Chapter 45 Treatment of cholera
Xiao Yu walked into the grass shed where he and Doctor Qin used to see him, and when Doctor Qin saw him, his face showed a trace of guilt.
"Miss Feng, it's the old man who is not thoughtful, and the old man shouldn't have let Governor Li forcibly invite you." Old Doctor Qin hurriedly walked over, "It's enough for me and Qin Jing to be here, Miss Feng should hurry back and avoid worrying the elders in the family." โ
He only thought that Miss Feng's medical skills were different from ordinary doctors, and maybe there could be a better way to fight the epidemic, but he ignored that she was originally a daughter, not a real doctor, and such an epidemic area was not a place where a lady like her should come.
But I heard Miss Feng say: "Governor Li didn't invite me, I came by myself." โ
Seeing that Old Doctor Qin was surprised and wanted to persuade him, Xiao Yu said: "Let's not talk about the others, let's take a look at the patient first." What kind of response did the patient have? โ
Doctor Qin sighed: "The sick person has a light vomit and diarrhea, stomach distension and chest tightness, cold limbs, white and greasy tongue, and weak pulse. In severe cases, vomiting and diarrhea do not stop, rice swill-like feces, sunken eye sockets, muscles and pulses are urgent, and the pulse is thin. According to the old man, eighty percent is cholera. โ
Xiao Yu pondered for a moment. Sunken eye sockets are already symptoms of dehydration, muscle spasms, caused by electrolyte loss, potassium and sodium deficiency, which is already a serious person, and if not treated in time, it will be weak.
"I wonder how Old Doctor Qin is going to treat cholera?" Xiao Yu asked.
Old Doctor Qin stroked his beard and said, "If you are light, you can use Huoxiang to disperse your qi, such as cold injury in the middle of the yang, and your limbs are cold, you can use Lizhong soup." Severe cases should warm and replenish the spleen and kidneys, return to yang and solidify, and use ginseng four reverse decoction. These are all ancient records, but ...... "Old Doctor Qin sighed heavily," the effect is not obvious. After using it for patients, it is only up to God to recover, and it is really impossible to prevent new patients from being infected every day. โ
Doctor Qin was also a little discouraged.
Their Baohetang's medical skills are already good, but they still can't do anything about such a fierce plague. The patient took his hand and asked him if he could be cured, but he didn't dare to look the patient in the eye and say he could.
All of them have to resign themselves to fate, which makes people unable to focus and helpless.
Old Doctor Qin looked at Xiao Yu: "I don't know if Miss Feng has a good law?" โ
Xiao Yu said: "I think the epidemic can be cured. โ
The eyes of the two Qin doctors lit up, and they looked at him with burning eyes.
Miss Feng said that it could be cured, and they didn't seem surprised at all, she always had some suspicious but effective means. Old Doctor Qin thought of finding him for the first time, and it was also out of this blind trust.
Xiao Yudao: "It's just that cholera is developing rapidly, and only the three of us are not enough. We need a lot of people and a lot of stuff to be prepared. It just so happened that Governor Li and many doctors were waiting outside the gate, and they all had to be organized. โ
"Governor Li and the other doctors?" Old Doctor Qin was a little puzzled. After the outbreak of the plague, all the doctors who had been in the settlement to see and distribute medicine for the displaced people fled back to the city, how could they gather outside the gate at this time?
Xiao Yu nodded and said, "I will go out to gather people first, and I still need to prepare some things, I must start treating the plague immediately, and a minute earlier can greatly stop the spread of the plague." โ
"And stop the spread of the disease?" Old Doctor Qin's spirits perked up, "Miss Feng has a perfect method?" "It's not like they've been unprotected before, but cholera has always broken through their protections and more people have contracted the disease and died.
"Yes, indeed. Again, this is not a matter of two people, we need a lot of manpower, and even the entire Huaiqian City and surrounding villages and towns have to take action. Xiao Yudao.
Cholera is a virulent intestinal infectious disease caused by Vibrio cholerae, which has an acute onset and rapid spread, and water, food, and articles contaminated with Vibrio cholerae may spread cholera. The resettlement center for displaced people is not far from Huaiqian City, and there are several villages and towns nearby, and it is very likely that there are outbreaks in other places, but the resettlement center has been visited by doctors, so it was detected in a timely manner. Now not only to cure the disease, but also to prevent the spread of the disease, Huaiqian City and the surrounding villages must be taken into account.
"I'll go outside to report the situation to Governor Li, there are many things that need to be prepared with the help of the government."
After Xiao Yu finished speaking, he temporarily said goodbye and walked towards the gate of the resettlement center.
Li Fangming has already set up camp outside and is ready to be stationed for a long time.
Every epidemic is comparable to a natural disaster, and if it breaks out, it is possible to hide thousands of miles of corpses. That kind of result is something he can't afford to give into, and even if he is a member of the Li family, he may not be able to protect himself.
The plague must be cured.
Li Fangming thought of Miss Feng's calm and unhurried expression, and his impetuous heart seemed to be comforted. How ridiculous, he actually believed that that child could deal with such a terrible epidemic for no reason.
