Hua Tuo's name is believed that most people have heard of it, he was a divine doctor at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, as long as the patients were treated by him, they could be cured of the disease, it can be said that his medical skills have reached the point of pure fire, in addition to being able to treat many difficult and complicated diseases at that time, and even often can see the future trend of the disease.
At that time, the county official Yin Shi suffered from a strange disease, his hands and feet were hot, his mouth was dry, and as soon as he heard people talking, he was very irritable. At first glance, I think many people think that this disease is a bit strange, and the county official Yin Shi heard that there was a hua Tuo divine doctor who was very powerful at that time, so he asked every effort to find him. After Hua Tuo diagnosed him, he did not prescribe him any medicine, but told his family that he only needed to make a hot meal for Yin Shi to eat. If you sweat after eating, the disease will be cured. If you don't sweat at all, you will only live for three days. The words of the divine doctor were like a holy will, and the family did not dare to be sloppy, so they made a hot meal for Yin Shi to eat, but they had not seen a drop of sweat for a long time. Yin Shi did not hold on, and died on the third day. It can be seen from this that Hua Tuo's medical skills were many gods at that time.
With the increase of Hua Tuo's popularity, more and more people are looking for him to see a doctor. But sometimes fame doesn't mean it's a good thing, it can also bring disaster. At that time, Cao Cao was plagued by head wind disease for a long time, and every three to five times he had a seizure, and none of them were in pain, and after hearing about Hua Tuo's fame, he sent someone to invite him to heal him. After Hua Tuo came, he just stabbed a needle between Cao Cao's chest and abdomen, and miraculously, Cao Cao soon stopped feeling headaches.
But Hua Tuo said that this can only temporarily relieve pain, and if you want to cure it completely, you must open the skull and take out the saliva inside, otherwise it will continue to have repeated attacks. When Cao Cao heard this, he felt that Hua Tuo was ill-intentioned and wanted to take the opportunity to kill him. So he was sent to prison and eventually tortured to death. Why was Cao Cao so sensitive that he killed Hua Tuo without giving him any chance?
In fact, once when Cao Cao was ill again, he sent someone to invite Hua Tuo, but Hua Tuo made an excuse that his wife was unwell and needed to take care of her at home, and refused Cao Cao's request. The suspicious Cao Cao sent someone to his home to inquire whether it was true, but when Cao Cao's subordinates came to visit with gifts, they saw Hua Tuo's wife bouncing around alive, and her mental state was too good to be true, where was a sick look.
After Cao Cao learned of this, he became even more suspicious of Hua Tuo, so how could Cao Cao believe that Hua Tuo was truly able to cure him? Therefore, Cao Cao, who was angry, decided to deal with Hua Tuo severely. So from our point of view today, can Hua Tuo's craniotomy really cure Cao Cao's stubborn disease?
Some experts gave a negative answer, saying that if they did so, they were afraid that Cao Cao would undoubtedly die. After all, the medical technology at that time was not as developed as it is now, the brain is the most critical part of the person, but also the most complex place, a little careless will hurt the nervous system of the brain, the consequences are unimaginable. Although Hua Tuo's medical skills are very skilled, he is not able to cure any patient. Moreover, surgery like this should ensure a sterile environment, how to ensure it during the Three Kingdoms period? It is said that cao cao has already been infected with wounds before the operation is successful, so there is only one end for him, that is, a dead end.
