In this turbulent era, the social situation is changing, people's hearts are unpredictable, and deception has become the norm. In this chaotic context, an individual with superb medical skills appeared, revered as the "Divine Doctor", and his name has been passed down through the ages, that is, Hua Tuo.
Hua Tuo's original wish was to heal the sick and save lives. However, a twist of fate forced him to get involved in a game with power, and finally embarked on a desperate road full of thorns, and finally died under the Yellow Springs.
Divine Doctor Hua Tuo: The pinnacle of medicine for innovators.
Born in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Hua Tuo showed extraordinary intelligence since he was a child, showing a high interest and talent in medical knowledge. Unlike the heroic deeds of the martial arts at that time, Hua Tuo was deeply immersed in the world of ancient medical books and knew those unique prescriptions well. Leaving his hometown at a young age, he embarked on a journey of travel, asking folk witch doctors from all over the world for advice on distant and mysterious **.
Hua Tuo not only cultivated a group of kind and benevolent people, but also shared the mystery of medical skills with them. Through years of painstaking study and clinical practice, Hua Tuo has made outstanding achievements in various medical fields such as internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, pediatrics, acupuncture, etc., and has become an authority in various medical techniques.
What is even more remarkable is that he is not satisfied with tradition, boldly innovates, and creates the drug "Ma Boiling Powder", which can make people temporarily unconscious. With this invention, Hua Tuo was able to perform large-scale surgical operations that were considered incredible at the time, demonstrating forward-thinking and innovative power in the field of medicine.
Hua Tuo's medical attainments and drug innovation were rare at that time, and his contribution was not only due to the mastery of medical skills, but also to the challenge and innovation of traditional medicine. Later generations have to sincerely admire his outstanding courage and extraordinary attainments in the field of medicine.
Divine Doctor Hua Tuo: Rescue Guan Yu's life.
In 208 AD, at a critical juncture in Cao Cao's battle with the enemy, Guan Yu was attacked by a deadly poisoned arrow that was deeply embedded in his right shoulder. In the severe pain, Guan Yu felt a cold feeling on his shoulders, and seemed to have lost consciousness.
The enemy Pound was overjoyed to see this, because he knew that his arrows were coated with poison, and those who were hit by them were destined to die. In the face of this sudden crisis, the surrounding soldiers all looked at each other and were helpless.
Therefore, someone proposed to urgently invite Hua Tuo, the world's divine doctor, in the hope that he might have a way to save him. People quickly sent people to ask for help, hoping that Hua Tuo would arrive in time.
Hua Tuo carefully examined Guan Yu's wound and judged that the arrow had been deeply inserted into the shoulder bone. Knowing that the venom could spread rapidly and threaten Guan Yu's life, he did not hesitate to suggest immediate surgery to remove the arrows and contaminated bones.
Guan Yu's bold and rugged personality made him suddenly aware of death, and without saying a word, he ordered his soldiers to put themselves on the flagpole.
Hua Tuo picked up the scalpel and carefully began to clean the wound, removing the blackened bones and cleaning the wound at the same time. Everyone present gasped, for fear that Hua Tuo would accidentally damage the major arteries.
However, throughout the operation, Guan Yu behaved calmly, and even played chess and laughed with Ma Liang under his command. When Hua Tuo completed the operation and bandaged Guan Yu's wound to stop the bleeding, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and admired Hua Tuo's medical skills. If it weren't for Hua Tuo's timely treatment, Guan Yu would probably have died on the battlefield at this moment.
Divine Doctor Hua Tuo: For Cao Cao**, the medical skills are magical.
The reputation of Hua Tuo, who had superb medical skills, spread among the people and quickly reached the ears of Cao Cao, who was in power at that time. Cao Cao was over fifty years old and suspicious, so he had to rely on drugs and acupuncture in order to sleep. Recently, he has been suffering from frequent headaches, which has directly affected the efficiency of handling government affairs.
The doctors worked hard, but with little effect. It is said that Cao Cao once fell into a coma due to a headache attack. The ministers hurriedly invited the imperial doctor, but no one was able to ** Cao Cao's stubborn illness. In the end, a ** suggested that Cao Cao invite Hua Tuo, who was skilled in medicine, maybe he had a way to save him. Therefore, at the behest of Cao Cao, Hua Tuo hurried to Cao's Mansion for him.
