Chapter 1293 Stab Yourself
The matter of opening a female imperial hospital suddenly cooled down. The queen no longer mentioned it, and Manbao no longer worried about whether to take the office. Both sides returned to a calm state as if they had never mentioned the matter.
But when Doctor Liu came to Manbao, she took her to see the manager Zheng and formally let her come to Jishiditang to practice medical treatment and learn.
Doctor Liu did not stop it, but he didn't support it very much either.
But Doctor Liu was already very satisfied with this.
Manbao still went to Li's house to see Han Wu Niang every day, and went to the palace to see the prince every other day. Occasionally, when the queen came to see a doctor, he had to go to Taiji Hall to give the queen acupuncture.
No matter where he went for a medical consultation, Manbao always brought Doctor Liu with him, knowing that she had memorized all the acupuncture points on the human body and knew all the requirements for acupuncture, but she had never formally performed acupuncture.
There was no way. The queen was not an ordinary person. It was impossible for her to practice acupuncture on Doctor Liu.
Moreover, let alone the queen, even ordinary people would not be able to practice acupuncture on Liu the doctor. After all, needles cannot be used randomly.
This is when the benefits of anthropomorphic models come into play. Manbao did not have these concerns when he gave acupuncture for the first time and practiced directly on the anthropomorphic model.
Not only are they similar to real people, they can also report various data. For example, you don't have to figure out how many inches your needle is inserted, it can report it automatically.
That's why Manbao was able to learn acupuncture so quickly and make such rapid progress, because when she inserted the needle, she could immediately tell whether it was right or wrong, and if it was wrong, she could tell where it was wrong.
But Doctor Liu...
Manbao finally mustered up the courage and, on a cold yet sunny afternoon, rolled up her sleeves and asked her to try acupuncture on a few acupuncture points on her arm. However, she missed the target with the first needle, and it started bleeding immediately...
Although it wasn't very painful, just a slight sting, Manbao was still very distressed. While asking her to remove the needle, he asked, "How could you find the wrong one?"
Doctor Liu didn't know how she could have made a mistake. After removing the needle, she stood aside and said quietly, "Three inches below the elbow. I felt it carefully and it's indeed the right spot, but I don't know how I got it wrong."
Manbao pressed it herself and soon felt a pain on the small red spot. She didn't even need to feel it, and directly pointed to a spot a little bit beside the small red spot and said, "Here, pierce here."
Doctor Liu hesitated.
Manbao was also afraid. She was quite bold in pricking others, but when she saw someone pricking her, she looked away. Otherwise, she would not have let Doctor Liu prick the wrong person.
But now she found her own spot. Although she was still worried, she stared at him closely without moving away. "I'm not afraid, so why are you afraid? Do you see this place where my finger is? Press it gently and pierce it. Don't hesitate. It hurts me if you hesitate..."
Doctor Liu stepped forward and held down the needle. Manbao closed his eyes slightly, but when he didn't feel any pain, he opened his eyes again. Seeing that the needle had gone in, he was slightly satisfied. "Yes, this needle is inserted correctly. Come, turn it as I taught you..."
Doctor Liu used several needles on Manbao and broke out in a sweat in such a cold weather. She and Doctor Xiao had given each other acupuncture before, but they were not so nervous.
She and Doctor Xiao didn't make so many mistakes when they were giving each other acupuncture, but she didn't know why, being watched by Manbao and having the acupuncture done on her, she felt like the acupuncture points she was finding were all wrong.
Manbao didn't say it, but in fact, he was even more worried than she was. After seeing her off and waiting for Bai Shan and the others to return, he said to Bai Shan, "This is difficult. I can only pierce some unimportant acupuncture points on her body. I dare not pierce the large acupuncture points on her body, or the ones I can't see. What should I do? At this rate, I'm afraid it will take several months to learn just the acupuncture techniques for the Queen."
Bai Shan was curious, "But didn't you say before that you could hand over the Queen's acupuncture to them after you taught them for another two months?"
"Do you know how they learned it before?"
Bai Shan shook his head.
Man Bao then said, "They first memorized the acupuncture points and techniques, then found the acupuncture points on each other's bodies. Each time, they pointed at the acupuncture points and recited the acupuncture techniques to confirm that they were correct. However, when testing the acupuncture on each other's bodies, they only dared to test the small acupuncture points. The prince also found a group of palace maids to test the acupuncture on them, but she and Doctor Xiao were not sure, so they held off on starting."
Man Bao sighed and said, "Fortunately, I didn't do anything. Otherwise, with my ability to identify acupuncture points, if I pierced the wrong acupuncture point, I might even paralyze the person."
Bai Erlang was startled and frantically felt around. He turned around and asked Bai Shan in panic, "When we were little, she only pricked our fingers. She didn't give us needles, right?"
Manbao said angrily, "The first time I gave acupuncture to someone was for Sister Hu, not for you."
Bai Shan glanced at her and said, "I remember when Bai Er and I were sick as children, you gave us needles and even caused us to bleed."
Manbao's eyes wandered a little. "That's because you were too young. The location of this acupuncture point is a little different from what's written in the book. You see, you didn't bleed after I pricked you, did you?"
"Besides, I give you acupuncture for free. I don't charge a penny." At this point, Manbao became confident again, "That's free treatment."
Yin Huo, standing by, had already recalled everything he had done to treat the patient. He confirmed that he had not been pricked and had not bled. He breathed a sigh of relief after each acupuncture point was correctly pierced. He looked at Man Bao and asked, "Are you going to give me acupuncture?"
Manbao said, "Let's go. Daji has already lit the brazier. Let's go to Baishan's room."
Bai Shan followed her in and asked as she watched her give Yin Huo acupuncture, "What should we do then? How are you going to teach them?"
Man Bao said, "I'm planning to talk to Shopkeeper Zheng about putting up a sign outside the pharmacy offering free acupuncture. Those with illnesses will be given priority, but Doctor Liu has to do it. Oh, and Xiao Shao, too."
Xiao Shao was very nervous for a while because of the arrival of Doctor Liu, fearing that he would be outdone by Doctor Liu and abandoned by Manbao. So recently, she was very attentive to Manbao and wanted to spread a blanket in front of Manbao and serve him wherever she went.
Manbao had no choice but to take him to learn acupuncture first to reassure him.
Fortunately, he also memorized the acupuncture point maps, and his progress was similar to that of Doctor Liu.
But to be honest, Manbao felt that Doctor Liu's medical skills were actually better than Xiaoshao's, although she had been exposed to the medicine for a shorter time than him.
But her intelligence is not inferior to his.
After Manbao finished acupuncturing Yin Huo, he would stir from time to time and say to Bai Shan, "As for the palace maids who are not sick, let's forget about it and not bring trouble to them."
Bai Shan laughed and said, "You haven't seen them, so how do you know they're not sick?"
"Huh?"
