In June 2020, a summer day that should have been calm set off stormy waves in Pan Yueming's home. Pan Yueming, who was on a business trip, received an urgent call from his mother, and his father had a sudden cerebral infarction and was in critical condition.
This sudden news made Pan Yueming suddenly feel the world spinning, and his heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand. "Mom, how is Dad now? Get to the hospital! Pan Yueming asked eagerly, his voice full of anxiety and worry.
However, the exceptional circumstances of 2020 have created even greater challenges for the family. On the other end of the phone, the mother's voice was full of helplessness and fear: "Son, now that the epidemic is serious, it is too dangerous to go to the hospital, and it is overcrowded, we can't squeeze in at all!" "The pandemic has made already strained medical resources even more scarce, making it extremely difficult to seek medical care.
Pan Yueming was so anxious that he wanted to fly home immediately, but the reality of the large-scale cancellation of flights made him feel helpless. He could only comfort his mother on the phone, but at the same time, his heart was full of worries about his father's safety.
"Mom, don't panic first, I'll find a way to come back right away." Pan Yueming endured the fear in his heart and tried to give his mother some comfort. But he clearly knows that in the current situation, there is simply too little he can do.
Faced with his father's life in danger, conventional medical treatment was out of reach, which made Pan Yueming feel unprecedented powerlessness and fear. He began to regret why he was on a business trip at this time, and if he was at home, would he have been able to handle the situation better? While Pan Yueming was mired in self-blame and anxiety, his mother showed amazing composure and wisdom.
"Son, don't worry, I'll figure it out." Although his mother's words were brief, they gave Pan Yueming a glimmer of hope. At this moment, the only thing Pan Yueming can do is to believe in his mother and believe in the tenacity of life.
However, in the face of his father's critical situation and the obstacles brought about by the epidemic, Pan Yueming's heart was full of helplessness and fear, not knowing what would happen next, and he could only pray for a miracle in anxious waiting.
Just when the Pan family fell into despair, a glimmer of hope quietly came. After Pan's mother calmed down, she suddenly remembered the existence of an old Chinese medicine doctor. Although she was not sure if it would be useful, at this critical juncture, she decided to give it a try and dialed the old Chinese medicine doctor's phone.
"Hey, Dr. Wang, my wife has a sudden cerebral infarction and can't go to the hospital now, can you help?" Pan's mother's voice was full of crying and pleading. On the other end of the phone, the calm voice of the old Chinese medicine doctor sounded, like a shot in the heart, giving Pan's mother great courage.
"Don't panic, I'll guide you, and now immediately bleed the patient's fingertip." The old Chinese medicine doctor said succinctly and clearly. Under the remote guidance of the old Chinese medicine doctor, Pan's mother trembled her hands, picked up the sterilized needle, and began to bleed her husband's fingertips.
Every drop of blood flowed out like a race against death. Fine beads of sweat oozed from Pan's forehead, and there was both fear and determination in her eyes. She knew that at this moment she was the only hope for her husband's life.
"Don't be afraid, continue to bleed until the patient reacts." On the phone, the voice of the old Chinese medicine doctor has been guiding Pan's mother. Time passed minute by minute, and Pan's mother's hand became more and more stable.
Suddenly, a miracle happened. As the bloodletting progressed, Pan's father's condition began to improve. The eyes that had been closed slowly opened, and the pale face gradually returned to blood.
"Old man, you're awake!" Pan's mother was overjoyed, and tears welled up in her eyes. She hurriedly reported the situation to the old Chinese medicine doctor on the other end of the phone. After getting the confirmation of the old Chinese medicine doctor, Pan's mother immediately called her son Pan Yueming, who was far away.
"Son, your dad is awake, it's okay!" Pan Mu said excitedly. Pan Yueming on the other end of the phone heard that his father was out of danger, and his hanging heart finally landed. He was grateful, and couldn't stop thanking the old Chinese medicine doctor he had never met.
