Li Ran felt something was wrong and diagnosed more than a dozen patients in a row. He also found that most of the patients in the medical clinic had three yang syndromes, and the root cause of these three yang syndromes was that Shaoyang was depressed.
.
The reason why the Shaoyang meridians cause yang stagnation and heat transformation is mostly from the inside to the outside. Therefore, Li Ran can immediately conclude that this is definitely not a disease caused by external evils invading the outside!
If it is invaded by external evils, you should first attack the outside and then go inside. Instead of directly going inside to dissolve the heat.
Although the symptoms of these patients vary in severity, most of them have a deep pulse, which means that the disease is inside, not outside. Occasionally, there are patients with a strong pulse, which means that the heat has entered the inside and turned into heat. The abdomen is full and the whole body is full.
Severe symptoms are especially obvious. It is obvious that these patients are actually suffering from diseases, which are due to the stagnation of yang and the heat that cannot be resolved.
To put it simply, these diseases should be caused by eating!
After some further diagnosis, Li Ran gradually gained some insights.
Li Ran vaguely realized that these illnesses did not look like malaria at all, but rather seemed to be caused by food poisoning!
Thinking of this, Li Ran couldn't help but trembled. He hurriedly looked up at the busy doctors and servants in the hospital. He saw that they did not have any protective items on their faces, not even a veil, while the patients inside and outside the hospital
Many people suffer from coughing and wheezing.
If it is really a malaria, how can these doctors and servants not be afraid once human-to-human transmission occurs?
"Husband, you have sorted it out. Look."
At this time, Ji Le piled the prepared prescriptions on the table, two copies in total.
"The one on the left is a patient with mild symptoms. The medicine used by the hospital is very mild. Bupleurum is the main prescription, supplemented by heat-clearing and detoxifying."
"The one on the right is a prescription for severely ill people. It contains several powerful medicines such as Daphne and Euphorbia. These are rarely used in daily life, so they are currently in short supply. If it were an ordinary medical clinic, I would definitely get it now.
There is no such a large number. And most of the people who died today were because of the lack of these medicines, so..."
As Jile spoke, he picked up several prescriptions on the table.
The scale of this medical center is already one of the best in Zhengyi City. But even so, if they still don't have all the medicinal materials needed for seriously ill patients, let alone other medical centers.
"It clears away heat and detoxifies?..."
"This...is really weird."
Li Ran carefully looked at the prescriptions in Ji Le's hands. Regardless of whether the illness was mild or severe, the medicinal properties of the medicinal materials used were basically to clear away heat and detoxify, supplemented by strengthening the body, or supplementing the attack.
"Weird?"
Ji Le looked at him with confusion and asked.
Just listen to Li Ran say:
"The Yellow Emperor said: When the five epidemics come, they all tend to be infected. Regardless of the size, the symptoms are similar."
"Disease can be transmitted from person to person, and the symptoms of the disease should be similar. But the symptoms of these patients cannot be transmitted from person to person? Secondly, although the symptoms are very similar, the cause... does not seem to be unique to malaria.
Cause."
"What's more, why did this disease suddenly break out overnight? This is obviously too strange."
"In addition, the malaria is caused by the misalignment of yin and yang, and the mismatch of cold and heat. However, the climate in Zhengzhou this year is very smooth, with the same cold and heat, so where does the malaise come from?"
Regardless of the symptoms, the prescriptions prescribed by these doctors, or the speed of onset, Li Ran could not believe that this could actually be a malaria!
When Ji Le heard this, he couldn't help but frown and said:
"Husband, what you mean is...this is not a malaria disease?"
Li Ran shook his head silently, but did not say anything clearly.
Then, he dove into the crowd of patients and began to diagnose their pulses. After examining all the patients inside and outside the hospital, he immediately distributed the prescriptions on the table to them one by one according to the severity of the illness, and asked them to
Return home first, get and take medicine on time, and do not gather in the hospital to avoid unnecessary panic.
