In the large tribe of Liaozi, because they value force more, the status of witches is not very high. Under the leader, they are barely on an equal footing with the elders in the tribe.
Wu Yin was one of Zhou Man's students, and like other barbarian students, he had to return to his country or tribe after completing his studies.
Because it involves diplomacy, Zhou Man also pays attention to the whereabouts of these students. Wu Yin is considered to be one with a better future. I heard that he was selected as the next successor of Wu within a few years after returning to the Liaozi Department.
However, that was when the father of the previous leader was in power. He became the shaman of the large tribe when Zhang Teng was the leader. Now...
Zhou Man looked around and asked, "I wonder where he is now? I want to talk to him about Madam's treatment plan."
There was no sense of panic that my identity might be revealed.
Bai Shan glanced at her with a smile, and also looked at the chief manager.
The chief manager was silent for a moment and then said: "Doctor Zhou, please wait a moment. I'll go and invite him right away."
As soon as the general manager left, Zhou Man looked back at the patient lying on the bed. After pondering for a moment, he said to Bai Shan: "You go out. Dress more tightly these days. Put on the anti-insect medicine bag I gave you. Don't call mosquitoes."
Bite..."
Bai Shan agreed, glanced at the person on the bed and whispered: "You should be more careful."
When Bai Shan went out, Zhou Man began to ponder. What is important about this disease is not only the patient itself, but also its contagiousness.
Moreover, this disease is not transmitted from person to person, so wearing a mask is basically useless. What matters is mosquitoes.
Zhou Man's gaze swept across the room, and his heart skipped a beat. Mosquitoes have legs and wings, and they can give birth to children, and their children can produce grandchildren. How can anyone guard against them?
Does the Chief's House think that malaria can be prevented by confining people in this backyard and preventing patients from coming into contact with the outside?
So, in ten days, how many patients have been infected in the corner outside where they can't see?
Did they know they had malaria and not ordinary typhoid fever?
Zhou Man had a headache.
Footsteps sounded, Zhou Man turned around and met Zhang Yin's eyes as he walked in.
The sullen Zhang Yin couldn't help but stop when he saw Zhou Man and looked at him in shock.
The chief steward had been paying close attention to the expressions of both parties, and upon seeing this, he confirmed Zhou Man's identity. It seemed that Mrs. Zhou was not lying. She was really a student of the Imperial Medical Department, and she might be a classmate with Zhang Wu.
He immediately raised a smile and introduced both parties enthusiastically, "Zhang Wu, this is the doctor from the Central Plains I'm talking about. She is from the Imperial Medical Office like you. We may be classmates."
Zhang Wu looked at Zhou Man.
Zhou Man smiled and nodded at him, "Wu Yin, I haven't seen you for many years."
Zhang Wu hesitated for a moment, and seeing that she did not correct the mistake in the Chief Manager's words, and it seemed that she did not want to reveal her identity, he did not point it out, but bowed his hands deeply and said, "Ms. Zhou.
"
"Come on, let's discuss her illness."
Zhou Man walked to the table and placed the prescription they had prescribed before. "I've seen the prescription you used, and it doesn't seem to be very effective."
"Yes," Zhang Wu said cautiously, "I also used acupuncture, but it could only barely control the condition from getting worse. It couldn't cure it, or even alleviate it."
Zhou Man sighed and pulled out a blank piece of paper, "Let's change the prescription, the needle also needs to be changed..."
The two of them were discussing, and the chief manager was standing by to listen. Although he could not understand the medical theory they discussed, he had a good memory and could memorize it by rote.
Zhou Man wrote out a new prescription for medicine and acupuncture, and handed the prescription to the general manager: "Go get some medicine and boil it, and I'll give her the acupuncture."
She paused and turned to ask Zhang Wu, "Do you want to stay as my assistant?"
Zhang Wu glanced at the acupuncture points on it, bowed and said: "Yes, I will give you a hand."
The general manager glanced at Zhang Wu when he heard this. Zhang Wu is the great wizard of a large tribe. Although his relationship with the chief has been very ordinary in the past two years, he is also highly respected. How could he be so polite to Mrs. Zhou?
Even if he is a classmate, he is too respectful.
When the chief steward saw Zhang Wu taking out the needle bag, he lowered his eyes, bowed and left, letting the maid in the room wait on them to perform the needles.
Zhou Man took the needle bag handed over by Zhang Wu and sighed, the defense of men and women in southern Xinjiang is even lower than that in the Central Plains. Now in the Central Plains, male doctors can also give women acupuncture, but most of them focus on the hands, feet and body.
Exposed parts of the head, such as shoulders and neck, still cause various inconveniences.
I didn't expect that this side would not take it seriously.
Zhou Man sat back in front of the bed, asked the maid to help take off Mrs. Li's coat, and then started acupuncture.
While she was performing acupuncture, she explained the reasons for such acupuncture. Zhang Wu handed her the acupuncture and listened attentively.
He knew when Zhou Man opened his mouth that the teacher asked him to stay and study. Otherwise, she had done all the difficult acupuncture techniques when she was in the palace and didn't need an assistant. How could she need one here?
Zhang Wu watched her carefully and wrote down her acupuncture steps and techniques one by one.
Zhou Man finished the injection and waited for it to take effect. He turned to Zhang Wu and asked, "How many people are infected with the disease in the mansion now?"
She had asked the chief manager this question before, but she wanted to hear it again from Zhang Wu.
Zhang Wu muttered: "Eighteen of them were discovered, but I think there are more than these."
He glanced at Zhou Man carefully and whispered: "And it's not just the maids who serve in the madam's room who are infected, but the servants who serve in other places are also infected."
Zhou Man frowned, "Don't you know that malaria is spread through mosquitoes?"
Zhang Wu was stunned, "I thought malaria was caused by malaria, and my wife was the first case, and the person who took care of her was infected with malaria..."
Zhang Wu paused and stopped talking.
Zhou Man frowned and thought for a while before saying: "That's right. Although it is not transmitted through mouth droplets, mosquito bites are indeed malaria."
She said: "Let's first think of ways to eliminate mosquitoes and reduce the infection rate."
Zhang Wu breathed a sigh of relief when he was not scolded.
"We must also pay attention to protection, and it is not limited to the chief's palace," Zhou Man asked: "Where is the chief? People need to do these things, and people need to be sent out to check for infected people."
This is a public health incident, not just a case of a noble person getting sick.
Zhang Wu was shocked, then he remembered and stood up quickly, "I'm going to see the chief right now."
He turned around and took two steps, thought of something, turned around and asked Zhou Man, "Ms. Zhou, do you want to come with us?"
Zhou Man thought for a while and then shook his head, "I'm looking at the chief's wife, you go first."
She didn't know Chief Li, and she wasn't even from the Liaozi Department. If she rashly made suggestions, it might be counterproductive, so she should let Wu Yin do it.
Zhou Man didn't think this was an accident. After all, malaria is a highly contagious epidemic. No leader would just sit back and watch it expand. Measures must be taken to prevent and control it. It just depends on what method is used.
While Zhou Man was waiting for the acupuncture to reach its peak, he bent over his desk and wrote down many prevention and treatment methods and prescriptions.
