Chapter 653: Imperial Physician Realm, Everyone Takes What They Need
Since ancient times, doctors, martial artists, or people in other professions have been divided into different levels.
Chinese medicine practitioners were not originally called doctors, but were called witches or wizards.
The level of science and technology at that time was extremely backward, and superstition and mythology were very strong.
When people get sick, they will ask the wizard for a bowl of magic water to cure the illness.
However, the wizards and witches at that time, apart from being able to perform shaman dances, were basically people in the ethnic tribe who had some knowledge of herbal medicine.
When someone asks them for talisman water to cure an illness, they will find some Chinese herbs according to the condition of the illness, boil them into a medicinal soup, and then give it to the patient to drink as talisman water.
After the patient recovers, he will naturally respect the wizard more.
There is a reason why the wizard has a high status in the tribe, even no lower than the chief.
Many people think that wizards can only play tricks, but this is actually a prejudice against wizards.
According to historical records, the earliest human medicine was created by wizards.
Including the legendary Yellow Emperor, the teacher who taught him medical knowledge was also a wizard.
It is said that Huangdi had a hundred teachers.
It is precisely because Huangdi took one hundred wizards as his teachers and humbly learned various medical knowledge from them that the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic came into being.
The medical skills levels that Li Quan knew about were entry-level, minor success, and master level.
The master level is equivalent to the chief physician level.
Going further up, it should be the expert level.
At present, in today's medical system, the highest level of medical skills is the expert level.
Li Quan decisively clicked on the upgrade.
After a period of dizziness and headache, his skills in diagnosis by observation and pulse diagnosis were both successfully improved.
Li Quan couldn't wait to check the attributes of the two upgraded medical skills.
【The art of diagnosis by observation, Imperial Physician Level 9.4%.】
By observing the qi and spirit, one can directly diagnose a potential disease. Combined with the pulse diagnosis and auscultation techniques at the level of an imperial physician, there is a certain chance of diagnosing a disease that has not yet occurred.
So cool.
A disease before it occurs means that when a healthy person stands in front of Li Quan, he can find out whether this person will get sick in the near future after diagnosis.
What disease will you get.
Then take preventive measures, or prescribe a medicine to eliminate the disease before it occurs.
This is the true pinnacle of a doctor.
This is somewhat similar to the law of interstellar civilization mentioned in "The Three-Body Problem". As long as the weak reveal their existence, they will be immediately eliminated by the advanced civilization.
This is true even if the weak pose no threat to higher civilizations.
It’s like when we find a mosquito in the room, our first thought is to kill it before it bites anyone.
Otherwise, if you wait until the mosquito bites you and leaves a big bump, and then slap it to death, the loss will be huge.
The same is true for treating illnesses.
If you wait until you get sick before seeking treatment, even if you are cured, your body will have suffered considerable damage.
If the disease can be eliminated before it occurs, the body will remain healthy.
【Pulse diagnosis, Imperial Physician Realm 8.6%.】
By examining the pulse, the location of subtle lesions can be diagnosed, and diseases that are about to occur can be diagnosed. With the help of the imperial physician-level visual diagnosis and auscultation diagnosis, there is a certain probability of diagnosing diseases that have not yet occurred.
Wow, the pulse diagnosis technique has indeed reached a higher level.
Now, Li Quan already has two diagnostic medical skills that can directly diagnose diseases of desire .
His diagnostic abilities had reached a new level.
He has truly reached the level of a master physician, something only imperial physicians in ancient times could achieve.
Many people may think that imperial doctors are not that good, or even rubbish, because in TV dramas, when the emperor, princess, queen, or concubine gets sick, the medicines prescribed by the imperial doctors are basically ineffective.
They only know how to prescribe some medicines to strengthen the body.
In fact, this is really unfair to the imperial doctors.
It’s not that their medical skills are bad, but that they are afraid of taking responsibility.
Serving the king is like serving a tiger.
If you are not careful and cautious, you won't even know how your head fell off.
There was once such an example, the first son of Emperor Kangxi fell ill. Because he was the first son, Emperor Kangxi must have loved him very much.
When the little prince was only two years old, he accidentally caught a cold.
It's actually just a minor illness.
Even in ancient times when medical technology was backward, minor illnesses such as colds could be quickly cured by simply boiling some ginger soup.
At that time, the little prince's condition was a little serious.
I had a runny nose, a fever, a cough, and vomiting. It was scary.
The people in the palace were in a panic.
The emperor summoned the imperial doctors into the palace and asked them to diagnose and prescribe medicine for the little prince.
