Although Dr. Wei was very skeptical about the shopkeeper's words, his son just liked it, and in the end Dr. Wei paid for it for him.
Doctor Tian and Doctor Shao also picked their favorite bags, checked out and left together.
After walking out of the bookstore, the three doctors looked at each other and said in a false manner: "It's getting late."
"Yeah, it seems like it's time for dinner."
"Haha, yes, Zhuo Jing must have prepared dinner. How about the two doctors come home with me for a meal?"
Doctor Wei was the first to refuse, "The medical department has already prepared food for us and our son, so we don't want to waste it. I accept Doctor Tian's kindness with heart."
Doctor Shao said that his wife was also waiting for him to come home for dinner, so she also refused.
Everyone dispersed in front of the bookstore and went back to their respective places.
The shopkeeper watched them leave with his hands folded, and couldn't help but shook his head.
Wei Shizhong couldn't help but visit his father along the way.
Doctor Wei: "What are you looking at?"
"Father, you and Dr. Tian and Dr. Shao are both apprentices in the medical department, so they should be considered brothers, right? Why do you..." He paused and continued: "Why do you look so hypocritical?"
Dr. Wei: "...What do children know? We are already the same age, and our teachers and students are completely different. Although we are both apprentices in the medical department now, in a year, when I go back to my own pharmacy, they will also go back."
There are different ways to go to our respective masters."
"If the Tao is different, why should we be too close?"
Wei Shizhong asked with a confused look, "Then should Hu Xiaomei and I stay apart?"
Doctor Wei patted him on the head and said: "Idiot, can you be like us? How old are you when we are older?"
He said: "You and Hu Xiaomei are both young. Even if your father goes back home after a year, you will still have to stay as apprentices. You are apprentices who have learned from the very beginning, and the friendship is naturally not as good as that between me and Dr. Tian, so
Get along well with others."
He added: "As long as you can learn three-thirds of Mr. Zhou's medical skills, even if you can't enter the medical office and make a difference in the future, it will be enough to go home and inherit your own medical hospital."
Since Dr. Wei has brought his son to the medical office, he is naturally somewhat ambitious.
He thought that his son would study with Zhou Man. If he succeeded in his studies in a few years, it would be best to follow Zhou Man's path or take the exam to study at the Imperial Medical Office;
Then he will be an official when he comes out. Even if they are doctors and craftsmen, they still want to serve as officials and honor their ancestors.
If he is really poor and cannot enter the Imperial Medical Office, but as long as he learns some medical skills from Zhou Man and uses them, he can stay in the Medical Office and slowly work his way up;
In Doctor Wei's opinion, as long as his son can be a high-ranking official, even a ninth-rank official is enough.
As for the third option, it is to go back and inherit the family business when the first two have no results.
Doctor Wei reached out and patted his son on the shoulder and said: "Your talent is already the best among your brothers. If you can't learn it, it will be even harder for your brothers to learn and succeed."
"So you have to learn from Master Zhou. Don't look at the fact that our pharmacy receives so many patients every day. In fact, our situation is not good. If we don't have good medical skills and background support in the future, we will definitely decline."
Wei Shizhong said quickly: "Don't worry, Dad, I will study hard."
Doctor Wei sighed and nodded.
There are currently five apprentices in the Medical Department, and the two younger ones are okay. Because their knowledge is limited, now they just learn how to handle medicinal materials every day, memorize the names and properties of medicinal materials, and do some chores. They get along well with each other and are friendly and helpful to each other.
Zhou Man was quite satisfied with them, but he was not very satisfied with the three college apprentices.
Zhou Man received a trauma patient this afternoon. The patient slipped and fell down the hillside while going up the mountain to collect firewood. He was accidentally scratched by a cut tree stump and then hit a rock...
It was delivered in a timely manner, and he simply bandaged it to slow down the bleeding, so he was fine when it was delivered.
After Zhou Man examined the wound, he said: "It's a broken bone. It needs to be stitched and sutured. There are residual sawdust and some debris in the wound. It needs to be debrided. Make him a bowl of numbing powder."
Zhou Man did not prescribe a prescription because she felt that the three doctors must have a prescription for Ma Fei San. But seeing that none of the three people moved, she frowned slightly and called Xi Cong to help her, "Go and grab the Ma Fei San medicine.
Let Xiao Kou make the medicine, and you can do the killing."
Xi Cing followed Zhou Man to the battlefield and memorized some decoction recipes commonly used on the battlefield, and Ma Fei Powder was naturally one of them, so she turned around and went to grab the medicine.
Zhou Man turned to the three of them and said: "Doctor Tian, cut off his pants, Doctor Shao, go prepare the hemostatic medicine, two qian for Nanxing, three qian for Rhubarb..."
Zhou Man read the prescription directly, and after Dr. Shao wrote it down, he said to Dr. Wei: "Go and prepare the things for the surgery."
The three of them responded and started taking action.
Zhou Man stood aside and observed.
Xi Cake came back soon and said to Zhou Man: "The medicine is ready."
Zhou Man nodded slightly and asked her to prepare hot water and clean cloths.
Doctor Tian and Xibing had already cut off his clothes to expose the wound. Zhou Man saw that he was still bleeding and gave him an injection to stop the bleeding.
When everything was ready and the person drank the Ma Fei Powder, he casually used a thick needle to prick an acupuncture point. Seeing that he didn't have much reaction, he knew that the Ma Fei Powder had taken effect.
She cleaned her hands and prepared them, and said to the three people standing beside her: "Today you can see how I sew the bones, using hemostatic drugs, painkillers, and corresponding acupuncture techniques..."
Zhou Man explained and cooked at the same time, Xi Cake assisted at the side, and the three of them wrote quickly with small notebooks.
But Zhou Man occasionally said that, and sometimes he focused on the injuries of his men. Not to mention, her technique was superior to theirs. The amount of bleeding from the broken bones was very small, and the debris in the wounds was cleaned quickly and lightly.
Several times, they didn't look down on her and just picked and rummaged through the items and came out with very little damage to the skin.
Doctor Tian and the others stared blankly, this is a technique that requires many operations to learn.
Zhou Man cleaned the wound and said: "Now it's sutures, and there are many kinds of sutures... Xi Cake, bring the thread."
Xibing threaded the needle for her and gave it to her with a clip. Zhou Man took it and sewed it up quickly without any hesitation.
Doctor Tian and others opened their mouths. Among the three of them, only Doctor Shao had stitched wounds on people. Doctor Tian and Doctor Wei had only heard of it but had never seen it.
Now seeing Zhou Man's stitches, both of them were shocked. They saw that the originally big hole was slowly being stitched up, the amount of bleeding was greatly reduced, and the whole leg no longer looked so miserable.
Zhou Man finished suturing, stood sideways, and said to Xi Cing, "Let's bandage him after applying medicine. His legs can't move around. They still need to be fixed after applying medicine."
The cakes are ready.
Doctor Tian wanted to do it himself, so he volunteered: "Sir, let me do it."
"No need," Zhou Man said while washing his hands, "Come out and I'll take a look at the notes you took."
The three of them looked down together and looked at the ghostly symbols that they had written in a hurry that only they could understand:...
