"Who is it?" A vigilant voice came from the room: "It's so late, what can I do?"
"Asia, it's me." Sokov said, "Open the door for me."
The next moment, the door opened, and Asiya jumped directly into Sokov's arms, and said with some excitement: "Misha, why are you here?"
Sokov gently patted Asiya on the back and said with a smile: "I heard that you took the initiative to sign up to come to the front line, and I came here specifically to see you."
The two hugged outside the door for a while. Asiya suddenly remembered that this was the dormitory of a field hospital. People were coming and going. If they were seen by others, they would inevitably gossip. She quickly called to Sokov: "Misha, it's too cold outside.
, let’s go inside and talk.”
Sokov followed Asiya into the room. He felt that the room was warm. He looked around and found a stove in the middle of the room. It was precisely because of the existence of this stove that Sokov felt the heat after entering the room.
Seeing that Sokov noticed the stove in the room, Asiya explained to him: "The dean said that it was cold at night and it would be impossible to sleep without heating, so he specially installed a stove for me here. You also
Don't tell me, after the stove was lit, the room was very warm."
Sokov found a seat and sat down, and asked Asiya with concern: "Asiya, I heard that you performed operations on a dozen wounded people today. How was it? Are you tired?"
"It's a lie to say I'm not tired," Asiya said: "After one day of surgery, I felt like I couldn't stand upright. But when I thought about the wounded people I treated, they would have the chance to return to the battlefield after recovery.
, I feel happy in my heart.”
After hearing what Asiya said, Sokov couldn't help but said with emotion: "It would be great if every injured person recovered and was discharged from the hospital."
"Misha, what you said is every doctor's dream, but it is impossible." Asiya said with a gloomy expression: "Many of the wounded I treated successfully got off the operating table, but after
Not long after, he died of wound infection. This damn infection caused the sacrifice of many of our commanders and soldiers in vain."
Speaking of wound infection, Sokov unconsciously thought of Vatutin. You must know that the general's injury was not serious. The reason why he died in the end was entirely due to the postoperative wound infection and the lack of use.
Appropriate anti-inflammatory drugs were used to treat it, which led to the tragedy.
"What anti-inflammatory drugs do the wounded usually use?"
"Disulfamide." Asiya replied: "This drug has a good anti-inflammatory effect. We basically use this drug."
"Compared with previous drugs, disulfide is indeed a good anti-inflammatory drug." Sokov said: "But in order to effectively prevent postoperative infection, the anti-inflammatory effect of this drug is still a little bit worse."
“Is there a better anti-inflammatory drug than disulfide?”
"Asiya, why did you forget?" Seeing that Asiya did not remember the best anti-inflammatory drug, Sokov reminded her: "When I was hospitalized in Lubyanka last time, the penicillin I used was the best anti-inflammatory drug.
medicine, its anti-inflammatory effect is far better than disulfide."
"Misha, after you reminded me, I remembered it." Asiya nodded and said: "Your condition was dangerous at the beginning, and the doctor took a huge risk to give you penicillin. But he didn't expect it.
The effect is so good, it not only avoids postoperative infection, but also greatly shortens your hospitalization time."
"Asia, since you know that penicillin has a good anti-inflammatory effect, why don't you use this drug on the wounded?"
"Misha, it's not that I don't want to give penicillin to the wounded." After hearing this, Asiya said bitterly: "It's because the dean didn't allow it. He said that these medicines were given to us by the Allies, and
It was put into use rashly without rigorous human experiments. If it is used on the wounded, it may cause unexpected consequences."
Sokov did not expect that the director of the field hospital in his army would have such a confused understanding. Their self-righteousness would lead to a considerable number of our soldiers dying due to postoperative infections. These battle-hardened soldiers
The soldier did not fall on the battlefield fighting the German army, but died in the pain of postoperative infection. Thinking of this, Sokov felt that he needed to talk to the director of the field hospital to correct his wrong view.
.
Thinking of this, Sokov raised his hand and looked at the time, thinking about whether it was appropriate to talk to the dean so late. Asiya saw Sokov looking at the time and immediately misunderstood: "Misha, are you in a hurry?
Rush back?"
"No, I was just checking the time." Sokov quickly explained to Asiya: "Since I'm here, I have to stay with you for a while."
