First of all, let's restore the news itself: Ms. Wang, a 35-year-old citizen of Changsha, is thin. Recently, she went to a massage parlor to treat shoulder pain with acupuncture. Unexpectedly, a few needles went down and punctured her lungs, causing severe pneumothorax and almost dying. First, Ms. Wang went to a massage parlor for treatment. What is the nature of this massage parlor? Cupping in massage parlors is acceptable, but how can acupuncture, a medical method with particularly high technical content, appear in massage parlors?
In the same period, in May 1 1, experts in cardiothoracic surgery in Changsha Central Hospital reminded the public that it is best to go to qualified medical institutions for acupuncture treatment. This sentence should imply that this massage parlor is not qualified, but a beauty salon under the guise of Chinese medicine. That is, this kind of person, the word "Chinese medicine" has been completely hacked in recent years.
Then it became clear that it had nothing to do with being too thin. Acupuncture has been handed down since ancient times and varies from person to person. As far as physical fitness is concerned, regular Chinese medicine practitioners must have methods for thin people when giving needles, but the "Chinese medicine practitioners" in this massage parlor where Ms. Wang is located do not have such methods.
In this way, the pneumothorax caused by this accident should not be carried by acupuncture at first, and then it should not be carried if it is too thin. The main responsibility of this incident lies in the "Chinese medicine" who gave the needle. Note that this Chinese medicine is quoted, because according to the news, the hospital reminds this institution that it is not a listed medical institution.
Therefore, there is no discussion on the scientific basis of acupuncture in this incident, which is an accident caused by unlicensed medical practice and a crisis of trust caused by the proliferation of pseudo-Chinese medicine.
