"Don't use it carelessly!" Senior Hua was embarrassed.
Mo Hospital had no shortage of medical books. More than ten medical books were placed in front of Senior Hua, and the descriptions of croton were all annotated not to be used carelessly.
"You have to be careful when using medicine!" Sun Simiao sighed thoughtfully.
"And in the process of decoction, the first batch of decoction is the most effective, and the subsequent decoctions are less effective. Not only will it cost a lot of money, but the uneven efficacy will not help the patient get better," Meton said.
"And the ink medicine maximizes the efficacy of the herbs, and at the same time, reduces the cost by at least half, reducing the patient's burden."
"Really?" Sun Simiao was shocked. Even though he was well-educated, he could not help but be shocked when he heard the news.
In the Great Tang, what was the greatest difficulty in treating a patient? On the one hand, it was the lack of medical skills. On the other hand, it was the exorbitant cost of medicine. After working hard for twenty years, one's illness would cause them to return to their previous state. This wasn't a joke that only existed in the modern era. In the Great Tang, there were plenty of families that fell due to illness.
If the cost of medicine could be reduced by half, it would be the greatest blessing for the common people.
"Furthermore, the Mo family is currently developing ink medicine that can be stored for a long period of time. This way, patients will only need to buy some medicine for minor ailments and take it at home on time." Morton mentioned another irresistible advantage of the ink medicine.
Sun Simiao's mind was floating. He had never been so excited before. Today's trip to Mo Hospital was an eye-opener. He had been obsessed with medicine all his life, and he was determined to practice medicine to help the people.
But he found that the number of patients he had treated in his life would be far surpassed by the Mo Hospital in no time.
"This trip to Chang 'an has been an eye-opener! It's really worth the trip. "Sun Simiao sighed. Sun Simiao was amazed by the wonderful ideas of the Mo family. Each of them played an immeasurable role in the development of medicine.
Senior Hua also looked at Meton with a gratified face. Meeting Meton was the greatest fortune of the Mo family.
Sun Simiao's expression suddenly changed. He looked at Merton and said, "Old Man, I heard that the Mo family has implemented free medical treatment. Is it true?"
At Sun Simiao's position, there were very few people who could be remembered by him. When Sun Simiao first heard that the Mo family's medical treatment was free, he remembered Meton's name.
The Mo family practiced medicine to help the people, but it could not escape the most practical problem, that was that there were always some people who could not afford medical treatment and medicine. Although Sun Simiao had waived patients' medical fees many times, it was nothing compared to the five thousand people who were exempted from paying for medical treatment all year round.
"Brother Sun, you've misunderstood. It's not that all medical expenses are waived. It's just that more than ten common diseases are waived," Elder Hua explained.
"This is only for this year. In the future, the Mo Family Village will increase the number of patients receiving free medical treatment every year. We aim to achieve the goal of free medical treatment for the entire village in five years." Moton added fuel to the fire.
"Free medical treatment for more than 10 diseases? Free medical treatment for the whole village in five years?"
Hearing Moton's words, Sun Simiao was not disappointed. Instead, he nodded his head in approval. If Moton had immediately promised that the Mo Family would be free of medical treatment, Sun Simiao would have been suspicious. However, Moton had gradually increased the amount of medical treatment, which proved that Moton was sincere in wanting to achieve free medical treatment for the entire village.
"Thanks to you, Young Master! The Mo family is really lucky. "
Sun Simiao nodded again and again. The free medical treatment for the Mo family opened a new door for the Mo family. It was simply a great world for the Mo family.
"Take care of yourself when you are poor, and help the world when you are rich! I don't have such great ability. It's already my limit to protect the whole village. "Meton sighed.
"It's enough!" Sun Simiao nodded.
Although it was only a village, it pointed out the direction for the Mo family.
"But in addition, Mo Hospital also has a series of discounts. For example, the students of the Imperial College and the government schools in Chang 'an can get medical treatment at half price. As for the people in Chang' an, as long as they show their household registration, they can get medical treatment first and pay later." Senior Hua praised Meton again.
"Oh!"
Sun Simiao looked at Meton in surprise.
"What if someone can't pay for medical treatment?" Sun Simiao asked. When Sun Simiao met this kind of situation in the nightclub, it was usually Sun Simiao who generously waived medical treatment. The purpose of Sun Simiao was to see Meton's character.
"That's easy. The Mo family is in need of manpower. If they get better, they can work for the Mo family to pay off their debts!" Meton waved his hand.
"Hahaha, you are indeed Mo Jiazi. You won't lose anything!" Sun Simiao laughed. Although this method was out of his expectation, it was the answer that satisfied him the most.
Sun Simiao knew how precious it was for some families who were suffering. Timely treatment was likely to save a family.
"But it's strange. In the past few months, none of the patients refused to pay after they were cured." Senior Hua sighed.
It turned out that Elder Hua had been worried when Morton insisted on implementing this system. However, the final result had surprised him. Every patient who had difficulty in treatment would either have their money repaid quickly or go to the Mo Family Village to work to repay their debts.
Sun Simiao sighed again and again. It was no wonder that Mo Hospital overtook all the big medical centers in Chang 'an. Compared with the traditional small medical centers, Mo Hospital had a big advantage.
