He was filled with emotions. The hospital was always the liveliest. The walls of the hospital heard more prayers than the church.
This was not good. This was not good at all.
The best situation in the hospital was that no one came. If the medicine turned to dust, that would be the best time.
Unfortunately, in this fast-paced era, with the attitude of people who never cared about maintaining their health, it was impossible for the hospital to suddenly not have any patients.
From Ye Xuan’s point of view, true prosperity and peace would be achieved when people repeatedly read Basic Questions and Spiritual Pivot from the Esoteric Scripture of the Yellow Emperor. They would know how to prevent diseases and how to nourish their health. They should also repeatedly read Tao Te Ching to gain wisdom, as well as to understand the rules of heaven and the earth. They should repeatedly read all kinds of ancient books to understand the principles of being human, morals, and all kinds of knowledge about this world.
At that time, people’s world would become free, simple, pure, and plain.
There were no more illnesses, no more wars, and no more ignorant people causing trouble. Everyone could live in peace. It was indeed a prosperous and peaceful world.
Unfortunately, he could only think about it. If he wanted the world to be too perfect, it would only be an obsession. His current life was actually already very good. At the very least, he would not go hungry again.
Ye Xuan thought about many things uneasily and sighed secretly. Sometimes, for some reason, many random thoughts would appear.
These distracting thoughts made his mind wander. It was indeed troublesome.
However, it didn’t matter if he thought about it occasionally.
At this moment, Ye Xuan had already squeezed through the crowd and entered the clinic. Then, he walked up the escalator and slowly walked towards the top floor.
Second Sister Ye Ying was the director of the traditional Chinese medicine consultation room on the top floor. She only received patients in the morning and only received five people in the morning. Those who wanted to see Second Sister Ye Ying had to make an appointment two months in advance. Otherwise, there would never be a seat.
However, the hospital would still inform Second Sister Ye Ying to come and take a look at guests who were seriously ill. Special circumstances were treated specially.
After a while, Ye Xuan arrived at the top floor. There were many doctor consultation rooms here and there were many patients. There was a long queue in front of each consultation room. It was very noisy, but it was not raucous.
Ye Xuan took a glance and squeezed in. Then, he went straight to Second Sister Ye Ying’s consultation room.
At this moment, there was no one outside the consultation room. It was very quiet. Ye Xuan thought that she should be done seeing five patients, so he went forward to open the door. However, there was no sign of Second Sister Ye Ying behind the desk inside the door. There was no one in the entire room.
“She’s not here?”
Ye Xuan muttered in confusion. He didn’t know where his Second Sister Ye Ying had gone, but just as he was puzzled, a voice came from behind.
“Xiao Xuan, your sister went to a meeting and will only come out later. Why are you in the hospital?”
Ye Xuan turned around and saw a female nurse in a nurse’s uniform. Ye Xuan knew this female nurse. In the past, when he came, he was often teased by her, so he naturally had a deep impression of her.
“I’m here to deliver food to my sister. In that case, I’ll take a walk.”
The female nurse looked at the thermos in Ye Xuan’s hand and nodded. Then, she smiled and spoke.
“Then be careful. Don’t follow strangers.”
With that, she pushed a small cart away. She was probably going to change the dressing of the patient in the inpatient department beside them.
Ye Xuan still felt lucky that he wasn’t teased, so he carried the thermos and walked around. He looked at the doctors here and then looked around at the hospital.
However, a hospital was still a hospital. As Ye Xuan strolled around, he heard a few cries. Furthermore, he heard them several times. He also saw some people crying as they walked out of the doctor’s consultation room weakly. He also saw some unconscious people being carried to the intensive care unit on stretchers.
