Chapter 204: Drug Rehabilitation
Yamada Shaozo wanted to introduce the clinical manifestations of morphine addiction in detail, but when he saw Chen Qiang's expression, he knew that there was no need for this, and Chen Qiang was obviously aware of the problem.
"Mr. Chen, it seems that you are very aware of your physical condition." Yamada Shaoza's face showed a smug color.
Chen Qiang didn't ask how Yamada Shaozuo drugged himself, he had already guessed that the problem must be with Dr. Hans. Since Chen Qiang came to Rabe's house, it has been Dr. Hans who has been responsible for treating Chen Qiang, and Chen Qiang has been using the medicine prescribed by Dr. Hans, if anyone can make Chen Qiang addicted to morphine, it must be Dr. Hans.
At this time, Yamada Shaozuo pointed to the box with morphine injections, and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, I know that these medicines can relieve your pain and help you recover as soon as possible, so I specially sent you some, morphine is a military controlled product, and it is difficult to find it on the market, but this thing, our imperial army has." So as long as Mr. Chen cooperates with the Imperial Army, he can have as much morphine as he wants. β
"I don't need this, you better take it back!" Chen Qiang said categorically.
Yamada Shaozuo was not annoyed by Chen Qiang's refusal, he looked at Chen Qiang's gaze, more like a hunter looking at the prey that fell into the trap, only to hear him say: "Mr. Chen, don't be in a hurry to refuse, you can think about it slowly, I believe Mr. Chen will figure it out." β
After Yamada Shaozuo finished speaking, he stood up, bowed slightly to Chen Qiang and Rabe, and continued: "Two gentlemen, I will leave first, and I will visit Mr. Chen another day!" β
After Yamada Shaoza finished speaking, he turned around and left, but he left it on the table.
Even if Chen Qiang resolutely rejected Yamada Shaozuo, Yamada Shaozuo still didn't take the box of morphine, Yamada Shaozo knew that this box of morphine was left here, which was a temptation to Chen Qiang, and when Chen Qiang couldn't stand the drug addiction, maybe he couldn't help but use this box of morphine. And drug use, as long as there is a first time, there will be a second and third time, once Chen Qiang falls in, then he will inevitably be at the mercy of the Japanese.
After all, morphine is a military supply, and in this Nanjing city, only the Japanese can provide morphine for Chen Qiang.
β¦β¦
After Yamada Shaozo left, Chen Qiang immediately called Dr. Hans and asked what was going on.
"You gave me morphine?" Chen Qiang asked.
Dr. Hans did not deny it, but nodded: "Yes, some were used. β
"Did the Japanese let you use it?" Chen Qiang then asked.
"The Japanese have provided me with a lot of medicines, and most of the medicines you use these days are given by the Japanese." Hans then explained: "Not long ago, a Japanese soldier named Yamada approached me and said that he was willing to provide me with medicine to help Mr. Chen recover. β
"And that includes morphine?" Chen Qiang then asked.
Dr. Hans nodded, and continued, "Your injuries will have sequelae, and I don't know how long this will last. I suspect that some shrapnel may have been left in your body and not completely removed, or that some tissue in your body had been destroyed. You need some analgesics, and in your current situation, relying on aspirin alone has a very limited effect, and it just so happens that the Japanese provided me with morphine, so I gave you a little morphine, which will help you relieve or eliminate the sequelae. In Nanjing, morphine is something that money can't buy, it's a military supply, and only the Japanese can provide it. β
"How can you give me morphine, that stuff is addictive!" Chen Qiang said angrily.
"Mr. Chen, you can rest assured, I strictly controlled the dosage when I used your medicine, and you should not be addicted to morphine." Dr. Hans spoke.
"But I now have the physiology of morphine addiction." Chen Qiang said.
"What? No way. At the dose I'm giving you, it shouldn't be enough to be addictive. Dr. Hans paused, then continued: "I have a lot of experience with the dosage of morphine, and I can assure you that the dosage I give you is definitely not enough to be addictive!" β
Dr. Hans's sworn appearance did not look like he was lying, and at this time, Chen Qiang suddenly had a guess that the problem was not with Dr. Hans, and his control of the dose may be no problem, but the problem was the morphine provided by the Japanese.
After thinking about it carefully, Chen Qiang felt that he couldn't blame Dr. Hans for this matter.
