Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1058, further study

Daming Medical College.

"My lord, why are you here when you are free?"

Knowing that Liu Jin was coming, Zhang Zhigang, Li Anyuan and other leaders of Daming Medical College also hurried over.

"After the court, come and have a look if you have nothing to do."

Liu Jin wandered around the Daming Medical College very casually, and he could see many doctors who came to participate in the medical examination.

"How did the exam go?"

For this matter, Liu Jin is still very concerned. Medical technology is not only related to the national economy and people's livelihood, but also related to his own health. The improvement of Ming's medical technology is also a good thing for him. No one can guarantee that he will not get sick. .

"Everything is going very smoothly. All the prefectures and counties in Beizhili have almost passed the assessment. We have also accumulated a lot of experience. The next step is to start promoting it nationwide."

"However, the result of the test was very bad. It should be said that it was much worse than we imagined."

"Most of the doctors in the states and counties are very average, basically they can obtain the qualifications of junior doctors, and even we have found a lot of quack doctors, who can't even do the most basic medicine. One or two pills that were passed down worked for decades."

"No matter what the disease is, I always prescribe those kinds of pills, and other than that, I can't even get the pulse right."

As soon as Zhang Zhigang heard this, he immediately began to report to Liu Jin about the assessment this time.

The situation is very bad. The level of doctors in each state and county is very limited, and there are a lot of quack doctors. The key is that in many places, there are not many quack doctors, and there are too few talents in medical practice.

"This situation, I have already expected."

"So we still need to continuously expand the teaching scale of the medical school, recruit more students, and train more medical talents, so that we can improve the medical level of our Ming Dynasty."

"In addition, for these existing doctors, we also need to find ways to improve their medical skills. The easiest way is to re-educate them and continue their studies."

Liu Jin thought about it and nodded.

Regarding Daming's medical conditions and medical technology, Liu Jin actually already knew about the same.

In an era when the average life expectancy is only in their thirties, how can medical conditions be improved?
What's more, even the emperor's imperial doctor is very poor, let alone the doctor who treats the common people. There are a few barefoot doctors and quack doctors who are not bad. to see a doctor.

Of course, not only Daming, but the whole world is similar, and even in other parts of the world, medical technology and conditions are even worse.

American Indians believed in gods, and once a plague appeared, they sacrificed living people on a large scale; Europeans who were still affected by the darkness and ignorance of the Middle Ages felt that there was a devil in their bodies when they were sick, so they popularized bloodletting therapy; Kunlun slaves in Africa used Ritual means to pray for health.

The whole world is similar, but Daming still has a mature TCM treatment system, which is not bad.

"Don't worry, my lord, we are already organizing the re-education and re-study of the doctors who have passed the assessment, why don't we go and have a look together?"

Zhang Zhigang also quickly replied.

"Okay, let's go and have a look."

Liu Jin smiled and agreed.

In a classroom of Daming Medical College, more than [-] doctors from various prefectures and counties in Northern Zhili are attending lectures, including Gao Quan, Li Xiang, Zhang Xing and others from Pingshan County.

"Please look, everyone, this is the measuring instrument newly developed by our Daming Medical College. This is called a blood pressure meter, this is a stethoscope, and this is a thermometer"

"Everyone has these three things on their desks. Next, I will teach you how to use these three things and how to use them to diagnose diseases."

While listening to the teacher on the podium, Gao Quan also picked up the three things on his desk and began to study them carefully.

"Can these strange things be used to diagnose diseases?"

Beside Gao Quan, Zhang Xing glanced at the three things on the table with some indifference.

"That's right. Seeing a doctor is all about seeing and hearing. When did you rely on these heretics?"

Someone also followed suit.

Everyone is upset, really upset.

In particular, some people have not even obtained the qualifications of junior doctors, which means that they will not have the qualifications to practice medicine after they go back. The medical clinic will be closed, and their jobs will be lost. How can they feel better?
"Let me introduce this thermometer to you first. This thermometer is a triangle with many scales on it, and it contains mercury~"

"When using it, you need to clip it to your armpit for about half a stick of incense, and then take it out to observe the scale on it. You can try it first and put it under your armpit to measure your own. temperature."

Following the teacher's speech on the podium, Gao Quan also learned to clamp it under his armpit.

