Chapter 10 Evil Prescription: Sprinkle Salt on Wounds
Chapter 10 Evil Prescription: Sprinkle ‘Salt’ on the Wound
Following the order from the Imperial Physician Cheng Qian Yi, the annual examination of the Imperial Physician Bureau began.
This time, the Imperial Medical Bureau learned from the lessons learned from the last annual examination and no longer directly accepted patients’ on-the-spot diagnosis. Instead, they wrote out their conditions in advance to avoid the embarrassing phenomenon of infertile patients coming for treatment.
All the doctors who can enter the Imperial Medical Bureau have a certain foundation. Even Su Dun has become a doctor after a long illness, and he quickly wrote a medical prescription that satisfied the Chief Physician.
In the end, there were only two people left in the examination room, one was Yang Jie, the elder brother of the Imperial Medical Bureau, and the other was Fan Zheng, who had been quite controversial recently.
Imperial Physician Qian Yi looked at the two of them and took a deep breath and said, "Forget about the last annual exam, this time, I want to see real medicine on the prescription, medicine that can cure illnesses and save lives."
Although Fan Zheng's last prescription was correct, divorce between husband and wife is not the same medicine. It is not unreasonable for the imperial medical bureau to get excited and want to get rid of Fan Zheng.
"Students understand!" they both said in unison.
Yang Jie stepped forward and took the lead in drawing a case, and Fan Zheng followed closely and drew his own test paper.
Yang Jie looked at his test paper and couldn't help but frown. What he drew was a case of stomach disease. As we all know, stomach disease is extremely difficult to deal with.
Yang Jie thought for a long time, and finally he had an idea and solemnly wrote down the prescription - Fuzi Lizhong Pills.
"Okay, Fuzi Lizhong Pills are made from concentrated aconite, ginseng, atractylodes, dried ginger, licorice and other herbs. This recipe is wonderful, in line with medical theory, and has extremely wide uses. It will definitely become a classic prescription in the future and treat countless people.
"Qian Yi, the imperial physician, was full of praise. In his opinion, Yang Jie was able to creatively write Fuzi Lizhong Pills, which was a well-deserved top spot in the annual examination, and was enough to be recommended as a Hanlin medical officer.
Fan Zheng nodded slightly, even in future generations, Lizhong Pills would still be a rare good medicine.
Yang Jie glanced at Fan Zheng proudly and sneered in his heart, "What kind of healing skills are there for thousands of people? His prescription can become a classic prescription and be passed down, and it can heal countless people. This is the real skill of healing thousands of people."
"Chief Physician, this is the student's medical prescription!" Fan Zheng ignored Yang Jie and handed the written prescription to Qian Yi!
The imperial doctor nodded. He knew that Fan Zhengchang was a case of trauma.
"Although external injuries are easy to treat, they are extremely versatile and will be needed in many places in the future." The imperial physician casually mentioned something and picked up Fan Zheng's medical prescription.
Traumatic injuries are relatively easy to treat. All you need to do is clean the wound and take some heat-clearing and detoxifying decoction. As long as Fan Zheng answers almost the same questions, he will let Fan Zheng pass the annual examination and quickly remove this disaster star from the Imperial Medical Bureau.
However, when he read Fan Zheng's medical prescription, he couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart. There was only one word on Fan Zheng's medical prescription - wine!
"You actually let an injured person drink?" the imperial doctor said angrily. The last time the imperial medical bureau proposed that Fan Zheng be expelled from the medical profession, he rejected it because he knew that getting close to someone was really harmful. Although Fan Zheng's doctor suggested
Shocking, but not wrong.
However, this time, Fan Zheng violated his bottom line. He actually let an injured person drink alcohol. This is simply the behavior of a quack. Alcohol is indeed widely used as medicine, not to mention many medicinal wines in later generations, including the famous Ma Fei San.
Just take it with alcohol. However, if a trauma patient drinks alcohol, it will paralyze the nerves and reduce pain for a short time, but it will also cause the wound to grow and even cause serious diseases such as wound infection.
"What, let the injured patient drink?" Yang Jie suddenly raised his head and looked at Fan Zheng with a frown. He knew that Fan Zheng was studying medicine halfway and was not good at medical skills, but he did not expect that Fan Zheng was so unbearable. He had no evaluation of him.