"Sun Simiao of the Mo family, thank you for your help!"
Sun Simiao solemnly bowed to Meton. This meant that he approved of the Mo Hospital's model.
"Senior Sun, you don't need to thank me." Meton quickly avoided the bow.
"No, this Old Man has been practicing medicine for his whole life, but he always felt that it was difficult to move forward. Today's visit to Mo Hospital has enlightened this Old Man. It's like knowing the truth in the morning and dying in the evening is enough." Sun Simiao seemed to have found a successor and wanted to retire.
Meton suddenly became anxious. His mission was to keep Sun Simiao. If Sun Simiao felt that he had found a successor and wanted to retire to the mountains and write books, how could he let that happen?
"Senior Sun, you are overpraising Mo Hospital. But I have confirmed that Mo Hospital has a huge flaw. If it is not solved, the so-called medical treatment will be a joke." Meton said with a sad face.
"Huh?"
Sun Simiao and Senior Hua were stunned. They looked at Meton in disbelief. In their opinion, Mo Hospital was the most perfect medical system. But Meton said that there was a huge flaw.
"What flaw?" Senior Hua asked anxiously.
Mo Hospital was his blood, sweat, and tears. If there was such a huge flaw, why didn't Meton say so earlier?
Looking at Elder Hua's anxious expression, Modun could only apologize in his heart. He cupped his hands towards the two elders and said, "Ever since the Mo Family Hospital opened for business, I've only given Modun one task, and that is to count the number of patients."
Sun Simiao and Senior Hua were puzzled. They signaled Meton to continue.
"However, the results surprised me. Among the people who went to see the doctor, 80% were men, and only 20% were women. As for diseases that required close examination by doctors, there were almost no women who came to seek medical treatment. Most of the time, the men spoke, and the doctors used their experience to prescribe medicine. "Meton said with a serious face.
"What's wrong with that?" Sun Simiao was puzzled. To him, this was normal. This was what he usually did when he was seeing patients.
Senior Hua smiled bitterly, "Brother Sun, you may not know this, but when Mo Hospital was first established, in order to reduce disputes, other than signing a medical contract before treating patients, there was also an iron law. That is, the doctors had to treat the patients personally before prescribing medicine."
"This …" Sun Simiao was in a dilemma.
On one hand, Mo Hospital's method was not wrong. After all, the doctors only spoke about the patients verbally. If they did not treat the patients personally, there was a high possibility of misdiagnosis. On the other hand, there was a difference between men and women. This was a problem that could not be solved.
"In other words, as long as more than half of the women fall ill and are unable to receive timely treatment, or even not receive treatment at all, the School of Medicine is known as the School of Medicine. If so many patients are left untreated, how can we achieve the School of Medicine?" Morton said in one breath.
"If you have an idea, just say it. Don't keep us in suspense!" Senior Hua was familiar with Meton's personality, so he said bluntly.
"Female doctors! Meton said simply.
"Female doctors?" The two elders were puzzled.
"That's right. If we want to completely solve this problem, we have to train female doctors! Only female doctors and female patients can completely solve this problem. I know that Senior Sun specializes in gynecology and pediatrics! I hope that Senior Sun can train a group of outstanding female doctors for the Medical School, "Meton said to Sun Simiao. He finally revealed his fox tail.
"That's right!" Senior Hua said excitedly. If female doctors were to treat female patients, all the problems would be solved.
"That's not possible! Old Man also thought of this method. He once took in ten female disciples and taught them everything. In the end, after they got married, they gave up on medicine and stayed at home to help their husbands and children. " Sun Simiao said in a low voice. There was once a female disciple who continued to practice medicine after marriage. However, she could not stand the opposition of her husband's family and only persisted for three months before giving up.
"Sigh!" Senior Hua also felt a wave of regret. This was such a good method, but it could not be implemented because of the reality.
"Is that so? From what I see, it's not difficult to promote female doctors? "Meton said with a smile.
"Hmph!"
Senior Hua snorted coldly. Meton did not dare to keep him in suspense anymore.
"The world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit. The reason why there are so few female doctors is because of the lack of profit. I want to ask Senior Hua, if there's a female doctor who has been taught by Senior Sun, how much would you be willing to pay to hire her?" Meton asked.
"A monthly salary of 100 strings of coins!" Senior Hua said without hesitation. This was Senior Hua's salary, and it was also the highest salary in Mo Hospital.
"Hiss!" Sun Simiao gasped. Of course, he knew how generous a monthly salary of 100 strings of coins was. It was comparable to the salary of a Rank 5 official. However, there were not many people who could resist this temptation.
"Even if there's a generous salary to attract female doctors, a female doctor will still have to endure a lot of gossip if she shows her face in public," Sun Simiao said.
"That's not difficult. Mo Hospital will have an independent hospital dedicated to female doctors. All the apprentices and odd jobs will be female.
Furthermore, if Senior Sun is willing to take on this responsibility, Meton is willing to personally speak to the Emperor and confer the title of a female doctor. It's not impossible for her to be conferred a noble title in the future. "
Meton had money, status, and completely stopped the gossip. Sun Simiao could not refuse the offer that Meton threw out.
