[Preface]
In everyone's stereotype, "Chinese medicine" should be a medical skill learned by Chinese, and has nothing to do with foreigners.
But in fact, with the change of the times, many things are not so serious, and Diarra, a black guy from Africa, has become the only "black doctor of traditional Chinese medicine" in China through his own efforts.
In order to thoroughly understand the "knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine", Diarra took root in China for 39 years, and even married a Sichuan girl.
How is he now? Is anyone really looking for him?
[Refused to prescribe expensive medicine and was forced to resign]
In our field of TCM in China, there is a special doctor, he is Diarra from Africa, he is not only the only "black doctor of TCM" in China, but also a good doctor who is widely praised by patients.
Diarra was born in the Republic of Mali in West Africa, where his grandfather was a local herbalist and his father was the director of Markara Hospital.
But gradually, he discovered the medical technique that made him more obsessed, that is, Chinese medicine that can know the symptoms of diseases without the help of any instruments, just by checking the pulse and looking at the tongue.
Once the seed is planted in his heart, his future efforts will be in that direction, and Diarra finally came to China as an exchange student with his superb art, studied for a doctorate, and became a doctor in a traditional Chinese medicine hospital.
Diarra is a very conscientious doctor who knows that his duty is to treat the sick and save lives, not to the detriment of patients for the sake of financial gain.
So even though he knew that as long as he prescribed some expensive drugs, he could get a bonus, but he always insisted on not prescribing expensive drugs, but choosing the most suitable and economical drugs for treatment according to the patient's condition and needs.
In an interview, a reporter asked about Diarra, and Diarra answered truthfully, he admitted that the vice president had approached him several times, and said that Diarra had the most patients, but the bonus was the least.
And the vice president also said that the doctor next door to Diarra can get a bonus of 4,000 to 5,000 per month, and Diarra's highest bonus is 172.5 yuan, so the vice president persuaded Diarra to prescribe more medicine.
Diarra refused outright, telling the vice president that his medical ethics and educational background, including his own beliefs, did not allow him to do so.
Diarra's words, I don't know how many unscrupulous doctors have been slapped in the face......
When the vice president talked to Diarra for the third time, he directly chose to resign, after all, "the Tao is not the same"!
[Marry a Sichuan girl]
Although Diarra's work path was not smooth, he met his love because of it, and she was an authentic Sichuan girl.
It was by chance that Diarra met this Sichuan girl in the hospital, and the girl went to several hospitals but could not cure her illness, so she rushed to the doctor to find Diarra.
After several courses of treatment, the girl's condition gradually improved, and the two also fell in love with each other in getting along again and again, but their love was met with many obstacles from the family.
Diarra's skin color and status were unacceptable to the girl's family, because they felt that their daughter should do her duty to find a local, not a foreigner who would leave at any time.
In order to keep his hard-won love, Diarra was not defeated by these resistances, and he firmly told the girl's parents that he was going to be in China for a long time, because his ideals could only be realized here, so he would settle in China.
Looking at Diarra, who looked sincere, and her determined daughter, they finally compromised, after all, except for Diarra's identity as a foreigner, all other aspects are still good, and they are honest and frank.
Diarra and his wife have had many difficult times together, but their love has grown deeper, they have learned Xi together, worked together, lived together, and faced all kinds of difficulties in life together......
[Found your own direction]
Diarra has not only been rooted in China for 39 years, but is also committed to inheriting and carrying forward the essence of traditional Chinese medicine, bringing health and hope to countless patients.
The reason why he has been reluctant to leave China is that he is well aware of the breadth and profundity of Chinese medicine, and in the meantime, he can only have an in-depth understanding of the theory and practice of Chinese medicine, and continue to explore and inherit the essence of Chinese medicine.
So in 2001, Diarra accepted an invitation from the Red River state government to go out into remote areas all year round to help people treat leprosy and AIDS.
Diarra was very active in such a meaningful medical activity, and even in the face of a young boy with AIDS who had been locked up in the pigsty for many years, he did not dislike it in the slightest, but carried the boy out of the pigsty.
In order to prevent the recurrence of such a tragedy as the boy, Diarra also made a special drama about this incident to popularize this knowledge to everyone.
In 2003, Diarra volunteered again and went to poorer mountain villages, where he trained 3,000 village doctors.
Diarra never charged a penny more for medical treatment there, and he wanted to pass on his health to everyone, so that his medical skills could help more people in need.
For his ideals, Diarra has taken root in the countryside for more than 20 years, running every day on the way to see a doctor and save people.
His wife also understands Diarra's ideals, and she unconditionally supports her husband in pursuing what he wants.
Now Diarra is 59 years old, he has a well-behaved and sensible child, a gentle and virtuous wife, and his knowledge and level of traditional Chinese medicine have also been unanimously recognized.
Although his country has been urging Diarra to return to China, Diarra is reluctant to leave China, believing that only in China can he fulfill his ideals.
【Conclusion】
At the beginning, Diarra's path to medicine was not smooth, after all, he was a foreigner and engaged in traditional Chinese medicine, so many people did not believe him.
But Diarra was not discouraged, he chose to treat the patient with all his heart, and even chose to pay the medical expenses himself in advance in order to make the patient believe him.
It is Diarra's persistence that has led to today's achievements, and has also made his medical skills known and recognized by everyone.
