Chapter 1501, The Magical Great Ming Medical Technique
Hearing Korbanda's words, Li Jing immediately blushed slightly and smiled and said: "It's okay to issue an IOU. We will detail the credibility of your Persian Empire."
"I have brought all the medicines you need with the ship. Just order people to move them down."
To be honest, this time it was indeed too dark.
But it’s not bad, otherwise how can we make money? Sihai Trading Company is not a living bodhisattva, but its purpose is to make money. The more money it makes, the happier the shareholders behind it will be.
What's more, if you work so hard to come overseas, is it not for money, but for love and peace?
"Haha, you Ming people are so unprofitable that you can't afford to do it early."
When Korbanda heard this, he immediately shook his head again and said.
These Ming people probably have already calculated everything and are just waiting to kill themselves.
But what can I do, even if I don't get stabbed? I just hope that the doctors of the Ming Dynasty can really control the disease and cure their soldiers.
After hastily writing an IOU to Li Jing and stamping it with his general's seal, Korbanda went to see Shen Yao and the others non-stop to see how they controlled and treated the disease.
Shen Yao was busy here, dividing the patients into different categories for placement and quality. At the same time, he began to carry out a large amount of disinfection to eliminate mosquitoes, flies, etc. in the ward, and then treated the patients according to the severity and severity of their condition. No distinction should be made.
Patients with serious illness will receive priority treatment and be isolated separately, while those with mild illness will be isolated first and observed.
Beside Shen Yao, Sardar, a military doctor accompanying the Persian army, has been following Shen Yao. He carefully watched everything Shen Yao did and recorded it in detail.
"I have said that all the water that everyone drinks must be boiled. Boil it and let it cool before mixing it. Patients should drink more hot water and drink more hot water. Why do you still give them boiled water? Drink cold water?"
Shen Yao was extremely angry and knocked over the bowl of a soldier who was drinking water.
The surrounding Persian soldiers immediately looked at Shen Yao, and some even looked extremely unhappy.
However, the translator around Shen Yao also quickly translated Shen Yao's words for everyone.
"Doctor, they don't understand why they have to drink hot water, and what's the difference between raw water and boiled water?"
Sardar asked very puzzledly.
"Why?"
"Of course, this is because raw water contains a large number of bacteria and microorganisms, which may cause illness. After boiling, most of the bacteria can be killed, making it less likely to cause illness. In addition, drinking more hot water is good for the body. circulation and urination to expel the disease."
"Don't you know this? How did you become a doctor?"
Shen Yao looked at Sardar and asked.
"This~"
Sadal was immediately dumbfounded. There are so many details about drinking water?
"However, it takes a lot of time and firewood to boil water, and it also has to be cooled, which is really troublesome."
Sardar thought for a while and said.
"That's not what I care about. If you want to survive, just do as I say."
Shen Yao replied calmly, and then started to get busy again.
The entire Arak colonial stronghold has become extremely busy with the arrival of Shen Yao and others. Every area has been divided and included in the ward. No one is allowed to enter or leave at will without orders.
A large amount of lime began to be spread throughout the colonial stronghold, mosquito coils were lit in every house, and soldiers suffering from malaria quickly took cinchona cream.
Everything started to become orderly and busy.
The next day, Korbanda came to the ward early for inspection. The first thing he came to was the malaria ward. When he saw some soldiers who were dying and about to die from the disease after taking Golden Chicken yesterday,
After taking the cream, I got better quickly.
He was a little unbelievable that there was such a magic medicine that could quickly cure malaria.
You must know that there is almost no effective treatment for malaria in Persia, and the mortality rate of those who are sick is very high.
The people of the Ming Dynasty actually had this miraculous medicine in their hands, and it had such miraculous effects. Yesterday, I was about to die of illness, but as soon as I took the medicine, I quickly got better.
My face is rosy, my mental state is much better, my appetite has improved, and I no longer feel hot and cold anymore.
“It’s incredible!”
Sardar, who followed, also said in disbelief.
"This cinchona is the most effective medicine for treating malaria. I suggest you prepare more of it in the future."
"Based on my research here in West Africa, malaria is a very common disease here."
Shen Yao heard their sighs and smiled slightly.
When cinchona cream was first introduced to the Ming Dynasty, countless doctors of the Ming Dynasty were amazed by its miraculous curative effects. Who would have thought that there is such a magical medicine in the world that can cure malaria so quickly.
You must know that in the past, malaria was an untreatable disease. It could be divided into many types and treated using different methods, but the mortality rate was still very high.