Saying that Cao Cao Cao was coming, Li Fangming just shook his head self-deprecatingly, and saw the figure gradually come out of the darkness inside the gate of the resettlement center.
Xiao Yu stood outside the gate, and the crowd around him instantly took a step back in horror, looking at him as if he was looking at some kind of flood beast.
Dr. Cheng at the back of the crowd frowned deeply. Although he was also afraid of the epidemic, and he did not want to go there, it did not prevent him from feeling that these people were excessive, and he was ashamed to be with them at the moment. These so-called doctors, who are louder than anyone else and have a louder reputation than anyone else, are not only as timid as rats, but also use their cowardice to hurt the girl who dared to enter the epidemic area.
Doctor Cheng's blood moved, and even the fear of the epidemic was buried in the blood, and he walked towards Xiao Yu in a crowd.
He thought that Miss Feng would feel embarrassed. A young woman is avoided like a snake and scorpion, a girl's mind is always more delicate than others, like his own daughter, a slight sentence of heavy tone can make her cry angrily, not to mention the Feng girl who was treated like this?
Unexpectedly, Miss Feng was still calm, and she was even smiling and nodding, as if she was very satisfied with their approach.
Xiao Yudao: "The fear of the epidemic is also the first barrier to prevent the spread of the epidemic. "Fear is the best protection against many harms, and the same is true for epidemics.
"But knowing the right way to protect yourself can fully guarantee your own safety and avoid a lot of unnecessary fear." Xiao Yu asked Bai Ling to take out the set of white robes and face covering towels from the medical box, and opened them to show everyone.
He stood by the gate, didn't take a step closer to the frightened crowd, and said to Li Fangming from afar: "Lord Li, Old Doctor Qin has found out that the epidemic is an acute outbreak of cholera. โ
"Cholera?!"
"Pompy foot plague?!"
A noisy noise erupted among the dozens of doctors. They were not unfamiliar with the name, and every outbreak of cholera killed many people, but only a few people could be saved by the medicines and decoctions at their disposal.
It spreads like a hurricane, and it is as pervasive as a ghost, and it is impossible to prevent it.
"No, no, I can't stay here anymore!" A doctor raised his arms and shouted, "It's not safe here!" We must hurry back to the city! Master Li, you should not be involved in this dangerous situation! โ
"Dr. Zhao is right! Lord Li, what we need to do now is to hurry back to the city and close the gates of the city to no one to enter or go out! No one must bring cholera to the city, or it will be a disaster! As long as we survive until the cholera in the settlement has passed, we will be safe and sound! โ
All the doctors responded one after another, and pleaded with Li Fangming one after another.
Xiao Yu frowned slightly, and raised his voice: "With all due respect, even if you hide back in the city, it is very likely that you will not be able to escape the spread of cholera." โ
"What do you mean?! How dare you curse us?! โ
Doctor Zhao blushed angrily and said, "This girl is obviously lying and confusing the public, alarmist!" She has just entered the resettlement center, and she is absolutely not allowed to enter the city! She must be scared to talk nonsense here! Master Li, you must be aware of it! โ
Li Fangming hesitated. He also knows that cholera, and indeed, as Dr. Zhao said, if it spreads, it will be a disaster that no one can stop. Nowadays, the epidemic is confined to the resettlement center, and as long as no one enters the resettlement center, the epidemic will not be brought out.
"Cholera is not what you think." Xiao Yulang said, "Master Li, what I'm worried about now is not only the epidemic in the resettlement center, but also the epidemic in Huaiqian City and the surrounding villages and towns. โ
There is a river that surrounds the city of Huaiqian and the nearby villages and towns in the vicinity of the settlement, and is a common water source. The stench in the shelter is terrible because vomit and excrement are not properly disposed of, and if it contaminates the drinking water, the consequences are unimaginable.
"Nonsense!" Doctor Zhao jumped to his feet angrily, "It's clear that you punished the hero for entering the resettlement center just now, and now you just want to go back to the city." If you go back, you'll be the bane of a qiฤ! Since Miss Feng likes to be in the limelight and punish heroes, why not be brave to the end, and stay outside the city to live and die with these homeless people, wouldn't it be a great merit for Miss Feng?! โ
Bai Ling jumped to his feet in anger: "You are really a villain's heart." โ
Doctor Zhao was so angry that his face turned pale, and he wanted to distinguish it again, but suddenly heard a shout in the distance. A figure on a horse galloped over, dismounted and knelt at Li Fangming's feet, and said with a panicked expression: "My lord! Oh no! The patriarch ...... The patriarch, the prince, he has a sudden illness! The prince asked me to ask a doctor to go back and see the patriarch! You've taken all the doctors out of town, and I'm going to have to come here to find you. โ
When everyone heard that it was the matter of the patriarch and the prince, they suddenly came to their senses. If you see the old prince, not only will you have the opportunity to be appreciated by the old prince, but you can also take the opportunity to leave this kind of unfortunate place.