The other imperial doctors were all very cunning.
Either he would say that his medical skills were mediocre and he couldn't cure the disease, or he would prescribe some mild medicine to strengthen the body and let the little prince slowly recover.
After taking the medicine, the little prince's condition showed no improvement.
Seeing that the patient's condition had not improved for many days, Emperor Kangxi became anxious.
He ordered to find a doctor with excellent medical skills outside the palace to treat the little prince, and promised that if the doctor could cure the little prince's illness, he would be rewarded with 100 taels of gold. If he was willing to serve as an official in the court, he could be promoted to the fifth rank.
There will always be brave men when there is a big reward.
A doctor, who was only 31 years old , took down the imperial edict and expressed his willingness to enter the palace to treat the little prince.
This young doctor was named Wen Zhongping. He was very famous in the local area and had cured many difficult and complicated diseases.
After he entered the palace to diagnose the little prince, he found that the little prince was just suffering from a cold.
It wasn't particularly serious, but the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctors was too mild, and a minor illness that could be cured with just one dose of medicine was dragged on and never cured.
Wen Zhongping was also young and frivolous, and did not know the power of the palace.
He made a bold statement on the spot, saying that he only needed one dose of medicine to cure the little prince.
It was also a subtle mockery of the incompetent imperial doctors, calling them a bunch of quacks.
Emperor Kangxi was naturally pleased to hear that the doctor was confident that he could cure the little prince's illness, which had been under treatment for many days. He asked Wen Zhongping to prescribe medicine.
First, he asked a young eunuch to drink it, and then found that it was harmless, so he gave it to the little prince.
Of course, after the little prince took the medicine, Wen Zhongping would definitely not be allowed to leave the palace.
Served with delicious food and drinks.
Why?
The emperor is not stupid. There are too many people who want to kill the prince.
If there is something wrong with the medicine prescribed by this doctor, or if the medicine is ineffective, he must not be let off easily.
That night, the little prince was sweating profusely and crying incessantly.
The palace maids who were taking care of the little prince were so frightened that they reported the matter to the imperial concubine overnight.
When the imperial concubine came over, she saw that the little prince was crying terribly and his face was red. She was also afraid that something had happened, so she asked someone to report to Emperor Kangxi and asked the imperial doctor to come overnight for diagnosis.
After Emperor Kangxi came over, the little prince's crying gradually became weaker, and he looked like he was in his last moments of life and would die soon.
The imperial concubine was extremely sad to see how her son had been treated by the doctor invited from outside.
He knelt on the ground and cursed Wen Zhongping sadly.
Emperor Kangxi was also furious.
Without saying a word, he ordered the eunuchs around him with a dark face, "Take that doctor out and execute him immediately."
Poor Wen Zhongping was full and still dreaming that he could get promoted and make a fortune after the little prince's condition improved tomorrow.
As a result, several royal guards arrived.
A cold-faced, beardless old eunuch with a gloomy face ordered the imperial guards to drag him out of the Meridian Gate and behead him.
Upon hearing this, Wen Zhongping was frightened out of his wits.
He immediately cried out his injustice.
But who are the people in the palace?
Who cares if you cry out for injustice?
No one cared. They just followed orders.
Even if you kill the wrong person, you are not responsible.
Because this is an order from the emperor.
If you don't kill Wen Zhongping, you will be guilty.
So, several imperial guards dragged Wen Zhongping outside the Meridian Gate and cut off his head with swords.
The old eunuch who supervised the execution saw the man being killed with his own eyes, and then he wrote back to the emperor.
After Wen Zhongping was killed, imperial doctors were invited into the palace one after another.
When they passed the Meridian Gate, they saw Wen Zhongping's body being separated and shook their heads and sighed.
This young man is too ignorant. Is it so easy to be warm in the palace?
He had only been in the palace for less than a day, but he ended up with his head and body separated from his family.
The imperial doctors were extremely cautious and went to the East Palace where the little prince lived.
The emperor asked them to diagnose and give first aid to the little prince.
After they checked, they immediately found that the little prince was not seriously injured. He just made enough noise and fell asleep.
At this time, if they were asked to prescribe medicine for the little prince, he would definitely refuse to do so.
Otherwise, they might be the next to be beheaded.
There was a cunning old imperial physician who suggested that the emperor ask the palace maids to take good care of the little prince. Maybe there would be a turn for the better tomorrow.
Sure enough, the little prince woke up early the next morning.
Then he said he was hungry and ate a large bowl of lean meat porridge and a few snacks.
He looks much better than yesterday.
