Soon, Sun Simiao began to look over the symptoms behind him. At first, he kept frowning, but as he turned over, Sun Simiao's brows relaxed, and he began to meditate. There were many prescriptions in it, which gave him a lot of help. A great inspiration, but this is not the point. The point is that many diseases are described here, and these diseases, Sun Simiao has already discovered, are almost the most common diseases among ordinary people.
And all diseases have only one result, the right medicine.
It only describes the disease and how to deal with it, and gives prescriptions, drug treatments, or some massage techniques, or pinching acupoints and other methods to assist treatment, but there is no description of pathology, causes, etc. in the whole book. .
"Wang Sanlang, you said this thing was issued by His Highness the King of Qin for you ordinary people to buy? Everyone can buy it?" Sun Simiao asked thoughtfully.
"Everyone can buy it, but many people are reluctant to part with it. After all, there are so many words and it is quite expensive. In fact, many people bought my book together. The main reason is that I once learned some words from the Master and I can read and write. So everyone asked me to manage this book. If people in the village have any minor problems, they would ask me to treat them." Wang San said with some embarrassment.
Sun Simiao looked at Wang San strangely. This man who was burying garbage just now didn't look like a doctor or a doctor, but he took on this role.
"Did His Highness say anything?" Sun Simiao couldn't help but ask.
"His Royal Highness said that this book does not seek to train us into real doctors, but it can train us into doctors who can prescribe the right medicine, because for most people in our village, the diseases we encounter every day are in the book Almost all of them can be found. In this way, we can find the prescription as quickly as possible without having to go to the city to find a doctor or delay treatment due to inability to find a doctor."
"Zhenren Sun, you should have seen it. There are some illustrations about herbal medicines drawn for us. Now I know twenty or thirty kinds of commonly used herbal medicines. If the herbal medicines can be collected nearby, most people in our village will keep them. Come down here, or simply send it to me, so that if you have some minor illness, you don't have to go to the city to buy medicine." Wang San said sheepishly.
Sun Simiao's eyes became brighter and brighter. As a doctor, Sun Simiao should be extremely disgusted with this kind of quack medical behavior, because it can easily kill people and is extremely irresponsible.
However, as a person who travels from south to north, he can hardly say that he has visited the entire Central Plains, but at least he has traveled to most of the world, and has experienced the changes of two dynasties. Sun Simiao has seen too many sufferings in the world. There were too many tragedies in the world, and he understood very well that for most of the people at the bottom, many of them looked down on doctors and could not find doctors at all.
Many people go to some relatively well-respected elderly people in the village to treat their diseases using some unfounded methods or even unfounded methods, or even just by force.
It can be said that for most people, the doctor has almost never appeared in their minds.
Sun Simiao has lived for nearly a hundred years. He has seen too many ordinary people die just because of an ordinary cold. Countless children, babies, and the like died because of this.
For example, he once saw a common family whose two children died in infancy within a year. For the same reason, there was a rumor in their village that the umbilical cord wound of the child had to be boiled with boiling water to survive.
Both children died of burns and ulcers near the umbilical cord.
Later, Sun Simiao stayed in the village to solve this problem for the sake of the village. He stayed there for more than half a year before he figured out the whole story. It turned out that the midwife in another village was telling the midwife in this village that the scissors for cutting the umbilical cord or The knife needs to be scalded with boiling water to survive more easily.
But because of the dialect and the unclear expression of the midwife, this led to this result. When Sun Simiao went there, this matter had been circulating in the village for more than thirty years. If Sun Simiao hadn't been to the surrounding villages and asked the old people about this, maybe he wouldn't have known the whole story.
For these ordinary people, the words of these midwives and others are believed in.
Sun Simiao did not go to explain the matter to the village, but told them tactfully in another way that directly scalding the wound with boiling water was too much. Just scald the scissors and knife with boiling water, then cut the wound short, and then bandage it. .
From the beginning to the end, no one in the village knew the truth, and Sun Simiao, who knew the truth, had no right to criticize anyone because he knew that this was the life of the people at the bottom.
Therefore, compared with the probability of quack doctors curing people, Sun Simiao knew that people who knew nothing were likely to kill more people because of so-called "recipes", "myths" and other rumors. Therefore, if this book is written from the perspective of a ruler, , used to popularize knowledge to the people, so that the people have a certain ability to help themselves to a certain extent, and have a certain ability to treat the most common diseases, but it is more practical! It can save more people!
After getting enough time, Sun Simiao had enough vision to understand the real "purpose" of this book, but it was precisely because of this that Sun Simiao became a little curious about His Highness the King of Qin. What kind of smart young man was he who could think of such a thing? Smart approach! You know, since ancient times, no doctor or court has ever thought of such a clever method.
It seems ignorant and inconsistent with medical principles, but it is in line with the basic interests of the people and the most important condition for the people - practicality!
"You did a good job! There are no big problems with the prescriptions in this book. They are all good prescriptions! Study it carefully and remember these herbs. I think you can give them to at least these ten miles and eight villages. They treat 70% to 80% of diseases." Sun Simiao handed the book in his hand to the man named Wang San.
"Thank you Mr. Sun... I remembered it. I knew that His Highness could not deceive us poor people. His Highness is different from those rich and powerful families. He stands with us poor people." Wang San's face was filled with joy and caution. He took the book in Sun Simiao's hand and put it down carefully.
"Yes, I hope you can teach your children to treat diseases and save people in the future. Maybe your children will really become a good doctor in the future." Sun Simiao said with a smile.
"Well, thank you Sun Zhenren for your encouragement. I have already made a decision. Now that His Highness has given us a good life and a good salary, I have decided to let my son become literate next year. His Highness said that we may open a business nearby next year. Meng Xue, I have to let my son learn to read." Wang San nodded seriously.
