Doctors may be a rare profession outside of China, in this witch doctor is not distinguished, even the West has not established a modern medical system under the premise that many foreign doctors, but also bloodletting as an important method of treatment in the era, the West does not have a systematic training system at all, even if the training of doctors, it is only according to the knowledge that has been mastered to cultivate, many of these are one-sided, and even simply inject bloodletting, witchcraft and other unreliable methods, even in the case of insufficient doctors, a large number of shoddy doctors flooded the cities and villages of Europe. Relatively speaking, traditional Chinese medicine has a complete inheritance system thousands of years ago, and the classics of traditional Chinese medicine emerge in endlessly, although the training of a qualified Chinese medicine practitioner can not be carried out in a short time, but compared with the less reliable Western medicine, it is much more convenient.

Northwest from the very beginning of the focus on doctors, from the beginning of the expansion of Baotou, the proportion of doctors is gradually increasing, the Northwest training doctors are mainly based on traditional Chinese medicine, but not confined to traditional Chinese medicine, after all, traditional Chinese medicine to train a qualified doctor, it takes too long, on the contrary, although Western medicine is not systematic, but in some specific diseases and treatment, has a relatively unique advantage, especially in the era of antibiotics.

At present, the Northwest medical training method is a combination of Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine, introducing the West, blood transfusion, surgery and some medicines, and using some means of traditional Chinese medicine to assist treatment.

The importance attached to prisoners of war in the northwest can already be seen in the medical care. Even if John didn't report it before, in a large-scale prisoner-of-war concentration area. All are staffed with specialized doctors, although among the 100 doctors. There is only one senior doctor, and the rest are all interns who have been gradually trained in the past few years in the Northwest and have been trained by medical school for 3 years or even 5 years, but these interns are also from professional classes, and can easily determine simple diseases and prescribe the right medicine.

These prisoners of war were sick. And there are a lot of them, and the proportion is quite high, but from the perspective of the disease, these patients are either not accustomed to water and soil, or are not accustomed to high-intensity work, their bodies are weak, and they are entered by evil winds, and Chinese medicine has an excellent effect on them. The conditions of the desert are not suitable for boiling, but a small amount of Chinese patent medicine preparations, plus sulfonamides, can solve most of the problems.

Sulfonamides for nationals of other countries. It is an extremely expensive antibiotic, but the Northwest is the inventor of a broad-spectrum antibiotic such as sulfonamides, for foreign hospitals. Sulfonamides may be a life-saving drug with a higher price than gold, but for the Northwest. It's just a compound, and the research on him has been gradually deepened. The process of chemical synthesis and purification is also carried out very smoothly, and the price is gradually reduced.

In this era, the resistance of bacteria has not risen to the point where it cannot be suppressed, sulfonamides and other antibacterial drugs are almost miracle medicines, not to mention that they can cure all diseases, and they are almost, plus many famous doctors carefully selected and made of classic prescriptions of Chinese patent medicines, although these foreigners, for the black, can not see what the Chinese patent medicine pills have a certain resistance, if replaced by a free body, no one will eat these things, But now, they are prisoners of war, sick numbers, and they have no choice.

In this era of China, there is no pollution, the medicine is either arranged by the northwest personnel to plant, or simply wild medicinal materials, the medicinal properties are stable, even with the effectiveness of Chinese patent medicine is also quite high, in the sulfonamide and Chinese patent medicine under the double cooperation, the body of these patients gradually recovered health, are slowly recovered.

Looking at the young men under him, after gradually recovering their health, John was completely relieved, the northwest had no ill will towards them, but to ensure their safety as much as possible, as prisoners of war, they had no freedom, and the work was very hard, but doctors and medicines became their guarantees. Especially sulfonamides, as an officer, he knows very well that this kind of medicine, among the military supplies, is only distributed to officers, and each rank of officers has only a very low ration every year, but in the northwest, even for these prisoners of war, so much is distributed, every sick person is full of 3 pills a day, as little as 2 days, at most 5 days, even this, these soldiers can't afford it, which is already higher than their salaries.

He didn't know why the Northwest was like this, what the intentions were, but John only understood one thing, the Northwest was very good to them, as long as they worked hard, their safety was guaranteed, and there was no freedom anywhere left and right, so why put themselves in a dangerous situation in order to fight.