Although doctors in this era knew that morphine would be addictive, their awareness of the dangers of morphine addiction was far less clear and unambiguous than that of later generations. Moreover, in China at that time, it was legal to open large tobacco pipes, opium was cultivated all over the country, and even many local warlords used opium as a military salary to pay soldiers.
Moreover, these days, Dr. Hans has also done his best to save Chen Qiang, and if it were not for Dr. Hans's treatment, Chen Qiang would not have recovered so quickly.
And Chen Qiang also knows that as a doctor, he must hope that his patients can recover as soon as possible.
For example, in later generations, when encountering some cases of poor treatment effect, or encountering some medical accidents, whether it is the media or the public, almost all blame the doctors, doctors use drugs indiscriminately, have no medical ethics, spend money to cure diseases, and good people go to the hospital to be cured, etc., there are many such remarks.
However, if a person is really good, why go to the hospital?
In fact, apart from the patient himself, the person who likes the patient's recovery the most should be his attending physician. Not to mention, from the perspective of work alone, everyone wants to do their job well, and they all hope that there will be no mistakes in their work. It is the doctor's job to treat the disease and save people, so the doctor definitely does not want to be unable to cure the patient, and does not want to have a medical accident, because if the patient is not cured, it is equivalent to the doctor's work is not done well, and if there is a medical accident, there is a mistake in the doctor's work.
Other industries say, I want to do my essential job well, and people believe it. But when the doctor said that I wanted to do my job well, people were questioning the doctor's medical ethics, and more people even felt that the doctor was scavenging money from me, not treating me!
Chen Qiang's thinking is not so narrow-minded, he believes that every doctor hopes that he can cure the disease with medicine, and hopes that his patients can recover as soon as possible. So at this moment, Chen Qiang still chose to believe Dr. Hans.
Chen Qiang didn't blame Dr. Hans, he opened his mouth and asked, "Dr. Hans, my body has already shown symptoms of morphine addiction, so I have to quit morphine, is there anything you can do?" β
"I can prescribe you some aspirin." Dr. Hans spoke.
"Is there any other way?" Chen Qiang then asked.
Dr. Hans fell silent, apparently he had no better idea.
"Okay, aspirin is aspirin!" Chen Qiang had no choice but to nod and agree.
Since Bayer in Germany launched aspirin on a large scale, aspirin has become a "panacea" for all diseases. Under the medical conditions at that time, people's understanding of many diseases was not sufficient, and aspirin, which could relieve pain, could relieve the physiological pain of most diseases, so in that era, no matter what the disease, first came aspirin.
And Chen Qiang also knows that there are only two kinds of detoxification drugs in later generations, one is a drug substitute, such as opioids, which are actually a kind of drugs at all, which are harmful to the human body, but the use of opioid detoxification is a very effective way to detoxify, and the side effects are small, and the harm to the human body is smaller.
The second is non-substitution medicine, which is actually a powerful analgesic in nature, and even contains some anesthetic ingredients, to put it bluntly, to relieve the physical pain caused by drug addiction. However, the side effects of this powerful analgesic are relatively large, and although many drugs can successfully treat drug addiction, because of the harm to the human body, the health authorities of various countries have even banned the production of some such drugs.
In the thirties, there were no two kinds of detoxification drugs, except for aspirin, Chen Qiang could only choose physical resistance to quit morphine!
β¦β¦
Chen Qiang locked himself in his room, curled up in bed, and endured the pain of the onset of drug addiction.
The box of morphine sent by Yamada Shaozo was still in Rabe's home, and Chen Qiang wanted to get the box of morphine countless times, but every time Chen Qiang abandoned this idea.
"Hold on, I can hold back!" Chen Qiang kept saying to himself in his heart.
Whenever Chen Qiang's will is about to collapse, Chen Qiang will think about those warriors who are on the front line and fighting bloodily against the Japanese army, they are surrounding their homes with their lives and defending the country and the nation with their lives!
"What is this pain I have suffered compared to those fearless warriors! Endure! β
Chen Qiang gritted his teeth, he remembered the Berlin Olympics two years ago, but several boxers came to mind.
At that time, the Chinese Olympic delegation sent four athletes to compete in the Olympics, and Wang Runlan and Jin Guidi had already died last year. The battle on Taierzhuang's side should also start, and Jin Gui may have been martyred......"
