Chapter 777 Ethics vs. Human Life
(Thanks to book friend 2019020207022430557 for the monthly ticket~)
Li Sanniang heard what Ning Yizheng said about Dr. Huang’s exhumation of other people’s bodies. She was unlucky to meet him in the middle of the night. The descendants who visited the graves to worship were arrested and taken to the Jingzhao Mansion. It was then exposed that the doctors at the Imperial Medical Office had used the corpses of dead people to learn anatomy and improve their medical skills under her guidance. Not surprised.
After all, when she was doing this, she had already anticipated the consequences that might happen in the future.
Medicine, regardless of whether it is Chinese medicine or Western medicine, is an empirical subject.
Except for a few people with extraordinary talents, if most ordinary people want to acquire superb skills, they must rely on a large amount of experience.
As the oil seller in the textbook said: "Nothing but familiarity."
Even in modern society, many people in many areas still have little regard for autopsies and cremations. This is unacceptable, not to mention that today's feudal society in the Tang Dynasty pays attention to "the body, hair and skin are received by the parents and do not dare to damage".
In modern society, the anatomy teachers used by clinical medical students in Western hospitals were bought from family members in the early years, and most of them were donated later.
In the Tang Dynasty at this time, the corpses of dead people were used to learn anatomy and understand the joints, muscles, blood vessels, bones, etc. of the human body, but this was not the case before Li Sanniang made a fuss in order to save people. Blowing into a person's chest or mouth is even more serious. It can even be said to challenge the bottom line of society at this time.
"But Dr. Huang Donggang?"
Li Sanniang's expression remained unchanged and she asked Ning Yizheng for the name of the offending doctor. Her performance made Ning Yizheng a little surprised. Logically speaking, if he knew it, Li Sanniang should have been so frightened by this matter that she didn't dare to say a word.
As a result, Li Sanniang was not afraid to say anything now, and actually had the time to ask Doctor Ning about the name of the offending doctor.
However, Ning Yizheng still responded to Li Sanniang's words in a good voice: "It's him. Does Dr. Li know this person?"
Li Sanniang nodded, "Of course I do.
When I had a lecture with a doctor from the Department of Ulcer Medicine earlier, this person was the most attentive in listening to the lecture, and he even asked me some in-depth questions after class.
We have spoken. Dr. Huang had privately dissected pigs (dolphins) and dogs earlier because he wanted to understand the direction of human muscles, bones and blood vessels. ”
Li Sanniang’s words frightened Ning Yizheng. Ning Yizheng was a serious traditional Chinese medicine doctor. He had never thought of dissecting mammals. Ning Yizheng was at the Imperial Medical Office. He is not from the Department of Surgery, he doesn’t even know how to do acupuncture, but he is unique in compatibility, so he managed to get an official position like a medical doctor through his qualifications.
“I don’t know, that doctor Huang is here now. But okay?
What is the crime of stealing someone else’s body? ”
Dr. Ning had not yet recovered from the dissection of similar corpses. The person who answered Li Sanniang's question was Dr. Sun who was sitting next to him: "Dr. Huang suffered some pain, but at least he is a high-ranking official in the Imperial Medical Office. The people in Zhao Mansion don't dare to go too far. He is still in jail in Jingzhao Mansion.
It's hard to say what the sentence will be. It depends on what the governor will give him. It will be lenient. It's easy to say that it's just a matter of suffering some physical pain and paying some money;
If it is taken seriously, there may be a risk of death."
"Doctor Sun, Dr. Li, now. Why should we care about Dr. Huang's life or death?
What is important now is what our Imperial Medical Office should do.
What to do? How can this problem be solved without causing outrage?
The most important thing is to protect our Imperial Medical Office! "
Ning Yizheng's shouting interrupted the conversation between Li Sanniang and Dr. Sun discussing the fate of Dr. Huang, and instead told the serious story of Ning Yizheng calling Li Sanniang to solve the problem today.
