Chapter 290 - Eastern and Western Culture
Regarding Julian's complaints, Li Bai's explanation was: "Nine and six million square kilometers of land need to be filled by population. If there is no one, it will be easily occupied by outsiders."
This is nothing wrong. If it weren't for the Himalayas, the three and the others would have wanted to do this long ago.
Catherine asked curiously: "I haven't asked yet, which hospital do you belong to in China?"
She had visited China with her mentor once before and attended a similar exchange meeting, but she had never seen a guy as interesting as Li Bai.
"The Seventh People's Hospital of Huxi City, Qianjiang Province!"
Li Bai signed up for his own home.
For Westerners, this name is quite difficult to remember.
"Is it a municipal hospital? We are also a municipal hospital!"
Julian began to learn the humor of the Eastern style, because in the American education model, all elite talents, even scholars who are obsessed with academic research, are rarely good at speaking and communication.
One is Huxi City and the other is New York City. However, in the field of spiritual specialties in the United States, New York Presbyterian Hospital can rank among the top three. Whether it is business quality or the 28 million population base that is fourth in the world, it is all above the Seventh People's Hospital.
Compared with New York, the largest city in the United States, Huxi, the provincial capital located on the southeast coast of China, the population is only one-third of that of the other party, and the area is twenty times larger than that of the other party. It is a relatively "large land and sparsely populated".
Julian from New York Presbyterian Hospital marveled at the large population of China. On the one hand, it is because of the total population and on the other hand, it is because of the density of urban population. Unlike the United States, most of the population surrounds the CBD business district. Looking at it, it is actually not even in the urban-rural fringe. Once you leave the city, it is desolate like a ghost domain. Mobile phones in many places are not easy to use. To surf the Internet and watch movies in the wilderness like China, it is purely overthinking!
Moreover, one of the many nicknames in New York is gotham, which is a group of villains such as Batman’s background cities, specialty clowns, clowns and Penguin. The movie alludes to reality. This shows that the New York Presbyterian Hospital has a very good mass base, and coupled with the concentrated inclination of top medical resources in the United States, it is difficult to have a low medical level.
"Haha, we should communicate more!"
Li Bai shook hands with Julian again. It would be great if he could learn some wealth and honor.
Foreigners can use idioms, Julian smiled and said, "No problem! You must know everything and say everything."
Unlike other medical specialties, psychiatry has always been very cautious in taking medicine. No matter which country, the use of psychiatric drugs is strictly controlled as well as antibiotics, and it is even better than that. Therefore, communication has become the main means of psychiatrists, and even developed very magical hypnosis. This technique that is almost like spell or witchcraft is not available in other specialties.
Due to the complexity of the causes of psychiatric illness, more and more extensive communication is conducive to obtaining valuable experience in targeted treatment. Professionals attending the exchange meeting basically do not have the idea of leaving any hands. Moreover, everyone has the ability to have a sharp eye. It is meaningless to conceal and lie, and the communication between the two parties is much more frank.
What Julian said was full of knowledge and everything he said was a big truth.
The chat of the three attracted the interest of other colleagues around them. Many people listened with their ears and occasionally interjected a sentence, which made a small communication circle take shape inadvertently.
People have seven emotions and six desires. Those without emotions are called low-level creatures or just dead objects. This means that the mental state of a person has always been fluctuating and changes are undergoing various changes due to their own factors and external factors. Even if they are in a normal state of mental health, they may be reversed at any time.
In other words, people are constantly wandering between mental illness and mental normality, so occasionally there are some inexplicable and extremely stupid actions afterwards, while mentally ill patients are trapped in the shadows and unable to extricate themselves.
When the exchange conference was officially announced, Li Bai had exchanged four or five cases with Julian and Catherine of New York Presbyterian Hospital, and both sides had gained a lot.
The meeting arrangement for the morning of the exchange meeting was that the big guys took turns to speak, and selected five well-known experts from home and abroad to come to the stage. Each person was half an hour, and one or two advanced research topics would be put forward, and the content contained a large number of professional terms.
The layman can't even watch the excitement, and he will only be dizzy when he hears it, but the experts are all focused and listen with relish, discovering what is valuable to them from it, occasionally making a sudden enlightenment, or nodding frequently to agree. When the wonderful things are mentioned on the stage, the audience applauds a lot.
Sometimes, some professional things are found through thin window paper, and they can be broken by poking them. The same is true in the medical industry.
It is said that old birthday boys eat arsenic and think they are impatient in their lives, but some diseases require eating arsenic to survive. A valuable experience can often lead to countless lives.
The big guys spoke on the stage, and the chat in the small circle immediately became low-key, and only two or three people around them could hear the voice.
The lively Jenny secretly asked, "Li Bai, what is your minor course?"
“Minor course?”
Li Bai was puzzled.
