Wu Yuntu, Zhang Zhigang, Li Anyuan, Li Tong, Qian Hui and others also remembered it firmly. Since they accepted Liu Jin's invitation and became one of the founders of Daming Medical College, they naturally have to be 100% dedicated.
.
Liu Jin was also very good to them.
They are busy here in the medical school, and they are also the ones who receive the highest salary. A few of them get more than 100 silver dollars every month. Such a high salary is definitely enough for them to have enough food and clothing. Compared with themselves
You can earn much more by opening a medical clinic and practicing medicine.
Therefore, he naturally had to pay attention to what Liu Jin told him, and at the same time he felt huge pressure.
Liu Jin's requirements were very high, which were completely different from what they imagined.
Originally, they just thought of building a medical school and teaching more students. Based on the benevolence of doctors, they were willing to selflessly teach everything they had learned and accumulated.
The world is full of peaches and plums, which is also very good for them.
But now it seems that Liu Jin has too many demands. It is not just as simple as teaching medicine, but also researching new tools, summarizing past experience, developing innovations on the original basis, etc.
This requirement is much higher, and they also feel a lot of pressure. This is only one of the three systems Liu Jin talked about, and there are two more systems behind it.
"This second system is the medical system."
"There are two main types of medicines we use now. One is boiled medicine, and the other is powder. It takes time to boil the medicine, and the taste is very bitter. Can we think of ways to change it?"
"For example, find a way to concentrate the boiled potion to condense the useful medicine into a small ball, so that it won't be so bitter when taking the medicine."
"There are also children who don't like to take bitter medicine. Can you try adding sugar to the medicine to reduce the bitter taste?"
"In addition, as our Ming Dynasty expands around the world, a large number of new plants, animals, etc. appear. Our medical school not only needs to study traditional medicine, elixirs, etc., but also needs to study new plants and animals from all over the world.
Animals, plants, medicines, etc.”
"Perhaps many diseases that are difficult to treat here in the Ming Dynasty can be easily treated using drugs from overseas. My people wrote back from Huangjinzhou and said that here in Huangjinzhou, the local descendants of the Yin Shang
If they get malaria (malaria), they will use the bark of a tree called cinchona tree, make soup with the bark and drink it, and it will be cured in a few days."
Liu Jin looked at a few people and then spoke slowly.
"What?"
"Is there such a magical medicine that can cure ailments in just a few days?"
Hearing Liu Jin's words, Qian Hui immediately asked in surprise, because he had just received such a patient a few days ago. In this era, the disease is very difficult to treat.
"Mr. Liu, do you have this kind of tree bark that you can bring back to Ming Dynasty?"
Li Tong also asked quickly.
"This type of stagnation can be divided into several types, such as the evil stagnation Shaoyang type, the summer heat internal stagnation type, the summer heat internal stagnation type, the invasion of epidemic diseases, the deficiency of righteousness and the evil love, and other basic species states. Each requires different methods and elixirs to treat."
"But no matter which kind, it is very difficult to cure, and the treatment time is very long. It is incredible that the bark of the cinchona tree can be cured in a few days."
Zhang Zhigang also nodded and said.
When other people heard this, they also nodded. A famous doctor is a famous doctor. He only knows how to treat the disease clearly and knows how to divide it into different types to prescribe the right medicine.
"Yes, yes, I have asked people to collect a lot of animals and plants from the Golden Continent and bring them back. Among them is the bark of the cinchona tree. I will ask people to bring it to you later."
Liu Jin thought for a while and nodded.
"That's great, I can't wait to try it now."
Qian Hui said excitedly.
"This is just an example I gave. There are many kinds of plants, animals, medicinal stones, etc. all over the world. Similarly, there are countless countries, tribes, races, etc. all over the world. Each one
Countries, civilizations, and races also have their own medical skills, medicines, etc."
"In this regard, we should also learn more from them, take their essence and discard the dross, and save the essence. Many diseases that we have no cure or treatment in the Ming Dynasty may be easily cured overseas."
"In the same way, there are a lot of various animal and plant resources in the world. For new things, we should follow the spirit of Shen Nong who tasted a hundred herbs to study the medicinal value of these new things and create more new ones.
Medicines and new prescriptions are coming out.”
"In addition, we should also study more efficient, more economical, and cheaper pharmaceutical methods and tools to make medicine more popular."
"Many people in Ming Dynasty are delayed in getting cured because medical treatment is expensive or far away. As a result, they are not cured. If we can train more doctors and produce cheaper drugs, the people of Ming Dynasty will be better."
Everyone can benefit from this.”
Liu Jin smiled and said.
As the connection between Ming Dynasty and overseas becomes closer and closer, more and more places and people come into contact, new things, new treatment methods, etc. are all worth learning and exploring.
