五 结语
英国东印度公司的董事会在意的是商业利益,对于传播西方医学来华并没有太大兴趣或主动作为,因此在广州商馆热切期盼送何鲁到伦敦手术,以便向华人展现英国进步的医学时,董事会的响应仅是有些勉强地“不反对”(“have no object”);他们对于皮尔逊和郭雷枢在本分以外的慈善工作也无动于衷,因此拒绝在退休年金上给予适当的回报等。尽管如此,不能否认的是,董事会在19世纪初决定禁止广州商馆医生兼营商业,不但让商馆医生从此专心于本业,也是促成他们进一步积极引介西医来华的一项关键因素。
相对于董事会的消极被动,公司派驻印度与中国等地的各级人员,虽说不到热衷的程度,至少是具有相当积极的意愿进行其事。从印度大总督以下致力于传播牛痘来华,而且还一再地尝试;在广州商馆方面,历任大班无一例外地总是赞助商馆医生的行动,或者为他们的行事与福利向董事会美言争取;至于19世纪初的商馆医生,皮尔逊和郭雷枢两人固然热忱地以自己的专业免费施用于华人,即使是本文较少着墨的李文斯顿,同样在业余关怀华人,参与皮尔逊的推广牛痘接种,有时一星期接种多达500名华人。[141]不过,李文斯顿下了较多工夫调查中国的医药疾病和自然博物,并撰文多篇向西方报道介绍,[142]他在中西文化交流中从事的是和皮尔逊与郭雷枢不同的工作。
东印度公司在印度与中国各地的人员引介西医来华的积极态度与慈善作为,显示了一般人对他们唯利是图的刻板印象并不尽妥当。不过,如果将他们引介西医的行为,解读为完全出于对华人的慈善之心,则不免是一厢情愿与过甚其词了。他们的善意无可怀疑,但他们同时也是基于英国和东印度公司国家与商业的双重利益,期望借着展现西方近代医学的进步与成就,让中国人改变对他们的印象,从而改善双方的关系,包括得以比较顺利地进行商业活动。如前文所述,印度大总督韦斯利相信,引介牛痘至华对于东印度公司和英国都有重要的正面利益;而广州商馆决定送何鲁到伦敦手术时,考虑的重点也是此举有助于提升东印度公司在中国的形象;至于郭雷枢则说得更为清楚,他免费为华人治病,既是为了行善而行善,也有感于此举可以提高他自己和东印度公司在华人中的声誉。[143]
在引介牛痘接种、筹设船员医院,及治疗疾病等三项医学活动中,牛痘接种和治疗疾病都以华人为对象,也很快得到中国人民的接受与合作,并一定程度地获得政府官员的同意或默许。而不以华人为对象的船员医院,虽先后经商馆大班、商务监督与英商积极进行筹设,却难以获得中国政府的认同而终告失败。这种情况显示,医学的国际传播绝不只是医学专业的问题而已,牵涉所及的还有传与受双方的政治、社会、商业,甚至心理等许多因素的彼此交互作用,到了基督教传教士接替东印度公司医生成为在华传播西医的重要动力时,又加上了宗教的因素。

[14] 广州商馆呈报雇用柯克斯的信函中,说明他是当时在广州开业的医生,将只在每年贸易季广州商馆人员在当地期间担任助理医生职务,因此薪水也只是正式助理医生一半的500英镑(EIC/G/12/282,no page,“15 December 1832:Letter to the Honorable Court of the Directors,para.5.”)。但董事会对柯克斯不太满意,因为他原来是获准经中国到印度,不料却在中国定居并和美国人合伙开业,后来董事会因为他只支领半薪而予同意(EIC/R/10/62,“6 March 1833”;“15 May 1833”.)。

[134] The Canton Register,15 May 1838,p.81.郭雷枢的讣闻及传文都提到,他离华后,包含葡人的在华外人集体为他陈情,希望英国政府崇功报德发给他退休年金,结果惊动首相巴麦尊(Lord Palmerston)出面而促成其事(Proceedings of the Royal Society of Edinburgh,Vol.10,November 1878 to July 1880,p.339,“Dr.Thomas Richardson Colledge”;The Medical Times and Gazette,15 November 1879,p.568,“Obituary”;Dictionary of National Biography,London:Oxford University Press,1917,Vol.4,p.787,“Thomas Richardson Colledge”。)

[136] 郭雷枢究竟主持或只是参与广州诊所的成立,尚有待厘清。《中华丛论》于1833年10月报道广州诊所消息时,只说澳门眼科医院成立的翌年(1828年),广州的医生们效法其例而成立广州诊所,并未提到这些医生的姓名与成立经过(The Chinese Repository,2:6,October 1833,pp.276-277,“Canton Dispensary”);而1834年龙思泰(Andrew Ljungstedt)化名“慈善家”(A Philanthropist)撰写出版的《澳门眼科医院纪略》(A Brief Account of an Ophthalmic Institution)一书,则说广州诊所是“郭雷枢在布莱福的协助下奠定基础”(p.22);但布莱福传记的作者欧伯侯泽(Ellis P.Oberholtzer)却说,当时由一些在华美国商人支付薪水的布莱福,被选定来开办及主持这家类似澳门眼科医院的广州诊所,欧氏并进一步认为眼科医院由郭雷枢创立,而广州诊所的成功则完全归之于布莱福,见E.P.Oberholtzer,Philadelphia:A History of the City and Its People,Philadelphia:S.J.Clarke Publishing Co.,1912,Vol.4,pp.345-347,“James H.Bradford”。
