In the living room of Liu Mansion, Li Anyuan and his team were waiting patiently.
Logically speaking, it is just to inoculate the people of the Liu family against smallpox. He does not need to come forward in person. The medical school can just send a few doctors here.
But he still brought people here in person, mainly to thank Liu Jin.
This time he led a team to Huanghuangzhou to fight against smallpox, and developed a safe and reliable method of vaccination against cowpox and smallpox virus. He also made great contributions, saving millions of descendants of the Yin Shang Dynasty, and also contributed to the prevention of smallpox after the Ming Dynasty.
Also very helpful.
The Ming Dynasty Medical Journal has compared him to Hua Tuo of the time, a miraculous doctor. This reputation is very high, especially for a medical practitioner, this is the highest honor.
Today's achievements are all thanks to Liu Jin. Without the Daming Medical College established by Liu Jin, he might still be practicing medicine in his hometown medical clinic, even though he is also a master.
But after all, the fame is not as great as it is now, not to mention that it cannot be recorded in the annals of history. It is different now. Not only is it famous, but it is also recorded in the annals of history. It is famous in history and will be remembered for generations.
Even the Emperor of Heaven is preparing to summon him and reward him. It can be said that it is extremely glorious and honors the ancestors. For a doctor to achieve this level, it can be said that he will die without regrets.
Li Anyuan and others did not wait too long, and Liu Jin came over with a smile on his face.
"Professor Li~"
Liu Jin smiled and bowed his hands in salute.
"Mr. Liu~"
Li Anyuan and others stood up and replied respectfully.
"Please sit down~"
After some pleasantries, Li Anyuan brought the doctor to vaccinate several of Liu Jin's children, while he chatted with Liu Jin about smallpox prevention.
"Professor Li, if we want to comprehensively promote and popularize smallpox vaccination nationwide, how much manpower and financial investment will be needed?"
Liu Jin is more concerned about this matter. Vaccination to prevent smallpox virus is the most effective way to prevent smallpox virus. Every year in Ming Dynasty, some places report smallpox virus outbreaks. More or less, tens of thousands of people die from smallpox virus every year.
under.
If we can carry out comprehensive vaccination against smallpox virus, we can basically eliminate the smallpox virus and reduce population losses.
"I'm afraid this will be difficult~"
"There are no big problems in terms of manpower and money. Smallpox vaccination is not difficult. With some casual training, even ordinary people can learn it immediately."
"If we want to promote it nationwide, we only need to carry it out in medical clinics everywhere."
"As for funding, we can charge some fees appropriately, plus some allocations from the court, which is enough."
"The current problem is that the production of smallpox virus powder for vaccination is insufficient. There are 1.5 billion people in the country. With such a huge population, if all of them are vaccinated, the demand will be too great, and our production cannot keep up."
"This time in Huangjinzhou, isolation and prevention methods were also used to contain the smallpox virus in Huangjinzhou. Not everyone can be vaccinated."
Li Anyuan thought for a while and shook his head slightly.
"Well, that's a problem~"
After hearing this, Liu Jin nodded slightly, thought for a while and said: "Now let's promote it in big cities across the Ming Dynasty. In the early stage, we will adopt a fee-based system to vaccinate only wealthy people. After we have enough funds, we will expand the scale and slowly spread it to
Come to the common people and spread it."
"You also need to lead people to study how to cultivate vaccination methods on a large scale and strive to popularize and promote it as soon as possible. You must know that tens of thousands of people die from the smallpox virus every year in Ming Dynasty."
"Yes, I have already led people to study it."
Li Anyuan quickly wrote it down.
"Also, how are you doing with the establishment and improvement of the medical system that I asked you to do?"
Liu Jin thought for a while and asked again.
Medical technology in ancient times was extremely backward, and in many places it was still very feudal and superstitious. In many places, the people who practiced medicine were barefoot doctors or quacks. They did not have much medical skills themselves and used the guise of practicing medicine to defraud property.
The number of people who die every year due to lack of treatment or indiscriminate treatment is unknown. This is also the reason why the average life expectancy in ancient times was only more than 30 years old, and medical conditions were very poor.
Regarding this point, Liu Jin was determined to reform.
The establishment of Daming Medical College is just the beginning. In addition to researching new medicine, new drugs, new treatment methods, etc., it is also necessary to promote and establish a complete medical treatment and medical system throughout Daming.
The most important of these is to establish a vocational training and induction system to train and assess doctors nationwide in the Ming Dynasty. Only doctors who pass the training can obtain certificates issued by the imperial court. Only with certificates can they practice medicine in the Ming Dynasty, and can also practice medicine in the Ming Dynasty.
