The days when I was an obstetrician and gynecologist in Chang'an

Chapter 959: Going on a business trip!
(Thanks to the melon family's cat foodie for voting for 9 monthly tickets.)
Unexpectedly, there was no chance to go to Guangzhou, but Li Sanniang had the opportunity to go to the border town in the Western Regions.

Although after the meeting of all nations, all the small nations and tribes surrounding the Tang Dynasty paid tribute and submitted to the Tang Dynasty;
However, those who are not of my race must have different hearts!

There are always minor frictions in border towns.

If there is a small-scale war, then people will be injured and doctors will be needed.

Many years ago, Li Dalang participated in a battle against the Eastern Turks and won, which gave the border town plenty of time to recuperate.

But in the past few years, even with the arrival of gunpowder, the Eastern Turks still joined forces with Tubo to take over the border towns of the Tang Dynasty, rob the Tang people in the border towns, and plunder their resources and population.

In this case, the war has to be fought, and there will always be troops stationed in the border town.

But unfortunately, the doctor in the border town who was familiar with Jin's injuries and had studied the skills of debridement and suturing with Li Sanniang in the Imperial Medical Bureau in Chang'an City had somehow contracted a disease and now could not even get out of bed.

Moreover, a small number of people in the local military camp had the same symptoms as the doctor's, which seemed to be signs of an epidemic!
Although there were many local military doctors and others who could diagnose and treat soldiers;
However, this doctor is the only one who can take charge of the overall situation.

He was sick, and even with the help of his colleagues, he was still a little stretched.

In this case, when the Imperial Medical Bureau in Chang'an received this urgent letter that traveled eight hundred miles, it had to appoint someone to take charge of the situation.

It would have been best to send the experienced Doctor Sun, but the problem is that Doctor Sun is now over fifty years old and is in his 50s. It is hard to say whether he can still make it after a bumpy journey of thousands of miles on horseback.

Even though Doctor Sun repeatedly emphasized to Wang Shuzheng at the meeting that he was in good health and could eat two bowls of rice at a meal, Wang Shuzheng did not want to send him on a long journey.

Li Sanniang realized at that moment that they were trying to point her out.

In the Imperial Medical Bureau, among those who can sit here and attend the meeting, except for Li Sanniang, who among them is not in his forties or fifties?
But she was still young in front of them.

Another small part of the reason is that she was the one who originally taught the debridement and suturing skills;
She can work as soon as she goes there!

A big part of the reason was that she had proposed at the court meeting before, that women's medical schools should be established in obstetrics and gynecology clinics throughout the Tang Dynasty, which bothered them.

Of course, another possible reason may be that her master, Doctor Liang, and her grandmaster, Doctor Gao, have both passed away. Wang Shuzheng and others no longer want to consider the face of those older people, so they want to transfer her out of Chang'an City, the center of power.

All in all, no matter how many excuses Li Sanniang found to refuse, in the end, this matter would still have to fall on her shoulders.

So, she stood up and bowed to Wang Shuzheng who was sitting at the top.

“I’ll go!
I am only thirty years old, in good health. I can ride a fast horse and travel two hundred miles a day. I can change horses but not people at each post station I pass through. I should be able to reach Shule in more than a month.

"It's just that," Wang Shuzheng swallowed his saliva, he knew that this was the condition that Li Sanniang wanted to negotiate.

"Shu Zheng, I need your approval to build another female medical school in Jiangnan!"

"Okay, okay.

Doctor Li cares about female doctors and has thought a lot about the medical field. I have seen it all.

Don't worry, when you come back from Shule, the office will definitely discuss the appropriate rules for your matter!"

Thus, it was decided that Li Sanniang would travel from Chang'an to Shule in three days.

The mission was urgent, so she went to the academy to pick up Luzhuer and brought her back to the Li family. After telling Li's father and mother, she said to Li's sister-in-law, "Dalang and Shengnan are in Shule. When I get there and have some free time, I can go find them and see how they are doing. Sister-in-law, when Daxiong and Erlang come back, ask them to write a letter so that I can bring it with me."

She turned around and said to Father Li: "This matter is urgent, we have to leave the day after tomorrow." Li Sanniang took out the certificate from Song Fuling's hand and said, "It has been stamped. If you want to leave, you can actually leave today.

It's inevitable that we will have to sleep in the open air during this journey, so please prepare some common medicines for me."

Father Li frowned and nodded. Before he could say anything to Li Sanniang, he heard a voice calling Li Sanniang from outside.

"Junior sister, junior sister?"

Senior Brother Shaoyang, wearing an official robe, ran into the main hall from outside. When he saw Li Sanniang, he said, "I will go with my junior sister!"

Li Sanniang had just opened her mouth and hadn't said anything when she heard Senior Brother Shaoyang say, "I've asked the director for permission, and he's approved it. He also gave me a note, saying that you can take the two of them with you, Junior Sister!"

“Then I’ll go too!

I will go with the master!"

Li Sanniang looked at Senior Brother Shaoyang, then turned to look at Song Fuling standing beside her. She was really overwhelmed.

After thinking for a while, she nodded to Senior Brother Shaoyang and agreed to go with him;
But facing Song Fuling who was full of expectation, Li Sanniang shook her head and said, "It's not that I won't take you with me. If we can take a leisurely ride in a carriage and take two or three months to get there, then I will take you with me.

But this time we have to travel very fast and arrive in a month at most. I don’t know if my body can handle it. How old are you?

If the foundation is damaged, I won't even have time to cry, wouldn't I be heartbroken?
You just listen to me and stay in Chang'an, and take care of the office, the obstetrics and gynecology clinic, and the home for me, my dear Dewdrop!
I leave everything in Chang'an to you!

Only if you keep an eye on it for me can I go to Shule with peace of mind."

After saying this, the whole family got busy.

Mother Li just took the purse and went out. She had been to Shule before. At this season, Shule was so hot during the day that one wanted to take off all the clothes, but at night one wanted to cover oneself with a thick quilt.

She had to hurry and buy a big cloak for Li Sanniang, which she could put in her bag during the day and take out at night to cover herself with to keep warm. If Li Sanniang couldn't return home this year, she could also use it during the winter in Shule!

There are also some smaller items that need to be taken into consideration. You have to bring a set of clothes. When riding a horse all the way, you have to prepare some underwear, shoes and socks.

The weather there is dry and windy, so you have to prepare a headscarf and hat.

The next day, Li Sanniang asked Senior Brother Shaoyang to give her acupuncture at home. Why?
This was done as a last resort in order to interfere with her menstrual cycle using acupuncture.

After calculation, her next menstrual period is on the way, although she will not have much reaction, unlike some women who experience severe pain during their menstrual period.

However, after all, it was my lower body that was bleeding, so the feeling of fatigue and soreness was still there.

This really exacerbated the pain for her as she had to walk 200 miles a day and change horses constantly.

Therefore, she wanted to use acupuncture to interfere with her menstrual cycle and postpone her period.
