Chapter 120 what is febrile disease

When reading Wang Mengying's medical books, people will be impressed by Wang Mengying's superb medical skills, and at the same time have such doubts, that is, why are other doctors so stupid?Why do those doctors create so many misdiagnosed medical cases? Take the book "Wang Mengying's Medical Cases" as an example. The editor of the book, Lu Shi'e, has collected about 598 cases of Wang Mengying's medical cases. Let's take a look, good guy, almost all of them were delayed by the previous doctors!Among them, the previous doctor prescribed a prescription to treat the condition more seriously. I have done statistics, and there are a total of 352 medical cases, accounting for more than half!

God, could it be this serious?Why is there such a situation? Let's unravel this mystery! It turns out that although Wang Mengying is also proficient in "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" and various theories of ancient doctors, he is better at the emerging theory of febrile diseases. What is febrile disease theory?Let me talk to you here. It turns out that in the past, people followed the exposition of "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" and believed that exogenous diseases are diseases caused by cold evils invading the human body (in fact, "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" also said that exogenous pathogens are not only cold evils, but Everyone didn’t pay attention to it), but later in clinical practice, it was found that only using the method of dispersing heat and warming the surface was not enough to treat various exogenous diseases. sick thoughts.

From Dr. Wu Youke in the Ming Dynasty, he listed plague separately from typhoid fever. Later, febrile disease theory gradually became independent from plague. In Qing Dynasty, after the improvement of Ye Tianshi and other doctors, this theory finally Formed, the place where it spreads most widely is the Jiangnan area. Wang Mengying is one of the four major families of febrile diseases. His book "Warm and Heat Jingwei" is the pinnacle of febrile disease theory and has extremely high academic value. (Both "Wang Mengying's Medical Cases" and "Warm Jingwei" are available in bookstores)

In the past, the academic circles believed that since the Jiangnan area in the late Qing Dynasty was the birthplace of febrile disease theory, and there were so many people with febrile disease, folk doctors should have sufficient knowledge of febrile disease. , and it is a serious deficiency! In the book "Wang Mengying's Medical Cases", among the 352 medical cases that were wrongly treated by previous doctors, 191 cases were identifiable febrile diseases, and they were treated as typhoid fever by mistake, and warm tonic was used by mistake. Accounted for as many as 173 cases.

Therefore, I think that in the Jiangnan area in the late Qing Dynasty, the majority of folk doctors did not have enough understanding of febrile diseases. Although this emerging theory seems to be popular, it has not been recognized by all doctors, and many people still do not understand what it is. It's a febrile disease. When you see an external infection, you will be served by ephedra and cassia twigs, but the treatment is always poor. In order to promote the febrile disease theory, Wang Mengying collected medical records that others could not identify, and he finally used the febrile disease theory to give the cured medical records, wrote them out, printed them into books, and distributed them widely, so that more doctors could realize that they could use warm heat if they could not come up. Divergent medicine, you must learn to deal with febrile diseases.

Wang Mengying's book was released very well, and he had a huge number of fans back then. Wherever he went, he often met a new friend who had read his book: "You are Wang Mengying, my idol!" This time everyone understands why other doctors made so many mistakes. It turned out that the theory of Chinese medicine was not fully mature at that time. Many doctors were not good at treating febrile diseases, and they were not good at treating phlegm syndrome in internal injuries. It will be dealt with after Wang Mengying has publicized it.
