Three Kingdoms

Chapter 3229 Medical

 There is a strong smell of blood in the Hundred Medical Center.

 This **** smell cannot be covered up even if the smell of drugs and alcohol is mixed in it.

 Below Tongguan, there are temporary first aid stations, but for those wounded soldiers who have been seriously injured, Chang'an's Hundred Medical Center may be their last stop.

 Either life or death.

Hua Tuo has only slept for two or three hours for several days.

 He ​​is a senior physician at Jinchuangke. Although other senior doctors will come to Jinchuangke to help, many important surgeries are still waiting for Hua Tuo to perform one after another.

Of course, Hua Tuo is not the only one doing the surgery, but Hua Tuo is the main one, and after each operation, Hua Tuo also records the surgical experience and registers it for filing, so the time seems to be There is never enough.

 In fact, the pace of development of traditional Chinese medicine in ancient China was not slow at first, nor was it all superstitious as some later generations said.

 Without the foundation of traditional medicine, how can we have the cornerstone of modern medicine?

 It's like anatomy.

 Anatomy is one of the most important Western scientific knowledge introduced to China in modern times. When some people talk about Chinese and Western medicine, they will always praise the beauty of modern Western medicine and the stupidity of traditional Chinese medicine. They will inevitably mention anatomy. The so-called "Western theory lies in anatomy", but in fact this is not the case. , the first to carry out dissection was in China.

It has to be said that in terms of hands-on ability alone, the ancients should be superior to today's people, because the scientific and technological civilization in ancient times was not as developed as it is now, and people can only achieve a better life through their own hands. A doctor who has learned a lot of medical knowledge in later generations and mastered various modern medical treatment methods often cannot become a miracle doctor even if he travels to ancient times. The reason is very simple. Modern medicine in later generations is based on various tests. Without testing instruments, we will be confused.

Had it not been for the fact that later Chinese medicine practitioners were interrupted many times like craftsmen, Chinese medicine would definitely have the opportunity to take the lead in entering the category of modern medicine.

 The boldness of ancient traditional medicine exceeds the imagination of some people.

Anatomy was a matter of ancient China, but it did not form an orderly inheritance discipline. This is related to the system of the Chinese feudal dynasty, but it does not obliterate the exploration of anatomy in traditional Chinese medicine and completely westernize its achievements.

For example, it is recorded in "Lingshu Jingshui" that "if a man is eight feet tall, his skin and flesh are here and can be measured and traced outside." Death can be seen through dissection. The firmness and brittleness of the internal organs, the size of the internal organs, the number of grains, the length of the pulse, the clearness and turbidity of the blood, the amount of qi, the excess blood and less qi in the twelve meridians, and the lack of blood and more qi. , both have more blood and Qi, and both have less blood and Qi, and both have large numbers. 』

There is also classmate Wang Mang who is suspected of being a time traveler. He also organized an autopsy and was recorded. "Mang sent the imperial physician, Shang Fang, and Qiao Tu to cut and peel it together, measure the five treasures, guide its veins with bamboo strips, and know where it ends..."

Perhaps the historians recorded this incident because they thought Wang Mang was cruel and tried to compare it to King Zhou's cannons. However, this was indeed the first recorded organized human dissection activity presided over by an emperor in the world.

As for why Chinese traditional medicine could not transform into modern medicine in modern times, there are many reasons, but the most important reason is because of the ignorant policies of the feudal dynasty.

 In feudal dynasties, especially in the Qing Dynasty, which was closest to modern times, the best doctors served their masters and foreigners and had nothing to do with ordinary people. Because of its slave-owner variant of the political system, the Qing Dynasty conquered the ruling class not only to guard against the Han people, but also against all people, including the Manchu and Mongolian marriages that were beautified by some later film and television literature.

Under the rule of the Qing Dynasty, both Han and Mongolian people had extremely high disease rates and extremely low average life expectancy. The development of medicine not only stagnated, but also regressed, which led to more quack doctors among the people. It is similar to some placebos that can cure all diseases in later generations. The average life span of about forty that could be achieved in the Han Dynasty was still the same in the Qing Dynasty. In order to ensure that the hard-core cropping privileged class is not overthrown, the population at the bottom is consciously controlled. This theory has also been adopted by the elites of later capitalist countries...

