Chapter 319 Discrimination

This conversation went on until noon. Li San Niang started by talking about the most common type of swelling that ulcer doctors deal with, explaining in detail why it happens and what to do if it does.

Although Li San Niang was invited by Medical Supervisor Sun to give lectures, several surgeons had previously attended her lectures at the Medical Alliance.

However, wherever there are people, there is a world of its own.

Therefore, during this lecture, two "troublemakers" were very disgusted when they talked to Li San Niang, a woman who specialized in treating women's illnesses, about how to be a good ulcer doctor.

This is somewhat disrespectful in terms of language.

"May I ask, Madam Li, how did you know that this 'poison' is something outside, something we can't see?"

"This doctor has raised a good question. This poison is actually what we call 'evil,' I'm just using a different way of putting it."

In addition, ulcer doctors differ from ordinary doctors. Other doctors mostly treat diseases by administering decoctions orally, while ulcer doctors treat diseases directly from the outside to the inside, just like with boils and ulcers.

If it's from the outside in, then this 'evil' is even easier to enter the body..."

After answering the question, Doctor Sun got up and called a halt to the meal, inviting Li Sanniang and the others to have lunch in another tent.

"We shouldn't waste the boss's time at noon. I see that you all seem very interested in this book, so why don't we just distribute it now?"

At this point, Li Sanniang continued somewhat embarrassedly, "Because I didn't expect so many people to come, I only brought about fifty books. If there are any doctors who haven't been assigned any, we'll just have to wait until next time."

Alternatively, Dr. Sun could contact my second brother and order it from that bookstore.

Lunch was eaten in the tent with the other doctors. It wasn't a large pot of stew; it was a stir-fry that Dr. Sun had specially prepared, as he had instructed.

The taste is so-so, but edible.

Li San Niang wasn't very hungry, but she was very thirsty, since she had been talking for almost two hours that morning.

Li San Niang, Li Er Xiong, Qiu Xiang, and Shi Jiu are currently resting in the small account book that Sun Yijian has given them separately.

However, those doctors who received the books from Li San Niang that morning were so engrossed in reading them that they didn't even eat.

The crushing influence of thousands of years of knowledge was something the Tang people at that time could not withstand.

Even Dr. Sun and several senior surgeons with special skills who held positions in the camp were engrossed in reading the book, not to mention the young doctors who had only been practicing surgery for a few years.

"This female doctor is quite skilled. I saw her use that alcohol on General You at Physician Sun's place before, it must be something good."

The man's friend didn't answer, but instead gestured for him to look towards the eastern corner.

The man sitting in the eastern corner was none other than the physician surnamed Nie who had asked questions with a hint of disdain during Li San Niang's lecture.

"Hehe, how could a female doctor praised by even Medical Supervisor Sun be completely incompetent?"

A man not far from the two overheard their conversation, turned around, and leaned down to say to them, "Hey, you missed it. When Dr. Li was giving a lecture at the Medical Alliance, I wasn't on duty, so I went with Medical Supervisor Sun to see him."

You didn't see Dr. Li's skill; his suturing technique is amazing. If we could learn it, how could we not get promoted here?

"Hey, sit down and tell me properly, what kind of technique is it?"

After resting for about half an hour, Li Sanniang and the others got up and returned to their tent. Just as they were about to ask Physician Sun if they could continue the lecture, they heard a loud shout coming from outside the tent.

The same man who had caused trouble that morning stepped in. He glanced at Li San Niang first, then said to Doctor Sun, "Doctor Sun, a wounded soldier has come to the medical tent. Wasn't Doctor Li going to give us a lecture?"

What a great opportunity! Let's see Dr. Li's skills too.

Sun, the medical supervisor, looked displeased and cursed inwardly at this person who was looking for trouble.

"Do they look down on Li San Niangzi, a woman?"

They're really getting worse with age. These kids seem to have forgotten the days when Li San Niangzi and I dissected someone (Yang Shi of the Imperial Guard).

Li San Niang felt that this person wasn't looking for trouble, but rather coming to help her out.

"What's the harm? Inspector Sun, let's hurry up and not delay the treatment of the injury."

Of course, among the dozens of people present, more than one person thought that Li San Niang, being a woman, was useless, but smart people wouldn't rush to the front. Only this doctor surnamed Nie was somewhat unforgiving.

However, those who looked down on Li San Niang were quite happy about it.

Sun, the medical supervisor, glanced at the doctors behind him and realized that if he really wanted these people to learn something real from Li Sanniang, he would have to have Li Sanniang take action and keep them in check.

Then, everyone hurried into the medical tent.

Li San Niang said to Nineteen, "Nineteen, please go and fetch my and my second brother's medical kits. The tools here might not be convenient."

Nineteen agreed and turned to run back to get it. Li Sanniang and the others followed him into the medical tent.

As soon as she entered, a faint smell of decay wafted up at Li San Niang's nose.

Li San Niang first went to see the newly wounded soldier. It turned out that he had been slashed from his shoulder to his chest during a real sword fight.

Upon seeing this situation, Li San Niang immediately said to Li Er Xiong, "I'll trouble you, Er Xiong, to treat this soldier's wounds and also demonstrate this suturing technique to all the physicians."

Brother Li had been waiting impatiently for a long time. He knew about Sister Li's abilities. Ever since Doctor Sun contacted Sister Li and asked her to give lectures at the camp in the suburbs of Beijing, Sister Li had said, "Brother Li, you should practice more. I will probably only give a few lectures and then I won't go again. After all, I still have to be on duty and run the midwifery school."

This is an opportunity; we shouldn't let the good stuff go to outsiders. Second brother, it would be great if you could get a position here.”

With Li San Niang's words, how could Brother Li not take it seriously?

The pork skin was so badly split into several pieces, it was only because the family didn't mind that it was badly damaged; otherwise, it probably wouldn't have been worth anything if they had just thrown it away.

Now, Brother Li understands that this is an opportunity given to him by Sister Li, and also an opportunity to severely punish those who, like this Physician surnamed Nie, look down on Sister Li's status as a woman.

After all, all the skills that Brother Li knew were taught to him by Sister Li.

If Li Erxiong can do something well, Li Sanniang can do it even better.

As Li Erxiong got busy, Shijiu stayed by his side to help, and a dozen or so people gathered around to watch.

Li San Niang, however, did not linger. Instead, she carefully searched the medical tent for the source of the putrid smell.

After circling around the medical tent, Li San Niang finally found the man in a corner.

It was an elderly man with gray hair. Li San Niang walked in and said to the old man, who was sitting hunched over on the four-poster bed, "Old man, may I take a look at your injury?"
