During the Republic of China, progressives spared no effort to promote western medicine. At that time, many new figures openly boycotted Chinese medicine. Such as Liang Qichao, Lu Xun, Hu Shi, Guo Moruo, Wang Jingwei and Fu Sinian.
The most unlucky Liang Qichao
Liang Qichao is 5 1 year old. He got a disease for no reason, always urinating blood, and the cause is unknown. At first, he went to a German hospital in Dongjiaomin Lane. German doctors did a comprehensive examination for him in half a month, and ruled out stones and tuberculosis. However, due to the lack of medical testing equipment, it is impossible to determine the cause of pathogens.
Concord is an American-run hospital in China, with the most advanced medical equipment in the world at that time, which can be used for X-ray examination. After X-ray examination, the doctor found a black spot the size of a cherry on his right kidney. After diagnosis by many experts, it is agreed that black spots are tumors and the cause of hematuria.
Union Medical College Hospital decided to operate on Liang Qichao to remove his right kidney.
However, hematuria did not stop after the operation. Although the blood volume was sometimes very small and invisible to the naked eye, laboratory tests proved that the condition was not cured. The Union Medical College Hospital checked it again, but it could not find any reason, so it had to be called "unprovoked bleeding".
After Liang Qichao was discharged from the hospital, his urine and blood remained the same.
Liang Qixun, Liang Qichao's younger brother, published hospital notes in the supplement 1926 of Morning News on May 29th, which fully expressed his distrust of western medicine and thought that they had cut a good kidney without any disease.
This incident caused an uproar, and even an argument about Chinese and Western medicine broke out.
Liang Qichao had to lie without conscience. Published "My Disease and Union Hospital" in the exhibition newspaper, and publicly defended western medicine science.
In fact, Liang Qichao has been asking about the operation, but the Union Medical College Hospital has been secretive. Later, with the help of the famous western doctor Lian Dewu, he was able to fully understand the situation. In a letter to children on September 1926, Liang Qichao said:
"He (Lian Dewu) has proved that Concord Meng Lang's operation is wrong. He has seen his right kidney cut off, and he is not sick at all. He accused Xiehe of being careless and treating human life as a child's play. Concord has admitted it. The root of the disease is internal medicine, not surgery. Before the operation, Kerry, Li Shudong, Yamamoto and even Concord all learned from the operation, which is really misleading. However, according to Liande's diagnosis, it is not the so-called "unprovoked bleeding", but mild nephritis. Western medicine is not an incurable disease, but it is difficult to get quick results. ..... I used to wonder if the right kidney was really sick. If the right kidney is really sick, it is either the cause or the result of bloody stool. Of course, it's not the reason why the bleeding doesn't stop. If it turns out, it will be even more terrible. If you bleed for another year or two, the left kidney will get the same result. Isn't it terrible? I have repeatedly asked Sheikh to confirm the news. In order to protect their own shortcomings, they always say that the right kidney is sick (partially rotten). Now Lian Decai has proved their lies. " (Ding Wenjiang, Zhao Toyota, "Liang Qichao's Long Chronicle")
Liang Qichao's illness worsened during his stay in Beidaihe. I have to ask Tang, a Chinese medicine doctor, to have a look. When Tang arrived, he was diagnosed as "gallbladder exudation". Results Several doses were effective and the effect was very good. On August 22nd, Liang Qichao happily wrote to his children, saying, "A large group of children, big and small! Only in this way can you be happy, and my illness is really completely cured! ..... According to heaven, the source of the disease lies in the gallbladder, which begins with panic and becomes stagnant in the bladder. Although his words involve nothing, they are somewhat similar. ..... His medicine is really effective. The disease accumulated for a year and a half was eliminated in ten days. The western medicine group said it was an incurable disease, but it is possible to achieve this miraculous effect in one fell swoop! I'm still careful to rest, don't work too hard, don't worry. "
1929, Liang Qichao died of illness.
The most embarrassing Hu Shi
Hu Shi advocated a new culture during the May 4th Movement and thought that TCM was unscientific. He was a heavyweight who opposed Chinese medicine at the beginning of last century.
Dr. Hu Shi was initially found to have symptoms such as thirst, polydipsia and polyuria, and was initially diagnosed as "diabetes". Urine contains protein, which causes swelling and pain in legs and feet, directly affecting work. Cai Yuanpei suggested that Hu Shi take a vacation for half a year, and Hu Shi's illness really lasted for more than half a year.
1920 1 181October 18, Hu Shi was sentenced to death by Union Medical College Hospital for suffering from "diabetes" and chronic nephritis complicated with cardiogenic edema for a long time, saying that "it is hopeless, so prepare for the aftermath quickly".
Later, Li Shizeng recommended Lu Zhongan to Hu Shi, who thought that the treatment of traditional Chinese medicine had "no scientific basis" and disagreed. Later, he was introduced to Yo-Yo Ma, and Hu extended the scope of treatment to Lu. After some diagnosis and treatment, he recovered quickly.