Training and learning should be carried out regularly.
At the same time, there are extremely strict regulations on apprentice training, education, medical practice, etc. Only doctors who have reached a certain level can accept apprentices, and relevant qualification certificates will be issued.
This system was also implemented in later generations, and it was also a very effective medical system.
"Liu Gong, we have popularized a lot of basic medical knowledge and drugs through the Ming Medical Journal, but it is still difficult to train doctors nationwide in the Ming Dynasty and issue grade qualification certificates. This requires the imperial court.
I will submit the official document below and use the power of the imperial court to promote this matter."
Li Anyuan thought for a while and said with a confused expression.
Daming Medical College alone would not be able to accomplish such a thing.
Because carrying out medical reform will offend many people and affect the interests of many people, it will be greatly obstructed when it reaches the local level. However, Daming Medical College itself is not an institution of the imperial court and does not have compulsory capabilities.
Therefore, the imperial court must promote this matter. This is also an important reason why Li Anyuan came to Liu Jin this time. Daming Medical College needs Liu Jin's support.
After several years of development, Daming Medical College has become larger and larger, enrolling more and more students and cultivating a large number of medical talents.
Especially after Emperor Hongzhi’s intestinal carbuncle was cured through surgery last year, the reputation of Daming Medical College became even more famous. Many people came here for treatment every day, even from Korea, Japan, and Siam in Southeast Asia.
Some people travel thousands of miles to seek medical treatment.
However, the establishment of Daming Medical College was still relatively short after all, and its power was often limited, especially when it came to the establishment of many medical systems, and it seemed powerless.
"Well, I have the same idea."
"The medical school is mainly focused on cultivating medical talents and researching medicine. In terms of system construction, it is more appropriate to use the power of the imperial court to promote it."
"Your Majesty will summon you in the near future. Before that, I will explain to your Majesty the necessity of establishing these systems, so as to promote the establishment of the Ming Dynasty's medical system."
"You and Professor Zhang Zhigang will conduct detailed discussions and research on the details of the establishment of the medical system, and strive to come up with a complete system."
"No matter what, we must make sufficient preparations first, so that we will be more convincing when it is in the hands of His Majesty and the princes of the court."
Liu Jin thought about it and said solemnly.
This system must be established to prepare and guarantee the long-term prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.
With the advent of the colonial era and the capital era, exchanges and exchanges between various places have become more and more frequent, and the population will slowly concentrate in cities. Without a complete medical system, once problems arise, it will inevitably be hit hard.
As a whole country and society, if you look at Europe in the Middle Ages, you will know that tens of millions of people died due to the Black Death, so much so that Europe almost completely collapsed.
Liu Jin didn't want to see something like this happen in Ming Dynasty.
What's more, the establishment of a medical system can improve the level of medicine and greatly increase the average life expectancy, which is also very important to the Ming Dynasty.
As the territory becomes wider and wider, and more and more land is owned, more people are naturally needed to fill these areas. Increasing the fertility rate is one aspect, reducing mortality and increasing average life expectancy are also very important means.
"Yes, I will continue to discuss this matter with Professor Zhang and Professor Wang after I return."
Li Anyuan nodded quickly. To be honest, he felt that he had really learned a lot since he came to Daming Medical College. Compared with practicing medicine in a medical clinic, there was so much to learn after becoming a Daming Medical College.
New medical techniques, new drugs, new medical methods, new tools, etc., all need to be learned and studied. Even the medical system needs to be formulated by oneself and others based on their own medical experience.
To be honest, he feels very tired, but he also feels that such a life is meaningful, and at the same time, he can learn a lot from it.
"Hmm~"
"And how is the opening of the obstetrics and gynecology department at the medical school going?"
Liu Jin nodded, thought for a while and asked again.
In ancient times, women who gave birth to children were literally on the verge of death. In an era when medical conditions and concepts were extremely backward, it was very dangerous for women to give birth. Every year, countless people died due to dystocia.
Since it is a medical school, it is natural to study this aspect, and at the same time set up an obstetrics and gynecology department to train professional obstetricians and gynecologists and doctors.
"Liu Gong, it has always been difficult to promote this aspect. Although we have vigorously publicized this matter, few people will send their girls to learn this. Everyone is taboo about this aspect."
Li Anyuan thought about it and said with some regret, in ancient times this aspect was extremely taboo and considered unclean, so few people were willing to learn it.
"We just want to change this concept and help people deliver babies. This is a matter of the Holy Spirit and something worthy of joy, because we are welcoming the arrival of new life."
"Well, I will let the Tomorrow Morning News do the publicity, and you should also try your best to recruit students."
