Man Bao carefully swept the fallen acne scabs into the bottle, held his breath and covered the bottle before saying to the little girl on the bed: "You are recovering well, you don't even need to take any medicine, and you can leave tomorrow."
The little girl was stunned, and it took a moment to react, and she said pleasantly, "Really? I, can I go?"
Man Bao nodded.
She turned her head and threw herself at her mother, crying, "Mom, I'm fine, I'm fine..."
"Yes, yes, you are well, you are finally well." The woman pulled the little girl off the bed, and knelt down for Man Bao.
Man Bao quickly reached out to support her, "What are you doing, sister-in-law, please get up."
"Thank Imperial Physician Zhou for saving your life, girl, hurry up and kowtow to Imperial Physician Zhou. When you were sent here, the doctors couldn't tell you that it was Imperial Physician Zhou who rescued you."
The little girl knelt down again, but when Man Bao stopped her, she also kowtowed.
In one day, Man Bao sent eight patients out, and all of them were cured and survived.
There are cures, and there are naturally cures.
Man Bao withdrew his hand, shook his head at the patient's relatives beside him, and then there was a burst of crying in the shed.
During this period of time, Lai Manbao has become accustomed to such farewells.
When I saw her for the first time, she was still uncomfortable, and she had to stand in the air for a few quarters of an hour to calm down, but after a month, people died and were carried out every day. There were other patients, and naturally there were her patients, and the pain became a little bit worse. Numb.
At this moment, Man Bao no longer stood in the wind and pretended that the wind was too strong to distract her eyes. She just stood quietly, watched her relatives cry for a while, and then nodded to Zhou Liru who was waiting by the side.
Zhou Liru went out to call for someone, and after a while someone would come to carry the deceased out. The body needed to be cremated, so he could only leave with the ashes.
This is also one of the reasons why some smallpox patients would not come to the hospital shed even if they died.
Seeing them go, Man Bao turned around and went to see the next patient.
When she finally dragged her two legs to the place where the medicine was boiled, and had dinner with Zhou Liru, she squatted on the ground.
A doctor moved over from the side and asked: "Physician Zhou, I saw that you had several patients this morning, and saw you sending people away at the air outlet. How many beds have been vacated?"
Man Bao sighed, "Nine, eight survived, and one died."
A doctor saw that she was not very interested, so he smiled and said: "Physician Zhou, your side is much better than ours. It is very rare to be able to cure eight people in one day and only die one."
"Yes, yes, I went out five today, two died, and only three survived."
Man Bao said: "But I haven't been here for a long time, these patients were treated after I came..."
When she came in, the patient she was treating was either dead or already cured, and she was helping everywhere.
But now all the people living in the hospital shed have been moved in through her hands, and she has been watching over them all the time. She has tried her best to be considerate, but people still die of illness every day.
There is some discomfort, but what Man Bao feels most deeply is the ferocity of the smallpox virus.
The death rate is too high, she can pat her chest and say that her treatment plan is the most comprehensive among all doctors, even Doctor Lu can't compare with it.
The treatment methods she used were decoction, acupuncture and scrubbing concoction. She naturally knew that the doctor could not guarantee a 100% cure, but the death rate was so high under her comprehensive treatment methods. I want to see how high the death rate is in other people or other places.
What Mr. Mo said was indeed true. This is a very vicious virus with high contagiousness and high mortality rate.
Therefore, it should be prevented early, rather than bothering to treat the epidemic after it occurs.
While eating, Man Bao was thinking about prevention. She asked the doctor beside her, "Have you ever heard of vaccination?"
"What?"
Man Bao said: "People who have had smallpox will not get smallpox again, so if everyone in the world has acne once, wouldn't there be no smallpox that day?"
"... Imperial Physician Zhou, do you mean that everyone in the world will be infected with smallpox? How many people can survive?"
Man Bao said: "The toxicity of smallpox is also strong and weak. Didn't you find out that the acne rash on children is lighter than that of adults. A child's acne may be cured in five days, but adults need seven days or even longer." time."
She said: "None of the adults in my medical shed were cured within seven days, but there were a lot of children. I observed the acne situation, and the children's acne is indeed less toxic than adults."
"So what if we can control the toxicity of smallpox?" She thought about the vaccination method she had seen, and said, "If we can pick a smallpox that is less toxic and infect a person or a cow, cure him (it), then Use his (it) scabs to infect people or cows with smallpox. After doing this for two or three times, the toxicity must be diluted a lot. It should be the smallest, and it will be cured after a little treatment, it won't have a high fever, and it won't be full of acne, but he did have acne, and if he encounters smallpox in the future, he will naturally not be infected again."
It sounds like a fairy tale, but... everyone miraculously thinks it makes sense.
So someone asked: "Where did the imperial doctor Zhou hear about this method?"
Such a thorough consideration is obviously not what I thought.
Man Bao's words rolled around on the tip of his tongue before he said: "I heard from a patient that there seems to be this method in the Western Regions, but I don't know if it's true or not."
"This time smallpox seems to have come from the Western Regions."
"No, it's not that the cattle and sheep on the grassland were sick, but they sold the sick cattle and sheep to people in Xiazhou City, so they got infected."
"Really, how did I hear that the people on the grassland got sick first and went to Xiazhou City to infect us Central Plains people?"
Hearing what they were talking about, Man Bao hurriedly said: "Master Yang will investigate the cause later, do you think this method of vaccination is reliable?"
"You have to try it to know whether it's reliable or not?"
"Then we have to use human beings to test it," a doctor said, "Physician Zhou is an official of the imperial court, and there are still death row prisoners available, but even death row prisoners can't be used to test smallpox at will, right?"
"Yes, this method has heaven and harmony."
"So we still have to look for it, find the source of this method, and study the exact method. At that time, even death row prisoners will be used, and the future merits will also be able to offset the sins."
Man Bao nodded again and again, "I think so too, so I have to go to the Western Regions."
The doctors didn't speak for a long time, and after a while they said: "It's so simple, the journey is so long..."
Who would want to go to the Western Regions
Man Bao is willing!
Seeing that everyone had already discussed in a low voice, she nodded in satisfaction, but she still couldn't help but think of the method of vaccination.
It is said in the book that cowpox is safer than human pox, which should be the reason why it is less toxic, but it did not mention how many times the specific method of spreading pox needs to go through, so the doctors are right. The method still has to find someone to try it.
It seems that the prisoners in the death row are really going to be offended, which is really a sin.
