Chapter VIII People's Hospital

"Then I want to ask the divine doctor, what is the proportion of these 100 or so people compared to those who seek medical treatment outside? How much can the miracle doctor help these people with his dreams and nights to treat so many patients? The middle-aged scribe asked.

"It's a drop in the bucket." Zhang Zhongjing was stunned for a moment, and said helplessly.

Yes, the power of the individual is always limited. No matter how powerful Zhang Zhongjing is, whether it is a divine doctor or a medical saint, he is just a person after all, he is not a god, how many people can one person cure? How much of a difference can it make for tens of millions of patients?

"I wonder if the miracle doctor has ever thought about how to make all the sick people get treatment?

"Well, this ......" Zhang Zhongjing thought for a moment, and then said: "If the world is peaceful and the warlords and warlords no longer fight endlessly, there will not be so many displaced people, and there will not be so many displaced people, and naturally there will not be so many epidemics of plague. In this way, the number of patients will be greatly reduced, and the old man will naturally be able to treat them in time. I hate this troubled world, I hate those warlords, and make the people's lives miserable. ”

"Uh......" The middle-aged scribe was also stunned, he obviously didn't expect Zhang Zhongjing to answer like this, obviously asked him about the medical system, and he actually talked about politics. also sent a lot of sympathetic feelings.

However, Zhang Zhongjing's statement is not very off-topic, people's health problems are not simple biological problems, but also closely related to social, psychological and other factors. His answer shows that his thinking has moved beyond the realm of a pure clinician and knows how to consider health issues from a social perspective. This concept is actually very advanced, and it was not until modern times that the medical profession established such a theory.

In modern China, there are two people who have gone beyond the scope of clinical thinking and turned to social issues like him, one is Lu Xun, and the other is Sun Yat-sen, the father of the nation.

Lu Xun believed that being a doctor could cure people's physical pain, but could not cure ideological ignorance. So he gave up medicine and literature, trying to change people's spirits with his own pen.

Sun Yat-sen, the father of the nation, believed that medical skills save people, but the salvation is limited, and the greatest power in the world is the political zhì, which can be both "great good" and "great evil", and the suffering of the Chinese comes from the "bad political zhì". Therefore, he decided to abandon medicine and enter politics, and change "medical people" to "medical country".

Therefore, the heroes see the same thing, and even though they are nearly 2,000 years apart, there are still some things in common in thought. However, in this way, it is difficult for the middle-aged scribe to answer.

After thinking for a while, the middle-aged scribe said: "The general trend of the world is like this, it can not be changed in a moment, but my lord and the little prince are both benevolent and righteous people, who have been determined to save all the people in the world. ”

Following Liu Bei has this advantage, he can often use his benevolent name to fool people. Obviously, this middle-aged scribe has also been in Liu Bei's camp for many years, and he has won the essence of Liu Bei's "thick" flavor in black studies.

"My little boy has come up with a way to treat more patients."

"What's the solution? What kind of hospital is that? ”

"That's right, it's the hospital."

"Hmph, what kind of Raushzi Hospital, it's not for the service of dignitaries, what does it have to do with the common people!" Zhang Zhongjing was furious.

"Hehe, God Doctor, please calm your anger, my son-in-law's hospital is different from the previous hospital. Not exclusively for royalty. Xiao Gongzi once said, 'Everyone is equal in the face of disease'. Therefore, this hospital is called the 'People's Hospital' and is open to the general public. Seeing that Zhang Zhongjing was angry, the middle-aged scribe hurriedly explained.

Liu Hou once remembered the name "People's Hospital", although the word "people" is ancient, such as "Guanzi?? Seven Laws: "People's Birds, Beasts, Grass and Trees"; Such as "Zhou Li?? Official Notes?? Da Situ": "The map of the birthplace of the state, the number of its people", but after all, it is not commonly used.

On the contrary, when it comes to "people", everyone understands what it means, and the meaning of these two words is similar anyway, so Liu Hou waved his pen and named it "People's Hospital".

"Oh? And such things? When Zhang Zhongjing heard this, he was immediately moved, especially the sentence "everyone is equal in the face of disease", which can be said to be in his heart.

In his life, he has treated countless patients, I don't know how many times I have seen frozen bones on the stinky road of Zhumen, and he is used to seeing the wealthy families who spend a lot of money on the one hand, and the poor people who die of illness in vain because they can't afford to buy medicine.

Therefore, he usually charges a lot for the rich to see a doctor, and often for the poor to see a doctor for free. In order to treat the displaced and sick, he scattered all his wealth. His Zhang family is also a big family in Nanyang, the world is in turmoil, and there are countless displaced people, but his scattered family wealth is just a drop in the bucket, there are too many displaced people, how many people can he treat? I can only sigh in vain.

"Absolutely." The middle-aged scribe explained.

"Divine doctor, just imagine, no matter how great you are in a day, you can only treat more than a hundred people. However, if we have 10 doctors as skilled as you in the hospital, we can treat more than 1,000 people, what if there are 100? ”

Zhang Zhongjing's heart was pounded, yes, the power of an individual is limited, and the power of many people is great, and people living in this society where there is no automatic device and everything depends on one hand and two feet is very large.

"What kind of hospital is this, is there really so many doctors?" Zhang Zhongjing couldn't help asking.