Wrong, he did come to the Imperial Medical Bureau for an ulterior motive.
Fan Zheng calmly shook his head and said: "The Imperial Physician has misunderstood. The wine in the student's prescription is not for internal use but for external use!"
"External use! That's nonsense!" Qian Yi said even more angrily: "Alcohol is the most irritating. The wound is already extremely painful, and the slightest contamination of the wound will cause severe pain. It is like adding salt to the wound. The pain becomes even worse. How can we heal the wound?
, Besides, we are doctors, and the emperor treats illnesses and saves people, not cruel officials who torture and extract confessions."
Even Yang Jie looked at Fan Zheng in surprise. This was common knowledge among doctors. He didn't believe that Fan Zheng didn't know it. However, Fan Zheng still prescribed such a prescription, which made him suspicious.
Fan Zheng nodded and said: "What the imperial doctor said is true. Applying wine to wounds will indeed make the pain worse. However, compared to preventing and treating wound infection, this pain is nothing at all."
"What, prevent and treat wound infection!" Imperial Physician Cheng and Yang Jie looked at Fan Zheng in disbelief. Although trauma is easy to cure and can often be cured without seeking medical attention, trauma has one of the biggest hidden dangers, and that is wound infection. Once the wound is
Infection can lead to wound ulceration and pus in mild cases, amputation or even death in severe cases. If wine can prevent and treat wound infection, it will be a miracle medicine that shocked the medical community of the Song Dynasty.
"Not bad!" Fan Zheng nodded solemnly.
"Impossible? Wound infection is a problem for countless senior doctors. If wine can really prevent and treat wound infection, how could it not be discovered." Yang Jie shook his head.
Shen Nong tasted a hundred herbs! Traditional Chinese medicine is empirical medicine. Countless medical predecessors used their own lives and the lives of their patients to sum up magical medical prescriptions to save more people. If wine can really prevent and treat wound infections, it is impossible.
It hasn't been discovered yet.
Imperial Physician Qian Yi nodded heavily.
Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "There are two reasons why the ability of wine to prevent and treat wound infection has not been discovered. First, if wine contaminates the wound, it will cause severe pain, which makes trauma patients avoid it like snakes and scorpions. This is why wine has no effect.
The reason for discovery.”
Qian Yi thought thoughtfully, it was indeed possible.
Fan Zhengdao: "Second, the wine we often drink cannot prevent wound infection, but Fan extracted the essence of wine from the wine to double its medicinal effect.
"The essence of wine!" Yang Jie raised his eyebrows and said, obviously not believing it.
Fan Zheng said proudly: "Yes, it's a long story. You must have heard that Fan's two poems "The Hairpin-headed Phoenix" at the Bianyuan Poetry Society not only overwhelmed the Kaifeng literary world, but also reversed the situation of kissing each other in one fell swoop.
Folklore.”
Imperial Physician Qian Yi and Yang Jie suddenly twitched their lips. Fan Zheng's medical prescription was too evil. He prescribed Heli prescription to treat infertility. In the face of the excitement among the people, he wrote two poems to directly reverse the situation.
Although it is not a medical prescription, it can cure diseases and indirectly save tens of thousands of people.
Fan Zheng continued: "The student's miraculous medical skills shined so brightly that even the female poet Li Qingzhao came to seek medical treatment."
"What, Miss Li is sick! She actually went to see you for medical treatment!" Yang Jie suddenly panicked after hearing this. He is the nephew of Zhang Lei, the fourth bachelor of the Su family, and he and Li Qingzhao are also old acquaintances. In addition, Li Qingzhao is well-known in Bianjing for his talent and appearance.
Naturally, he had a secret love for Li Qingzhao. When he suddenly heard that Li Qingzhao was ill, instead of seeking treatment from him, the great doctor, he actually sought treatment from the quack doctor Fan Zheng, he couldn't help but feel mixed emotions in his heart.
Fan Zheng naturally didn't know about Yang Jie's psychological activities, so he continued: "No! Miss Li is not sick, but her poetry has reached a bottleneck. Suddenly she heard Fan's "The Hairpin-Headed Phoenix" and was shocked.
