Chapter 104 Questions and Controversies

In the conference room.

Wang Mengde carefully sat at the end.

At this time, several presidents and vice presidents of the institute, as well as the heads of several research institutes, and some directors and deputy directors, were all sitting here in order.

In front of them was a booklet. Dean Lu had someone copy more than a dozen copies of it and gave one to each person present.

"Everyone is here. The reason for calling everyone to the meeting today is mainly because Comrade Wang Mengde from our research institute presented a prescription for treating lijie disease."

“This booklet contains detailed records of numerous case histories, dialectical methods, dozens of prescriptions, etc. When I first received this booklet, I was a little skeptical.

I showed it to several gentlemen who have studied rickets. After their analysis, I also verified it according to the content. The result surprised me. The effect was unexpectedly good. "

Dean Lu spoke first.

As he spoke, he happily raised the booklet in his hand and shook it.

After hearing what the dean said, everyone turned their attention to the real person.

Wang Mengde was not at all flustered, nor did he look proud or complacent. He just sat there and listened carefully.

"Next, let Comrade Wang Mengde talk about the research process and results."

After saying this, Dean Lu clapped his hands, and everyone else followed suit.

When Wang Mengde heard the dean call his name, he stood up quickly. When the applause stopped, he said slowly, "Dear leaders and gentlemen, there are still many shortcomings in the content of this booklet. I hope to receive your criticism."

After a humble remark, he continued in the direction of Pu Lao: "Before introducing the process and results of the research, I would like to thank my husband. It was he who selflessly taught me the knowledge and prescriptions, and gave me the opportunity to try it myself.

During the past six months, because of my fame, I attracted a large number of patients with syphilis. In the process of diagnosing and treating hundreds of patients, I recorded their symptoms, disease progression and treatment in detail.

Finally, I summarized the prescriptions that the teacher gave me and analyzed them carefully. Based on them, I combined them with many ancient prescriptions and came up with a dialectical method for different symptoms, as well as dozens of prescriptions. "

Wang Mengde briefly recounted the process of his research.

“Haha, this time the research on rickets was mainly done by him alone. I gave him some guidance at the beginning, but I was powerless in the later stages.

My student is not only talented, but also hardworking and studious. As far as I know, he studies until very late every day after get off work, so his medical skills improve rapidly.

Now he works with me on the consultation, and he can diagnose and treat most of the patients independently.”

Pu Lao pinched his beard and said proudly.

"I can testify to this. Xiao Wang is very talented. In some aspects of acupuncture research, he has surpassed me." Vice President Zhu added with a smile.

"Oh, Xiao Wang's acupuncture skills are so good!" Dean Lu said in surprise.

He and Vice President Zhu were from the same school, and he knew that she didn't like to talk nonsense. Since she said that, it must have really happened.

Several other vice presidents and directors of the research institute also envied:
"Master Pu really accepted a good disciple!"

"Sure enough, a hero comes from a boy."

"In a few decades, we will probably have another master in traditional Chinese medicine."

Seeing that the meeting was about to turn into a praise meeting, Dean Lu quickly stopped them and said, "Enough, comrade Wang Mengde is still young, don't praise him too much.

By the way, everyone here should have read the contents of the booklet in advance, is there anything else you would like to add?"

After hearing this, the others looked at each other and shook their heads.

The contents of this booklet took Wang Mengde a long time to complete, and with Pu Lao's supervision, it was really difficult for them to find any problems.

Just as Dean Lu was about to speak, someone suddenly stood up. It was Xia Yiqing, the deputy director of the Internal Medicine Department of the Internal Medicine Research Institute. He said loudly:
"Dean, I have a question."

"Deputy Director Xia, if you have any questions, please speak up."

"That's right. I have no problem with the dialectical methods and prescriptions in this booklet, but I found that the booklet is not comprehensive. There are many special cases that are not recorded in it."

Xia Yiqing said with a smile and nodded at Wang Mengde.

After hearing his words, everyone couldn't help but frown.

This statement seems too harsh. After all, human resources are limited. How can an individual come into contact with all cases of the disease? It is already a great achievement if one can solve most of the cases that are commonly encountered.

He is obviously finding fault with everything.

But what he said was true, and no one could refute it.

Pu Lao was so angry that he glared and was about to start scolding. Wang Mengde quickly stood up and said, "Deputy Director Xia, the situation you described does exist. It's all because I'm too young and inexperienced.

Deputy Director Xia is well-informed and must have encountered many special cases. I hope you can help me by telling me some cases and treatment plans so that I can add them. It just so happens that I also record the cases I encounter later, so we can summarize them and update them into the second edition. "

He knew that Deputy Director Xia Yiqing was a competitor of his teacher.

