Although Dr. Wei was skeptical of the shopkeeper's words, but his son liked it, and finally Dr. Wei paid for it for him.
Dr. Tian and Dr. Shao also picked out their favorite cloth bags, checked out together and left.
Walking out of the bookstore, the three doctors glanced at each other, and exchanged false greetings: "It's getting late."
"Yeah, it seems it's time for dinner."
"Haha, yes, Zhuo Jing must have prepared dinner, why don't the two doctors come home with me for a meal?"
Dr. Wei was the first to refuse, "The medical office has already prepared meals for our father and son, so it's not a good idea to waste it. I appreciate Dr. Tian's kindness."
Dr. Shao said that his wife was also waiting for him to go home for dinner, so she also refused.
Everyone dispersed in front of the bookstore and went back to their respective places.
The shopkeeper watched them leave with his hands in his hands, and shook his head involuntarily.
Wei Shizhong couldn't help but visit his father along the way.
Dr. Wei: "Look at what?"
"Father, you and Dr. Tian and Dr. Shao are apprentices in the medical office, so you should be regarded as brothers? Why do you..." He paused and said, "Why do you seem so hypocritical?"
Dr. Wei: "... What do children know? We are all at the same age, and our teachers and students are completely different. Although we are both apprentices in the medical office, one year later, when I want to go back to my pharmacy, they will also go back to their respective pharmacies. It’s not the same way to go to your master’s house.”
"The way is different, why bother to be too intimate?"
Wei Shizhong asked with a confused face, "Then, should Hu Xiaomei and I be more distant?"
Dr. Wei patted him on the head and said, "Fool, can you be like us? How old are we, how old are you?"
He said: "You and Hu Xiaomei are both young. Even if you go home for your father in a year, you have to stay and be an apprentice. You are apprentices who have studied from the very beginning. Naturally, your friendship is no better than that of Dr. Tian and me, so You get along well with people."
He also said: "As long as you can learn three-point medical skills from Mr. Zhou, even if you can't enter the medical office to make a difference in the future, it is enough to go home and inherit your own medical office."
Since Dr. Wei brought his son into the medical office, he was naturally ambitious.
He thought that his son would study by Zhou Man's side, and if he could succeed in his studies in a few years, it would be best if he could follow Zhou Man's path or take the exam and enter the Imperial Medical Office to study;
Then he will be an official when he comes out. Even if they are medical craftsmen, they still want to be officials and glorify their ancestors.
If he is really weak and can't enter the imperial medical office, but as long as he learns some medical skills from Zhou Man, if necessary, he can stay in the medical office and slowly climb up;
In Dr. Wei's opinion, as long as his son can be an official of the first rank, even a ninth rank is enough.
As for the third option, it is to go back and inherit the family business when the first two options fail.
Dr. Wei stretched out his hand and patted his son's shoulder and said, "Your talent is already the best among your brothers. If you can't learn it, it will be even more difficult for your brothers to learn it."
"So you have to learn from Mr. Zhou well. Don't look at the pharmacy at home that welcomes and delivers so many patients every day. In fact, our situation is not good. If we don't have good medical skills and background support in the future, we will definitely decline."
Wei Shizhong hurriedly said: "Father, don't worry, I will study hard."
Doctor Wei sighed and nodded.
There are currently five apprentices in the medical office, the two young ones are okay, because their knowledge is limited, and now they learn how to handle medicinal materials every day, recite the names and properties of medicinal materials by themselves, and do some chores. They get along fairly well and are friendly and helpful.
Zhou Man is quite satisfied with them, but not very satisfied with the three apprentices.
Zhou Man received a trauma patient this afternoon. He slipped and fell down the hillside when he was going up the mountain to collect firewood. The tree stump that was cut down accidentally scratched a hole and hit the stone...
It was delivered in time, and the simple bandaging by the person slowed down the bleeding, so the person was fine when it was delivered.
After Zhou Man's examination, he said: "It's a fracture, and it needs to be stitched up. There are sawdust and some sundries left in the wound. It needs debridement. Let him boil a bowl of Mabo."
Zhou Man didn't prescribe a prescription, because she felt that the three doctors must have the prescription of Mafeisan, but seeing that the three of them hadn't moved, she frowned slightly, and called Xibing to help, "Go grab the medicine of Mafeisan, Let Xiao Kou boil the medicine, and you will help."
Xibing went to the battlefield with Zhou Man, and memorized some commonly used decoction prescriptions on the battlefield, and Mafeisan was naturally one of them, so she turned around and went down to grab the medicine.
Zhou Man turned his head and said to the three people: "Doctor Tian, cut off his trousers. Doctor Shao, go and prepare the hemostatic medicine. It costs two renminbi of raw Nanxing and three renminbi of raw rhubarb..."
Zhou Man read the prescription directly, and after Dr. Shao wrote it down, he said to Dr. Wei: "Go and prepare things for the operation."
The three of them acted accordingly.
Zhou Man stood by and watched.
Xibing came back soon, and said to Zhou Man, "The medicine is ready."
Zhou Man nodded slightly and asked her to prepare hot water and clean cloth towels.
Doctor Tian and Xibing had already cut off his clothes, exposing the wound, Zhou Man saw that he was still bleeding, so he gave him an injection to stop the bleeding.
When everything was ready and the person drank Mafeisan, the surrounding people casually took a thick needle and pricked an acupuncture point. Seeing that he didn't respond much, he knew that Mafeisan had taken effect.
She cleaned her hands and got ready, and said to the three people standing beside her: "Today, you can take a look at how I am suturing my bones. I will use hemostatic medicine, painkiller medicine, and corresponding acupuncture techniques..."
Zhou Man was explaining while making, Xibing was helping, and the three of them were writing hard with a small book.
But Zhou Man occasionally said, and occasionally focused on the injuries of her subordinates, not to mention, her technique was superior to theirs, the amount of bleeding after broken bones was very small, and the debris in the wound was cleaned quickly and lightly, Several times, they didn't take her lightly, and they just picked and flipped through the things and came out, with very little damage to the skin.
Doctor Tian and the others stared blankly, this is a technique that can only be learned after using many knives.
After cleaning the wound, Zhou Man said, "Now it's suturing, and there are many kinds of suturing... Xibing, bring the thread."
Xibing threaded the needle for her, held the needle with a clip and gave it to her. Zhou Man took it and sewed it up swiftly without a trace of stagnation.
Dr. Tian and the others opened their mouths. Among the three, only Dr. Shao had stitched up wounds. Both Dr. Tian and Dr. Wei had only heard of it, but had never seen it.
Seeing Zhou Man's stitches now, both of them were stunned. They saw that the big opening was slowly being stitched up, not to mention the great reduction in bleeding, and the whole leg didn't look so miserable anymore.
After Zhou Man finished the stitches, he stood sideways and said to Xibing: "Give him the medicine and then bandage him. His legs can't move around. They still need to be fixed after the medicine is applied."
Western cakes should be served.
Doctor Tian really wanted to do it himself, so he volunteered: "My lord, let me do it."
"No need," Zhou Man said while washing his hands, "Come out, I'll take a look at your notes."
The three of them looked down at the ghostly symbols that only they could understand because they were in a hurry and wrote: …
