Wizard of All Souls

Pharmacists are rare.

I heard that in the past, there was only one person in Albert Castle.

It's hard for Harvey to imagine how people saw a doctor at that time.

However, since having his father, everything has changed.

His father put forward the idea that there should be only one pharmacist stationed in each village.

"How could it be possible!"

This was the first thought in everyone's mind when they heard this concept.

Unexpectedly, in just a few years, more than half of it has been realized—although there are still many flaws.

...

In the courtyard.

A man in his twenties, who was bandaging a patient's wound, was notified and found the village chief, Harvey and others standing outside the courtyard.

The man got up quickly and walked out the door.

"Master Harvey, I didn't expect you to come in person." The village doctor Derry said respectfully to Harvey.

"The medicinal materials are all in the carriage behind me. Let someone move them down." As he said that, Harvey took out a small box, "It contains refined medicine, and the share is not much, so use it sparingly."

"Thank you, Mr. Harvey." Derry took the box, his eyes sparkling.

The medicine inside is precious.

With these medicines, many patients who had no hope of survival had the hope of being cured.

After handing everything over to Derry.

Harvey said: "You all go to your own affairs, I will go to inspect the village and see what has changed in the village after not coming for a long time."

Watching Derry back among the sick.

Harvey remembered the doubts in his mind before.

At that time, he always felt that reading was useless and that reading was a waste of time.

As a knight, wouldn't it be good to be able to read and write? Why do you spend so much time reading books?

As a farmer, you can't even do the farm work, and you still have the mind to study?

Later, when his father offered to station a pharmacist in each existence.

Everyone is dumbfounded.

pharmacist?

That's a rarity.

Talented people have to be taught by others and have to study for more than ten years before they can become a qualified pharmacist.

One for each village?

At that time, his father said, "I don't require everyone to be a qualified pharmacist. Rather, it doesn't matter whether they are a pharmacist or not, as long as they can treat diseases."

As he spoke, his father took out a "Village Doctor Handbook" written by him himself.

It records the treatment methods of more than ten common diseases, and the cooking methods of several common medicines.

Very shabby.

"What I need is someone who can understand this book and treat diseases according to the contents of the book. It should be very simple, right?" His father said.

simple?

In Harvey's eyes, of course it is simple.

It might as well be too simple.

He thought that anyone with a little brain could easily learn it.

He was wrong.

He was amazed to watch his father teach others to study the Village Doctor's Handbook.

It turned out that I didn't talk about it.

It really makes people 100% follow the methods recorded in the book to treat diseases.

Fever should be treated as a fever.

A runny nose is a cold.

Bandage the cut to stop the bleeding.

Stomach pain is eating the wrong thing...

It's taken for granted.

Even if he is not a pharmacist, he also knows that a fever is not necessarily a fever, a headache is not necessarily a stroke, and stomach pains are often not caused by eating the wrong food.

Isn't this kind of treatment harmful?

Let this kind of person be a village doctor?

It's a murder for money!

He questioned it immediately, and suggested it to his father.

The answer he got was: "Don't worry, just watch carefully, and you will know the answer later."

Yes.

He did know the answer later.

"If you want to become a village doctor, the minimum requirement is to be able to understand the "Village Doctor Handbook", which means you must be able to read."

"There are quite a few literate people among the nobles, but are the nobles willing to stay in the village all year round?"

"Just because of literacy, a large number of people have been screened out."

"Afterwards, although it is a temporary village doctor, it still needs some understanding of medicinal materials."

"There are more than a dozen commonly used medicinal materials, and there are more than a hundred that are occasionally used. The efficacy of each medicinal material needs to be written down."

"There are also some medicinal materials that are difficult to distinguish. Compared with weeds, this may be a small difference in texture."

"If some medicinal materials are not handled properly, they will become poison instead."

Even Harvey himself felt a bit of a headache trying to remember the efficacy, appearance and processing methods of more than a hundred kinds of medicinal materials.

According to his father, his educational level is still in the second grade of junior high school.

Others are not even as good as the third grade of elementary school.

"I didn't expect that it would require so much knowledge to treat diseases just rigidly according to the contents of the "Village Doctor Handbook."

"How difficult is it to train a real pharmacist?"

"Fortunately, the knight training base founded by my father has trained many literate civilians. Otherwise, even such a crude policy would not be able to be implemented."

Moreover, even if it is only a village doctor of this level.

He found that there was a world of difference between having a village doctor and not having a village doctor.

In his opinion, the village doctor, who is inferior to quack doctors, is actually the object of many people's praise.

In some villages that have not been assigned a village doctor, they actually walked for half a day to see the village doctor.

but.

No matter how beloved.

A village doctor is just a village doctor.

It is a group of people with a third-grade education level in elementary school, holding a crude "Village Doctor Handbook" to treat diseases.

Most minor illnesses like fever and cold are not a problem to be cured, and there is no solution for slightly serious ones.

so.

Every village doctor can be allocated a certain amount of medicine every month.

This is a medicine made by an official pharmacist himself.

When the village doctor encounters an incurable disease, he can use ready-made medicine.

If the medicine does not work.

Then you can apply for the pharmacist apprentice next to the pharmacist to come and treat the disease—if the patient is not dead when the pharmacist apprentice comes.

The pharmacist's apprentice can't cure it either.

Then you can apply for a pharmacist—if the patient is not dead when the pharmacist comes.

Neither can the pharmacist.

In the end, he could even invite his father, Will Albert.

Of course, this set of procedures goes down.

A year and a half have passed.

Most of the patients are gone.

"It's also unavoidable."

"In Albert's territory, there are only three official pharmacists, and each of them is a student who has been taught by my father for many years since he was fifteen or sixteen years old."

"There are only a few pharmacist apprentices."

"Father himself is extremely busy. How can he have time to come to this kind of village to treat ordinary people?"

"but."

"The future will get better and better."

"The level of village doctors will become higher and higher. Village doctors at the level of Delhi will be eliminated sooner or later."

"With the establishment of Guanghui Academy, the enrollment of civilians."

"There will be more and more literate people."

"There will be more and more people who can reach the level of junior high school and high school."

"The world will move in a better direction."

Gazing at the rising sun in the east.

Harvey only felt that the future was full of hope.
