Chapter 8, let Pindao give you a needle to ensure it won't hurt)
During this period, there were many rumors between the Cheng family and the dog. I didn't expect that Chef Mei would have such unscrupulous thoughts.
Cheng Ji couldn't bear to see the lost look on Chef Mei's face, and couldn't bear to say. "Brother Mei, you don't have to be like this. The third young master might have hit you by mistake."
"You can do this by accident, don't you want to embarrass me?" Chef Mei was stunned for a long time, and slapped his chopsticks on the plate. "Come here, bring four more eggs."
"...It tastes wrong." Following the instructions of the Third Young Master, Chef Mei couldn't wait to take a bite of the scrambled eggs and shook his head with disgust.
"Come here, go get four more eggs. If Mei can't get that flavor out of the frying today, I'll write the character "梅" upside down."
Cheng Ji looked at Chef Mei, who was trembling with fat and had a ferocious face, with a dark look on his face. Why did he feel that Chef Mei in front of him was the crazy one?
"Sigh...Does this count as urgent medical treatment?" Yuan Tiangang, who was sitting down in the front hall of Duke Lu's Mansion, sighed and said with a bitter smile.
Sun Simiao also nodded helplessly. "What fellow Taoist said is absolutely true. If his method can cure rabies, it will be a good thing that benefits the country and the people."
Yuan Tiangang stroked his long beard and sighed again. "It's just that we place our hopes on a young man with mental illness. Wouldn't it be too..."
Sun Simiao was a little hesitant, but still felt that he had to ask the question face to face. "According to the method in "Behind the Elbow", only one or two out of ten people can be cured. If he had a way to solve this disease, countless people would be able to survive...
"
Cheng Chubi didn't understand why Yuan and Sun came to look for him in such a panic today. Did they want to see if he was crazy or not?
Could it be that his acting skills were not superb enough yesterday, or there were some mistakes in his language? With this question in mind, Cheng Chubi rushed to the front hall.
I saw Yuan and Sun sighing in the front hall. I couldn't help but wonder what happened to these two Tang Dynasty medical experts.
After some scribbled greetings, Yuan Tiangang asked straight to the point. "My nephew Chu Bi, when you treated the second son's wound yesterday, were you worried that he would contract rabies?"
Cheng Chubi nodded, and before he could explain, Yuan Tiangang couldn't wait to ask, "Can your method cure rabies?"
"What I did yesterday was just to disinfect and debridement Fang Jun's wounds, which would play a preventive role. After all, once rabies occurs, there is no cure."
Cheng Chubi shook his head. Even in the 21st century, this disease is still an unsolvable problem.
The most important thing about rabies is prevention, that is, if you are bitten by a sick dog, you must be vaccinated against rabies.
"Is there really no other way?" Sun Simiao and Yuan Tiangang looked at each other, their hearts full of disappointment. It seemed that today's trip was in vain.
The two of them sighed in unison, stood up and were about to leave. The way these two behaved made Cheng Chubi confused.
"What happened to the two Taoist priests?"
Sun Simiao explained when he saw Cheng Chubi standing in front of him, looking like he was asking for answers.
"Today, several people in Xinfeng County, east of Chang'an, were bitten by rabid dogs. Pindao sent his disciples to Xinfeng County for treatment.
I was thinking that maybe you, nephew Chu Bi, had mentioned rabies yesterday, and I thought you might have a different method than the traditional one..."
"Can ancient medicine cure rabies?" Cheng Chubi was a little confused. Damn it, is it true?
Yuan Tiangang nodded and replied.
"It is recorded in the seventh volume of "Behind the Elbow" written by Ge Hong of the Western Jin Dynasty. If someone is bitten by a mad dog, the head of the mad dog will be beheaded.
Take the brain marrow and apply it on the wound for three days, it should be cured."
"However, although this method can save people, at most one or two of the ten injured can survive, and the rest will still get sick and die suddenly."
Cheng Chubi took a breath of cold air. Damn it, Ge Hongda of the Western Jin Dynasty was really awesome. More than a thousand years ago, he already knew how to fight virus with poison to treat rabies. Isn't this a treatment similar to vaccines?
Immediately, I thought of the earliest development method of rabies vaccine, which was to take the brain marrow of sick dogs and freeze-dry it, then inject it into rabbits to infect the rabbits.
Then use rabbits to infect rabbits to reduce the toxicity of rabies virus and obtain rabies vaccine...
"I originally thought...well, good nephew?" Sun Simiao wanted to speak, but when he saw Cheng Chubi standing there blankly, he couldn't help but murmur in his heart, this kid won't be sick at this time, right? He subconsciously raised his hand
Touching the needle bag in his arms, Yuan Tiangang on the side also touched the medicine bottle in his sleeve.
"Two Taoist priests, I have a solution." Cheng Chubi regained his composure and looked happy.
"No, this kid is starting to say things that don't match his words. I'm afraid he's going to get sick." Yuan Tiangang whispered to Sun Simiao quickly, and quickly took out the medicine bottle and poured out a pill.
"My dear nephew, don't be anxious. Sit down quickly and come here. There is a calming pill here, which is very effective in treating patients with heart failure."
"My dear nephew, come here and let me give you an injection. Within ten breaths, your heart will be as calm as water..."
Sun Simiao on the side took out a needle bag and pulled out a three-inch silver needle. He looked eager to try it, as if he would give it to Cheng Chubi at any time.
"I'm not sick." Cheng Chubi immediately became anxious. Damn it, could it be said that his acting performance yesterday was too realistic and he would be regarded as a lunatic? That would be too unfair.
Sun Simiao and Yuan Tiangang looked at each other. They almost laughed. Who would be crazy and say that he is sick?
However, looking at each other's thin bodies, and then looking at Cheng Laosan in front of him, who has obvious symptoms of violence, and his muscles are about to burst his clothes. As far as the current situation is concerned, we can only fight wisely, not forcefully.
"Okay, okay, nephew, you are right, you are indeed not sick, but it is safer for you to take one pill of this medicine." Yuan Tiangang smiled flatteringly and handed the elixir forward.
Sun Simiao also spoke to comfort him. "My dear nephew, let Pindao give you an injection. I guarantee it won't hurt."
"You guys..." Looking at the expressions of the two Taoist priests, Cheng Chubi felt a little helpless. "Two Taoist priests, I said there are ways to improve the treatment of the posterior aspect of the elbow."
"Really?" the question was perfunctory, and the two bullshit clearly looked unconvinced.
"Of course it's true. Let's put it this way, the treatment ideas described in Ge Hong's "Behind the Elbow" are correct, but there is a problem, which is how to attenuate the rabies virus and allow the human body to produce an immune response."
"Attenuating the virus? Immune response?" The two medical experts from Datang were confused. They always felt that these words they had never heard before were confusing.
Seeing the expressions of these two people, Cheng Chubi couldn't help but feel a bit of a toothache. It seemed that with his current personality as a crazy patient, it was really difficult to explain the treatment of diseases and vaccines to these two medical experts who lived in a feudal society.
The difference in disease prevention.
Cheng Chubi asked the two of them to sit down again. "Senior Ge Hong's approach is right, fight poison with poison, but have you ever thought that the rabies virus in the mad dog can kill people, and the virus in its brain is probably
The toxicity isn’t much different, right?”
These words made Sun Simiao's heart skip a beat, while Yuan Tiangang's expression became more and more confused. "Wait a minute, what do you mean by rabies virus?"
Cheng Chubi could only try his best to explain in plain language.
"I hypothesize that the reason why dogs go crazy is because they are infected with a poison that can make dogs crazy, so I call it rabies virus."
