Chapter 258: The Beginning of Western Medicine (Part II)

"Wu Xing, you hurry up and study these corpses, and then draw a full map of the human body for me." Li Junxian said.

That Wu Xing had no choice but to take those puppets to the corpse pile one after another, and then began to dissect these corpses with his own puppet tools.

Li Junxian patted Wu Xing's shoulder and said, "Wu Xing, you can rest assured, although some people may not understand you now, but hundreds of years later, people all over the world will compare you to Hua Tuo Bian Que." Although your medical skills are not as good as theirs, you have indeed created an era! You, the one who started an era, are enough to be a great man. ”

"General Li, I'm just pleading now, and when the time comes, it's good that no one beats my stuffy stick." Wu Xing said with a bitter face.

Li Junxian comforted this Wu Xing and immediately returned to his camp, but at this time, Wang Feng, the battalion commander of the military medical battalion, ran over and questioned Li Junxian loudly.

"General Li, why did you let a servant be the deputy commander of our military medical battalion?" Wang Feng said angrily.

Wang Feng is really going crazy now, Li Junxian actually sent a man to be the deputy commander of the military medical battalion, which is too much. Because they don't say they are cheap, and even what they do is desecrating corpses. As a doctor, Wang Feng certainly couldn't tolerate this kind of desecration of corpses. In ancient China, corpses were highly respected, and even doctors were among them. Doctors are full of reverence and mystery about the complex structure of corpses, and this mystery makes them not dare to dissect corpses, so they can only judge the human body by guessing out of thin air, so the progress of medical research is very slow.

"Wang Feng, it seems that I am going to appoint someone to be an officer, I don't need to go through your idea, right? If anyone from the Political Department came to ask me, I would have felt excusable, but if you came to ask me, I could only answer you. That is, this is an order from above, and you must obey it. I didn't just mention once that it is the duty of a soldier to obey orders, and you are not a doctor from the Imperial Medical Department now, but a soldier. Wang Feng said.

Wang Feng said: "But the medical battalion is a technical branch, if you let a soldier come over, can you do a good job?" ”

"Don't worry, Wu Xing is only doing medical research and will not interfere in the internal affairs of your medical camp." Li Junxian said.

However, Wu Xing's gang was actually desecrating the corpse. General Lee. Don't you block? Wang Feng asked.

Li Junxian replied: "I asked them to do it, is there any problem?" ”

"General Li, this is a desecration of corpses and disrespect for the dead, do you want to support it? We healers have great respect for the human body, and we cannot blaspheme it in the slightest. Wang Feng said angrily.

Li Junxian asked: "If you don't study the human body, then how can you develop medicine?" ”

"Does the development of medicine mean the study of the human body? Isn't it possible to study medicine without dissecting corpses? Wang Feng asked.

"If you don't dissect the cadavers. The pace of medical research will certainly be slow. Li Junxian said.

"Won't it?" Wang Feng asked in disbelief.

Chinese medicine has been studied for thousands of years, but it has still been surpassed by Western medicine, which has only been studied for hundreds of years, is this just the reason why ancient medical skills have been lost? Li Junxian didn't believe it at all. Traditional Chinese medicine is also because of this respect for the corpse, as well as the Chinese worship of the remains of the dead. Let the development of Chinese medicine be slow, and it has become a hanging thing. This kind of serious lack of theoretical basis has made the development of Chinese medicine unusually slow, and it is not surprising that it has been surpassed by Western medicine with sufficient theoretical basis.

"Wang Feng. Let me ask you again, you should have heard of the Yellow Emperor's Neijing, right? Li Junxian asked.

"I've heard that what we doctors must learn is the Yellow Emperor's Neijing." Wang Feng said.

Li Junxian continued to ask: "You should know." The Yellow Emperor's Neijing has proposed that the blood of the human body flows in the body, and there is also the heart, liver, spleen, stomach and kidney in the body, and even various intestines, and the organs in the body are all studied at that time, right? ”

"yes!" Wang Feng replied.

"Then if the ancients hadn't dissected the corpses, how could they have come to these conclusions?"

Wang Feng suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and he obviously thought that ancient doctors would also dissect corpses. If ancient medical scientists didn't dissect corpses, then why did they come up with these theories and get all kinds of organs out? Later, why the dissection of organs was forbidden, although this is not very exquisite. But judging from the Yellow Emperor's internal scriptures, doctors hundreds of thousands of years ago had dissected the human body.

"Wang Feng, I'm asking you, why during the Warring States Period, various medical theories emerged one after another, and finally they were compiled into the Yellow Emperor's Neijing. But after that, there were a lot fewer medical texts? You count, since the Han Dynasty, has the number of new medical texts appeared less? Far from being able to compare with the period of victory? Why did medical works in the Warring States period reach a peak, but later there were so many fewer new medical works? Can you answer this question? Li Junxian asked.

"This?" Wang Feng didn't understand why.

"Because, because there were many wars during the Warring States period, and there were many wars, there were many corpses, and there were many patients, do you know what I mean? What's more, why is the possibility of famous doctors appearing in troubled times greatly increased, can you answer? Li Junxian asked.

Wang Feng suddenly hit the ground with a butt, he obviously understood what Li Junxian meant. It was the time of the war, there were a lot of wars, and as a result, there were a lot of patients, and there were a lot of corpses to study for those doctors. Under this kind of research, it is normal for medical progress to be very fast. And Wang Feng is a doctor, of course he knows that the probability of a famous doctor in troubled times is relatively high, but he doesn't know why this is so.

Now that I think about it, this is because the troubled times have provided a lot of research materials for doctors, and these materials are dead people, which is a very valuable research resource for doctors! With more research resources, wouldn't medicine develop rapidly?

"General Li ......" Wang Feng didn't know what to say for a while.

"Okay, if you don't have any opinions, then you can go back." Li Junxian said.

Wang Feng hurried back to his medical camp, and he wanted to think about this matter. Because today's events were too surprising, Wang Feng's three views were ruined. Only then did Wang Feng discover a terrible fact, medical research can only make great progress in troubled times. The reason why this is so is actually because there are many dead people in troubled times, but there are materials to study. This is extremely unimaginable for Wang Feng, a person who studied medicine in peacetime. (To be continued......)
