411 Xiao Chai Hu Powder
"What smell? Do you smell it? When Shang Wu walked to the field hospital, he smelled a strong smell of Chinese medicine.
"It's the taste of Chinese medicine." Jia Xu said after hearing this.
"Hmm. Now that we're here. Let's go, go in and have a look, maybe we can have a better development. Shang Wu was curious, he wanted to see what kind of situation could make their situation like this. Or rather. He wanted to see how far medicine had progressed.
When Shang Wu entered the field hospital, he saw that many refugees from the north were drinking medicine.
"What kind of medicine is this?" Sangmu asked a medical staff looking after a patient, dressed in white were some women, who were nurses at the hospital. This is the only place where women are present in the IRA's establishment.
"Sir, this is the prescription prescribed by Dr. Zhang over there, called Xiao Chai Hu Tang. These important things have cured many people's diseases. Many of the refugees who came from the north had a cold, and most of them were good at drinking this medicine. The paramedics said.
"Little Chai Hu Tang?" Shang Wu asked curiously.
"Yes, we've set up several cauldrons over there. We brew many, many of these herbs. Many people drink a few bowls and then go to the ground. The paramedics said.
"This recipe is useful, if our army can have a lot of equipment, it can allow us to avoid such a situation." Jia Xu nodded and said. This monk Wu thought of going together. Because the Republican Army currently does not have some specific medicine for colds. A lot of the time, all they drink is some ginger water. Such a simple treatment method simply cannot do this, and Shangwu is also actively looking for it, but many Chinese medicine prescriptions are not very good. Coupled with the particularity of traditional Chinese medicine, it takes some time to boil some herbs. Shang Wu felt that this was not in line with some of the situation of the Republican Army's rapid operation, and Shang Wu needed some special methods to solve such things.
"Let's go, let's see. Let's see if we can solve some of these things. Shang Wu said.
"Dr. Zhang is over there. I'll take you there. With that, the medical staff took Shang Wu to Dr. Zhang's residence, and what Shang Wu saw was that there were many patients who took their pulses in front of him. Then prescribe some prescriptions. Field hospitals are peacetime establishments, which means that they still have to operate, of course. When they are refugees, they will treat them.
"Doctor Zhang, our chief is here." The paramedics said. The term "doctor" was used in the Republican Army.
"Oh. It turned out to be Chief Xu's arrival. "Dr. Zhang is Zhang Zhongjing, he went to the north to treat refugees, fortunately, the Republican Army provided timely assistance, a large amount of food, and warm clothes were in place, which solved the practical problems of many refugees, and Zhang Zhongjing had a certain good impression of the Republican Army.
"I've heard of Chief Xu's name for a long time, and now, we've just met." Zhang Zhongjing said with a smile.
"Sir, this is our Doctor Zhang." The paramedics said.
"Zhang Ji, the word Zhongjing, you can call me Zhang Zhongjing." Zhang Zhongjing introduced himself.
"Hmm." Shang Wu nodded, this is which of the most important medical figures in history. Shangwu thought it was incredible.
"We would also like to thank Dr. Zhang for his help, if it weren't for your help, many of our things would not have been solved well, and in such a situation, our situation would have become even more difficult." Shang Wu thanked him.
"I also want to thank Chief Xu, if it weren't for Chief Xu, just rely on my meager medical skills. It is impossible to save so many people. Chief Xu is better than me to save people. Zhang Zhongjing said modestly.
"I won't say anything superfluous." Shang Wu knew that if he was humble, he would be in trouble. The best way to do this is to solve some of these problems quickly.
"That's what I'm trying to say. I don't know if Dr. Zhang has a way to treat that little chai hu soup for wind and cold. Shang Wu said.
"What's wrong with Xiao Chai Hu Tang?" Zhang Zhongjing asked puzzled.
"Oh. This is the case, our soldiers fighting on the front line will also get sick, and when our soldiers are fighting, they cannot get timely medical treatment, and the wind and cold often become a great disaster, and in this way, it is very detrimental to the combat effectiveness of our soldiers. I wondered, is there a special medicine that can solve such a problem, and my idea is this, boil those little chai hu soup. Dr. Zhang, you know, in a special situation like the front line, it is unlikely that we will have something special to boil. Plus some casseroles are needed, and time does not allow it. After all, there is a war. Shang Wu said.
