Upon learning that Liu Jin was coming, Zhang Zhigang, Li Anyuan and other leaders of Daming Medical College also hurried over.
"After court, if you have nothing to do, come over and take a look."
Liu Jin wandered around the Daming Medical College very casually and could see many doctors who came to take the medical examination.
"How did the exam go?"
Liu Jin is still very concerned about this matter. Medical technology is not only related to the national economy and people's livelihood, but also to his own health. The improvement of Ming's medical technology is also a good thing for him. No one can guarantee that he will not get sick.
.
"Everything is going very smoothly. All the prefectures and counties in Beizhili have almost passed the assessment. We have also accumulated a lot of experience. The next step is to start promoting it nationwide."
"However, the results of the exam were very bad. It should be said that it was much worse than we imagined."
"Most of the doctors in various states and counties are of average quality, basically just qualified as junior doctors. We even found a lot of quack doctors who can't even do the most basic diagnosis of medicine. Many doctors actually rely on their ancestors."
The one or two pills that have been uploaded have been used for decades."
"No matter what the disease is, I'm prescribed those kinds of pills. Other than that, I can't even feel my pulse accurately."
As soon as Zhang Zhigang heard this, he quickly reported the assessment situation to Liu Jin.
The situation is very bad. The level of doctors in various states and counties is very limited, and there are a lot of quacks. The key is that in many places, there are only a few quacks, and there are too few medical talents.
"I have already expected this situation."
"So we still need to continue to expand the teaching scale of the medical school, recruit more students, and train more medical talents. Only in this way can we improve the medical level of our country."
"In addition, for the existing doctors, we also need to find ways to improve their medical skills. The simplest way is to re-educate and continue their education."
Liu Jin thought for a while and nodded.
Liu Jin actually already knew almost all about Ming Dynasty's medical conditions and medical technology.
In an era when the average life expectancy is only over 30 years old, how much better can the medical conditions get?
What's more, even the emperor's medical skills are very poor, let alone the doctors who treat the common people. There are a few barefoot doctors and charlatans who are considered good. In some places, when you get sick, you can't even find anyone who knows medical skills.
Come to see a doctor.
Of course, it’s not just the Ming Dynasty, it’s similar all over the world, and even in other parts of the world, medical technology and conditions are even worse.
The Indians in the Americas believed in gods, and once a plague occurred, they used human sacrifices on a large scale; Europeans, who were still affected by the darkness and ignorance of the Middle Ages, thought there was a devil in their bodies when they got sick, so they popularized bloodletting therapy; the Kunlun slaves in Africa used
Sacrificial means to pray for health.
It’s similar all over the world. After all, Ming Dynasty still has a mature TCM treatment system, which is pretty good.
"Sir, please rest assured. We are already organizing those doctors who have completed their examinations to conduct re-education and re-study. How about we go and have a look together?"
Zhang Zhigang also replied quickly.
"Okay, let's go and have a look."
Liu Jin smiled and agreed.
In a classroom of Daming Medical College, more than a hundred doctors from various prefectures and counties in Northern Zhili were attending lectures. Gao Quan, Li Xiang, Zhang Xing and others from Pingshan County were also among them.
"Everyone, please see, this is the measuring instrument newly developed by our Daming Medical College. This is called a blood pressure meter, this is a stethoscope, and this is a thermometer."
"Everyone has these three things on their desk. Next, I will teach you how to use these three things and how to diagnose diseases through these three things."
While Gao Quan was listening to the teacher on the podium, he also picked up the three things on his desk and studied them carefully.
"Can these weird things be used to diagnose diseases?"
Next to Gao Quan, Zhang Xing looked at the three things on the table with some indifference.
"That's right. When you see a doctor, you just need to look, hear, ask and ask questions. When did you rely on these heresy?"
Someone also followed suit.
Everyone is very unhappy, really unhappy.
In particular, some people have not even obtained the qualifications of junior doctors, which means that after they return, they will no longer have the qualifications to practice medicine, the medical clinic will be closed, and their jobs will be lost. How can they feel better?
"Let me introduce this thermometer to you first. This thermometer is triangular with many scales on it. It contains mercury~"
"When using it, you need to hold it under your arm for about half a stick of incense, then take it out and observe the scale on it. You can try it first and put it under your arm to measure your own.
temperature."
Following the teacher's speech on the podium, Gao Quan also learned to put it under his arm.
