Why aren't imperial doctors eunuchs? They treat the king's concubines?

I think the reason why imperial doctors are not eunuchs is due to the following aspects:

1. Study medicine and cultivate it from an early age

Traditional Chinese medicine is broad and profound, so around it , all require great efforts and excellent understanding. Without studying hard since childhood and practicing for excellence. In a feudal society, wanting to be an imperial doctor is simply a joke from a technical perspective. Therefore, without a long period of time and long-term concentration, an imperial physician cannot take up his post.

Let’s talk about eunuchs. This profession is basically composed of poor people. In order to survive, they have no choice but to enter the palace and undergo surgery. Then he began to live a life as deep as the sea once he entered the palace gate. Under the heavy labor and the oppression of the harsh and cruel feudal lords, they struggled to survive. Where is the time and energy to focus on rigorous medicine?

2. When eunuchs are promoted, they become eunuchs

Secondly, the promotion of imperial doctors has some extremely high professional requirements compared to the promotion of eunuchs, and there are no illnesses that can cure high-ranking officials. With the ability and skills to cure, just relying on "begging for favors" may bring disaster to the family. Therefore, eunuchs who have not received long-term medical practice and study cannot get involved in the highly professional profession of imperial medicine.

From the perspective of the eunuch profession, their promotion also requires relevant professional requirements, but they are different from those of imperial doctors. Eunuchs are also different. Their professional levels are extremely detailed. Only high-ranking eunuchs can be called eunuchs. Therefore, if you engage in the profession of eunuch, it means that this eunuch will develop to the top and most prestigious eunuch of this profession, rather than the so-called "medical eunuch". After all, there are specialties in the art industry.

3. Both professions have their own merits

So, eunuchs and imperial doctors are two completely different professions, and they both require extremely professionalism. Although the two have some contact with each other, in the ruthless cannibal society, if the two professions are forcibly combined into one. Without talent, opportunity, and extremely diligent efforts, it is very likely that this cross-border person will be doomed between the two professions.
