Chapter 2276: Training Village Doctors
"I think it's okay. Although the peasants in Ding County are ignorant and don't study, due to the long-standing tradition, they respect scholars very much. If we want to help them, there must be someone willing to accept it!" Yuan Xiaoyan is more optimistic. Understand the thoughts of rural people.
"We can first gather the nearby bell doctors, the medicine farmers in the village, the owners of the herbal medicine shops, and the midwives. These people have long-term dealings with patients and medicine, and their foundation is better, and it is also good for them to acquire more advanced medical skills. Driven by interests, they are also willing to learn." Shen Long said, he is more practical, and he knows that the poorer he is, the more he values interests, and if he learns the skills, he can treat more people and cure more diseases. Don't worry if they don't learn.
"Yes, pregnant women and children in rural areas use traditional methods of delivery, which is unhygienic and unsafe. There are often tragedies of one dead body and two dead. If this problem can be solved, the survival rate of pregnant women and children will definitely increase!" the students said. Immediately cheer up and be proud that they can finally do something.
"Everyone knows that the rural concept is relatively closed and conservative, so the training of midwives is left to you guys. In the selection of candidates, it is best to start with younger women, who are more accepting." The old midwife's thinking is relatively stubborn, but it's not something these female students can easily handle.
Of course, Shen Long did not prevent them from teaching these elderly people, but that there is a process from easy to difficult in doing things, and it is difficult at the beginning. Not only is the effect not good, but it is easy to dispel their enthusiasm. Once the work has achieved results , not only the students will be more active in teaching, but also drive more villagers to come to study.
"Then starting tomorrow, we will divide into two batches. The male students will go to the surrounding villages and towns to publicize the news that we will hold training courses here to teach everyone medical skills. We will focus on inviting the doctors I just mentioned. The pharmacy owner, the midwife, and the female students stayed here, summarizing the data we collected in Ding County these days, analyzing what are the most common diseases in the area, how these diseases are caused, and finding out the treatment and prevention of these diseases method." Shen Long said.
"Yes, teacher!" The students responded in unison, full of energy, even if they went back to lie on the kang, they didn't want to sleep, and even forgot the pain of flea bites, and they talked passionately about how to start work tomorrow.
When he woke up the next day, Shen Long left his female classmates and two male classmates to take care of them, while he took Bai Jingye, Murongwu, and Yuan Xiaoyan out of the village and headed for a nearby town.
The big guys separated, and Shen Long took Bai Jingye's hand to the next village. As soon as he entered the village, he saw a Ling doctor with a medicine box on his shoulder and a tiger brace in his hand. This was also the standard dress of Ling doctor.
The so-called tiger support is a metal ring, which will ring when you shake it with your fingers. This tradition comes from Sun Simiao. It is said that Sun Simiao once went to the mountains to collect medicine. When he met a tiger, the tiger lay on the ground with its mouth wide open as if praying for something. Sun Simiao fixed his eyes. It turned out that a bone was stuck in the tiger's throat.
He wanted to help the tiger take out the bone, but he was worried that the tiger would bite off his arm. When he was in trouble, he had an idea, took the copper ring from the pole and stuck it in the tiger's mouth, and then passed his arm through the copper ring to help the tiger out. Copper rings, so such copper rings have since been renamed Huzhu.
The bell doctors of later generations improved the tiger brace, which can make a sound by shaking it to remind the surrounding villagers to come to see a doctor. There are certain rules when shaking the tiger brace: if it is shaken on the chest, it means that it is an ordinary doctor; if it is shaken at shoulder level , indicating high medical skills; holding it above the head and shaking it, symbolizing very good medical skills.
But no matter where you are, you can't shake the tiger brace when you pass by the door of the pharmacy, because there are tablets of Sun Simiao in the pharmacy.
"Mr. Bai, you're here, why don't you come home for a drink?" Doctor Ling immediately recognized Shen Long, and immediately invited him to sit at home with respect. , or the principal of Jingcheng Medical College, it is a bit difficult to say.
"Aren't you going to make a doctor's visit? Then go there quickly, don't delay the patient, and you can drink water next time." Shen Long responded.
"There are no patients, no patients, I just see the weather is good today, I want to go out for a walk, see if I can meet any patients!" Dr. Ling shook his head repeatedly, and dragged Shen Long to his home.
It can be seen that the family background of this Ling doctor is better than that of the ordinary people around him. There are various medicinal herbs in the house. You can smell the strong medicinal fragrance as soon as you enter the house. After entering the house, he wiped it with his sleeve first. They invited Shen Long and Bai Jingye to sit down, and found two bowls with the fewest gaps to pour water for them. After doing this, they squatted down humbly, not daring to sit even though there were still stools.
Shen Long insisted on pulling him to sit down, seeing that he was wearing a pipe and pot on his belt, and gave him a cigarette. Dr. Ling was reluctant to smoke, and stuck it to his ear. Some questions, "...Well, you use the licorice medicine very well, but the herb is a bit too much. Who did you learn the medicine from?"
"Thank you, Mr. Bai, for your guidance. My father was Doctor Ling back then. I traveled with him from village to village to see how he treats people." Doctor Ling named Huang Bai replied.
"So you father and son are the great benefactors of the surrounding villagers, it's amazing!" After a compliment, Shen Long explained the purpose of coming, "That's right, I plan to open a school in the next village to teach the surrounding doctors, drugstore owners, and farmers How to treat people, I wonder if you have time to listen to it?"
Hearing this, Huang Bo was immediately excited. You must know that it is too difficult for farmers to learn a craft nowadays. They have to be sent to other people’s homes when they are young. With one or two hands, he didn't even dare to learn from the two sitting doctors in the city, let alone such a powerful doctor as Shen Long? He is from the Bai family of Baicao Hall!
He quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "Mr. Bai is very kind, I will definitely listen to it!"
In this way, one after another was done, and when the first training class started three days later, almost all the bell doctors, drug farmers, drug store owners and midwives from several surrounding villages and towns came.
Shen Long erected a blackboard on the grain drying field at the entrance of the village, asking the village carpenter to help him build it. Ling doctors and drug farmers sat on the ground with a pious mood and began to listen carefully to Shen Long's explanation.
