The days when I was an obstetrician and gynecologist in Chang'an

Chapter 915 Rising Sun

Chapter 915 Rising Sun
Chang'an has had several not-so-light rains in the past few days, but this has brought a bit of coolness to the hot summer.

Li Sanniang did not go home last night, but stayed in the obstetrics and gynecology department.

This was because a woman suffering from postpartum hemorrhage was received here, and in the obstetrics and gynecology hall, only Wu Erniang's family-inherited acupuncture technique could stop the bleeding for her.

But yesterday afternoon, the head woman's bleeding, which had been stopped by Wu Erniang's acupuncture, started flowing again.

Chen Yanfu immediately sent someone to the Imperial Medical Bureau, who invited Li Sanniang over. With emergency acupuncture, the woman was finally saved.

However, the gate had already been closed by then, and Li Sanniang was also worried that something might happen to the woman again, so she stayed in the obstetrics and gynecology hall for one night.

It must be said that ever since the day when Li Sanniang presided over the enrollment of female medical colleges in Chang'an City, the grand scene of that day has been unforgettable for more than a month.

After that, the proportion of patients from official families among those who came to the obstetrics and gynecology department increased significantly.

You know, in the beginning, only girls and women from wealthy families or those who had no other access to medical treatment came to Li Sanniang's obstetrics and gynecology clinic for treatment.

Later, as Li Sanniang's reputation as a female doctor spread, she gradually recruited female doctors and female medical apprentices, and gradually built up her reputation and gained some fame.

This is how the current scene with huge crowds of people came about.

But most of the women who come to the obstetrics and gynecology clinic for medical treatment and delivery are ordinary people, and the remaining small number are wealthy businessmen and minor officials who are not short of money.

Most of the truly wealthy and powerful people have their own family doctors, or they have familiar medical clinics. The more powerful ones can directly hire doctors from the Imperial Medical Bureau.

After all, only a few of these people come to the obstetrics and gynecology clinic.

However, sometimes when a woman has a disease that is difficult to tell a male doctor, they will send servants to invite a female doctor from the obstetrics and gynecology clinic to come and see the woman.

This home visit is naturally more expensive.

In this way, it is separated from the common people going to the obstetrics and gynecology clinic for medical treatment.

However, this was exactly what Li Sanniang wanted. She originally wanted to set up a place to provide medical treatment to the vast majority of women, rather than just serving a small number of people like the Imperial Hospital.

That would be such a waste.

Song Fuling came into the house carrying a bucket of hot water. "Master, are we going to have breakfast here? Or are we going to have it in the carriage on the way?"

Li Sanniang stayed with the woman for most of the night last night and only went to bed after her condition stabilized. Now she felt her eyelids were numb and she seemed to be unable to rest.

After yawning, Li Sanniang turned around and looked at Song Fuling who had walked into the house and said, "Let's eat here. The journey is long, so we'll have to buy some more food to take with us before we leave the city."

Song Fuling responded to Li Sanniang's words. Seeing Qiuxiang coming over to take the hot water bucket, she handed the bucket over, turned around and walked out to instruct the cook in the obstetrics and gynecology hall to prepare some food.

After eating and drinking, Li Sanniang regained consciousness. She looked at Song Fuling, who had the same dark circles under her eyes as she did, and felt distressed.

"My Fuling has suffered so much following me. Good Fuling, when the work of the Women's Medical College is done, Master will definitely give you a good vacation to rest."

"Haha, Master, I'm not tired, but you have to be careful. Granny Li specifically told me to make sure you eat and sleep well."

When Li Sanniang heard Song Fuling mention Li's mother, she couldn't help but feel homesick.

"Now that you mention it, I realize that I haven't been home for quite some time. I only saw my daughter Luzhu the other day.

When we come back from the Women's Medical College, we must go home first. I really miss my mother."

The Women's Medical College that Li Sanniang mentioned was a large complex of buildings built at the foot of Gupo Mountain, thirty miles outside Chang'an City.

This place was originally a nunnery. Later, the government made great efforts to manage monks, so this small nunnery was abolished and the dozen or so nuns in it were sent to the Qingjing Nunnery farther away.

As a result, the nunnery was abandoned and later bought by Zhongli Wenlian who came to Chang'an. After repairing and adding to it, she wanted to use it as a courtyard outside the city for leisure and relaxation. Unexpectedly, Li Sanniang would come to Zhongli Wenlian and ask for the courtyard to open a medical college for women.

However, Li Sanniang did not actually want to take advantage of others. She had originally selected a place that was originally a college more than ten miles away from here as the location of the women's medical school.

But Li Sanniang never expected that there would be so many women who signed up for the examination. Even after strict examination, the first batch of female doctors and female medical apprentices totaled nearly one hundred people.

As a result, with the addition of the professor's doctors and teachers, as well as people doing odd jobs and security, the academy that Li Sanniang had originally prepared was no longer large enough.

Li Sanniang also thought about recruiting new students every year, and the number of students would increase in the future.

She had no choice but to shamelessly go to Zhongli's house and find Zhongli Wenlian.

Of course, the land occupied by this female medical college, which Li Sanniang requested Emperor Wu to name "Ping'an Female Medical College", must pay rent to Zhongli Wenlian every year.

Li Sanniang naturally had no money to give now. She signed a ten-year contract and had to pay on credit for the first three years.

This is what Li Sanniang said to Zhongli Wenlian at that time: "Madam Zhongli, I will always remember your kindness. In fact, I have used up all the money I got from the Imperial Medical Bureau to run this academy, and I really don't have any extra money at this time.

However, my lady, rest assured, within three years, the medical prescriptions sold at the auction will surely generate a profit, and I will be the first one to pay you back then!

Besides, since you are so generous, I will not hide it. It is my duty to promote your reputation. I will not refuse any convenience I can provide in the future!"

After saying this, Li Sanniang whispered to Zhongli Wenlian, "Madam, your name has long been reported to the emperor through my memorial. The emperor must have a good impression of you.

My wife is not at a disadvantage."

Li Sanniang looked at her with an expression that said, "We are a good sister, and I will never forget you if something good happens," and she winked at Zhongli Wenlian.

When Li Sanniang left the city, the sun was rising. A golden light rose from the horizon and shone on people's faces, bringing with it a feeling of warmth.

"Look at the sky, it should be a sunny day today." Lao Shi said as he drove the carriage.

"That's good. This road will be easier to walk on."

After buying a lot of food at the city gate, Li Sanniang and her group left Chang'an City, walked on the official road, and headed towards Guposhan.
