Because it did take a long time to get out this time, early in the morning after the last agreement was signed, Lawrence and the entire mission took the small steamer that came to deliver goods down the river.
Then we returned to Sauerport, which is located near the mouth of the river.
It's just that unlike when we came here, there were only humans on the ship. When we returned, in addition to the entire previous delegation, this ship also carried seven or eight tauren. The leader of them was the one who first came into contact with Lawrence and his group of humans.
The tauren shaman Orchid Ironhoof, and the remaining identities are similar to her, either trainee witch doctors or trainee shamans.
"We came out this time to learn new medical knowledge from you." On the way, Lanhua Tiedho told Lawrence the reason why their group left the tribe and entered human society. "Those of us who worked before
After contacting your doctors, they already said that your medical level is better than ours, and this time the doctor in your mission treated us, which also gave us a better understanding of the development of medicine outside."
"So during the few days that your mission was staying in the tribe, the great shaman dedicated some time to select some smart and studious people from the young people in the tribe through assessment, and then I led them there.
You humans are studying there. I am very happy that you can agree to our somewhat presumptuous request."
"There is nothing presumptuous." Lawrence waved his hand gently and said. "Just like I said to you great shaman when I promised you to study abroad, this time you come to us can be regarded as a once-in-a-lifetime visit."
Medical exchange activities. I am also very happy that you are willing to share with us the knowledge accumulated by your ancestors for generations."
Last night, after Lawrence met the great shaman and heard his request for a tauren to go to New Shaoer Port to study medicine, he simply thought about it and agreed. Not to mention the tauren who are now his own.
People should enjoy a better life after making contributions. Just the fact that this group of tauren go to practice at this time can greatly alleviate the current serious shortage of doctors on New Saul Island.
In any case, compared with the group of human medical students who started training from scratch nearly a month ago, this group of tauren at least have certain medical experience and foundation. After simple training, they can quickly start doing some auxiliary work.
So that enough force can be formed in the shortest time to reduce the pressure on existing doctors.
After seeing that Lawrence almost without hesitation agreed to teach the young tauren medical knowledge, the older tauren opened a box behind him and took out a lot of messy things from it.
I know random trash-like things picked up from somewhere.
"What is recorded here is the medical records we have summarized since we moved here until today." Those rolls of bark, braided leaves, and some tanned things that looked like tattered packages
After the soft skin of the beast was pushed in front of Lawrence, the tauren shaman said, "Take it now, it may have some effect on you."
After listening to his words, Lawrence noticed that the pile of garbage-looking things in front of him seemed to have some pictures and runes on them. Unfolding one of the book covers, he discovered that it was indeed used by the Tauren.
A carrier that records various documents, filled with some words belonging to the tauren and accompanied by some pictures.
It can be seen that the new and old carriers used to record this knowledge have different styles, and the fonts on them are also obviously different. However, from the words and pictures that seem to be traced stroke by stroke, Lawrence can see that this series of documents are all condensed.
The crystallization of wisdom from generations of tauren shamans and witch doctors.
According to the tauren shaman, these materials are all recorded by local medical staff of various cases encountered during the treatment process, as well as treatment plans. There are many cases of curing diseases,
There are also many cases of failure. But whether it is success or failure, these things are very useful to Lawrence.
Because based on previous diagnosis and treatment experience, although there are differences between tauren and humans, most situations are still very similar. Especially when faced with some common infectious diseases in tropical areas, everyone's reactions are very similar, and it is difficult to say that they are different.
It can only be said that the tauren are physically stronger and have a higher survival rate and survival time when facing these diseases.
But correspondingly, this situation also means that various drugs that are useful to tauren are also likely to be useful to humans. And those drug formulas for local-specific diseases are very valuable to Lawrence and can solve many new problems.
Localized diseases among settlers.
Not to mention that in this era, except for extraordinary treatment plans that are relatively reliable, most ordinary treatment plans are completely unreliable. Whether it is a so-called panacea with mercury, phonemes or morphine added, it will be given to you just by seeing a doctor.
The laxatives prescribed are all close to zero in effectiveness in dealing with today's diseases.
And if Palm can master the herbs used by the Tauren to treat special local diseases, Lawrence and the others can solve the problem of tropical diseases, one of the most troublesome problems during tropical colonization. In this way, deaths due to diseases will
The number of people will decrease, which can also reduce the concerns of those who are preparing to immigrate and increase the population import of these tropical colonial islands.
If you want to settle in the tropics, tropical diseases are an unavoidable problem. Although there are no cases of death due to disease among Lawrence and others, this is purely because Lawrence strictly implemented the health manual after arriving on the island and now
The reason for the small population under direct jurisdiction.
But even so, there are still a few patients every week who need to use extraordinary items and medicines to save them. Considering that with the development of New Sauer Port, more and more people will become the direct population and need Lawrence.
They are directly responsible for medical services, so it is necessary to find ways to reduce the cost of diagnosis and treatment and improve the efficiency of diagnosis and treatment.
After all, after this period of hard work, there are now more than 120,000 people under Lawrence's direct rule, just over 1/7 of the island's population. But the entire medical system and government management capabilities have been squeezed to the limit. This
That's why Lawrence stopped expanding its power during this period and limited its direct municipalities to the southwest and south of the island, because if it continued to expand, this good situation would completely collapse.
However, although the expansion has been stopped, various preparations for the expansion have not stopped. After all, the reason why the expansion is stopped now is just to digest the results of the previous expansion as soon as possible and prepare for further expansion. And the collection can solve the common local diseases.
Localized prescriptions are part of the preparation work.
But there is an obvious problem for Lawrence now, that is, among these humans, he is the only one who understands the writing of these tauren because of the gift of the gods, and he does not have much time to devote to these translations.
"So that's what you're worried about." After seeing the expression on Lawrence's face and asking why, the tauren shaman comforted him. "It's very simple. The students we sent to you this time all understand your concerns."
Language, they can help you translate these things while learning medical skills. By the way, this is only the information of our tribe. Later we will collect the information of other tribes and bring it to you in batches."
This sentence can also reveal a little bit of the Tauren elder's thoughts. He hopes that through this method of installment delivery, Lawrence and the others can ensure that they will devote themselves to teaching knowledge to those students.
While recalling the previous communication process with the tauren shaman, I chatted with Lanhua and the tauren students. Time passed so quickly. Because it was going down the river, the small boat took a long time.
