He is the director of the field hospital and the best doctor. He knows better than anyone the importance of anti-inflammatory drugs for the wounded.
I heard that a box of anti-inflammatories was delivered, and I rushed over like a gust of wind.
After seeing the size of the boxes, I directly regarded them as the sulfa tablets I often use, and the smile on my face became even wider.
"Chief, this box of anti-inflammatory drugs is enough for us to get through this hurdle and ensure that these seriously injured people in the hospital have medicines available.
"Doctor Li, immediately give medicine to the two seriously injured people with inflamed wounds. We have medicine now, and we must save them at all costs."
No one wants to see two seriously injured people dying of illness in a field hospital.
When he heard that medicine could be used, Dr. Li's solemn face immediately showed a smile, and he happily replied: "Yes, Dean, I will give them medicine now."
While talking, Dr. Li had already opened the medicine box and took out a box of western medicine.
After seeing the medicine box, Dr. Li froze on the spot and stopped continuing, nor did he give the patient any medicine.
It took a long time for him to react, and then he handed the dean the medicine he had never seen before.
"Dean, I have never seen this kind of medicine before. Can it be used? Is it a specialized anti-inflammatory medicine?"
"Let me take a look!" Dean Zhang took the medicine.
After looking at it for a minute, his brows also knitted together.
He has practiced medicine for decades and stayed in a large hospital, but he has never seen this kind of Western medicine.
Two seriously injured people are in critical condition due to wound inflammation. If the wrong medicine is used, it will not only fail to save lives, but may also kill people and accelerate the death of the seriously injured people.
Commander Yang also realized something was wrong and quickly asked: "Dean Zhang, what's going on?"
"Chief, there's something wrong with the medicine!" Dean Zhang didn't hide anything and answered bluntly.
"This kind of medicine is something I have never seen before. Could it be that the underground party in Chongqing was deceived and bought fake medicine?"
Commander Yang is very aware of Dean Zhang's medical skills and abilities, and he has no doubt about Dean Zhang's words.
The smile that had just appeared on his face suddenly disappeared. After taking out a medicine and observing it carefully, he frowned and asked.
"Make sure you have never seen this kind of medicine before!"
Dean Zhang responded with certainty: "Confirmed, and I have never heard of it, so I suspect it is a fake medicine and I dare not give it to the two seriously injured patients."
"It definitely can't be used!" Commander Yang affirmed.
After thinking for a moment, he started giving orders.
"We must not make fun of the lives of the soldiers. Before the safety of the drugs is confirmed, these drugs cannot be moved and are directly sealed."
"Yes, Chief!"
Dean Zhang also had a disappointed expression on his face, and he decisively decided to carry out the order.
Doctors are a very sacred and serious profession. No matter what the situation, they must ensure the absolute safety of patients. They must not risk the lives of patients, nor conduct experiments on the lives of the injured.
"Chief, telegram!"
An exclamation suddenly sounded outside the tent.
"Where is the chief? I want to see the chief. I need to send an urgent telegram from the headquarters!"
The communications staff of the headquarters rushed in hastily. When he saw Commander Yang, he handed over the telegram in his hand.
"Chief, this is an encrypted telegram from headquarters, about medicines."
"Medicine?" Commander Yang quickly took it.
After watching for half a minute, a smile appeared on his serious and solemn face again, and he shouted excitedly.
"Dean Zhang, these medicines can be used!"
"The headquarters said in the secret message: These drugs are a new drug developed by Comrade Li Hao, the head of the garrison, and have been confirmed to be effective through clinical trials. Preliminary judgment shows that its anti-inflammatory effect is more than ten times that of sulfonamide tablets.
"
"The headquarters requires us to use it with confidence and boldness, and then report the specific efficacy of this batch of new drugs."
"If the efficacy reported by Chongqing is true, we will purchase this new drug on a large scale in the future to replace the sulfonamide tablets currently used."
A flash of hesitation flashed across Dean Zhang's face.
Due to the doctor's rigorous attitude, even if there is an order from the headquarters, he still does not want to use unknown drugs that have not been confirmed.
Commander Yang absolutely trusts the headquarters and will never joke with the lives of the wounded.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he made a decision: "Dean Zhang, use it on the two seriously injured people first."
"We will use it on a large scale after confirming its efficacy."
"According to you, Dean Zhang, if we don't take medicine, there is a 90% chance that the two of us will not survive tonight."
"In this case, let's take a gamble and trust the headquarters and Comrade Li Hao."
"I know him well, and I will never take such an important thing for granted. Since he said it is useful, this medicine must be useful."
Dean Zhang nodded and replied: "This is the safest way."
"Doctor Li, take the medicine now, observe their condition every ten minutes, and tell me immediately if there is any situation."
An hour later, exclamations suddenly sounded in the tent.
Commander Yang and Dean Zhang were busy working in other tents and were shocked.
"Dean, chief, the wounded man's fever has gone down. The medicine sent from Chongqing is useful, and the penicillin is useful!" Dr. Li rushed over like a wind and shouted excitedly.
Dean Zhang immediately put down what he was doing and ran towards the tent without saying a word.
Wearing a stethoscope, he carefully examined the two seriously injured patients, with an uncontrollable smile on his face.
"Chief, it's really useful. It's at least ten times more effective than sulfonamide tablets."
"Sulfonamide tablets are only 50% sure to alleviate severe inflammation like this, but penicillin can control the inflammation in just one hour and reduce the fever of the wounded. It can definitely be called a miracle drug."
"Doctor Li, give medicine to the other wounded immediately, using the miracle drug penicillin."
"With penicillin, I can assure you, chief, that from now on, no wounded person will die due to wound inflammation in the field hospital."
"Okay, I agree to the large-scale use of penicillin!" Commander Yang's tense nerves relaxed and he answered happily.
Then he added: "One more thing, when you take medicine, you must record the specific effects, and I will report it to the headquarters."
Back at the headquarters, Commander Yang was no longer as worried as he was a few hours ago.
The arrival of penicillin gave him confidence in the field hospital and no longer worried about the safety of the wounded.
When he saw the Chief of Staff, he smiled: "Chief of Staff, we would like to thank Comrade Li Hao, the leader of the garrison regiment, for this battle. No, he is no longer the garrison regiment commander."
"It was he who asked the garrison to send us ammunition and support our artillery. Only then did we win such a big victory."
"In the field hospital just now, when I was ready to kill hundreds of seriously wounded people because of lack of medicine, it was Comrade Li Hao who sent us urgently needed anti-inflammatory drugs from Chongqing through the World War II zone, and it was also a kind of medicine.
A new drug that is ten times more effective than sulfonamide tablets.”
"We owe him a favor. We will definitely thank him properly next time we see him."
