Chapter 401 Let Lao Xia write a medical book
Because of the good physical condition of the Mo Dao soldiers and special forces, some of them only had a slight fever after vaccination, which was not a serious problem and did not even affect their patrols.
After Xia Wuqie personally checked and determined that there was no danger to his life, he was completely convinced and officially launched the vaccination program.
In order to prevent the people from going out, they came to serve the villagers, and everyone had to be vaccinated.
They had already found out before that there were nearly 500 people infected with smallpox, including men, women, old and young, and now they were all placed in the isolation area.
The quarantine area is in an open space, far away from the population and businesses. The people in the blacksmith shop were also carried out. Qin An sent people to disinfect the blacksmith shop both inside and outside.
These sick people have all been vaccinated with cowpox. Whether it is useful or not, we will wait for the vaccination first.
The entire smallpox epidemic prevention process was carried out in an orderly manner because of Qin An's suggestion. Within seven days, the entire village, men, women, old and young, were vaccinated with cowpox.
I don’t know if it’s because they haven’t used antibiotics, or if their physiques are better than those of today’s people. Basically, people who have been vaccinated with cowpox don’t have high fevers, and very few have mild fevers.
This gave Xia Wuji hope to deal with smallpox. As long as every child born in the future was vaccinated with cowpox, smallpox would not be able to cause any harm to Daqin.
Just when Xia Wuji was getting more and more excited as he thought about it, Qin An came.
"Lao Xia, it's been seven days, how is the village?" Qin An asked anxiously.
When Xia Wuji saw Qin An, he warmly invited him to sit down first. After Qin An sat down, he began to say: "Sir, you have saved the lives of tens of thousands of people in the village.
If you hadn't come up with the method of vaccination, I'm afraid everyone in the village would have been infected with smallpox. "
"You mean everyone has been vaccinated with cowpox now and everything is fine?"
"It's okay." Xia Wuji said, "Everyone who has not been infected with smallpox has been vaccinated with cowpox. They will never be afraid of smallpox again in their lives."
"That's good." Qin An put down the stone in his heart, "By the way, what about those people who got smallpox? How are they doing?"
Xia Wuji's face suddenly darkened and he said slowly: "Many people have died. Although they were sent out according to the teacher's wishes and their bodies were replenished, many people still could not withstand the invasion of smallpox and eventually died of the disease. ”
Hearing this, Qin An sighed and said: "Hey, there is nothing we can do about it. In the past two thousand years, more than just these people in China have died at the hands of the plague.
Even now, many people still die from the plague or other diseases. We just have to do what we can.
Lao Xia, as a doctor, have you ever thought about passing on your medical skills? "
"Of course I have thought about it. Otherwise, why would I recruit so many disciples?" Xia Wuji said, "Every doctor, especially someone like me who has some achievements in medical skills, wants to recruit a good disciple and pass on all the mantles. give him."
Qin An asked: "Is this your hope?"
"Why, doesn't this hope work?" Xia Wuji said.
"It's not impossible, but it's too narrow-minded." Qin An said, "What if you can't recruit disciples like you? Are some of your medical skills cut off from the inheritance?"
"Then what should I do?" Xia Wuji asked, "Since my apprentice can't learn well, it's useless for me to force him."
Qin An nodded and said: "Who told you to force yourself? You can split your medical skills. People have heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys, and you can let each of your disciples learn one.
Those who study liver healing should keep studying the liver, and those studying heart disease should keep studying the heart. If they have extra time and want to study other things, that's fine.
As long as he has the ability, he can learn them all if he wants.
In addition, traditional Chinese medicine also has acupuncture, cupping, massage and bone-setting and other techniques. It is not necessary for one person to learn all of these. You can let people with different talents learn the medical skills that are suitable for them.
Of course, they still need to know some common sense. "
"Wonderful, wonderful." Xia Wuji said excitedly, "Listening to your words is better than reading ten years of books, no, a hundred years of books.
I have always wanted to find a capable disciple and pass on all my medical skills to him, but so far, I have accepted many disciples, and only three of them are satisfied, but none of these three can fully inherit my mantle. . "
Qin An nodded and said: "It's not difficult to imagine, otherwise Chinese medicine wouldn't be in such decline.
Many good medical skills have disappeared because they have not been passed down to the next generation. Not just formulas, but also herbs, acupuncture techniques, massage techniques, etc.
I know you are an old Chinese medicine doctor who has inherited two thousand years of Chinese medicine skills here.
Take your medical skills outside, I'm afraid every skill and every prescription you have is a treasure of China.
For this reason, I hope you can write down what you have learned throughout your life in this medical book. "
"Writing a medical book?"
Qin An nodded and said, "Write a medical book. Once the medical book is written, I will print it for you and then sell it to all over the world, so that all countries in the world will pay attention to my Chinese medical skills."
"But my medical master is Bian Que. If I pass on my medical skills without my master's permission, I'm afraid I will be accused of being unfilial." Xia Wuji said worriedly.
Qin An sighed and said: "It turns out that you, Lao Xia, are also such a narrow-minded person. It is because of your thinking that Chinese medicine has disappeared, so many good prescriptions have disappeared.
In the Ming Dynasty, there was a doctor named Li Shizhen who spent his whole life writing a medical book called "Compendium of Materia Medica".
Do you know why he wrote it? Do you know what difficulties he faced at that time?
And how much contribution does this "Compendium of Materia Medica" have to Chinese medicine? "
"Compendium of Materia Medica? Why have I never heard of it?" Xia Wuji asked.
"He hasn't left here for two thousand years, how could you know." Qin An said, "Whether you want to write or not.
If you want to write it, I will give you an idea on how to write it.
If I don't want to write, I'll find someone else to write. Anyway, it's hard to find the essence of Chinese medical skills, and I don't want to lose it. "
Xia Wuji struggled countless times in his heart, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Write, I will write. Even if the ancestors blame me, I will write, not for myself, but for the inheritance of the ancestors' medical skills. It is to let Chinese medical skills be passed down forever.”
"You have courage." Qin An gave Xia Wuji a thumbs up, "I admire him for sacrificing his personal integrity for the sake of justice.
Believe me, after you go out, you will be remembered by the country, the whole world, and your name will be remembered in future history books.
You must know that there are not many doctors who are recorded in history books because of their superb medical skills, and you will be one of them. "
Some people died, but not completely...