In his mind, Chinese medicine is no longer a mysterious ancient skill, but a life-saving straw that actually saved his father's life. At this moment, Pan Yueming deeply realized the magic of traditional Chinese medicine.
Although he did not understand medical science, the fact that his father turned the corner made him have an unprecedented respect for Chinese medicine. He secretly made up his mind that he must thank this old Chinese medicine doctor, and at the same time, let more people know the value of Chinese medicine.
In this way, under the remote guidance of traditional Chinese medicine, Pan's father turned the corner, and a tragedy was successfully averted. This unexpected turn of events not only saved a life, but also planted confidence and gratitude for Chinese medicine in Pan Yueming's heart.
The joy of the rest of his life after the catastrophe made Pan Yueming unable to help himself. The experience of his father walking back from the brink of death was like a thrilling dream, and he was filled with emotion. He couldn't wait to share this joy with the world, so he posted the news on Weibo.
Pan Yueming's fingers tapped quickly on the keyboard, and his excitement was overflowing: "Thank you Chinese medicine for saving my father's life!" This simple sentence contains his cherishing of life and gratitude to Chinese medicine.
In his Weibo account, he described in detail the whole process of his father's sudden cerebral infarction, his mother's fingertip bloodletting under the guidance of traditional Chinese medicine, and his father's turn from danger to safety. Every word seems to tell the thrilling moment, and the deep love for parents and the heartfelt admiration for Chinese medicine are revealed between the lines.
"At that critical moment, it was Chinese medicine that gave us a glimmer of hope." Pan Yueming wrote, "I am forever grateful to this old Chinese medicine doctor whom I have never met, whose wisdom and experience saved my father's life.
If it weren't for the epidemic, we would definitely be sent to the hospital as soon as possible, but in that special situation, Chinese medicine became our only lifesaver. Pan Yueming's tone was full of admiration and admiration for traditional Chinese medicine techniques.
He recalled the frightening moment that night, when his father's signs of life were disappearing little by little, and the intervention of Chinese medicine was like a ray of light, giving hope to the whole family. "I know some people may be skeptical, but I've experienced this miracle firsthand.
Traditional Chinese medicine is not only a medical method, but also a treasure of our Chinese nation. Pan Yueming wrote on Weibo. After posting this Weibo, Pan Yueming breathed a sigh of relief.
He originally thought that this was just an ordinary Weibo to share family happy events. He looks forward to netizens sharing this joy with him, and even hopes that this experience will make more people realize the value of Chinese medicine.
However, he didn't expect that this heartfelt and sincere Weibo would cause an unexpected storm of public opinion. Pan Yueming clicked the send button with gratitude and joy, but he didn't know what kind of impact this simple action would have on him.
As soon as Pan Yueming's Weibo was issued, it immediately caused an uproar on the Internet. The comment section was quickly flooded with a variety of different voices, with criticism and questioning prevailing.
Many netizens expressed strong dissatisfaction with Pan Yueming's approach. They believe that as a public figure, Pan Yueming should not publicize such unconfirmed cases.
Someone bluntly pointed out: "This is misleading the public!" Cerebral infarction is an emergency and should be taken to the hospital immediately, not at home. Pan Yueming, it's so irresponsible for you to do this! Some netizens said that Pan's father was able to turn the corner this time, which is likely to be just a coincidence.
They fear that if others follow suit, the consequences will be dire if something unexpected happens. "Your father may have been a false alarm, but if someone delays treatment because of your words, that's the real tragedy.
A netizen said. What's more, some people began to question whether Pan Yueming's move had ulterior motives. "Is it a charge for the advertising of Chinese medicine?" "I haven't had any works for so many years, and I have begun to rely on fake blogs to pay attention?" Speculation like this is rampant online.
