Chapter 82 There is a way, but you have to add money
In the name of a person, Cheng Nuoduo gave some food to the middle-aged people, but there was not too much, who came here to flee, and there was no special situation, and the more given would only play a negative role in the disaster relief operation.
However, the middle-aged man inadvertently mentioned the information, which attracted Cheng Nuo's attention, and post-disaster prevention and control is particularly important. Especially after an earthquake or flood, the problem will be more serious, and there will often be epidemics or outbreaks of infectious diseases in the disaster area, making "there must be an epidemic after a major disaster" almost a terrifying and inevitable rule.
Although it is only a local "small disaster", there are thousands of people behind it, and if you don't pay attention to it, it will cause a big mess.
Calling Zhang Jian, the group began to investigate in the disaster area.
It's okay not to investigate, but the survey is full of problems, and there are more or less intestinal diseases, and the reason is that everyone does not pay attention to hygiene, and some things that are considered to be common sense of hygiene in the eyes of future generations, and the victims of the disaster are not aware of this.
Seeing Cheng Nuo's brows tightened, Zhang Jian knew that he had seen some doorways, so he said loudly: "Zhiyuan, we have gone all the way, more than half of our compatriots have developed diseases, the problem is still very serious, if you know something, you can tell me directly."
When it comes to medicine, Cheng Nuo decided to wait for professionals to come and see what people say, and he will make additions after listening to them, and the prevention and control measures will be more scientific.
"I do have some immature thoughts in my heart, but I'm not good at medicine, it's important to treat diseases, so let's invite the doctor first."
Zhang Jian stopped talking and ordered his subordinates to ask for a doctor, but what he didn't expect was that it was an old pedant.
Looking at the medical book, the patient's face twitched every time he turned it, and in the end, there was no trace of blood on the patient's face, and he looked at the sky in a daze, I am afraid that he had accepted his "fate".
Cheng Nuo was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart that if he remembered correctly, this patient was just a little diarrhea, so it wouldn't be like this.
Under the eyes of everyone, the old pedant finally closed the book and sighed.
"Fortunately, I don't disgrace my life, everyone, I can see the illness."
"Let's talk about it, sir, what's wrong with my old man, since last night, he has been vomiting and diarrhea, eating as much as he vomits, and all he spits out is yellow water, and he has to diarrhea, and there is only one skin left on his body."
"Dad, you can't go, our family will be scattered if you leave, hurry up and tell me where you hid all your money."
"Daddy, don't go, woo......"
Voices of concern, noise, and cries mingled, and the whole room boiled like boiling water.
Zhang Jian couldn't stand it anymore, picked up the crutches and knocked on the table hard, the scene calmed down instantly, and after snorting coldly, he asked the old gentleman:
"Sir, what is wrong with this person lying on the bed, and can he be saved? We have many similar patients here, and I will thank you for your trouble, and I will thank you afterwards."
"It's not a big deal to be sick." The old scholar stroked his beard and said slowly, "It is caused by the unhealthy qi of the four seasons in nature, mixed with the qi of sickness, corpse and other unclean qi on the ground, and the epidemic qi is formed. ….
Originally, when they heard the first half of the sentence, most of the people present breathed a sigh of relief, but after the second half of the sentence, they felt that even if this person could live, it would be very difficult.
Zhang Jian recited it silently in his heart several times, but he didn't taste anything, and asked, "What are the internal and external causes?"
This time, the old scholar didn't hurry to reply, and glanced at the apprentice on the side, who immediately understood, handed over the cigarette gun he was holding and lit it for him.
The old scholar drooped his eyelids, took a few puffs to see that the score was almost done, and said, "The internal cause is the lack of righteousness of the human body itself caused by natural disasters or self-indulgence."
"The external cause is the accumulation and fumigation of the epidemic qi caused by various reasons in the outside world, and people feel the disease in it, and their infection is also caused by qi."
"Is there a cure for it?"
The old pedant stopped talking, glanced at Zhang Jian obliquely, and continued to smoke the cigarette gun.
The meaning is obvious, you have to give money.
Rao is Zhang Jian is well-informed, and he has never seen such a shameless old thing, but thanks to his high cultivation, he can't afford to deal with this old pedant who is a few decades younger than him, so he took out the consultation fee prepared in advance.
I didn't rush to take it, but put it on the table, and the meaning was obvious: if the countermeasures are said, the money will be yours.
Seeing this, the old scholar immediately became much more neat, stuffed the cigarette gun to the apprentice, and immediately picked up the brush and began to write on the paper.
Taking advantage of this time, Cheng Nuo also quietly observed in the back.
The above content is roughly as follows: the response to the epidemic is centered on nourishing the inside and avoiding the outside, that is, on the one hand, it emphasizes the consolidation of the foundation, advocates tranquility and restlessness, and austerity to enhance the physique, consolidate the righteousness, so that external evil cannot invade; On the other hand, he advocated the use of evasion, incense, and the use of anti-plague pills to avoid or suppress the epidemic qi and make oneself not touched by it.
