Chapter 848: The Great Plague

Qin Ning looked at the seriously ill patient, turned back to the chief medical officer and said, "It's too late, they can't afford to wait." In this way, you will refine the medicine according to your prescription, and test the medicine with some patients first, and if something goes wrong, I will be responsible. ”

The chief medical officer hurriedly boiled the medicine according to the prescription left by his father, and together with Qin Ning, he selected more than a dozen patients and poured the decoction down.

The person who took the medicine quickly improved his symptoms after pouring the decoction. But Qin Ning remembered the death of the little warrior during the day, and he didn't dare to be careless at all, and waited by the side of the patient who was testing the medicine all night.

Seeing Qin Ning like this, the chief medical officer was very moved and said, "General Qin, you are tired day and night, it is not good to stay up like this." You can rest for a while, I promise to watch at any time without even blinking my eyes, and report back to you as soon as there is a situation, what do you think?"

Qin Ning's eyes were already bloodshot, and he commanded the Qin army to fight a decisive battle with the Northern Prince, and until today, Qin Ning has not slept either. The warriors still have a little rest at the end of the decisive battle, and this commander has more things waiting for him, where can he rest?

"Ahem, it's a big deal. In my opinion, whether the medicine is working or not, I will know at dawn, and if the medicine is useful, it will not be too late for me to rest. ”

Seeing that Qin Ning couldn't move, the chief medical officer had no choice but to make some tea for Qin Ning, so that this admirable leader could refresh himself a little.

As Qin Ning expected, at dawn, the patients who tried the medicine reacted.

A total of 16 people tested the drug, and six of them showed a benign reaction, the pulse stabilized, and all physiological functions were active. Seven of them were patients. The symptoms were relieved, but he fell into a deep coma. No vomiting, no leaking, but also no way to get rid of the signs of coma.

The other two deteriorated rapidly and died in the blink of an eye.

Qin Ning carefully examined each patient. He asked the chief medical officer, "Did you use this prescription in the first place?"

The chief medical officer thought for a moment and shook his head and said, "Back then, I was with my father to grab medicine and boil medicine, and everyone in the family took it without any side effects. I remember very well that there was absolutely no such situation. ”

Qin Ning nodded and said, "This time and that time." After a long period of change, the cause should also change dramatically, which is very normal, and there is no causal relationship with your prescription. ”

The chief medical officer held back for a while, and finally said cautiously, "General Qin." We're going to have to prepare for the worst. Such a virulent infectious disease may develop into a huge epidemic. For the sake of safety, it is better to suspend all work, isolate all personnel who appear abnormal, and deal with them according to the plan for a large-scale plague outbreak. ”

After thinking about it for a while, Qin Ning felt that the construction of the chief medical officer was still very pertinent. He immediately asked the chief medical officer to boil the medicine according to the family prescription and give it to all the staff. Then, Qin Ning notified Qiu Wenhe and Sha Xingping to come over and act in accordance with the emergency epidemic treatment plan.

All work stopped. All personnel were evacuated to clean up the scene of the battlefield. A cordon was sprinkled five miles away from the battlefield site, and no one was allowed to enter.

In all departments, the physical condition of the relevant personnel is immediately checked. There are three levels of severe, mild symptoms and suspected infection symptoms, and the first class of people are isolated.

Qin Ning asked Qiu Wenhe to urgently transfer the corresponding medicinal materials and powerful anti-poison medicinal materials from the rear. Thoroughly disinfect crowded places.

The prescription provided by the chief medical officer had a significant effect on the outbreak, but it did not meet Qin Ning's expectations.

Just when Qin Ning was thinking about improving the formula. The situation reported by various quarantine units shocked Qin Ning.

For people in the intensive care area, the mortality rate reached 1 in 5. In the case of mild symptoms, one in four cases becomes severe. The mortality rate is 1 in 20.

Several deaths have also been reported in areas of suspected infection.

In one day, more than 1,000 people died of malignant infectious diseases, and what made Qin Ning most unsettling was that among the people who did not have the slightest symptoms, symptoms also appeared.

The chief medical officer found Qin Ning and anxiously reported, "General Qin, things have changed. In the past, I always thought that this infectious disease was caused by physical contact, but after a lot of observation, I found that this evil disease can be transmitted through air breathing. ”

Qin Ning was shocked, if it was really as the chief medical officer said, then the epidemic had reached the point of uncontrollable. Through guò physical contact, you can still control the source of infection and the way of transmission, but if it spreads through the air, a gust of wind will come down, and the entire Blue Star Empire will not be able to avoid it.

"Are you sure?" Qin Ning said with great solemnity.

The chief medical officer nodded emphatically, indicating that his judgment was not wrong.

In the beginning, because the number of infected people was relatively small and the detection was late, there were not all cases in each period of the disease. Therefore, it is not possible to make a comprehensive analysis and evaluation of the symptoms.

