Five years after studying as a teacher, he was entrusted by Mr. Lu to visit Suzhou on behalf of his master. Later, he returned to Hangzhou in 1947 and opened an ophthalmology clinic, officially The hanging pot helps the world.

In the process of studying medicine, Tang Youzhi discovered that for ophthalmology, only knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine is not enough, and modern medicine should also be studied systematically. So in 1952, he applied for Beijing Medical College, and systematically studied Western medicine for five years. .

Tang Youzhi and Lu Guangxin are roommates in the same dormitory. In 2009, they were both rated as the first batch of "Traditional Chinese Medicine" doctors in my country and won the title of Master of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

The golden needle obstruction removal technique has a history of thousands of years in China, but it has always been a secret medical skill in the past. Moreover, the golden needle obstruction removal technique uses a ciliary body plana incision, which in the eyes of modern Western medicine is This is a restricted area for surgery. Western medicine believes that this area is prone to sympathetic ophthalmia, bleeding and infection.

Mr. Tang’s sleep is also very regular. He will maintain more than seven hours of sleep every day. If a patient comes to see a doctor in the middle of the night, he will take the time to catch up on his sleep after the treatment. He believes that good sleep is energy. Gas station. When he reaches old age, he will still take a nap for half an hour to an hour every day.
