Confidence” is the first bridge between doctors and patients to reach a consensus
For example, when we go to a Western medical clinic, we may first go through several steps, such as blood sampling, tomography, and so on, to determine the condition through various advanced instruments, which can directly provide concrete data for this kind of diagnosis, which is highly visible and relatively acceptable to patients. In contrast, Chinese medicine is more inclined to the treatment of disorders, and the judgment of the disease is based on the patient’s pulse, voice, and color, or the diagnosis of the disorders of the internal organs, the five internal organs, the six internal organs, and the three yin and three yang through the 14 meridians to diagnose the disorder of the internal organs, the six internal organs, the three yin and three yang, Chinese medicine emphasizes the science of qi.Although it is not possible to generate actual data as in the case of Western medicine, the doctor is able to diagnose and grasp the patient’s condition in a short period of time, although the patient is unable to tell the doctor the evolution of his or her past medical history in a short period of time, so the hit rate is also acceptable to the patient.
From the perspective of Chinese medicine, when I see a patient, it is my custom to first grasp the patient’s physical disorder and then tell the patient what disease or warning sign he is suffering from, such as a diagnosis of weak kidney qi, liver disorder, poor blood circulation, etc., and then let the patient verify it himself so that he can have confidence, which is very important. If a patient does not have confidence in the doctor, he will not actively take the medication prescribed by the doctor’s diagnosis. If the doctor can diagnose and explain before the patient opens his mouth, the patient can judge whether the doctor has a good grasp of his condition.
Chinese and Western medicine sometimes complement each other in the treatment of medical conditions. For example, if you have been tested by Western medical equipment for certain medical conditions (diabetes, uremia, or myomas, tumors, lumps, etc.) and then turn to a Chinese medicine practitioner, it is important to remember to explain these actual data to the Chinese medicine practitioner before proceeding with symptomatic treatment.
There are tens of thousands of types of medicines, and it is very important for doctors to get the right herbs for the patients, so that the patients can be cured. In the case of Chinese medicine, it is aimed at “adjusting the body’s constitution” to get rid of the disease, such as the patient’s body aches and pains, tumors, and blood circulation obstruction, etc. Unlike Western medicine, which contains so-called painkillers, the effect of Chinese medicine is not immediately obvious; or in Western medicine, the discomfort of diabetes is relieved quickly by giving pancreatic-conducting chemical drugs, and some of the treatments in Chinese medicine will even be more painful and itchy in the first few days, but will disappear in a few days. This usually causes patients to panic and even wonder why it is getting worse. Therefore, Chinese medicine practitioners will explain this before taking the medication, and if patients have doubts after taking the medication, they should always ask their doctors and follow their instructions to take it correctly.
Mutual trust between patients and doctors is very important, not only according to the rumor or reputation judgment, of course, the initial trust is the most basic, when the patient has a sense of trust in the doctor, the next is from the doctor’s diagnosis to understand whether their condition has been grasped, and then the right medicine.
Generally speaking, Chinese medicine is based on the treatment of the patient’s physique, so it depends on the patient’s condition to determine what to pay attention to. First of all, see if the physique is cold, hot or dry, which have some contraindications in the diet; or if the blood fat is too high or the blood sugar is too high, the contraindications are different. Modern medicine is very advanced, and it is no longer difficult to diagnose medical conditions, and there are many channels to seek medical treatment. For patients who choose Chinese medicine to treat their conditions, it is actually due to the psychological orientation of wanting to take Chinese medicine. Modern medicine is no longer a key issue in diagnosing medical conditions, as it is technically possible to transform the condition into a visible image or data presentation, and the main focus of medical advances today is the use of medicine, how it works in the patient’s body and how it can be effective.
As the times have changed, for the ancient patients, they were financially poorer, and their bodies were more deficient in nutritional intake. Therefore, when doctors prescribed medicines, they would choose the four ingredients, the eight treasures, and the ten whole ones, which were more helpful in restoring the patients’ vitality. Compared to modern life, there are many cases of excess nutrition in the diet, so water spinach and white radish have become helpful foods nowadays and are no longer contraindicated in taking Chinese medicine. On the contrary, when Japanese people eat fish and meat, they always eat it with fried radish or dip it with radish puree, which is also the same reason, mainly to avoid excess nutrition. Therefore, as the times change, doctors’ medication is different, and the dietary items that should be taken care of for patients are also different. Although there is this medical theory, but can not be generalized, so according to the prudent, patients in taking drugs, or again ask the doctor, perhaps in the diet, although not as far as all can not eat, but there will be restrictions on the amount of food to eat, or what to increase the intake of food can help the disease, not just take drugs, diet is also a way to help the disease. Patients do not only pay attention to taking medication and diet, during the consultation should also treat the doctor as a confidant, do not hide the condition because of shyness, in addition to help the doctor physiologically understand the condition, but also a way of psychological expression, are good ways to help physical health.
