Chinese medicine clinical must insist on TCM subject position

- gao wynn shandong university of traditional Chinese medicine

Modernization of traditional Chinese medicine development is inseparable from the support of western medicine, this is most people agree point of view. In the course of development of modern Chinese medicine, western medicine did give great support. However, Chinese medicine clinical protagonist cannot thus be changed. If Chinese clinical sing leading role, then it is no longer the TCM hospital is in tatters, is no longer true hospital.

Therefore, in Chinese medicine clinical must adjust the relationship between traditional Chinese medicine with western medicine, traditional Chinese medicine's main body status when cannot change.

In Chinese medicine, western medicine technology tools

For the traditional western support, from clinical practice look, should be limited to method level. That is, as a means or methods, western medicine can only service in Chinese medicine clinical, not dominate TCM clinical.

And then some, western medicine (TCM clinical YanRan become the protagonist of modern instrument testing, diagnosis, syndrome differentiation and treatment dispensable mainly; There's also the western medicine, western medicine, or even only Chinese crude drug compatibility reagent often into supporting role. Xiao called the hospital are usually based on western medicine and surgery primarily surgical and orthopedics etc.

Admittedly, in medical rapid development of modern society, some western advanced testing means and methods, indeed for the safety of the syndrome differentiation and treatment of TCM clinical accuracy and the role of played to escort. Especially for some nasty critically ill patients, through the diagnosis and treatment of modern instrument testing, the internal changes timely discovery disease, promptly properly, avoid the diagnosis and treatment of some of the clinical blindness. Similarly, modern surgical and for the development of Chinese orthopedic also provide enormous economic support.

But learn from western medicine advanced methods and techniques to use, the purpose is to improve Chinese clinical syndrome differentiation and treatment of TCM clinical level and made of disease in more depth, more grasp the essence, syndrome differentiation and treatment more refined, more accurate, efficacy level faster.

Western medicine or modern science of Chinese medicine is concerned, too, is always tool, is always the development services for Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine clinical protagonist is always in TCM, this is our TCM modernization in forever guiding ideology.

Combination of disease treatment, service in the syndrome differentiation and treatment

Objectively speaking, since of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine in clinical common after its launch, "disease differentiation" or "combination of disease treatment" became an essential stage TCM syndrome differentiation of the past, the process became now "disease differentiation + syndrome differentiation and treatment". It has become the modern Chinese clinical consensus that, before TDS, especially against some critical patients, the first modern medical diseases diagnosis or symptomatic treatment, and passed through the crisis in illness clear on syndrome differentiation and treatment again later.

The practice also proof, based on combination of disease and syndrome differentiation and treatment on the basis of more security and more scientific. This is also why TCM clinical medicine technology in widely and deeply rooted in the reason.

But, the disease differentiation of TCM clinical treatment is a matting, "TCM clinical syndrome differentiation" is the main process. Present in some cases (especially in hospitalized patients), the treatment process is "combination of disease treatment" in the "TCM sings leading role, syndrome differentiation" sometimes even minor players have not, at best is walk-on, dispensable.

The hospital is the place, XiYiYuan salving patients depends on the western medicine advantage, the TCM hospital should be on edge. If Chinese clinical not and treatment based on syndrome differentiation as the main body, what features and advantages in?

Combination of disease is to improve Chinese medicine clinical scientific level of differentiation in modern medical pathology diagnosis, under the premise of microscopic changes, the disease into the process of differentiation, syndrome differentiation, treatment more accurate more appropriate. If we in the clinical not promptly paradigm shifts, always with "combination of disease treatment" thinking guidance, then disease differentiation process of syndrome differentiation and treatment will not support and improve, but instead. This is the real "westernization".

Most patients are concerned, to the hospital for medical treatment, see the "cream, TCM is then, check-up", is like through the advantage of traditional Chinese medicine to heal diseases. If we disregard patient demand, still copy western medicine a set, or blindly seek maximum benefit, that will be the interests of patients, but also of infringement of the fundamental purpose against hospital.

Doctor-patient communication, TCM cannot aphasia

When patients have informed when necessary, use modern medicine words to explain the answer is necessary, because in many cases only in modern medical discourse to answer, can satisfy the demand. Familiar with Due to cultural differences, ancient Chinese traditional theory and terms with that will make many patients with falling fog.

But, to make Chinese real in the clinical sing leading role, it should not be limited to prominence during therapy in traditional Chinese medicine, characteristics and advantages while communicating with the patient also should apply the Chinese words to express. Through the communication, TCM discourse let the patient know Chinese medicine cure, know the truth to scientific character of TCM.

We use its features and advantages of traditional Chinese medicine for patients cured disease, and not with words of truth in the traditional Chinese medicine cures told patients listen, still needs western medicine words to explain, this is the dearth of traditional Chinese medicine.

After all, the advantage of TCM syndrome differentiation is not only reflected in the clinical process, the more reflected in its theoretical guidance. We treat for patients in the meanwhile, cannot put Chinese medicine theory contains advanced ideas across to them, the characteristics and advantages of TCM can't really be embodied. Only make people feel curative effect and that Chinese medicine cure of truth, people can really know Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine culture believe it is got real communication.

Must make clear, TCM clinical is the base of TCM culture dissemination. Only through the communication between the TCM clinical doctor-patient TCM culture can subtly dipped into the common people's heart.

So, not only to take the curative effect of TCM clinical fact, ignore theory study and communication. Ancient cultures, led to the difficulty of TCM culture dissemination, which requires the Chinese want to adapt the demand for social development, the TCM discourse as quickly as possible, in the modern transformation of traditional Chinese medicine with modern scientific deepening research at the same time, they will TCM theoretical expression of doctor-patient communication, change the modernization of western medicine aphasia frontman situation.

TCM propaganda, strengthening characteristic advantage

The market mechanism, hospitals under image campaigns is necessary, be helpful for promoting the social promotion and popularize TCM. But, TCM for self propaganda, must highlight TCM features, outstanding advantages, otherwise TCM constitute no propaganda purpose of traditional Chinese medicine.

Some current, not by the propaganda hospital for TCM clinical features and advantages, but its key points, especially the hardware construction of modern medical instrument and hospital equipment as pride in the capital of Chinese medicine clinical advantages, is understatement. This propaganda within less than propaganda slightest TCM clinical effect, because these hardware equipment is not Chinese clinical unique characteristics.

Even introduce clinical technology, also often pay attention to modern medical means and methods in the application of TCM, rarely have the traditional technology for the publicity of the traditional Chinese medicine on the traditional technology seems not fundamentally mesa, only the technology and methods of modern medicine to prop up the traditional medicine hospital appearance. This "inferiority" who lack of confidence from traditional Chinese medicine. CunYouSuoChang CheYouSuoDuan, medicine, each have their own advantages. The advantage of traditional Chinese medicine, and only by TCM oneself to maintain and propaganda.

Anyhow, TCM clinical is the stage for Chinese medicine assemble yourself, leading role should be TCM himself. Western medicine support or scientific support or the objective is to develop better, the main body status of traditional Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine will change as a result. This is Chinese people need firmly grasp.
