Traditional Chinese Medicine Surgery, subject name. The naming of this specialty after surgery in Traditional Chinese Medicine began in the Song Dynasty. See Wu Qiyu's "New Book of Surgery" in the Song Dynasty, which is a special book on surgery. Before the Song Dynasty, surgery was mostly called ulcer medicine. It is a specialized discipline that studies the causes, pathology, syndromes, diagnosis, treatment, and medical technology of surface diseases. Including carbuncles, gangrene, sores, ulcers, scabies, ringworm, injuries and other diseases. After the Song Dynasty, most of the specialized works on such diseases were named after surgery.

Surgery is the science that studies the occurrence, development and clinical manifestations, diagnosis, prevention and treatment of surgical diseases.

Surgical diseases are divided into five major categories: trauma, infection, tumor, deformity and dysfunction. These diseases often require surgery or manipulation as the main treatment method. Therefore, surgery has become a unique treatment method of surgery. People often regard the need for surgical treatment as the criterion for distinguishing between medical and surgical diseases. But surgery is not the same as surgery. Surgery is just one of the methods of treating surgical diseases.

The scope of surgery has expanded to all parts of the body, and it is difficult to develop deeper. Therefore, surgery has to carry out a more detailed division of labor. Within the scope of surgery, in addition to general surgery (including abdominal surgery), separate departments have been established. Craniocerebral, thoracic, cardiovascular, urology, orthopedics, plastic surgery, trauma, burns, tumors, pediatric surgery, neurosurgery, etc. Some also establish specialties such as microsurgery and organ transplantation.

Internal medicine occupies an extremely important position in clinical medicine. It is not only the basis of various clinical medicine disciplines, but also closely related to them. The knowledge of internal medicine comes from medical practice. In the process of treating diseases and saving lives, medical scientists in the past have continuously accumulated experience, discarded the false and retained the true, discarded the rough and extracted the essence. They have continuously improved their level of understanding through practice. Through years of long-term accumulation, they have gradually formed a systematic system. methods of diagnosing and treating diseases. Generations of medical scientists have sorted out and summarized this knowledge gained through practice. And through systematic research (including evidence-based medicine research in recent years), it developed into the current internal medicine. An excellent clinician must not only have the desire to serve the people, but also have the ability to serve the people. To acquire the ability to treat diseases, one must be good at reading and diligent in practice, and constantly sum up experience and lessons in practice. Only after so many years of in-depth study and hard work can one become successful.

Internal medicine is generally divided into: cardiology, neurology, respiratory medicine, gastroenterology, nephrology, endocrinology, rheumatology, and hematology
