Regarding the history of Western medicine, what is Western medicine?

On May 27, 1805, the archives of the East India Company, in the archives of the Shang Chan Na Museum in Guangzhou, stated: "Today Mr. Pearson began to be inoculated with the vaccine of the pox. "This year," the British East India Company.

Doctor Pearson inoculates Chinese with cowpox.

This event is considered to be the official beginning of the introduction of Western medicine into China, and it has also become an important topic in the study of modern Chinese medical history. ”

When the Chinese refer to "Western medicine", they usually refer to "the medical system of modern Western countries". The medical system of modern Western countries originated from Western countries in modern times, it is a new medical system developed by scholars in Western countries in modern times after they denied and abandoned ancient Greek medicine, with anatomical physiology, histoembryology, biochemistry and molecular biology as basic disciplines, and this new medical system is what Chinese often call "Western medicine" today. Modern and modern Western medicine was called the new medicine in modern China, as opposed to the old medicine (traditional Chinese medicine).

The medical system of modern Western countries is based on anatomical physiology, histology and embryology, biochemistry and molecular biology. Traditional Chinese medicine is based on Tibetan physiology and meridian acupoints.

The diagnostic technology in the medical system of modern Western countries is more based on the use of advanced medical instruments and laboratories to make accurate diagnosis of diseases. Doctors use their own sensory organs to diagnose patients' diseases by means of inspection, palpation, percussion, auscultation, sniffing, etc., or with the help of stethoscopes, percussion hammers, blood pressure monitors, thermometers and other simple tools to diagnose patients' diseases.

It should be legal in China**!

1. Holistic concept: The holistic concept is the understanding of the integrity, unity and relevance of things and phenomena. Traditional Chinese medicine regards the tissues and organs of the internal organs and the surface of the body as an organic whole, and at the same time believes that the climate, the land and the surrounding environment have different degrees of influence on the physiology and pathology of the human body, which not only emphasizes the unity of the human body, but also attaches importance to the unity of the body and the external environment, which is the main content of the overall concept of Chinese medicine.

What is the difference between Chinese medicine and Western medicine? Traditional Chinese medicine is to see people, Western medicine is to see patients, Chinese medicine is to see people who are sick, and Western medicine is to see people's diseases. For example, a cold:

Elderly, children, men, women, menstruation, and non-menstruation** means are different. Throat inflammation is different from long-term pharyngitis, just inflamed, righteous and vicious; often inflamed, long-term bad, positive qi deficiency; The elderly are inflamed and lack of qi to use tonics, so it is necessary to use a holistic concept. Another example:

Headache, what is the nature of headache, you have to ask? Headache after getting angry, stagnation of liver qi; headache after exertion and staying up late, lack of kidney qi; Some have menstrual headaches and deficiency of qi and blood; Some people have headaches and heavy phlegm and dampness after eating meat; You look at a very simple thing, you have to ask clearly. So some of them must be asked, and some of them may be passed by.

Western medicine sees a doctor, that is, you have diabetes, you have high blood pressure, so it is the same, the plan is the same, Chinese medicine is absolutely different, it has to see the patient.

You thin man is sick, and he gives you ** from the spleen and stomach; You fat man sick from the endocrine to your tune; You, a meat-loving and drink-loving person, have diabetes, and I will adjust it to you from the dampness; Some people are thirsty and thirsty, so I will eliminate your thirst, and the diabetes will be cured. So that is to say, when you treat a patient, one is to see the disease, and the other is to see what the disease is caused by, in this way, when you give him medicine, you adjust his spleen and stomach, he may be fine, you cough, you may adjust the kidney, so this whole is very important. The things in Chinese medicine may involve personality, and I just said that in which case the nature of the headache is large, it is important to understand the nature of the headache.

A patient went to **** to see a headache, **** gave him Tianma pills, blood nourishing painkillers, and told him not to take painkillers if he was not in pain, and the effect was not good if he did not distinguish the syndrome and the symptoms.

Foreigners came to the door on their own. And for individual minor ailments. Western medicine does have a significant effect. And there is no need to take Chinese medicine. The price is also cheaper.

During the Qing Dynasty, Western medicine entered China.