This part of the prisoners of war, very grateful to the doctors, by the way, is also full of curiosity about the black Chinese patent medicine, especially the propaganda in the northwest, the history of traditional Chinese medicine back thousands of years ago, a more perfect system and immediate results, immediately let this part of the prisoners of war, become the loyal of Chinese patent medicine and Chinese medicine, they will become the messenger of Chinese medicine out of China to the world in the future, Chinese medicine has also embarked on a completely different road from history.

What John saw was just a couple of people under his control, hundreds of people, more than a dozen of them were sick, and finally all recovered, without any sequelae, and even quite healthy, sulfonamide eliminated bacteria, but Chinese patent medicine is solid, for foreigners who have never eaten important things, the effect is not generally good. John's side was lucky, but that doesn't mean that the initial illness didn't take a single life. Millions of prisoners of war, each of them are engaged in the hardest work, in the Gobi Desert in winter, it is normal to be sick, the proportion is not low, even if there are sulfonamides and doctors, there is still a certain mortality rate, this is a normal phenomenon, doctors do not treat the disease and die, sometimes, in the face of a rapidly deteriorating condition, even sulfonamides can not be like a panacea, showing the effect, and even die before taking medicine, or the body is thin, and there are many people who cannot produce the effect of medicine.

Among the prisoners of war, because of the dead, there were some fluctuations, they came to a foreign land, lost their freedom, and engaged in the heaviest manual labor, there was no sense of security, and now they died because of heavy labor, but fortunately in the northwest made as much as possible to retain, the number of dead people relative to the entire prisoners of war, is still a minority, hundreds of thousands of British prisoners of war, in this time there were almost 6,000 who were sick, and in the end, only 11, 11 relative to millions of prisoners of war, Even compared to hundreds of thousands of British prisoners of war, it is a very insignificant matter, but it is not small at all when it falls on these prisoners of war.

The northwest side also attached great importance to it, especially after learning about the psychological fluctuations of these prisoners of war, after breaking up these fluctuating prisoner of war camps, they forcibly suppressed this, so that a more reasonable and relaxed policy appeared in the prisoner of war camps, at least the doctors no longer waited until after the accident to come to the prisoner of war camps, but were stationed, in fixed tents, for the prisoners of war to see a doctor, and sometimes even carried out a series of physical examinations, with prevention instead of treatment, produced good results. Everyone has eyes, everyone has emotions, although it is said that there are dead, but the northwest has done everything, not to mention in the heavy labor, even if it is daily, in peacetime, if the flu goes down, there will be a weak death, propaganda and facts are combined, and the fluctuations of the prisoners of war are gradually suppressed, replaced by calm.

The mentality of prisoners of war is so humble, however, the cold weather, heavy labor, every once in a while, there will still be some sick numbers, a large number of patients, exercise the ability of Northwest doctors, these are just interns who have undergone three or four years of medical training, and have made great progress, at least in a few familiar projects, doctors are always in the constant healing of patients, to get promoted, in the case of the medical discipline system is not perfect, actual combat is the best way, he is more effective than learning, These growing doctors will become the most important part of China's health front, and replacing learning with actual combat has also become a tradition of China's medical system.

When the prisoners of war stabilized and were contributing to the transformation of the desert, constantly changing the environment of the desert and no man's land, the time gradually passed through 1913, the chaotic 1913, in the clarion call of war passed, the whole world was anxious because of the war in Europe, far away from the war China, but in the calm, spent 1913, and gradually ushered in the Spring Festival of 1914, compared to the Gregorian calendar era that had just been popularized, the lunar calendar is still the era method recognized by the whole China, this Spring Festival, It is necessary to have a good time, some necessary preparations and festive atmosphere, and go out in full sight before the year.

As the whole of China, including the northwest, was preparing for the Spring Festival, another piece of good news appeared, a more excellent and broad-spectrum antibacterial drug penicillin than sulfonamides.

Penicillin has long appeared, but the difficulty of purification comparison, when sulfonamide became the most important antibiotic in the northwest, penicillin, the most important invention of the 20th century, also established the project, Yang Yuanzhao, who has walked through later generations, is very clear about the prestige of penicillin, some people even raised the height of penicillin to the average life expectancy of the world's population increased by more than 10 years, such a drug, Yang Yuanzhao will certainly not give up, from the special funds to draw a huge number, specializing in penicillin, these years of time, With the support of huge funds, certain results were obtained, but they have not been obtained, and they can be used for practical concentrations, but unexpectedly, when the Spring Festival came in 1914, this long-awaited breakthrough was finally completed, and the laboratory got enough penicillin for human use.