"If you have something to do, just go ahead and do it." But Asiya obviously didn't appreciate it, and even said to Sokov: "Don't delay the business for me. We are still young and will spend a lot of time together in the future.
It’s here.”
Hearing the obvious element of expelling guests from Asiya's words, Sokov was really dumbfounded. He just raised his hand to look at the time out of habit, which caused Asiya's misunderstanding. But since she let him leave, then
It was obviously inappropriate to stay. So Sokov stood up and said to Asiya: "Okay, Asiya, I'll leave first and come back to see you when I have time."
Seeing Sokov leaving Asya's residence, Koshkin immediately came up to him and asked with concern: "Comrade Commander, shall we go back now?"
"Wait a minute, Koshkin." Sokov thought of the conversation he had just had with Asya, and felt the need to talk to the director of the hospital in order to save more lives of the wounded: "I want to talk to the director.
Let’s talk, do you know where he is?”
Koshkin heard what Sokov said and immediately misunderstood what he meant. He thought he wanted to tell the dean and ask him to take more care of Asya, so he took the initiative and said: "I know, Comrade Commander. If you want to see him,
I can take you there now."
"Take me there." Sokov said, "I have something important to talk to him about."
A few minutes later, Sokov and the dean were sitting face to face.
"Comrade Commander," the dean said respectfully, "Why did you come out so quickly?"
"I wanted to talk to you, so I came out." Sokov's time was precious and he didn't want to talk in circles with the other party, so he said directly: "I want to ask, since your hospital has the army headquarters allocating
Penicillin, why not give it to the wounded?"
The dean had the same idea as Koshkin, thinking that Sokov was talking to him to tell him to take more care of Asya, but he didn't expect that the other party actually talked about penicillin directly. He hesitated for a while, and then said: "
Comrade Commander, I don’t give this medicine to the wounded for their sake.”
"What, you don't use this best anti-inflammatory drug for the wounded, or are you thinking about them?" After hearing this, Sokov sneered and said, "Did I hear correctly?"
"Yes, Comrade Commander, you heard that right." The dean said plausibly: "As far as I know, the penicillin provided to us by the Allied Forces was hastily released without human testing at all. I can
We don’t want our commanders and fighters to become their guinea pigs.”
"Comrade Dean," Sokov said angrily after waiting for the dean to finish speaking: "I don't know who put such ridiculous ideas into your mind. I was seriously injured last year. If it hadn't been for the use of
A large amount of penicillin prevented wound inflammation, and I might have died of postoperative wound infection long ago. I have personally experienced the magic of penicillin, and its efficacy is several times better than the disulfide used today."
"But Comrade Commander," after hearing what Sokov said, the dean said aggrievedly: "We have just popularized anti-inflammatory drugs like disulfide, and before they can be promoted on a large scale, we need to change to another drug with better efficacy and
Is this appropriate for a new drug with unknown side effects?”
"Very appropriate, Comrade Dean." Sokov, who came from a later generation, naturally had a clear understanding of the efficacy of penicillin. He felt that in order to reduce the postoperative infection of the wounded, penicillin must be used on a large scale. "I think it is used
For injured patients who take penicillin, the chance of postoperative infection will be greatly reduced..."
When Sokov was explaining the superiority of penicillin, the dean kept nodding, expressing his approval of Sokov's statement, but he was full of disdain in his heart, secretly saying that you are not a doctor, so what qualifications do you have to judge here. What if?
Sokov was not his superior's superior, and he might have left in a hurry.
When Sokov's words came to an end and he picked up the tea cup on the table to drink water, the dean asked tentatively: "Comrade Commander, use penicillin for all the wounded. Our inventory is obviously not enough. So I plan to just
Penicillin is given to some of the seriously wounded, and disulfide is used to treat inflammation of the rest of the wounded. What do you think?"
Seeing the dean asking for instructions in such a low voice, Sokov could not say anything else. He could only nod and said: "Okay, Comrade dean, then you can try it on some seriously injured people first and see if they use penicillin."
What is the effect?"
After convincing the dean to use penicillin to treat the wounded, Sokov and Koshkin took the guard company back to the headquarters in a car.
