Chapter 63: The Saint of Medicine and Love
"Divine doctor, you have practiced medicine for many years, have you compiled your years of medical experience and the nature of medicinal herbs into a book?" Ma Chao saw Hua Tuo's worries, deliberately avoided Hua Tuo's sentimentality, and asked about these seemingly irrelevant things.
Actually, there is no need for Hua Tuo to say, Ma Chao is also clear. In his lifetime, he made three major contributions to medicine. The first is the invention of the 'Five Birds Play', which imitates the movements and postures of tigers, deer, bears, apes, and birds, and is used to exercise the body to enhance physical fitness; The second is the invention of 'Ma Boiling San', which is used to perform laparotomy, which is the earliest general anesthesia in the history of world medicine; third, and the most regrettable thing, is that Hua Tuo once compiled his rich medical experience into a medical work, called "The Green Capsule Sutra", however, it is this medical work, but because it is not a person, it has not been handed down.
"Why did Childe ask such a question? The old man has a medical book, but I don't know what it has to do with saving the suffering of the common people? Hua Tuo couldn't keep up with Ma Chao's train of thought, but he still answered truthfully.
Well, as long as you sort out and write the "Green Capsule Book", then everything is easy to say. I'm afraid that at your age, you haven't written the "Green Capsule Book" yet, then I won't be able to continue to fool you. Ma Chao heard Hua Tuo's affirmative reply, nodded and continued: "Divine doctor, are you willing to carry forward your life's medical skills?" ”
"But Childe has a measurement? If medicine can be carried forward, the old man is willing to listen to the son's dispatch! "Hua Tuo is already worried about the world, how can he be the kind of person who cherishes himself? Hearing that Ma Chao was still willing to make a name for himself, he was naturally overjoyed, and looked forward to Ma Chao's words with an eager expression.
In this era, the astrology of medicine is not despised, although it has not yet fully reached the point of 'everything is inferior, only reading is high', but the world is based on reading and chanting scriptures, but few people are willing to learn these three teachings and nine streams of art, resulting in the development of medicine is very difficult. Therefore, when Hua Tuo heard that the sons of princes such as Ma Chao had a very high opinion of medicine, Hua Tuo couldn't believe it. Even though! Even if this womanizer is a whim, Hua Tuo is not willing to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
"The divine doctor is more polite, the original intention of Chao is to let the divine doctor stay in Fufeng for a longer period of time, and pass on the medical skills to the people in the army......" Ma Chao carefully conceived the plan in his heart, and continued after considering the words: "Chao wants to set up a medical team to specialize in the rear to treat injured soldiers. As a result, the casualty rate of our army will be greatly reduced. ”
The level of medical care in ancient times was quite low. In the absence of anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotics, most of the injured soldiers have a high mortality and disability rate due to the lack of timely assistance. Even, in critical moments, army generals will give orders to execute wounded soldiers, for no other reason than the fear that the wounded soldiers will drag down the entire army. Even, it was even more fearful that those wounded soldiers would bring a plague, which would cause the entire army to collapse without a fight.
Not to mention anything else, let's just say that Ma Chao fought on the grassland before, Ma Chao saw those injured Xiliang soldiers lying on the ground and wailing several times, and he could only break his wrist ruthlessly, abandon those loyal soldiers, and let these people die in the wolf's belly...... Every time he thought of this, Ma Chao's heart would drip blood, because he would never forget the painful and unwilling eyes of those soldiers before they died.
The reason why Hua Tuo was chosen as a military doctor was because in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, among the three major miracle doctors, only Hua Tuo was the best at surgery, and what he needed most in the battlefield was the medical skills that could successfully perform surgical treatment. Choosing Huatuo can be described as the right medicine! Of course, the main reason is that the other two miracle doctors, one is in Changsha as a guard, and the other is in Lushan to open a lecture hall, Ma Chao is beyond the reach of the whip, so he has no choice at all......
"Medic?" Hua Tuo immediately understood what Ma Chao meant, but it was just like this, but it was too far from Hua Tuo's idea, and he couldn't help but feel a little lost.
"Well, yes, it's a military doctor, because I'm a general first, so naturally the survival rate of the army is the first priority. But ......" Ma Chao saw Hua Tuo's loss, and after hanging his appetite for a while, he continued: "But I am also the eldest son of General Pingxi of Fufeng County, and I will naturally care about the lives and health of the people of Fufeng County. As far as I know, Fufeng County now has a lot of assets, and I am planning to suggest that my father open a medical center for those poor children to learn medicine for free. In addition, the county guard opened a medical center to diagnose and treat diseases for the people of Fufu County. ”
According to Ma Chao's assumption, this medical skill can definitely not be in a non-embarrassing position all the time, it must be promoted, it must be promoted, compared with those four books and five classics, medical skills are more practical. Although it was a little difficult to get started, Ma Chao believed that if he vigorously built a medical hall for those who have the heart of a doctor to come to learn the arts, then a group of excellent doctors will definitely be cultivated. With the increase of these medical practitioners, it will gradually change the cognition of the whole society and change the impression of medical skills in people's minds.
In short, what can be solved with money, Ma Chao thinks that it is not a problem, who makes him lack everything now, that is, he is not short of money?
"Is what Childe said true?" Hua Tuo is not a fool, he naturally knows what kind of development peak his medical skills will get in this way. As a result, the eyes he looked at Ma Chao were also a little eager.
"Naturally, it's true, it's just that in this way, I'm afraid I'll have to bother the divine doctor to spend some more time in Fufeng County." Ma Chao's plan succeeded, although he didn't smile like a fox who stole a chicken, but there was also that cunning light in his eyes.
"It doesn't matter, it's okay, the priorities, which is more important, the old decay can still be distinguished. Not only that, but the old man also has a few unscrupulous apprentices, and they can all be summoned to help the wind......" Hua Tuo looked excited, and felt that he had been practicing medicine for many years, and finally found the master who knew the goods, and he couldn't wait to start working now.
And Ma Chao was even more happy, listening to Hua Tuo's meaning, he wanted to build Fufeng County into a medical base. Spread it like this, the people of the Han Dynasty and Kyushu are afraid that they will be impressed by Fufeng County.
After having this agreement, Hua Tuo carefully checked Ma Chao's body, and after confirming that it was indeed okay, he also earnestly instructed Ma Chao to do some taboo things during the recuperation period, and then he was reluctant to leave.
When he walked to the door, Hua Tuo seemed to hesitate, and after making a difficult decision, he turned back and said:
"Young master, with your dragon and phoenix posture and handsome appearance, if you want to capture the hearts of beauties, you don't have to be strong, just grab the hearts of beauties, and you will make the beauties happy. Belch... The old man has walked the rivers and lakes for many years, but he also has some experience, if the young master does not give up, you might as well listen to it? ”
When Ma Chao heard this, he was stunned: This old man turned out to regard himself as the bully who went to the street to rob the people's daughters! However, what I didn't expect was that this old man was not only a 'medical saint', but also a 'love saint'!
