"The imperial court issued the "Ming Medical Code", established the Ming Medical System, and assessed and rated all doctors who practiced medicine. Those who failed to meet the standards were disqualified from practicing medicine!"
As the morning sun rises, Pingshan County begins to become lively.
Pingshan County is the westernmost county in Beizhili, located at the eastern foot of the Taihang Mountains. Because there is a cement road from the capital to the west leading to Shaanxi and Gansu, the communication between Pingshan County and the capital is very convenient.
A large number of horse-drawn carriages pass through Pingshan County every day, bringing the Ming Dynasty Morning Post and the Ming Dynasty Medical Journal that are found every day in the capital to Pingshan County.
The habit of reading newspapers among young and old men in the Beijing-Tianjin area has gradually become popular throughout the Ming Dynasty, especially in Beizhili. Because it is close to the emperor, it is even more affected by the customs of the Beijing-Tianjin area.
Most of the housing construction in Pingshan County is similar to that of the local area. Reinforced concrete, white walls, ceramic tiles, glass windows, etc. can be seen everywhere.
The ubiquitous teahouses were also filled with guests, and a large number of people gathered around the newspaper reader. Everyone was holding the latest newspaper shipped from the capital, reading and listening at the same time.
"Pa~"
"The publication of the "Da Ming Medical Code" by the imperial court this time should be a major event that can be recorded in the annals of history."
"The reason why I say this is based on this Ming Medical Code. In the future, our Ming Dynasty will establish a complete medical system. This is something that has never happened in previous dynasties."
"This shows that our Ming Dynasty is becoming more prosperous and prosperous, and it also shows that the emperor truly loves his people like his own son, and always cares about the life and death of our people in his heart."
"According to this medical code, in the future, the doctors who open medical clinics in the Ming Dynasty must pass a unified assessment. Based on the results of the assessment, the levels will be determined, from apprentice, student, junior doctor, intermediate doctor, senior doctor to professor, a total of seven
level, only those who have reached the level of a junior doctor are qualified to open a medical clinic independently."
"If you want to recruit disciples, you must have the qualifications of an intermediate doctor. At the same time, there are extremely strict regulations and systems for the assessment of doctors at all levels."
"For those who are not qualified, not only do they not have the right to open a medical clinic, but they are not even allowed to sell medicines. Those quacks who killed countless people in the past, and those quack doctors, only know how to collect money and prescribe medicines."
The prescriptions have no effect."
"With a complete medical system in place, these quacks, charlatans and the like will have nowhere to hide, and they can no longer rely on this to deceive the people."
"And it was mentioned above that the imperial court will allocate funds to build more medical schools and train more medical talents. In the future, a public hospital will be built in every town and town throughout the Ming Dynasty."
The newspaper reader read the newspaper carefully, and then explained it in detail to everyone.
"Great~"
"Those charlatans should have been dealt with a long time ago. Some people are selling some flour as pills, and selling them for a few taels of silver each, to defraud people of their money."
"Yes, yes, it should have been like this a long time ago."
"It is better to see a doctor in the city. There are several medical clinics. However, in the lower towns, it is difficult to find a medical clinic. Even if you find it, the doctors in the clinic are basically quack doctors who even treat colds and colds.
not good."
"Isn't that right? It's better now. In the future, doctors will all be passed examinations. There will be hospitals in every town and town."
"The Emperor truly loves his people as his own son, and he is always concerned about our people's medical treatment."
"Isn't that right? Today's emperor is an eternal sage. Otherwise, our Ming Dynasty would not be so powerful. Now our territory is almost reaching Europe."
After everyone listened, they also expressed their opinions one after another. For ordinary people like them, this must be a good thing. The imperial court has standardized the medical practice system, and everyone will be more reliable in medical treatment in the future.
But for doctors in medical clinics, this is not a good thing.
Gao Quan from Huichun Hall in Pingshan County couldn't help but frown while looking at the latest Daming Morning News and Daming Medical College.
"Isn't this just looking for something to do? Regular assessment and study are required. Everyone's recipes are passed down from ancestors. Who will show them to everyone to learn from?"
"There are also these treatment methods. Everyone regards them as treasures and do not go out easily. If we organize everyone to learn from each other, what can we learn?"
Gao Quan couldn't help but shake his head.
He is a traditional doctor. He learned medicine from his father. His medical skills are quite good and he is considered a famous doctor in Pingshan County. He did not hang the plaque of Huichun Hall by himself, but was given by others.
He carefully studied the "Da Ming Medical Code" promulgated by the imperial court and felt that the imperial court was looking for something to do and made too many demands on medical doctors like them.