Several doctors scrambled to say: "Master Li, the patriarch prince is golden and noble, there is no delay, let's hurry back and see the patriarch prince!" โ
Li Fangming naturally didn't dare to slack off, and was about to arrange it, but he heard Miss Feng say: "Dare to ask this little brother who catches fast, what are the symptoms of the old prince?" โ
Doctor Zhao sneered: "What? Isn't Miss Feng a person who is high-spirited and bright, and wants to stay outside the city to fight cholera with these homeless people? Could it be that when he heard that the patriarch was sick, he ignored those homeless people? โ
Xiao Yu didn't look at him, just waited for the catcher to answer.
Catch Kuai thought for a moment and said: "It seems that I have eaten bad stomachs, but I have been vomiting and diarrhea, and I have boiled some stomach-warming decoction to drink, but it doesn't work." โ
After listening to the quick reply, a few doctors immediately changed their faces. Even Doctor Zhao looked at the little catcher with some surprise, and then looked at Li Fangming, but he didn't dare to look at the big girl Feng who was fighting for tat just now.
Li Fangming didn't know what to do, nodded and was about to speak, but he heard Miss Feng say, "Sure enough." I'm afraid that the patriarch and prince are also infected with cholera. โ
The crowd was in an uproar, and Li Fangming's face turned pale with shock.
The patriarch is in his prefect's yamen, and his family, wife, children, and family are all in that house!
Whether it is something happening to the patriarch and the prince, or something happening to anyone in his Li family, he absolutely does not want to see it!
Unexpectedly, the patriarch Wang Ye was suddenly ill, and Xiao Yu had to temporarily change the arrangement. He asked Bai Ling to hand over the two sets of robes and scarves he had brought to Old Doctor Qin and Little Doctor Qin.
"Let them take care to protect themselves, don't drink raw water, always pay attention to the cleanliness of their hands, and if they eat, they must be hot thoroughly." Xiao Yu admonished, and Bai Ling nodded.
"Go and deliver something, go back quickly, I'll be waiting for you here."
Bai Ling answered, hugged his robe and ran back to the gate quickly.
Xiao Yu walked towards Li Fangming and asked him to arrange a carriage for him.
"I have to go back to see the patriarch now, and the adults should go back too." Xiao Yudao, "The epidemic has spread to the city, in fact, it may have spread out of the city. Anyway, it's useless for you to stay here now, and after you get back, I have a series of measures that you need to inform the people of the city, and I need to prepare a lot of things to help the patients, and I must be ready to do so by tonight. By the way, you can also organize these doctors to be brought to the prefect's yamen, and it is best to even find their apprentices and train them briefly, so that everyone can work together to fight the epidemic. You have to be fast, and in the face of the epidemic, you can never move too fast. โ
Everyone watched as this Feng girl calmly commanded Governor Li's mansion one by one. She seemed to be talking to a prefect, as if she was instructing her subordinates.
It's just that no one dared to say anything, and even Li Fangming couldn't help but respond one by one. The red-faced argument just now was like a joke, and it turned out that Miss Feng was not talking nonsense, she was right, and it was no longer safe in the โกโก.
After a while, Bai Ling ran out of the gate, Xiao Yu took her into the carriage, and quickly drove towards Huaiqian City. Li Fangming angrily ordered the doctors to get into the roofless carriage again, abandon the sedan chair and ride the horse, and rushed to the city together in a hurry.
Xie Jingxiu sat on the edge of the patriarch's bed, watching the patriarch lying on the bed with a pale face, and occasionally let out a low moan. There was a wooden barrel beside the bed, which was full of filth vomited by the patriarch.
There was a foul smell wafting from the room, but Xie Jingxiu didn't seem to be able to smell it at all. His fox fur was stripped to the side, and he sat in silence wearing only the narrow embroidered purple robe inside.
"Uh...... The patriarch sat up suddenly, holding the wooden bucket and spitting out a few mouthfuls of watery filth. Xie Jingxiu stretched out his hand and gently patted the back of the patriarch prince, and looked out of the door with a slight frown.
Why hasn't the doctor come yet?
The patriarch and prince spit out, and his heart was a little more relaxed. He lay back, let Xie Jingxiu take a handkerchief to wipe the corners of his mouth for him, smiled and said weakly: "If it weren't for my illness this time, I wouldn't have been able to enjoy the blessing of my grandson serving me personally." โ
Xie Jingxiu lowered his eyelashes: "Grandfather, you recuperate, the doctor is almost here." โ
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a rush of footsteps outside, and a servant girl announced: "The doctor is here, the doctor is here!" โ
Xie Jingxiu looked at the door, and a white boot embroidered with cloud patterns had just stepped into the threshold. When he looked up, he saw that the person who came was a very familiar handsome young man. He was dressed in a pale blue straight jacket, with some wide cuffs pulled up to his elbows, long dark hair tied back strangely, a ponytail like hair swept over his shoulders, and his waist was neatly tied to create a slender but flexible waist. is obviously dressed as a scholar, but he wears it as neat and free as a chivalrous.
The young man smiled at him, hurriedly walked over, and said with concern, "How is the patriarch and the prince?" โ
Xie Jingxiu's face, which had been cold and indifferent, showed a look of surprise for the first time.
"Miss Feng?"