But with the cinchona tree, the treatment of malaria has become extremely simple. Take it directly with water and it will be cured quickly.
"Write it down~"
Korbanda quickly ordered someone to write it down, and then continued his patrol.
After a day of hard work yesterday, many patients suffering from malaria have recovered, and those who are not serious are even able to move around.
In addition, people suffering from yellow fever, cholera, and typhoid also improved under the drug treatment prescribed by Shen Yao and others. What's more important is that.
Previously, there were thousands of new cases every day, but after yesterday's disinfection of the entire colonial stronghold and the use of mosquito coils and mosquito nets, miraculously, there were only less than 300 new patients today.
By the third day, the number of new patients dropped directly to a few dozen. It was obvious that the epidemic was under very effective control and the number of new cases was greatly reduced.
This made Korbanda feel relieved. In addition, a large number of malaria patients began to recover. Only a few seriously ill patients were still under observation. Almost all malaria patients had been cured.
This also calmed down the originally shaken military morale.
Originally, due to the raging disease, these Persian soldiers who came from afar became irritable and restless, and all kinds of dissatisfaction spread in the military camp. If something happened, a mutiny was very likely to occur.
Now, under the effective treatment and control of Shen Yao's team, new cases have been greatly reduced, a large number of patients have recovered, and the morale of the military has quickly stabilized.
“It’s really incredible~”
"These Ming people actually didn't do anything special. Many of them seemed to have nothing to do with treating diseases, but the epidemic was miraculously brought under control quickly."
"what is this?"
Sardar has been thinking hard and still can't figure out that many of the things Shen Yao and the others do seem to have nothing to do with curing diseases.
Isolation to prevent mutual infection is understandable, but boiling water, drinking hot water, spreading lime throughout the city, and using mosquito coils and mosquito nets are a bit difficult to understand.
Unable to figure this out, he went to find Shen Yao.
At this time, Shen Yao was inspecting the Arak colonial stronghold, carefully observing the situation inside the colonial stronghold.
"No wonder it's so raging~"
"The sanitation conditions in these colonial strongholds built by the Spanish were too poor. There was no sewage system or independent huts. There was a mix of humans and animals. The drinking water was still river water, and the few wells were too close to the sources of pollution."
"Now we can roughly figure out the main ways of spreading the epidemic. Mosquitoes and drinking water must be the main ways of transmission."
"As long as we can control mosquitoes and drink boiled water, we can basically control the epidemic and prevent the spread of the disease."
Shen Yao took a notebook and recorded it carefully. This was a habit developed at Daming Medical College.
All students at Daming Medical College are required to carry pens and notebooks with them to record what they encounter in their daily lives.
Shen Yao has been here in West Africa for two years, and Shen Yao has been studying yellow fever, malaria, and cholera for more than a year. In fact, he has already roughly figured out the transmission routes of these diseases.
This time we came to the Arak colonial stronghold and quickly controlled the Persian epidemic, which also confirmed this point.
"I will sort it out carefully and then publish it to the Daming Medical Journal to make more people pay attention to the spread of diseases by mosquitoes."
Shen Yao silently wrote down all this. In recent years, Daming medical technology has achieved rapid development and breakthroughs. The most important point is that Daming Medical College is constantly conducting various researches. There are also Daming Medical Journals. Disseminate various effective treatments.
"Mr. Shen, Mr. Shen, I really don't understand why the epidemic can be controlled by your actions like this. Is this boiled water a miracle medicine?"
Sardar found the magic medicine and asked in confusion.
"I can't explain this for a while. If you want to figure this out, you may need to go to Daming to study medicine again."
The magic medicine looked at Sardar, smiled and replied.
These are all professors from the Daming Medical College. Based on the medical works and classics of the past dynasties, the doctors have carefully reviewed the epidemics that have occurred in the past dynasties, combined with the epidemics that have occurred in the Ming Dynasty, as well as many control and treatment methods. summed up.
It may not seem very useful, but it can be very effective in controlling the epidemic, cutting off the chain of epidemic transmission, and then using appropriate medicine according to the situation, and the disease will be cured naturally.
As for drinking more hot water, this is also a common sense that is now popular in the Ming Dynasty. Raw water contains a large number of bacteria and microorganisms, and raw water is very easy to contract diseases. Drinking more hot water can greatly reduce the disease. In the Ming Dynasty, In cities, there are now a large number of boiled water houses that specialize in selling boiled water.
