Chapter 55: The Doctor is Kind and Lives for the People
Looking at Li Shizhen on the screen, many people were so happy to be able to record more on the "Compendium of Materia Medica", and many people sighed.
"The ancients could give up everything for a dream, and it could be completed in a lifetime, and then look at the present, hey... This impetuous world. ”
"Brother, don't be emotional, modern society is different from ancient times, it's different."
"yes, I don't know if the times have changed us, or if we have changed the times."
"Upstairs, you're thinking too much, you can't change the times at all, and the times don't have the time to take care of you at all."
Looking at Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" written one by one, Xia Xuan, who was immersive, felt the greatness of the ancients.
Perhaps if it weren't for this TCM propaganda, he would never have known in his life that more than 400 years ago, there was such a great person.
His exploits can be passed down through the ages and should be praised by future generations.
In the picture, three miners came to Li Shizhen's door and begged him to heal.
When Li Shizhen saw the patient, he immediately ran out and helped the person into the house.
"What's wrong with this brother?"
Looking at the person with a pale face and dying, Li Shizhen asked with concern.
He had been practicing medicine for many years and had never seen such symptoms.
Even after taking the pulse, it is still impossible to determine what the disease is.
"We are lead miners, and he has been poisoned by lead poisoning after working in the mine for too long."
The uncle on the side said very eagerly.
It seems that it should be a relative of the patient, he looked at Li Shizhen with tears in his eyes, and knelt directly on the ground.
"Please, sir, please save him."
"We can't live without him in our family."
"Old man, don't worry, I will definitely do my best."
Li Shizhen hurriedly helped up the old man who was kneeling on the ground and turned his head to look at the patient.
"After being poisoned, what are the symptoms?"
"The skin is yellow, the abdomen is distended and I can't eat."
"In this case, it is possible to lose your life."
After listening to the words of others, Li Shizhen was shocked, and she really didn't know what to do for a while.
Seeing that the miners who came with the patients lowered their heads, Li Shizhen was also very anxious.
He wanted to help, but he didn't know where to start.
"Please, sir, please save me."
"I, I don't want to die..."
Although the patient's voice was weak, it was like a needle, piercing Li Shizhen's heart.
In desperation, he had to take out a silver needle to help him solve the problem of abdominal distension first, and then prescribed him some detoxification drugs.
Li Shizhen didn't know if it would work.
Because he had never heard of lead poisoning and had not treated such a condition.
Looking at the backs of several people leaving, Li Shizhen sighed, and her heart was very uncomfortable at the moment.
He lowered his head, tears sliding down from the corners of his eyes and dripping to the ground.
He didn't dare to continue looking at the patient's distant back.
He practiced medicine all his life, and saved many people and patients.
But when a disease appeared that he had never seen or heard of, he was really powerless.
He also wanted to save it, but found that he couldn't do anything about it.
A healer has been a human being all his life, but now, he has no way to cure diseases and save people.
It can only help patients relieve their pain, but that is only temporary.
Late at night, Li Shizhen sat at the desk, her expression was very painful, as if she was blaming herself.
Tears kept falling.
Recalling the scenes of the day, his heart felt like a pinprick in his heart.
"Why, why can't I save him."
"I can't save him."
Hearing a voice from Li Shizhen's room, his wife brought clothes and put them on for him.
"Husband, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing that the tears on Li Shizhen's face had not yet dried, his wife asked with some concern.
"Husband's heart?"
Looking at his wife beside him, Li Shizhen didn't know how to speak for a while.
Just silently lowered his head and sighed.
"Today I met a miner who was poisoned by lead."
"I, I, I couldn't get him back."
After speaking, Li Shizhen's emotions completely collapsed, crying bitterly, and her voice echoed in the study.
The wife on the side looked very sad, and she couldn't bear Li Shizhen to be like this.
She knew how uncomfortable it was to be a healer to watch her patients die.
Doctors are dedicated to the patients and treat them as if they were relatives.
Who wouldn't be sad if a loved one leaves?
"Husband, I know you're sad."
"But the healer, what the power can do, the power can't."
"You have to take care of your body, don't be yourself, you have done your best, and you have done what a doctor should do."
Hearing his wife's words, Li Shizhen's mood was not stable at all, but collapsed even more.
He tried his best, but in his heart, he couldn't get through.
"Why, why I don't know how to treat lead poisoning."
"I'm not a qualified healer, if my father is here, he, he will definitely have a way."
Li Shizhen's voice alarmed the family members who were already asleep, and everyone stood at the door of the study, looking at him.
Li Shizhen's discomfort undoubtedly infected everyone.
Li Jianyuan wanted to persuade his father, but was stopped by his mother.
"Father, since we can't treat lead poison and don't know how to treat lead poison, why don't you write it into this "Compendium of Materia Medica" for future generations to remember?"
"Maybe when later generations see the "Compendium of Materia Medica", they will see lead poison and be able to delve into the treatment method, and it can be regarded as the husband cured the patient with lead poison."
Hearing his wife's words, Li Shizhen suddenly realized, he raised his head and looked at his somewhat haggard wife.
"Yes, yes, record it for future generations to remember."
"Let them delve into the cure."
Soon, Li Shizhen wiped her tears and buried her head in writing the "Compendium of Materia Medica", which reassured the family.
Li Shizhen recorded lead poison in order to let future generations know, avoid its harm, and study the treatment method.
So that future generations can have a way to prevent it.
Paying attention to people's livelihood and people's lives is what a doctor and a great person should do.
Obviously, Li Shizhen, he did it.
And the audience who watched this live broadcast also saw it, saw him Li Shizhen, and did it.
"The benevolence of the doctor, the greatness of the world, and the life of the people, this is the doctor."
"Who said that I would cry all the time in this issue, you come out to the master, see if I don't stab you, a prophet, it's over."
"Really, it's too good to cry, a small cry in three minutes, a big cry in five minutes, don't you want to do this."
At this time, many modern doctors who watched Xia Xuan's live broadcast also had a deep understanding.
They know what it's like, what it's like to see a patient die right in front of their eyes.
It's really painful and uncomfortable.