Come and ask for advice on how to break through the bottleneck of poetry."
"What's the cure for poetry bottleneck, and what does it have to do with the Imperial Medical Bureau's annual exam? Could it be that the medical prescription you prescribed for him is also for alcohol!" Hearing Fan Zheng boasting, the corners of Qian Yi's mouth twitched, not only Fan Zheng
People love to prescribe evil prescriptions, but the dignified female poet of Kaifeng was still ill and rushed to the doctor.
"That's right! The medical prescription prescribed by the student to Miss Li was wine!" Fan Zheng said proudly.
"Ah!" At this moment, Qian Yi and Yang Jie were dumbfounded.
Yang Jie's face suddenly turned red and he rebuked angrily: "Fan Zheng, Yang thought you were just trying to please the public, but who knew you were such a fool? There is no doctor in the world who can write poetry after drinking alcohol. Besides, Miss Li is a girl."
, you actually prescribe random prescriptions and instigate her to drink alcohol to ruin his reputation. It is simply a waste of time for you to be a doctor."
"Fan Zheng, do you know that although wine can be used as medicine, it is known all over the world that drinking alcohol can cause harm to people. The Imperial Medical Bureau strictly prohibits doctors from drinking alcohol to practice medicine. You actually encourage women to drink alcohol. What kind of medical skill is this?" Qian Yi also scolded angrily.
Fan Zheng retorted proudly: "The Imperial Physician Cheng is unaware of something. Students also have their own medical theories when prescribing this medicine. As we all know, medical skills are learned through experience. They are summed up by countless experiences of medical predecessors, thus obtaining classic medical prescriptions one after another.
Throughout the poetry and books of the past dynasties, and
There are countless poems about wine, which shows how important wine is to poetry. Miss Li is talented and dominates the Bianjing literary world, but she has no famous poems. Students can only summarize the experience of poets in the past, carefully prescribe prescriptions, and finally use wine as a medicine to lead Li.
The girl breaks through the bottleneck of poetry."
"Uh!" Yang Jie was stunned for a moment, looking at Fan Zheng's explanation at a glance. It seemed that Fan Zheng's evil prescription also had certain medical principles.
"In order to fear that the medicine would not be effective enough and the treatment effect would be unsatisfactory, the students also found a new way to refine the spirit again and only took the essence of the wine for Miss Li to drink. In this way, the effect of the medicine is doubled, and I believe it will have miraculous effects." Fan Zheng said confidently.
"You... you... are simply audacious and wanton. This time, I won't protect you no matter what, I will expel you from the medical profession and expel you from the Imperial Medical Bureau!" Qian Yi, the Imperial Physician, said angrily.
Fan Zheng had previously made a fuss and complained a lot because of his prescription for reconciliation. A group of doctors from the Imperial Medical Bureau proposed that Fan Zheng should be expelled from the medical profession. Qian Yi knew the harm of incest marriage and tried to protect Fan Zheng. This is how Fan Zheng is today.
He took the exam again, but instead of correcting himself, Fan Zheng got worse.
In his whole life of practicing medicine, Imperial Physician Cheng Qian Yi has never seen such a quack doctor like Fan Zheng. He prescribes random prescriptions and is complacent. If he allows it to continue, wouldn't it completely ruin the reputation of the Imperial Medical Bureau and harm countless people?
, maybe even he, the imperial physician, will be humiliated by this.
Hearing this, Fan Zheng cupped his hands and said, "Fan Zheng will keep in mind the Imperial Physician Cheng's previous protective feelings. However, the Imperial Physician Cheng has not verified Fan's medical prescription, so how can he think that Fan's medical prescription is wrong!"
Yang Jie sarcastically said: "Not only do you prescribe alcohol for Miss Li, you also use alcohol as medicine for trauma patients. Could it be that the essence of the wine in your mouth can cure all diseases?"
Hearing this, Fan Zheng took out a porcelain bottle, placed it in front of Qian Yi and said: "The student has extracted the essence of the wine. If you don't believe it, you will know after you try it."
After saying that, Fan Zheng turned around and left, holding his head high and walking out of the examination room.
Chapter completed!
