Liang Lian'er, Chief Physician of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), still adheres to the front line of diagnosis and treatment at the age of 71. With more than 50 years of benevolent medical skills, he interprets the doctor's responsibility of "Blessings of the Apricot Grove, Benevolent Skills to Heal the People". Born into an orthodox TCM family, he was influenced by family education since childhood and immersed himself in the way of traditional Chinese medicine, forging an indissoluble bond with TCM. His grandfather, Mr. Liang Futang, was a renowned senior TCM physician in Daocheng (Qingdao), with profound scholarship and exquisite medical skills, who once enjoyed the honor of professor. He practiced medicine all his life, saving lives and healing the wounded, and his medical ethics and reputation spread all over Shandong Province, laying a solid foundation for the Liang family's medical heritage.
Influenced and taught by his grandfather, Liang Lian'er embarked on the road of learning TCM in his childhood. He recited classic TCM works such as Compendium of Materia Medica, Shanghan Zabing Lun (Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases), and Huangdi Neijing (Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic) every day, and devoted himself to studying the essentials of classic prescriptions. Under his grandfather's personal guidance and heart-to-hand teaching, he gradually comprehended the essence of TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment, and cultivated a solid basic foundation in TCM. His diligent study in his youth laid a solid foundation for his future medical career and made him establish the original aspiration of "benevolent doctors saving lives and healing the wounded" at an early age.
To further improve his medical skills and broaden his vision of diagnosis and treatment, Liang Lian'er was admitted to Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, where he systematically studied TCM theoretical knowledge and clinical diagnosis and treatment techniques. During his school years, he was diligent and sincere, humbly consulted renowned professors in the university, and absorbed the strengths of various schools. He not only delved into traditional TCM classics, but also paid attention to integrating theory with practice, integrating the essence of family medical heritage inherited from his grandfather with the systematic TCM teaching in the university, forming a unique, rigorous and pragmatic diagnosis and treatment style. After graduation, he officially devoted himself to TCM clinical practice and embarked on a medical road of more than 50 years, never giving up.
After practicing medicine for half a lifetime, Liang Lian'er has always adhered to his original aspiration, maintained a benevolent heart, and constantly improved his medical skills. He has always advocated the diagnosis and treatment concept of "identifying the cause through syndrome differentiation and treating diseases from the root", not being content with simply relieving the patients' superficial symptoms, but paying more attention to exploring the root cause of the diseases, and striving to eradicate the diseases from the root and prevent recurrence. In clinical diagnosis and treatment, he interrogates patients carefully, differentiates syndromes patiently, and is good at accurately identifying the core pathogenesis of yin-yang deficiency and excess, qi-blood insufficiency and excess, and zang-fu disorders from complex syndromes, so as to prescribe the right medicine and treat based on syndrome differentiation.
In long-term clinical practice, Liang Lian'er has continuously explored and innovated, organically combining traditional classic prescriptions with characteristic therapies. He is proficient in applying "Qitong Therapy", which is good at dispelling deep wind-cold-damp pathogens in the patient's body, dredging blocked meridians and qi-blood, regulating zang-fu functions, and balancing yin-yang and qi-blood. This therapy is gentle and effective, especially suitable for various intractable diseases caused by cold-damp stagnation and unsmooth qi-blood. Over the years, it has helped countless patients get rid of the trouble of diseases and won high recognition and praise from the majority of patients.
Dr. Liang's areas of expertise are very extensive, focusing on various diseases related to cold-damp, yang deficiency and stagnation, with extremely rich clinical experience. In terms of musculoskeletal bi pain (pain caused by obstruction of meridians), he is good at diagnosing and treating cervical spondylosis, scapulohumeral periarthritis, lumbar disc herniation, knee arthritis, lumbar muscle strain, sciatica, as well as pain, stiffness and movement disorders caused by various rheumatoid arthritis, especially for musculoskeletal problems caused by long-term desk work and physical labor, with significant curative effect. In terms of spleen-stomach yang deficiency and cold, he focuses on regulating symptoms such as epigastric and abdominal cold pain (relieved by warmth and pressure), indigestion, poor appetite and chronic diarrhea in patients with cold-damp or yang-deficient constitution, helping patients restore spleen-stomach transportation and transformation function through invigorating the spleen, warming yang, dispelling cold and removing dampness. In terms of gynecological cold-stagnation and blood stasis, he is good at diagnosing and treating dysmenorrhea (aggravated by cold), delayed menstruation, dark and clotted menstrual blood, post-partum body pain, clear and thin leukorrhea, uterine cold and infertility, and various gynecological diseases caused by cold-damp stagnation, gently caring for women's health. In terms of chronic cold in the respiratory system, for chronic cough, asthma (induced or aggravated by cold), allergic rhinitis, frequent colds and other symptoms belonging to lung-defense qi deficiency and cold stagnation, he enhances patients' physical fitness and reduces the recurrence of diseases through warming the lung, dispelling cold, replenishing qi and consolidating the exterior. In terms of skin disorders, he is good at regulating chronic eczema, skin pruritus and other symptoms caused by wind-cold-damp pathogens blocking the skin, dispelling dampness, cold and nourishing blood and moistening dryness from the root. In addition, he also has a unique conditioning method for various symptoms of yang qi decline, such as aversion to cold and cold limbs, mental fatigue and lack of strength, frequent urination at night, local cold and numbness.
Now, Liang Lian'er is over seventy years old, with gray temples, but he still works in the consulting room and sticks to clinical practice. He attends the clinic on time every day and receives every patient patiently. He treats people warmly like spring, with a modest attitude. He interrogates patients in detail, always listens to their demands patiently, explains their conditions and diagnosis and treatment plans in plain language, and relieves their anxiety. His medication is precise like a soldier, with rigorous compatibility, taking into account both curative effect and mild medicinal properties, striving to relieve patients' pains in the most economical and safe way.
Over the years, Liang Lian'er has always encouraged himself with "A doctor's practice lies in intention; medicine lies in affection", focusing not only on the improvement of medical skills, but also on the cultivation of medical ethics. He not only cures patients with exquisite medical skills, but also is committed to the inheritance of TCM culture. He takes the initiative to share his medical experience and the essence of family medical heritage, and carefully teaches the younger generation, hoping to pass on the traditional TCM culture from generation to generation. After more than 50 years of medical practice, he has witnessed benevolent medical skills with a benevolent heart, practiced inheritance with curative effect, and written the responsibility and mission of a TCM practitioner with a lifetime of persistence, becoming a trustworthy good doctor in the hearts of patients and a practitioner of the inheritance and development of TCM.
