Chapter 26 Prevention before Illness

Dong Yun was a little puzzled, "What did the master think of?" ”

"Yun'er, think about it, are there more people in the city these days?" Hua Tuo reminded. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"There are a lot more people who have fled." Dong Yun thought about it, suddenly his expression changed, and he said hurriedly, "I also understand." There are also a lot more sick people on the streets, will more people get sick? ”

Hua Tuo glanced at Liu Yong, only to see Liu Yong nodding heavily, and couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, and suddenly fell into deep fear. Hua Tuo muttered, "Is there another plague to face?" "He knows too well the brutality of the plague. At the end of the Han Dynasty, there were continuous wars, and there were violent corpses everywhere, and the people who fled the disaster aggravated the spread of epidemics, and various infectious diseases were raging, and the death toll in the country reached more than 20 million. In Cao Cao's "Artemisia Travel", "the white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles." The poem "A hundred people are left behind, and the reading breaks people's intestines" is a true portrayal of this time.

Mr. Hua doesn't need to worry too much. Western medicine is much more sophisticated than Chinese medicine in dealing with this disease caused by microorganisms. Liu Yong comforted.

Hua Tuo was surprised and delighted: "Please ask the prince to explain in detail for the old decay." ”

"In Western medicine, there is a special term for this disease caused by microorganisms, which is called infectious disease." Liu Yong looked at the puzzled eyes of these two people, and had to be a teacher again, and continued to explain, "These microorganisms enter our body and cause onset and symptoms, which is called infection. When a sick person passes the disease on to other people, so that more people get the same disease, this is called contagion, and this disease is called an infectious disease. It is characterized by the fact that at first only one or a few people get the disease, and then many people get sick, and the symptoms are very similar, such as typhoid fever. ”

"In fact, we also have a special name here, called the plague, also called the plague." Hua Tuo nodded, and said solemnly: "Childe, please talk again." ”

"In the theory of Western medicine, there are three major elements of infectious diseases, which are called the source of infection, the route of transmission and the susceptible population. Let me explain them separately...... "Liu Yong said eloquently, "the so-called source of infection refers to animals and people that are already sick; For example, tuberculosis must come into contact with the patient's sputum stains, tetanus must have a deep wound, and the transmission route can be subdivided into direct contact, mosquito bites, mating infection, and ......"

"Big brother, you're necrotic." Dong Yun let out an "ah" and took a sip, her little face swollen red.

Liu Yong smiled: "I'm talking about the way of medicine, but you want to be crooked." ”

Dong Yun's face turned even redder, and she muttered, "You just want to be crooked." ”

Liu Yong ignored her and continued: "The third one is called the susceptible population. In other words, some people are particularly susceptible to certain microorganisms. For example, it is not easy for adults to get whooping cough, but we people will not get swine fever. ”

Dong Yun chuckled again, but listened to Liu Yong say again: "These three elements are indispensable. In other words, as long as we cut off the source of infection, the route of transmission, and any link in the susceptible population, then the infectious disease cannot spread. ”

"Childe means that typhoid fever can also be prevented?" Hua Tuo was ecstatic.

"Exactly. For example, the source of infection, we can treat those who are sick and get better. Of course, it may not be cured, so we should pay attention to the follow-up treatment. For example, it is necessary to burn the corpses and their used clothes, and prepare medicinal solutions such as quicklime, plant ash, etc., to disinfect the used utensils and living surroundings of these patients, and kill these disease-causing microorganisms, so that there are no microorganisms that can be transmitted to healthy people and cause illness.

"The second is to cut off the route of transmission. For example, malaria, also known as 'swinging', is caused by mosquito bites, so it is extremely important to control mosquitoes in ordinary times. For those who are already sick, we separate them from healthy people and do not give them a chance to come into contact so that they are not contagious.

"Third, susceptible populations. It's about turning people who are susceptible to infection into people who are not susceptible to infection. ”

Dong Yun was surprised: "Do you have to sprinkle lime on your body, isn't that very uncomfortable?" ”

Liu Yong and Hua Tuo laughed, and Hua Tuo said, "Yun'er, don't worry, your eldest brother has his own way." Dong Yun also thought about how this method was possible, and stuck out her tongue embarrassedly.

