Why did Cao Cao kill the divine doctor Hua Tuo? Hua Tuo is a native of Bozhou, Anhui Province. He was the most famous medical scientist in the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and can be said to be the earliest doctor in ancient times to perform surgical anesthesia. Hua Tuo was superb in medical skills, and together with Zhang Zhongjing and Dong Feng was known as the Three Divine Doctors of Jian'an.
Hua Tuo, proficient in surgery, and the medical skills are particularly comprehensive, whether it is internal, gynecological, pediatric, acupuncture and other disciplines are very proficient, especially good at surgery, by posterity as a surgical holy hand. The world called him Hua Tuo Divine Doctor, and later generations praised the doctors with superb medical skills as Hua Tuo. Unfortunately, however, in his later years, Hua Tuo was suspected of being imprisoned by Cao Cao and tortured to death. On the verge of death, he passed on medical books to the jailers.
The jailer's fear of Cao Cao's demotion to his post was a major loss in the history of Chinese medicine. Hua Tuo was a very powerful doctor, he had saved many lives, and he was also a famous savior doctor in the world at that time. So why did Cao Cao kill the divine doctor Hua Tuo? First, Hua Tuo does not want to be bound, which is not conducive to medical research. Cao Cao had a headache that everyone knew and invited Hua Tuo to treat himself.
At first, Hua Tuo helped Cao Cao to see a doctor every three to five minutes, and the effect was very good. However, when Cao Cao's condition deteriorated, he wanted Hua Tuo to be his exclusive doctor. Ke Huatuo prides himself on being high and ambitious, and does not want to become Cao Cao's exclusive doctor. Therefore, Hua Tuo excused himself that his daughter-in-law was ill and wanted to take leave to go back to see. What could Cao Cao say, let Hua Tuo leave.
However, after Hua Tuo returned home, Cao Cao summoned him several times to return, but Hua Tuo shirked that his wife was ill and repeatedly requested a long-term extension of leave. At that time, when the doctor was in the ninth stream, Hua Tuo was originally a shiren doctor as his side job. Therefore, Cao Cao regarded Hua Tuo as a special doctor, which made Hua Tuo dissatisfied. Cao Cao waited repeatedly, but Hua Tuo just wouldn't come, so Cao Cao sent someone to the field to check.
If it is true as Hua Tuo said, then when his wife is sick, he will reward Xiao dou for forty days, give him ten days, give him time, and fulfill his husband's duty. At that time, if he did not come back, he would take it back. However, Cao Cao sent someone to take a look, and he found that Hua Tuo had actually deceived himself. Discovering that Hua Tuo was lying, Cao Cao became angry and sent someone to imprison Hua Tuo in Xuchang.
Xun Yu interceded for Hua Tuo on the grounds that Hua Tuo's medical skills were superb and skilled, but Cao Cao said that there was no need to worry, without Hua Tuo, would there really be a lack of people in the world who had obtained medical skills? In the end, Hua Tuo was tortured to death.
The second reason was that Hua Tuo wanted to perform craniotomy on Cao Cao, which was the reason why Hua Tuo was directly killed.
After several treatments for Cao Cao, Hua Tuo has gradually groped and found a way to completely eradicate the headache, that is, to perform craniotomy.
Craniotomy was unimaginable at the time. This procedure is thousands of years ahead of Western medicine. Hua Tuo relied on his own exclusive development of hemp boiling powder, which is similar to today's anesthesia to Cao Cao to do craniotomy, completely eradicating his headache disease, which became possible. But Cao Cao didn't think so, he felt that if people's heads were separated, then they would undoubtedly die. Therefore, he felt that Hua Tuo was changing the law and wanted to murder himself.
So he asked people to kill Hua Tuo, causing immeasurable losses to future generations. Let's imagine now that if Hua Tuo's medical books and ideas were preserved, China's medical skills would be proud of the whole of mankind
