After saying goodbye to the man, Janen Winsted and his men asked all the survivors in the building,

She became resolute, and when she encountered someone who did not cooperate, she asked the soldiers to threaten her, and finally got the answer she craved the most-

Sure enough, all of these survivors, without exception, had a history of cowpox.

After leaving the residential building, the mayor sent someone to escort them back to the Plague Doctor's temporary office headquarters, and Janine disbanded the group, leaving only one of her most trusted students.

"Doctor Dale, come with me, I have something very important to talk to you about."

They entered the second-floor lab together, and Janine Winsted closed the door, and she began to recall the lessons she had taken, and then asked:

"Dale, did you read that classic case when you were at Imperial Medical College, which is the chapter in the second semester textbook titled 'Fighting Poison with Poison'."

"You have to read it, it's one of the key topics of the medical licensing exam, and I can repeat it to you now."

"Very good, look, retell a synopsis and go to school"

In 1671, Wagner Jagre, a famous physician in the Duchy of Valstad, discovered that patients with willow disease would recover spontaneously after a high fever, and he believed that the pathogen of willow disease could not survive in a host with high body temperature.

So the master had a whim, and he came up with a very imaginative and dangerous and bold plan, that is, to use the side effects of other diseases to fight poison with poison, so that the patient could have a high fever and treat the stubborn disease of flower willow disease.

He was a resolute man who thought of it and started to act, and he submitted this bold idea to the international medical institution, and because of the need for human experiments, he hoped to recruit volunteers to be white mice.

It's a pity that other experts and professors think that he is crazy, and it is obviously against human ethics to deliberately infect people, and no one will be stupid enough to be this white rat.

Just when all plans were about to run aground, Master Wagner Jagre showed the noblest virtue of the Valstadians, which is the spirit of sacrifice! He decided to play the white mouse himself!

The greatest scene in the history of human medicine has appeared,

Master Wagner entered the institute's most dangerous laboratory, where he removed a test tube containing a sample of the willow disease lesion from the ice cellar, and then cut open the skin to allow the deadly lesion to come into contact with his own blood.

He wrote a suicide note, and then there was a tormented wait, and halfway through it, he had the first symptoms of willow disease, and severe erosions began to appear in the affected area.

He dragged his weak body into the ward, found a malaria patient, and with the consent of the other party, took the sick man's blood and immediately injected himself, the malaria man was so frightened that he thought he had met a madman, and immediately asked for a transfer.

Later, Master Wagner succeeded in contracting himself with malaria, and he developed a high fever, feeling hot and cold all over his body, and had serious complications including hepatosplenomegaly.

Suffering from two deadly infections brought the master of medicine to his death, and after another one, a miracle occurred.

The symptoms of Wagner's willow disease began to improve rapidly, and the erosion of the body organs began to scab and recover.

Through this dangerous experiment, Master Wagner came to the final conclusion that because the pathogen of willow disease cannot survive in a high temperature environment, and the high fever caused by the second stage of malaria just creates this high temperature environment and kills the willow disease in his body.

This world is so wonderful, the wicked still need the wicked to grind, and deadly infectious diseases can also be restrained by each other.

After that, Master Wagner cured his malaria by taking herbal powders, and wrote a medical paper entitled "Fighting Poison with Poison: Fighting Flower Willow Disease with Malaria", and sent the article to the International Medical Organization, which was published in the medical journal "The Lancet" in No. 3 in 1671, and soon attracted wide attention from experts around the world.

After that, this new concept of therapy was popularized in civilized countries all over the world,

Rhizosis has gone from being an incurable disease to a disease that can be quickly cured, with about one of the world's deaths per year from complications in the terminal stages of the disease, a number that has plummeted to 2,000 within a few years after the new treatment became widespread, and more importantly, the case has successfully promoted the development of modern medicine.

The medical master Wagner Jagre left a strong mark in history, not only because of his talent and hard work, but also because of his spirit of sacrificing himself and dedicating himself to all mankind. ”

Dr. Dale recounted the passage from the medical textbook in an impassioned tone, and then added:

"Master Wagner Jagre is my countryman and the reason why I decided to study medicine back then, I want to be as great as him!"

