Chapter 16 Prevention and Control of Plague, Ancient Surgery

In order to keep Hua Tuo, Tian Jing said that he still had shortcomings in the prevention and control of the plague, but it was not without purpose, he said it based on the knowledge of later generations and the observations of the past few days. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info "I would like to ask sir, the corpse of the plague patient, what does sir generally do with it?" ”

"I asked people with mild symptoms to transport their bodies farther away to be buried. ”

Tian Jing said, "Sir, this method takes into account that the corpse must be disposed of, and at the same time, there is no problem in isolating the living person. But burial is not advisable. This is because when the corpse is buried under the soil, it will still be gnawed by wild dogs and rats, and rats are the most likely to spread the plague. In addition, if it rains, the toxins from the decomposing corpses can seep into the groundwater, and these hydrations are connected to our well water and are not safe. ”

Hua Tuo had never heard of the concept of groundwater, but he felt that Tian Jing had some truth in what he said. "And what do you think should be?"

"The best thing to do is to burn the bodies in one place. In this way, you will not have to worry about the problems mentioned earlier. Tian Jing said easily, but he did not know that in the concept of the Chinese at that time, the dead were great, and burning the body was not accepted by ordinary people. However, many of the remnants of the Yellow Turban preached the burning of corpses with fire.

So Hua Tuo looked at him with some strange eyes. However, Hua Tuo is a person who is not bound by secular concepts, and he also feels that Tian Jing's ideas have some truth after listening to them. So he really wanted to hear what Tian Jing had to say, "So what else?" ”

Tian Jing continued, "With all due respect, the herbs boiled by Mr. should only control the patient's fever, but not cure, most of the people who recover mainly rely on their own resistance, so what they need is someone to take care of them, be able to drink water and have enough food. Moreover, these people have different degrees of illness, and they are all easy to cross-infect when they are all gathered together, which also makes it more difficult for them to recover. Depending on the severity of the condition, these people should be divided into small quarantine areas, with different approaches being taken to people in different areas. ”

Hua Tuo really heard some new words from Tian Jing, such as resistance and cross-infection, but he felt that there was some truth in what Tian Jing said. He knows that his own medicine is mainly to control the patient's fever and fever, and other effects are not great, and it is up to the patient himself to recover. In addition, I also found that some patients had relapses after their condition improved, which seems to have something to do with this cross-infection. Hua Tuo was a little more polite to Tian Jing's tone, "I also know the benefits of having more people to take care of the sick, but where to find someone." I've tried to find some helpers in other places before, including a few of my apprentices, but most of the people who help me take care of the sick are suffering from the plague, so no one dares to help me take care of these people who have the plague now. I think I was able to stay safe all the time, probably because I grew up smelling all kinds of Chinese medicine. ”

"Close contact with sick people is dangerous, and even if you don't share food utensils with them, you can be contagious, because the virus can be spread through the air and droplets." I can make a batch of protective masks, and the chance of being infected will be greatly reduced. If my husband can trust me, I can ask my people to help him treat these patients. ”

Hua Tuo didn't expect that there would be such a solution, and if Tian Jing just talked about it, he was willing to send someone to help him treat the patient, which he didn't expect. Hua Tuo asked Tian Jing, "Then what conditions do I need to promise you?" Treat your young lady? ”

"To tell you the truth, I very much hope that my husband can treat my young lady, but seeing the situation here, I also realize that my request may not be reasonable. I have asked someone to drive the carriage to take the young lady south, and I will go to Lushi County tomorrow, if the gentleman is free, he can help the young lady to diagnose and treat one or two, I am grateful. Tian Jing said very sincerely.

"In that case, let's come back tomorrow, but with that said, I can't guarantee that I will be able to save it." Hua Tuo didn't look back and went back to the quarantine area to take care of the patients.

Tian Jing knew that Hua Tuo said this, so it was equivalent to agreeing. He got up and said goodbye and returned to the city with the county commander Wang Yi. This Wang Yi is indeed a good official, especially in such troubled times, it is indeed a blessing for the people of the Lu clan to catch up with such a county order.

Tian Jing thought of promising Hua Tuo to send someone to help take care of the plague patients, so he had to make a protective mask. Tian Jing and Wang Yi expressed their thoughts. Wang Yi found someone to collect charcoal according to Tian Jing's method, broke the charcoal into small pieces, and then put the broken charcoal between two pieces of cotton cloth, sewed it, sewed a few ropes on the cotton cloth, tied it to the back of his head, and a protective mask was ready. Wang Yi ordered a total of 100 masks to be made. But how effective it is, I don't dare to try it easily. I can only wait for Tian Jing's people to experiment.

The next day, he rushed to Lushi County with Lu Wen's carriage and Tian Jing's nearly 100 parts. Tian Jing picked out twenty people to bring special masks, and personally led them to find Hua Tuo.

Seeing the outfits of Tian Jing and others, Hua Tuo was noncommittal. When he heard that Tian Jing would personally bring people into the quarantine area to help him take care of the patients, Hua Tuo didn't expect it. He originally thought that Tian Jing would be afraid of his subordinates coming, in order to save the young lady who assassinated Master Shi, and not to care about the lives of the soldiers. Now his opinion of Tian Jing has changed a little, and the only question is whether the protective mask designed by Tian Jing can be effective.

