Chapter 65: The Beginning
The so-called "medical research" is fanciful, and in the end it has to rely on the efficacy to speak, and only when the two medical techniques are compared together can the effect be really seen.
After communicating with Dr. Wang and Chen Yaozhou, Wei Zhao found that the Chinese medicine at this time was not the same as what he understood.
Traditional Chinese medicine in this era is not inferior to that of later generations, they do not rely on any high technology, they simply rely on their own medical skills to treat diseases, and many prescriptions are very precious.
Later generations relied too much on high technology, and without these instruments, many diseases were helpless.
Moreover, the doctors at this time were much harder than later generations in their obsession with medical skills, but there was a drawback, that is, the doctors of this era basically had their own unique skills, which were not passed on.
This led to the gradual loss of many medical skills, so that in later generations, Chinese medicine gradually declined.
Compared with traditional Chinese medicine, modern Western medicine has obvious advantages, but the shortcomings are also obvious, the medicines, appliances, and diagnosis and treatment instruments used by Western medicine are all based on the maturity of science and technology and the improvement of the medical system.
However, some concepts of Western medicine can make up for traditional Chinese medicine, such as the research of bacteria in Western medicine, the concentration and purification of drugs, etc., which are relatively backward projects of traditional Chinese medicine.
The other is surgery.
People in this era are in awe of "blood", and many doctors who are proficient in surgery can simply suture, such as Dr. Qin in Luofeng Village.
They study and try to use sutures to treat trauma, but they don't think of actively opening the human body to treat the diseases inside.
One is because of drugs, there are no effective anesthetic painkillers that open a person's body, and no one dares to do it.
The other is the backwardness of technology and the imperfection of human cognition.
It is a long process for a discipline to go from birth to perfection, and it has to go through countless failures before finally proving whether it is feasible.
The development of medicine is based on countless lives, and the current social environment is not a fertile ground for the development of Western medicine.
Because of the lack of research on antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory aspects, many of the patients they treat have died of bacterial infections, which makes them question this treatment.
Therefore, after treating two cases in a row in Wei Zhao and none of the patients died, and even one of the cases was actively disemboweled, it made them so excited and wanted to know how Wei Zhao did it?
When he arrived at the back hall of the medical hall, he drank a sip of water and rested for a while, and Fang Tan came to urge, saying that the people outside couldn't wait.
Wei Zhao and the others had no choice but to clean up and go to the front.
Before starting, Wei Zhao found that the crowd seemed to be much more orderly, and after a closer look, he found that there were a few catchers in the crowd, maintaining order.
Seeing him coming, Sui Feng waved at him, and then said a few words to the people around him, and ran towards him.
"Why are you here?" Wei Zhao asked.
Sui Feng said: "Your Excellency knows that you are going to debate medical skills here today, and asked us to come over to maintain order, there are many people, and it will not be good if there is chaos." ”
Wei Zhao looked at the people who were now in order and sat down according to their seats in the open space in front of the medical hall, and said, "My lord is thoughtful, Wei Mou has thanked me here." ”
Sui Feng said: "My lord said, he has confidence in Dr. Wei's medical skills, so you can only treat the disease." ”
Wei Zhao nodded and accepted Lord Liang's kindness.
Outside the crowd, there was a person standing far away, watching Wei Zhao standing at the door of the medical hall, a flash of resentment flashed in his eyes, but in the end he didn't take any action, just wrapped the cloak on his body more tightly.
As the most prestigious doctor in the entire Luoxiang Mansion, Dr. Wang is naturally presiding over this "seminar" at this moment.
He cleared his throat, raised his hand, and signaled the whispering crowd to be quiet, and then said: "Everyone, a few days ago, our Luoxiang Mansion, the son of the prefect suffered from a strange disease, first abdominal pain, and then abdominal distension like a drum, unconscious, this must be known to everyone, and there are many doctors who have personally gone to the outpatient clinic for treatment. ”
The people in the crowd nodded their heads, and there should be a chorus.
Doctor Wang raised his hand again, waited for everyone to quiet down again, and said, "In the end, the little boy's illness was cured by this doctor next to me." ”
He pointed at Wei Zhao.
continued: "He is Dr. Wei, and his treatment method must have been heard by everyone. ”
"Yes, yes, we heard that it was an operation, and we just came to listen to Dr. Wei tell me what this operation is about!" Someone at the bottom couldn't wait for Dr. Wang's introduction, and said loudly.
Another person also said: "Yes, and I heard that Dr. Wei is going to discuss his surgery with us today, why don't we all come and hear about it!" ”
The scene suddenly began to be noisy again, and Dr. Wang's voice was so low that he couldn't hear what he was saying for a while.
He had no choice but to raise his hand again, and the wind on the side saw that this time it had no effect, and said loudly: "Don't make any noise, don't make any noise, listen to Doctor Wang first!" ”
He was a martial artist, his voice was high, and with his prestige as a headcatcher, everyone quieted down again.
"Yes, it's surgery, but Dr. Wei's medical skills are not only surgery, but many of his treatment methods are different from ours."
"To prove that his medical skills are indeed viable. Before we start today, we will find a few patients with the same disease, one of whom will be treated by Dr. Wei, and the rest of you will choose a few doctors who think that the medical skills are acceptable, and each of you will be responsible for one, and after three days, you will see together whether the symptoms of the two of you are cured or alleviated, so as to judge the quality of each other's medical skills. ”
As soon as his words fell, someone in the crowd questioned, "What if both patients are cured?" ”
Dr. Wang smiled and said, "Wait a minute, let's take a look at the patient first, and then discuss this issue." ”
Chen Yaozhou waved his hand towards the medical hall, and several junior apprentices took out a few wooden planks from the medical hall, and there was one person on each board.
When they approached, everyone was surprised to find that there were several beggars carrying the plank, and before they could get closer, they smelled a foul smell.
Several beggars were carried to the front of the crowd, and the schoolchildren untied the beggars' clothes from various planks, some exposing their arms, some exposing their legs, and some exposing their entire abdomen.
These exposed places, without exception, have a wound, which has festered at this time, and the wound looks ugly and disgusting.
"It's not going to treat these beggars, is it?" All at once the crowd was boiling again.
"This wound is suppurated, you have to cut off the carrion, and then apply the sustenance powder, and then add the decoction of the saprophytic muscle, or it can be saved." An old doctor first stepped forward to look at the patient. Stroking the beard.
Another younger doctor stepped forward to look at a beggar who was injured on the leg next to him and said, "This wound has been suppurating for a long time, but I am afraid that the sore poison has penetrated into the bone, and I think it is hopeless." ”
He shook his head and sighed.