Thinking of this, Chen Qiang's eyes couldn't help but moisten.
"Hold on, I must hold back! The athletes who participated in the Olympics with me gave their lives to fight the invaders, and I can't hold back, I can't be controlled by the Japanese, and even if I die, I can't become a traitor! β
The belief in his mind and the physical pain collided again and again, and every minute and second was an unbearable torment for Chen Qiang.
But Chen Qiang is still enduring strongly, because he always has an attachment in his heart, an attachment as a Chinese!
β¦β¦
At this time, Germany was basking in the joy of national rejuvenation.
Not long ago, Germany annexed Austria and achieved the German-Austrian merger.
Austria is strategically important in the heart of Europe, and the annexation of Austria by Germany is equivalent to a direct border with Italy, and the two Axis powers are finally connected. At the same time, by annexing Austria, Germany increased its economic and military strength and strategic position, and could realize its war plans more unscrupulously in the future.
However, Britain, France, and the United States, after expressing their protests, recognized Germany's annexation of Austria and changed their embassies in Austria to consulates in Vienna.
This also put an atmosphere of victory in Germany from top to bottom, and almost everyone sang the praises of the greatness of the German FΓΌhrer.
Germany was not satisfied with one Austria, and then the Germans turned their attention to another neighbor, Czechoslovakia.
It is also because in recent times, Germany has been busy annexing Austria, so it has not paid attention to the situation in the Far East. Rabe's telegram to Germany was also forgotten in the corner.
Now that Germany had completed the annexation of Austria and the Germans had some energy to pay attention to the situation in the Far East, Rabe's telegram back to Berlin had finally entered the attention of the German leadership.
β¦β¦
In that secret laboratory on the outskirts of Berlin, the general was listening to Professor Arnim's report on the "Super Soldier" program.
"General, this is our latest research, we selected a soldier with very good physical fitness, took his blood, and injected it into another soldier who was half physically fit, and then we found that this soldier ran faster than before." Professor Arnim opened his mouth.
"Oh? So, if the blood of a strong person is transfused into the body of an ordinary person, then the average person will become stronger? The general asked.
"Not only that, but we transfused the blood of a strong soldier into another strong soldier, and we found that the soldier who was transfused with blood also ran faster! This shows that it is the blood of a strong man that works. Professor Arnim began.
The general nodded thoughtfully, for him, the result of such an experiment was obviously an important step forward in the "Super Soldier" program.
If Chen Qiang was here, he would definitely burst out laughing, isn't this kind of blood transfusion the "blood red blood cell retransfusion technology" of later generations!
Red blood cell retransfusion technology uses allogeneic isotype transfusion to increase the number of red blood cells in a short period of time, thereby enhancing the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood. The body's blood oxygen-carrying capacity has improved, and the exercise ability will naturally improve, at least running faster. In the future, this technology will also be called "blood doping", and at the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games, it was banned by the International Olympic Committee, and later doping blood tests will also test this item.
However, in 1938, scientists' understanding of blood was still relatively primitive, and they did not understand such a thing as the oxygen-carrying capacity of blood, so simply looking at the experimental results, Professor Arnim believed that the blood of strong soldiers played a role.
I only heard Professor Anim continue: "General, I think the next step of research should be on blood, maybe in the blood of strong people, there is a substance that can make them stronger, and ordinary people can also become strong as long as they inject this substance." β
The general nodded approvingly: "Professor Anim, I am very satisfied with the progress of your research, and I hope that under your leadership, our 'Super Soldier' program can make a breakthrough as soon as possible!" β
"Thank you, General, my team and I will definitely work hard." Professor Arnim paused, then continued, "It's just that we need more blood from stronger soldiers now to complete the rest of our research. β
"No problem, I will select the strongest fighters in the army and let them come to you to draw blood." The general spoke.
"If only that Chinese were still there, his physical fitness is so good, maybe from his blood, it can be easier to refine the kind of substance that can make people stronger." Professor Arnim said casually.
Hearing this, the general on the other side suddenly remembered a piece of information he had seen a few days ago, which was sent by Rabe from China, which said that Chen Qiang was taking refuge in Rabe's home.
As if he had an idea, the general said, "Maybe we really have a way to bring that Chinese to Berlin now." β
