Chapter 1259: This Pot, TCM Won't Take

arly.I didn't want to bother with these three fools, but if they're looking for trouble, that's on them.This time, they journeyed smoothly, encountering no obstacles whatsoever. They didn't even see a...After Ye Bufan finished his answer, the scene fell briefly silent, followed by a wave of enthusiastic applause.

Especially in China, Yang Zhengdao directly applauded, this answer is really too clever.

First, disregarding Pan Guangfa's Chinese ethnicity based on the principle of medical equality, he was categorized simply as a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and Western medicine.

Then, through a clever analogy, the issue was succinctly explained, ultimately reducing Pan Guangfa's remarks to mere ramblings.

If we were to go by the rating system, this answer would definitely get a perfect score.

The audience, including Cao Xinghua below the stage, secretly raised their thumbs. The Immortal Doctor is truly an Immortal Doctor; his ability to respond to unexpected situations far surpasses that of ordinary people. If it were them, they absolutely couldn't do it to this extent.

Alice's eyes sparkled even more. This man always exceeded her expectations.

The only thing that was unsatisfactory was Pan Guangfa. He didn't expect that the pit he had painstakingly dug would be filled so easily by this young man.

The crowd applauded, but the reporters were somewhat unsatisfied. They wanted news material, they wanted conflict points, not such a brilliant answer.

Another reporter stood up and asked, "Mr. Ye, you said that one of the major advantages of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is its low treatment cost, making it affordable for ordinary people, right"

Ye Bufan nodded. "That's right."

The reporter continued, "But Mr. Pan just said that medical expenses in China are very low, even homeless people can go to hospitals in big cities for treatment."

It seems that this is not an advantage of traditional Chinese medicine. Even without famous figures in TCM, people can still diagnose diseases.

After the question was asked, a silence fell over the room again, as everyone waited to see how the young man would answer.

"Ye Bufan didn't answer the question directly, instead asking: "Mr. Reporter, I have a question for you. If I were a robber, pointing a gun at your head and demanding all your wealth, would you comply"

The reporter was taken aback for a moment. The question was clearly unexpected, but he still replied: "If such a situation were to happen, I would hand over all my wealth, after all, nothing is more precious than life."

Ye Bufan smiled faintly and asked again, "So, it means you're very rich, right"

The reporter shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, no. You're completely misunderstanding this. I only took out this money because I had to, and it has nothing to do with whether or not I have money. Logically, it just doesn't make sense."

"That's right, it makes sense. What was said just now doesn't hold water logically." Ye Bufan said solemnly, "Disease and armed robbers are alike, in the end they both aim to take a person's life."

To fight the disease and save their loved ones' lives, family members are willing to spend all their possessions on medical treatment.

Because the cost of treatment is too high, they are driven to bankruptcy, burdened with debt, and forced to sleep on the streets just to save a little money.

They didn't go to seek medical treatment because they were wealthy, but because they wanted to do everything in their power to save their loved ones' lives.

This is also a result of high treatment costs, and it cannot be taken as evidence that treatment costs are low.

Mr. Pan's words just now reversed cause and effect. If I had to evaluate them, I would say they were brainless and utter nonsense.

After this response, the audience erupted in thunderous applause once again.

On the other side of China, cheers erupted in front of television screens.

"Well done! The Immortal Doctor is the Immortal Doctor, speaking so eloquently. This guy is just full of hot air..."

"The Immortal Physician is right, I support you!"

"What a load of rubbish! Who elected this fool as president of the medical society How could someone so incompetent be in charge"

"I disagree. I demand a replacement. I demand that the Medical Immortal become the president!"

Although Pan Guangfa couldn't hear the scolding from Huaxia, Ye Bufan's words "nonsense" also made his face turn blue with anger, but he had no way to do anything about it.

I just dug a big hole with all my might, but it was easily leveled by someone else.

"Mr. Ye, I have one more question."

The reporter just now wasn't discouraged, and seemed determined to press the other person until he got an answer.

"If you have any questions, feel free to ask."

As a inheritor of ancient Chinese medicine, Ye Bufan doesn't mind these questions. What others find unanswerable is effortless for him.

Mr. Ye, my Chinese is quite good. I often browse some Chinese social media platforms like Weibo and Tieba.

I often see people complaining that after going to the hospital for treatment and taking traditional Chinese medicine, their condition did not improve but worsened, or they even experienced some side effects. Many people say that traditional Chinese medicine is useless and a scam. What's your take on this

It's clear that this reporter came fully prepared, having done their homework beforehand.

Ye Bufan smiled faintly: "You often visit the social platforms of our overseas Chinese. Have you ever seen a saying like this: 'To kill traditional Chinese medicine, you don't need a knife, just have Western medicine prescribe Chinese medicine.'"

Traditional Chinese Medicine is a very sophisticated medical system, and it would be an understatement to describe it as profound. It embodies the essence of five thousand years of Chinese culture.

To master Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a very long process. Currently, the situation is that some doctors who are from Western medicine hospitals strangely like to prescribe TCM products to patients.

Because traditional Chinese medicine has the characteristic of having few side effects, it generally won't kill people, so these doctors don't have any psychological burden.

If you have a cold, take honeysuckle flower, radix scutellariae, or Qingkailing granules. If you have a cough, take Sheganchuanbei oral liquid or Lianhuqingwen capsules.

If you have an IV, they will also add honeysuckle, bupleurum, and coptis chinensis to the injection.

And in fact, at Western medical schools in our Chinese country, the education on traditional Chinese medicine is almost zero. Over 99% of Western doctors don't understand TCM and its theories.

In such cases, they administer traditional Chinese medicine to the patients. After all, in their view, TCM is harmless and won't kill anyone. Patients feel at ease and are willing to accept it, and it also brings revenue to the hospital. Why not do it

Such a childish approach, do you expect it to cure the ailment Is that even possible

Therefore, in many cases, traditional Chinese medicine is right and Chinese herbal medicine is innocent, but it has been slandered by some people.

"In the end, I'll say this, Western medicine made the mistakes, and we traditional Chinese medicine practitioners won't take the blame."

After those words were spoken, a heavy silence fell over the room. Everyone present, who had experienced such situations before, fell into deep thought.

Cao Xinghua and others spontaneously raised their thumbs, they had encountered this situation before but hadn't thought about the specific reasons.

Now Ye Bufan's words hit the nail on the head, thought-provoking and pointing to the root of the problem.

Before the computer screen, Yang Zhendao fell into deep thought. This was indeed a matter worthy of attention.

In the future, more detailed regulations need to be established in the field of medical development. Otherwise, this would be irresponsible to patients and to traditional Chinese medicine itself.

Meanwhile, in front of television screens across China, many patients felt a deep sense of empathy. Ye Bufan's words immediately resonated with them.

"It turns out I was wrong about Traditional Chinese Medicine. People always say that TCM doesn't work, but how could Western medicine be more effective"

It seems that if you want to use traditional Chinese medicine in the future, you'll have to find a TCM practitioner. Don't just use it randomly...

"As expected of the Medical Immortal, you immediately found the root cause of the problem. From now on, we must also figure out where the problems lie and not just blame the family doctor..."ness, Master Dongfang actually used a sword! I've never seen him use one in all these years...""Indeed, it's said that the Heavenly Sword Technique of Heaven Dao Sect is unparalleled. To be able to pu...