Of course, Li Ran is still unable to make an absolutely correct judgment through only one on-site inspection at a medical clinic.
What if it's survivor bias? As the most famous cognitive bias in later generations, Li Ran couldn't help but think that maybe this hospital might really be just a case, and there might be more serious patients who wouldn't be able to get into the hospital at all.
Where is the hotel?
So, for three consecutive days, he walked through the streets and alleys, going back and forth between large and small medical clinics. Zheng Yi said it was a big deal, but he visited all the medical clinics.
.
However, the more he saw patients, the more he became shuddered.
This is definitely not a malaria, but a mass food poisoning incident!
The reason is simple. Malignant diseases must be contagious, but this virus is not contagious. He has been extremely tired these past few days and his body has suddenly become much weaker. Logically speaking, this is the best opportunity for external evils to take advantage of it.
But to this day, he is still unscathed and has no signs of illness at all.
There are also doctors and servants in medical clinics. Although a small number of them have also been infected, most of them have never shown any signs of infection.
In other words, the menacing illness in the capital of Zheng is definitely not caused by malaria, there must be some other reason!
"If we follow the current treatment speed, can we save all these patients?"
Ji Le felt very unbearable when she saw the people who were suffering from illness. Now she only wanted to cure them all.
Li Ran looked at her and said softly:
"Don't worry, we will definitely be able to cure them all."
While the two were talking, Sun Wu and Owl Yi hurried back from outside. Seeing the sweat on their foreheads, Li Ran concluded that they must have gained something this time.
As expected, very important clues were revealed as soon as the two opened their mouths.
"According to my husband's instructions, Owl Yi and I have been tracking the activities of infected patients in the past few days. According to patient statistics from several major medical clinics in the city, most of the patients infected this time are concentrated in the west of the city. Although there are some patients in the south of the city,
The number is not large. In addition, there are almost no infected people in the east and north of the city. This time the malaria outbreak seems to have only occurred in the west of the city, and there seems to be no tendency to spread at all!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Sun Wu also noticed something was wrong, with a look of surprise in his eyes.
In fact, this is not difficult to understand. After all, the so-called malaria must spread on a large scale. It happened once in Qi State a few years ago, and Sun Wu still remembers it.
That plague was like a scourge, sweeping through dozens of villages in less than three days, and all nearby cities were affected. Countless people died, and the tragedy was unspeakable.
However, Zheng Yi's malaria this time, as he said, not only showed no signs of large-scale spread, but even the trend of the disease seemed extremely abnormal.
Isn't there something weird about this?
Li Ran felt a little more confident when he heard what Sun Wu said. He had long suspected that the illness in the city was caused by man-made causes. Now that there is news about Sun Wu, this is almost a certainty. "Okay! You two continue to the west of the city, and be sure to send someone to monitor the situation of each well!"
"Well?"
Ji Le frowned slightly, showing confusion on his face.
"This disease is really strange. If it is not a malaria disease, but it can poison so many people in a short period of time...poisoning in a well is the most likely scenario."
After Li Ran finished speaking, his eyes suddenly became sharp.
"There is no river in the city of Zhengyi. The people in the city rely on wells for food. Since the terrain in the west of the city is higher, underground undercurrents will inevitably converge to the south of the city where the terrain is lower. This has also led to a small number of people being poisoned in the south of the city.
."
"As for the east and north of the city, there is a river running through it outside the east gate. Therefore, for the sake of convenience, the people in the city often go to the river to get water, so the number of people who eat well water is reduced, so naturally they will not be poisoned. And
The north of the city is where the palace is, and most nobles live here. But now there are not many people infected with the disease in the north of the city, which shows that... the poisoner may live in the north of the city."
"No!"
After listening to Li Ran's analysis, Sun Wu and Owl Yi immediately headed west of the city without any hesitation.
Ji Le looked at the backs of the two people, then looked at Li Ran's firm eyes, and smiled for a moment:
