Chapter 64: Malaria

After listening to Dr. Liu's words, Yu Xiaotian felt like he had been poured a basin of cold water on his head, and felt that his heart was pulling out the cold, which meant that Dr. Liu's gang of guys had been here for most of the year, completely in vain, and he had invested huge resources for this, and the idea that they could make even a little breakthrough in this area fell into the vacancy.

But he can't lose his temper about this matter, because many things in medicine have to be gradual, and the treatment of many diseases, even hundreds of years, has been broken through by doctors, and although he knows that there are ingredients in Artemisia annua that can treat malaria, he doesn't know how to extract this ingredient, and he must rely on these doctors to gradually explore and find a working method.

In just over a year, he wanted to make a breakthrough, and it was obviously a little too hasty, so it was not interesting for him to complain, and he tried to put these Langzhong under ideological pressure, and finally became discouraged and unwilling to do it anymore.

So he nodded in understanding, and said something to appease Dr. Liu.

And this Dr. Liu is also a person with very good medical ethics, and he is very admirable for Yu Xiaotian, the leader of the pirates, to pay so much attention to the prevention of malaria, for the pirates, few people will care about this problem, in their eyes, human life is the most worthless thing, killing people is as simple as crushing an ant to death, and human life is not as good as an ant for them.

But Yu Xiaotian, the big boss of the sea wolf, unexpectedly attached great importance to their health to his subordinates, and even these immigrants, and did not hesitate to spend money to find a way to procure medicines, and also found a way to get them to treat these people, which is quite a rare thing.

And Yu Xiaotian clearly pointed out to them a way to treat the plague of malaria, if they do it, it will be a huge thing for the benefit of the people, in the future, I don't know how many patients suffering from malaria can be saved, this is more important than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, and it can completely offset the killing of Yu Xiaotian.

This is also the reason why he is willing to stay here, with some colleagues here to try to treat malaria, the most important thing is that he admires Yu Xiaotian's character, this person is a pirate leader, but he rarely does tyrannical things, but is very concerned about the local people's livelihood, not only not serious harm to the people, but in the coastal areas of Fujian, to provide a relatively stable and safe environment for fishermen and coastal people.

This kind of thing is a bit unbelievable, but it cannot be denied that Yu Xiaotian has good thoughts, and he does not regard the lives of ordinary people as a person who is a mustard, and in this regard, he is even a hundred times stronger than many officials on land today.

So Dr. Liu is also willing to stay with peace of mind and do more things, but so far, he has not found an effective way to use something like Artemisia annua to cure the disease of malaria, looking at the disappointment on Yu Xiaotian's face, he also felt that he had disappointed Yu Xiaotian's expectations, and felt a little guilty.

So Yu Xiaotian talked to him about how they concocted these yellow artemisia, and Yu Xiaotian also asked Dr. Liu to take him to see the laboratory here, that is, the workshop for concocting traditional Chinese medicine.

Here Yu Xiaotian sent more than 20 young boys and girls to Dr. Liu, most of these boys and girls are orphans, they have gone through literacy, learned to recognize a lot of words, and can roughly read some medical books on their own, and through observation, these orphans are more calm, patient, and conscientious and responsible, so they were selected to be Dr. Liu's apprentices, follow them to study medicine, and give them a hand, help take care of the sick, and also help them concoct medicinal materials.

These young boys and girls are busy in the workshop of medicinal herbs, some are cutting medicines, some are boiling medicines, and some are making powders, steaming and boiling, and they are very busy.

Yu Xiaotian took a look at their situation here, and dumped a large amount of medicinal residue in a pit outside the workshop, which shows that Dr. Liu, these Langzhong, have not been idle here for half a year, but have indeed thought of a lot of ways to concoct medicinal materials, and want to find an effective way to deal with these yellow artemisia, but so far, they have not found a suitable method to cure the evil disease of malaria.

So he was relieved, as long as these people were willing to continue to work, time would allow them to succeed sooner or later, and the treatment of malaria by yellow artemisia was not entirely discovered by later generations of scientific researchers.

These scientific research workers are in countless ancient prescriptions, found this kind of thing, must have been found in ancient times doctors have discovered the effect of Artemisia annua, and must have been successful, with Artemisia annua cured of malaria, so they will inspire later generations of scientific research workers, and finally successfully tried Artemisinin, an antimalarial drug, extracted from Artemisia annua.

