Doctors in the late Ming Dynasty

Zhang Jiebin felt a little pleased when he heard that he was also a township doctor and that he was a famous doctor. He then asked, "What level is Senior Brother Yan at?"

"Yan Pingzhi, it's at the prefectural level. It's hard to say anything else. The doctors in our Tai Hospital are at the county level at the lowest." Gong Tingxian said with a smile.

When everyone heard this, the goal suddenly became clear. This was a position that had never been seen before. Before, it was just a general classification of famous doctors, quack doctors and ordinary doctors. Now Gong Tingxian proposed that famous doctors can also be divided into several categories, which can give everyone a goal to strive for.

As you advance up the level, the comparison of strength becomes clearer.

Zhang Jiebin said: "Does it mean that famous doctors can be divided into township level, town level, county level, state level, prefecture level, department level and national level?"

Gong Tingxian shook his head and said: "It can be divided in this way. There is no need to divide it in such detail below the county level. They have not yet become doctors. At most, they are considered to be quasi-famous doctors."

"Then Master Gong, Master Yang, and Uncle Xu, you should be considered at the national level, right?" Yan Pingzhi asked curiously. This was the first time he heard of such a classification system for famous doctors.

"Um, I'm just giving an example. It's just a family opinion. In order to let you have a clearer understanding of your own level, there is no public opinion." Gong Tingxian also didn't expect that everyone would be so interested in his casual remarks.

"How can it be said casually? I think this is very meaningful."

"Yes, official positions have different levels, and the level of medical skills should also be different."

"Such a clear method should be promoted nationwide."

"Not talking about the whole country, our hospital should first establish such a level."

"No, if we rate it this way, it will cause other problems."

"I think it's pretty good. In the past, I had to go through qualifications and be promoted after nine years of work. How can it be fair like medical skills?"

"If medical skills are high, does medical ethics have to be good? If I have high medical skills and can save one person a year, or if my medical skills are slightly lower but save 10,000 people a year, who is more important?"

……

Everyone started a heated discussion on this, and new rules will inevitably bring new problems.

Yan Pingzhi said at this time: "The evaluation standard for famous doctors does not need to be linked to official positions, but only to medical skills. It is just a private evaluation standard. It can also not be used to rate teachers at first, but only to us doctors and doctors. I think the junior brothers

Everyone will be very happy, and it can encourage everyone to make progress. If the effect is really not good, we can just abolish it when the time comes."

"Yes, yes, I agree with both hands." Zhang Chang immediately expressed his stance.

"Comment on us first, Master Gong, I'll go first." Zhang Jiebin volunteered.

Gong Tingxian shook his head with a smile and said: "It's not that simple! You have to wait until a year later for medicines. After I get to know you, I know your approximate level before I can evaluate them!"

"You can comment now, Master Gong, don't you know me well?" Zhang Jiebin disagreed.

"Even if you want to evaluate, you should take into account all the performances. Just because you have cured a few people does not necessarily mean you are a famous doctor. Even if you are a quack doctor, who has not cured a few difficult and complicated diseases? If you make a casual evaluation, it will only be a wasted reputation.

What’s the point?”

Gong Tingxian said earnestly.

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded solemnly, agreeing with this statement.

"Oh, one year has been so difficult. I really wish I knew it now." Zhang Chang sighed.

Zhang Jiebin was also filled with emotion. For some reason, he suddenly saw Yan Pingzhi standing aside and said quickly: "Master Gong, don't judge us first. You can judge our senior brother first!"

Everyone's eyes also lit up, and they all agreed: "Yes, senior brothers have been with you for many years, can they always give you a fair evaluation?"

Yan Pingzhi also looked at Gong Tingxian expectantly.

Gong Tingxian had no choice but to nod. After thinking for a long time and carefully recalling the performances of the doctors, he slowly said:

"Yan Pingzhi's medical skills are not bad. He has a solid foundation and is cautious, but he seldom uses them on his own. His overall strength can reach the government level. Being an official at his current level is actually very difficult, but since you don't want to become a regular doctor in government medicine,

Then if you practice in Taiyuan Hospital for a few more years, you will still be able to serve as an official."

Yan Pingzhi looked a little sad when he heard it. Sometimes people don't know the truth, but they just don't want to believe it. He whispered in a low voice: "Sure enough, not everyone is Xue Lizhai."

"As for Ma Shi, well, he has good talents and high medical attainments. But he is still young and lacks experience. His overall strength is at the state and county level."

Gong Tingxian ignored everyone's expressions, and then evaluated Ma Shilai. After evaluating his overall strength, everyone thought they were going to comment on the next one, but unexpectedly they started to evaluate Ma Shilai's acupuncture level again.

"And his level of acupuncture is higher. As far as I know, most doctors today are not good at acupuncture. Ma Shi's level of acupuncture may be above the prefectural level, and he deserves to be called a famous doctor at the division level."

After everyone heard this, they all showed the same expressions. They all felt that the state and county level was not worthy of Senior Brother Ma's great reputation. When they heard that acupuncture had reached the division level, which was only slightly lower than the national level.

If you put this in the neighboring small countries, they would be able to overwhelm other countries. Now it is just overpowering the younger generation of Taiyuan Hospital. Isn’t it more than enough?

After being questioned by everyone, Gong Tingxian commented on a few more people, and Zhang Jiebin suddenly asked about Chen Shigong.

