This is the Affiliated Hospital of Daming Medical College in Beijing.
"You have tuberculosis, and there is currently no cure."
The doctor Lu Zhengyang shook his head and said to the patient in front of him.
Tuberculosis was still a very common disease in the Ming Dynasty, and it was still an incurable disease.
If you get this disease, you are basically waiting to die slowly, and you will still have extremely painful coughing and coughing up blood until you die.
Look at the young man in front of you. He is only in his 20s, but he is suffering from such a disease. His face is pale and his body is thin. He has already reached the advanced stage of tuberculosis, and there is no cure for it.
"Doctor, doctor, please, please, please cure my husband."
When the young woman next to her, Mrs. Fan, heard this, she couldn't help crying. Her life was really bad. After marrying Ren Sanlang, Ren Sanlang got tuberculosis. He kept coughing and looked pale.
In the past few years, I have traveled all over the country and visited many places to see doctors. I heard that the Affiliated Hospital of Daming Medical College in the Beijing-Tianjin area has the best medical skills in the Ming Dynasty, so I traveled thousands of miles to see a doctor here in Beijing.
The result was such a reply.
If Ren Sanlang really passes away, it will be a disaster for Paradigm. In this era, after a man dies, a woman's life will be very sad, especially since Fan does not even have a child.
It's even sadder.
When the time comes, Ren Sanlang's relatives will inevitably be destitute and rob Ren Sanlang's family property. As for Fan Shi, there might be a more tragic fate waiting for her.
"Doctor...cough cough cough...cough cough, doctor, is it really, really hopeless?"
When Ren Sanlang heard this, his face became even paler. He could not stop coughing after saying a word and was out of breath. Tuberculosis is like this, making people extremely painful.
"Currently, there is really no cure or treatment."
Lu Zhengyang shook his head and said: "And I want to tell the people around you to pay more attention to precautions. Your disease can also be transmitted to others, and it is extremely contagious."
Hearing Lu Zhengyang's words, Fan and Ren Sanlang immediately fell silent, because ever since they got the tuberculosis, people around them felt like seeing the god of plague when they saw them, and they couldn't avoid them, and they didn't even dare to say a word to Ren Sanlang.
Mrs. Fan supported her husband Ren Sanlang and was about to leave silently. At this time, Zhang Xingjian came over and said: "I have a newly researched new drug here that may cure your tuberculosis. Do you want to give it a try?
"
"Zhang Xingjian~"
Seeing Zhang Xingjian, Lu Zhengyang also shouted.
"Senior Brother Lu!"
Zhang Xingjian also smiled and greeted him. This Lu Zhengyang was also an outstanding student who graduated from Daming Medical College. He had studied medical skills with Zhang Zhigang for more than a year, so he also knew Zhang Xingjian.
"Have you invented a new medicine again?"
Lu Zhengyang asked with a smile.
The young junior brother in front of me is an extraordinary person. He has a good family background and loves to study. He has studied medicine with Professor Zhang Zhigang since he was a child. Although he is very young, he already has a good medical level.
"Well, this is also an accidental discovery."
"I got something that can kill streptococci and mycobacteria in the laboratory, and this mycobacterium is the main culprit of tuberculosis. I wondered if it could be used to treat tuberculosis."
Zhang Xingjian also said with a smile.
The two of them were chatting. Ren Sanlang and Fan on the side were naturally confused by what they heard, but it did not prevent them from kneeling down immediately and said: "We are willing to give it a try, and we will treat it like a dead horse and a living horse doctor."
.”
"You two, please get up, you two, please get up!"
Zhang Xingjian helped the two of them up, and then said very seriously: "This medicine is a newly developed medicine. No relevant experiments have been conducted yet. I don't know whether it can cure tuberculosis. I can only say that it does.
There is hope that tuberculosis can be cured, but it may not be curable, or it may cause side effects.”
"If you are willing to give it a try, you can sign the relevant agreement. I can provide you with this drug for free and let you stay in the hospital for free for a period of observation."
Zhang Xingjian looked at the two of them and reminded them very seriously.
"Yes, yes, we are willing as long as there is hope."
Mrs. Fan nodded repeatedly, and Ren Sanlang had difficulty speaking, so he nodded in agreement.
"Okay, come and sign the relevant agreement, and I will arrange for someone to use this medicine for you."
Zhang Xingjian nodded and said.
"Junior brother, you can't mess with this new medicine."
Lu Zhengyang quickly reminded.
In recent years, Daming Medical College has researched many new drugs and new treatments, and many lives have been lost during the experiments, so we must be cautious, no matter how cautious, to be careful.
"I know, but my grandpa also said that we should give it a try."
