Yang Heshu took the pill in his hand and asked, "Is this useful?"
Man Bao said: "It's not very useful. It's just to drive away bad odors. It's better than nothing."
Yang Heshu put it in his mouth, and after holding it for a while, he felt the sweetness. After a while, the medicine in his mouth softened.
Yang Heshu: ...If it weren't for the faint medicinal smell, he wouldn't believe it was a medicine. Even with the medicinal smell, he actually wouldn't believe it.
He glanced at Zhou Man helplessly, feeling that she was still a child after all. But this could be regarded as joy in hardship.
After confirming that his son was fine, Yang Heshu handed him over to the nanny to carry him down, and then asked Man Bao and the others to freshen up and change clothes first.
It was a dusty journey, and if they hadn't been wearing cloaks, their hair would have been covered in dust.
During this period of washing, I took a break. After soaking in the hot water, Manbao exhaled.
There was a brazier in the room, which was quite warm. Manbao got dressed and sat on the wooden couch. A girl came in with a big towel to wipe her hair.
Man Bao was very tired after running for five and a half days. She just took a shower and came out. She couldn't help but feel sleepy as soon as the heat was off. She half-closed her eyes and asked, "When did Madam get sick?"
The girl paused for a moment and then replied respectfully: "I had a fever four days ago. I wasn't sure at first that it was an illness. I thought it was because I was tired. A day later, I got a pimple. I stayed up all day yesterday. I sent you three of them this morning."
No. Courtyard."
Man Bao opened his eyes and found that his pajamas were gone.
In fact, acne in adults is more dangerous than acne in children. Even strong adults may not be able to survive it.
It's strange, just like having a fever in people, it seems to be common for children to have a fever. Although it is also dangerous, they get used to it as soon as they catch it;
Unlike adults, who don't have a fever all year round. If the fever suddenly occurs and the fever is high, the probability of death and disability is much higher than that of children.
The first step before smallpox occurs is fever, and this symptom will accompany it until the end.
Therefore, under the same medical conditions, the mortality rate for adults is actually higher.
Man Bao didn't care that his hair was still dry, he stood up and said: "Bring me my coat, let's go to that No. 3 courtyard now and take a look."
The girl hurriedly went to get her clothes, and while helping her dress, she said, "Miss Man, your hair is not dry yet. If you go out in the cold wind now, you will get sick."
"Bring me my cloak." Just put on the cloak. Anyway, when you get there, you will go into the house and there won't be any cold wind.
When Man Bao came out with his clothes on, Bai Shan and Bai Erlang had already washed up and were talking to Yang Heshu in the lobby.
Seeing Manbao like this, he knew she was going out.
Yang Heshu stood up to take her to another hospital. He said to Bai Shan and Bai Erlang who stood up: "There are many patients there, so don't go there."
Bai Shan shook his head, "Brother Yang, we are here to help. Didn't you say that there are few doctors in the city? Although the two of us are not doctors, we can still do things like getting medicine."
They all took the pill, which is actually safer than others.
"Call Daji and the others." He said to Yang Heshu: "We can't help with external matters for the time being, so let's start with the patients from other hospitals."
Yang Heshu thought for a moment, and seeing his firm expression, he sighed and nodded, "That's fine."
So a group of people took a carriage to go to the other courtyards. Yang Heshu introduced the three courtyards to them by the way.
"These three courtyards were borrowed by me and others to accommodate patients. Some patients in the city are unwilling to leave home for treatment, but if they do not leave home, they may infect their families. Some patients still refuse to listen to the advice and are unwilling to be isolated at home.
Instead, I went out and sought medical treatment everywhere..."
This is also one of the important reasons why smallpox spread quickly in Xiazhou City.
"They disliked the crude medical sheds we built and did not want to live in Taoist temples or temples, so they established these three separate hospitals. Each hospital has two doctors, whose medical skills are considered the most advanced among the thirteen.
, but five or six people are still carried out of the other hospital every day."
Carrying it out means death.
People infected with smallpox could not be buried, and had to be burned to ashes before being given to their families.
Although he had already explained it, Yang Heshu insisted on doing such a thing, and there was still a lot of resentment among the people in the city. Originally, it was just the gentry expressing their dissatisfaction.
In the past few days, even ordinary people have been agitated. Even if Yang Heshu has been sending people to hide in the crowd to do ideological work, and he has been on the front line, he still cannot suppress this situation.
Therefore, the security in the city has been tighter these days, for fear of someone breaking through.
only……
Yang Heshu rubbed his forehead and said to the three of them: "Now there is smallpox in the company. There have been more soldiers infected in the past two days. Major General Gong and I are not sure how many days we can last."
Man Bao said: "There is a prescription for treating smallpox in the hands of Dr. Lu. It was modified during a great epidemic in Jinzhou. It is the best prescription we know so far. As long as medicine can keep up, there is a 60-70% chance.
.”
Yang Heshu perked up, "Really?"
Man Bao nodded.
Yang Heshu began to ponder, and after a while he said: "I will spread the word about this matter, and I won't talk about the success rate."
Man Bao understood that if he wanted to reassure the military and the people, he had to hide this, or put it in a higher level.
When he said this, he arrived at No. 3 of the other courtyard, which was not very far from the county government office. Man Bao put on his hat and helped Bai Shan's hand to get out of the car.
There were quite a few soldiers guarding the door, as many as ten. It was obvious that the courtyard was not very peaceful either inside or outside.
When they saw Yang Heshu coming with someone, they bowed their heads and saluted, and then put the person in after a brief inspection.
Only when people inside come out to inspect will the inspection be stricter.
After entering, Yang Heshu said: "The east hospital is full of male patients, and the west hospital is full of female patients. The middle hall is used as the dividing line. Which side do you want to go to first?"
"Shall we go see my sister-in-law first?"
Yang Heshu walked forward without hesitation, nodded and said: "Okay."
Obviously, we were heading towards the West Courtyard from the beginning.
The courtyard was quite clean, but there were constant sounds of crying, both from adults and from children.
Many people were walking around the courtyard carrying water. Man Bao took a look at their clothes and saw that they were all uniform, so he looked at Yang Heshu.
"These are people from each family who come to serve. There are servants and family members. Each person can bring at most one person to take care of them. I asked them to wear uniform clothes so that they can be easily distinguished when coming in and out."
If they wait on people closely, they may spread smallpox, so they cannot enter or exit easily.
Man Bao nodded and continued walking in with Yang Heshu. He said: "Some people have had acne, but most people have not. During this time, people who are serving me have been getting acne, so I think prevention and treatment are also important.
It’s very important, but the doctors can’t come up with a good prescription.”
