Zhang Yiling stared blankly at Zhang Jin, his friend and surname who used to study medicine with him in the Imperial Medical Office.
I have always been in the system. After completing my studies, I became favored by my master, so I stayed in the Imperial Medical Office, and eventually became the new medical order.
But this senior brother is a person who has great pursuit of medicine and is not satisfied with learning medical skills in the Imperial Medical Office.
Later, he gave up his position as a doctor of imperial medicine and left, saying that he felt that his medical skills were not good enough.
Therefore, I decided to travel around the world and visit famous teachers again, so that my medical skills can reach a higher level.
Such a arrogant senior brother actually told himself after coming back that he had learned the art of treating hemorrhoids for several years.
At this moment, Zhang Yiling thought of another famous person from the Imperial Medical Office who was more arrogant and unruly: Cheng Taichang.
That person seemed to be very proficient in various diseases in the lower third path. Unexpectedly, this senior brother's specialization talent was also in this path.
Doctor Zhang humbly asked this senior brother for advice on the treatment of hemorrhoids. After all, during this period, Cheng Taichang had treated the eldest grandson Libu for constipation.
Zhang Yiling also devoted himself to researching lower third-grade diseases for a period of time, and had some experience in hemorrhoids.
Seeing senior brother Zhang Jin smile arrogantly and talking, "Junior brother, what you are reading should be the "Su Wen* Qi Qi Tong Tian Lun" in the "Huangdi Neijing", right?"
"In this article, the cause of hemorrhoids is explained very appropriately, so fullness, fascial dissection, and intestinal irritation are hemorrhoids...but the symptoms of hemorrhoids are not distinguished."
"However, in the "Fifty-Two Prescriptions for Diseases" written in the Qin and Han Dynasties, hemorrhoids were divided into four categories...the "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" also gave the name of five hemorrhoids..."
#####
Listening to senior brother Zhang Jin excitedly explaining the classification and treatment of hemorrhoids throughout the ages.
Zhang Yiling could not help but admire this senior brother who was far more dedicated to medical research than himself.
"Brother Yu, I learned from Master Wang. After my own summary, in addition to dividing hemorrhoids into nine types, there is another way to classify hemorrhoids, which is to divide hemorrhoids into internal and external ones..."
"...In addition, Master Wang uses not only medicine, acupuncture, guidance, fumigation and other methods to treat hemorrhoids...
If all methods fail, it doesn’t matter, because Master Wang still has the last resort, which is the art of removing hemorrhoids (Note 1).”
"Pick? Pick hemorrhoids?" Doctor Zhang's face immediately turned black. How do you pick that thing? I have picked grapes on grape trellises and fruits on trees.
But I have never seen anyone reach into the anus to remove hemorrhoids in my life.
Seeing the incredibly shocked face of his junior fellow student Zhang Yiling, Zhang Jin's sense of superiority became even more obvious.
Zhang Jin smiled heartily, stroking his long beard and then explained the confusion to the younger brother. "The so-called method of removing hemorrhoids is to use a sharp knife, hook, or other object to cut, hook, and burn to cure hemorrhoids."
"Senior brother, wait a moment..." Doctor Zhang was stunned for a moment, then quickly interjected, "Is it really possible to treat hemorrhoids with foreign objects such as knives, hooks, and blades?"
"Hahaha... Are you looking down on me, Brother Yu? Wait a moment, Tong'er, bring me my box."
Following Zhang Jin's greeting, the child who had been following him quickly placed the box he was carrying in front of Zhang Jin, and then stepped aside.
Then, Zhang Yiling saw Zhang Jin take out a package from his box and spread the package on the table.
Inside, a handful of strange knives made of fine iron, shining silver, and with different shapes were revealed.
This directly reminded Zhang Yiling of the densely packed surgical instruments he saw when he was admiring Cheng Chubi's surgery.
Today, Zhang Yiling finally saw the second doctor who used these sharp instruments to solve diseases.
This made Zhang Yiling couldn't help but shook his head slowly with some regret. "What a pity..."
Seeing Doctor Zhang next to him, he was shaking his head frequently, with a look of regret on his face, and he even said it was a pity.
"???" Zhang Jin looked at this junior brother who was inferior to him in medical skills with a confused expression.
"Senior brother, please don't misunderstand me. What I mean is that it would be nice if senior brother could come earlier."
Zhang Yiling smiled apologetically at his senior brother Zhang Jin and then explained.
"Senior brother, have you ever heard of the name Cheng Sanlang of Duke Lu's residence?"
Zhang Jin nodded and replied.
"Brother Yu, I arrived in Luoyang a few days ago and I just heard about him. I heard that he is quite accomplished in medicine, but I really don't know what diseases he is good at treating."
"It seems that the news is still not smooth. Senior brother, you know that what Cheng Taichang is best at is using knives, hooks, sharp blades and other foreign objects to cure patients' diseases, just like you, senior brother."
"Senior brother, how dare I lie to you about medicine?" Doctor Zhang said somewhat unhappily.
"It seems that senior brother has just entered the capital. If senior brother doesn't believe it, just ask someone in the Imperial Medical Office. Senior brother, you will know that what I said is true."
"Such a strange person actually appeared in Chang'an City..." Zhang Jin's eyes lit up.
His eyes fell on his own set of special knives, and he couldn't help but say with emotion. "As a brother, I followed Master Wang to travel across the states in the south of the Yangtze River, and I have seen countless doctors."
"But when it comes to this method of healing patients with sharp blades, Master Wang is the only one. I don't think there are people like him in Chang'an."
"By the way, where is he now?"
Seeing that his senior brother looked like he wanted to rush out to find someone to get acquainted with, Zhang Yiling waved his hand and said with a bit of laughter.
"If you had come earlier, senior brother, Cheng Sanlang would be right here."
"???"
Note 1: The art of removing hemorrhoids was discovered by ancient Chinese medical workers after a long period of diagnosis and treatment of hemorrhoids.
Not all patients are willing to follow doctors' advice, change their bad living habits, and cooperate with treatment to achieve the purpose of using drugs and various physical therapies to solve hemorrhoids.
Most of these patients who are greedy and unwilling to move are either high-ranking officials or wealthy businessmen.
They are in high positions or extremely wealthy and are not willing to listen to the doctors' advice, but they hope to relieve the pain caused by their illnesses.
For this reason, traditional Chinese medicine anorectal experts in the past dynasties have devoted themselves to repeated research in order to be able to explain their illnesses.
After diligent exploration and repeated experiments, we finally found that drugs, acupuncture, physical therapy, fumigation and other methods could not solve the patient's recurring hemorrhoids.
Hemorrhoids can be removed using metal instruments and a series of methods such as cutting, cauterization, etc., so as to cure the patient and restore the chrysanthemum pattern on the patient's eyes.