Seeing Sokov's appearance, Sidorin immediately came up to him and asked with concern: "Comrade Commander, are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Sokov replied casually. Realizing that Sidorin's question was unusual, he quickly asked: "Chief of Staff, why are you asking me like this?"
"The reason is very simple." Sidorin said: "I heard that on the way to Puutusk Town, you encountered enemies disguised as our troops. Although the enemies were quickly eliminated, I still feel sorry for you.
Security concerns.”
"Chief of Staff, thank you for your concern." Sokov replied with a smile: "With the protection of Koshkin and the guard company, I will be fine."
"By the way, Chief of Staff." Sokov remembered that he asked the field hospital of the 6th Guards Division to use penicillin to treat the wounded, and quickly said to Sidorin: "I plan to let the field hospital of the 6th Guards Division use penicillin to treat the wounded.
, use penicillin to treat injured commanders and combatants. The amount of penicillin they have in stock must not be large. Later, you call the director of the post-processing department and ask him to send someone to send a batch of penicillin to the field hospital of the 6th Guards Division.
"
Sidorin did not understand the name of the medicine Sokov said, and asked: "What should we send to the field hospital of the 6th Guards Division?"
"Penicillin." Sokov thought that Sidorin had not heard what he said clearly, so he repeated it again, and finally said: "This is a particularly effective anti-inflammatory drug. If used on the wounded, it can greatly reduce the risk of surgery."
Possibility of subsequent infection.”
"Is it really that magical?" Sidorin asked in surprise.
Sokov nodded and then expressed his understanding: "You know, General Vatutin was attacked by Bandera elements and was unfortunately injured. In fact, his injury was not serious, but why did he die later?
?The main reason was caused by postoperative infection. After I was seriously injured, I was sent to the underground hospital in Lubyanka. If penicillin had not been used, even if I could save my life, I am afraid that the recovery period would have been greatly prolonged."
Both Penicillin and Sidorin knew that Sokov was injured and hospitalized. Now that Sokov said that he could recover and be discharged from the hospital, Penicillin made a lot of money. Sidorin nodded.
: "Okay, Comrade Commander, I will call the Minister of Logistics immediately and ask him to arrange a vehicle as soon as possible to send Penicillin to the field hospital in Puutusk Town."
"In addition to the 6th Guards Division, there are also the 1st and 120th Guards Divisions, as well as the field hospitals of the 3rd Infantry Division. Some penicillin must also be sent to them." Sokov ordered Sidorin: "Use penicillin.
The more wounded there are, the more commanders and fighters will be able to return to the battlefield."
"No problem," Sidorin replied: "I will discuss an allocation quantity with the logistics minister to ensure that each division's field hospital can be allocated a sufficient amount of penicillin."
"It's up to you to handle this matter." Sokov specifically reminded Sidorin: "After the penicillin is distributed, special personnel need to be sent to keep an eye on it to ensure that several field hospitals are using penicillin to treat the wounded."
"That's for sure, Comrade Commander." Sidorin said: "I'm worried that someone is pretending to use this precious anti-inflammatory drug on the wounded just to perfuse you, but in fact other cheap products are used, so they are treated
Supervision is completely necessary.”
Sokov raised his hand and looked at the time. Seeing that it was almost midnight, he said to Sidorin: "Chief of Staff, it's getting late. I will be on duty for you tonight. You can go back in peace."
Rest, you must be exhausted after so many days of work."
Faced with Sokov's kindness, Sidorin was naturally very grateful, but he still rejected Sokov: "Thank you, Comrade Commander. We just launched an attack on the German defense area today, and there are many
How can I, as chief of staff, leave my post without authorization at such a time when there are so many uncertainties?"
Seeing that Sidorin insisted on staying on duty, Sokov could not say anything else. He could only nodded to him and said: "Okay, Comrade Chief of Staff, you will still be on duty tonight. If there is anything urgent,
If something happens, no matter what time it is, remember to send someone to wake me up, do you understand?"
"Don't worry, Comrade Commander." Sidorin replied: "I can handle general affairs. If it is something that cannot be handled, I will send someone to call you."
Sokov suddenly realized that he had been back for such a long time but had never seen Ponedelin. He couldn't help but ask: "Comrade Chief of Staff, why didn't I see the deputy commander? Where did he go?"
