There are a few famous doctors in ancient China, such as Bianqi, Li Shizhen, Sun Simiao, Zhang Zhongjing and so on, but to say that the most famous, I am afraid that it is not the "divine doctor" Hua Tuo. So why is Hua Tuo known as the "divine doctor"?
In fact, there are only two things that make a "divine doctor".
One of them is his excellent medical skills.
As a doctor, you have to be able to see the disease, will see the disease, this is the most basic conditions, obviously, Hua Tuo is absolutely consistent with this point.
As a famous medical doctor in Chinese history, Hua Tuo was the first to introduce the concept of "open-heart surgery", and that was at a time when there were no anesthetics or high-end technology. How many doctors could perform open-heart surgeries in the big hospitals of today, not to mention that time?
At the same time, Hua Tuo was also the inventor of the "anaesthesia", the originator of the ancient clinical anaesthetics, and the caesarean section surgery he performed is regarded as a miracle of ancient medicine.
In addition to surgery, Hua Tuo was also the early "spokesman" for aerobics, and he created the "Five Animal Circus", which not only strengthens the body, but also prolongs life, and is called the "Chinese version of yoga. "
This is the first time that I have seen a Chinese version of yoga.
The second is medical ethics.
As a doctor, the medical skill is not enough, you also have to have a pot to help the world's good heart. In fact, at the time of Hua Tuo, there were two other doctors who were equally famous, Dong Feng and Zhang Zhongjing, who were also known as the "Three Divine Doctors of Jian'an".
Only Dong Feng lived in seclusion on Mount Lu for many years, and his medical skills were excellent, but he did not come out of the world, while Zhang Zhongjing was obsessed with medicine and buried his head in the study of "The Treatise on Typhoid Diseases", and only Hua Tuo, who practiced medicine on his back for many years and helped the common people to see the sick for free, encountered all kinds of difficult and complicated diseases during this period, and greatly increased his own knowledge while he was saving the lives of the injured and the dying.
At the same time, because of this experience of traveling around the world, the story of Hua Tuo's treatment of the sick and saving people spread, and over time, there is also the "divine doctor".
So, Hua Tuo can be called "divine doctor", both people's recognition of his medical skills, but also people's respect for his medical ethics.
