"Really." Li Shan nodded sincerely, "I really don't know how to diagnose a pulse."
The seven or eight doctors standing around were a little confused. In this era, it cannot be said that all doctors are good at diagnosing pulse, but this is a basic skill for learning medicine.
In other words, if you don't know how to diagnose the pulse, you are a layman... But it was this person who saved Princess Pingyang.
An older doctor's body was shaky, and his outlook was shattered by his appearance.
Li Shan said it succinctly... I had never read any of the "Suwen", "Mai Jing", and "Jia Yi Jing". In school, there seemed to be elective courses in this field, but Li Shan was not interested at all.
"This is not a medical department, not a medicine department, but a trauma department." Li Shan said with a smile: "It only treats trauma, not Qi Huang's skill."
After briefly explaining a few words, Li Shan turned around and went into the room to continue teaching. This was already the third day. All the students below were his new recruits. Naturally, no students from the former Imperial Medical Office participated.
A dozen doctors stood at the back of the classroom and listened silently. They were all left over from the former Sui Dynasty Imperial Medical Office, or were well-known doctors among the people... In short, they were all relatively old, and no one jumped out to make comments.
crooked.
Think about it, regardless of whether Li Shan gained fame in vain, he did rescue Princess Pingyang, and he was granted the title of County Duke for planning the Shandong war. Anyway, he wouldn't steal everyone's jobs, so why tit for tat?
Li Shan ignored those old guys and taught according to the lesson preparation notes. There was a slightly reduced wooden model on the desk beside him, with the positions of various organs and the directions of arteries and veins marked on it with a brush.
In fact, Li Shan knew very well that it would be impossible for him to create the prototype of modern medicine in this era. It is very likely that in twenty years' time, he will be the only doctor who can stably perform major surgeries through disembowelment...perhaps at an individual level.
Can a taller person get appendicitis?
Therefore, the purpose of Li Shan's training is not to train doctors, but to train a group of people who focus on nursing and first aid, and can also do some minor operations such as suturing.
And the injured barracks in Li Shan's plan...are not more of a field hospital model, but more of an inpatient unit model.
In fact, the training content in this area is not much and not complicated. After Li Shan first briefly introduced the use of the trauma department, he carefully explained the corresponding diagnosis and treatment model for each type of injury on the battlefield.
How could those students and doctors accept this kind of medicine that was completely different from this era... And without a high-level microscope, Li Shan had no choice but to bother arguing with those people.
Simply... you just need to follow the instructions, there is no need for you to inquire into the details.
After listening for a while, the doctors at the back of the classroom began to talk in low voices. An old man asked the old man beside him, "Brother, how will you diagnose and treat me that day?"
The old man stared at Li Shan intently and said casually: "I don't know the inside story, I just said that I used a secret medicine..."
The person who asked the question was Zhen Liyan, a famous doctor in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. The old man who answered was his eldest brother Zhen Quan. They were both well-known doctors. Last year, Li Tang rebuilt the Imperial Medical Office and summoned these two people to Chang'an...the latter also served in the Wuhan Army.
In the fourth year of De's reign, he was recruited by Li Shimin to join the army.
A few months ago, Li Yuan personally named Zhen Quan to diagnose and treat Princess Pingyang, who said Pingyang was hopeless, which made Li Yuan furious and threatened to kill her.
Li Shan, who was above, took out a scalpel, gestured on the mannequin, and scanned the back... The old men didn't seem to have much reaction.
Li Shan was still thinking whether these old guys would cause trouble... but after a few classes, he didn't find any chance to slap him in the face.
He knew the structure of the human body so well that he must have had a lot of contact with corpses... Li Shan thought that this would shock the world, and the doctors would scold him for being illegal, but he didn't expect that the doctors who were just discussing in a low voice listened attentively, and their ears stood up.
The so-called autopsy would have been difficult to describe in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it was not unacceptable. At least these doctors knew what it was, and Li Shan's explanation was of great benefit to them.
At the end of the class, Li Shan asked a few simple questions. Most of the more than thirty students below...were confused, and only five or six could answer them clearly.
Li Shan was a little frustrated... This learning efficiency is simply incredible!
Well, I can only comfort myself. I just wanted to train some caregivers. If I don’t understand, it’s good to just follow the instructions.
Li Shan planned that the entire training phase would take about two months... In fact, it was mainly due to a change in concepts. This was why he would rather find some illiterate peasants than use ready-made students from the Imperial Medical Office.
But what he didn't expect was that after class, those old men with gray hair and beards crowded up and asked questions. There was no rebuke in their words, but full of curiosity. Most of the questions asked were a bit hilarious, but there were also a few questions.
It's quite interesting.
Li Shan stood next to the mannequin, gesticulating with the scalpel, and answered casually, his lips flying up and down.
Zhen Quan pointed to the lines of the mannequin, "Are these meridians?"
"No, it's blood vessels." Li Shan clicked his tongue twice. There are huge differences between Chinese medicine and Western medicine.
Zhen Quan nodded slightly and stared at the lines intently, not knowing what he was thinking... Of course Li Shan didn't know that this Zhen Quan was the author of the famous "Mingtang Human Figure".
Zhen Quan could vaguely feel that although Li Langjun was young, did not know how to diagnose pulse, and had read few medical books, the medical skills he learned had its own system and clear context.
After explaining for a long time, Zhen Liyan took a short break and asked impatiently: "Li Langjun diagnosed and treated Princess Pingyang that day. It is said that he used secret medicine?"
"Third brother!" Zhen Quan shouted in a low voice, how could such a doctor freely inquire about the secret medicine.
"It doesn't matter." Li Shan said with a smile: "It is indeed a secret medicine, but it is actually a narrow escape from death."
"First of all, these medicines can only treat trauma and cause poison to enter the bone marrow. Secondly, this medicine is actually poison. Fighting poison with poison will not save one out of ten."
Looking around, Li Shan said with a smile: "Don't let it out. It's not to keep the secret. It's leaking, for fear of poisoning the world."
Some people nodded, some tried to smooth things over, and some looked plain. Li Shan said with a smile: "Princess Pingyang recovered so quickly. I have a little merit, but the famous doctors of the Imperial Medical Department also contributed a lot..."
Everyone carries the sedan chair. Li Shan diagnosed and treated Princess Pingyang, and several famous doctors were saved as a result. Li Shan was willing to share the credit, and he would not take away everyone's jobs. Naturally, it was good for you and me, and good for everyone.
After explaining for a long time, seeing that it was almost noon, Li Shan invited everyone to go to Dongshan Restaurant... Although he did not join the Imperial Medical Office, he was still considered a colleague.
Zhen Liyan sighed: "Lingnan medical skills also have merits, and Li Langjun's reputation is well-deserved."
Li Shan kept being humble, and the slightly younger doctor on the side introduced him in a low voice.
"It turns out to be Taichang Cheng." Li Shan was a little surprised. Taichang Cheng is Taichang Qing's deputy. His status cannot be said to be high, but it is not limited to the Imperial Medical Office.
But what surprised Li Shan the most was that Taichang Cheng was best at treating parasitic diseases. He would make people take realgar, and then the patient would vomit out a few worms... I don’t know if it’s true or not.
In fact, this Taichang Cheng was quite famous in history. Li Shan's nemesis Du Yan was seriously ill. Zhen Liyan was ordered by Li Shimin to diagnose and treat him, saying that he would die in the eleventh day... Then on the eleventh day, Du Yan died.
As soon as everyone walked around the new house, they suddenly heard violent shouts of harmony. In the courtyard of the Imperial Medical Office, two big men were fighting with their bare hands, shouting wildly and showing blue veins.