"It's the 'People's Hospital'! This involves the concept of the little boy running the hospital. This hospital is not only a hospital for people, it is also a college, a medical school.

In addition to treating patients, they will also give lectures to pass on their valuable experience to students. Doctors can also communicate with each other, so that more and more excellent doctors can be trained, and the medical skills of doctors can be better and better. ”

That's right, of course, Liu Houban's hospital is not only a medical institution that simply treats people, but also an institution integrating "production, learning, and research", similar to the medical schools and affiliated hospitals of later generations.

In this way, we can continue to train excellent doctors, so that the valuable experience of some excellent doctors can be inherited. Later generations said that Hua Tuo was a miracle doctor, and his medical skills were miraculous in legends, but his green capsule book was burned, and his medical skills were not handed down, leaving regrets for the ages. Liu Hou decided to set up a hospital in order to fill such regrets.

At the same time, Liu Hou also wants to use such an institution to promote more exchanges between major celebrities, collide with sparks of ideas, and carry out research on medical technology to promote the virtuous circle of the medical industry.

When Zhang Zhongjing heard this, his eyes lit up, yes, this method is good, in this way, a large number of doctors can be trained, and he is no longer afraid that there will be too many patients and will not be treated in time.

"This method is good, but the premise is that everyone in medicine is selfless and willing to share their valuable experience. I just don't know if Doctor Zhang is willing to teach your lifelong medical skills to others, Xiao Gongzi heard that your book "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases" can be called "the ancestor of medical prescriptions", if it can be spread, it will be able to live countless people. The middle-aged scribe asked.

In ancient times, all kinds of techniques were kept secret, and all kinds of housekeeping skills were relied on by people to eat, and there has always been a tradition of passing on men but not women. So, a lot of the skills are passed down from family to family.

In addition, there is also a saying that the apprentices of the church starved to death of the master, so the master taught the apprentices, and often kept a hand.

These traditions, or bad habits, have led to the loss of many skills, and the Chinese nation has created a brilliant culture for thousands of years, and the level of science and technology and culture was once far ahead of the world. However, countless cultures have been created, and countless cultures have been annihilated in the long river of history, which has a lot to do with the Chinese people's idea that the law is not spread to the outside world, which is really suffocating.

Based on the above reasons, it is actually very presumptuous for a middle-aged scribe to make such a request, but Zhang Zhongjing is not an ordinary person, he is a fraternity and selfless "medical saint", and it is obvious that the middle-aged scribe understands his character. Sure enough, when Zhang Zhongjing heard him say this, not only was he not angry, but he was very happy.

"As long as I can heal more patients, how can the old man pity my skills. It's just that the old man's "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases" has just been written, has your son-in-law read the clumsy work? ”

At this time, Zhang Zhongjing had just finished writing "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases", and few people had read it, let alone published it, so he was surprised that the little boy in the mouth of the middle-aged scribe knew about his book.

"This ......," the middle-aged scribe was momentarily speechless. He wasn't surprised by this. His own little son worships Zuo Ci Zuo Xian Weng as his teacher, and he has come out of many magical places since he was a child. Zuo Ci is even more of a predictor of the ability to show the unpredictable again and again. He was accustomed to what secrets the world did not know that these two masters and apprentices who were full of mystery could know.

"The doctor knows that my little son is very intelligent, he has read a lot of books since he was a child, and what he has learned is very mixed. Moreover, he has worshiped Zuo Ci Zuo Xian Weng as his teacher since he was a child, and often expresses his wonders. What he meant was that people were disciples of the gods, and there was nothing they didn't know.

"I have heard a little about Zuo Yuanfang's deeds, but I didn't expect him to be the master of your little son."

"Yes, it is said that Zuo Xian Weng was alchemy in Tianzhu Mountain, watched the sky at night, and found that the emperor star appeared in the south, so he searched all the way, and finally found Jingzhou and accepted my little son as an apprentice." It means that my son-in-law is a man of destiny, you can do it.

"Humph! It's just a fallacy to confuse the public, what an emperor star, what a night view of the sky, it's just a trick of Fang Shi to deceive people. As a doctor, Zhang Zhongjing does not believe in gods and ghosts. People pay attention to dialectical treatment, and the theory of the five elements used by doctors is actually a simple materialist view. Therefore, if you tell him about the dialectics and materialism of later generations, he will be very easy to accept.

"But I have an impression of that kid. When he treated Mrs. Gan in Jingzhou, the old man saw that he was very interested in the way of medicine, and gave him a copy of "Identifying Typhoid Fever". I didn't expect him to pay attention to the old man all the time, and this kid has a heart. ”

"Distinguishing Typhoid Fever" should be the predecessor and abbreviated version of "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases". At that time, Zhang Zhongjing had not yet completed the writing of the author, so he only gave Liu Hou the book "Debate on Typhoid Fever".

Zhang Zhongjing also believed that Liu Hou must have been interested in reading "Debate on Typhoid Fever", so he has been paying attention to his own movements, and now he found out that he had written "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases", so he sent someone to invite him.

Thinking about this, he didn't continue to ask. The middle-aged scribe also breathed a sigh of relief, you can figure it out yourself, and you don't need him to continue to explain it.
