Chapter 8 Planting Cowpox
"Just get a pox." Li Zhonghua said without fear.
"Just get a pox." Quan Wanji pondered for a while, he didn't understand the knowledge of medical skills, and he couldn't judge what Li Zhonghua meant for a while, but Li Zhonghua didn't have any fear, which made him dare not despise it.
Now there happens to be a group of imperial doctors, and Doctor Sun is also there, is what this young man said right? Bring him in and ask, maybe this is really an opportunity.
If the other party is just talking nonsense, it's not too late to teach him a lesson.
Thinking like this, Quan Wanji temporarily restrained his temper, let the soldier retreat, and brought Li Zhonghua into the lobby.
"Your Highness, this person came here after seeing the medical order, and he said that he can control the spread of the epidemic." Quan Wanji brought Li Zhonghua to the side of Li Ke, the king of Shu, and said.
The doctors here are all at least forty or fifty years old, with rich experience, and when they heard that Li Zhonghua, a young man with a weak crown, was actually a doctor, and had found a way to prevent the spread of the smallpox epidemic, their eyes widened one by one, and they couldn't believe it.
"Arrogant, a yellow-mouthed child with a milky smell and dry taste, he dares to say that he can control the spread of the smallpox epidemic." The Imperial Physician said loudly in shame.
Joke, his medical skills are not as good as people like Sun Shenyi, if he is not as good as such a teenager, then he might as well buy a piece of tofu and die. Imperial Doctor Ling thought angrily.
"That's it, how old are you! If you want to be an official and make a fortune, you want to go crazy, right? ”
The imperial doctors didn't think that Li Zhonghua really had a way to control the smallpox epidemic, and they made sarcastic remarks one by one.
It's no wonder that everyone is thinking in their hearts, unless he is a medical genius, even if he is a genius, isn't Doctor Sun a medical genius? It's not that there is no way to take the smallpox epidemic.
"If you don't try, how do you know that it won't work, it's better than you can't think of any way, it's better!"
Li Zhonghua was also a little angry, he was kind enough to benefit the people of the Tang Dynasty, why was it so difficult?
"Everyone, don't be bored, since this little Langjun dares to come to the Dadu Governor's Mansion to give advice, he wants to serve the court and save the people from fire and water, which is still very good.
As for whether his method is feasible or not, you are all experienced doctors, I believe you will know if you try it!
Now he hasn't even said the way to control the smallpox epidemic, everyone is eager to deny it, and he won't give young people a chance at all. ”
Li Ke, the king of Shu, doesn't care what the imperial doctors think, someone finally came up with a way to control the epidemic, at least he should listen to what the other party said and give it a try!
Although judging from the age of the other party, Li Ke doesn't trust the other party very much, and he can really come up with any useful methods, but it is also an opportunity.
How to control the epidemic now is the top priority, and as long as there is the slightest opportunity, he does not want to let it go.
"What His Royal Highness the King of Shu said is that it is urgent to save the people from fire and water, and please tell me about this little Langjun, what methods are you going to use to control the epidemic?" Sun Simiao nodded and said with a smile.
The King of Shu and Doctor Sun both said this, and the major doctors had no choice but to keep silent.
"If smallpox patients want to be cured, there is basically no good way, whether they can survive or not depends entirely on the will of God.
However, we can prevent it, and with my methods, the epidemic can be brought under control very quickly.
Everyone knows that smallpox is a disease, as long as you get it once, you can survive by luck, and you don't have to worry about getting it again in the future, so my method is to plant pox, and plant pox for all people who have not been infected with smallpox. ”
"Pox, you also know how to plant pox? It's just that the method of planting pox is too dangerous, although there are successful examples, but there are more people who contract smallpox because of pox, and the gains outweigh the losses! Sun Simiao sighed and said.
"This old miracle doctor, could it be that you have undergone clinical trials to control the smallpox epidemic through pox, could it be that you are Sun Simiao, who is known as the old immortal." Li Zhonghua said in surprise.
According to his historical research, Sun Simiao once used death row prisoners to test the method of pox, but as he just said, the probability of success is too low.
Just imagine, a normal person who has not suffered from smallpox, if he does not accept the pox, he may not be infected with smallpox for the rest of his life, and once he receives the pox, he will be infected with smallpox at any time, who would be willing to accept the pox to prevent smallpox.
"The old man is Sun Simiao, the old fairy really doesn't dare to be, how does Xiaoyou know, only the old man has tried to prevent smallpox through the method of planting pox?"
In fact, Sun Simiao was nearly 80 years old at this time, and he can be said to be a very long-lived person in this era.
"Guess casually, since the old fairy has already known the method of planting pox, it is obvious that the old fairy has already tried it, this kind of practice of fighting poison with poison, only the old fairy has the courage to think, and it is speculated that the old fairy must be an experiment by smearing the abscess liquid on the body of the smallpox patient directly on the death row prisoners who are about to be published in the imperial court." Li Zhonghua said with a smile.
Sun Simiao is a cattle man, who has gone through three dynasties and lived for more than 140 years, so he can meet this old immortal so soon, and he can also discuss with him how to control the smallpox epidemic, Li Zhonghua is happy in his heart.
Originally, he was worried that he would only talk on paper, but now he has the mind to praise it, and he has the experience of planting human pox, as long as he tells him to change to cowpox, he will never have anything to do with himself.
Not only solved the smallpox epidemic, but also did not give himself any trouble, how could Li Zhonghua not be happy about such a good thing?
"Xiaoyou is right, a few years ago in Chang'an, there was also an outbreak of smallpox epidemic, the old man was summoned by His Majesty into the palace to diagnose the eldest grandson queen, for smallpox, the old man thought of the way to fight poison with poison very early, but it was too risky, so he didn't dare to try, after all, it is a major matter of human life.
Later, under His Majesty's repeated requests, such a method was proposed, so His Majesty issued an order to recruit prisoners on death row to do clinical experiments on pox.
As a result, only three of the 10 condemned prisoners involved in the pox were successfully imprisoned in the smallpox population, and indeed they were not infected with the smallpox virus.
It's just that the success rate is too low, and I killed seven people, all of whom died because of me, and when I think about it, the old man feels guilty! Sun Simiao sighed after finishing speaking.
"The old immortals don't have to mind, they died of smallpox, at least they can leave a whole corpse, otherwise, they will also be beheaded, and don't they have three more who have come back to life, with the opportunity to be human again, they should be very grateful to the old immortals when they go out." Li Zhonghua persuaded.
"Since the old immortals have already tried it, the method of planting pox is too dangerous, it can be seen that this method will not work, Xiao Langjun still has something to say." A physician asked.
"It's true that there is a danger in getting a pox, but if you change to a cowpox, there is no danger."