Liu Yong smiled: "There are many ways to make people less susceptible, and the best way is to exercise more often, enhance resistance, and then develop good hygiene habits." Third, take some effective medications at the right time. With such a three-pronged approach, even if there is an epidemic, it will not cause a major epidemic, let alone a large death. Liu Yong said secretly, in fact, the best way is to get vaccinated, that is the way to do it once and for all, but unfortunately I don't have this ability and this condition now.

Hearing Liu Gongzi's words, the old man suddenly opened. Childe already has a way to deal with it? ”

Liu Yong nodded and said: "Our sages put forward the concept of 'curing the disease before it happens' very early on, which actually contains two meanings, one is to prevent the disease before it happens, and the other is to prevent the disease from changing, both of which emphasize prevention first and take precautions. Nowadays, there are more and more sick people in the towns, and it is necessary to take measures as soon as possible to prevent minor illnesses from becoming major epidemics. ”

"What Gongzi said is very true, this has to be promulgated by the county magistrate of Yu, and it can only be implemented immediately."

That's exactly what I mean. Therefore, I would like to ask Mr. Hua to tell the county magistrate Yu about the benefits and disadvantages, and implement it as soon as possible. Sir is a famous doctor in the world, and what you say carries much more weight than my half-son. ”

Hua Tuo laughed and said, "Don't worry, the old man understands." ”

Hua Tuo and Liu Yong came to see Yu Tuo together, and Hua Tuo told him about the situation. There have been many reports from subordinates about this situation, but Yu Yu didn't pay much attention to it. It is no wonder that the Jingxiang area was very little affected by the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the food was abundant, and the people's hearts were stable, and it was understandable that Yu Fu realized the seriousness of the situation. However, when the epidemic was in the midst of the epidemic, Yu Yu knew about the miserable scene that caused ten rooms and nine emptiness, and now he couldn't help but tremble and be afraid when he thought of the many sick people in the city.

Yu turned away from the chief Xi and shook himself to the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "What can Mr. do you have to remedy?" ”

Hua Tuo helped Yu up and comforted: "The county magistrate doesn't need to be polite, the old man has entrusted the prevention and control strategy to Liu Gongzi." The county magistrate can follow the policy. ”

Yu Tuo's medical skills were 100% trusted, and he said again and again: "This will hinder the son." ”

Liu Yong comforted: "The county magistrate doesn't need to worry too much. I feel that this is just an ordinary epidemic, although it should not be taken lightly, but there is no need to talk about the tiger's color change. ”

Yu turned his expression a little calmer, and still said: "How does Gongzi know that it is an ordinary epidemic and not a sign of a plague epidemic?" ”

Liu Yong Zhengse said: "Although there are many sick people in the city, the illness is not serious, and the number of people who die of illness is even rarer, which is proof." Moreover, if it is a plague, it is not only the county that suffers, and in the past few months, has the county magistrate received a notice of a major epidemic in a neighboring county? ”

Yu Fu nodded, half of his heart was relieved, and said: "Although each county is now independent, it is often in contact on weekdays. It is true that this official did not report such news. Childe, in your opinion, how should my county deal with it? ”

Liu Yong said: "Although it is a current epidemic, we can't ignore it, so as not to cause a small illness to become a major epidemic." It is proposed to set up a headquarters first, which is called the Fuyi Epidemic Emergency Prevention and Control Leading Group, with the county magistrate as the leader, the county magistrate, the county lieutenant and I as the deputy leaders, and three groups below. ”

Yu interjected: "This county is small, so there is no county." Let the official take the same position. ”

