The Marquise: I Earn My Own Worship

In this era, it is a big problem for women to see a doctor, especially ordinary women.

The ladies of the upper class had doctors trained by their families who could treat simple headaches and fevers. But ordinary people didn't have such treatment. When they were sick, they had to find some herbs to drink. Women had it even harder. They were too embarrassed to speak up when they felt unwell.

There is a saying that goes, "It is better to treat ten men than one woman." Since most of the people who inherit medical skills are men, there are many inconveniences for women to see a doctor.

And there must be girls in this kind of "medical family", and some of them inherit good genes and have excellent talent in medicine.

But because she was a girl, she was excluded from her family and was not allowed to study medicine.

For these people, medical skills are to be passed down to the boys in the family, and daughters will bring what they have learned to their husband's family.

What a bullshit idea.

Song Shengfu spat several times inwardly.

This made her more determined that she could do without anything else, but she must have gynecological examination.

All these people were recruited and didn't learn anything, but it didn't matter, she would find someone to teach them.

But in this era without a systematic theory, many things have to be figured out by ourselves.

Song Shengfu knows some common sense, but she is not a professional and does not know the deeper things.

She doesn't understand, but she can write down some common sense that she knows.

But even these common sense things that were common in the previous life are completely unknown to women of this era.

Due to the constraints of the times, women do not know how to share their experiences and facts with each other, and most of them learn from their female elders.

They themselves don't know what's different about their bodies, and no one tells them.

Even if a certain part of the body is uncomfortable, I have to endure it secretly, and there is no medicine to cure it.

No, to be precise, there is no cure.

She herself is a woman and has received the best education since childhood. Schools have taught them knowledge about female physiology since they were young.

What she is most grateful for is the lectures on female physiology she gave with the club when she was in college.

Because of this experience, she went into in-depth research on some common gynecological knowledge.

Later, when she was doing charity work in the mountains, she would usually bring a professional medical team to give the children in the mountains a full-body check-up, which was essential.

In the previous generation, there was a mature medical system, but in this era, there is not, and everything has to be explored from scratch.

Song Shengfu recruited many female doctors and some midwives, as childbirth is a big deal for women.

The midwives of this era were either inherited from the family or women with much experience in childbirth.

I don’t have any systematic learning, I just have experience in this area. The more I experience, the more I understand, even if I don’t understand something.

What Song Shengfu wanted was professional learning, so she kept looking for people to summarize and then let these people continue learning.

There are millions of people in this world, and everyone has different experiences. They can always summarize the correct knowledge that can be regarded as the truth at present.

So on weekdays, in addition to teaching students, they also have to teach themselves.

In addition, we also hired someone to organize the knowledge learned into a book and compile our own textbooks.

Among those related to gynecology, except for those recorded by Song Shengfu, the others are either existing knowledge theories or summaries of experience.

There's no other way, we can only make do with it for now. At least this makeshift team is holding up.

Experience is accumulated slowly. In the future, there will always be a genius who emerges at a certain time, and then breaks through, questions, and contributes his own strength to gynecology.

"Auntie, you said you often have nightmares and sweat all over. From time to time, the sweat is most severe on your forehead, and you also have tinnitus and dry mouth, and you always feel weak all over."

"Yeah!"

"Let me ask you, do you usually eat on time, do you have trouble sleeping at night, do you go to bed late, and do you often feel that you can't control your temper?"

"Yes, yes, it's true. Lately, my kids have been complaining about my bad temper. I just can't control myself. I'm upset and anxious, and I feel really bad. I always want to vent."

There was a person taking notes nearby, and the two people sitting in the middle were the teacher who was in charge of each room, and the other was the student in charge of seeing the patients.

Generally, the teacher will take the patient's pulse, then the student will ask questions and watch from the side, and make supplements if there are any mistakes.

The student in the middle wrote something, handed it to the teacher next to him to read, then looked up before speaking.

"It's not a big deal. When you get back, remember to eat regularly. Farm work is busy, but you can't neglect your health. Also, you're not getting enough sleep. You wake up often and feel weak. Eat enough to replenish your body, and get at least three hours of sleep a day. When you're not working, take a walk outside to relax and stop worrying. Here's a prescription for some common tranquilizing herbs. You can go to the pharmacy next door to get them."

After taking the prescription, the woman looked a little hesitant and did not leave.

"What's the matter? If you have anything else to say, please tell me."

The woman stammered, "Is this recipe expensive? I don't have much money."

The woman estimated that if she went to the clinic to get medicine on a normal day, it would cost at least a dozen copper coins.

The student smiled and said, "Auntie, don't worry, it's not expensive. I took a look and found that they are all ordinary herbs. You can get some medicine here for only three copper coins. We collect the herbs from the surrounding farmers, and we also collect them ourselves in the mountains, so they are all very cheap. If you really don't have money, you can also collect them yourself. Just go to the next door and ask them for a sample."

Only three copper coins?! So cheap.

The woman looked very surprised, but she didn't dare to delay anything as there were many people behind her, so she took the prescription and went next door.

They receive medical treatment in a small room with a door on the outer wall. Each person has a small cubicle, which provides privacy and is convenient for examination.

The person behind him saw him, walked in hurriedly, and closed the door.

People outside can't see inside and can't hear any sound.

The woman who had just gone to get medicine from the next room soon arrived. When she asked, it turned out to be only three copper coins.

“This is too cheap!”

Everyone who comes to get medicine says this, and the students at the door will repeat the prepared words over and over again without getting tired of it.

"Our Women's Hospital offers free clinics. We don't charge for consultations, only for the herbs. We pick most of the herbs ourselves, and we also buy some from farmers, so they're cheaper. If you have any herbs you've already picked, you can send them to us and we'll buy them."

"You can also harvest herbs. How do you do that?"

A group of people surrounded the student and asked him questions. This scene had been happening for the past few days and the student had gotten used to it.

Looking not far away, there was another commentator who was also surrounded.

"We'll take it! But we'll look at the quality. If you're trying to cheat, don't come. If we're caught cheating once, we won't accept your herbs anymore. The price depends on the quality of the herbs. Go ahead and turn right. There are samples on display. If you don't recognize them, follow that one. If you find someone with the best herbs, we at the girls' school will accept your herbs for a long time."

The herbs were sold very cheaply, only one copper coin for two pounds. Herbs are light to begin with, so two pounds makes a large bundle.

For these people, getting cheap things in the mountains is like picking up money.

Everyone who asked went back satisfied, not only because they had received medical treatment, but also because they had a new way to make money.