Just as Dr. Dale was dreaming of his idol, he was shocked by the fact that his mentor, Lady Janen Winstead, took off her beak mask and said:

"Dale, my good student, how long have you been a graduate student under me?"

"It's been two years, my lordship...... Wait a minute...... Why take off the mask? What are you...... Crazy? This laboratory is home to dozens of corpses of plague patients, so put on your masks! If you come into direct contact with the air like this, you will become infected! ”

Jian Ning's long red hair hung down to her shoulders, she raised her head and began to breathe deeply:

"Wearing this broken mask, suffocating to death, now I can finally breathe. Dale, I'll give you a mission, you can go to the veterinary research institute in Xicheng District later, and help me find a cow with cowpox to bring over, this is a pass for the city. ”

"What are you doing here?" Dale took the pass, stunned for a few seconds, and suddenly, he understood what his mentor wanted to do, and said tremblingly:

"My old man! What are you...... To imitate the deeds of Master Wagner? Cowpox to fight the plague? Do you want to use yourself as a white pig? ”

Jian Ning didn't speak, just nodded slightly, which was a tacit acquiescence, because of the hard work all day, she looked a little haggard, but after all, she was a beauty, her smile was still sweet, exuding the unique charm of a mature woman.

Dale hugged his mentor and sobbed:

"I don't agree with you doing this! Our research is progressing step by step, and there is no need to sacrifice anything! ”

Jian Ning smiled bitterly:

"My good student, stop deceiving yourself, you know, there is no point in continuing to study, even if the antidote is found after countless experiments, but with the current rate of infection and mortality, when the citizens of the whole city are dead, what is the point of the belated antidote?"

Dale's tears had formed a mist on the lenses of his mask, and the face of the mentor was blurred in his eyes:

"Even if someone had to make a sacrifice, it would be up to me, the student, to bear it!

Teacher Jian Ning, you...... You're too important to the Empire, put on your mask and let us young people do it! Let me! He began to tear at his beak mask, trying to remove it.

Janine hugged his student and stopped him:

"Calm down, young man, you are the hope of Valsta's medical community, and fresh blood is the most important thing.

This is my own decision, for the sake of the 350,000 Valstad compatriots in this city, I am willing to be this white rat!

Dale, the reason I'm telling you this separately is because you're my most trusted student,

If the experiment fails and I die, then you will take my place and take over the epidemic prevention work in this city.

Just do your best, remember, if you can't find a specific medicine in the end, at least give the dying patient a cup of strong analgesics, so that they can suffer less when they leave, promise me, Dale, this is the only thing the teacher asks of you. ”

"I ...... I promise you! I admire you the most...... Teacher Jian Ning...... You'll be fine! Good people like you will live a long life! ”

"Hey, borrow your good words! The experiment will be a success. ”

Jian Ning walked to the side of the test bench and said, "I want to make sure that I am infected, and now that the experiment has officially begun, the first step is to open the gates of hell." ”

Then, she hinged up the body of a plague-infected person,

The deceased was about ten years old, a lovely blonde boy, the body was still fresh, it looked as if he was asleep, the boy had died of illness just two hours earlier, and the plague source in his body was still alive.

"I'm sorry, guy, it's all my fault, not only did I fail to save you, but I also destroyed your body, and now I'm going to borrow your blood to complete the experiment, if you succeed, you'll be a hero."

Janen Winstede picked up a sharp scalpel from the metal tray and made a slight cut in her arm, blood gushing out and dripping down her white arm onto the test bench.

Then she sliced through the cold skin of the corpse and pressed her arm against it, watching as the blood of the plague spill soaked her wounds.

She expertly wrapped her arm in bandages, then looked at her pocket watch, took out her notebook and wrote:

"It's December 20, 1723, at 16:37 p.m., and every four hours after that I've recorded my progress."
