Chapter 14 The Ionian Medical Forum

It is said that it is an exchange, but in fact, it is mainly the doctor of Dionya who is telling it. The first day was a discussion of medical theories, and the various novel medical terms that came out of the mouths of those young Dionian doctors, not only unheard of, but also all kinds of unheard of unique medical theories and discoveries completely subverted what he had learned and experienced before, but also made him fall into contemplation, as if opening a window for him to see a new and broader world of medicine, how could he not be excited!

Nick Stratus didn't eat much dinner, and spent all his night thinking about what he had heard during the day, and he only hated himself for having such a bad memory that he couldn't memorize them all, so much so that he lay in bed and remembered what he had heard during the day, so that he didn't sleep well all night. But the next morning, he was in good spirits and rushed to the medical school with Stasipurs.

When they arrived at the gate of the Ionian Academy, hundreds of doctors were already waiting there, of course, they were not waiting for these two Crotone doctors, but waiting with great anticipation for the arrival of the Ionian Archon Davers.

At this time, Nick Stratus was no longer as radical as he had been before he came to Turiy, and through the previous day's study and conversations with other doctors, he had deeply understood the high status of Davers among the Dionian doctors, and even the Gentile doctors who had listened to his lectures spoke of him with respect, which made Nericstratus full of curiosity about Davers and waited quietly like other doctors.

It wasn't long before Davers arrived, accompanied by Phelps, the dean of the medical school, and a dozen or so bodyguards.

The doctors were in a commotion and wanted to catch up.

The guards immediately tried to stop them, but Davers told them back, but he smiled and took the initiative to meet them, and Stasikordas immediately asked the doctors to consciously follow the order.

Most of the Gentile doctors who had come to the forum last year were named and had a few words of pleasure to talk to them. The newcomers were introduced by Phelps and Staceikodas respectively, and Davers welcomed them with a smile.

"Clausus, I remember that your famous doctor from Metapontum, what wonderful speech did you bring this time?" Davers said with a smile to the doctor in front of him.

"Don't laugh, Lord Davers, how dare I call a famous doctor in front of you!" Clausus said humbly.

"In this sacred place, there are no adults, only doctors who save lives and scholars who practice medicine." Davers corrected with a smile: "Just call me Davers." ”

"Dai ...... Davers. Clausus bowed respectfully, and then added: "Coriopampas of Tarantum was unable to attend this forum for some reason, and I apologize for him, and I regret not being able to hear your wonderful speech!" ”

Davers's expression became a little helpless, and he sighed: "Although there have been some minor misunderstandings and conflicts between Dioonia and Tarantum in the past two years, this should not be an obstacle to academic exchanges......

After the peace agreement between Tarantum and Mesapi, their strength gradually recovered, and they began to be angry at Heraclia and Metapontum for breaking away from the Tarantum alliance, and of course they also hated Dionia, who had rescued them. However, now the powerful Dionian alliance can only make them swallow their breath, and the radical representative Diomiras, who was ambushed by the Maple coalition and almost annihilated by the Mae coalition army for taking the risk, was originally accused by the citizens' assembly and was almost expelled from the city-state, and had no future in the political arena, but in the past two years, he has cunningly complied with the voice of the people, repeatedly publicly criticized Dionia, condemned the council for being too soft on Dionia, and regained the support of the frustrated people, and was re-elected consul at the end of last autumn.

As a result, small frictions between Tarantum and Dionia began to become frequent. The Tarantum people repeatedly entered the territory of Metapontum for no apparent reason; When the fishing boats of Tarantum and Dionian met at sea, there were occasional incidents of scolding and fighting; Commodities stockpiled by Dionian merchant ships in the port of Tarantum were often lost and occasionally seized...... Wait a minute. Dionia's diplomatic envoys went to Tarantum many times to protest and consult, and once joked that 'I have not traveled to foreign countries as much in my life as I have been to Tarantum.' ’

But in general, the two sides have exercised restraint, after all, they are still allies. Tarantum is still under pressure from Mesapi and Puchetti and still needs the support of Dionia. It's just that the newly elected general is playing some tricks and tricks to vent the people's frustration and respond to the people's expectations of him. And Dionia, out of guilt for poaching Heraclia and Metapontum, opened his eyes and closed his eyes, trying to calm things down.

