Physician of the Song Dynasty: Zhang Kai and Li Qingzhao have a private life-long contract

Evil doctor Fan Zheng,

Changed his ways!

After assisting Zhao Xu in taking charge of the government, Fan Zheng's acting style changed drastically. He changed from his previous evil style to act in a strict and orderly manner, which was surprising.

In the Imperial Medical Office,

"Luoyang Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital is once again a great success, which is enough to prove that large hospitals are quite feasible in cities!" Fan Zheng and Qian Yi said solemnly as they sat opposite each other.

Qian Yi nodded slightly. When he came out of Taiyuan Hospital, he personally experienced the advantages of large hospitals. They were beyond the ability of a single famous doctor. Moreover, his medical practice was extremely efficient. He often treated the same department and could almost judge the patient's symptoms at a glance, including difficult and complicated diseases. Doctors collaborate with each other to greatly improve the progress of medical skills.

"For this reason, Fan decided to promote the hospital model to the entire Song Dynasty. With Kaifeng as the boundary, Gui Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital will expand to the west of Kaifeng City, and Guitai Hospital will expand to the east of Kaifeng City. Within three years, they are not allowed to compete with each other." Fan Zhengzheng said.

Qian Yi was moved and asked: "In other words, within three years, a city can only have one hospital?"

The hospital model is quite successful. If there is only one hospital in a city, it is enough to ensure that it can be profitable. In the current situation, the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital has an advantage. This strategy is quite beneficial to the Tai Hospital.

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "Yes, in three years' time, Kaifeng City will be taken as an example. There will be no boundaries. Hospitals can be opened at will. One city and two hospitals will stand side by side, and each will compete based on their medical skills."

"This method is great!" Qian Yi clapped his hands and cheered.

Once this method comes out, the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital and the Tai Hospital will definitely compete with each other to open all over the cities of the Song Dynasty in the shortest time, and the scale of the medical family will expand crazily.

Three years later, the two hospitals competed with each other to promote the advancement of medical skills, and the medical profession was prosperous.

Fan Zheng continued: "However, there are advantages and disadvantages. The expansion of the hospital can indeed improve the medical skills of doctors and integrate medical resources. However, it can only take care of the city, and most of them are landowners in the city, while the poor in rural and remote areas People who have neither medical treatment nor medicine will not benefit from it even if doctors are prosperous. This is not in line with the concept of doctors hanging a pot to help the world."

"There is no way to build a hospital in rural areas." Qian Yi frowned.

A hospital can survive in a densely populated city, but if it is opened in a sparsely populated rural area with vast land, it is impossible to support a hospital, and even a doctor would struggle to make a living.

Fan Zheng naturally knew this situation and nodded: "Now the Chinese patent medicine plan of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital has achieved preliminary results. The problem of insufficient medicine has been solved. The only problem is the lack of medical treatment."

Qian Yi felt helpless. This is an eternal problem. After all, doctors also need to eat and live. If they go to rural areas with vast land, sparse population, and poverty, not to mention making money, they may have to pay for the poor people they meet.

Fan Zheng nodded solemnly and said: "So the doctors decided to recruit Dr. Ling."

Bell doctors are ancient barefoot doctors. They usually hold bells in their hands and carry medicine boxes on their backs, and walk through villages. If someone is sick, they call them home for treatment.

"Doctor Bell!"

Qian Yi frowned and said, he is a high-ranking imperial physician with great achievements, while Dr. Ling is at the bottom of the medical family. Their status is very different.

"Yes, the countryside is vast and sparsely populated. Let alone a hospital, even a doctor might not be able to survive. Only doctors walking around the streets can provide treatment to the common people." Fan Zheng said solemnly.

"But Dr. Ling is a mixed bag. He can't recognize many words. He relies on some family remedies. Some of them are even deceitful." Qian Yi said with a headache. In his opinion, Dr. Ling is not a qualified doctor at all.

"Doctor Ling has not received systematic medical training, and is not a quack. Fan specially compiled a manual for Dr. Ling, which records various common diseases that people encounter in their lives, as well as treatment methods, which are enough to deal with the daily problems of the people. Needed." Fan Zheng placed a medical book in front of Qian Yi.

"The Bell Doctor's Manual"

Qian Yi took it and took a look and found that the medical skills of this bell doctor's manual were simple but covered all kinds of diseases, including treating common diseases, treating the wounded, treating wounds, bruises, delivering babies, first aid for pneumothorax, preventing and treating infectious diseases, emergency treatment of seasonal diseases, and drinking water. Hygiene etc.

