Hua Tuo as the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty is famous as a miracle doctor, but finally was killed by Cao Cao, how many people for this regret, think Cao Cao suspicious character ruined a miracle doctor. Unbeknownst to them, the real reason was because of Hua Tuo's repeated threats.
When Hua Tuo was a young man, he was also an ambitious young man, "Three Kingdoms" records that he was "well-versed in several scriptures", once Pei minister Chen Gui and Huang Wan recommended that he go to the filial piety Lian, the lieutenant, but he refused, then Hua Tuo was high-minded and proud, naturally look down on the paperwork and other official positions.
Hua Tuo had been practicing medicine for several years, and his reputation was getting bigger and bigger, but in the process of practicing medicine, he had met many dignitaries, although he was very skillful in medicine, but in the process, he y felt the low status of the doctor, and he waited for the chance to be an official again in the process of regretting.
Then, when the opportunity finally came, Cao Cao summoned Hua Tuo to see him for a head cold, and Hua Tuo, seeing the opportunity, told Cao Cao that it would be difficult to treat him in the short term, and that even long-term treatment would only last for a few more years.
Under the ancient medical conditions at that time, the "head wind" disease, Hua Tuo Zhou as a generation of famous doctors, is also very difficult to cure, but also not to his words to prolong the years of death is approaching, it is clear that there is an element of threat in. But Cao Cao recognized Hua Tuo's intention, and Cao Cao told his subordinates that Hua Tuo wanted to use the opportunity to see him to raise his own price.
Hua Tuo failed to achieve his goal, so he asked Cao Cao for leave to go home, saying that his wife was sick, only to never return and hold Cao Cao hostage again. As a result, Cao Cao was furious, and ordered his men to go and check it out, saying that if Hua Tuo's wife was really sick, he would be sent forty ducats of small beans, and if she wasn't, he would be brought in to be punished for his crimes.
Hua Tuo's wife, naturally, was not sick. Cao Cao was furious and asked Hua Tuo to treat her, so Hua Tuo offered to split her head with a sharp axe to remove the "wind saliva" and get rid of the "root of the disease". Under the ancient medical conditions, there was no sterilization, no series of medical equipments, and even in ancient times, it was not clear which neurological system was in charge of each area of the human brain, so an intracranial infection was enough to kill Cao Cao at that time. It was clearly undesirable. At the time, Hua Tuo, as a man of high achievement in the art of medicine, must have been well aware of this situation, and his intention in doing so clearly had an element of threat in it.
Cao Cao was suspicious by nature, and naturally would not allow someone to blow his brains out. Cao Cao later sent Hua Tuo to the Heavenly Prison. Hua Tuo's life was in jeopardy, so he recorded his life's medical achievements in prison, which was naturally left unattended at the time, and was entrusted to his jailer. But the jailer, fearing Cao Cao's majesty, naturally did not dare to accept it.
Hua Tuo, who had no hope of getting a job, and whose life was in danger, had no one to inherit his medical skills, so he threw the pamphlet recording his medical skills into a fire pit in sadness and despair, and it was only then that the jailer regretted it, and snatched up a pamphlet recording the healing of beasts.
Single regardless of Hua Tuo's character, character, is that his medical skills are indeed very clever, Hua Tuo did not leave a specialized work, which is a major loss in our country's medical.
