Medieval Reiki Revival

Chapter 6 Bloodletting Therapy
"Anyway, let's start teaching."

Dr. Crake coughed, and he led everyone into the basement, preparing to popularize basic knowledge for Ivan first.

The yellow iron door was rattled by everyone passing by, and the air in the corridor was even more filthy.

The old doctor Crake didn't care about working in this environment, he stroked the sages on the painting with his fingers.

"All of us who study medicine have the ideal of saving the world. For this, we need to be extremely grateful to the ancient philosophers and ancestors."

"It is because of their hard work generation after generation that we can enjoy the fruits of medicine and protect our health."

Crake motioned for Ivan to sit down, but Ivan didn't move. He didn't want to put his butt on that dirty piece of low-quality leather.

Ivan pretended to be very interested in the paintings on the wall: "These sages seem to be full of wisdom, and they look very similar, Mr. Krek, do you know who they are?"

After hearing this "submissive" question, the old doctor Crake was taken aback for a moment, and then fell into ecstasy.

teacher.

Yes, now I am also a noble teacher, just like the doctors respected by the Roman emperors.

The old doctor Crake was very proud, his messy eyebrows were raised high, and a brilliant chrysanthemum bloomed from the corner of his eyes.

"Mr. Crake?"

"Hmm."

The old man immediately returned to reality, and he suddenly realized that he should maintain his majesty in front of his new disciples.

The old doctor Crake quickly lowered his eyelids, and said in a persuasive tone: "The great man in the middle is the mentor of all our doctors-Hippocrates, he is a kind and compassionate Roman, and he is also a man with extraordinary abilities. wise philosopher."

"He discovered that the human body is composed of four humors: blood, mucus, yellow bile, and black bile."

"The proportions of the four body fluids in the human body are different, forming a bridge for the human body to resist the external environment. Once the balance of this bridge changes, the human body will suffer from various diseases."

He pursed his lips: "The mucus comes from the brain, which is where wisdom is born. It contains everything and creates everything. It is a water-based substance; while the yellow bile comes from the liver. It is connected to the breath of life and is a gas-like substance."

"Black bile comes from the stomach of human beings. It is an earthy substance. You can understand it as a blacksmith's furnace, and blood is fire."

In the narrow space, the first apprentice and the second apprentice listened fascinatedly.

Of course, the addiction of these people has nothing to do with Ivan.

Even if these two pairs of eyes of different sizes are full of longing for the front seat.

Ivan stood calmly, with no concern on his face.

At this time, not only did he not feel the happiness of seeing the truth for the first time, but the more the old doctor Kreck said, the more doubts and surprises accumulated in his heart.

Until this emotion filled Ivan's heart and fought with the life concepts of later generations, he could no longer maintain his aristocratic demeanor, and the muscles on his face twitched from time to time.

It can be seen that the old doctor Crake was really excited. He didn't notice Ivan's unsightly face at all. Instead, he showed the collected ancient books and hand-painted books one by one like a teacher.

This is an excellent learning opportunity for the apprentices, and the answers they have been asking for countless times are placed in front of everyone for free.

Between the silvery metal props and the idiosyncratic urns used to boil herbs, the yellowed paper bears the fallacies of history.

According to "Hippocrates", their mucus (from the brain) should be boiling.

All things are composed of four principles—water, fire, earth, and air.

Each of these four elements is an eternal and fixed "one" that cannot be transformed into each other; but their combination and separation produce changes and "many", forming all things in the world according to different proportions. "

People and external things have the same origin. When the roots that make up people touch the roots of the same kind that make up things, the senses of the human body will produce sensations.

"Through dissection and observation, His Excellency Hippocrates discovered that there is fluid inside the human body, which is exactly the four body fluids I mentioned earlier. Of course, this is a more complicated combination."

"Through bold experiments, our ancestors soon discovered that disease is not a local phenomenon, but a disorder of the balance of the four humors of blood, mucus, black bile, and yellow bile in the whole body."

Speaking of his field of expertise, the old doctor Crake had a very happy face.

"Bleeding therapy can be applied to almost any ailment, including bleeding and weakness, and it is also the preferred treatment for gout, arthritis, vertigo, epilepsy, depression, eye diseases and other serious diseases."

"I have a variety of methods to achieve bloodletting. This is a special lancet and scarifier for bloodletting. It can easily cut the patient's veins and let his blood flow abundantly and quickly into the copper vessel."

He picked up a ferocious thing that combined a blade and an iron box. The large and small dense sharp teeth were arranged like gears.

Just looking at these sharp knife edges, Ivan felt that only a lunatic would ignore the risks and let him do whatever he wanted.

He really felt that tabooing diseases and avoiding doctors these days was not a derogatory term at all, but was the best way to protect his own life.

"But this method is too rough. There are also leeches—the advantage of this bloodletting method is that it is not easy to cause scars, and it can also reduce inflammation of the wound."

"I and some other colleagues felt that this method was too slow. Fortunately, a wise man named Byron knew the doctor's plight and invented the long brass tube on his own initiative."

"However, although that guy's brain is smart, he himself is not very willing to draw blood. Because he did not actively cooperate with the treatment, he obviously only drew less than 10 pints of blood, and his intestinal diseases further aggravated. died."

Looking at the regrettable expression on his teacher's face, Ivan couldn't say anything.

At this moment, he actually felt a bit of regret. If he had known that this was the strength of the three major medical centers, he might as well have listened to his father's advice and concentrated on doing business.

You know, after Ivanke checked with many people, he specially selected the local medical center with the strongest medical skills.

now
Bloodletting to cure diseases! ?
Even if I have no medical knowledge, I know that blood and heart are the basis of human circulation.

Without blood, a person cannot supply nutrients to other tissues, let alone mobilize the energy of the whole body to support the immune system and fight against bacteria and viruses.

Ivan all guessed maliciously, whether that smart man named Byron had no serious illness at first, but was abruptly sucked to death by these medieval quack doctors.

And by comparing them in this way, you can probably know what the other two medical centers "Rasputin Medical Center" and "Tiangong Muju Mystery Institute" are like.

Perhaps because he sensed Ivan's doubts, the old doctor of Krek put on a straight face: "You stay here for the past two days to study the theoretical knowledge at ease, and when Sunday comes, your brother will naturally take you to practice it yourself. After a while, you will know how excellent bloodletting therapy is to treat diseases."
