Seeing Man Bao enter the palace, Dr. Xiao, who had also stayed up most of the night, looked up from a pile of documents. He looked around and saw that there were not many people in the hospital, so he waved Man Bao to his office.
.
He took out an envelope, opened it, took out a piece of paper and gave it to her, "This is the prescription given by Dr. Lu yesterday."
Man Bao took it and saw that it was written in quite detail, including prescriptions for internal and external use.
This was much better than the recipe she had worked out all day and night yesterday. Manbao was so pleasantly surprised that he quickly took a closer look.
Doctor Xiao poured himself another cup of tea, took a sip and said: "During the Later Wei Dynasty, the Jinzhou area was in chaos due to war and famine. Anyway, it was very chaotic. Today the Wei army came over, but tomorrow it was occupied by the Northern Han Dynasty.
The dead piled up one on top of the other, and then smallpox broke out."
"The Lu family was a famous doctor in Jinzhou at that time, and this prescription was compiled using people's names. Not to mention the records of the Lu family, the official side said that those who later contracted smallpox could survive if they used the Lu family's medicine.
.”
Man Bao squeezed the prescription tightly and said, "This is an excellent prescription."
"That's right. Among the prescriptions we can find so far, this is the only one that can have such a cure rate. For the others, because the patients are different, it would be good if only one or two out of ten can survive."
Doctor Xiao looked at the prescription in her hand and sighed. After all, the prescription was made with human lives. The Lu family has saved countless people. Therefore, even if the descendants are unworthy, there will be times when they can't take over, and this prescription will be there.
, the Lu family has always had a place in the apricot forest.
This is Zuyin, and it is also the state that Imperial Physician Xiao, Imperial Physician Liu and others aspire to achieve.
"Mr. Lu has had acne, but you and Dr. Zheng have not. Smallpox likes to look for weak children. Dr. Zheng is in his prime and in good health, but you, on the other hand, are young. I heard that you learned medicine because you were in poor health since you were young.
?”
Man Bao was indeed frail since childhood, she nodded.
Doctor Xiao sighed, "Then you have to be careful."
Man Bao solemnly said: "I will be careful. By the way, Dr. Xiao, I was just about to tell you that there are not many doctors among us who have acne, and we have the most contact with patients when treating diseases, so we need to take some precautions."
…”
She dug into her sleeve pocket and took out a sealed piece of cloth to show him, "This is for covering your face. It's called a mask. I'll ask the Ministry of Household Affairs to allocate funds to the Ministry of Works to make some."
This is what Teacher Mo found for her last night. In addition to this, there is also a complete set of protective clothing, masks, gloves, goggles, etc.
He said that this is the most commonly used thing for epidemic prevention. It was invented in ancient times, but it is still in use today. It is just that through continuous improvement, the current protective effect is better than before, and it is also thinner and lighter.
However, the characteristic of protective clothing is that it is not breathable. Nowadays, at most, an internal circulation system is added.
Man Bao thought it would be enough to use an air purifier similar to Mingda's, but after asking, he found out that ordinary people can use this to isolate 90% of virus intrusions, but doctors cannot.
Because of their work, they are likely to be exposed to the virus directly.
Teacher Mo also knew that there were not many things in her world, so he just found the most basic version that could be found and gave it to her to let her see what could be used in her world, because besides her, there must be other things in that world.
There are many doctors.
Not to mention taking care of so many doctors, it was hard for her to even find an excuse to wear these things herself.
Man Bao rummaged around and found that they could only make masks. Things like gloves would not be possible in a short time because the material was not available in this world.
Even masks are different. Now she uses gauze layer by layer and sews it on cotton cloth, but she doesn’t know how effective it will be.
Unexpectedly, Doctor Xiao said after touching it: "This gauze is cheap, but this cotton is expensive. I'm afraid it will be difficult. How about using linen instead?"
The gauze used by Manbao is commonly used by their doctors for bandaging. It has large and sparse holes, so it is relatively cheap on the market, but gauze is more expensive.
Doctor Xiao touched it carefully and found that it was still fine cotton cloth, which was even more expensive.
Manbao hesitated for a moment and said: "It should be possible, but cotton is probably the best. It uses less material. You can ask the Ministry of Household Affairs to allocate more money, and you can make quite a few with one piece of cloth."
"I'll go back and talk to Dr. Liu, but it may not be possible," Dr. Xiao said: "Yesterday, the Ministry of Revenue shipped the medicinal materials, and today they sent the last ones. Dr. Liu is taking people to count them. We and
The Ministry of Revenue inquired about it, and they bought three times the amount of medicine according to the medicine list. Yesterday, a drug store had already raised the price. I am afraid you didn't know it when you entered the palace today. Yesterday evening, a drug store had already raised the price of some medicinal materials.
It was mentioned more than twice as much as before.”
He said: "The Ministry of Revenue will definitely intervene, but according to the rules of this dynasty, government orders do not issue business orders. The Ministry of Revenue must stabilize the price of medicines and have to pay to buy medicinal materials from other places to fill the market. Yesterday evening, the Minister of Revenue, Zuo Shilang
So he took the people and went south."
This means they have to go to other places to buy medicinal materials. The next cost will only be more. With the urine of the household department, they will definitely break a penny in half and spend it, let alone some fine cotton cloth, I am afraid it will be gauze.
You have to work hard to get it.
Manbao understood, nodded and said: "Then take this mask and pass it on to the imperial doctors and medical assistants in the imperial hospital. If here in the capital... also tell the doctors in the city, if the Ministry of Household Affairs does not allocate funds,
You can make some at home, as long as you scald and wash them properly."
Doctor Xiao wrote it down.
Man Bao stayed in Tai Hospital until noon, and finally waited until Dr. Liu and others who had gone to inventory the medicinal materials came back. She took out the prescriptions written down on her hand and circulated them to everyone.
Everyone has looked through it and found that although these prescriptions are not as good as the one given by Imperial Physician Lu, several of them are very simple and can be passed on to some poor people at home.
The recipe is not difficult. After everyone circulated it, most people memorized it. Those who didn't remember it just copied it.
Man Bao put away the manuscript and went to discuss with Imperial Physician Lu and Imperial Physician Zheng about the time to leave the city tomorrow.
"Let's go as soon as the city gate opens," Doctor Lu said: "The Imperial Guards are also ready. They will give us a ride."
Man Bao was puzzled, "Why do you still need the Imperial Guard to send you?"
Aren't the people escorting the medicinal materials the yamen and officials from the Ministry of Revenue?
Doctor Liu said: "The Imperial Guards have followed to Yongzhou, and they want to block the road from the north."
Man Bao understood, and after confirming the time to leave the city tomorrow, he went home. Doctor Lu and Doctor Zheng also went home. They had a final reunion dinner with their families tonight.
When he returned to Zhou Man's house, he saw Yin You sitting in the study drinking tea. He raised his head when he heard the movement. When he saw Zhou Man, he smiled slightly and said, "Now that you are gone, my needle that is inserted every half month can still be used."
