Since ancient times, there has been traditional Chinese medicine in China, which treats diseases with herbal medicines, degraded stones, and silver needles, even though there are those who sell strong pills, which are known as: "cure diseases and prevent diseases", "self-defense without diseases", although in fact they are not so magical, but they are also harmless to health.
However, the history of medicine in the West is like a horror movie, and people are shuddering to watch!
Name: 《History of Rough Medicine》

This is the process of Western medicine from ignorance to science, and everyone is shocking, how do you think that it must be a very distant thing, then you are wrong.
After the end of World War II, there was still a very absurd treatment, and it won the Nobel Prize, that is, the "anterior lobotomy" invented by Egas, in order to treat some mental illnesses, a kind of surgery that makes people lose the ability to speak and act, and the operation that claims to make people docile is actually the "devil's surgery" that destroys humanity and makes people become walking dead.
The people who underwent this kind of surgery were some mentally ill patients, so the inventor even won the Nobel Prize in 1949, because after World War II, there were many soldiers who were traumatized by the war and had mental abnormalities, they had a certain tendency to violence, and after the operation, they were really "docile", this kind of surgery was still popular for a while, even homosexuals would be sent by their parents to have this kind of surgery, and even more, a rural doctor dared to do this kind of surgery.
In short, in a word, those who do not obey can be operated on, so that he heard that thousands of cases have gradually made people discover the true meaning of this kind of surgery, and this kind of surgery was banned under the strong condemnation of the family.
However, if you think that only the disadvantaged, the incapable of self-protection, or the unscrupulous treatment will be received because of this case, then you are wrong.
The most ironic thing is that a large amount of bloodletting is used to treat massive bleeding and other diseases with massive blood loss, Charles II, Mozart, Byron, and even the first president of the United States, Washington, all died of this treatment.
This treatment is also the origin of the red and blue rotating columns at the entrance of the hair salon, and in ancient Rome, the shaver was the equivalent of the current stylist, not only for haircuts, but also for manicures and tooth extractions...... Comprehensively take care of the customer's image, and one of the businesses is bloodletting.
Plague, bloodletting, epilepsy, bloodletting, smallpox, bloodletting...... It's simply omnipotent, even anemia, and bloodletting to cure it, which is a universal spiritual method, and the more aristocratic they are, the more enthusiastic they are about bloodletting.
In 1860, Washington suffered from the fact that he had difficulty breathing due to the cold, which should have been severe epiglottitis by today's technology, and the doctors bled him, choked him half to death with a potion made of syrup, butter and other ingredients, burned him with water sores, and tried laxatives and emetics...... It makes people tremble when they look at it, and within two days, 2800-5000 ml of blood was released one after another, and the total blood volume of a normal person is 4000-6000 ml.
In 1923, the French doctor Jacques also wrote a whole book on phlebotomy, believing that it could cure lovesickness, depression, and make it happier.
It was only in the 19th century that the treatment was gradually withdrawn from the attention of many doctors and scientists.
The absurd treatments are really shocking! Now it looks so unreal, as if you are reading an absurd novel with a big brain.
