Chapter 87 The future of medicine
He Xi said: "Mr. Dai, you also know the following situation. In many remote mountainous areas, and even in the military, the number of doctors is scarce. In some places, there are only one or two doctors in a county, which is not enough. What we need is a large number of qualified doctors. Doctor. I can understand Mr. Dai’s desire to train disciples. But compared to the fact that most people have no hope of treatment, I would rather have some doctors who can cure most headaches and brain fever. "
"Let the people have the most basic treatment."
Dai Yuanli sighed and said: "I understand Master He's thoughts. But I dare say that the more you live in a place like this, you won't be treated for a headache or fever. If you just come to see it, it will be serious. You will not become a doctor until you are at the critical moment of life and death. The door."
He Xi was speechless for a moment.
Indeed, don’t underestimate the wisdom of working people. Many people have their own methods to treat some diseases. Even if you are in good health, you can fight it off. Only seek medical treatment when the condition is irreversibly severe.
In this situation, if the doctor is not good enough, he is not treating a doctor, but committing murder.
Many people carry it at home, but they may not be able to carry it through. But under the hands of quack doctors, it was a narrow escape from death.
Dai Yuanli suddenly smiled bitterly and said: "I usually look down on people using dead prescriptions on living patients. I just didn't expect that I would have to do such a thing. In fact, it only takes one year to train the patients you want. The pharmacological basis of prescriptions has already been It’s done. Just let him know which medicine is suitable for which disease. It’s just that the human body is ever-changing and cannot be dealt with by one medicine. I don’t know if I am a hero or a sinner by doing this.”
Every prescription is the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancients.
For many relatively mild illnesses, there is nothing wrong with taking the prescribed medicine. Because the body has a tolerance for error. Be healthy and able to carry it. Withstand the torment. There were some errors in the dosage of the medicine, but it was actually not a big deal, or there were any hidden dangers, which I didn’t know at the time.
But when the disease is serious, the prescription is just a guideline.
The doctor needs to choose the prescription and consider the dosage according to the patient's condition. This is still the simplest. If the patient has several diseases. That would be an even greater test for the doctor. Apart from priorities, we also need to consider the conflicting powers of medicines and the overcoming of yin and yang.
Ready-made prescriptions are simply not enough. It is necessary to combine several prescriptions based on the patient's condition, or simply create a new prescription.
This is the true path of medicine.
But if we follow He Xi's thinking, they are people who know how to use various prescriptions to treat diseases. Normal conditions are enough to save people, but there must be special circumstances among patients. In this case, it is very likely that the murderer was killed.
The difference between these doctors and the quacks in Dai Yuanli's eyes is that one is superstitious about ancient prescriptions and copies them without error, even changing a single punctuation mark. Another superstition is the prescription prepared by Dai Yuanli. Essentially, fifty paces versus a hundred paces.
The prescription is just that, and syndrome differentiation is even more of a problem.
Even the difference between traditional Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese medicine is here. Can determine the disease. Only then can you copy the prescription. In one year, you can only learn a little bit. If there is a mistake here, the prescription will be wrong and more people will be killed.
But Dai Yuanli still compromised.
Because he knows that it is simply impossible to provide everyone in the world with the best medical conditions. Having a doctor, even a mediocre one, is essentially better than waiting to die at home.
Nothing is perfect, only a last resort.
He Xi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I have drawn up a charter here. Mr. Dai can take a look at it. Is there anything you are dissatisfied with?"
After Dai Yuanli read it. He raised his eyes and glanced at He Xi. He didn't know that He Xi had come prepared. But even if he came prepared, Dai Yuanli didn't care anymore. What he cares about is medicine itself. On the contrary, he didn't care about some details, just how many years of basic study and how many years of working with the teacher. etc.
These are minutiae.
Dai Yuanli is concerned about two points. First, whether this kind of large-scale medical education is feasible and whether it can cultivate qualified doctors. He was not the kind of doctor who, in Dai Yuanli's opinion, was slightly better than a quack doctor. But it was the doctor who really caught his eye. Top players.