These sharp doubts made Pan Yueming feel both confused and aggrieved. At the same time, professionals in the medical community joined the discussion. A well-known medical influencer reposted Pan Yueming's Weibo and solemnly stated: "Ten finger bloodletting cannot treat any myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction."
There is no scientific basis for this method and it may delay the condition. The expert's remarks undoubtedly gave Pan Yueming's statement a blow in the face. In the face of the surging doubts, Pan Yueming felt both confused and aggrieved.
Originally, he just wanted to share a happy family event and express his gratitude to TCM, but he unexpectedly caused such a big controversy. He began to reflect on whether his actions were really problematic and whether they were really misleading the public.
However, there are also some voices that defend Pan Yueming. Some netizens pointed out: "Pan Yueming is just sharing his personal experience, and he is not promoting this practice." In this extraordinary time of the pandemic, they may not have a choice.
Someone else said: "Chinese medicine does have its own uniqueness, and it should not be completely denied. The controversy soon went beyond Pan's personal case and turned into a big debate about Chinese and Western medicine.
Some people think that TCM is a pseudoscience and should be eliminated; There are also those who insist that TCM has its own unique value and should not be easily denied. Pan Yueming was caught up in this whirlpool, feeling both confused and helpless.
He couldn't understand why his kindness had caused so much controversy. He began to wonder if he had done something wrong and whether he was responsible for his words and actions.
In this storm of public opinion, Pan Yueming realized that as a public figure, his words and deeds may have a far-reaching impact. He began to think about how he could handle the situation properly, how he could dispel public suspicions without betraying his true feelings.
In the face of overwhelming doubts and criticisms, Pan Yueming realized the seriousness of the situation. He was deeply trapped in self-blame and remorse, thinking about how to make up for his mistakes.
The next day, Pan Yueming posted a solemn apology on Weibo. He first emphasized: "If you are sick, you must pay attention to it, and you must go to the hospital for a serious examination according to the procedure."
These words show his reflection on the matter and his concern for public health. In order to set the record straight, Pan Yueming also gave a detailed account of his father's specific situation at that time and explained why emergency measures had to be taken.
He stressed that it was a last resort and that it did not apply to everyone. "At that time, it was really an emergency, and my mother had to bleed my father's finger by herself.
Pan Yueming said sincerely. In the end, Pan Yueming frankly admitted his ignorance of medical knowledge, saying that it caused misunderstanding and trouble to everyone. He said: "I mainly want to record the relationship between my parents, but it is because of my ignorance of medicine that I have caused misunderstanding and trouble for everyone.
I'm deeply sorry. This apology Weibo shows Pan Yueming's sincerity and responsible attitude. He made it clear that he did not want people to be misled by his Weibo, stressing the importance of seeking medical attention in time when they are sick.
Mr. Pan's words show that he is aware of his influence as a public figure and the social responsibility he should assume when sharing his personal experiences. Although this turmoil caused him a lot of trouble, it also made him more cautious about his words and deeds.
After the apology was posted on Weibo, many of the criticisms subsided slightly. However, the discussion sparked by this turmoil is far from over. The Pan Yueming incident seems to have subsided, but it has triggered deeper thinking in society.
This is not only a gaffe of a public figure, but also a reflection of the long-standing contradictions and conflicts between Chinese and Western medicine. With the popularization of Western medicine in China, the living space of traditional Chinese medicine is constantly being squeezed.
Many people began to question the science and effectiveness of Chinese medicine. However, it has also been pointed out that Chinese and Western medicine have their own strengths and should complement each other rather than oppose each other. As a netizen said: "Traditional Chinese medicine mainly has no systematic and standardized process, there is no credit for doing it well, and it is easy to be held accountable if it is wrong."
The Western medicine model is stable and has a fixed process, as long as the whole process is followed, there is no responsibility. "This controversy has exposed not only the differences in medical philosophy, but also the collision between tradition and modernity, experience and science.
It provokes people to think about broader issues such as the healthcare system, cultural inheritance, etc.
