Huatuo is a Chinese medicine practitioner. How did the concept of surgeon enter his concept of medical practice?

There is no clear explanation for this history, because Hua Tuo was killed by Cao Cao, and he had no time to leave a medical book handed down from generation to generation, let alone explain where his medical skills came from. And who is his surgical knowledge is also a great mystery in history.

First of all, history tells how Hua Tuo treated patients and created innovative surgical methods. Hua Tuo's records were first found in the Three Kingdoms, which can prove that Hua Tuo did exist. But this book does not say where Hua Tuo came from, nor who taught his medical skills, but records his most outstanding medical achievements: laparotomy and general anesthesia.

Secondly, why Hua Tuo performed laparotomy is a topic that scholars have been arguing constantly, because according to the medical level and medical books at that time, there was no such precedent. Many of Hua Tuo's treatments are minor operations, such as removing carbuncle and polyps. Huatuo's surgery has nothing to do with mainstream Chinese medicine treatment. Because it is recorded in Huangdi Neijing that there is no mention of operating on human body except acupuncture treatment.

Then came the general anesthetic (Leprosy Powder), which also lost. This is a necessary thing for surgery. If someone has done such an operation before and passed it on to Hua Tuo, there will be no loss. But since Huatuo, no one knows how to make leprosy powder, so many people are still skeptical. The medical level in ancient times was really that high, and leprosy powder really had anesthetic effect.

To sum up, Hua Tuo is real and his medical level is real, but it is a pity that Hua Tuo was killed by Cao Cao, leaving no book or sentence, so that his medical skills can be passed down. Now all kinds of things are just speculations of future generations. No one can know why Hua Tuo understands the concept of surgery and has medical skills beyond his skills. Unless Hua tuo is reincarnated, it is estimated that we will know.
