"Whether you can survive depends on luck. Many people can't survive it." Su Yundao said, "Otherwise, why would bloodletting be abolished?"
As he spoke, a very strong sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said: "Boss, do you know who our ancestor is?"
"Don't talk nonsense. If you say Bian Que or Hua Tuo, I will admit it. But if you say he is a barber, I will not admit it." Zheng Ren looked at the medical records and said absently.
Why is it related to the barber? Tang Haitao was preoccupied with the barber shop near his home. Every time he went to get a haircut, Teacher Tony would ask for a card.
Moreover, haircuts are getting more and more expensive now, so my son cuts his own hair himself. After all, I have rotated in the neurosurgery department, and I can’t cut it well but it’s not bad either. Isn't it just preparing the skin? What's so difficult about it
"Mr. Tang, in the past Western medicine focused on bloodletting, and monks from the church would do this. It's a long story, and there are many weird stories in it. I'll tell you when I have time." Su Yun said with a smile: "Later Pope Alexander III in the twelfth century entrusted this glorious and sacred mission to the people.”
“…”
Tang Haitao was stunned for a moment by what Su Yun said.
"Do you remember the rotating three-color pillars in front of the barber shop?"
"Yes." Tang Haitao said blankly.
"Red refers to arterial blood. Blue refers to venous blood. White is the background color, so don't worry about it." Su Yundao, "At that time, the master who shaved his head worked part-time as a doctor. Do you think our doctors have a high status? I was the first one. He expressed dissatisfaction. He said that we are in the service industry and there is really no way we can compete with others."
Su Yun's tone of voice was almost infinitely sarcastic, and he kept criticizing the hospital's emphasis on service.
"Speak politely and don't be arrogant." Zheng Ren turned over a page of medical records and said solemnly: "But you are right. It is wrong for a high-tech industry to be classified as a service industry."
"Are you wrong? Tu Youyou, Teacher Tu is not even an academician. You are just a piece of cake. A Nobel Prize is great? If you have the ability, get another one." Su Yun shouted.
Tang Haitao sweated profusely. He would win another Nobel Prize if he had the ability; and Teacher Tu was not even an academician... Neither of these two topics he dared to take on.
"I'm just a clinician. I just treat patients and save people. The unconscious behavior of the group will correct many mistakes in a few years."
"It's also possible that it goes further and further away." Su Yun argued.
When Tang Haitao heard that the two of them were arguing, he felt worried and immediately said with a smile: "Boss Zheng, Brother Yun, what happened to the shaver?"
"Eh? You haven't forgotten it yet." Su Yun raised his head, looked at Tang Haitao, and asked: "Is it important to shave your head, or is it important that you sit here and you may not be killed one day?"
“…”
"Speak carefully." Zheng Rendao, "Mr. Tang, barbers have developed a complete set of bloodletting procedures and tools. The blade that cuts blood vessels is called "Lancet". The famous British medical journal "Lancet" comes from bloodletting. Blade used.”
"Boss, the lancet you are using is supposed to be used to shave people's heads." Su Yun didn't know why he was in a bad mood and said in a strange tone.
"Edward IV established the first barbers' guild in 1462, granting its members the right to barber and perform surgeries in London."
Tang Haitao really didn't expect that the ancestor of surgeons was actually a barber. No wonder Boss Zheng said that at that time.
"But then there was a group of radical surgeons who went to cemeteries to dig up dead people and study human anatomy. To be more serious, they were called dark wizards at that time." Zheng Rendao, "They firmly despised barbers. Surgeon, the two groups are at loggerheads.”
Tang Haitao was speechless.
"After 200 years of competition and many people dying, barbers stopped practicing surgery."
"I didn't expect foreigners to be so ignorant back then." Tang Haitao murmured.
"If the alchemists hadn't accidentally discovered the reverberatory furnace, which ultimately triggered a series of reactions and led to the industrial revolution, they would have been a group of barbarians." Su Yun said with disdain.
"Absolutely. Bloodletting therapy in Western medicine is different from acupuncture bloodletting in Chinese medicine. It's nonsense." Zheng Ren said: "Bloodletting therapy... Declaration of Independence, you know."
Tang Haitao really didn't know why talking about bloodletting was related to the Declaration of Independence.
"Benjamin Rush was the only doctor in the Declaration of Independence. What he knew was bloodletting." Zheng Ren said with a smile, "Washington was put to death by bloodletting."
"Actually, Chinese medicine was much more reliable than Western medicine at that time." Su Yundao said.
"In ancient times, emperors generally did not live long, and humans still need to make progress." Zheng Rendao.
"The emperor's death was due to other things. After Jiajing succeeded to the throne, he would rather make elixirs and eat heavy metals than listen to the imperial doctor. He killed the imperial doctor three times. It has nothing to do with medical skills, it is all about human heart. What you said makes no sense at all. I think Chinese medicine is more reliable than Western medicine, at least before the 18th century."
"Let's not talk about bloodletting. Washington felt his throat hurt. He used leeches first, and then used cantharis. In the end, the effect was not good, so he just bled 2,300ml of blood. The person who did it was Benjamin Rush."
"The results of it?"
"The question is, who can drink 2300ml of blood and still survive?" Su Yun said contemptuously.
"Later, there was a yellow fever epidemic. Benjamin Rush bled the patients, and countless people died. He was discovered by a reporter. Later, a Scottish officer named Hamilton studied bloodletting therapy and used sick soldiers for experiments. It is found that it can only make soldiers die quickly, but it is of no use other than that."
"Originally, bloodletting is rarely seen in our country. In traditional Chinese medicine, bloodletting is done by finding acupuncture points and inserting a few milliliters. But recently, various pseudosciences have begun to appear again, and they may never disappear. From hand-waving therapy to now, They have always existed." Su Yundao.
"Well, the patient just now obviously had shallow knife marks all over his hands and fingers. And in the case of domestic violence, any sensible person would not bring a knife to the hospital to provoke." Zheng Ren said matter-of-factly.
"He wanted to save people. He came with the knife because he thought there were germs on the knife and wanted the doctor to check it. In fact, the patient had high blood pressure and cerebral hemorrhage... By the way, how big was the patient's cerebral hemorrhage?" Su Yun asked road.
"40ml, already on stage."
"Well, just go up." Zheng Ren said, "High blood pressure causes dizziness, pain stimulation causes blood pressure to further increase, and finally cerebral hemorrhage occurs. The logic is very simple."
Tang Haitao was ashamed. He had occasionally seen Boss Zheng treating patients, especially the group of patients suffering from food poisoning after accidentally eating pig thyroid. It was only after my own personal experience that I realized that both Boss Zheng and Brother Yun were really monsters. No wonder they won the Nobel Prize.
