从《点石斋画报》看晚清中医医务人员的状况

The situation of Chinese medicine practitioners in the late Qing Dynasty as viewed from the Dian-shizhai Pictorial

从《点石斋画报》中17幅与中医医务人员概况密切相关的新闻图来看,19世纪末期的中医医务人员有职业型医务人员和非职业型医务人员2类。涉及职业型医务人员的10幅新闻画中有8幅以“庸医”为主题,一定程度上反映了当时部分中医医务人员的医术不佳,素质低下；涉及非职业型医务人员的7幅新闻画的题材比较复杂,涉及到产妇、稳婆、巫医及江湖术士,反映当时非职业型医务人员来源的复杂,也表明了职业型医务人员难以满足民众需求。

According to the 17 pieces of news pictures closely related to Chinese medicine practitioners appeared in the Dianshizhai Pictorial, it can be seen that Chinese medicine practitioners in the 19th century can be divided into two classes, professional and non-professional practitioners. Of the 10 pieces related to professional practitioners, 8 news pictures creates ＂Quack doctors＂ as its theme, reflecting that some Chinese medicine practitioners only had poor medical skill of low quality. The other 7 pieces of news figure related to non-professional practitioners are rather complex. Some of them expresses puerpera, midwives, witch-doctors and charlatans, reflecting that the contemporary non-professional practitioners were complex, and indicating that those professional practitioners still can＇t meet the requirement of people in that time.