Davers sighed in his heart, and after greeting the doctors, the crowd surrounded him and entered the gate.

He had barely walked a distance when a man rushed out in front of him, and Martius was so startled that he was about to rush forward to stop him.

I heard the man shout excitedly: "Davers, it's done!" We've made it! The model design of the stone bridge over the Saraceno River, we have done it! Tested and there were no problems! ……”

It turned out to be Matticoris. Martius slowed down, but it also gave him a reminder, and he immediately ordered the guards to patrol around and stop any intruders.

At this time, Davers also looked happy: "This is really good! You give the stone bridge model and data to little Heraclit, and when I'm done here, I'll see your great work! ”

"And one more piece of good news! We've designed a new block of pulleys that allows the arms that lift heavy loads to rotate 360 degrees in place, and you should definitely check it out and give us some suggestions for improvement. Mattikoris continued.

Davers was even more pleased, and immediately made a commitment.

Today, Matticoris is not as unfamiliar as when he first arrived in Amendolara, and while doing research at the School of Mathematics, he also undertakes some of the management tasks. He said a few more words, and then hurried away.

"Who's that man?" Nick Stratus was curious about the tone in which he was talking to Davers.

"Matticoris, the vice president of the School of Mathematics, a crazy math genius!" Said a Dionian doctor.

"It's great that Dionia is finally starting to build the stone bridge!" A Heraclia doctor said happily that there are many rivers in Heraklia, and in the rainy season, the rivers swell so much that they almost become a country. Although they had asked Dionya to help them build a few wooden bridges, during the rainy season, most of the bridges were submerged in the water, and the people of Heraclia were very worried about the durability of the wooden bridges that had been repeatedly soaked in river water for a long time, and they were much more relieved to have a stone bridge.

The vice president of the School of Mathematics also asked the young consul for advice, and Nick Stratus, who had just been impressed by Davers's cordial greeting, was even more looking forward to his speech.

……………………………

Davers stood still in the pulpit, and below him were the doctors seated in their knots.

In their expectant eyes,Davers cleared his throat,Unhurriedly,"Since we have greeted each other at the gate of the school just now,I won't do the same thing here.。 ”

Doctors let out a chuckle, and every doctor who came on stage to talk to him introduced himself and greeted his peers, which has gradually become the norm in medical forums.

Davers smiled, stretched out his right hand, and clenched it into a fist in the air: "What do you say I hold in my hand?" ”

Nothing! Some people immediately had such thoughts.

Without waiting for them to reply, Davers said, "Air, it's all-pervasive air, that's how I gave it its name." Although it seems to be nothing, every human and every animal cannot live without it. If you don't believe it, you can cover your mouth and nose with a sackcloth to keep it out of the air, and soon you will suffocate to death.

We all know this, but why is the seemingly empty air so important to us? What is its relationship with our human body? Today, I will talk about this issue, hoping to arouse your thoughts. ”

As soon as Davers's voice fell, the doctors' eyes widened and their ears pricked up, and even Herps and Stacecodas, who were in the front row, leaned forward with excitement on their faces.

"In order for air to connect with the human body, it must first enter the human body. The entrance, everyone knows very well, it is our mouth and nose, where is the exit? Davers glanced at everyone: "Some people will say it's **, because there's fart." ”

There was another burst of laughter below.

"Of course not, and we can even say that the air that enters our mouths has little to do with the farts that come out." Davers said, leaning sideways over a wooden mannequin the size of a human being: "Thanks to the perseverance of the doctors of the medical school in their study of human anatomy, and the skill of the craftsmen of Turiyi, I will use this model to tell you about it." ”

In the Greek city-states of this era, physical desecration was illegal, and it was even possible to face capital charges. However, the search for truth prompted a small number of doctors, Hippocrates to risk their lives to quietly dissect corpses in order to solve their problems. But in Dionia, due to the high status of doctors, Herps was a member of the Senate, Dionya also established the Ministry of Health last year, and more importantly, with the support of the consul Davers, so the Senate specially legislated for "autopsy": medical schools can use unclaimed slave corpses or the corpses of unrecognized enemies on the battlefield for medical research, but each corpse must be registered with the Ministry of Health, and must not be dissected in public, and after use, it must be buried in a specified place in time to avoid causing plague...... Wait a minute.