After Hua Tuo explained the problems that Tian Jing and the others had to pay attention to, he asked them to take care of the patients separately. Hua Tuo also went to Tian Jing's military camp as promised to see Lu Wen's condition. The severity of his illness was beyond his expectations, and it was no wonder that Tian Jing was in a hurry.

Hua Tuo was silent after seeing it, and asked the accompanying doctor to find out the cause of the young lady's illness. Lu Wen, who was hit hard, was seriously injured in all her internal organs. In his opinion, the only way is surgery, which cuts open the stomach and sutures the injured internal organs. But this was impossible in the eyes of the people of the time. Others may think of themselves as crazy.

But Hua Tuo is the kind of person who is very direct, and he is not willing to beat around the bush, so he said his thoughts. But the people around Lu Wen, including the accompanying doctors, felt that this matter was absolutely impossible. Xiaoliu was entrusted by Tian Jing to take care of Lu Wen, so when he heard the news, he immediately went to find Tian Jing.

When Tian Jing heard the news that Hua Tuo was going to have surgery, he was not only not surprised, but also felt that this matter was feasible. Of course, Hua Tuo was the only person in that era who could do dissecting and surgery. The legends of later generations about him have already deified Hua Tuo. The only thing Tian Jing wants to know is whether Hua Tuo has developed Ma Boiling Powder now, otherwise Lu Wen will definitely not be able to endure that kind of pain.

When Tian Jing hurried back to Lu Wen's tent, he was first given a lecture by Hua Tuo, because he had already entered the quarantine area. Without Hua Tuo's permission, he can't come out casually, otherwise he may infect people outside. Tian Jing promised that only this time, as long as he had nothing to do after a ten-day observation period, he would come out. Then Tian Jing told Hua Tuo that he agreed with the operation. I just don't know if there is any way to alleviate the pain during surgery.

Tian Jing's performance made Hua Tuo even more impressed with him. I didn't expect this kid to have such a strong ability to accept new things, he only experimented with animals, and he had never operated on people, this is that no one has ever known medical skills, but Tian Jing dared to agree. And his question was to the point, a way to keep the patient from feeling pain. And this medicine has just been successfully trial-produced, thanks to the mandala seeds he got from Hu Shang a few years ago, and now he already has a small field of mandala flowers in his medicine garden. Through a series of experiments of his own, this medicine that can make people feel as if they were drunk without feeling pain has finally been developed, and it seems that this time it will be used on this teenage female doll.

Due to the seriousness of Lu Wen's condition, Hua Tuo decided to operate immediately. Tian Jing also put forward the suggestion of finding a clean room and boiling all the items used for the operation with boiling water for sterilization. Hua Tuo readily agreed, and then asked people to start preparing.

After everything was ready, Hua Tuo asked everyone to wait outside, Tian Jing originally arranged for a young lady's personal maid to fight inside, but when Hua Tuo began to use the knife, the maid fainted and fainted. As a last resort, Tian Jing had no choice but to go in and help by himself.

The operation lasted more than two hours, and the most effective way to prevent excessive bleeding at that time was acupuncture, which proved to be more effective than some methods of modern medicine.

When Tian Jing watched Hua Tuo start to stitch up the wound, he had a hunch that the operation should be a success. Tian Jing promised Hua Tuo to keep the process of the operation confidential. So people outside don't know how Hua Tuo healed Lu Wen. But when Hua Tuo and Tian Jing came out in the anxious anticipation of all the people, looking at their expressions, the maids knew that their young lady was saved.

Hua Tuo explained how the maids took care of Lu Wen, when to take what medicine, when to urinate, when to drink water and eat, and so on. Then explain that if there is a problem, find him at any time, and go back to the quarantine area to take care of the patient.

Tian Jing was more worried about Lu Wen's injury, but he had promised Hua Tuo to take care of the plague patients, so he handed over the care of Lu Wen here to Xiao Liu.

Time passed quickly, and before I knew it, ten days had passed, and Lu Wen's dangerous period had passed and was gradually recovering. Hua Tuo would come to see her every day, and seeing her appearance, Hua Tuo knew that the dangerous period of the first stage had passed. But it doesn't mean that Lu Wen will be fine, the question now is whether the sutured wound will be infected, which was unavoidable at that time. Moreover, the wounds on the internal organs are much more difficult to heal than the wounds on the surface of the body, and it takes about a month or two. Therefore, Hua Tuo asked Lu Wen to continue to pay attention to rest, and prescribed some drugs to replenish the body in addition to the drugs to stop bleeding, hoping that Lu Wen could persist in the past.

The first question Lu Wen asked after waking up was where was herself? Because except for his own assassination of his father Lu Bu at the banquet and being injured, his memory has been intermittent and confused. When the maid told her about how Tian Jing had looked for Hua Tuo everywhere to treat herself, and when Hua Tuo had taken care of the plague patients regardless of the danger in order for Hua Tuo to treat her, Lu Wen suddenly wanted to meet this person she had seen twice-what kind of person was he?
