Doctor's Record

In ancient times, humans had no medical and health knowledge, so diseases were common and life expectancy was generally low. Later, good hygiene habits were gradually developed. For example, all meat must be cooked and eaten, so the race has been able to survive for thousands of years. However, in the feudal era, despite the emergence of medical practitioners, it was still common that most people still did not understand common sense about medical and health care. This novel vividly describes the miscellaneous stories about people's medical treatment in the late Qing Dynasty, reflecting the level of knowledge and medical practice of most people in society at that time. In ancient China, doctors mainly practiced traditional Chinese medicine, which focused on the skills of observing, hearing, asking, and prescribing medicines. Most ordinary people did not know much about the methods of curing diseases. Therefore, when they suffered from various difficult and complicated diseases, they often did not know the level of medical skills of doctors. They had to hear hearsay and invite whoever they heard had good medical skills to come and try to see the doctor. People who hire quack doctors will just take a few folk prescriptions in a confused way. If they are lucky, everyone will be happy, but if they are not lucky, they will lose their lives and lose both their lives and money. This novel and its characters are purely fictitious.
