Chapter 161: Rescue (2)

After Liu Min finished saying the above words, he pointed to the nine people lying on the ground with an excited expression: "This is the battlefield, and the four of you are the inspectors of sick children; to rescue the dead and wounded sergeants; How can you do it if you don't step forward! ”

Liu Min finally said solemnly: "Minzi knows that you are all children of poor families, so you have to go to a place like the Crescent Workshop; If you want to be worthy of your parents and be looked up to, you have to start now! ”

Liu Min said that this is the title of the Tang Dynasty for doctors and nurses in the army, Liu Min wants to make Hongyun, Luxing, Lanmei, and Bai Xue become the school inspectors......

Liu Min was a doctor of medicine in later generations, and after crossing over to the Song Dynasty, she became Liu Min, a folk daughter of Baishulin Village, Huayang County; The male body becomes the female body.

Liu Min's mother-in-law, Liu Mo, in order to help her daughter become a phoenix among people, gave up her life at a young age to create a cultivation venue for her daughter in Xuanji Cave "piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, martial arts, dance, and Xian", and also summoned famous teachers in history; Improve Liu Min's knowledge level in many aspects.

Five years later, Liu Min walked out of Xuanji Cave, and was already the daughter of Jin Gui, who was both civil and military, with the motto of "Tianxingjian gentleman with self-improvement, terrain Kun gentleman with virtue".

He also takes "establishing a heart for heaven and earth, establishing a life for the people, continuing to learn for the saints, and opening peace for the past life." "Correct the trajectory of his life for the program of action, and step by step towards the high position of the Empress Dowager Zhang Xianmingsu.

When Liu Min saw Hongyun, Green Apricot, Blue Plum, and Bai Xue, the four girls who exchanged their bodies for money, they immediately felt pity.

She wants to show them a way to survive - to be an ambulance girl for the epidemic and injuries, that is, a nurse for future generations.

In the Song Dynasty, there was no such thing as a nurse, but military hospitals already existed; At the same time, there was no national standing army in Europe, and the armed forces needed for war were mainly temporarily conscripted knights and their followers.

This kind of dog-ball and cat-cock chaotic situation military doctor's way is a bit wild, and the kind people in China may not have imagined that it is not a professional doctor who provides medical services to the majority of lower-level soldiers; But it seems to be close, but in fact it is an unrelated group - barbers.

Is the barber the origin of Western medicine? Do you find it strange? It is very strange, but this strange phenomenon has oppressed the Chinese civilization tradition - Chinese medicine for hundreds of years.

In the middle of the 19th century, after Western medicine entered China, due to catching up with the continuous wars, the outstanding surgical operations of Western medicine gave many soldiers a new life; The status of Chinese medicine has plummeted.

Some unscrupulous descendants who have insulted their ancestors and forgotten their ancestors shouted out the paradoxical remarks that traditional Chinese medicine is useless and should be abandoned, which is tolerable and unbearable!

The ancestor of Western medicine was actually a barber, and a profession that had nothing to do with medicine became the originator of Western medicine; It's really a laugh out of the big teeth.

This was the case in medieval Europe, because barbers would cut hair, shave, and let blood go on a daily basis, which was the origin of Western medicine.

A barber who can't cure a disease is not a good doctor, and a barber in medieval Europe was a part-time surgeon.

The ancestor worshiped by the Chinese carpenter is Lu Ban, the ancestor worshiped by the teacher is Confucius, and the ancestor worshiped by the surgeon should undoubtedly be the barber!

Medieval Europe, about the 11th to the 13th century; Many of the surgeries are performed by barbers and, of course, by church physicians.

So, you can see that the barber is holding scissors in his right hand, which means that he usually helps people with their hair; The knife in the left hand is not just a razor for shaving, but a scalpel for customers to cut moles, skin tumors and vegetations on their bodies.

It may sound ridiculous, even a little scary, but there was a common belief among physicians of that era; It's that blood on your hands is detrimental to your dignity.

In addition, the state system in Europe at that time was one in which religion was above politics; The Church does not consider surgery to be an important medicine, but only as an ancillary medical practice; Or a last-minute resort.

Such an atmosphere allowed some charlatans to take advantage of the gap, and the quality of the operation was naturally uneven; In the history books, the "itinerant quack" is the name given to the barber and surgeon.

The three-color light box at the door of a barbershop on a modern European street is related to the historical fact that barbers in the Middle Ages performed bloodletting therapy.

where blue is venous blood and red is arterial blood; And white symbolizes bandages.

The prototype of this lightbox is a kind of signboard placed at the entrance of a barbershop in the Middle Ages, usually a cylindrical shelf; Leeches are housed in the upper basin, and blood is in the bottom basin.

In medieval barbershops, it is common to see a large diagram of phlebotomy on the wall, which is usually hand-painted; Not only does it help the barber determine the location of the bloodletting, but it also shows the professional quality of this barbershop.

Barbers in the Middle Ages in Europe didn't just bleed, they were gross anatomists in anatomy classrooms.

This is because a barber may be more skilled at cutting the human body than a regular doctor, and it will be easier to find the right place to make the incision.

In medieval paintings about anatomy lessons, just look at the clothes of the figures; You can tell who is a regular doctor or medical student and who is a hairdresser.

In general, barbers wear short robes, and doctors wear long robes.

In addition to shaving heads, extracting teeth, and bleeding, barbers bandage wounds, cut tumors, tie hernias, drain urine, and sometimes act as war doctors.

In this way, the work of the barber was indeed particularly important in the Middle Ages; Some of them even have cataracts.

Although barbers can't do anything about serious injuries such as chopping hands and burns, they can make people hurt!

Just as the executioner who executes Ling Chi knows how to cut meat, the barber can skillfully peel the skin because he often performs surgical procedures.

In medieval Europe, some of the best barbers were able to skin a human body intact.

Another reason why orthodox physicians are reluctant to engage in surgical treatment is easier to understand, because poor treatment results can put the doctor's personal safety at risk.

Before the Middle Ages, the Ostrogothic kingdom, which ruled Italy, had strict laws; According to the king's rule, the physician must be 100 percent successful in his surgical treatment.

If the surgeon fails to perform the operation or even causes the death of the patient, the doctor will be handed over to the patient's relatives and friends.

Such legal provisions make regular physicians reluctant to perform surgical procedures on their patients, even if they have to choose surgery; Before the surgery, the physician also makes a contract with the patient and his or her family that the physician will not be physically persecuted because of the consequences of the failed surgery.

This should be the misuse of the modern surgical consent form, but at the time it was a life-saving charm for the doctor, and the current surgical consent form does not have this function; At most, it is just a legally binding pre-treatment notification document.

In the Middle Ages, barbers used surgeons to heal people with bloodletting; Barbers also gave wounded soldiers arrowheads, sterilized to stop bleeding, and even amputated limbs.

However, with the accumulation of the practice of warfare, especially under the impetus of the Crusades; Classical Western medicine made many breakthroughs in the field of surgery, and also gave birth to the Knights Hospitaller, which was later listed as one of the three major knights......
