Chapter 10 Oral salt supplementation

Not to mention that when Lu Fan arrived at Liu Bei's place, how he intrigued with Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, and how he was a hypocrisy, at this time, Liu Hou was thinking hard about how to save Mrs. Gan and avoid becoming an orphan.

Liu Hou didn't mess around like a headless fly, he already had a direction for treatment. This was thanks to the pandemic of 2003. This was the year when a far-reaching epidemic broke out in the Republic.

This epidemic is nothing in the long history, but for people of Liu Hou's age, the speed of its spread, the number of infected people, the number of deaths, and the proportion of deaths are all things that he has never seen in the "best era in history".

The significance of this epidemic has not only brought about a major change in the entire public health system of the Republic, but also brought about a major change in the awareness of the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases from the ruling officials to the general public.

At the beginning of 2003, it was quietly rumored in the society that a terrible infectious disease was spreading, and one after another, Banlangen, Baiyanjing and even salt became the objects of panic buying and hoarding by ordinary people. Liu Hou's work unit also bought a box of banlangen and baiyanjing back, and at that time, liu hou also drank a packet of banlangen, and felt that the taste was particularly disgusting.

At the beginning, Liu Hou didn't know what this so-called "infectious disease" was, after all, the information at that time was still very opaque. Everyone was also panicked, and only later did they know that it was a brand new virus called "SARS". As time passed, the information became more transparent, and the awareness of this new infectious disease gradually increased, so it became known that it was transmitted through the respiratory tract, and then, the masks were out of stock.

The epidemic killed thousands of people, which is nothing compared to the number of people who died during the great plague epidemic in history, especially in the old society, where millions or even tens of millions of plagues died at every turn. However, compared with Liu Hou's short life of more than 20 years after the reform and opening up, this incident was enough to shock his soul. So, in those days, like many people at that time, in order to protect himself and not to be "hit", he also made up some knowledge of infectious disease prevention and control.

Thanks to the Internet era, thanks to Du Niang and Brother Gu, it is very convenient to know what knowledge this era wants. With the help of these powerful search engines, Liu Hou also searched a lot of webpages and posts on the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases. At that time, there was an unprecedented outbreak of the pandemic, so posts about these things were all over the place.

Liu Hou pondered for a long time and remembered that he once saw a certain post, which started with the prevention methods for "SARS", extended to the common prevention methods for all respiratory infectious diseases, and then extended to the prevention methods for infectious diseases transmitted through other channels.

Liu Hou remembers that when he talked about digestive tract infectious diseases, the author took cholera, the most typical digestive tract infectious disease, as an example. Now, after seeing Mrs. Gan's condition, Liu Hou feels that her illness is very similar to the cholera described in the post. All are severe vomiting, diarrhea, and short-term symptoms of dehydration.

Of course, Liu Hou was not sure that Mrs. Gan had cholera, after all, he was not a professional doctor, and he did not have the examination methods of a modern hospital, so he could not judge it by his hazy memory alone. What made him even more hesitant was that when he used cholera as an example, he used the epidemic in the Ganges River Valley in India as an example, and he didn't know whether cholera was introduced to China during the Three Kingdoms period, or whether China had had the disease since ancient times.

However, what is certain is that Mrs. Gan must be dehydrated due to vomiting and diarrhea now, and the post said that the most important thing in the treatment of cholera is to correct dehydration and electrolyte imbalances in time, and the method is surprisingly seen - oral salt supplementation.

The recipe for oral salt supplementation is simple, with the main ingredients being glucose, salt, potassium chloride and baking soda. There is a strict proportion of the various ingredients of oral salt supplementation used in medicine, but Liu Hou doesn't remember that ratio. Liu Hou has never been very sensitive to numbers, and even less sensitive to these percentages, which is what makes him frown at the moment.

Liu Hou paced around the garden, frowning and thinking, if anyone saw him, they would be amazed: how could a 3-year-old child behave so maturely?

In the end, Liu Hou failed to think of the proportion of various components of oral rehydration salt, and finally had to give up. "Forget it, a dead horse is a live horse doctor, a live horse doctor, you can only give it a fight, as long as it can make her dehydration not so serious, hang a life, and when Zhang Zhongjing comes, there will be a chance to save her back, whether it is successful or not, it can only depend on the will of God."

Liu Hou's idea is to ignore the proportion of each ingredient first, and let's mess with it first. Liu Hou called Zuo Ci and fooled him into saying that he had an immortal prescription that could renew Mrs. Gan's life. Zuo Ci was very interested after hearing this, Mrs. Gan's current situation is really only an immortal can be saved. Having the opportunity to learn about the immortal family prescription that can prolong life, for a Dan family, is there anything happier than this?

However, as soon as Zuo Ci heard Liu Hou's recipe, he was stunned: "Add some sugar to the rice soup and add some salt." "It's that simple? This...... This is also the immortal family's life-sustaining formula? Zuo Ci couldn't help but feel deep doubt and disappointment.