"Yu Ren, although I have only met him a few times, in the past month, I have often heard Brother Ru Yuan talk about his performance in Yiyitang. I can give you a tentative evaluation."

"He is considered a specialist and cannot be evaluated as before. His surgical skills have definitely reached the national level. Brother Ru Yuan also discussed with us before to recommend him as a surgical officer. However, we consider that he is still young and his reputation is not good.

Xian, I want him to have a few more years of experience, so it’s logical.”

As soon as Gong Tingxian said this, everyone couldn't believe it. Who would have thought that the peers who eat, live, and study with them would almost become their teachers?

Especially Zhang Jiebin, who even outperformed Chen Shigong once, didn't think he was that special.

But after everyone thought about it, they felt that it was indeed the case. Chen Shigong's surgical level was very high. However, in Yiyi Tang, half of the people who came to see him for treatment were internal medicine patients. Chen Shigong's internal medicine level was about the same as theirs, and everyone was serious about it.

He majored in internal medicine but only lightly in surgery, so I didn’t think he was that great.

But if surgery is raised to the same level as internal medicine, then Chen Shigong will now have the demeanor of a great doctor.

"We old guys are convinced that if the current situation develops, maybe within a few years, Yu Ren will be able to establish a sect. Unexpectedly, in just six years after the reorganization of Tai Hospital, such an extraordinary talent would appear.

.It’s really a blessing for the surgery and a blessing for the hospital!”

As Gong Tingxian spoke, he couldn't help but sigh.

After the two departments of sores and ulcers were merged into the Department of Surgery six years ago, there has been no representative person who can handle it. Even now, the head of the Department of Surgery is transferred from another department who is better at surgery.<

/p>

That man was none other than Zhu Guozuo's father, Zhu Ru, an official in the Taiyuan Hospital.

It’s not that there are no professional talents in the two departments, there may not be any qualified staff. Before the reorganization, there were only four staff departments in the Taiyuan Hospital’s thirteen departments. Basically, they were in the five departments of Dafangmai, Women’s, Typhoid, Xiaofangmai and Acupuncture.

In the past two hundred years, there have been no officials in the other nine subjects, but there have been too few.

This is why Xu Chunfu and Yang Jishi want to recommend Chen Shigong so much. Surgery is so short of professional talents. If rated according to the level of famous doctors, there may be tens of thousands of surgical talents in the country, and only a handful of them may reach the department level or above. Most of them are limited to prefectures and counties, or even more.

Lower level medium.

In the past two hundred years, Xue Lizhai has made the greatest achievements in surgery, but Xue Lizhai's greatest achievement was in internal medicine. He only made good achievements in external surgery, gynecology, pediatrics, ophthalmology, oral dentistry and other aspects. Another representative figure, Shen Zhiwen,

He is a leprosy expert.

In other words, so far, there is no one who specializes in surgery. The surgical achievements of the Ming Dynasty were all achieved in the late Ming Dynasty, after the reorganization of Tai Hospital in the fifth year of Longqing, and Chen Shigong was the most representative person.

Today's ratings of famous doctors quickly spread throughout the eleven departments of Tai Hospital. Then everyone began to rate themselves. After several days of discussion and revision, a complete list of new students was released, which received the approval of most people.

Unanimous recognition is considered to be recognized. Because this list refers to the admission ranking, it is equivalent to the unanimous recognition of teachers and students.

List of quasi-famous doctors in eleven departments of Taiyuan Hospital:

Prefecture-level doctor: Chen Shigong (surgery).

There are eight state-level doctors: Liu Ji, Fang Yingshi, Zhao Taiding (woman), Tang Xinglu, Zhou Zongyue, Sun Chusheng (acupuncture), Wang Tingfu (Xiaofangmai), and Zhang Wuren (typhoid fever).

County-level doctors: Zhang Jiebin, Zheng Hui (acupuncture), Liu Mengsong, Zheng Yi, Liu Yu (Xiaofangmai), Huang Pu (typhoid fever), Yang Weizheng (typhoid fever) and seventeen others.

Township doctors: Li Xianfang, Zhang Chang, Zheng Jiao (acupuncture), Shen Xiang (typhoid), Cheng Yingchong (Xiaofangmai) and other 44 people.

There are a total of 70 people on the list, and 123 people participated in the evaluation. Fifty-eight people including Tang Xianzu, Zhao Fengxiang, Yu Yaori, Yang Jian, and Wang Dingxin did not participate in the rating. Otherwise, there should be more than 20 people on the list.
As soon as this list came out, it immediately became popular in Taiyuan Hospital. Soon everyone began to think about the list of doctors, doctors, and lecturers. However, no authoritative list was released, and it was not as wide-ranging and recognized as the list of new quasi-famous doctors.

So high.

As time went by, the list of quasi-famous doctors was gradually launched before March 3rd every year, and the participants included all the doctors and doctors in Taiyuan Hospital.

As the list grew, it was updated and eventually became a list of famous doctors.

The requirements for the list of famous doctors are becoming more and more stringent, and the time span is getting wider and wider, so it is becoming more and more difficult to get on the list. Everyone on the list must be recognized as a master of the generation. Even if time goes by, his name will only remain in history.

Exists.

Because the list is limited to the Ming Dynasty, it is also called the Ming Medical List.