But after Qin Ning was isolated, the symptoms of each symptom stage could be observed, so there would be a comprehensive visual diagnosis.

"General Qin, in the early stage of the disease, what the patient expressed was cough and dizziness and fatigue, which is a typical wind-cold infection, which shows that the formation of the cause is definitely not formed by eating and drinking. Further down, it is vomiting and diarrhea, and then suddenly the physiological function is lost and the whole process of the disease is reversed, that is, the cause is transmitted in the air. ”

Qin Ning thought for a while, and took the chief medical officer to observe the people with different symptoms.

In the early stage of the disease, Qin Ning found that these people did have abnormalities in the larynx and trachea, which had nothing to do with diet. And among the gradually worsening symptoms, the symptoms of plague appeared. Until the end, it was closely aligned with the analysis of the medical officer.

This is an extremely serious epidemic, and Qin Ning immediately ordered a cordon to be sprinkled around Tongling Pass, so that all the people south of Tongling Pass are prohibited from coming to the north. It is necessary to control the epidemic on the front line of Tongling Pass, otherwise, as the population increases further south, the epidemic will not be able to be controlled.

Doing a good job of isolation measures, Qin Ning took the prescription of the chief medical officer and thought hard about how to improve it. Qin Ning thought of a lot of ways, but he didn't make any changes after all.

No matter how perfect the theory is, sometimes it just can't stand the test of practice.

Qin Ning thought about it for a long time and decided to observe the patient carefully before making improvements.

The epidemic is getting worse and worse, and after only half a day, more than 1,000 people have died.

Qin Ning started with these dead people first, and chose a dead person with very obvious symptoms, Qin Ning used his divine sense to conduct a detailed exploration of this person's body.

There were no problems with the musculoskeletal areas of the deceased, and there were no abnormalities in the relevant areas of the brain. The place where there is a heavy change is the visceral organs of the deceased.

Qin Ning did a detailed study of the prescription of the chief medical officer, and found that the main body of this prescription is a prescription with the main thinking of strengthening the right and dispelling evil, and taking into account the drug assistance to stimulate the potential of the viscera.

If the cause is really a plague-like disease, this prescription should be cured to eliminate the disease, and there will not be such a high number of people who are at risk and such a high mortality rate.

Qin Ning made a detailed analysis of the deceased's organs and found that these organs were not caused by the exhaustion of essence, but embolism caused by certain blood vessels, which caused organ failure due to the inability of blood to enter the organs.

This phenomenon attracted Qin Ning's attention. He carefully analyzed each herb in the prescription and under what circumstances it would cause such symptoms.

Finally, Qin Ning found the crux of the problem. The prescription provided by the chief medical officer had the same medicinal material as the Life-Continuing Pill used by Qin Ning, that is, the Soul Returning Herb.

This botanical herb has a special effect, that is, after being absorbed by the human body, it accelerates the blood flow of the viscera, and has an excellent effect on forcibly activating the viscera.

However, the cause of the epidemic is that it can increase the blood viscosity in the patient's viscera, and the conflict between the two causes an instantaneous shock in the viscera, leading to the death of the patient, so that on the surface, it seems to be a death from exhaustion. The death of the little warrior and some of the victims was supposed to be caused by this cause.

This explains why the medicine prescribed by the chief medical officer is useful, but the mortality rate is high.

In Qin Ning's divine sense, all the causes could be observed, and Qin Ning found that in addition to the cause of the pangolin infectious disease carried by the two-legged wolf, there were also other hidden causes of the demon beast, which were compounded and superimposed, causing such a consequence.

The etiology carried by the pangolin was originally transmitted through guò contact, but after compounding and superimposing different etiologies, it was able to be emitted into the air, which formed an airborne pathway.

All the reasons have been found, if Qin Ning wants to control such a big epidemic, he can control the source of infection, but the transmission route cannot be controlled.

The only way to eradicate this epidemic is to develop drugs that can treat and prevent it.

With the factors of pathological formation, Qin Ning can rest assured and boldly improve the prescription of the medical officer. There is no need to change the other ingredients, the most important thing is the replacement of the soul returning grass.

After thinking about it for a long time, Qin Ning used three alternative medicinal materials to replace the Soul Returning Herb, and it was no problem to prove theoretically, but the key was to rely on practice to test which medicinal material was most suitable.

Qin Ning returned to the quarantine area, found the chief medical officer, told him his plan, and asked for his opinion.

The chief medical officer felt that each medicinal material had its own reason, and which one was more suitable should be determined through clinical practice.

The three improved recipes were all boiled out. The chief medical officer selected 100 patients and gave them a modified decoction.

The improved decoction is more effective than the original formula. In the end, Qin Ning and the chief medical officer decided to use this improved formula in the control of the epidemic. (To be continued......) R1292
