For the wealthy, health is the most important, and even a minor ailment requires immediate medical attention and medication.
But for the poor, their health is the least valued; they save wherever they can. If they get sick, they delay treatment until there is no other choice but to consult a doctor.
Firstly, there are few doctors, and secondly, the cost of treatment is high.
Xia Wenjin has witnessed the hardships of the people and deeply feels their plight.
Changing this situation is very difficult. An individual's power is limited, unless the Nanxia Court truly considers helping the people a national policy and ensures that illnesses are treated.
However, this is not something that can be achieved overnight. Firstly, the training of doctors takes three to five years, and once they are trained, opening a clinic or becoming a traveling doctor can earn them a lot of silver.
For the impoverished commoners, it means paying a hefty price for treatment, which they cannot afford.
