Dr. Siu: Una Cura Oriental para un Problema Global (Cáncer)

El doctor Siu, graduado en medicina de la Universidad de Singapur y actualmente practicando en Kuala Lumpur, fue solicitado a dar un discurso improvisado apenas 20 minutos antes del evento. Enfatizó la importancia de proporcionar comodidad a los pacientes, especialmente a aquellos que enfrentan cáncer avanzado, citando la creencia de Sir William Osler de que los médicos deben "a veces curar, a menudo aliviar, pero siempre consolar." El doctor Su abogó por la apertura a la medicina herbal, utilizando la quinina como un ejemplo probado de tratamiento efectivo derivado de hierbas, y animó a sus colegas médicos a considerar tanto los enfoques occidentales como los herbales como métodos válidos para el cuidado del paciente.

Transcripción

Okay. Mister Liu advised Doctor Xi from Malaysia to talk to us. The reason that he would like to go upstage, and the reason why I'm here is because Mister Lu asked me to give an impromptu speech. Good morning, Tatia hao. I'd like to just briefly introduce myself. I'm Doctor Su. I'm a medical graduate from the University of Singapore.

I did a master's degree in occupational medicine in Australia. Currently, I'm a private practitioner in Kuala Lumpur. To be honest, I actually have not prepared to speak. I didn't bring any slides or materials here, and I only found out that I was going to speak 20 minutes ago when Mister Lu came to my table. So, I'm not going to go into detail about Tencent and all these things.

Instead, I would just like to share some personal feelings on this matter. First of all, I would like to say that there's no such thing as a free lunch; I have to sing for my lunch. As a practicing doctor, I always subscribe to the saying of Sir William Osler, one of the greatest physicians. He said, "To cure sometimes, to relieve often, but to comfort always." That is the duty of our physicians, and it is the duty of all doctors.

Any good doctor would comfort their patients, even if they cannot cure them. We know that a lot of patients come to us when cancer is already at a very advanced stage. At that point, nothing can be done to cure it. What we can do instead is to provide a better quality of life in the last stages of life. As I understand it, this Tian Xian liquid has properties that are beneficial for the early stages; it can cure and relieve symptoms, and it can always comfort patients by relieving pain.

This certainly aligns with what Sir William Osler has said. In Malaysia, the doctors tend to be very conservative, much like in the States. I think Doctor Paul wins. In the States, doctors are often hesitant to use alternative treatments. The same situation occurs in Malaysia, where many Western-trained doctors avoid herbal medicine.

I often have discussions with them, arguing that quinine, which is derived from herbs, is a very good example of effective herbal medicine used to treat malaria. It has been proven to be effective, showing that herbal medicine indeed has its value. We cannot deny this. To paraphrase the great leader of China, Deng Xiaoping, "No matter if the cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice, it's a good cat." So I appeal to all doctors to keep an open mind.

Be liberal in your approach. Any medicine, whether Western or herbal, that can effectively treat a disease is a valid method. Thank you.