So since the ancients discovered that something like artemisia annua can cure malaria, there is no reason why he, the medical officers, could not find this method, as long as they tried more, sooner or later they would definitely be able to find an effective way to concoct it, and finally achieve a certain curative effect.

So Yu Xiaotian encouraged Dr. Liu and other medical officers here, telling them not to be discouraged, and just continue to test until a solution is found.

Originally, Yu Xiaotian was going to leave here after seeing the situation here, but when he inadvertently asked about the situation of some of the patients who survived, he unexpectedly learned a useful piece of news from Dr. Liu.

Dr. Liu inadvertently mentioned a teenager who suffered from malaria, his condition was already very serious, and after being sent here, he was already dying, but after taking some medicines, his condition actually stabilized, and his life was temporarily saved, but it was not cured, but he saw a little cure, but he saw a little cure, but his condition was a little lighter, and he was still under observation, so Dr. Liu did not mention this matter just now.

It was only when Yu Xiaotian asked about the surviving patients that he inadvertently mentioned the situation of this young man, which immediately attracted Yu Xiaotian's attention.

"That's a good sign! Why didn't Dr. Liu mention it just now? Yu Xiaotian came to his senses as soon as he heard this, and asked Dr. Liu excitedly.

Doctor Liu hurriedly explained to Yu Xiaotian.

"Don't worry so much! That's a good thing! Although this teenager has not yet been cured, but for us, it is also good news, which at least shows that the method you used has had a certain effect, and it has not been in vain, you must hurry up, continue to adhere to this method, and see how the effect is, if this teenager is finally cured, then this is equivalent to finding a way! After Yu Xiaotian learned the news, he suddenly came to his senses, and the disappointment just now was swept away, and Dr. Liu took him directly to see the sick teenager.

The boy was arranged alone in a ward, and someone specially took care of him here, this young man had a sallow face, very thin, lying quietly on the bed, and did not speak, just stared at the roof in a daze, until Yu Xiaotian and Dr. Liu entered his room, his eyes rolled slightly, but he did not react to their arrival.

But the nurse in the ward knew Yu Xiaotian's identity, and quickly knelt down to kowtow to Yu Xiaotian, and the young man reacted more or less, as if he struggled to get up, but he still couldn't sit up, so he lay on the bed again.

Yu Xiaotian didn't care, waved his hand to let the apprentice in the ward out, Dr. Liu walked over, checked the young man's pulse, and asked the young man a few words, probably how he felt today.

Then he turned around and said to Xiaotian: "Today he is still swinging, and he doesn't seem to have much sign of improvement, but after taking his pulse, he didn't find any signs of continued deterioration!" ”

Yu Xiaotian looked at the young man, turned around and walked out of the ward, Dr. Liu saw that Yu Xiaotian did not shy away from the patient for this matter, and personally went to the ward to check the patient's situation, and he was also very impressed by him, many people saw such a patient, let alone approaching, most people avoided it, but Yu Xiaotian didn't care, it can be seen that Yu Xiaotian is not hypocritical, but really cares about this matter.

After walking out of the room, Yu Xiaotian chatted with Dr. Liu for a while, and asked Dr. Liu how he used medicine, and Dr. Liu said: "In the past six months, the patients sent here have been equipped with various recipes based on the instructions of the big boss, with Artemisia annua as the main ingredient, and a lot of concocted methods have been used, but most of them have not worked.

I waited for the use of steaming, boiling and other processing methods, to deal with Artemisia, but the effect is not good, this time in the next check a defective ancient book prescription, which has a medicine, seems to be used to treat this disease, Artemisia annua a hand, a liter of water stains, wringing juice clothes, can be treated! So I simply stopped trying to concoct it!

And when this son came, he was already terminally ill, and he saw that there was more air out and less air in, so he thought that he could do his best, so he used this method, but he didn't expect that after drinking it for two consecutive days, this son's life was hanging!

Today is the fourth day, and although there is no sign of recovery, it seems that there is no continued deterioration, so I plan to continue to use this method, increase the dosage of some medicine, and let him take it for a few more days to see if it has improved!

I didn't mention this to the big boss just now, because although this son hung his life, he didn't see much improvement, so he didn't say it to the big boss in the next day! I hope you will forgive me! ”
