Chapter 278 Trauma Medicine
Soon, Zhang Qingfeng submitted a memorial and got an approval soon.
The medical school established by Zhang Qingfeng was arranged in a manor outside the city. This manor is the property of the imperial court. It is very large and can accommodate at least a thousand people to study in it.
In order to support Zhang Qingfeng's work, the imperial court also sent Zhang Qingfeng more than a dozen imperial doctors to serve as teachers of the medical school.
For the medical school, Zhang Qingfeng named it simply, "Song Lin'an Medical College", and the plaque was written by Zhao Kuoti.
"Chen Imperial Physician, our medical school mainly focuses on treating diseases that immigrants will encounter after they arrive, mainly malaria, plague, colds and other diseases, as well as trauma."
Zhang Qingfeng said to a little old man: "If you teach like this, you may not be able to produce an apprentice in ten years, so it won't work."
"Why not? To study medicine, you have to have a solid foundation of study. You have to study for at least ten or eight years before you can be a teacher. Otherwise, don't you care about human life?" said the little old man who was called Chen Yuyi by Zhang Qingfeng.
"But I need to train hundreds of doctors who can treat some common diseases within a few years." Zhang Qingfeng argued: "These people don't need to be very skilled in medicine, as long as they can treat ordinary patients."
"No, if you are not good at learning art, you will ignore human life. I will not allow such a thing to happen." Doctor Chen still shook his head and refused.
At this time, another imperial doctor on the side also spoke, and he said to Zhang Qingfeng. "Yang Sanlang, you don't know medical skills. You don't know that if you don't learn the art well, treating people will only make the treatment more and more serious. In the end, you can treat minor illnesses into serious illnesses, or even put them to death directly, so you can't teach them like you said."
"My lords, have you ever thought that to immigrate to Yizhou Island, you need a lot of doctors. If you don't train them in a few years, where can I find so many doctors?"
Zhang Qingfeng said: "It's better to cure the dead if you don't study well, than to be sick and have no one to cure you, right?"
"But……"
"Don't worry... If you can find five hundred doctors for me within a year, you can teach the students of the medical school whatever you want." Zhang Qingfeng said to the crowd.
Hearing Zhang Qingfeng's words, a group of imperial doctors finally stopped talking. If they could find so many doctors and were willing to follow Zhang Qingfeng to develop Yizhou Island, they would stop talking nonsense.
Seeing that a group of imperial doctors had nothing to say, Zhang Qingfeng finally said: "The imperial court appointed me to be in charge of the medical school. I have the final say on this matter. We will specialize in the research of common diseases such as malaria, plague, and colds, as well as the treatment of some trauma."
Hearing what Zhang Qingfeng said, several imperial doctors opened their mouths, but finally said nothing.
"My lords, I have read almost all the books in the palace. I have seen a lot of cures for diseases such as malaria and plague. I don't know if they are true. Please help me to verify them." Zhang Qingfeng said to a group of imperial doctors.
After speaking, he took out a stack of materials and handed them to them.
Hearing Zhang Qingfeng's words, the imperial doctors curiously accepted the materials Zhang Qingfeng handed over.
"Is this a prescription?" An imperial doctor asked Zhang Qingfeng when he saw the contents above.
What Zhang Qingfeng wrote on this page were the names of some medicines, but the format was different from the doctor's prescription.
"Yes, this is a prescription for treating malaria." Zhang Qingfeng nodded.
Hearing Zhang Qingfeng's words, the imperial doctor immediately looked at the contents of the prescription carefully.
"This prescription contains Changshan. It is indeed a prescription for treating malaria. Several other herbs can also assist the medicinal properties of Changshan, which is good." The imperial doctor Zhang Qingfeng commented.
Changshan's treatment of malaria was recorded in Zhang Zhongjing's Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases. It is not surprising that the imperial physician knew about it.
"This is also for treating malaria, take a look." Zhang Qingfeng handed another prescription to the imperial doctor and said.
This prescription is an improved prescription for treating malaria with Artemisia annua.
Artemisia annua contains artemisinin, and modern scientist Tu Youyou won the Nobel Prize in Medicine for this discovery.
However, many people don’t know that it was Ge Hong of the Eastern Jin Dynasty who first discovered artemisinin to treat malaria. In his writings, he clearly proposed the method of artemisinin to treat malaria.
It's just that compared with Changshan, Artemisia annua has low medicinal properties, it is easy to treat mild cases, but it is difficult to treat severe cases.
Patients with acute malaria generally need Changshan to treat them, which can have immediate results.
However, the side effects of Changshan are too great, and it will cause damage to other organs, and because the malaria parasite is resistant to Changshan, it cannot be cured yet.
Therefore, Zhang Qingfeng planned to use these two medicines to treat malaria at the same time. For mild cases, he would use Artemisia annua, and for acute malaria, he would use Changshan.
"Hey! Yang Sanlang, you're saying that the wound festers because of tiny bugs that some people can't see with the naked eye? Where did you hear that?" an imperial doctor asked Zhang Qingfeng.
"Master Zhou, this is something recorded in a foreign miscellaneous book I read."
Zhang Qingfeng said: "This is an experiment done by a foreign doctor. He believed that there must be something outside the human body that can contaminate the wound, allowing the poison to enter the blood of the body, leading to death. In order to prove this, he took a lot of steps Way to do experiments.”
Zhang Qingfeng said: "We all know that most of the wounds we treat now are burned with fire and oil, and then wrapped with golden sore medicinal cloth, it's over. Whether we can live after that depends on God's will. If the wound festers And fever can easily kill you."
After a pause, Zhang Qingfeng continued: "In order to prove what he thinks is right, the foreign doctor did many experiments with monkeys. He injured the monkeys and then applied many things, such as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and lime. , mercury, alum, and various drugs, etc.”
Zhang Qingfeng said: "I don't know how many monkeys died, how many experiments were done, and finally he summed up many ways to treat wounds."
"What way?" Someone asked Zhang Qingfeng.
"That is, wrapping the wound with a cloth that has been boiled in boiling water and dried in the sun can reduce the probability of wound ulceration."
"Later, the foreign doctor also discovered that if the content of wine was increased to 70.00% of water, pouring such wine on the wound, and wrapping the wound with boiled cloth, there would be a ninety-nine percent chance of preventing the injury. The wound festers, thereby healing the trauma.”
"how can that be?"
Hearing Zhang Qingfeng's words, a group of imperial physicians obviously didn't believe it.
An imperial doctor said: "Even if what you said is true, it still cannot prove that it is because of some tiny insects that cannot be seen by the eyes."
Hearing what the imperial doctor said, Zhang Qingfeng said: "I haven't finished yet. Later, this foreign doctor used a tool that can magnify things several times, ten times, and saw many tiny things that cannot be seen with the naked eye. bugs, and it is precisely because of the wounds of the people that these bugs enter that the wounds fester."
The tool Zhang Qingfeng mentioned that can magnify is naturally a microscope.
The original microscope is composed of two lenses, which can only magnify several times or ten times. Although the magnification of such a microscope is small, some large microorganisms can still be seen clearly.
For example, mites, the largest of which are [-] mm, are as big as a pinpoint, that is, the size of a hair. If they are placed on a pure black object, they can be seen with the naked eye, just like a grain of dust.
Zhang Qingfeng was going to make something like a microscope, and then let the imperial doctors see if there was anything invisible to the naked eye.
Microscopes are very simple to make, and the most troublesome thing is to spend time polishing the lenses.
As for the microscope with a magnification of a hundred times and a thousand times, even if Zhang Qingfeng racked his brains, it would probably be difficult to make it, because his strength would not allow it.