Therefore, those scammers who wear white coats and pretend to be from a certain brick-and-mortar family, and then use oil, rice, and eggs as bait during live telemarketing seminars, preach that certain equipment, items, and health products can cure all difficult and complicated diseases. It is also included in the medical category of traditional Chinese medicine, which is undoubtedly a harm to Chinese medicine.

 But now in the Han Dynasty, there are some different changes in the Hundred Medical Clinic.

"Remember..." Hua Tuo's voice was a little tired, but still full of strength. "Before the wound is bandaged and sutured, it must be thoroughly cleaned and debris removed, otherwise it will be difficult to heal... The patient just now was in the bone seam of the wound. There is a fragment of an arrow remaining..."

 Behind Hua Tuo, several apprentices followed closely and listened carefully.

"Before and after the operation, the instruments and utensils must be counted..." Hua Tuo sighed, "Yesterday, a planer was found in the body of a wounded soldier... I don't know how I forgot..."

　　"By the way, I reported it to the college examiner that the planer is not tough enough and sharp enough, and it cannot cut through some hard knots..."

　　　　The twine used to sew wounds is too thick and can easily remain, so it should be used with caution. Twine cannot be used everywhere... By the way, the catgut mentioned by General Hussar, is there any new news from the Research and Development Department? 』

Hua Tuo was giving instructions when he suddenly heard a noise coming from outside the Hundred Medical Center...

Hua Tuo was stunned for a moment, then hurried forward to the courtyard and asked, "What's going on?" 』

 Zhang Yun was in the hospital with an angry face. When he saw Hua Tuo coming, he calmed down his anger a little and said in a deep voice, "Doctor Taicang was beaten!" 』

"ah? Hua Tuo couldn't believe it, "Who dares to attack Taicang Gong?" ! 』

Zhang Yun saw this and quickly added, "It's not Mr. Taicang, it's Xiao Taicang." 』

 The Duke of Taicang is Taicang Chunyu, and the little Taicang is Taicang Ying.

Hearing this, Hua Tuo felt a little relieved, but he quickly mentioned it again. Even if he is a small Taicang, he cannot be beaten and scolded at will!

Hua Tuo had a good impression of Taicang Ying, because although Taicang Ying was a woman, she was not shy about human body blood stains, and she was not like some noble ladies who covered their noses and vomited, looking faint, but tough. She is diligent, studious and humble, and has become a template for female doctors in the Hundred Medical Clinics...

How could such a doctor be injured?

 After a brief inquiry, Hua Tuo finally understood.

Although Taicang Ying's focus is on gynecology and infants, in the face of the current situation of many wounded soldiers, she also assists Jinchuangke in treating wounded soldiers. This was originally a good thing, but today for some unknown reason, someone suddenly rushed to the Baiyi Clinic and cursed Taicang Ying for killing someone, and even took advantage of it...

 Fortunately, the apprentices and doctors in the Hundred Medical Center saw that the situation was not good, stepped forward to stop them, and subdued those people. There was no doubt that there would be more trouble.

　　　　She...is she okay? ” Hua Tuo asked anxiously.

 Zhang Yun gestured slightly.

In the courtyard wing, Taicang Ying was gritting his teeth, enduring the pain of high alcohol spraying on his wound.

Hua Tuo saw that her arm was scratched and there were several long blood marks.

　　　『Why weren't you more careful...』 Hua Tuo blurted out subconsciously.

Taicang Ying rolled his eyes and turned his head to the side, leaving Hua Tuo with a braid **** in a scarf.

"This..." Hua Tuo wanted to step forward to help, but after the previous operation, his body and hands were not completely clean. In addition, the person who helped Taicang Ying was a female apprentice, so he could only do it on the side. in a hurry.

　Taicang Ying was not seriously injured.

Although the sudden quarrels and insults made Taicang Ying, who was sitting outside the Hundred Medical Center, a little confused, there were still some female apprentices around Taicang Ying. They stopped the agitated people immediately, and then the guards rushed coming. Just at the beginning, Taicang Ying was accidentally grabbed by the arm, and then received several cuts...