How does this look like someone who is going to die young?
It is clearly a sign that the serious illness will be cured.
After another day, the little prince not only returned to normal eating habits, but also became lively and cute again.
At this point, no matter how stupid Emperor Kangxi was, he knew that he had killed the wrong person.
But in that era when imperial power was supreme, how could the emperor do anything wrong? The emperor could never be wrong.
The eunuch who always carries the emperor around is very good at guessing his intentions.
I know that Emperor Kangxi must have felt some regret in his heart at this time.
Moreover, even if they killed the wrong person, they couldn’t tell anyone.
The chief eunuch thought of a safe way. He announced to the public that Wen Zhongping had played with the little prince's life in order to gain merit, and had prescribed a random medicine, which almost caused the little prince's death.
Fortunately, the little prince was protected by the dragon's luck, so he was able to escape danger safely.
The current emperor is merciful. Although he has executed Wen Zhongping, he still rewarded him with 100 taels of silver and ten acres of good farmland, considering that he has an elderly mother, a wife and children to support.
In this way, the emperor's wisdom and kindness were demonstrated, and the incident of killing the wrong person was well covered up.
Although the above is just a short historical story, it also shows why the imperial doctors only dared to prescribe some mild medicines to strengthen the body, but did not dare to prescribe strong medicines that could quickly cure the disease.
Because the lives of royal family are too noble.
If things go wrong, the imperial physician can be beheaded.
At that time, any imperial physician in the palace could beat anyone and easily crush many so-called miracle doctors and famous doctors.
Li Quan now has two medical skills that have reached the level of imperial physician. His medical skills have also skyrocketed, directly leaping to the expert level.
However, modern medicine is divided into three parts.
Diagnostic, pharmacological, and surgical capabilities.
Li Quan's current medical skills are only at the level of imperial physicians in terms of diagnostics. The other two aspects of his medical skills still need to be improved.
His surgical skills have now reached the master level.
However, there is still a long way to go before reaching the level of imperial physician.
After all, performing one operation only increases the experience value by about 0.1%. If you want to be promoted to the level of imperial physician, you need to perform more than one thousand operations.
This takes time to accumulate.
Li Quan's pharmacology level is also currently at the master level.
This is because of the medicine chess set, which allows his pharmacology level to continue to improve.
His pharmacology and medical skills mainly include two aspects.
One is the general discussion on the dialectical method of pharmacology and the meridians of medicinal properties.
These two medical skills are currently being steadily improved. If you want to be promoted to the level of imperial physician, it should be possible in another one or two years.
After all, he would take time out almost every day to treat patients that other departments could not handle.
Those are difficult and complicated cases.
Most of them require medication.
"President Li, President Li..."
Director Fu saw that Li Quan didn't respond for a long time and kept calling out to him.
"Oh, sorry, I was just thinking about what medicine to use to treat these three golden monkeys, so I didn't hear you talking." Li Quan said apologetically.
"How about this, I'll write a prescription, and you send someone to our Huier Hospital to get the medicine immediately. Then just feed the medicine to the three golden monkeys according to the doctor's instructions. It would be best if the other ordinary monkeys also use the medicine. If they refuse to take it, you can feed it directly through a tube."
Li Quan has learned two medical skills: differentiation of febrile and febrile diseases and treatment of epidemic diseases.
It is not difficult for him to prescribe medicine for these monkeys.
…
Director Fu immediately followed Li Quan to Huier Hospital, bought more medicine, and went back to boil it and feed it to the monkey.
Two days later, Director Fu called Li Quan.
"President Li, thank you very much for helping me through a major crisis. After the three golden monkeys were fed the Chinese medicine you prescribed, their condition improved day by day. They needed to be fed yesterday, but today they can drink some water on their own. In addition, there are no more deaths among the ordinary macaques. Fortunately, you reminded them in time, because after you left, many of the macaques stopped eating."
Director Fu made this call specifically to thank Li Quan.
"Haha, Director Fu is too polite. Those monkeys are protected animals of the country. It is my honor to be able to cure them and make a small contribution to the country."
Li Quan is still waiting to find Director Fu to buy land.
Although Director Fu does not have complete control over the land of the old zoo.
But with Director Fu as the go-between, things will be much easier.
Li Quan helped Director Fu overcome the crisis this time, and actually also helped the zoo's higher-level management units avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Otherwise, if accountability is really pursued, it will not be just Director Fu who will be in trouble.
"President Li, I wonder if you are free this evening? I would like to invite you and Vice President Min to have a simple meal to thank you." Director Fu extended the invitation.