Hua Tuo carefully checked Cao Cao's pulse and tongue, and judged that the headache was closely related to the increasing pressure of government affairs. Long-term exertion leads to health problems, coupled with poor sleep, and blood circulation to the brain is blocked. Therefore, Hua Tuo first suggested that Cao Cao take a few months of rest, stay away from government affairs, and at the same time use medicine for physical conditioning.
However, when Cao Cao heard that he needed to leave government affairs and sleep for months to recuperate, he was furious. He believes that political opponents will definitely take advantage of the opportunity to seize power, how can they have half a chance to slack off! Faced with Cao Cao's refusal, Hua Tuo proposed that surgery could be performed to directly open the cranium to remove the bruises. But Cao Cao was even more horrified when he heard that it involved touching his head with a knife.
Divine Doctor Hua Tuo: Imprisoned and tortured by Cao Cao.
Cao Cao looked at Hua Tuo suspiciously, wondering in his heart whether this healer was being manipulated by others in an attempt to take advantage of the opportunity to harm him. He recalled Hua Tuo's experience of performing surgery on Guan Yu, and he was suspicious that if Hua Tuo was bought by Liu Bei and others, he might just become a tool to frame him.
After pondering for a moment, Cao Cao decided to put Hua Tuo under house arrest first and keep him under close surveillance for a while. However, day after day, Cao Cao's headache symptoms did not improve in the slightest, but worsened. Hua Tuo was disappointed when he saw that Cao Cao had no trust in his diagnosis and **, so he could only try to find a way to go home.
Upon learning that Hua Tuo wanted to leave, Cao Cao was furious and immediately sent someone to escort him back to his home, where he was brutally tortured in an attempt to extract a confession. Cao Cao asked Hua Tuo whether he was instructed by others to try to take the opportunity to frame him. Hua Tuo was too weak to endure the brutal torture, so he reluctantly confessed to all the charges. However, in fact, Hua Tuo has always been loyal to the monarch and has no second thoughts.
Under Cao Cao's forced confession, Hua Tuo was exhausted and could not express his thoughts normally, so he could only speak nonsense. Cao Cao saw that Hua Tuo had "confessed" to the crime, coupled with his own suspicions, and ordered him to be executed. All this led to the unfortunate death of the divine doctor Hua Tuo, and Cao Cao's suspicion and cruelty eventually took the life of this good doctor.
Divine Doctor Hua Tuo: After his death, his worth increased greatly.
After Cao Cao killed Hua Tuo, his long-term headaches worsened, and he finally died of exhaustion after 12 years. After Cao Cao's death, he was succeeded by his son Cao Pi and became the founder of the Wei Dynasty.
Cao Pi suddenly realized at that time that the reason why his father killed Hua Tuo was to consolidate imperial power and establish prestige. By doing so, he hoped to make it clear to the people of the whole country that the king's orders were above all else, and that no one could dare to disobey them. Cao Pi deeply realized that the life of a doctor was insignificant to maintaining the stability of the imperial court. Father's decision-making is the right way to ensure the peace of the court.
When Cao Pi ascended to the throne and looked down on the people, he truly understood his father's foresight. If a physician is allowed to disobey the king's command, who of his subjects will obey the king's command? Cao Pi believed that killing chickens and setting an example was a reasonable means to consolidate imperial power.
Cao Pi was even grateful to some extent for his father's decisive decision, because this prevented Hua Tuo from becoming the fuse that shook the royal power. Although Cao Cao's choice seemed cruel, it undoubtedly ensured the rule of the Cao clan in troubled times. Cao Pi believes that if a doctor's life is at the expense of the king's world, this transaction is really quite cost-effective.
Conclusion: With the passage of time, people gradually realized the uniqueness and rarity of Huatuo's medical skills. Once a miracle doctor is lost, it is difficult to find it. Relatively speaking, Cao Cao's father and son were only passers-by in the struggle for power in troubled times, and failed to leave any grand career.
The scales of history gradually tilted in favor of Hua Tuo, the divine physician, who rose to prominence for his medical excellence, while Cao Cao was regarded as a brutal ruler whose charges for killing doctors were difficult to clear. Hua Tuo proved the nobility of medical ethics with his life, while Cao became a typical representative of solving problems with violence. An ordinary commoner, Hua Tuo left a brilliant reputation behind him, defeating the emperor Cao Cao. History has given a clear answer to which is more important.