Hua Tuo looked at it and smacked his lips twice, "You...you have a good rest first, and don't worry about other things..."

Taicang Ying lowered his head and didn’t reply.

She felt aggrieved, but she had a strong personality, so she suppressed it and didn't show it.

She was obviously trying hard to heal the patients and help the injured, but she was reviled, insulted, and even touched...

 The deaths of the wounded soldiers were not directly related to her, and many wounded soldiers even survived because of her treatment.

 The atmosphere in the wing seemed dull and depressing.

Hua Tuo was not good at words. He uh-huh-huh-huh, he didn't know what to say. He just looked at the wound on Taicang Ying's arm with distress, then came out with a frown and found it. Zhang Yun said, "Healing the wounded and rescuing the dead is a life-threatening act. This...how can this be blamed on Xiao Taicang?" 』

　　　　Isn’t it? Zhang Yun also frowned, "It is said that the wounded soldiers are yang men and Taicang is yin women. If yin and yang conflict, it will kill people!" Listen, is there such a truth? It’s just nonsense! The people from the inspection office will come later, but they have to talk about it!　　　　　The sound of crying and howling outside the Hundred Medical Center still continued.

Hua Tuo, who was standing in the courtyard, could still vaguely hear some crying sounds...

　　　『God **** it…my child…』

　　『It’s all her, it’s all her…』

　　　"My son, he was killed alive..."

 ‘He is fighting for the hussars…’

　　　　My son...』

　　　"There is no peace even after death..."

The more Hua Tuo listened, the tighter his brows became, "Isn't this person the same person?" ! 』

 Obviously, if there were only one or two people, this would not happen.

Most of the people who come to Baiyi Medical Center to cause trouble are of the "law does not blame the crowd" type. As long as they feel that there are many people, they are taking advantage of the law. Even if I know in my heart that I may not be reasonable, either because of emotions or because of customs, you pull me and I follow you, and I don’t care after you get the upper hand.

Zhang Yun sighed, "These people don't know who has been deceived by them!" How hateful! 』

Hua Tuo did not go out and argue with those crying people. Although he was very angry and confused, it was obviously a stupid thing to reason with those loud people at this time. He just thought about whether he had caused Taicang Ying. , because he heard that those people were also complaining about the autopsy...

Among the hundreds of medical clinics, the male doctor who dissected the most corpses was naturally Hua Tuo, and if we talk about female doctors, then it was Taicang Ying.

Even Taicang Ying dissected more female corpses than Hua Tuo.

"Anatomy..." Hua Tuo frowned and looked back at the side room with some worry.

When China was promoting loyalty and filial piety, there was a saying that "the skin of the body is received by the parents, and one dare not damage it, which is the beginning of filial piety", and believed that this was a "natural principle" that could not be violated. It was then preached by many well-known Confucian scholars and became Under such universal values, even ordinary people must first pass Confucius’s threshold for haircuts.

  Confucius said that people's words and deeds should be centered on filial piety, and filial piety can start from protecting one's hair and skin...

Perhaps this is the beginning of China’s beauty industry?

 But this is not actually the understanding.

What Confucius said must be combined with the social environment at that time. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, China only had a small area of ​​the Central Plains, and the surrounding barbarians, Ronghu, had poor living conditions, so many people would shave their heads to avoid breeding insects. louse. At the same time, in the laws of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, some of the punishments were shaving, pricking the face, cutting off the feet, and other mutilation of limbs. Therefore, Confucius meant that ordinary people should not be bad, don't break the law, and don't let their bodies be harmed, knowing that they will The ones who feel distressed and sad are their own parents, which is the beginning of filial piety.

Because in ancient China, the cultural level of ordinary people was not high. If you explain more, a large group of people will not only become more and more confused, but also dissatisfied, so they can only use Feng Shui to indicate that the toilet is at this location. , the bedroom is at that location, it’s just what Feng Shui says, it has nothing to do with ventilation or bacteria.

Although Fei Qianqian went to Qinglong Temple to explain and elaborate on the new theory of loyalty and filial piety of the Han Dynasty, it was not easy to spread it from Qinglong Temple to the general public, not to mention that according to the traditional concept, the body should not be intact after death. Yes, we need to carve it out of wood...