The reason is simple. In every era, a large number of basic doctors are very important. But big players are also very important. It can even be said that the latter is more important.
Because there are great doctors with similar level from generation to generation, the quality of these low-level doctors can be guaranteed.
Because there are no players from these big countries, how can we tell the strength of low-level doctors. Once you get it wrong, the problem will be even bigger.
In the past, great players learned it bit by bit from their masters. Just like Dai Yuanli, he is considered a genius in medicine. He studied medicine since he was literate and followed Zhu Danxi for more than ten years. Been an apprentice for more than ten years. After Zhu Danxi's death, he could prescribe independently. Even if Zhu Danxi had not left early and Dai Yuanli had the power to independently prescribe prescriptions, he would have to go back a few years.
Only when you are forty can you dare to set an example for others.
The time when he was truly considered to be on par with Master Nai was only in the past one or two years. Of course, perhaps Dai Yuanli's level has already been achieved, but the recognition came later.
The situation of most famous doctors is similar to that of Dai Yuanli. Even became famous later.
Second, whether what He Xi said can be realized, as for other places, it doesn't matter. He can solve it.
Generally speaking, few people find Dai Yuanli stumped by issues within the medical field. But in other aspects, he was not sure. After all, his profession is to heal people, not the country.
He thought about it and sighed in his heart: "Come on, what He Xi said is right. You can only know right or wrong after trying many things. If you are wrong, it is nothing more than an extra group of Dai Shi quack doctors in the world. But if it can succeed , it will be one step closer to being able to receive medical treatment for everyone in the world."
"There are so many quackery doctors in the world. A few more are not enough, and a few are not enough. It is nothing more than a loss of reputation. What does it mean to have a mere fame? If you succeed, you will open up a new path for the doctors in the world, and you will die without regrets."
"I am now the chief physician in the imperial court, and your Majesty trusts me. Naturally, I have to take some responsibilities for medicine."
Dai Yuanli said, "I'll go back and take a look at this. I'll give it to you after revising it."
He Xi breathed a sigh of relief. He saw that Dai Yuanli had agreed in principle. As long as he agreed in principle, it would be the best. The rest was just details. As long as the medical school he has in mind is built, he can naturally add personal goods to it. In particular, He Xi has designed a research-oriented medicine position in it, and is even planning to add treatments for smallpox and other diseases, as well as some proprietary Chinese medicines. These are projects that He Xi knows will definitely succeed.
As long as there is a successful start, people will continue to join. Transform traditional Chinese medicine into modern medicine.
At that time, the so-called Western medicine will be like witch doctors.
He Xi said: "Then it's all my fault, Mr. Dai."
Dai Yuanli said: "If you want it in your heart, it doesn't matter how hard it is."
Dai Yuanli really had what he wanted. After he returned, he revised it almost non-stop. Within a few days, the revised charter had been given to He Xi.
He Xi took a look and found that Dai Yuanli had not modified much in terms of the overall framework. For example, establishing a hospital open to the outside world, such as the academic system of a college. For example, research-based medicine and various projects. But in terms of details, there are a lot of additions.
very many. The contents of almost all the subjects of the six-year school system are filled in, and it even indicates that these traditional medical books have recently been further revised. There are also various details that He Xi could not imagine at all.
Moreover, the classwork is even more demanding. A must-have medical book. Starting from the Huangdi Neijing, all the way to the medical books of each of the four major families of Jin and Yuan Dynasties. There are two very simple words. pulse case. The so-called pulse cases are cases. It sounds simple, but He Xi doesn't know how much lies behind it. Come to think of it, Dai Yuanli had such strict requirements on his disciples, and what he was most worried about was training a group of quack doctors. Therefore, there must be many cases that these people want to see.
Another example is how to become a disciple of an imperial doctor after six years of schooling. When can we officially start teaching? And, the teaching staff needed for this medical school. etc.
It seemed that Dai Yuanli had thought of all the details.
He really worked hard.
