Chapter 360 Arrangement
The East African monarchs and ministers communicated in German throughout the whole process. The Far East Assistance Mission could not understand what they were saying at all, which made them very nervous. After all, the fate of themselves and others was now in the hands of others.
Bellade: "There are two main levels of arrangements for doctors. The first is gathering. In the practice of our Ministry of Health, we found that traditional Chinese medicine is a system, and introducing a system requires building a framework. The framework is not What can be done by one or two doctors requires the cooperation of a group of people with relatively authority and absolute ability.
We in East Africa already have a group of doctors from the Far East, but they are often not professional enough. There is a unique term in the Far East called "Tulangzhong". Tulangzhong means people who work as doctors in rural areas.
Many people have ancestors who have been studying medicine for a long time, so they have ancestral skills. They treat people with secret recipes. Although they don't have a doctor's license, they can still treat diseases and save people, and they have rich experience in treating many patients.
However, because of the way of dissemination of teachings by words and deeds, the theory will inevitably cause deviations, and may even cause extremely serious knowledge lapses due to family changes. This has led us to find that some doctors use biased prescriptions and treatments when dealing with the same disease. , this kind of deviation can be good or bad, and it is extremely unstable.
So the Kingdom should formulate unified standards for traditional Chinese medicine. On the one hand, doctors with real talents and knowledge should lead the formulation of standards, and on the other hand, the system should be constantly improved and corrected with reference to actual cases. ”
Health Minister Belred has been dealing with doctors from the Far East all year round, and traditional Chinese medicine has a complete theoretical system. Its uniqueness lies in the holistic view of "harmony between nature and man" and "correspondence between nature and man" as well as syndrome differentiation and treatment.
This theory is very attractive to Belred, so he believes that traditional Chinese medicine focuses on unity and coordination, while Western medicine is good at targeted treatment. This is mainly reflected in the fact that traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to conditioning and does not rely too much on drugs. , give full play to human body functions, and Western medicine relies too much on drugs and surgery in this regard. The two systems are currently put together for Belred to choose. He will definitely choose to believe in Chinese medicine, after all, the error rate is higher
Constantine: "What you say makes sense, but our European medicine also has some merits. "Are you specific? Constantine can't tell, what is so remarkable about it!
Belred helped him clear up his doubts: "Our European medicine is good at surgery, especially in the military, which has obvious effects on treating trauma. However, Chinese medicine is also not bad in this regard. For example, when dealing with fractures, I have personally witnessed the Far East The doctor is good at a bone-setting treatment method that is stable, accurate, skillful, and fast. He uses skill and multiple coherent techniques to quickly and accurately reduce the patient's pain while avoiding the disadvantages of scarring caused by surgery. Unfortunately, Wang. There is currently only one such doctor in the country. I believe there are still doctors with this technology in the Far East. I don’t know if there is one among this group of people this time.”
The Far East orthopedic surgeon Belgrade mentioned. He is currently employed at the First Hospital of the First Town. After all, such talent will definitely be given priority to the political center of the Kingdom. The East African government has specially arranged a dozen apprentices for it. It is hoped that this technology can be passed down and promoted in East Africa. .
In this era, Europe mainly relies on plaster bandages to deal with fractures, but some fundamental problems cannot be solved: obviously looking at the broken bones that have been connected, and opening the plaster, it turns out that the bones are either longer, or they are different from the original ones. Different lengths!
So East Africa took the lead in combining Far Eastern bone setting technology with European plaster bandages. This combination of Chinese and Western treatment methods has become a unique treatment method in East Africa and is one of the current medical examples in East Africa.
Belred continued: "At the same time, when dealing with common cases like malaria, the application of Chinese herbal medicine can also speed up the recovery of patients. This has been verified by a large number of real cases, so combining Far Eastern and European medical techniques It is definitely beneficial to the development of the Kingdom’s medical industry. Not only that, but industrial development is also beneficial to our unification of labeling, mainly the development of unified standards for medical devices and equipment. In this regard, we in East Africa have a natural advantage.” Belred said. Not a word It’s nonsense. Currently, in the field of scalpels, the Hechingen daily necessities company, which is famous for producing Gillette razors, has the absolute authority in the production of scalpels. The use of replaceable fast blades in surgery is definitely a killer. Unfortunately, it only has East Africa has been fully promoted, but many doctors in Europe still prefer scalpels that can be used repeatedly. Scalpels can be sharpened and used again. After all, the scalpel blades produced by the Hechingen Daily Necessities Company cost more. Surgery The knife is not a razor, so I am afraid of scratching my face.
At this time, Constantine suddenly thought that there is a relatively popular medical system in East Africa. The reason why European medicine exists in East Africa is normal. After all, the East African Kingdom is also a "German country", and the Chinese medicine doctor is his son Dali. Progress, but there are still a large number of Arab doctors in the coastal areas of East Africa, including the first towns.
Arab medicine is also quite famous. The ancient Arab Empire spanned three continents and absorbed medical knowledge from the Far East, ancient Rome, India, Persia, Europe, Egypt and other regions, and produced the masterpiece "Medical Code" , it can even be said that the "Medical Code" laid the foundation of European medicine. Most of the Arab doctors in East Africa come from the Sultanate of Zanzibar. In particular, there are dozens of Arab medical clinics in Dar es Salaam, providing medical services to tourists and businessmen.
So Constantine suddenly said: "Belred, can we organize an exchange between palace doctors (Western medicine), Far Eastern doctors and Arab doctors to promote the development of medical services in East Africa. "
Belred: "Of course, Your Majesty, but this matter will have to be discussed later. I think that the Far Eastern doctors should be familiar with German first, so that the three parties can communicate. "
After all, tripartite medicine, Arab doctors and German doctors have a lot of similarities, but Chinese medicine is completely unique. Many medical terms and theories can make people collapse. If the language is not interoperable, it will basically be useless. It's like a deaf person listening to a play.
Constantine thought the same thing. It was better for everyone to get together in East Africa for a while and then consider this matter later, so he said: "Okay! Let's slow down this matter for a while, and you can continue."< br>
Belred continued: "I just talked about two levels. The first is gathering, and the second is dispersion. If medicine wants to spread, it must cultivate talents. There are two ways to cultivate medical talents. One is One is the apprenticeship, and the other is the academy. Based on the current actual situation in the East African Kingdom, I think we can increase the promotion of the apprenticeship system. There is a shortage of medical resources in East Africa, especially the shortage of doctors. This group of doctors can be dispersed and sent to various parts of East Africa for treatment. At the same time, Arrange for students to follow and study. In this regard, it is best to have bilingual East African children to follow up and study. Medical schools can also start preparations. However, medical schools can only be fixed in one place. In this way, the number of patients is limited, and they will focus more on theoretical learning and lack of Clinical experience, but suitable for mass production of doctors.”
Constantine: “You are right, the apprenticeship system is still the mainstream in Europe, but the college is also a clear trend. We in East Africa can do this. Walking on two legs, at the same time.”
So in the conversation between the monarch and the minister, the fate of this group of Far Eastern doctors was decided. They will be divided into two groups, one part will guide the formulation of East African traditional Chinese medicine standards and the other. A medical school will be established, and a group of clinics will be set up across East Africa to promote the development of local medical services through apprenticeships.