Yes, Fan Zheng's "Bell Doctor's Manual" is modeled after the famous "Barefoot Doctor's Manual" of later generations. Of course, some medical skills such as "nuclear weapon protection" and "biochemical weapon protection" that were impossible to appear in the Song Dynasty were deleted. , Rao still includes many diseases.

"This is a medical book compiled by Fan Taicheng!" Qian Yi said dumbfounded.

As a doctor, it is the dream of every doctor to compile a medical book and pass it on to future generations. He is now also working on compiling his own medical book "Pediatric Medicine Zhijue".

But what kind of medical book is the "Ling Medical Manual"? It is simple and straightforward, without any medical theory, and some even have illustrations and paintings, which means that anyone who is literate can treat diseases according to this medical book.

Qian Yi couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth when he thought of Dr. Ling looking at the patient while flipping through the manual. The patient had better pray that his symptoms are completely consistent with Dr. Ling's manual, otherwise everything will depend on God's will.

"Yes, famous doctors in the past dynasties compiled medical books and tried their best to study medical skills and conquer difficult and complicated diseases. However, they did not know that the most harmful ones are many common diseases. Many poor people just cannot afford to see the disease and delay it again and again, so the condition becomes worse and worse. If you can With timely treatment, perhaps many tragedies can be avoided." Fan Zheng said solemnly.

Qian Yi's face gradually became serious. The Ling doctor's manual was indeed not as profound as his "Pediatric Medicine and Syndrome Direct Jue", and it was not even as good as the theories on the causes and symptoms of diseases that were proven to be wrong.

However, "Ling Medical Manual" has an advantage that no other medical book can match, that is, it is comprehensive.

Dr. Ling will not tell you the dangers of incest marriage, nor will he treat difficult and complicated diseases, nor will he disembowel your body and reproduce Hua Tuo's unique skills. Dr. Ling only has alcohol, gauze, bandages, and various Chinese herbal medicines in his hands.

If you encounter a disease that you are not familiar with, you may have to read the manual on the spot before treating it. However, Qian Yi once stayed in the countryside. The countryside is vast and sparsely populated. The roads between villages are far away. It takes more than half a day to go to a county town. .

If you are accidentally bitten by a poisonous snake, injured while working, or have an emergency, diarrhea, fracture, or even childbirth, you cannot find a doctor in time for treatment, let alone rush to the county. At this time, the only people who can provide timely medical treatment are Dr. Ling sometimes not only treats diseases, but also saves people.

"Doctors don't need to have advanced medical skills. There are also many literate people in rural areas. They will never fail in the imperial examination. Joining a medical family can avoid corvee, treat people without having to face the loess and turn their backs to the sky, and they can also earn a certain amount of income. , this strategy is feasible!" Qian Yi agreed.

"Incorporating Ling Doctors can not only uphold the concept of practicing doctors to help the world, allowing more people to be treated, but also greatly increase the number of doctors. When the hospital expands in the future, they can also be recruited on a merit-based basis. This is the cornerstone of the great prosperity of medical schools." Fan Zheng said solemnly. .

Qian Yi's breath was stagnant. The number of Ling doctors far exceeded that of traditional doctors. His joining the medical family led to an explosive increase in the number of doctors. In addition, his descendants were influenced by him and would definitely be inclined to study medicine. The trend of medicine has become a trend.

As Qian Yi and Fan Zheng reached an agreement, the three-year agreement between the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital and Tai Hospital and the policy of recruiting Ling doctors caused an uproar among the doctors.

However, more people are paying attention to Fan Zheng's medical book "Ling Medical Manual". Fan Zheng is so talented that the younger generation of Kaifeng can't hold their heads up after being overwhelmed by famous works. Without causing a sensation, even if it is a medical book, people are still eager to see it.

However, when they opened the medical manual, they were stunned. No one would have thought that such a straightforward medical book was written by the evil doctor Fan Zheng.

"As expected of Fan Zheng, an evil doctor. Even if he corrects his evil ways and writes books, he still has an evil nature."

Countless people shook their heads and laughed out loud. Writing books was the most upright path. Why did it change when Fan Zheng came here?

However, they did not know that this "Bell Medical Manual" may seem simple, but it is the medical book that has saved the most lives, and countless people have survived because of this book.
