Then, he turned to Zuo Li and a few other Chinese medicine practitioners and said, "You are Chinese medicine, Chinese herbal medicine is your weapon, I studied Western medicine, I don't know if the herbs in this part of Africa are the same as those in China?" There are very few Chinese herbal medicine stores in the local area, and it is difficult to buy them. I don't know if there are any Chinese medicinal herbs in the medicine you brought this time. ”

Zuo Li said: "We have brought all the commonly used Chinese medicine decoction pieces, and many of them are Chinese patent medicines. ”

"That's good, but it's always shipped from China, and the cost is too high, so you still have to work hard to use local herbs. Because there are so many patients, Western medicine can be obtained from many sources. Traditional Chinese medicine can basically only be shipped from China, and it is necessary to use too much each time, and sometimes it may not be able to catch up. Therefore, the most important thing for you is to control the use and try to give it to the patients who need it most. If Western medicine can be used to treat it, although in terms of efficacy results, Chinese medicine seems to have unique advantages. ”

He pointed to an old man sitting next to him: "This is Doctor Hua, he has practiced medicine in West Africa for more than 20 years, and he is a well-known old Chinese medicine doctor in West Africa. He used traditional Chinese medicine to treat the local people, which had a very good effect, which is an aspect that has attracted the attention of the World Health Organization. Of course, in addition to him, there are many Chinese Chinese medicine practitioners who also use Chinese medicine to treat local people's diseases, and Dr. Hua is one of them. Next, I would like to ask him to introduce the treatment of diseases in the local area by TCM, especially for the treatment of the Ebola virus. ”

Dr. Hua looked a little shy, scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Hello experts! I didn't actually read any books, I was a family Chinese medicine tradition, and I learned medicine from my father, so I couldn't get on the stage and couldn't explain any theories. It's just that I've been here in West Africa for a long time, and I've been here with my dad since I was a kid. He was in business, he opened a small pharmacy to treat others, and then the epidemic broke out, and he cured many people, but in the end he also contracted the disease, and he could cure others but not himself. The treatment plan I have introduced is just for your reference. ”

As he spoke, he handed out a stack of printed paper in his hand to the crowd, and each of them got one. Most of the people here are Western doctors, and although they don't understand Chinese medicine, they also take it to hear what is going on.

Zuo Li glanced at a few prescriptions, all of which were commonly used to treat temperature diseases. However, the names of some of these medicines are unknown to him, and they are presumably endemic to the region.

Dr. Hua said: "You may have noticed that there are some medicines in the prescription that you are not very familiar with. These medicines are not our traditional Chinese medicine, but the local medicine here in West Africa, which my father summed up after decades of practicing medicine, because the traditional Chinese medicine here is very difficult to buy, and it is very expensive to ship from China, even more expensive than Western medicine. ”

"The reason why traditional Chinese medicine has a strong vitality is that the cost is cheap. If Chinese medicine is too expensive, of course, patients may not choose Chinese medicine. So forced my dad to try to find alternative medicinal materials here, fortunately, many herbs in the world are the same, after his old man Shennong tasted a hundred herbs like the effort, he really let him find dozens of local alternative medicinal materials, but also figured out its medicinal properties and medicinal effects, so we can use local medicinal materials we choose to use local medicinal materials for treatment. ”

"The effect of local medicinal materials is still okay, especially when dealing with mild Ebola virus symptoms, but for severe and critical Ebola patients, it has no effect, even if Chinese herbal medicine is used, because this disease is too difficult to treat, and my father can't cure his own Ebola hemorrhagic fever, which can be seen."

"I was also invited to join this medical team to treat Ebola hemorrhagic fever with everyone, and I lived in our camp, and I had a small Chinese medicine warehouse in my dormitory, many of which were local alternatives, and I also took some videos of the wild state of the herbs, which are more common in the local area, including herbs, animals and minerals, but the locals do not use them as medicine."

"Another point that needs to be noted is that these medicinal materials are only produced locally, not in our country, so they are not included in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia in China, but only some local medicines determined by my father and my years of experience in practicing medicine. If you are worried about its efficacy and safety, then it is best not to use it, I am just a suggestion, please forgive me for saying something wrong. ”

The other Chinese medicine practitioners were silent, only Zuo Li said: "There is a saying that the general will not be subject to the orders of the foreign monarch." We are all thousands of miles away, so there is no need to consider the requirements of the domestic pharmacopoeia for medication, and adapt measures to local conditions. Many medicinal herbs cannot be found here, so you can only use local medicinal herbs, which have been proven to be effective in practice, so why not use them? Thank you so much, Dr. Hua, for sharing these important resources with us. ”

Most of the other TCM physicians are in their forties and fifties, only Zuo Li is the youngest, but he was the first to express his support, and the other doctors also smiled, but basically did not nod in agreement.

Because these old Chinese medicine doctors are more conceited, most of them have their own ideas in their hearts, unlike Zuo Li, who is a fledgling and is not afraid of tigers, they are more cautious and will not use the medicine they don't master easily.

After the meeting, Zuo Li and a few other Chinese medicine doctors went to Dr. Hua's tent to see the herbs, and they were still curious about what the local herbs looked like.

Zuo Li inquired very carefully about the medicinal properties and efficacy of these medicines, especially the dosage. Dr. Hua can be said to know everything, and he patiently answered everything.

But Zuo Li found that except for his hard work, the other Chinese medicine practitioners were just watching the excitement and didn't pay much attention. After all, they don't know about these medicinal materials, and they really don't dare to use them indiscriminately, so they don't bother to remember, anyway, before each Chinese medicine practitioner came out this time, the hospital where they were located gave a certain amount of Chinese herbal medicine decoction pieces and brought them immediately, which was enough for a period of time, and they didn't have to worry about myrrh.

The camp canteen is open and eats buffets.

After Yao Mingming and Meng Xin had a meal, they sneaked around and didn't know where to go. Zuo Li and Chen Tianming felt that it was too hot in the cafeteria, so they came out with a plate and wanted to find a cool place to sit.

At this moment, I suddenly heard someone behind me shouting, "Doctor Zuo! ”

Hearing this voice very familiar, Zuo Li hurriedly turned his head to take a look, and couldn't help but be surprised. It turned out that the one standing behind him was the Korean doctor Kim Yu-hee, who had not been separated for a long time, looking at him with a smile.

Zuo Li said in surprise: "Oh, it's you, Dr. Jin, this is thousands of miles away, I didn't expect to see you here, and you also joined the United Nations medical rescue team this time?" ”

Jin Yuji put her hands behind her back, looked at him with a smile, nodded and said, "Yes!" The WHO also sent us an invitation to South Korea, asking us to send a Korean medicine to participate in the international rescue team, saying that Chinese medicine and Korean medicine have a miraculous effect on the treatment of the Ebola virus, so they sent me. I estimated that I might send you too, so I inquired as soon as I arrived, and today I finally inquired, and sure enough, it was you, so I came, and I only arrived two days before you. ”

"Why don't you tell me on WeChat? Want to surprise? ”

"Not anymore," Jin Yuji said with some trepidation, "I'm not sure if you will come, if you don't come, I told you, you may worry about me, then it will not be good." I didn't expect you to really come, just like you said on WeChat last time, as long as there is fate, you can always meet! ”
