Chapter 63: The guinea pig in the Tamsui Hospital
Outside this small col, there is a sea wolf checkpoint, which prohibits ordinary people from entering the col at will, which shows that there is a more important facility for sea wolves in this col.
But after entering the col, you can smell the smell of some traditional Chinese medicine faintly wafting out of the col, after turning a corner, you can see that there is a camp in the col, the environment is quite quiet, and there is a clean stream, flowing down from the mountain, flowing through this camp, providing a clean water source for this camp.
When Yu Xiaotian walked into this small camp, the soldiers who followed him found out that this was actually a medical hall for Sea Wolf, which was actually a hospital.
At this time, there is a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine wafting in the medical hall, there are about a dozen doctors are busy, and the architectural structure of the medical hall here is also similar to the hospital of later generations, but it is a few rows of bungalows, which are divided into several areas, there are places for doctors to do things, and some rooms are used as wards, and there is a row of rooms, constantly emitting green smoke, some young men and girls, busy in and out here.
After entering the camp, the medical officer here hurriedly came out to greet him, and the person who presided over the work in this medical hall was a man surnamed Liu who was kidnapped by the sea wolf from the land earlier, this person is said to be good at treating epidemics, and he is a little famous in Fujian, so he was targeted by the sea wolf, and the whole family was kidnapped by the sea wolf overnight, and was transported back to Nanri Island on a ship.
This Lang Zhong, surnamed Liu, saw that it was impossible to go back, so under the soft grinding and hard bubble of Xiaotian, he had to agree to do things for Yu Xiaotian and stay on the territory of the sea wolf to practice medicine.
Yu Xiaotian attaches great importance to these kidnapped Langzhong, and the treatment is also very high, and every family has a special house, and sends people to serve them, and they are supported with good food and drink.
These kidnapped doctors knew that it was impossible to be put back on land, unless the sea wolf was destroyed, they had no chance to leave the sea wolf's control again, so they had to accept their fate and do things for Yu Xiaotian.
Yu Xiaotian first set up a medical center on Nanri Island, and used these Langzhong as medical officers of the medical center, so that they could treat the sea wolf tribe and even the immigrants on the sea wolf territory.
After Yu Xiaotian ordered an invasion of the island of Taiwan and occupied the two places of chicken coop and Tamsui, medical officers also began to be sent to these two places to work, and a medical center was established in each of these places.
In addition, they have a very important job, that is, to train a large number of ambulances for the sea wolves, these ambulances are similar to the health workers of the PLA in later generations, and they must master certain battlefield first aid skills and ordinary headache and brain fever treatment.
Although Yu Xiaotian searched Langzhong everywhere, the doctors of this era were basically inherited from their fathers, relying on the help of the previous generation, and gradually cultivated, and the proportion of the population engaged in this profession in the society was very low, no matter how much he tried to figure out, he couldn't get too much.
Originally, according to Yu Xiaotian's idea, on each big ship, at least one medical officer should act with the ship to ensure the health of the sea wolf tribe on the ship, and provide some medical treatment to the crew at any time.
But this idea was simply not possible, so he had to settle for the next best thing, and find a way to put a hygienist on board the ship who could handle simple illnesses and temporary first aid.
But such an idea, is still not easy to achieve, because the training of ordinary hygienists, for these Langzhong, is not a simple matter, the ancient Langzhong used a lot of recipes, each into a faction, it is difficult to unify, Chinese medicine training is also a very slow thing, so far, the sea wolf has not been able to give each boat with an ambulance or hygienist, Lang Zhong also sometimes cherishes themselves, reluctant to teach the craft to outsiders, and the illiteracy rate of the sea wolf is too high, can not choose too many suitable personnel to learn this craft.
Nowadays, many people have begun to become literate through the centralized adoption of orphans and the eradication of illiteracy among the sea wolf tribes, but this is only the beginning, and it will gradually take effect in the future.
However, Yu Xiaotian still attaches great importance to medical issues, but whenever these doctors have any needs, as long as they are not excessive, he will order the council to find a way to meet them.
When developing the island of Taiwan, Yu Xiaotian paid more attention to the construction of the medical center, and selected a group of Langzhong, who were good at treating various epidemic diseases, to work in Tamsui and chicken coops.
And this Dr. Liu is one of them, because he is good at treating epidemics, his ancestors have passed down some secret recipes, and he is also well-known on land, so Yu Xiaotian reused this Dr. Liu and asked him to be in charge of the work of the medical hall here.
