Valley Emperor

Vol 2 Chapter 1927: Not contempt but fear of death

Datang also adopted the strengths of a hundred schools of thought, gathered together many skilled old Chinese medicine practitioners in the empire, and asked them to write down their experiences, or simply get them to be professors of Chinese medicine in universities, so as to form a unified teaching method of Chinese medicine.

Today's Chinese medicine practitioners in Datang can be trained systematically, and they are all taught by old Chinese medicine practitioners. No matter how bad it is, they can copy Xuanke to open a pharmacy, which is much better than self-taught.

Traditional Chinese medicine research is one leg, while the other leg of Datang medical research is modern medical research based on anatomy, microbiology, etc.

It is worth noting that Datang did not distinguish between traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, because there is no such thing as Western medicine or traditional Chinese medicine in Datang. All belong to the category of medicine, but are divided into traditional medicine and modern medicine.

The research theories of modern medicine are quite rich. The advent of bold dissection and high-magnification microscopes has already allowed the scholars of the Department of Medicine of the Royal Institute of Technology to understand the internal structure of the human body, even red blood cells, platelets, and microorganisms. These things are already known.

Not to mention blood type.

I also know what is the cause of many diseases, but how to treat it is a problem!

They can only experiment one by one. So far, the most outstanding achievement of modern medicine is surgery. In theory, they have already done a lot of operations!

However, there are still very few targeted modern drugs, and the only good research results in recent years are salicylates.

However, from this thing, the professors of the Royal Institute of Technology's Department of Medicine saw the road of hope, and they began to synthesize all kinds of messy things in a frenzy, in order to find some kind of ingredient that can cure the disease.

How should I put it, the development of modern medicine in the Tang Dynasty is a little deformed. The theoretical things are already understood. They know the etiology of many diseases, but there is no medicine available.

For example, people talk about tuberculosis, that is, pulmonary stasis cough. They know the cause of the disease, but there is no cure, so there is no egg!

This is also the main reason why Datang has vigorously promoted traditional Chinese medicine in recent years, although a large number of perverts at the Royal Institute of Technology still do not understand why these traditional Chinese medicines can cure diseases!

But it can be cured anyway!

In addition to research on medicine and theory, Datang also reformed the medical system in the empire.

The Ministry of Household has long established the Department of Health, which is in charge of epidemic prevention, medical care and other affairs.

In the earliest days, the main job of the Department of Health was to govern private pharmacies and the like, urging colleges and universities to open medical departments and train regular doctors.

Beginning in the fifteenth year of Xuanping, Datang began to build government-run medical centers across the country. In principle, every county has a government-run medical center. As for the size, that is another matter.

In the 18th year of Xuanping, the Datang Health Department announced the implementation of a nationwide medical license system. Only doctors with medical licenses can legally practice medicine and have the authority to prescribe medicines. Illegal medical practices without manufacturing will be severely punished!

In the 28th year of Xuanping’s reign, the Datang Health Department began to support rural doctors, uniformly train the Jianghu Langzhong, and provide subsidies so that rural areas can also have the most basic medical security.

More importantly, the Datang Empire has established a large number of Chinese herbal medicine planting bases with huge output directly through the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises and the Royal Assets Division, ensuring that there is a sufficient supply of various Chinese herbal medicine raw materials on the market.

After many means, the current medical level of Datang is still quite good, and from the perspective of traditional medicine, it has basically reached the peak that can be achieved.

The development of modern medicine is more rapid. Even if there are no modern medicines, many theories in modern medicine have finally developed into disciplines such as prevention, hygiene, and nursing. These do not seem to directly treat diseases, but they have a huge effect, because this It can make people less likely to get sick and increase their chances of recovery.

Nowadays, people in Datang know that many diseases are incurable, and many diseases can be prevented through good hygiene habits and environment. Therefore, people in Datang now pay great attention to urban hygiene and personal hygiene, even more than when the country was founded. The official push is more focused.

In the past, the Tang people did not like to contact with the natives, purely because they despised the natives, but now the Tang people do not like to contact with the natives, and it is not about contempt or the like.

When traditional medicine and modern medicine are combined, Datang's current medical development is quite rapid, and the overall medical situation is relatively complete. Except for some diseases, such as diseases caused by some microorganisms, diseases caused by viruses have no cure. In addition to treatment, many other minor ailments and pains can be treated.

This is important!

The development of the Datang medical system and the development of medicine are one of the two most important reasons for the substantial increase in the average life expectancy of the Datang people.

If the poor still die because of poor food, then the rich and powerful are not short of food, but their average lifespan is still not long.

For example, the family of Philip II!

Philip II's first wife died at the age of eighteen, and the third wife, Elizabeth's mother, also lived at the age of twenty-five, thanks to the treatment of Dr. She died, but even so, she died the year after giving birth to Elizabeth.

Philip II's fourth wife also lived to be only thirty-one years old.

Philip II had quite a few sons and daughters, but very few of them survived until now.

His only son alive today is Philip III.

Daughter is better, there are three adult daughters, including Elizabeth.

It can be seen from the family of Philip II that the mortality rate of minors is very high. Even if a powerful family has ten children, five may not be able to grow up alive.

At the same time, the risk of pregnancy and childbirth for women in this era is also quite high~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Philip II's first wife died of postpartum hemorrhage, the third wife Elizabeth also died of dystocia, and the fourth wife Anna Died due to pregnancy.

Among the four successive wives of Philip II, except for Mary I, Queen of Scots, who only had the name of husband and wife but not the reality of husband and wife, the other three all died of pregnancy and childbirth!

Philip II is the king, this is the case, even more so for ordinary people!

This shows the huge impact of medical backwardness on life expectancy.

People do not have to eat, and medicine is backward, so the average life expectancy will naturally not be as high as that.

Today, the average life expectancy in Europe is about 30 years old, and some areas in war-torn areas, such as central France, are estimated to be in their 20s.