Liu Hou also has no choice, where to find glucose this year, he knows that the main ingredient in honey is glucose, but he heard that glucose is moisturizing, and he doesn't know if it will aggravate diarrhea, he doesn't dare to use it, baking soda and potassium chloride are things that have no shadow, so they can only simplify and simplify.

"Master, this ...... Can this work? Can rice soup really cure this disease? "Human life is a matter of heaven, Zuo Ci had to ask his own questions.

"Can't cure ......"

"Uh......" Zuo Ci revealed, "If you can't cure it, you still use it?" ".

"Although it can't be cured, maybe you can hang your life for a few days, didn't you say that you have already gone to invite Zhang Zhongjing? As long as you can survive until he comes, there is hope. "Liu Hou is still very confident in the medical saint.

"Maybe ......" Zuo Ci immediately grasped the point of this sentence, "Master, aren't you sure?" ”

Liu Hou rolled his eyes, "Seeking things is in people, and success is in heaven, the will of heaven is unpredictable, we are doing our best to be a man and doing things, and we just obey the destiny of heaven, I have already told you, I am just a mortal in the flesh now, and the means I can use are also very limited." He had no choice but to fool Zuo Ci like this.

"Disciple understands." Zuo Ci looked like I understood.

Zuo Ci left in a hurry to fool those doctors, although this party seems too simple and a little unreliable, but in the name of his Zuo Xianweng, I believe that those doctors will try it even if they have doubts. Although Liu Hou was worried about Mrs. Gan, he couldn't help anymore, so he could only continue to live a boring life in the backyard.

Due to Liu Hou's arrival, Mrs. Gan saved her life, and the "fairy formula" he made up indiscriminately really made Mrs. Gan last until Zhang Zhongjing's arrival. Zhang Zhongjing deserves to be called a "medical saint", and he finally fished Mrs. Gan back from the ghost gate. However, after all, traditional Chinese medicine methods cannot be as immediate as modern Western medicine, Mrs. Gan is very sick this time, although her life is snatched back, but she is very weak, Zhang Yisheng said that she will have to recuperate for at least three months to half a year.

Liu Hou's "immortal prescription" not only saved Mrs. Gan, but also saved countless people infected with this plague. Because those doctors saw that Mrs. Gan used Zuo Ci's "fairy prescription", there was an improvement the next day, and immediately reported to Liu Bei, Liu Bei did not care about visiting Mrs. Gan at the first time, but immediately arranged it, and used this method to rescue the people who were infected with the epidemic.

In this way, many infected people were able to survive until Zhang Zhongjing's arrival, and many people also picked up a life. Of course, this "immortal formula" with countless living people was also remembered by everyone on Zuo Ci's head, and basically nothing happened to Liu Hou. For the first time, Liu Bei began to pay attention to this Zuo Immortal.

Of course, Liu Hou doesn't care about a little reputation, in fact, at this stage, he can't wait to make Zuo Ci more limelight and attract Liu Bei's attention. After all, Zuo Ci is his spokesperson, and the more he can speak in Liu Bei, the more convenient it will be for him to act.

Liu Hou is now thinking about how to get Zhang Zhongjing to stay. Such a peerless talent, a top-level power, is really a traverser in vain if he is not recruited by his side. Especially in this era of poor sanitation and low medical standards, a super doctor is too important, related to his health and life, how can he not stay by his side?

For this reason, Liu Hou moved a lot of thoughts, but helplessly, everything could not be bypassed Zuo Ci, so he could only let Zuo Ci persuade Zhang Zhongjing first, and when it was ineffective, he asked Zuo Ci to persuade Liu Bei, wanting Liu Bei to come forward to keep Zhang Zhongjing. In fact, Liu Bei also wanted to keep Zhang Zhongjing, and he had always had a good posture in terms of Corporal Lixian, so he didn't need Zuo Ci to say anything at all, he went out in person.

He wore out his mouth, shed tears and lowered his posture, and talked about ambition and the lure of glory and wealth, but unfortunately Zhang Zhongjing didn't like him at all, so he still insisted on leaving.

In fact, it's not that Zhang Zhongjing has a big name, but on the contrary, Zhang Zhongjing really takes it as his responsibility to treat diseases and save people. Think about it, people don't do a good Changsha Taishou, and go everywhere to treat diseases and save people, what is the picture? He didn't want to cling to the powerful, let alone be bound by the powerful, he just wanted to go around and heal the suffering.

As the theme of the TV series "Jigong" sings, "Where there is injustice, where there is me...... he is "Where there is illness (people), where there is me." "He travels everywhere, wherever the epidemic breaks out, he runs wherever he is needed, and he is there wherever he is needed. He was a pure man, a noble man, a man detached from low tastes......

He deserves the title of "Medical Saint". So after the epidemic in Jingzhou subsided, he drifted away and went to the next epidemic area. Liu Hou could only sigh for a long time, he couldn't find someone to tie him up, talents, especially those with ideals and morals, are not so easy to get. "I have to think of a way in the future, how can I let go of such a talent!" Since then, Zhang Zhongjing has been listed in Liu Hou's heart.
