魯迅看中西醫

Lu Xun's View on Chinese and Western Medicine Represented in His Works

魯迅以《阿Q正傳》聞名於世，他所創造的「阿Q」，成為舊中國國民性的代號。而在國共內戰期間，魯迅選擇幫助共產黨，影響了很多當代文士背離了國民黨，成為紅色新中國的功臣。雖然新中國的開朝元老很推崇魯迅，但對於中醫藥的觀點，還好沒有受到魯迅的影響。而魯迅對於中醫藥的印象，出於魯迅的父親在年紀不大的時候，接受中醫師的不當處置而送了性命；從此魯迅對於中醫自是不抱好感，並且還因如此東渡日本學習西醫兩年，終因自己的資材、性向以及想法，認為文學比醫學更能拯救中國，所以棄醫從文，後來成就一番大事業。相對比較下，台灣的中醫藥沒有國家鼎力支持，但也因民眾實際上的需要以及顯現出來的治療效果，還是一步一腳印地留下進步的印記。值此新世紀肇始，談魯迅的中西醫學觀；筆者認為台灣中醫界應該有所省思：魯迅的對於中醫看法，可以敦促我們對於中醫制度的建立、醫師訓練的明確界定以及轉診制度的落實等等，有助中醫進步的方案──實現，使中醫能百尺竿頭，更進一步提供民眾更好的醫療服務。文中談到魯迅的預立遺囑，以及醫師應該努力去醫治可以治好的病，提供良好的醫療服務；對於有些患者臨終且不能醫好的病，就不要再勉強地去治療，該由安寧緩和醫療和臨終關懷的層面去做全人醫療。魯迅生命中的最後一程，已作了最好的榜樣。

Lu Xun is famous for ''The True Story of Ah Q'', in which the ''Ah Q'' he created became the code name of old Chinese national character. However, during the period of the civil war between KMT and the Communist Party, Lu Xun chose to help the Communist Party that made many contemporary literati deviate from KMT, and made Lu Xun a contributor of red new China. Although the pioneers of the new China valued Lu Xun a lot, it was fortunately that the Chinese medical concept was not affected by Lu Xun. Lu Xun's impression of Chinese medicine was formed when his father died at a young age because of a Chinese medical practitioner's improper treatment. Therefore, Lu Xun had no good impression of Chinese medicine, and even went to Japan to study western medicine for 2 years. Finally, because of his own talent, aptitude, and thinking, he thought that literature could save China better than medicine, and then, he gave up medicine to be a man of letters, and had a great achievement at last. On the contrary, in Taiwan, although Chinese medicine is not fully supported by the government, Chinese medicine still progresses step by step because of the actual needs of people and the treatment effect it shows. When talking about Lu Xun's Chinese and western medical concept at the beginning of this new century, the writer thinks the Taiwan Chinese medicine circle should have introspection. Lu Xun's viewpoints of Chinese medicine could urge us to establish the Chinese medical system, clearly define the training for physicians, and carry out referral system, which could help to implement the projects good for Chinese medicine progress one by one to make Chinese medicine much better and further provide better medical service for the public. In this article, it talks about Lu Xun's pre-made will, also that physicians should make efforts to treat the diseases that could be cured and provide good medical service. As to those patients having the diseases that can't be cured, physicians shouldn't treat the diseases loathly, but do total patient care from the aspects of peaceful and soft remedy and hospice care. The last stage of Lu Xun's life had been the best model.