"If you put it under your armpit, wouldn't it be indecent if a woman goes to see a doctor?"
Zhang Xing couldn't help but shake his head.
"Yeah, and there's that stethoscope. I've also heard of it. I heard that it's put here on the chest to listen for the heartbeat. Isn't this taking advantage of the opportunity?"
Someone next to me said.
"The temperature of our human body is generally between 36-37 degrees. Degree is the unit for calculating temperature. Once the human body becomes sick, the body temperature will be abnormal. Someone must have a cold. Generally, the body temperature will rise above 37 degrees, and in severe cases, it will even exceed 38
degrees, even 39 degrees.”
"Generally speaking, once the temperature exceeds 37, it is necessary to reduce the fever and cool down, especially in children. If the temperature is too high and lasts for too long, it is easy to damage the brain. If the temperature exceeds 41 or 42 degrees,
It is very likely that he will die within a short period of time."
"I have a book here published by our Daming Medical College. It introduces in detail the use of thermometers, as well as many corresponding cases and corresponding treatments."
"The book is free for everyone. You can take a good look at it and learn from it after you go back."
"Next, I will tell you how to use this blood pressure monitor. It is similar to a thermometer. The blood pressure in the human body is also within a range."
"If the value is lower than this range, it may be hypotension, and the common symptoms of hypotension are dizziness, weakness in the limbs, etc."
"If it is higher than this range, it means high blood pressure, and high blood pressure is often prone to stroke, myocardial infarction, kidney disease, etc."
The teacher on the podium constantly explained how to use various new tools and related content. At the same time, each tool was accompanied by a book that explained in detail how to use it and related symptoms.
These are all summed up by professors, teachers, etc. of Daming Medical College after a large number of cases, forming a relatively complete system.
Below the podium, some doctors study very seriously and are very interested in these new things. Gao Quan is one of them. He listens to the lectures very seriously and is devoted to his studies.
But there are also some doctors who are very indifferent to this, and are not even willing to look at it, go there, let alone try it. On the one hand, they are resistant to new things, and on the other hand, they are often assessed this time.
The professional titles they obtain are too low, and many people may not even be able to open a medical clinic in the future.
Naturally, I was very unhappy and unwilling to learn this set of things from Daming Medical College.
"Everyone, please see, this is a microscope, which can be used to see very, very small things."
"The bacteria, viruses, etc. mentioned in the Daming Medical Journal were observed through microscopes."
"You may think, what does this microscope have to do with our practice of medicine?"
"The relationship is very important, because there are various bacteria, viruses, etc. in our daily lives. Some bacteria and viruses are harmless to our human body, and some will cause various diseases once they enter our body.
All kinds of diseases.”
"..."
Gao Quan listened to the teacher's speech on the stage, holding a microscope in his hand, and began to operate it according to the instructions.
I have heard of this thing before, it was mentioned in the Daming Medical Journal and the Ming Dynasty Morning Post that it can magnify many times and observe the world around you.
This sounded like a fantasy in the past, but now I got a microscope and operated it myself. Sure enough, I saw a different world under the microscope. There were many very small things that looked like bugs.
Something appears in the eye.
"This book records in detail the types of bacteria and viruses that we have collected, discovered, and observed at Daming Medical College. Some of the characteristics of these bacteria and viruses have been clearly understood and related diseases, but there are still many that we are still
Didn’t figure it out.”
"Everyone can take it back to have a look and learn about it. If any new bacteria and viruses are discovered, you can write to us at Daming Medical College. We have relevant awards. Every time a new bacteria or virus is discovered, there will be rewards.
Ten taels of silver."
"If you can figure out the related characteristics or the symptoms it causes, etc., you can get a reward of one hundred taels of silver. Many students in our academy study this thing every day when they have nothing to do. Some people even rely on this to get
A reward of several thousand taels of silver."
Gao Quan's eyes lit up as he listened to the teacher's words on the stage.
This Daming Medical College is really unique. It has even set up special bonuses to reward new research and new discoveries. However, combined with what he has seen and heard at Daming Medical College these days, he can't help but
Nod straight.
"Daming Medical College is indeed well-deserved. The people here are not limited to the traditional medical field. They are constantly pioneering and innovating, researching new medical tools, medical methods, researching diseases, researching pharmacology, and researching new drugs. No wonder their medicine
