Sometimes the elders in my family really give me quite a headache:
1. My rhinitis has been tossing and turning for years, I had an operation 10 years ago, but in the last couple of years it has come back, and I just can't do anything about it, so I have to go to the doctor again.
2. We live in a first-tier city, but my mother went to the countryside to find a doctor, who was referred to her by my aunt.
3. In the past, when I had physical problems, I had several surgeries, all of which were handled by Western medicine, and I don't really believe in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). ...... I have tried TCM several times, and the results are not obvious.
4. To say that she does not care about the body, but the annual medical examination is not once.
5. Money is not a problem and health insurance is available.
I just can't figure out why it has to be a country doctor, not a famous doctor ...... What should I say to her?
Hello building owner:
As the old saying goes: a mountain is not high, but a fairy is famous; water is not deep, but a dragon is spiritual. When evaluating a person, you cannot just look at his fame, but also his professionalism and mentality.
～～～～ Like the owner said - the elders in the family are sometimes so boring!
Yeah, they're always making up their own minds, and they don't respect yours! They always make up their own minds and don't respect your ideas much, and it's normal for you to have resistance in your heart.
But think of it another way, they went through the trouble of finding a doctor because they were worried about your illness and cared about you. Otherwise, who would want to do such a thankless job?
～～～～1. rhinitis for many years and had surgery 10 years ago.
Don't expect surgery to be permanent. Some diseases, even if the surgery is successful, if you don't take care of yourself after surgery.
Feel free to toss your body when you think it's good;
Coupled with the pressures of work, life, and family, the body can't carry the load and doesn't have the time to get a good night's rest, and it's easy to relapse.
2. Don't believe in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) ...... tried a few times but the result is not obvious
Western medicine and Chinese medicine have their own strengths, Chinese medicine is indeed slow, but according to the owner, Chinese medicine has long been eliminated.
If Chinese medicine is really so divine and far superior to Western medicine, why do we still need to learn Western medicine?
The owner can be unconvinced because Chinese medicine is really not outstanding in certain aspects: but think back to the year 2020, when the whole country fought against the epidemic together, how did Chinese medicine perform at that time?
～～～～ Reference - Four Highlights of Chinese Medicine in the Fight Against Epidemics article:
The Jiangxia Square Cabin, which focuses on traditional Chinese medicine, opened on February 14 and closed on March 10, admitting 564 people in 26 days and curing 482, a cure rate of 85% (the average for other square cabins was only 70%).
Eighty-two (including 14 with underlying illnesses) got better, but were transferred away without being fully cured because the square pod was closing.
Crucially, the Jiangxia cabin was the only one of the 16 that didn't have any minor to major illnesses.
~ ~ Wuhan Qiaokou square cabin, basically no use of traditional Chinese medicine, the proportion of minor illnesses to serious illnesses is as high as 10%; and Western medicine-oriented Tongji Hospital took over the Wuhan Guanggu square cabin, admitted 875 patients, 184 people to serious illnesses, the conversion rate of 21%.
3. If it is said that one does not care much about one's health, yet one is examined every year.
Occasionally the nose is out of breath, or for a day or two there is indigestion, and the machine can't find out anything, because people always have a little something wrong with them a year.
Nor can it be said that running to the hospital often means that you value your health. Adopting good habits, such as eating a balanced diet, having a regular routine, exercising more, and maintaining a good mindset, is better than always running to the hospital.
Add a little more trivia:
Chinese medicine treats the disease by clearing the virus first, and when the virus is gone, the symptoms will disappear naturally. Western medicine is to suppress the symptoms first, the symptoms are gone, but the virus may not be clean, a cold or improper diet, it is easy to recur.
And after the surgery, the body resistance will be weakened. Acupuncture, moxibustion, tuina, Chinese medicine conditioning, gua sha, cupping, dietary therapy ...... these are very helpful for the prevention and recovery of chronic diseases.
-------- The world is diverse, cultures are diverse, truth is not unique, and medicine shouldn't be just one.
Here's a chat - China's reliable village doctors (thanks to Zhihu - a list of the 7 most famous doctors in ancient China)
From Shennong's Tasting of the Hundred Herbs
Magpie Medical Advice: Emphasis on Prevention Medical Status: Founder of Pulse Science
Bian Magpie is the grandmaster of Chinese medicine, who developed the four diagnostic methods of looking, smelling, questioning and cutting, which laid the foundation for the diagnosis of Chinese medicine.

Zhang Zhongjing loved to study medicine from a young age and "read a lot of books and indulged in the medical profession".
His theories contributed greatly to ancient medicine and the health of the common people, and modern research has benefited as well.
～～～Li Shizhen
Medical Claims: Emphasis on Materia Medica
Medical status: medicine sage
His family has been practicing medicine for generations, his grandfather was a "bell doctor" and his father, Li Yanwen, was a famous local doctor. At that time, the status of private doctors was low and they were often bullied.
Writings: "Materia Medica", "Examination of the Eight Channels of Qi Jing and Pulse", and "Pulse Study of the Lying Lake" stayed; "Examination of the Fate" and others were lost.
~Sun Simiao
Medical advocacy: advocating health care
Medical Status: King of Medicine

The Book of the Later Han states that Hua Tuo "knew a lot of scriptures and was good at health maintenance", and was especially "proficient in medicinal prescriptions".
Hua Tuo was the first Chinese surgeon to perform surgery, and the first in the world to invent the anesthetic drug "Ma Bo San" and the use of acupuncture to cure diseases.
The "Anabolics" opened a new path for surgical medicine.
～～～Qian B.
Medical status: sage of pediatrics, originator of juvenile medicine
............... The above content has nothing to do with psychology, but our cultural treasures are buried if we don't learn them properly, and many medical books have been lost.
I just can't bear to see this knowledge disappear and am sad - some people are too prejudiced against TCM.
As the saying goes, a good doctor doesn't just treat physical injuries, he also treats heart injuries and helps people find happiness and direction in life.
Lastly, I'd like to give the owner some TCM care tips (Source: Dr. Yurai):
1. Patients can try acupuncture, moxibustion or massage, TCM treats the root cause for a more complete recovery.
2. In the case of allergic rhinitis, anti-allergy medication must also be used, along with strengthening of the body.
3. In the case of atrophic rhinitis, it is important to take vitamin supplements, moisturize the skin, and not eat a diet that is too spicy or cold.
The owner can also keep the nose clean by washing it with a warm washcloth or warm water. Stay away from allergens such as pollen and dust. You can take some fire-clearing ones in your diet.
～～～～ The owner is really uneasy, you can take the Chinese medicine prescription to ask the Western doctor to see what to pay attention to.
A combination of Chinese and Western medicine may be a better cure, so give it a try.
Of course, we can't decide for the owner, we can only analyze it objectively.
There is still a long way to go in Chinese medicine, and if we do not look at it dialectically and try to learn, innovate and inherit, this valuable knowledge may be lost.