"Then the county magistrate, Brother Dong and I will lead these three groups respectively." Liu Yong paused, and then said: "The county magistrate is in charge of the overall situation, in charge of the logistics support group, and his responsibilities are to issue proclamations, allocate personnel, and raise money, food, medicines and other materials; The county lieutenant Dong Zheng is in charge of the public security group, and his responsibility is to organize all townships and pavilions to investigate the epidemic situation in their jurisdictions, immediately report to the epidemic disposal team if they find patients with fever, and organize fast arrests, patrols, and militia groups to disinfect the environment, investigate and deal with illegal acts, and deal with emergencies. It is responsible for the epidemic treatment team, which is composed of military doctors in the battalion, Langzhong in the city and some sergeants, whose main responsibilities are to treat all kinds of patients sent in a unified manner, as well as the harmless disposal of sick and dead patients; ”

"Wait, Liu Gongzi, why is the old man more and more frightened the more he listens." Yu Fu frowned, puzzled, and said, "Since Gongzi said that it was an ordinary epidemic, why should the whole city be mobilized and make people panic?" Is this necessary? ”

"On the surface, there is indeed a lot of movement, and there is some fuss." Liu Yong said sincerely, "In the next step, we can not only eliminate the possible epidemic in the bud, but also find shortcomings and accumulate experience in the process of dealing with it, so as to prevent a real epidemic from being caught off guard." ”

Yu Flip stood up and paced back and forth in the room a few times, but he couldn't make up his mind. Liu Yong said in a deep voice: "The county magistrate is not worrying about the sky. Huainan and Xuzhou are not far from here, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, and Lu Bu's forces are intertwined, and the war is about to break out. Liu Yong has a deep understanding of this. There is a chicken farm in his jurisdiction, and he thinks that the management is in place, and he can't listen to Liu Yong's advice. Unexpectedly, a sudden avian flu immediately made the managers panic, helpless in the face of the epidemic, although immediate and decisive measures were taken, but still inevitably the whole group was wiped out, and the losses were extremely heavy.

Yu sighed: "Liu Gongzi, what you said makes sense. But this county is different, such a trouble, the whole county will be in chaos, the rich families fled, the merchants closed their doors, so that the rice beads and laurels, the people were panicked, and there were more unscrupulous people in the instigation, seeking personal gain, how to appease the county, how to deal with it? Liu Yong was stunned, why didn't he expect it, he was still young and inexperienced.

Hua Tuo said on the side: "There is a way to be old. ”

Yu turned over and said, "Mr. Hua has any opinions, come quickly." ”

Hua Tuo smiled: "Let's post a notice first, just say that it is an ordinary exercise." ”

Yu Chuan praised: "Wonderful." Liu Yong also suddenly said: "Mr. Hua's idea is good." We only need to explain what time period and where we want to conduct an emergency drill for epidemic response. If the people know that there is no real epidemic, they will not panic, so that we can complete the epidemic handling and drills without realizing it. ”

Yu chuckled, "Then let's do it." What else does the county need to do to deal with the epidemic? ”

"It is the medicinal materials and items needed to fight the epidemic. It just so happened that Yun'er sent it. Liu Yong took a roll of bamboo slips from Dong Yun's hand and presented it to Yu Xuan, "This is the medicinal materials, articles and other things to be purchased in the next draft." Yu flipped through it and read softly: "Honeysuckle, wild chrysanthemum, dandelion, ground lily, andrographis...... quicklime, sulfur, borax...... Ah, so much? ”

Yu flipped and looked at the number behind him, and was surprised, "Why is the number so much?" ”

Liu Yong arched his hand and said: "Some of them are for treatment, some are for prevention for people who are not sick, and more are prepared for the future epidemic." ”

Yu asked, "Are we only going to prepare the dosage of treatment?" ”

Liu Yong shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it won't work." First, some people look normal, but in fact they have been sick, but we have not seen obvious symptoms, and these people cannot be ignored; Second, the price of medicine is still relatively low, and it can be purchased in large quantities, but once the situation changes, I am afraid that money will not be able to buy it. ”

Yu Fu smiled bitterly: "Liu Gongzi's ideas are all right, but the county has its own difficulties. You need so much medicine and supplies there, even if the old man has the ability to go through the sky, he can't conjure up so much money out of thin air. ”

Liu Yong smiled and said, "County magistrate, you can buy some of it first, and you don't have to worry about the rest, because we are about to have money." ”
