Chapter 852: Rehabilitating the Name of Acupuncture
The old man looked at the silver needle in Ye Shu's hand, and a look of fear subconsciously flashed in his eyes.
He was visibly agitated and had something to say.
But because he had been fiercely resisting the collection of fingerprints before, Ye Shu didn't notice any difference in his excitement at this moment.
So, before the old man could finish his words, he was knocked unconscious by Ye Shu's injection.
Ye Shu raised his chin towards Xiao Gao and said, "Let's get started."
There was silence all around. Except for Xiao Gao and the soldiers of the cycling team, almost everyone was shocked by her actions.
When dealing with Wang Cuilan before, Ye Shu's actions had shocked some doctors and nurses, and caused quite a stir in the hospital at the time.
We discussed this for a long time.
Now, more people have seen it with their own eyes and finally have the most intuitive impression of the event at the center of this storm, "Ye Shu Acupuncture".
Doctor Yang was the most excited. He clasped his hands together, his body trembling, and muttered to himself, "I'll tell you!"
Ye Shu's eyes fell on the acupuncture bag in his hand.
To restore the reputation of acupuncture, it is better to do it today than to wait for a day!
She looked around and suddenly spoke seriously, "I'm sure everyone knows by now why we gathered you in the hospital today to collect your fingerprints."
"Because someone reported that I was practicing feudal superstition by using acupuncture to treat illnesses."
She paced slowly in the ward, without any hurry, and each step was steady and calm.
The rhythm is completely in her own hands.
She took out a silver needle from her acupuncture kit, gestured on the old man's body, and continued, "What is feudal superstition? It's a feudal and unscientific idea, such as believing in ghosts and legends!"
She said this, but actually she felt a little uneasy.
After all, if there were no legends about gods and ghosts, neither she nor Huo Yisheng would have the chance to be reborn.
She continued, "However, the things passed down by our ancestors are not all feudal superstitions. There are many treasures and valuable experiences among them!"
"For example, our country's four great inventions—the compass, papermaking, printing, and gunpowder—were all invented by our ancestors! They have nothing to do with the West. Can you say they're just feudal superstition?"
Doctor Yang was the first to agree: "Of course not! This is all science! It was our ancestors who first discovered science! Science is not a Western monopoly! Our ancestors were also very smart!"
Ye Shu nodded: "Yes! That's right!"
"We were just a little behind at one point, we weren't always behind from the beginning!"
"We were once a vast ancient nation in the East. Back then, all the Western nations were foreign towns! When our civilization reached its peak, they were just a bunch of bandits! So, why should we encourage their ambitions and destroy our own prestige?!"
Doctor Yang applauded: "Well said!"
As she applauded, many doctors, nurses and patriotic people nearby followed suit.
The applause lasted for a long time!
Accompanied by waves of responses: "Well said!"
Ye Shu nodded and half-raised his hand to signal, and the applause and responses gradually subsided.
She continued, "Let's talk about Traditional Chinese Medicine again! Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs and discovered that some ingredients in Chinese herbs are beneficial or harmful to the human body!"
"Beneficial things can be made into medicine to cure diseases and save lives! Toxic things can be made into poisons. Even some poisons can be used to save lives based on medical and pharmacological principles! For example, Ma Fei San! It's the anesthetic we use today!"
"So, why is Chinese medicine being labeled feudal superstition? It's rubbish! It's a blasphemy against our ancestors' culture!"
"Even if some people truly forget their roots and don't acknowledge their ancestors, and believe that Chinese medicine is all wrong, then why are some Western medicine ingredients extracted from traditional Chinese medicine?"
Ye Shu became more and more excited as she spoke, because she knew that the development of traditional Chinese medicine was really difficult.
Many traditional Chinese medicine hospitals and many outstanding traditional Chinese medicine doctors suffered severe blows and destruction during this period, and some were forced to change careers.
For the traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese medicine industry, the losses were heavy, and many precious materials and books disappeared.
After this chaotic period, with the restoration of some disciplines in Chinese medicine colleges and hospitals, Chinese medicine and Chinese medicine had a chance to breathe and develop again.
But in fact, there has never been a clear document stating that traditional Chinese medicine is feudal superstition.
It's just that some people with ulterior motives deliberately suppressed it, deliberately created trouble, and even dragged Chinese medicine into the abyss of feudal superstition for their own selfish interests!
But this is wrong!
Ye Shu: "Feudal superstitions are just some fantastical, unrealistic methods of healing, such as drinking talisman water, drinking random folk remedies and so on! That is indeed feudal superstition, it is a deadly poison, and it is not advisable! Because these have no scientific or medical basis at all, not only will they not cure the disease, they may even cost you your life!"
"But! Regular Chinese herbal medicine is preferable!"
She wanted to say that a formal Chinese medicine prescription needed to be prescribed by a formal Chinese medicine hospital and a formal doctor, but considering the current environment, where can you find a formal Chinese medicine hospital open to the public?
So I just stopped talking.
Just continue with her main purpose today, which is to put acupuncture in the spotlight.
She said, "Everyone just saw it. My acupuncture to make them sleep isn't some feudal superstition. It's based on science and medicine!"
She took out the human acupuncture point map that she had prepared long ago from her handbag and unfolded it.
Xiao Gao stepped forward to help lift it up and show it to everyone.
It also made it easier for Ye Shu to explain: "This is a map of the human body's acupuncture points. There are 362 acupuncture points on the human body..."
She held up a needle, pointed it at an acupuncture point, and said, "I just pierced this spot to make them fall asleep. I can make people fall asleep, but I can also wake them up. This is scientifically proven. Anyone want to try it?"
"It can cause hemiplegia, but it can also help people with slow movements and blocked meridians gradually regain their mobility."
"This is the acupuncture and physiotherapy method passed down by our ancestors!"
"Who is so unscrupulous as to call such a well-founded treatment method feudal superstition? Before Western medicine was introduced to my country, did we rely on luck to survive until today?"
Her impassioned speech silenced everyone around her.
After a while, Dr. Yang took the lead, and Dr. Wang and others echoed: "That's right! We can't simply write off Traditional Chinese Medicine! We must discard its dross and retain its essence! We must promote and carry forward the correct theories of our ancestors!"
Ye Shu felt relieved after receiving such a response.
She couldn't completely change the overall environment of the country, but since Wumu Town was an area under the control of the Huo Yisheng brothers, she wanted to protect the development of traditional Chinese medicine in this area. She didn't ask for absolute inheritance, but at least she wanted to protect it a little bit!
At this moment, the soldier recording the fingerprints said, "It's confirmed. The fingerprints of this old man and woman are on both the envelope and the letter paper!"
