Facing Zhou Man, it was easy to say a lot of things that were difficult to say, not to mention that there are several old ladies here who have been with Man Bao and asked her to come to see a doctor.
The mother of the Crown Princess, Mrs. Pi Guogong extended her hand to wave to Man Bao, and said with a smile, "I haven't seen Miss Zhou for a while, and she has grown a lot taller."
Man Bao's eyes lit up immediately, his back straightened a little, and he asked with a smile, "Really?"
Mrs. Pi Guogong nodded with a smile, "Of course it is true. If you don't believe me, you can ask Mrs. Zhao Guogong."
The last time Mrs. Zhao Guogong had chest tightness and discomfort, she also invited Man Bao to see a doctor, so the two of them are a little familiar.
Mrs. Zhao Guogong nodded with a smile, indicating that it was true.
Man Bao became happy, and he was not too restrained, and asked these noble ladies in a soft voice, if you have any questions about the recruitment of the Imperial Medical Office, you can ask her.
It is not ordinary people who can find the queen. Mrs. Zhao Guogong is the queen's direct sister-in-law, and Mrs. Pi Guogong is the mother of the crown prince. Besides, there is Mrs. Li, Minister of the Ministry of Officials. She represents the entire Li family and Su Guogong. Madam, Mrs. Cui, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Lu who stayed in the capital.
Either the rich or the aristocratic family, most of them have seen Manbao, even if they have not seen a doctor, they have seen them at Han Wuniang's son's hundred-day banquet, and they are not familiar with them, but Manbao has a photographic memory, so he naturally remembers them.
The queen gave Zhou Man a seat, as if to make it easier for them to communicate, the seat was specially placed opposite to them.
Man Bao glanced at the position, then glanced at the queen quietly, nodded slightly after being encouraged by her, and then stepped forward to sit down.
The ladies opened their mouths to ask questions, but the queen on the seat suddenly held up the teacup and smiled at Man Bao: "Madams have a lot of questions to ask, you don't have to go to the Crown Princess and Prince Gong this afternoon. , let the ladies answer their questions first."
Man Bao slightly bent down to respond.
The wives who were about to complain that Xiao Yuan was charging too high a price changed their minds, swallowed and then asked: "Miss Zhou, we just talked to Xiao Yuan, the people sent to the Imperial Medical Office are different, The things to learn are also different from ordinary doctors, it is really unnecessary to take classes with other people, it is better to form a class alone, and Miss Zhou will teach them in person."
Man Bao declined with a smile and said: "All medical skills must be learned from the most basic, and all doctors are common. The medical skills of other imperial doctors in the imperial hospital are not inferior to mine. It is impossible for me to lead the whole class, but I am responsible. Just a class or two."
Man Bao looked at the queen and said: "Although I am an imperial physician teaching in the imperial medical office, the work in the imperial hospital cannot be neglected."
The wives looked at each other, Mrs. Zhao Guogong also picked up the teacup and drank tea, Mrs. Pi Guogong could only ask: "Then what medical skills does the Imperial Medical Office plan to teach them?"
What they care about most is whether the medical skills they want can be taught to them.
Man Bao has been in the capital for a year and a half, and he has been in and out of the back house frequently. Knowing what they are most concerned with, he counted them carefully with his fingers, "Even if you teach them alone, "Pulse Jue", The four most basic medical books, "Materia Medica", "Ming Tang" and "Su Wen", are also to be learned. If they can read, they can finish them in one and a half to two years, and the Imperial Medical Office can teach them in the third year Common disease in children and women."
She paused and then said: "I know, ladies want to have a private doctor, so that it will be more convenient for the family in the future, but the illnesses in the family are very complicated, and the things they have to learn must be more complicated than other subjects. If they are more proficient, they will be taught according to the physical therapy department, which will take about eight years."
The wives were reluctant to hear it, it was too long, in their view, three years was long enough.
Man Bao saw what they were thinking, and said: "The three-year course is just to learn the basics, and it may not be as knowledgeable as the medical ladies in the palace."
Man Bao took a look at their faces, and lowered his voice, "They have to learn all kinds of problems such as rashes on women's bodies, pregnancy preparation, miscarriage and childbirth, and postpartum metrorrhagia, and even some common diseases of children. As well as wind-cold, wind-heat, apoplexy, etc., they not only need to learn diagnosis and medicine, but also learn acupuncture and massage, which are targeted, and there is no incomplete learning in more than five years."
Mrs. Li immediately said: "That's five years."
After pondering for a moment, the other wives also said: "Five years is fine, but eight years is really too long."
Man Bao breathed a sigh of relief.
Several wives euphemistically expressed their wishes. They felt that it would be okay to teach less about children and other general diseases, mainly gynecological diseases.
Especially acupuncture, they all experienced the benefits of Zhou Man's acupuncture.
When other people in the family are sick, whether it is the male hosts or children, they can invite a doctor or imperial physician to come to see a doctor. It is also possible for the family to spend money to keep a doctor at home.
Even now, among those families with many people, who doesn't have a doctor in their family
It's just that it's hard to find a female doctor. Women, especially the daughters at home, feel uncomfortable, especially when something hurts or hurts somewhere. Because they are ashamed to say it, they often ask their mothers to get the medicine. Not symptomatic, and repeated;
Or because the effect of the medicine is not very good, anyway, it is always a little unsatisfactory.
But it’s different if there is a female doctor in the family. They are all female, and they can talk a lot.
Not to mention, in addition to the girls in the family, there are also daughter-in-laws and grand-daughter-in-laws. Who doesn't have some problems after getting married and having children
Everyone looks pretty good-looking and happy on weekdays, but if they feel uncomfortable in private, probably only they and the girls around them know.
Mostly by boiling.
This is true for women from powerful and powerful families, let alone women from common people's families outside. Didn't her mother always hold back so many problems when she was young
Later, I went to see the doctor after I was too sick to move, and then took a pair of medicines for nearly ten years, and only when I was critically ill would I go to Dali Village to ask old doctor Lu to have a look again.
Man Bao withdrew his mind, quickly calculated the courses they needed to teach in his mind, nodded after a while and said: "I'm going back to discuss with Xiao Yuan, it should be possible."
Anyway, since they have money, the courses can be more flexible.
The wives were satisfied, and complained in a low voice. There are many questions that it is not good to ask the doctor outside, not only because of embarrassment, but also because if the doctor outside is not strict, the reputation of the girl at home will be bad. .
Man Bao expressed his understanding.
After talking about the most important content, the next thing is to talk about money, because the previous communication was good, and the wives were not as tough on Man Bao as they were on Xiao Yuanzheng, but they also expressed the idea that the medical department's price was too high.