Li Sanniang lowered her head and began to think. Dr. Sun didn’t reply, but frowned and thought about something. This made Dr. Ning anxious. In the entire hall, Dr. Ning was the only one left muttering in a low voice, "What should I do?" How to do this well? "The voice came out.
After a few breaths, Li Sanniang raised her head and looked at Dr. Sun, "Doctor Li, what do you think? Is there any way? Li Sanniang turned to look at Dr. Ning who was asking the question. She did not answer the question directly. Instead, she asked: "When I was teaching the doctors at the Imperial Medical Office to learn human anatomy, I asked Dr. Sun about the use of ownerless corpses." .
I wonder if Medical Superintendent Sun reported the matter to Director Wang and knew about it at that time? "
Doctor Sun nodded, and Li Sanniang continued: "I don't know if Wang Shuzheng has ever been secretly confiscated by a saint?
Does the saint know about this? "
Both Doctor Ning and Doctor Sun were stunned for a moment. Doctor Ning also hurriedly went to see Doctor Sun, "If Wang Shuzheng had told the sage, then with the sage's permission, the Imperial Medical Office would have a backer, and those old doctors would No matter what Confucianism says, he can't do anything to the Imperial Medical Office. ”
With such thoughts in his mind, Dr. Ning Zheng saw Doctor Sun shaking his head: "I did tell Shu Zheng about this at that time. Although Shu Zheng did not agree at the time, I heard that this method can be used to improve medical skills and treat people on the battlefield." Soldier, I still agreed.
But I didn’t ask whether it would be handed down to the saint afterwards. I really don’t know.”
Li Sanniang nodded to express her knowledge, and then asked the two of them. : "In preparation for the commendation ceremony next month, has the Imperial Medical Office made comparisons in advance?
I heard what Ning Yizheng said before. The news brought back by the army this time clearly stated that this battle was Under the treatment of the doctors at the Imperial Medical Department, the number of soldiers' battle casualties has been reduced a lot, right?"
"I know this, I am in charge of this.
I have calculated that due to the medical techniques of disinfection, hemostasis, bandaging and suturing taught by Sanniangzi, the number of battle casualties has dropped by 60%. If we only talk about survival, nearly 70% of the people who would have died in the past have been reduced. They all survived this time. "
"Everyone, what does the Tang Dynasty rely on to be able to turn the surrounding countries into a celestial kingdom?
Who can defeat the Turks this time? Who protected our land and civilians on the border of Datang?
Who guarded the gate of our country, Datang?
In this world, which is more important, the living or the dead?
What enables the Imperial Medical Office to occupy a place among the three provinces and six ministries?
Etiquette is the most important thing, so among all things, isn’t the life of a living person important?
Which one is more important, ethics or human life? ”
Li Sanniang’s repeated questions were really deafening. At least Ning Yizheng, Sun Yijian and Qiuxiang who were present, as well as the two Langguan sent by the Imperial Medical Office standing nearby, were a little unable to resist.
"Ning Yizheng, don't you think that it was exposed that the doctors of the Department of Ulcer Medicine of the Imperial Medical Department used dead bodies to learn medical skills? As long as you hand me over and nail Dr. Huang to death, you can keep the Imperial Medical Department safe." Right? ”
Doctor Ning looked like he had been told what he was thinking, which made Li Sanniang feel a little want to laugh.
"Ning Yizheng, don't be naive. The essence of the problem is not this at all. The key to solving the problem is to occupy the right to speak and unite interests.
The military attaché group with interests in the Imperial Medical Office, The hundreds of thousands of soldiers who are really going to the battlefield, and the hundreds of thousands and millions of family members behind them are what we should fight for.
The words of the civil servants and old scholars, if they can kill people with their pens, we will fight for them. Are you going to be caught without hesitation? ”

======================
I have been really busy recently. After I got home, I spent more than an hour and spent two weeks doing nothing. The floor was swept twice and mopped once, and it is now shiny.
Fortunately, I live alone and I don’t mind being dirty. As long as I don’t wear glasses, I can’t see the hair and dust on the floor.
It’s really dry in the north. The baguette I bought a few days ago is now hard and I can only soak it in milk and eat it.