After reading it, Cheng Nuo always felt weird, he couldn't say that it was wrong, and he was also involved in prevention and control, and even gave specific measures. But to say that he is right, he has a clear conscience, and if he really does what he says, at least a few more groups of people will die, which are basically relatively negative and introverted personal behaviors.
In fact, it is not to blame this old pedant, the feudal society and the government in the health prevention and control, both lack of institutional regulations, and rarely take compulsory measures for this purpose, it is difficult to directly intervene in the people's bodies on this matter, and forcibly restrict certain physical behaviors of the people.
Liu Kui, a famous thermologist during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, once commented on this: "The plague is the evil spirit of heaven and earth, and if the human body is righteous and solid, the evil cannot be done, so it is avoided in abstinence and hard work, and the mother still endures hunger to suffer its anger."
Under the influence of this long-standing idea of "not from time to time", after the 8.5 earthquake in Gongzhou, Zhengcheng Province, Lu Province in 1668, a plague occurred, and even more people died from the disease than from the earthquake.
But having said that, before the advent of antibiotics, although the West had created the theory of bacteria, Western medicine did not have an advantage over traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of epidemic diseases, especially the aforementioned anti-plague pill, which played a unique role.
So after politely sending the old pedant away, Zhang Jian found a place where no one was around and said to Cheng Nuo: "A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way, although the old gentleman is materialistic, but he can still see some skills as soon as he makes a move, with this good prescription, the environment here will be very different." ….
While affirming its efficacy, Cheng Nuo also reminded: "Mr. Zhang's prescription seems to be unique, but Mr. Zhang, we must also understand the effectiveness and necessity of quarantine."
After a pause, Cheng Nuo said: "The tragic situation of the Gengxu plague is vivid for us."
"Sss Zhang Jian took a breath of cold air, and instantly felt that the sunshine was also much miserable, with a solemn look in his eyes: "Zhiyuan, you reminded me right, let me think about it again."
1910 is the year of Gengxu in the lunar calendar, so the plague that broke out that year is called Gengxu plague. At that time, the source of the plague was the Russian Far East, and then spread to Manchuria in China, and the infected people brought the plague to Kazakhstan and the surrounding areas by train and other means of transportation, forming a larger source of plague spread, which not only raged in the entire Northeast region, but also affected Zhili and Lu provinces, and was not completely eradicated until the beginning of April of the following year.
The whole process caused more than 60,000 deaths, and masks were invented during this period.
It was precisely because of the extremely contagious and almost 100% fatality rate of the plague at that time that Western medicine began to rise in China with the help of modern scientific instruments such as microscopes, so that some people in the society began to notice the shortcomings of Chinese medicine in prevention and control.
Seeing this, Cheng Nuo no longer concealed his strength, picked up the pen and copied some of the health knowledge of later generations.
For example, the water for drinking water is uniformly arranged, the victims are required to prohibit drinking raw water and drink it only after boiling, put food in a dry and ventilated place, set up temporary toilets and build sheds and covers, prevent water pollution caused by rainwater flushing and overflow, isolate patients who are already sick, and report unwell symptoms in time.
Including respiratory tract infectious diseases, digestive tract infectious diseases, skin diseases, natural epidemic diseases, and insect-borne infectious diseases, they were all mentioned to a greater or lesser extent, and the leaflets distributed were all in the vernacular, and they were specially read several times when they were posted.
However, these measures were resisted and resisted by the people to varying degrees at the beginning, but fortunately, there were Zhang Jian
Support, both soft and hard are still being implemented, and the effect is improving step by step.
In order to reduce the people's resistance, Cheng Nuo simply became a director, moved what he learned in Shanghai to Tongzhou, found a few young people with flexible minds, and made a one-act drama, the main content is to pay attention to hygiene, and made up a few sentences in the middle in order to deepen the impression:
"Winter goes to spring and magnolia incense,
Gastrointestinal diseases are suffering,
The fierceness is the most rampant,
Red and white adhesions break the intestines,
Pain in the belly from the feeling of cold and heat,
Groggy and lying in bed,
......
Sick family members should be isolated,
Stool disinfection is not forgettable,
Lime must be added to the dung,
The bacteria die instantly."
For this era when entertainment life is extremely expensive, it is relatively normal for dramas to be popular, but what is surprising is that Shunkou Xi became popular first, catchy and popular science interest, and was well received, and in the end it was even published in full text on the "Declaration", which became popular with everyone.
In a sense, it also promoted the popularity of vernacular literature, which is stronger than the vernacular poetry of some literati.
Slowly, the epidemic was brought under control, but when it came to dealing with these already sick victims, everyone here was helpless, and no one had any experience in how to isolate them and how to deal with them after isolation.
After discussing with Zhang Jian, he decided to send a telegram to Shanghai, asking the doctors of the Chinese Medical Association to come and treat the disease and see if they had any particularly good solutions.
After receiving the reply, the Chinese Medical Association was also very simple, and immediately prepared to send several experts with rich experience in prevention and control, headed by Wu Liande.