Zhang Xingjian nodded solemnly and said.
"That's okay."
"This Ren Saburo's tuberculosis has reached an advanced stage. If he is not cured, he won't be able to live for long. Let's just treat him like a dead horse."
Lu Zhengyang looked at Ren Sanlang and nodded.
After hearing Lu Zhengyang's words, Ren Sanlang and Fan's faces became even uglier and paler. After they had spoken to this extent, of course they knew about Ren Sanlang's condition.
Now we can only hope to see if this new drug can cure Ren Saburo's tuberculosis.
Soon, after signing the agreement, the hospital injected Ren Sanlang with penicillin extracted from Zhang Xingjian's laboratory, and arranged for Ren Sanlang to stay in a special ward of the hospital.
Starting from the injection of penicillin, Zhang Xingjian came to see Ren Sanlang every morning, noon and evening, and recorded his symptoms. At the same time, thanks to the reputation and scale of the Affiliated Hospital of Daming Medical College, many people came to see the doctor.
Zhang Xingjian also easily found eight related patients suffering from pneumonia, tuberculosis and other diseases that were almost incurable at this stage.
These patients were all placed in the special ward by Zhang Xingjian. While they were treated with penicillin and other drugs, the effects of the treatment were observed in detail.
It only took a few days for the results to show.
"Sister Zhang, if your son continues treatment for a day or two, he will be almost fully recovered and can go home by then."
"Haha, you can go home soon."
Zhang Xingjian carefully examined the child in front of him, and he was extremely excited.
Penicillin is miraculous in treating pneumonia.
Pneumonia during this period is almost also a disease that has no cure. This disease easily occurs in children. Once pneumonia occurs, it is almost difficult to get over it, and the mortality rate is extremely high.
This was the case for the child in front of me. He had pneumonia and could not be cured by any medication. However, after being injected with penicillin, his condition was greatly improved in just a few days, and the effect was surprisingly good.
Not only has the child's fever gone away, he is no longer coughing, and his appetite has improved. He is expected to be discharged from the hospital soon.
"Thank you, thank you!"
"Doctor Zhang, you are our family's savior!"
"Come on, kowtow to your benefactor quickly!"
When the 20-year-old woman in front of her, Ms. Zhang, heard this, she was immediately overjoyed and quickly kowtowed to Zhang Xingjian to express her gratitude.
"No, no, this is what we should do, what we should do."
Zhang Xingjian smiled and shook his head, and then came to Ren Sanlang's ward.
"Well, the situation has improved a lot, and your breathing is much smoother. I estimate that if you continue to take the medicine for a few more days, you will be cured."
Using a stethoscope, Zhang Xingjian listened carefully to Ren Sanlang's breathing. Compared with a few days ago, his breathing was much smoother. Looking at Ren Sanlang's face, he also started to turn rosy.
"Dr. Zhang, it is indeed much better. I cough less and less now, my breathing is much more comfortable, and my appetite has improved."
"Thank you, thank you!"
Ren Saburo expresses his heartfelt thanks.
I was already in despair, but I didn't expect that the effect of this new drug would be so effective. In just a few days, I had the most obvious feeling.
My breathing is easier, my coughing is less, and even when I cough, it is not as violent and uncomfortable as before. When I coughed in the past, I wanted to cough up my lungs, but now I feel much better.
At night, because there is less coughing, everyone can sleep more peacefully and comfortably. Their mental state is much better, and their appetite is getting better and better these days.
"Yes, thank you so much, Doctor Zhang, you are our family's lifesaver!"
"Please accept my worship!"
Fan also saw all this, so she also saluted Zhang Xingjian solemnly.
"no, I'm fine!"
"I am very happy to be able to cure Brother Ren's disease."
Zhang Xingjian smiled and waved his hands repeatedly.
The penicillin I accidentally discovered was very effective in treating lung diseases. In just a few days, most of the patients with lung diseases were already cured.
"What is certain is that Penicillium has very good effects on pneumonia and tuberculosis. It is a miracle drug for treating these two diseases. The only trouble is the cultivation and purification of penicillin. This is a troublesome thing and cannot be done on a large scale.
In terms of production, this doesn’t mean much.”
"If a large-scale cultivation and production method can be developed, then this drug will be of great value. Maybe I can open a pharmaceutical factory by myself."
"Well, let's study it more carefully and see if it is effective in treating other diseases."
After Zhang Xingjian carefully examined several patients, he kept thinking in his heart.
After these days of treatment and observation, penicillin is very effective in treating pneumonia and tuberculosis. However, there is currently no medicine that can effectively treat these two diseases, and they can be said to be incurable diseases.