Only through summary, induction, classification, continuous research, and continuous innovation can we achieve new breakthroughs.
"Shen Nong tastes a hundred herbs!"
When several people heard this, they suddenly felt even more stressed. This was not as simple as summarizing the prescription.
There are still new things to study, new medicines, new arts, etc., but if you think about it carefully, it seems that this medical school should be doing these things.
"The third system is surgery."
"Many things are very difficult to treat with medicine stones, but they can be treated through surgery. Secondly, how to treat injuries on the battlefield is also the field of surgery."
"In this regard, it may be necessary to break the shackles of thought and study the human body, dissect the human body, study the differences between various organs and tissues in the human body, study human blood, meridians, skin, organs, etc. Only when
Only with a clear understanding of all this can we truly improve our surgical techniques."
Liu Jin began to talk about the third system again, the field of surgery.
This is an extremely important area.
It is not that there is no field of surgery in traditional Chinese medicine. It also has it. In ancient times, Hua Tuo was treating Cao Cao. He invented Ma Fei San, which is actually the ancestor of anesthetic. He wanted to open Cao Cao's skull to treat his disease. Cao Cao didn't believe it, so he killed Hua Tuo.
(Of course this is a rumor, but he was indeed killed by Cao Cao).
Ma Fei Powder is intended for surgical operations. It can be seen that there is also surgery in Chinese medicine, but most Chinese medicine doctors do not know how to do it. Only a few Chinese medicine doctors understand this.
"Anatomy of the human body?"
When several people heard this, their expressions changed slightly. This was a taboo in ancient times, but what Liu Jin said was not wrong. If you don't know yourself well enough, how can you do the surgery?
"Yes, I will build a special research point on a small island in Nanyang, and then I will buy slaves for you to conduct experiments and dissections."
"I know this is a very difficult and painful process, but it is also a process that must be experienced, because if no one does this, we will never have a deep understanding of the human body, and naturally it will
It's hard to make a breakthrough in surgery."
"Not to mention anything else, but as for blood, people's blood is actually different. If different blood is mixed together, it will coagulate, but the same blood can be transfused to each other."
"During surgery, there will definitely be a lot of bleeding. If we can study the classification of human blood clearly and transfuse blood to the patient, we can ensure that the patient does not bleed to death from excessive blood loss."
"On the battlefield, I have seen some injured people. In fact, their injuries are not serious. What is really serious is bleeding. The bleeding will not stop. If the bleeding is too much, he will die naturally. But if he can be transfused with blood in time, he can be guaranteed to die."
Survive.”
Liu Jin nodded solemnly and mentioned the issue of blood again.
"This blood is divided into many types?"
When Li Anyuan heard this, he quickly asked curiously.
Regarding blood, there is almost no research in traditional Chinese medicine. They all think that blood is red and seems to be the same.
"Of course, here in Europe, the European medical community is studying blood. They have summarized an experience that blood can be transfused to each other, but only blood from people of the same blood type can be transfused to each other."
"And here in Europe, a method of treating diseases is very popular now, called bloodletting. They believe that people are sick because the blood in the body contains healing substances, and draining some of the blood can cure this disease.
disease."
Liu Jin nodded and said.
“Can bloodletting still cure diseases?”
"There is such a ridiculous treatment method."
When Wu Yuntu heard this, he was immediately dumbfounded and couldn't help but said angrily: "This is simply making fun of life."
"This is indeed ridiculous, but it is very popular here in Europe. Here in Golden Continent, when our people wrote back, I was a little unbelievable."
"However, the Europeans' research on blood is better than ours. They have roughly understood the types of blood, and they also know how to transfuse blood, how to safely bleed, stop bleeding, etc."
"Although it is stupid, there are still some things worth learning from it, and we can also learn some things that are useful to us."
Liu Jin smiled and nodded.
The bloodletting therapy in Europe lasted for a long time. Many famous figures in history died from this bloodletting therapy. For example, the Bald Eagle's founding father, Washington, died from the bloodletting therapy, and he was still alive.
In 1799, this had to make people sigh.
He just broke out in a sweat while inspecting his manor and did not change into dry clothes in time. As a result, he caught a cold and tonsillitis.
Even if you don't take medicine, don't get injections, and drink more hot water, you can slowly get better. However, you have to let your own doctor (well, it was mainly a hairdresser at the time) come to treat you. One blood test was not enough, and you hired two more.
A doctor came over and performed two more blood drains. After losing 2.5 liters of blood, he went to heaven to meet his God.
It is unbelievable to say it, but it was like this at the time. Bloodletting lasted for hundreds of years, even nearly a thousand years, and bloodletting killed many people, many famous people in history.
