Grassroots community health service centers have always been the main position of traditional Chinese medicine services, and in addition to community doctors, doctors in tertiary hospitals should also play their role. A few days ago, the Fengxian Branch of the National Intangible Cultural Heritage List Lu Xiaoyan Acupuncture Heritage Research Center and the studio of Wu Yaozhi, a famous Chinese medicine practitioner in Shanghai, landed at the Xidu Community Health Service Center in Fengxian District. Through the linkage between tertiary hospitals and the community, famous TCM practitioners and their teams go to the community to sit and teach, extending the "last mile" of TCM medical services, which not only brings better TCM diagnosis and treatment services to residents in the jurisdiction, but also improves the overall level of TCM in the community.
In the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine on the third floor of Xidu Community Health Service Center, the antique and unique Wu Yaozhi Studio is located at the end of the corridor. Every week, the studio here has a half-day turning into a popular teaching clinic.
As a national and Shanghai intangible cultural heritage item, "Lu's Acupuncture and Moxibustion Therapy" is famous for using traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture, Tuina bone injury and other techniques to treat various diseases such as neck, shoulder and back pain, shoulder adhesions, various osteoarthropathy, stroke sequelae and rehabilitation after nerve injury, difficult complex facial paralysis, menstrual irregularities and other diseases.
At the monthly teaching clinic, as the fourth generation disciple of "Lu's Acupuncture Therapy", Wu Yaozhi, director of the acupuncture and injury department of Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital, will personally guide the teaching. Six TCM practitioners in the community, all of whom were his disciples, sat together to analyze and discuss the most appropriate treatment for patients with incurable diseases. "Are there any chronic diseases?" "Yes, I have had oncology." "Patients like this are important for medical history, and she said that I had a tumor disease, so I should be careful when I am on radiotherapy."
The first patient to see was Yao Juxian, a resident of Xinnanjiayuan, who suffered from severe lumbar syndrome. In the past, she often went to the urban area to queue up Wu Yaozhi's expert clinic, but because of the long distance, severe lumbar syndrome made her unable to sit for a long time, so she transferred the treatment position to the community, and what she didn't expect was that a famous Chinese medicine doctor came to the community. Aunt Yao sighed, "It's really benefited from us, and it's really good to come to our community hospital now, to be able to invite such a large expert, in the past, his expert number was difficult to hang, sometimes he couldn't hang it." ”
While treating Aunt Yao, Wu Yaozhi demonstrated to his disciples the characteristic clinical application of "Lu's acupuncture" therapy and the operation of the Jingwaiqi Acupoint. After a while, Aunt Yao felt that her symptoms had improved significantly.
Many residents are delighted that they can treat incurable diseases in the community by simply contracting services through family doctors. Ms. Teng, a patient who has been treated in the community TCM department due to long-term menstrual disorders, made an appointment for the expert clinic as soon as possible through her family doctor. Ms. Teng said frankly, "I heard that his skills are very high, and I think it is very good that good doctors can enter the community." And after the appointment, the doctors here will ask me a lot of relevant questions in advance, so that the experts and community doctors will discuss and analyze my symptoms together, which I feel is not experienced in a large hospital. ”
For TCM general practitioners in the community, they can get the help of municipal famous TCM practitioners, and they also have greater confidence in their hearts.
"Every teaching clinic will bring some new gains, which is equivalent to having a leader, taking you hand-in-hand, guiding the diagnosis and treatment of some diseases, which is of considerable help to the improvement of your personal ability." Song Xiulan, a physician who has been engaged in TCM general practice for 10 years, believes that especially relatively young TCM doctors need the guidance and guidance of old TCM doctors to improve the level of TCM diagnosis and treatment, so as to better bring high-quality TCM services to surrounding residents.
And this is the meaning of the sinking community of doctors in tertiary hospitals. Different from the teaching method of Western medicine, Wu Yaozhi believes that Chinese medicine pays more attention to inheritance and development, and he hopes that TCM experts will sink into the community, bringing not only regular consultations, but more importantly, cultivating senior talents in community TCM, inheriting and developing Lu's acupuncture. "We come to the grassroots community, on the one hand, to pass on the effective experience of tertiary hospitals to community doctors, and on the other hand, to work with community doctors to jointly develop appropriate technologies of traditional Chinese medicine, and then benefit the community people." Therefore, I hope that our experts will sink into the community to keep our characteristics here, extend the service to the hands of the people, and let our community doctors achieve that everyone has characteristics and unique skills, so that the overall level of Chinese medicine in the community will be improved. Wu Yaozhi said.