But the medical hall here is not placed in Tamsui City, there is only a small medical hall in Tamsui City, which is responsible for handling and treating some minor diseases, and Yu Xiaotian ordered Fang An, outside Tamsui City, not too far away, to choose this secluded place and build a medical hall.
Dr. Liu took some of his peers to work here.
And this medical hall is essentially an experimental hospital, and these doctors were given a very important task by Yu Xiaotian, that is, to study how to prevent and treat malaria here.
Although there is no large-scale outbreak of malaria in Tamsui and chicken coops, there are still people infected with malaria, and these patients are gathered in this medical hall for these doctors to test drugs.
At this time, there was no cinchona tree in China, and naturally it was not possible to refine quinine, a good medicine for malaria, and it was impossible to develop chloroquine, a drug with a very good effect, through modern technology, so he could only base himself on the local area to find a way to solve this matter.
In his later life, he heard that Chinese medical scientists tried to extract drugs from Artemisia annua, which is ubiquitous in China, at a very early age, and finally extracted an effective drug for the treatment of malaria.
So more than a year ago, he began to buy a large number of dayemisia on land as a reserve resource, and transported it to fresh water for storage, ready for these medical officers to test and use.
Artemisia annua and Artemisia annua are similar in morphology, and it is easy to confuse, and among the ingredients that can treat malaria, only Artemisia annua has it, and there is no such thing in Artemisia annua, so when purchasing, Artemisia annua is also mixed with a considerable batch of Artemisia annua, these things make Dr. Liu really work hard to finally confirm the identity of Artemisia annua, as for Artemisia annua, it can only be used as artemisia grass for smoking mosquitoes by the sea wolf people, and put it into the smoker to smoke and repel mosquitoes.
Today, in this medical hall, there is a large laboratory, which is a place for these doctors to test the treatment of malaria and the medicine.
And some of the unlucky immigrants or sea wolves who got malaria first can only act as guinea pigs for these medical officers, allowing them to do whatever they want.
When Yu Xiaotian arranged for Dr. Liu and them to come here to do this, he clearly told them that Artemisia annua is currently the only important main medicinal material that can be used as an important medicinal material for the treatment of malaria, so they will think of a way around this Artemisia annua, whether it is extraction or other methods, to configure a drug that can effectively treat malaria to prevent and treat malaria.
Dr. Liu had also heard that some famous doctors in history used Artemisia annua to treat malaria, but he didn't have a prescription, and he didn't know how to concoct this kind of thing, so he asked Yu Xiaotian how he knew how to use Artemisia and how to concoct this kind of Artemisia annua to be effective.
Yu Xiaotian then vaguely deduced that when he was a teenager, he used Artemisia annua to cure malaria in Langzhong overseas, but he was not from a medical background, so he didn't know how to concoct it, but he could be sure that this kind of Artemisia annua could indeed effectively treat malaria.
So Dr. Liu took a few colleagues and began to test it here, they used various methods to concoct this kind of yellow artemisia, and then used the concocted drug to test the effect of the drug on some patients who were unfortunately infected with malaria.
Their tests have been going on for almost a year now, and they started this kind of testing when they were on Nanri Island.
Yu Xiaotian came here today to see the results of their experiments, whether there was a breakthrough, even if it achieved a little effect, it was not in vain for his efforts, which would have a great effect on the outbreak of large-scale malaria infection in the future.
If there is a large-scale outbreak of malaria, even if the patients cannot be cured quickly, as long as their lives can be saved, this will play a great role in calming people's hearts, at least reducing people's fear, and stabilizing the people's feelings and military morale, so that a large number of migrants will flee and soldiers will not defect because of the malaria outbreak.
When Yu Xiaotian led people into this secluded medical hall, Dr. Liu hurriedly greeted him when he heard the sound, picked up Yu Xiaotian, and invited him to his study, which is actually to sit in the office and let people hurry up to watch tea.
While drinking tea, Yu Xiaotian asked Dr. Liu about the results of their test here during this time, and Dr. Liu suddenly showed a slightly embarrassed look on his face, and after hesitating for a moment, he said to Xiaotian:
"Qi Yu is a big master, I can't wait, although I have been here for more than half a year, the medicinal material of Artemisia annua has been used quite a lot, and we have also tried various concoction methods, but it has never been able to play a very good effect.
In the past six months, there have been more than 60 patients sent here, but only about 20 people survived in the end, but these people's diseases have not been completely cured! I don't know how many people will survive! I hope you will forgive me! ”
