Chapter 194: Scheme
"Williams, I invite you to the Scientific Research Society and join us in researching ways to deal with this new virus, to free those patients from their suffering, and for more people to survive." George. Professor Potter said sincerely.
"Of course, it's my pleasure." Mu Yang nodded in response.
The atmosphere relaxed, and Professor Potter smiled and said, "I am also a Cambridge medical school graduate, and we are still alumni. ”
Mu Yang said with some embarrassment: "Professor Potter, I haven't graduated yet, and when the war broke out, I ran to join the army." ”
"Fighting for the country is a good example, you can continue your studies, if you are interested in continuing your studies to complete your studies, I can write a letter to the dean of Cambridge Medical School, we are old friends, I think he will still sell me this face." Professor Potter said.
"That's really thanks to Professor Potter, I never stop on my quest for knowledge." Muyang said a very sour word, but it seems that people like to talk like this now.
Professor Potter smiled kindly, for studious young people, he was very willing to see, after all, they are the future of Britain, "I have someone to take you to your office, you have been equipped with assistants, we have a lot of things to do, after all, there are so many patients waiting for our treatment." ”
After Mu Yang nodded in salute, he said goodbye and left.
As the staff came to the door of an office, Muyang opened the door and saw a person sitting inside, an acquaintance.
"Elver, it's you." Mu Yang said in surprise.
"Yes, Mr. Williams, it's me, I'm your assistant now. Actually, I would like to thank you a lot. I was able to come to the Academy of Sciences, which is the temple of science. It's a place I've ever dreamed of. Elver said with some excitement.
Muyang soon stepped into the role and began to join the research team of the Academy of Sciences. Research on the treatment of this new type of flu, of course, is now just a newcomer.
Even if Muyang joins this team, it doesn't mean that he has joined the Academy of Sciences, no, he is just seconded, not an academician, and he has no title, speaking of which he is just a peripheral member now.
Right now. More than a dozen academicians and scholars were huddled together to study and discuss, and Muyang could only sit at the bottom and listen.
"Physical cooling, alcohol, ice will not help, the patient's body temperature will rise quickly, but we have to use this method to temporarily relieve the patient's high fever."
"Traditional treatment methods did not work, and the main symptoms of the patient were high fever, cough, wheezing, muscle aches, pneumonia, and finally the patient had difficulty breathing and suffocated to death. Even more incomprehensible. Adult men between the ages of 20 and 50 are supposed to be the most resistant, but they are more likely to get sick and have the highest mortality rates. It's puzzling. ”
"Here are the statistics of yesterday's hospitals in London, gentlemen, yesterday 218 people died in one day. And in a week, thousands of people have died in Paris. The number of deaths is on the rise. And that's just the number for London alone, and for the whole of the UK. It's chilling to think about. ”
"Gentlemen, we must come up with a workable cure as soon as possible, and now the whole of Britain has fallen into panic, this is a war, a war without gunpowder, but the death toll is no less than that of a big war." Professor Potter said.
There was a brief silence in the room.
"My lab is developing a new drug, and I hope it will be effective, but I need time, at least half a year." An academician shrugged and said helplessly.
"We don't have that much time."
"Continuing with the same treatment, we can try it at a higher dose."
"It's kind of a way to try."
"By the way, we've added new people, why doesn't Mr. Williams give his opinion, he is said to have a successful case of treating this flu disease." An academician with thick eyes said.
"That's exactly what I want to say, Mr. Williams, and tell me what you suggest." Dr. Porter said.
Finally someone thought of Muyang, Muyang stood up very calmly, nodded to everyone present and said: "First of all, we must fully understand the horror of this disease, and we can't treat it as an ordinary cold." ”
"Yes, we're aware of that." Someone said with an excuse.
"I define this flu as a plague. The first way to deal with the plague is to prevent and isolate, and we must come up with a set of methods to alleviate or stop the spread of the plague. ”
Muyang started his own performance.
"First, all places are disinfected, and lime water is a very effective disinfectant. Second, people in epidemic areas must wear masks and wash their hands frequently. Third, all items need to be sterilized at high temperatures, boiled at 60 degrees or more for 30 minutes, and clothes and bedding should be exposed to the sun for at least 48 hours. Fourth, all sick people should be isolated and should not come into contact with other people to reduce cross-infection, and doctors in the ward must wear protective clothing, masks, and gloves to work. Fifth, the house is ventilated and well-lit to maintain a ......"
Muyang said a lot of crackling, and the people who listened were a little flustered.
"Mr. Williams, these are all defensive methods, is there no cure?" Someone asked.
"Dr. Dole, what I'm going to talk about next is about treatment, I don't know if you have any understanding of Chinese medicine in China." After Mu Yang finished speaking, he glanced at everyone.
The crowd looked at each other, some shook their heads, some were silent, and only a handful of two people said they had heard of Chinese medicine, but did not know the specific method.
"The case I successfully treated last time was treated with Chinese medicine, and of course, there are some other methods, which can be regarded as a mixture of our modern medicine and Chinese medicine, and cured Colonel Allen." Muyang said.
"Traditional Chinese medicine, can a black potion made from the bark of grass roots have such an effect?" Some people raised questions, and they were raised by those two academicians who knew a little about Chinese medicine, and others really didn't know about Chinese medicine.
"China has a population of 400 million, 5,000 years of culture, from ancient times to the present, the kind of grass root bark is used to treat diseases, sometimes the effect is also very good, of course, I am not saying that Chinese medicine is better than our Western medicine, but they have different medical theories and methods from us, can open up our broader thinking, as for the effect, why don't we try it." Muyang said.
Many people couldn't help but nod their heads after listening to Muyang's statement.
Muyang was secretly happy in his heart, and his first step had some effect.
In this world, he doesn't know whether Chinese medicine can be famous, but he is confident that Europeans can re-understand Chinese medicine, which is not a witch doctor, but can also cure diseases and save people. (To be continued......)