It is said that the director of the Institute of Internal Medicine will be assigned to other positions in the near future, and the position of director will be vacant. The two people with the greatest chances are him and Pu Lao.

Xia Yiqing's advantage is that he is younger, he is just over 50 years old. Pu Lao has many advantages, he is not only a famous Chinese medicine expert with superb medical skills, but also the health doctor of "President Zhou".

Moreover, the two of them were competing over "orthodoxy". He was the successor of the Cold Damage School and was usually petty-minded. Although Pu Lao was also a leader of the Cold Damage School, he was not recognized by him.

Wang Mengde said this with a smile and was very polite.

But when Xia Yiqing heard it, it was different. His face started to look ugly and he didn't know how to answer for a moment.

He has seen many special cases of rickets, but he has no way to treat some of them. He can only use some popular prescriptions, but he cannot guarantee whether they will be effective.

Besides, even if he had a treatment method and provided it to Wang Mengde, it would be a problem whether his name should be put on the booklet.

If it was signed, Wang Mengde's name would definitely be in front. His name would be at the back, and he would be overshadowed by a junior. He really couldn't afford to lose face in this regard. If it wasn't signed, wouldn't that be making things easier for others?

Just when he was in a dilemma, Dean Lu made the final decision: "Deputy Director Xia, since Comrade Wang Mengde asked you for help, you will have to work harder."

"Yes, Dean." Dean Lu spoke, and he didn't dare to disobey, so he had to pinch his nose and agree.

Seeing that this matter had come to a conclusion, Dean Lu smiled again and said happily:
“After the meeting, please take a few months to verify whether there are any problems with the dialectical methods and prescriptions in this booklet.

At the same time, Comrade Wang Mengde, please continue your research and strive to improve the content and add more cases and prescriptions.

A few months later, if there are no problems, I will report this matter again and suggest that the higher authorities organize the printing of a batch of copies and distribute this booklet to major research institutes, hospitals and clinics. "

After saying that, he saw that several people looked like they were about to leave the meeting room at any time, so he continued, "Everyone, don't worry, there is one more thing later."

"Dean, please tell me what you want to say. I still need to study acupuncture techniques with Comrade Wang Mengde."

Vice President Zhu was sitting next to him and said with an urging expression on his face.

In the research institute, apart from a few senior colleagues, she was the only one as a 'junior sister' who could speak to Dean Lu like this.

"Haha, don't be anxious. Before we talk about this, I need everyone to promise that no one can bring it up outside this meeting room before it's finalized."

Dean Lu said seriously.

Seeing his expression, everyone was startled, including Vice President Zhu, who nodded in agreement.

Wang Mengde was deeply moved, knowing that he was protecting himself, fearing that someone would use this incident to attack him.

"I have a prescription here. Please pass it around." President Lu took out two pieces of paper from the bag beside him and handed them to Vice President Zhu first.

After Vice President Zhu finished reading it, he passed it on to others. Soon, after one round, everyone except Mr. Pu and Wang Mengde had read it.

After reading it, some people were in deep thought, some looked doubtful, and some were dismissive.

They were all experts in the field of traditional Chinese medicine and could tell at a glance that this prescription was effective and was prescribed to treat the symptoms of rickets.

Originally, this kind of prescription for treating the disease could be prescribed by not only them, but also their apprentices and even some of their grand-apprentices. What surprised them was that this prescription was actually taken out by President Lu.

Moreover, the use of drugs is very bold, some of which even go against common sense, but if you think about it carefully, they do make sense.

"Dean, what is this prescription?" Old Zhang asked first.

"This is the recipe also contributed by Comrade Wang Mengde. Let him explain it to everyone." Dean Lu said, motioning Wang Mengde to explain it to everyone.

“Dear leaders and gentlemen, everyone should know that there are great differences in eating habits between China and foreign countries. Foreign countries, especially in Europe and the United States, are accustomed to eating beef, seafood, and drinking beer.

These are the causes of syphilis. I have read in a medical journal of the institute that the prevalence of syphilis in Europe and the United States is about 0.2%, or even higher, which is much higher than the prevalence in China. "

After receiving the dean's signal, Wang Mengde stood up and did not explain the prescription first. Instead, he talked about the relationship between foreign eating habits and the onset of rickets.

"What does that have to do with this recipe?"

Xia Yiqing raised his head, stared at him and asked.

"This prescription can be made into Chinese patent medicine in large quantities and sold abroad through certain channels," Wang Mengde said with a smile.

"No!"

"what?"

When they heard that Chinese patent medicine was going to be made and exported abroad, several people present could no longer sit still and spoke out to stop it.