Assessments must be conducted regularly, and levels must be determined based on the level of assessment, and corresponding certificates and medical qualifications must be obtained. At the same time, there must be regular inspections of medical clinics that must comply with relevant regulations, and even the drugs sold must be strictly regulated.
Require.
This made him feel very troublesome.
There is no need for such trouble in practicing medicine.
In the past, whether a person could open a medical clinic in a certain place must first of all have excellent medical skills, and secondly, he must gain recognition from his peers.
Generally speaking, the number of medical clinics in a place is limited. If someone wants to open a medical clinic, he must first obtain the consent of other medical clinics.
Therefore, those who come after you have to visit the seniors first, and those who opened a medical clinic first usually take a test on you. If you are not good at medicine, you will not be able to pass the accreditation, and naturally you will not be able to open a medical clinic to practice medicine.
These are the rules for opening a medical clinic. Of course, there are similar rules for opening a martial arts gym, opening an escort agency, etc. They are all similar. After all, this is a matter of stealing people's business. Without strong skills, you will not be able to stand at all.
Of course, these are all formal methods, and they are also something that everyone recognizes, and this has always been the case.
As long as you get the approval of your peers, there won't be any other troubles.
But things are different now. The imperial court has directly issued the "Da Ming Medical Code", which stipulates all medical personnel and medical clinics, requiring everyone to do things according to the contents of the Medical Code, which makes people feel troublesome.
.
"Master~ Master Li from Jishi Hall and Master Zhang from Huiren Hall, please come to Jishi Hall. They said they have something important to discuss."
At this time, Gao Quan's apprentice hurriedly came over with an invitation and said.
"Well, I understand. I'll be there right away."
Gao Quan nodded slightly and stood up immediately. He knew with his toes that everyone must be discussing this matter.
Soon, Gao Quan arrived at Jishi Hall in a four-wheeled carriage. Doctor Li Xiang from Jishi Hall was the leader of the medical community in Pingshan County. If anything happened, he would usually take the lead in convening everyone to discuss it.
"Everyone is here~"
Li Xiang looked at Gao Quan, Zhang Xing and others. They all opened medical clinics in the same county. They were all acquaintances, so there was no nonsense and they went straight to the point.
"Everyone has read today's Daming Morning Post and Daming Medical Journal. It will not be easy for us to practice medicine in the future. We have to study every year, take assessments regularly, and even get together regularly to exchange medical skills."
"The imperial court is messing around. How can we medical practitioners treat people with peace of mind?"
Li Xiang was very dissatisfied and said that he also felt overwhelmed by the "Da Ming Medical Code" issued by the imperial court, and suddenly felt that there were a lot more things.
"Isn't that right? It was not easy for us to practice medicine originally. We just had to make a living. Now we are fine. Maybe those officials will blackmail us in the future. If we don't show enough filial piety, our qualifications to practice medicine may be revoked.
"
Zhang Xing from Huirentang also said worriedly.
To be honest, anything that has anything to do with the government is not a good thing, and it inevitably costs money.
"That's right, that's right~"
The other doctors also nodded one after another, and all of them complained repeatedly.
"This level assessment is simply not good. How to evaluate the level of medical skills?"
"Each of us has more or less ancestral prescriptions, and each of us is good at treating different diseases. There is no unified evaluation standard at all."
"That's right, that's right, maybe it's for the prescription in our hands."
"I have heard that Daming Medical College is constantly collecting various prescriptions and treatment methods from all over the world, and it wants to make all these prescriptions and treatment methods public. Isn't this going to ruin the jobs of people like us?
Without the prescription, what will we eat and drink?"
"I've also heard about this. How can this ancestral thing be handed over so easily?"
"Also, there will be restrictions on accepting apprentices from now on. Only those who have obtained the rating of an intermediate doctor can accept apprentices. If we don't get the rating, we won't even be qualified to accept apprentices, and we won't be able to open a medical clinic in the future."
"Who hasn't hired a few apprentices to help prepare medicine, boil medicine, etc. If we can't let us do all these things ourselves in the future, we won't be able to do much in that day."
"Yes, yes~"
"The superiors want us to go to the capital to take assessments and study. I really want to go and have a look to see how high the level of those who give us assessments can be, so that they may not be as good as us by then."
"I heard that this time the Ministry of Household Affairs took the lead, and people from Daming Medical College and Daming Royal Medical College discussed and introduced this system."
"The people at Daming Medical College have a very good reputation, but I don't know how many real talents they have. They ask us to study and they also test us."
Everyone was getting more and more angry as they talked. They were living a good life of hanging pots to help the world. Because of this incident, everyone's peaceful life was broken, and naturally they were very unhappy.
But they were unhappy, and they still had to abide by what was handed down from the imperial court. Everyone also made an appointment to go to the capital together to participate in this assessment and study.