"Put it under the armpit. If you meet a woman for medical treatment, wouldn't that be indecent?"

Zhang Xing couldn't help shaking his head.

"Yeah, and that stethoscope. I've heard of it too. I heard that it's put on the chest to listen to the heartbeat. Isn't this a chance to eat tofu?"

Someone next to him said.

"The temperature of our human body is generally between 36 and 37 degrees. Degrees are the unit for calculating temperature. Once the human body is sick, the body temperature will be abnormal. Someone must have caught a cold. Generally, the body temperature will rise above 37 degrees, and in severe cases it will even exceed 38 degrees." degrees, even 39 degrees."

"Generally speaking, once the temperature exceeds 37, it is necessary to reduce the fever and reduce the temperature, especially for children. If the temperature is too high and lasts for too long, it is easy to damage the brain. If the problem exceeds 41 or 42 degrees, There is a good chance that he will die within a short period of time."

"Here I have a book published by our Daming Medical College, which introduces in detail the method of using the thermometer, as well as many corresponding cases and corresponding treatment methods."

"The book is free for everyone. After you go back, you can take a good look at it and study it."

"Next, I will tell you how to use this blood pressure meter. It is similar to a thermometer. The blood pressure in the human body is also within a certain range."

"If it is lower than this range, it may be hypotension, and the symptoms of hypotension are dizziness, fatigue and other phenomena."

"If it is higher than this range, it is high blood, and high blood is often prone to stroke, myocardial infarction and kidney disease."

The teacher on the podium constantly talked about the usage methods and relevant content of each new tool. At the same time, each tool is equipped with a book, explaining the usage method and related symptoms in detail.

These are all explored and summarized by professors and teachers of Daming Medical College after a large number of cases, forming a relatively complete system.

Below the podium, some doctors study very seriously and are very interested in these new things. Gaoquan is one of them. He listens to the lectures very seriously and devotes himself to learning.

But there are also some doctors who are very indifferent to this, and are even unwilling to see it, not willing to go, and even less willing to try. On the one hand, it is because of the resistance to new things, and on the other hand, it is because of the frequent assessment during this visit. The professional titles I obtained are too low, and many people will not even be able to open medical clinics in the future.

Naturally, he was very upset and unwilling to learn this set of things from Daming Medical College.

"Look, everyone, this is a microscope, which can be used to see very, very small things."

"The bacteria, viruses, etc. mentioned in the Daming Medical Journal were observed through a microscope."

"You may think, what does this microscope have to do with our practice of medicine?"

"The relationship is very important, because there are all kinds of bacteria, viruses, etc. in our daily life. Some bacteria and viruses are harmless to our human body, and some will cause various diseases once they enter our body. diseases of all kinds."

"..."

Gao Quan listened to the teacher's speech on the stage, holding a microscope in his hand, and began to operate according to the method taught.

I've heard of this thing before, and it was mentioned in the Ming Dynasty Medical Journal and the Ming Dynasty Morning Post that it can be magnified many times to observe the surrounding world.

This sounded a bit like fantasy in the past, but now I get a microscope and operate it myself, and I see a different world under the microscope, many very small things look like bugs Things appear in the eyes.

"This book records in detail the types of bacteria and viruses collected, discovered, and observed by our Daming Medical College. Some of the bacteria and viruses we have identified have been related to the disease, but there are still many diseases that we still have to deal with. Didn't figure it out."

"Everyone can take it back to have a look and learn about it. If any new bacteria and viruses are discovered, you can write to our Daming Medical College. We have related awards. Every time a new bacteria or virus is discovered, you can reward them. Ten taels of silver."

"If you can figure out the relevant characteristics or symptoms, etc., you can get a reward of one hundred taels of silver. Many students in our college study this thing every day when they have nothing to do. Some people even rely on this to get A reward of several thousand taels of silver."

Gao Quan's eyes lit up when he heard what the teacher on stage said.

This Daming Medical College is really different, and even set up a special bonus to reward new research and new discoveries, but combined with what he saw and heard here at Daming Medical College these days, he couldn't help it. Nod straight.

"Daming Medical College really deserves its reputation. The people here are not limited to the traditional medical field. They are constantly exploring and innovating, researching new medical tools, medical methods, researching diseases, researching pharmacology, and researching new drugs. No wonder their medical be famous all over the world.”
