Chapter 583: Imperial Physician Zhou
"A little up on the left, yes, yes, that's it, it's fixed, don't fall off!" Li Zhang stood in front of the door and personally instructed the craftsmen to hang the plaque of "Medical College", and with this plaque being hung, it also represented the official establishment of the Medical College.
But now the medical school is still just an empty shell, Zhao Zhen after discussing with Lu Yijian and others, he approved this matter very smoothly, and the order for Zhao Zhen was also issued, but Zhao Zhen is far away in the northwest, and even if he receives the order, he has to arrange things in the army, so it is estimated that he will not be able to come back until the next year, and during this time, Li Zhang will have to take care of both martial arts and medical school.
Fortunately, martial arts is on the right track, and Li Zhang usually doesn't have to worry about it at all, so most of his energy is on the side of the medical school, and the first thing when the medical school is established is to solve the location of the medical school, which is very easy, because Li Zhang has long taken a fancy to a building next to the martial arts.
This was originally a place for the emperor to temporarily rest when he sacrificed to the Wucheng Temple, barely a palace, and later the Wucheng Temple was changed to martial arts, but the front hall, as well as the palace next to it, are still retained, but this palace is rarely used, even if Zhao Zhen comes to worship, it is directly into the main hall, so it is a waste to keep the palace, Li Zhang directly asked Zhao Zhen to come over.
The palace is an independent building, and there are many buildings in it, which only need some modifications from the imperial court to be directly used as the site of the medical school, but it still takes a while to rebuild, so Li Zhang first asked people to hang the plaque of the medical school. In addition, it is also beneficial to put the medical school next to the martial arts, because the training of the martial arts is very strict, and there are often students who are injured, so the medical students can use them to practice.
After looking at the plaque hanging, Li Zhang entered the palace with his hands behind his back, no, it should be called the medical school, now there are craftsmen everywhere, Li Zhang also handed over his plan for the medical school to the officials in charge, it is estimated that the medical school will be rebuilt in March next year.
"See Dingbei Hou!" As soon as Li Zhang entered the medical school, he saw an old man with gray hair come forward to salute Li Zhang, as Li Zhang took over the medical school, his title was also changed, which Zhao Zhen had asked for a long time, and the word Dingbei is enough to explain the ambition of Zhao Zhen and Li Zhang.
"Don't be polite, how does Imperial Doctor Zhou feel, have you read the medical school charter I gave me?" Li Zhang asked with a smile at this time, this Imperial Doctor Zhou was seconded from the Imperial Medical Bureau, mainly as Li Zhang's assistant to assist him in building the medical school.
"Xiaguan has already seen it, and Xiaguan also understands Dingbei Hou's thoughts, but he still has some doubts about the science of surgery mentioned in the charter, legend has it that this is a miracle of the medical saint Huatuo, can we really learn such medical skills in our medical school?" Imperial Physician Zhou asked in disbelief at this time.
In Li Zhang's statute of the medical school, it was proposed that surgery should be regarded as a special discipline, but Imperial Physician Zhou still had reservations about this medical technique, although there were also some surgical methods in traditional Chinese medicine, such as the treatment of wounds on the battlefield, but most of them were relatively rough, and this was only used to treat injuries, and was rarely used to treat diseases.
Regarding the suspicion of the Empress Dowager Zhou, Li Zhang laughed and said: "This is the medical school, Imperial Doctor Zhou still directly calls me the mountain chief, as for the science of surgery, I know a little bit about it, but this medicine is not perfect, and we need to study and complete it together, so there will be Imperial Doctor Lao Zhou in the future!" ”
Doctor Zhou's name is Zhou Zheng, an ancestral medical family, good at gynecology and pediatrics, and don't look at his gray hair like a fifty or sixty-year-old man, but in fact, he is only in his early forties, but he is obsessed with medicine, usually the most like to bury his head in the study of medical skills, ten years ago in Hebei epidemic, in order to find a way to treat, even at any cost, deliberately infected with the disease, and finally tested the medicine by himself, finally let him find a way, which also made him a famous medical idiot in the Taiyi Bureau.
"Does the mountain chief really know the science of surgery?" Imperial Physician Zhou couldn't help but show a shocked expression when he heard Li Zhang's words, he was usually obsessed with medical skills, although he had heard of Li Zhang's name, but in addition to knowing that he was His Majesty's cousin, he didn't know that Li Zhang knew medical skills.
"A little bit of understanding, in fact, many diseases can be treated by surgery, such as intestinal carbuncles, in fact, there is a problem with a section of intestines in the stomach, and only this section of intestine needs to be removed by surgery." Li Zhang said with a smile at this time, the so-called intestinal carbuncle is actually the traditional Chinese medicine name for appendicitis, but this disease was almost a terminal disease in ancient times, although there are symptomatic prescriptions, but it is rarely completely cured, if it is acute appendicitis, the patient is likely to be painful to death.
"Excision? But if a person's stomach is cut open, will a person still survive? At this time, Imperial Doctor Zhou asked suspiciously again, he also knew the cause of intestinal carbuncles, but traditional Chinese medicine can only be taken internally, for example, Zhang Zhongjing's "Jin Kui Yaolu" has a prescription for treating intestinal carbuncles, but this kind of patient is different, sometimes the prescription can work, but sometimes it will fail, this problem is also one of the medical problems that have been bothering him.
"We can live, as long as we are unusually familiar with the internal structure of the human body, do not harm other internal organs during the operation, and suture the wound after the lesion is removed, and then use drugs to prevent the wound from becoming infected and inflamed, generally speaking, the patient will recover soon!" Li Zhang was very sure at this time that appendicitis was a small operation in later generations, and some people would have their appendices removed even if they did not have appendicitis.
Hearing Li Zhang's words, Imperial Physician Zhou's eyes also lit up, he was obsessed with medicine, and his mind was relatively simple, plus Li Zhang's confidence when he spoke also infected him, people couldn't help but believe Li Zhang's words, not to mention that since Li Zhang dared to establish a medical school, he would definitely not be untargeted.
Seeing that Imperial Physician Zhou had been moved by his own words, Li Zhang immediately struck while the iron was hot and told Imperial Physician Zhou the basics of some modern medicine, although this was very different from what Imperial Physician Zhou had learned, but Li Zhang's statement was reasonable, and under the mutual confirmation of traditional Chinese medicine, it made him feel like he had opened a new door, and at the same time he also admired Li Zhang.
The two chatted for a long time on medical skills, and they didn't stop until it was getting late, but Imperial Doctor Zhou was still unsatisfied, and even wanted to talk with Li Zhang all night, but Li Zhang didn't have this time, and stopped when it was almost time, and Imperial Doctor Zhou also showed regret at this time.
"Imperial Physician Zhou, the medical school is still an empty shell, and the Imperial Medical Bureau will transfer some imperial doctors to act as instructors, but do you have any ideas about the source of the students?" Li Zhang asked again at this time, and changed the topic by the way.