"Please also ask Chief Xu to explain in detail." Zhang Zhongjing asked curiously, he wanted to hear how Shangwu did it, after all, he had seen the art of wound suturing here, and he thought that Shangwu also had certain medical skills. Some of his observations might be a better solution to the practical problem.
"My idea is this, can we boil all these finished drugs into a lump on the existing technology, and then grind them into powder. Then it is packaged according to a certain dose, as long as we boil some hot water and pour some medicine packets during the battle, so that the soldier's illness can be treated in time. This time we mobilized the herbs on a large scale, and equipped with a much better dose. Shang Wu said. Hearing this, Jia Xu felt that it made sense, but the question was, is it feasible to do this? It may sound like this simply can't be done.
"Is this possible?" Zhang Zhongjing also asked. Because he also felt that it was impossible.
"So, have you ever seen milk powder? It is to process milk, goat's milk, boil it dry, and then form it into pieces and grind it. Dry. Shang Wu said so.
"I don't understand this, but if you do this, Chief Xu, this medicinal property?" Zhang Zhongjing still has a hard time understanding what Shang Wu said about milk powder and medicinal powder. What Shangwu needs is a cold powder, the kind that can be quickly put into use, but people like Jia Xu and Zhang Zhongjing have greatly limited their imagination because of the limitations of technology. Shang Wu couldn't tell them what was going on, after all, it was the first time they had seen such a thing.
"Well, here's what I think, I'm going to do an experiment for you. So, you give me a copy of the medicine, and I'll try to do it, Dr. Zhang, you control the dose. Then we will have research, so that the concentrated powder can quickly solve many problems. Shang Wu said. The wind chill is still very fatal for the Republican Army, because a large number of non-combat attrition comes from this, and if they are not solved in time, a minor illness will develop into a major illness, and finally cause a larger-scale disadvantage. Non-combat attrition comes mainly from wind chill. And if it is not well controlled, there will be a large-scale flu and plague outbreak. Zhang Zhongjing also understands such a truth.
Prevention is a truth, treatment is also a truth, if you can't treat it in time, many things will become unfavorable, after all, at this time it is impossible to infuse normal saline, technology can not reach such a point, the only way is cold powder, Xiao Chai Hu Tang may be the best way.
Subsequently, Shang Wu and Zhang Zhongjing began to develop this cold powder.
At the beginning, their experiments were failures. However, this also made Zhang Zhongjing see hope and possibility. Because although their experimental samples were failures, the kind of particulate matter gave Zhang Zhongjing a lot of inspiration.
Granular though with a burnt smell. There may be some medicinal properties, but there can't be too many, but the powdered way of adding boiling water to brew opens another door.
Because such a way can quickly solve many disease problems.
Because the medicine is not easy to collect, and the boiling time may cause an outbreak of disease, and after making it into a powder. They can solve most of the problems by transporting only a small portion of the packets. From this point of view, Zhang Zhongjing feels that this is feasible.
"If these powders are done well, I think there are other ways to do it. For example, there are some other recipes. Zhang Zhongjing seemed to say this to Shangwu when he conducted the second test.
"I also have a way of making capsules. It is boiled with skin, and then pressed to become a small particle, and then after people take it, they can directly reach the stomach, thinking that they are all made of skin, and to a certain extent, they can be dissolved, and then directly absorbed by the stomach, after absorption, the effect of the drug can be faster. Shang Wu said.
"This, this, how can there be such a way?" Zhang Zhongjing has never heard of it. It was the first time he had heard of such an approach. He felt that it was worth the trip here, powder. Capsule. It was the first time he had encountered anything like this.
"Yes, it's a capsule. I watched. Chinese medicine makes some of the medicine into pills. It's a good solution, but it's just too big. Sometimes the effect of the drug is not easy to attack, and by the time it reaches the stomach, some of the medicinal properties may have been digested, and if the medicine can develop in the stomach, our solution will be much better. Shang Wu said.
"Well, I agree with you, it's very good, and that's what we need. You've given us a way of, yes, a way of thinking, just a way of thinking. Zhang Zhongjing said.
"Hmm. Then Dr. Zhang will stay, and we will establish a medical school here to specialize in all kinds of diseases, after all, there are still many diseases. If we don't study it, human life will always be under great threat, and such a threat is very terrible for us. Shang Wu persuaded.
"Well, I've had that idea for a long time." Zhang Zhongjing said while doing experiments.
