Features: The author, Mr. Zhang Ying, is a highly skilled TCM general practitioner. This book is a summary of his decades of clinical experience, compiled with the assistance of his daughter, Dr. Zhang Wenwei. From a young age, Mr. Zhang received guidance from his family and studied the classics of TCM. He is adept at absorbing the strengths of his predecessors while daring to innovate, following the ancient wisdom without being rigidly bound by it. In his clinical practice, he often devises effective formulas and demonstrates a strategic approach to medicine, akin to using troops in warfare. The author has made significant contributions in various fields, including internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, pediatrics, acupuncture, tuina (massage), and qigong. This book primarily features medical case studies, divided into three parts. The first part covers case studies from internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, and pediatrics, involving a wide range of diseases and abundant successful treatments. The author has dedicated particular effort to burn surgery, pioneering the treatment of extensive burns (scalds) in China and achieving excellent results. Therefore, the TCM diagnosis and treatment of burns are separated from surgery and presented as the second part. The third part includes other external therapies, such as acupuncture, topical applications, nasal insufflations, steam baths, radiant heat therapy, induced emesis, and incisional drainage. As the ancients said, "Diseases have their threads and weaves, norms and degrees, purity and complexity, order and chaos." The author also believes that there are diseases absent in ancient medical texts but entirely curable. That is, even when the cause of a disease is unclear, based on the diagnostic principles of traditional Chinese medicine, one can employ ingenious strategies and deeply study the pathogenesis. Though mysterious and complex diseases may seem endless, the physician's methods can also be endlessly varied. With such profound understanding, one can remain composed and decisive in clinical practice.
