Chapter 267: Doctor Qin asked Shen Jiaren about the basics of studying medicine

267 Doctor Qin asked Shen Jiaren about the basics of studying medicine

When Shen Jiaren and Doctor Qin walked to the back and started to turn over the papers, Doctor Qin suddenly stopped and said to Shen Jiaren behind him, "Xiao Shen, do you know what the most basic things are in studying medicine?"

Shen Jiaren didn't expect that Doctor Qin would ask her this question, and she replied in surprise, "Ah?"

Doctor Qin turned around and said to Shen Jiaren solemnly, "What is the most basic thing in practicing medicine?"

Shen Jiaren looked at Doctor Qin's particularly serious expression, lowered her eyes and thought for a while before answering, "Medical ethics?"

Doctor Qin shook his head.

Shen Jiaren then replied, "Is it medical skills?"

Doctor Qin then shook his head.

Shen Jiaren said doubtfully, "Then I'm not sure. It's neither medical ethics nor medical skills. Without ethics and ability, what else could it be?"

Doctor Qin looked into Shen Jiaren's eyes and said solemnly, "Be careful and attentive."

Shen Jiaren I don’t quite understand. Isn’t being serious and careful part of medical ethics?

Doctor Qin looked at Shen Jiaren's puzzled expression and explained to her, "As for medical ethics, even ordinary people can't restrain their morals, let alone doctors?"

A doctor is just an ordinary person with a skill. The only difference is that a doctor's skill is to save lives and heal the wounded.

Throughout history, there have been countless doctors. Whether from medical records or prescriptions collected by various doctors, it is not difficult to see that some doctors used abnormal means to make money or for certain desires.

But this does not mean that they are not good doctors, they just take a different path from ordinary people.

The most common example is poison. Although medicine and poison are inseparable, there is a big difference between specialization and understanding.

For example, in some places in Yunnan Province, according to written records, due to the local living environment and plant reasons, the local medical profession is more of a witch doctor, and the prescriptions they use are mostly to fight poison with poison.

You can't say that others are wrong, because if you were in their shoes, you might not have the same ability as them.

That’s why many medical books describe the same principle when they talk about certain places and certain symptoms.

Regionality leads to regionality, and regionality leads to differences. &34;

Although Shen Jiaren didn't understand, she still nodded. In the plant book she was memorizing, the growth environment of many medicinal herbs was limited to a certain place, so Shen Jiaren could understand what Doctor Qin said, but what did this have to do with being careful and attentive?

Before Shen Jiaren could ask, Doctor Qin continued, "Why do I say it is serious and careful? It is because, looking at the medical records handed down from ancient times to the present, it is not to say that there are no roughly similar pulse records, but if you delve into the treatment prescriptions, you will find that they are very different. Although later generations can improve the prescriptions based on the predecessors, this is not the main reason."

Shen Jiaren saw that Doctor Qin paused for a moment and really wanted to ask curiously, why, isn't it that the pulse case is roughly the same, why can't the same prescription be used?

Doctor Qin saw Shen Jiaren looking at him curiously, and then said, "Since you are so curious, guess why?"

Shen Jiaren thought for a moment and replied, "Is it because they are different? The patients are different, the doctors are different, and the medicinal materials may also be different?"

When Doctor Qin heard Shen Jiaren's answer, although it didn't hit the point, it was almost on the point, and he thought she was teachable, so he smiled at Shen Jiaren and continued, "The answer is half right."