Strictly speaking, the Hundred Medical Center did not dissect the bodies of dead or wounded soldiers.

 Because it is completely unnecessary. Although Feiqian implemented various welfare policies in Chang'an to appease people's livelihood and encourage production, it does not mean that the current production and living conditions of the Han Dynasty can advance to a very high level. Many people will still die unexpectedly during production and life. And no one has restrained yet. Those who have no relatives to help collect the bodies will be dealt with collectively. A small part of them will become the source of corpses for autopsy in the Hundred Medical Center, and then the Hundred Medical Center will prepare a coffin for these corpses, which is always better than wrapping them in torn mats and throwing them in mass graves.

However, during this period, because there were many wounded soldiers, and after the wounded soldiers died due to various diseases, it was always necessary to record the cause of death and explore the gains and losses in the treatment process. Therefore, after the death of the wounded soldiers, the wounded soldiers would be inspected. Anatomy, observation recording and research. There was nothing wrong with this originally, and it was understandable, but now, for some reason, it was rumored that the Hundred Medical Center was deliberately destroying the bodies of wounded soldiers...

“Intentional” is indeed “intentional”, but it is not “destructive”. But the question is, can the people understand the difference?

 The people from the inspection office arrived quickly.

Of course, there was nothing to say to these common people who vented their emotions in the Hundred Medical Center, beat, scolded, and even scratched Taicang Ying, so they were arrested on the spot.

The person was taken away, but the matter did not stop there.

Zhang Yun is the person in charge of Baiyi Medical Center. He naturally followed the inspection to deal with follow-up matters. Taicang Ying also went to rest temporarily because he was hurt and frightened.

Hua Tuo stood in the hospital, temporarily replacing Zhang Yun in arranging and presiding over some matters in the Baiyi Clinic, and arranging personnel on duty to prevent such a similar thing from happening again.

But soon, a doctor from the medical center found Hua Tuo and said hesitantly that he felt a little uncomfortable, so he would not participate in the autopsy for the past few days.

Hua Tuo was stunned for a moment, looking at the doctor's troubled expression, and finally just nodded silently.

He understood the doctor's concerns and knew that the so-called unwellness was just an excuse, but he didn't know what to say. After all, he was not good at words when it came to dissecting a corpse, so he could only agree to the doctor's request.

With such an opening from a doctor, more people have asked for leave under various excuses.

 In the end, even Hua Tuo's apprentices came to the side, looking like they were looking at each other.

　　　　You also want to take leave? Hua Tuo asked with a frown.

The apprentice subconsciously wanted to wave his hand, but hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Great doctor, how about we stop for a while?" I heard what people outside are saying...it's very unpleasant..."

　　　　What is being said outside? ” Hua Tuo asked.

　　　『They, they are saying...』 The apprentice scratched his head and felt very embarrassed.

"explain! 』Hua Tuo couldn't help his anger.

"Great doctor, I told you not to be angry..." The apprentice shrank his neck, "They said outside that this matter...may not be true...it is better to believe that it is true than to believe that it is not true...they also said that it is better to be careful... said Piao It’s been a long time since I left Chang’an, so it’s inevitable that some people will have malicious intentions…”

　　　『Asshole! ” Hua Tuo shouted angrily.

The apprentice suddenly trembled, "Great doctor, this...this is not what I said!" 』

Hua Tuo was breathing heavily and didn't know what to say. He held back a sentence for a while, "They, how could they do this!" 』

Hua Tuo was very confused and couldn't understand it.

 The people are indeed simple, but they behave like this at a certain moment...

 A wolf's heart and a dog's lungs?

 Are you ungrateful?

 No, they are just ignorant and easily fooled.

It’s like talking about a certain “dish”, but suddenly the next day it all turned into a certain “intestine”!

 Are there any problems with the intestines?

There are indeed problems, but where is the real problem?

　　When all the people have forgotten the vegetables and turned to the intestines, is it the people's fault?

Looking back and thinking about it, why are people so easily led to the intestines?

Has the same intestine appeared before? If so, why can't you remember it?

 If not, why has it been said for thousands of years that people can know it but cannot know it?

 Is this a disease?

 If so, how to treat it?

  Hua Tuo was very confused and had a headache.