Hu Shi wrote more than 500 words in Lu Zhong 'an's Reading Classics in Autumn Room, describing the treatment process.
Lying to violate Hu Shi's conscience. In his later years, in two letters to his friends, Hu Shi made a slip of the tongue and denied the fact that Lu Zhongan cured his illness.
Luo Ergang, a disciple of Hu Shi, said, "Hu Shi hates people telling lies. Why did he lie himself?
This is because he advocates "comprehensive globalization" and science.
He thinks that Chinese medicine is unscientific. He suffers from kidney inflammation, and there is nothing Western medicine can do. However, Lu Zhongan, a Chinese medicine practitioner, actually cured him, and it is widely rumored in the society that there is a tendency to distrust Western medicine. Hu Shi was afraid of being harmful to the development of science, so he had to say so. (Luo Ergang: My Master's Five Years-Hu Shi's Notes).
The most helpless Sun Yat-sen
Sun Yat-sen "would rather die than see Chinese medicine". It was once a proof of Sun Yat-sen's firm belief. When people are eloquent.
Lu Xun was very moved by this and wrote: "At that time, there was a trivial article in the news, which touched me as much as his revolutionary career. It is said that when western medicine is at its wit's end, some people advocate eating Chinese medicine; However, Dr. Sun Yat-sen disagreed, thinking that China's drugs were effective, but his knowledge of diagnosis was lacking. Can't diagnose, how to use medicine? There's no need to take it. When people are in danger, they are generally willing to try anything, but he still has such sober reason and firm will for his life. "
In fact, when Sun Yat-sen was seriously ill in Beijing, he always asked for conservative treatment. At that time, Union Medical College Hospital believed that Mr. Sun was probably suffering from the "most serious liver disease" and had to undergo surgery.
After the abdominal cavity was opened, it was found that it was impossible to operate. The whole liver surface was covered with yellow and white nodules of different sizes, and the organs in the entire abdominal cavity were stuck together. Then sew it up.
Radiotherapy was done shortly after operation, but the effect was not seen for two days, and the condition deteriorated sharply.
On February 17, 2007, Ruiheng Liu wrote to Kong Xiangxi, asking him to tell Sun Yat-sen's family and people in the Kuomintang that Sun Yat-sen had an incurable disease.
Western medicine said that there was nothing to be done about Sun Yat-sen's illness, and friends and comrades suggested Chinese medicine treatment one after another, but Union Medical College Hospital also expressed great indignation at the suggestion of changing to Chinese medicine. The hospital said that Chinese medicine could not enter Concord. Although Sun Yat-sen is respected, he must move out of the hospital if he wants to be treated with Chinese medicine.
On February 18, 2008, Sun Yat-sen moved out of Union Medical College Hospital and moved to Iron Lion Hutong to receive Chinese medicine treatment. Lu Zhongan, a famous Chinese medicine doctor, and others went out for a week and prescribed a prescription. After taking two doses, Sun's condition improved, but a few days later, Sun stopped using traditional Chinese medicine and continued to use western medicine to induce diuresis and stop diarrhea. 12 In the early morning of March, Sun Yat-sen suddenly turned around frequently, and his breath became weaker and weaker. At 9: 30, Sun Yat-sen stopped breathing at the age of 59.
It's not that Sun Yat-sen doesn't see Chinese medicine, but that many people don't let him see Chinese medicine.
The most ridiculous kang Youwei
Gao Baishi, a senior reporter from Taiwan Province Province, wrote an interesting story in his "New Notes on Ancient Buildings in Spring Breeze", saying that Kang Youwei accidentally read a news in the newspaper in his later years, saying that a doctor named voronov had developed the medical skill of rejuvenation, but ... the testicles of young monkeys needed transplantation, which could delay aging and improve sexual function.
Later, Kang Youwei met a German doctor through the introduction of his good friend Jiang Fengzhi, and then underwent testicular transplantation, replacing the testicles of young monkeys with his own. After a while, Kang Youwei felt refreshed, and his memory and sexual desire were greatly enhanced. However, the good times did not last long. Due to the limitation of the times, many medical theories are still immature. Later, the monkey's testicles produced a serious rejection reaction in Lao Kang, and Kang Youwei eventually died suddenly.
At first I thought it was a farce, but later I found it might be true.
Kang Youwei really died suddenly. It is said that he bled to death from seven orifices. Kang family said it was food poisoning.
First, the monkey testicular transplantation is real.
At the beginning of the 20th century, Austrian physiologist Stayner Hirsch and many doctors in Europe and America performed testicular transplantation. Since then, doctors in other countries have frequently studied testicular transplantation.
Second, the "voronov" doctor mentioned in the newspaper does exist. Voronov is a medical professor at the French Academy. In the 1920s, he reported the successful cases of human receiving testis transplantation from sheep and cattle.
1927, the Belarusian newspaper "Russian Times" published a message saying that Professor Ivanov tried to conduct an ape hybridization experiment at the Sukhumi ape breeding base in the Soviet Union. The news caused a sensation.
"Kang Shengren" has six wives and six concubines, and its urgent needs are understandable.