"Julian and I are both minors in philosophy, and they are requested by our mentors, and they are particularly painful."
When Jenny remembered the boring, no, the perverted philosophy course, she was still scared and almost couldn't hold on. Now that she was asked to hold the textbook, she would probably not be able to survive.
"hehe!"
Julian also smiled terriblely without anyone's face.
Li Bai understood why the other tutor asked his students to minor in philosophy.
Psychology originates from philosophy. Psychiatry takes the approach of combining theory with practice. Philosophy is equivalent to the general outline or internal mental method, while psychology represents applications or moves.
Li Bai said with a sense of superiority: "I am a minor in metaphysics!"
As a master's degree in psychology, he must have studied philosophy, but now he has returned it to the teacher. If you ask Da Da Li to talk about this topic again, he will definitely be confused.
"metaphysics?"
The two foreigners were confused when they were reincarnated. The word metaphysis was a bit special, but it also belongs to the category of philosophy.
In addition to metaphysics, its other meaning is metaphysics, which is a branch of philosophy. What do you know how Chinese translators linked them.
"The metaphysics of the Eastern meaning have a background of mysticism, including spells and witchcraft."
Li Bai's nonsense skills have increased, which has made Julian and Jenny stunned. It has changed metaphysics to mystery, which makes it easier for Westerners to understand.
The nearby Chinese colleagues covered their mouths and wanted to laugh but didn't dare. Whose university is a minor in this kind of metaphysics? If you stand up, you will not be beaten to death. No, you will probably be beaten to death by your tutor first.
But no one came forward to expose it.
"Ah! Spells? Witchcraft? Like Zhou Yi? Tai Chi? Bagua?"
Jenny's eyes were wide open. In the ancient and mysterious East, there were so many unknowns and secrets hidden. No wonder someone said that the Chinese Crouching Tiger and Hidden Dragon were hidden.
"It means almost the same!"
Li Bai nodded.
If you don’t scare these two elite colleagues from New York Presbyterian Hospital, you will not be able to take out more valuable cases from each other, which are valuable experiences that cannot be measured with money.
"This is unscientific!"
Julian showed more firmness and was not easily tricked.
Being able to work in a top-ranked hospital in the United States with the highest psychiatric majors will naturally not be a fool who can fool you.
"Let me give an example. In the ancient Eastern culture, one births two, two births three, three births four, four births five, five births six, six births seven, seven births eight, eight births nine, nine is the extreme number, and there are endless changes. Have you heard of this?"
If you want to convince the other party, you have to lead it into the ditch. Li Bai's small engineer shovel for digging a hole is swinging quickly.
"I've heard of it!"
Julian nodded slowly. Before coming to China, he did some homework and knew the rules of deduction of this number.
In fact, some Hollywood blockbusters in the United States have such content, and those who have a little understanding of Eastern culture will know it.
"It's the Zhou Yi, one is the number of Yuanshi, two is the Yin and Yang, three is the three talents of heaven, earth, man and man..."
Jenny, who had small freckles scattered near her nose, happily counted out what she knew.
"But this is not science, well, just an ancient, naive philosophical theory."
Julian frowned. He felt that Zhou Yi should not be attributed to philosophy, but should be regarded as a kind of Eastern witchcraft.
As for Western witchcraft, well, no one regards them as philosophy at all. Zhou Yi only took advantage of the influence of history and Eastern culture. After all, before the Qing Empire, China was the world hegemon. In a unipolar world for thousands of years, many countries have been licking for thousands of years, and they have determined that it is delicious that even farts by the Chinese.
"What is science? Traditional Chinese medicine is not scientific? Western medicine that has been developed for two or three hundred years is used to measure traditional Chinese medicine that has been developed for five thousand years? Elementary school students evaluate doctoral students?"
Li Bai asked back.
Using Western medicine to measure traditional Chinese medicine is the biggest unscientific itself.
"But metaphysics and traditional Chinese medicine are too complicated and there are not enough theories to prove it!"
Julian's face turned a little red. He didn't know how to refute it. In fact, he didn't know much about metaphysics and traditional Chinese medicine. He only had superficial words and words, and had no idea about the deeper meaning and content.
"That's because the West has a low level of development and is not enough to understand more advanced Chinese medicine. How can primary school students who only know four calculations understand calculus, or even advanced mathematics like the Lagrangian multiplication method."
Li Bai shrugged his shoulders, and Eastern culture suffered a loss because it lacked rigorous sorting and classification. Otherwise, Western civilization would have been abusing them, and there would be no chance of rising.
"I, I can't understand unless you can prove it!"
Julian shook his head, he would not be easily convinced.
"Ah, yes, seeing is true!"
Although he is very curious about Eastern culture, Jenny wants to see how Li Bai's mouth can prove her correctness.
