Chapter 108: Soul
In Wu Gang's eyes, Dugu Xiaoyi has always been an iceberg image, even in later contact, although Dugu Xiaoyi is not as cold as she seems, her performance has always been very rational. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info even said to be somewhat independent.
This sudden sensibility really made Wu Gang a little unrealistic, but the more so, the more Wu Gang listened, the more he felt something. What can make Dugu Xiaoyi show his true temperament, Wu Gang doesn't know what it is. Moreover, Wu Gang has never been to a bigger place, and he doesn't know what Dugu Xiaoyi is talking about.
But that doesn't stop Wu from being a good listener.
"Maybe it's time for a change. Dugu Xiaoyi finally said in a deep voice.
"Forty years ago, Mao Lao was still in middle age, and he could call himself a national hand at that time, and his subordinates didn't know how many lives he had lived. At that time, Mao Lao could be said to be well-known, and many admirers came to seek medical treatment. ”
Mao Lao refused to become a famous Chinese doctor, and walked north and south of the great river in China for a long time, during which he visited many old-timers in the medical field and constantly communicated and improved. Mao Lao stayed in Xinjiang for three years, and then came back to Tibet Province, stayed for two years, and then came all the way to Sha Province, Huzhou, Xiangshui, Yunzhou Thirteen Counties, all the way across the Yangtze River, across the Qinling Mountains, Yue Shangjing, to Qianzhou, Heilongjiang, Ji Province. ”
"He basically traveled all over the whole country and all the provinces, and he stayed for a long year or two, and only one or two months for the shortest. For a whole ten years, Mao Lao continued to research, constantly sought teachers and friends, and constantly collected all kinds of ancient prescriptions and medicines that were about to be broken. Moreover, along the way, there are many people who have inherited his favor. ”
At this time, Mao Lao's medical skills can be said to have reached a peak. The reason why Mao Lao did this is because in just a few decades, after the flow of Western medicine into China, it has developed rapidly, and it has basically impacted those herb doctors, barefoot doctors, as well as Miao doctors and Xinjiang doctors that were unique to our country before. ”
"Even, under the invasion of Western medicine, some people even want to ban such a great inheritance of Chinese medicine. You can think about how much vitality can a small inheritance like that kind of herb medicine have?"
However, fortunately, there are still some people who are silently struggling for Chinese medicine, and silently paying for the inheritance of Chinese medicine. And Mao Lao is such a kind of person. ”
"Mao Lao collected a lot of prescriptions that had been broken in ancient medical books, and finally came back and wanted to organize them into a book, hoping that these things would not be broken. ”
However, one night 30 years ago, Mao Lao happened to return home not long ago, and an old man in Beijing suddenly fell seriously ill, and basically all the doctors could not do anything about it. In the end, Mao Lao had to be contacted. ”
Although Mao Lao did not accept the title of traditional Chinese doctor, as long as there were patients who came to his door, he would go to see them, and as long as someone came to seek a doctor, he would go to consult one by one. Regardless of status, noble or poor. ”
That night, Mao Lao also went, and stayed for half a month, and finally cured the old man. However, when Mao Lao came back, all he could wait for was the news of the death of his wife who was about to give birth. ”
"Mao Lao's wife was about to give birth five days after Mao Lao left, and Mao Lao was not there at that time, so the neighbor sent her to the hospital. ”
"When I was in the hospital, everything was going well, but when I gave Mao Lao's wife a routine examination, I found that there was a shadow nodule in her skull. It just so happened that because of the birth at that time, Mao's wife's physical condition was not very good, and the natural delivery was really not smooth, so she urgently chose to have a caesarean section. ”
"If that's all it takes, that's it, but after the cesarean section went well, the doctor found that Mao Lao's wife had symptoms of shock, coupled with the previous head shadow, and suspected that there was a bleeding foci in the head. At that time, after rehydration, he urgently took advantage of the anesthesia to perform another craniotomy, and finally removed the slender shadow nodule. ”
The operation was very successful, but in the end, Mao's wife died. Moreover, Mao Lao's child also died because of malignant hemolytic jaundice within three days after giving birth. ”
In fact, how did the doctor know that this shadow nodule was a silver needle that Mao Lao pierced into his wife. X-rays in hospitals are not easy to visualize these metals. And Mao Lao's wife has always had migraines, and she was pregnant at the time, so she couldn't use medicine, so Mao Lao used indwelling acupuncture to temporarily suppress the migraine acupuncture. It's just that few people know about this stitching method. ”
"A caesarean section could not cause the death of Mao's wife, and the failure to professionally remove the silver needle was the fatal cause of Mao's wife. The theories of Chinese medicine and Western medicine are inherently different, so Chinese medicine can penetrate into it, but Western medicine cannot take it out. ”
Hearing the news, you can imagine that Mao Lao's grief and indignation at that time, he practiced medicine all his life, but in the end he couldn't even save his wife and children, although this can't be blamed on him, but Mao Lao's heart is still unhappy, and he immediately sued the doctor in court. ”
However, the court ultimately ruled that the doctor was acquitted. The reason was that when Mao Lao's wife did not have any family members present, the doctor had the right to perform emergency surgery on the critically ill patient. ”
As for whether the needle had an analgesic effect on Mao Lao's wife, there was no professional determination in Western medicine and the most authoritative scientific and academic circles at that time, so Mao Lao's lawsuit was invalid. ”
"The doctor's surgical operation specifications were not punished in any way, but because of his operating standards and exquisite surgical skills, he was highly sought after. ”
"Mao Lao appealed, invalid. Even if he went to the court in Shangjing, the court still couldn't pass the law, and he still used Mao Lao's innocence. Although there are many people who can say that they will punish the doctor by other means, Mao Lao insists on disagreeing. ”
In the end, after no fair verdict could be obtained in any law, Mao Lao was angry and finally took the mountain. And set three rules: First, those who do not come to the door will not be saved. Second, the families of officials did not save them. Third, those who have been cured by others are not saved. ”
Then, Mao Lao became even more uncertain. Dugu Xiaoyi said this, paused, and said: "As far as I know, the places where Mao Lao has run so far, even the small county towns have exceeded more than a thousand county seats. You must know that there are only more than 1,600 county towns in the whole of China, although there are some county-level cities, it is even more impossible to count. ”
And this run is another thirty years. During this period, Mao Lao worked as a barefoot doctor, practiced herbalist medicine in remote places, sat in consultations, and sold medicine like those who eat by mouth. He personally climbed the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau on foot, then went to the Maya Mountains to collect medicine, went to the northeast to peel tiger bones with the hunting team, and also went to the beach to go down to the deep water to collect medicine. ”
"In his life, he basically has no fixed place, so it is difficult to find him. However, Mao Lao's medical skills naturally became more and more exquisite, and basically after he was sixty years old, he never missed. This is also the reason why Colonel Peng came to this mountain eggplant city in such a hurry. ”
"It's just?" Dugu Xiaoyi sighed and said, "In a sentence I once saw on the Internet, it is the most appropriate." ”
Dugu Xiaoyi sighed lightly, her eyes were a little confused: "The soul has nowhere to put it, so it can only wander around." (To be continued.) )
