Chapter 2484 The Surgeon's Past and Present
"Whether you can live or not depends on your luck. Many people can't stand it." Su Yun said, "How else would bloodletting therapy be abolished?"
As he said that, a very strong sarcasm appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said, "Boss, do you know who our patriarch is?"
"Don't talk nonsense, if you say Bian Que and Hua Tuo, I'll admit it, but if you say it's a barber, I won't admit it." Zheng Ren looked at the medical records and said absent-mindedly.
How did you get involved with the barber? Tang Haitao's mind is always on the barber shop near his home. Every time he goes to get a haircut by himself, Mr. Tony tries to apply for a card by himself.
And now that haircuts are getting more and more expensive, my son cuts his own hair by himself. After all, I have been in neurosurgery before, so the cut is not good but it is not bad. Isn't it just skin preparation, what's the problem?
"Mr. Tang, Western medicine used to pay attention to bloodletting therapy, and monks from the church did it. It's a long story, and there are many strange stories in it. I have time to tell you." Su Yun said with a smile: "Later Pope Alexander III in the twelfth century entrusted this glorious and sacred mission to the people."
"..."
Tang Haitao was taken aback by what Su Yun said.
"Do you have any impression of the rotating three-color pillars in front of the barber shop?"
"Yes." Tang Haitao said blankly.
"Red refers to arterial blood. Blue refers to venous blood. White is the background color, so don't worry about it." Su Yundao, "At that time, the master who shaved his head was a part-time doctor. Do you think our doctors have a high status? I am the first Express dissatisfaction. Saying that we are in the service industry, we really have no way to compete with others.”
There was almost infinite sarcasm in Su Yun's tone of voice, and he kept slandering the hospital's emphasis on service.
"Speak well, don't be eccentric." Zheng Ren flipped through a page of medical records, and said in a deep voice, "But you are right. It is wrong to classify a high-tech industry as a service industry."
"You're right if you're wrong? Teacher Tu Youyou is not even an academician, you have too many yarns. A Nobel Prize is great? If you have the ability, you can get another one." Su Yun yelled.
Tang Haitao is sweating profusely, and if he has the ability to win another Nobel Prize; and Mr. Tu is not even an academician...he dares to answer neither of these two topics.
"I'm just a clinician, just treat the disease and save the patient. The unconscious behavior of the group will correct many mistakes after a few years."
"It's also possible to go further and further away." Su Yun argued.
When Tang Haitao heard that the two were arguing, he was anxious, and immediately said with a smile: "Boss Zheng, brother Yun, what happened to the shaving master?"
"Huh? You haven't forgotten." Su Yun raised his head, looked at Tang Haitao, and asked, "Is it important to shave your head, or is it important that you sit here and not necessarily be killed someday?"
"..."
"Speak well." Zheng Ren said, "Mr. Tang, barbers have developed a whole set of bloodletting procedures and tools. The blade for cutting blood vessels is called "Lancet". The famous British medical journal "Lancet" comes from bloodletting. blades."
"Boss, the lancet you use is supposed to shave people's heads." Su Yun said in a strange mood for some reason.
"Edward IV founded the first barbers' union in 1462, granting union members the right to cut hair and perform surgery in London."
Tang Haitao really didn't expect that the originator of the surgeon was a barber. No wonder Boss Zheng said that.
"But then there was a group of radical surgeons, those who went to the cemetery to dig up the dead and study the anatomical structure of the human body. To put it more seriously, they were called black wizards at that time." Zheng Ren said, "They firmly despised barbers Surgeon, the two groups are having a fight."
Tang Haitao was speechless.
"After 200 years of competition and many deaths, barbers stopped performing surgery."
"I didn't expect foreigners to be so ignorant back then." Tang Haitao murmured.
"If it wasn't for the alchemists who accidentally discovered the reverberatory furnace, which triggered a series of reactions and led to the industrial revolution, they would be a group of barbarians." Su Yun said contemptuously.
"It's about the same. The bloodletting therapy of Western medicine is different from the bloodletting therapy of acupuncture and moxibustion in Chinese medicine. It's very nonsense." Zheng Ren said: "Bleeding therapy...Declaration of Independence, you know."
Tang Haitao really didn't know why he talked about bloodletting and brought it up with the Declaration of Independence.
"Benjamin Rush is the only doctor in the Declaration of Independence. He knows bloodletting." Zheng Ren laughed. "Washington was forced to die by bloodletting."
"Actually, Chinese medicine was much more reliable than Western medicine at that time." Su Yun said.
"Emperors generally didn't live long in ancient times, and human beings still need to improve." Zheng Ren said.
"The emperor died because of other things. After Jiajing succeeded to the throne, he would rather make alchemy and eat heavy metals than listen to the imperial doctor. The imperial doctor was killed by him three times. It has nothing to do with medical skills, it's all people's hearts. What you said makes no sense at all. I think Chinese medicine is more reliable than Western medicine, at least before the 18th century."
"Let's not talk about that, bloodletting, Washington felt sore throat. He used leeches first, then mylabris, but in the end it didn't work, so he put 2300ml of blood directly. It was this Benjamin Rush who did it."
"The results of it?"
"You're asking, who wouldn't die after injecting 2300ml of blood?" Su Yun said contemptuously.
"Later, there was a yellow fever outbreak. Benjamin Rush bled the patients and killed countless people. He was discovered by a reporter. Later, a Scottish military officer named Hamilton researched bloodletting therapy and experimented with sick soldiers. Discovery can only make soldiers die quickly, and it is of no use other than that."
"Originally, bloodletting is rare in our country. In traditional Chinese medicine, bloodletting is to find acupoints and put a few milliliters. But recently, various pseudosciences have begun to appear again, and it may not disappear. From hand-shaking therapy to now, They have always existed." Su Yun said.
"Well, the patient just now obviously had shallow knife marks all over his hands and ten fingers. And in the case of domestic violence, as long as the domestic violence party is sensible, he would not bring a knife to the hospital to provoke." Zheng Ren said naturally.
"He wanted to save people. He held the knife. He thought there were germs on the knife and wanted the doctor to check it. In fact, the patient had high blood pressure and cerebral hemorrhage... By the way, how much is the patient's cerebral hemorrhage?" Su Yun asked.
"40ml, already on stage."
"Well, it's good to go up." Zheng Ren said, "High blood pressure leads to dizziness, pain stimulation leads to further increase of blood pressure, and finally cerebral hemorrhage. The logic is very simple."
Tang Haitao was ashamed. It turned out that he occasionally saw Boss Zheng seeing patients, especially the group of patients who had food poisoning from eating pig thyroid gland by mistake. It was only after my own personal experience that I realized that both Boss Zheng and Brother Yun are really monstrous characters. No wonder they won the Nobel Prize.
