After Li Mai finished organizing the establishment plan and charter for the Female Physician Shu, she entered the palace with Yun Chang.
A few days later, the Emperor approved the use of the Chu family's inns in various locations as venues for the selection and assessment of female physicians.
emperor
They set up five towns within the Song Kingdom as assessment points, sending one imperial physician to each point, while Li Mai also arranged for two people to accompany them. This was mainly to ensure the fairness of the assessment and to recruit truly outstanding female physicians.
The people from Limai were arranged by Yun Chang.
The assessment was scheduled for one month later. The official announcement was issued by the imperial court directly to local governments that afternoon, instructing them to publicize that female physicians with good medical skills who wanted to enter the Imperial Medical Academy would eventually go to the five designated major towns to participate in the assessment and selection.
These five locations are Hengzhou City in the south, Kunzhou City in the east, Lanzhou City in the west, Yongzhou City in the north, and Xiangzhou City in the middle. Female physicians who pass the examinations in these five locations will be escorted by the Chu family to the capital to participate in the final examination for female physicians of the Imperial Medical Academy.
The chief examiners were Li Mai and Feng Yuzhang, the head of the academy.
The assessment dates for various regions are set for September 26th, lasting three days, while the assessment dates for the capital are October 28th, also lasting three days.
Limai's target number of recruits is at least ten to fifteen.
With this matter settled, it was time for Zhong Hui to get married.
After Zhong Hui was ennobled, the emperor bestowed upon him a separate marquisate. When he got married, both Li Mai and Yun Chang's families attended the wedding. Zhong Hui and Chu Yan no longer needed to hide their relationship and directly addressed Li Mai as their master.
Only then did people realize how powerful Yun Wang's sister was.
During this time, news of the Imperial Medical Academy's plan to establish a female medical corps in Shu spread throughout the capital, and people also became aware of Li Mai.
Then someone remembered the incident from that year when the Liu family used the Crown Princess's name to humiliate Li Mai's child.
Looking back now, when the Crown Prince arrived, he smiled and went to speak with Physician Li first, and then hugged the twins, showing that they had a very close relationship.
The Liu family has now fallen from grace in the capital. It is said that their daughter is not favored by the Crown Princess's family. Because of the Liu family's troubles, the Crown Princess, her sister-in-law, warned her that if the Liu family continues to act arrogantly in her name, she will be sent back to where she came from.
This sudden turn of events terrified the entire Liu family. Coupled with the suppression from the Yu family, the Liu family's business gradually declined and shrank considerably. The Liu family is now in a very difficult situation.
Li Mai returned to the capital, busy with more important matters, and paid no attention to the Liu family. She had long forgotten about that day's events. Only today, when she heard people whispering about the Liu family, did she suddenly remember what had happened.
After finishing Zhong Hui's wedding preparations, Li Mai began working on establishing the Women's Medical Academy, preparing medical books, case notes, and the academy's rules and regulations.
She also set up outpatient clinics for internal medicine, surgery, gynecology and pediatrics in the front hall of the Female Physician's Office, as well as a dedicated acupuncture room and massage room to receive those who usually came to the Imperial Hospital for treatment.
Ordinary physicians in the Imperial Medical Academy would treat palace maids, female officials, eunuchs, guards, officials and their families in the capital, as well as ordinary people in the capital who wanted to come here for treatment.
The imperial physicians of the Imperial Medical Academy were the ones who specifically treated members of the royal family.
When Dr. Feng saw this, he thought, "Hmm, the idea of an outpatient clinic is good." He also took some time out of his busy schedule to start arranging for people to renovate his place and set up an outpatient clinic, just like the female doctor in Shu.
Based on the notes given to her by Doctor Niu, Li Mai compiled a collection of common prescriptions for various diseases, including case studies, main prescriptions, the properties of the principal and assistant herbs, related herbs, extended symptoms of the disease, and extended prescriptions with modifications. The books for each disease were titled "Case Studies of Doctor Niu's Diseases".
These books are more detailed than the original medical books of the Imperial Medical Academy.
The homepage also highlights Dr. Niu's life story, with the author's note indicating that it was compiled by Tu Limai.
She had previously discussed this matter with her master about compiling his notes over the years into a medical book, and Dr. Niu had agreed.
Chu Yan, Zhu Zhu, and Xi Que were her assistants, helping her organize Doctor Niu's medical notes from over the years.
After Li Mai finished writing the book and had it reviewed by Dean Feng and the others, Li Mai wrote acupuncture point combinations and herbal prescriptions based on some common diseases. The book was titled "Acupuncture Therapy for Common Diseases".
Furthermore, based on some modern medical knowledge in his mind, he compiled "Miraculous Cure for Diseases", "Analysis of the Internal Structure of the Human Body", and "Solutions for Difficult and Complex Diseases", etc.
After they finished reviewing the first drafts of these books and confirmed that there were no problems, they arranged for printing. It was already late October when the Chu family head sent a message to Li Mai that the female doctors selected from various places would soon be arriving in the capital.
The accommodations arranged by Li Mai for the female doctors have also been prepared by Yun Chang.
Li Mai personally checked each location and was relieved to see that it was not far from the Imperial Hospital and that the female physicians' daily routes to their posts were safe.
Moreover, each one is a separate little courtyard, which can comfortably house one master and two or three servants.
In the capital, Li Mai received about ten applications. She asked Chu Yan and Zhu Zhu to conduct the assessments. Ultimately, five people passed their assessments, and these five people will participate in Li Mai and Feng Yuzhang's assessments along with female doctors from various places.
The day before the formal assessment, Li Mai also selected more than thirty patients with various ailments from among the Imperial Guards, palace maids, and ordinary people in the capital. He arranged for them to be treated in the Imperial Hospital, where the examinees would take turns diagnosing and treating them, writing medical records, and prescribing remedies.
Of course, Li Mai and Feng Yuzhang had already examined these people beforehand, determined their symptoms, and identified the appropriate treatments and prescriptions.
