Chapter 9 The soul torture of two Datang medical experts three combos
"This poison can both make dogs mad and kill lives. It is called rabies virus. This name makes sense." Sun Simiao nodded.
"I just don't know what you can do, nephew..."
"The two Taoist priests also said that if Senior Ge applied the brain of a mad dog to the wound, one or two people out of ten could survive.
It is enough to show that his method is right, but some people with weak constitutions may not be able to withstand such a violent fight of poison with poison."
Hearing Cheng Chubi's opinion, Yuan Tiangang laughed and said, "What Chu Bi's wise nephew said is quite reasonable. Pindao and fellow Taoist Sun also know it."
"So I think that if you want to be able to better fight virus with poison, you must reduce the toxicity of the rabies virus, and then use the reduced toxicity of the rabies virus to treat the injured person bitten by the rabies... Don't you understand?"
"For example, we first catch a rabid dog, and then let it infect another dog, and let it be infected. Through this round of infection, we will weaken the toxicity of the rabies virus..."
Once it came to his profession, Cheng Chubi fell into a fanatical mode, talking fast and furious, spitting like a machine gun, making the two Taoist priests look confused.
"Wait a moment, I need to think carefully..." Sun Simiao was confused by Cheng Chubi's quick and fast words.
"Two Taoist priests, you don't have to hold back. I can explain it with vivid examples." Cheng Chubi was impatient with the slow response of these old guys and decided to use vivid teaching methods to solve the problem.
Turning his head, he happened to see Cheng Laosi peeking his head outside the door. "Si, go pick up some rocks."
Cheng Laosi accepted the order with a confused look on his face, and the two Taoist priests also looked confused. We are discussing rabies. What does this have to do with stones and grass?
"Third brother, stones and grass." Soon, Cheng Laosi rushed into the house, holding seven or eight stones of different sizes and a handful of grass in one hand.
Sun Simiao also had a dark look on his face, secretly resenting that he was overheated at that time. He actually thought of visiting the crazy Cheng Laosan to study the cure for rabies.
Cheng Chubi ignored the sneaky glances of the two Taoist priests and cleared his throat to start his first virology course in the spring of the eighth year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty.
"Two Taoist priests, look, there are six stones here. I assume that this black stone is a mad dog, and this round stone represents another mad dog. The other four represent white and soft ones.
Cute rabbit.”
"???"
"The grass represents the mad dog's brain used to fight fire with fire."
Cheng Chubi ignored this group of historical figures with rigid thinking and confused faces, picked up the round stone, and handed it to Cheng Laosi's hands.
"Suppose now my fourth child is bitten by this mad dog."
"... Third brother, I was not bitten by a mad dog." Cheng Laosi became anxious and declared quickly.
"Shut up, I'm talking about hypotheticals." Cheng Chubi was unhappy. "If I use you as an example, do you think I'm looking down on you and increasing your sense of participation in medical research?"
Seeing the arrogant and paranoid face of the third brother, Cheng Laosi, who was full of dissatisfaction, could only take it easy. "Oh, okay."
"Now I'm using the brain of a mad dog to fight poison with poison and treat the poison in Laosi's body..." Cheng Chubi picked up a piece of grass and put it in Cheng Laosi's hand.
"However, its toxicity should not be underestimated. The fourth child definitely couldn't resist it, so he kicked his legs."
When Cheng Laosi saw his third brother's glare, he could only lie down on the ground helplessly and kicked his legs twice according to his description.
"..." Taoist priests Sun and Yuan had black lines on their faces. They kicked their legs like crazy...
"Only people with strong resistance like me may be able to withstand such a battle of fighting fire with fire. This is why this method can only have about 10% healing power."
"That's really what happened. Generally speaking, the injured who are rescued by using the brains of mad dogs are generally strong people." Sun Simiao seemed to have some realization.
"What should we do? We must find a way to reduce the toxicity of the mad dog's brain. One way to reduce it is to catch a black stone in advance.
Well... I caught a mad dog in advance and let it infect rabbits."
"My dear nephew, what does saving people have to do with infecting rabbits?" Yuan Tiangang felt bad all the time. He always felt that he was communicating with people with abnormal thinking. Well, this Cheng Laosan was not a normal person.
Besides, Master Dao, I have lived for several decades and I have only heard of mad dogs hurting people. I have never heard of mad rabbits hurting people. Rabbits can bite people because they are forced to do so, not because they are crazy.
All right.
Cheng Chubi said impatiently. "Listen to me first and then ask questions. How old do you think the rabbit is?"
"I know, a fat rabbit only weighs seven or eight pounds, and a light rabbit only weighs three or four pounds. It tastes great when stewed or roasted." Cheng Laosi quickly answered.
"..." Cheng Chubi's face turned dark. I was discussing serious medical issues, and you were actually talking to me about food. A student like you would be punished in a nine-year compulsory education.
The kind that often calls parents.
Forget it, don't argue with this naughty kid and deal with him later.
"Everyone knows that rabbits are very small, and the rabies virus infected the first rabbit because the rabbit was very small. Therefore, the rabies virus can easily infect the rabbit and make it sick."
"In this way, the rabies virus in the first rabbit will think, I can kill a rabbit without any effort, do I need to use all my strength this time?
Of course not, so when I infect the next rabbit, I won’t use all my strength..."
Taoist priests Sun and Yuan had dark expressions on their faces, but their heads were filled with question marks. They were all talking nonsense...
Cheng Chubi arranged grass leaves from longest to short on the stones representing rabbits.
"So, as the rabies virus infects rabbits from generation to generation, its toxicity will become weaker and weaker. However, although the toxicity is weakened, its characteristics are still there, and it can also play the role of fighting virus with poison..."
Can poisons have their own thoughts? Taoist priests Yuan and Sun were directly refreshed by Cheng Chubi on their understanding of the microscopic world.
Cheng Chubi had no choice. He couldn't use many medical concepts and medical terms from later generations to explain the attenuation preparation of vaccines to these ancient people more than a thousand years ago. He could only explain it in a way similar to the enlightenment of fairy tales.

When the two Datang medical experts arrived, their eyes were full of worry and their expressions were solemn, but when they left, they were dizzy and confused. Who am I, where am I, and what have I done?
Seeing the two Datang medical experts with confused expressions and staggering steps boarding the car and leaving in a hurry, Cheng Chubi felt a little regretful.
I had no choice but to work as a teacher in the township central school a few times, explaining physiological hygiene and some basic hygiene and cleaning knowledge to the students, resulting in my lack of teaching foundation.
Otherwise, perhaps today we can convince these two Datang medical experts to agree with our point of view through the art of vivid language.
The obviously perfunctory expressions on the two Datang medical experts' faces when they left made Cheng Chubi, a top student at the medical school and the technical backbone of the township health center, very uncomfortable.
Having your professionalism questioned is as uncomfortable as having someone stab you in the spine.
No, I have to change these people's ideas, speak with facts, and let them understand that I, who have advanced medical professional concepts and a shockingly rich reserve of medical knowledge, are correct.
"Third brother, third brother, what do you want to do with such gritted teeth?"
