356 Whims

After rigorous and careful experiments, the cowpox inoculation technology was promoted to Dayuan Island and many other sites affiliated with Hongmen by Wu Changtao, who took over the post of director of the Health Bureau.

Since the death of Huang Youran, the holy hand of surgery, Wu Changtao, as his best disciple, has served as the director of the Keelung Town Health Bureau as a woman, but it has opened the eyes of the people.

Although there was also Chen Yumo, the wife of the chief, who had held important positions such as the mayor of Bengang Town, because of the existence and majesty of the leader Li Tianyang, everyone was not moved because Chen Yumo was a woman.

But now Wu Changtao, a powerless little woman behind her, can finally be on the same level as majestic men like Wu Jie and Gan Dabiao, but she has to amaze the people in the Hongmen system who still have not changed their patriarchal thinking.

In the drama, there are well-known plays such as Hua Mulan joining the army for her father, Mu Guiying taking command, etc., but there are almost no people who can really do a career as a woman in this era.

The people may have doubts about Wu Changtao's ability, but in the Hongmen health system, Wu Changtao's professional level and medical skills are second to none among the many doctors in the Health Bureau, and he deserves to be in charge of the Keelung Town Health Bureau.

Because of her existence, the idea of equality between men and women that Hongmen has been promoting and carrying forward has made achievements among the people, which will not be mentioned here for the time being, but the vaccinia inoculation technology that she has single-handedly promoted has made smallpox, a plague with a very high fatality rate in the Hongmen system, almost extinct.

When looking at the dying smallpox patient pleading with his pitiful and greedy eyes, as a responsible doctor, everyone is rejoicing, but there is a kind of powerlessness and sadness.

To prevent smallpox, the low-side effect pox technology invented by the Hongmen Health Bureau can basically ensure that more than ninety percent of vaccinated cowpox patients will not be infected with smallpox when they are exposed to smallpox, but for such patients who have been exposed to smallpox and have symptoms of body ulceration, everyone can only do their best.

With the current capabilities and technology of the Hongmen Health Bureau, the cure rate for smallpox patients is only 1 in 4, which means that only 256 out of every 100 people can be cured healthily.

With the ability of the Hongmen Health Bureau, not to mention the Ming Dynasty, which was much lower than the medical conditions and doctors of Hongmen, whenever this kind of plague occurred, if the spread rate could not be effectively controlled, the number of deaths would be even greater than that of wars.

Many villages, village by village, and everyone are all dying, which is not just a fragment in later TV movies, but a true portrayal of the era in which Li Tianyang lived, and it is also the greatest sorrow of this era.

Before them, Europeans had just experienced a dark and hopeless period of the Great Plague, and it is said that about half of the entire population of Europe died at that time, which is enough to show the helplessness of this era in the face of the plague.

"Give these patients medicine according to the prescription, and hope they can get through it!"

According to the treatment plan for smallpox in the doctor's manual, combined with the environment of Xufeng Village itself, Xiao Shan discussed with two other doctors and prescribed medicine patches for the treatment of smallpox patients in Xufeng Village, and handed them to the caregivers around him.

"Remember to change the plasters on the patients frequently, and use lime to kill the ward once a day to keep the patients neat and clean."

"Understood."

"Oh yes, don't forget to go to Da'an Town to transport a sick cow with cowpox to vaccinate patients who don't have symptoms of smallpox."

"Understood."

After carefully instructing the nurse to deal with the matter, Xiao Shan had time to eat today's breakfast and lunch, and at the same time had a conversation with his two colleagues.

"Fortunately, these guys are in our Hongmen territory, if they were in the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that they would have been isolated by the officers and soldiers in a Jedi long ago, and they would have been left to fend for themselves."

While eating, Xiao Shan also rejoiced in these patients.

It is only in the territory of Hongmen, like this sudden plague epidemic, the Hongmen Health Bureau must unconditionally carry out treatment, all kinds of valuable medicinal materials, high-concentration alcohol for disinfection, etc., are all things that ordinary people can't afford to use, enough to make them bankrupt.

"Yes, our adults are really good people, and treating our people is not something that those Zhumen wine and meat people in the Ming Dynasty can hope for."

The doctor next to Xiao Shan was a middle-aged man who was older than him, originally a walking man, and later after being recruited by Hongmen from the Ming Dynasty refugees, according to his original occupation and being able to re-study in the medical department of Bengang School for a period of time and qualified, he was placed in the Xufeng Village Health Center in Keelung Town.

The more you live on Dayuan Island, the more you will understand what a happy paradise Dayuan Island is, which is especially felt for those refugees from the Ming Dynasty who were recruited to Dayuan Island.

And the return of Hongmen's policy of paying more attention to the people and benefiting the people is that Li Tianyang, the leader, and the Hongmen group under his command have long surpassed the status of the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty among the people.

Perhaps, in the past, when the people living on Dayuan Island held high the banner of the uprising in Hongmen and rebelled against the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty, they may not have practical rebuttal actions, but they may have a lot of resistance in their hearts; But now, if Li Tianyang is like Li Zicheng and establishes himself as king on Dayuan Island, the people on the island will definitely support Li Tianyang and others 100% and express their heartfelt surrender to them.

"Hey, you say, if we transport this smallpox patient to Liaodong and artificially create a plague, will it make our soldiers in Dongjiang Town less injured?"

Suddenly, Xiao Shan, a young geophysician, thought about the smallpox that everyone had heard of and changed color from a different angle, and put forward such a suggestion.

"Are you crazy? Remember that you are a healer, and the primary duty of a healer is to save lives, not to harm others!! ”

The faces of the two colleagues around Xiao Shan changed color at the same time, and they repeatedly reprimanded Xiao Shan's arrogant and cold-blooded proposal, and the qualified doctors who can graduate from the medical department of the academy, the first belief they have been instilled in their hearts is never to harm people, but to cure diseases and save people.

Although everyone was heartbroken by the battle damage report of Dongjiang Town, which was sent back to Keelung Town some time ago, as well as the cold ashes of the fallen soldiers of Dongjiang Town who were placed in the martyrs' mausoleums, and also hated the Jurchen barbarians of the Qing Dynasty who had caused a lot of damage to the Ming Dynasty, they still did not dare to imagine the picture of the smallpox plague wreaking havoc among the Jurchen tribes in Liaodong.
