It is a new year and everything is renewed. The New Year is about to see a new atmosphere, and the new Flag must be put together. Please warmly welcome the new series of the Year of the Humor 2021: “Tell stories and learn Chinese medicine”! Let’s go through the long river of time to see those interesting medical stories in Chinese history.
During the Three Kingdoms Period, Guan Yunchang was unfortunately shot by a poisonous arrow when attacking Fancheng. The famous doctor Hua Tuo cut the skin and flesh with a knife to remove the toxin for his treatment. During the treatment, Hua Tuo cut the skin and flesh one by one to remove the bone poison. Guan Yunchang did not change his face, even played chess with others. The story of “scraping bones to cure poisons” has been constantly praised by later generations because of Guan Yunchang’s bravery and Hua Tuo’s superb medical skills.
