Zhu Jishi is almost exhausted, really, to save the pot-bellied women in London, England in 1842! Well, it sounds a little strange, but it's true!
The maternity ward and operating theatre of the European Hospital, where he now works, which caters exclusively to the lower classes of London's working people, are so dirty! It is no wonder that the wealthy and high-class women of this era do not give birth in the hospital, but in the clean and tidy home, and ask Jishu's superb obstetricians to provide door-to-door service. Instead of going to this kind of hospital that Zhu Jishi called a maternity execution ground in his heart...... Execution!
And now, in order to achieve the grand goal of gaining a foothold in Europe in the mid-19th century and making a fortune, Dr. Zhu had no choice but to lead the elderly British midwife, Janet Chu. Lee, and two bourgeois misses Anne who took turns working as volunteer nurses in the maternity ward. Agater and Jessica. Together, Ryan cleaned the dirty maternity ward and operating room. As a result, "Aunt Li" and the two kind-hearted eldest ladies disappeared halfway through, and Zuihou had to grit his teeth and finish all the cleaning work by Zhu Jishi alone.
"Miss Lee (this is a very obese old lady who is almost forty years old and has not yet married), Miss Agater, Miss Ryan."
Zhu Jishi, who was tired and sweating profusely, looked at the three respectful young ladies who had just appeared with a serious face, "I know that you have probably not heard of the 'disease germ theory' - I will soon prove this theory correct through experiments, and before that, I ask you to strictly implement the hygiene and disinfection of the delivery room and surgery that I have formulated." Before each operation and delivery, hands must be washed with a concentration of 5% bleaching powder, and all surgical tools must be steamed at high temperatures before each use, and then repeatedly wiped and disinfected with iodine and alcohol. ”
"Yes, sir." Aunt Li nodded reluctantly, the Tatar's request had clearly increased her workload.
"Sir, according to you, can you really minimize the incidence of puerperal fever?" Annie. Agat, a young lady with blonde hair and a charming face, looked at Zhu Jishi with big eyes. As a result of working as a volunteer nurse in the hospital for several months, the eldest lady has developed a sense of fear of childbirth, and then a little afraid of marriage.
"Just try it?" Zhu Jishi looked at the little girl, but the image of Countess Isabel appeared in his heart, and he seemed to have not seen this beauty for several weeks.
"I hope it works, those dead mothers are really pitiful." The other, a little younger, like a doll, Jessica. Miss Ryan's big eyes were a little foggy. "They had a high fever, shivering, unbearable pain in their lower abdomen, struggled and cried, and Zuihou left their cute baby and passed away tragically...... What terrible disease has taken their lives? ”
"Jessica, I'll let you see this sick man for himself soon, I promise." Zhu Jishi said to the little girl with a smile, his eyes were full of confidence.
……
"Jason, you want some morphine?"
He took a pound note from Zhu Jishi's hand, and listened to the other party's request. Hahn hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What do you want morphine for?" ”
"Do your research."
In a blink of an eye, Zhu Jishi has been working in Omen Hospital for more than a month, although he has not yet made the entire London medical community recognize that he is the greatest medical genius of this era, but it has already made Frank. Hahn was impressed with him. Because there hasn't been a single case of puerperal fever in three weeks at Omen Hospital – three weeks after Zhu Jishi took over the obstetrics department at Omen Hospital.
And even more so that Frank. Hahn found it unbelievable that three days ago, Zhu Jishi actually had a caesarean section in the obstetric operating room! At that time, after obtaining the consent of a woman with a difficult birth and her husband, Zhu Jishi tied a stripped woman to the operating table like a pig butcher, and then tested the blood type of the mother and several other people (including Dr. Hahn himself), and as a result, 400CC of plasma was drawn from herself and the woman's husband, and put it in a large glass test cup.
After making these preparations, Zhu Jishi cut the belly of the mother with a scalpel in front of Hahn, two other doctors and a nurse, and in the heart-rending cry of the mother, cut the belly of the mother with a scalpel, and cut the **, took out the baby, and Zuihou sewed the mother's ** and belly with needles and threads, and gave the mother a blood transfusion during the period......
And this poor mother is not dead yet! Fortunately, he was lying in the ward of the obstetrics department of Oumen Hospital!
"Study what?" Frank. Hahn took out a pound of morphine extracted from the finest opium produced by the East India Company in brown paper, handed it over, and asked in passing.
"Analgesics, I need a highly effective analgesic." Zhu Jishi took the opium and replied. There were two analgesics he intended to make, one called "morphine hydrochloride", which was the most important opioid analgesic in later generations. Morphine was refined in 1806, but it was not shown to be more potent than opium in use. Because the current European pharmaceutical industry is very backward, it can only refine alkaloids, and I don't know how to further process and refine alkaloids with medicinal value such as morphine into drugs with higher purity and higher medicinal value.
Another analgesic that Zhu Jishi wants to create is even more famous! The scientific name of this analgesic is Diyi Xian morphine, and there is also a very famous name for this drug in history, which is called H Heroin! This H Heroin has not been invented now, but Zhu Jishi knows the method of refining H Heroin, which is actually very simple, using morphine hydrochloride plus biethyl XU, and boiling it on the stove to synthesize Diethyl Xian morphine or H Eloin can be synthesized.
Therefore, Zhu Jishi planned to apply for patents for diethyl Xian morphine and morphine hydrochloride from the British Patent Office later, and then after gaining a certain reputation, he would open a pharmacy - pharmacies in this era were all about producing, dispensing, and selling drugs. Many of the famous pharmaceutical companies in later generations were large pharmacies in 1842. So Zhu Jishi also plans to start his dream of making a fortune from the pharmacy.
And Eryi Xian morphine, a drug that makes people smell and change color after more than 100 years, is actually a very, very effective API! In fact, in the nearly 30 years since Heroin was introduced to the market by Bayer in Germany in 1898, this drug is regarded by most doctors as a high-quality and safe drug with miraculous efficacy. It can be used for cough suppressant, pain relief, depression, bronchitis, asthma and all other conditions! So this drug was once ubiquitous, from babies and adults to the elderly were consumers of H-heroin. It is taken in the form of powders, mixtures or suppositories, and even the tampons used by women contain the ingredient of Heroin!
Therefore, after Zhu Jishi understood the attitude of European countries towards opium in this era, opium was also ubiquitous in Europe at this time, not only a must-have medicine in hospitals and pharmacies, but also a munitions for the armies of various countries! Almost all European and American armies will distribute opium to officers and soldiers on time!
It's really ironic that the army of the Qing Dynasty was actually defeated by an opium-smoking double spearman! Therefore, Zhu Jishi naturally thought of refining H Heroin, which is very easy to manufacture and has a medicinal effect dozens of times greater than opium!
He asked Frank. Hahn's purchase of morphine is an important raw material for the refining and manufacture of H-loin, morphine hydrochloride.
Another ingredient for the manufacture of H heroin, Shuangyi Xian, is more readily available. This chemical is actually a very commonly used flavor in the production of pastries, and it is in the kitchen of Mrs. Duran's house, so Zhu Jishi plans to use tomorrow's rest day to refine H Loin at Mrs. Duran's house on Dover Street!
Of course, the dedication of the miracle drug of Heroin to the people of Europe is only part of Zhu Jishi's plan to make a fortune by making drugs, and if the market response of Heroin is good, he also intends to launch coca-based drugs, marijuana-based drugs, and M-flavonoids......
