At the gate of the Qingzhou Prefecture Mufu, Fang Zhijing and dozens of people including Zheng Zuo Qingming of the Taiyuan Hospital were waiting anxiously. As the sound of horse hooves came from far and near, Fang Zhijing and everyone hurriedly stepped forward. As soon as the carriage stopped, the curtain was lifted by Ye Qingyun from the outside.
"Come down, junior sister, Master Fang and all the imperial doctors have been waiting for a long time."
Qingxuan was a little nervous at this moment. She was thinking along the way, can she really do it? Can she really do it? But now it's hard to get off the tiger.
Ye Qingyun understood Qingxuan's nervousness. After getting along with him all the way, he was a smart person and had already seen through the lack of confidence behind Qingxuan's indifference.
So he smiled lightly, patted her shoulder, and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, junior sister, you have to believe in yourself."
"Who said I'm scared?" Qingxuan said coldly after hearing this, and then got off the carriage.
"Thank you for your hard work, Medical Immortal!" As soon as Mr. Fang saw Qingxuan, he immediately took the lead and saluted Qingxuan with his fists clasped.
When Qingxuan saw Master Fang leading dozens of people to greet him at the gate of the state capital, he couldn't help but panic. This was too grand. How could she be worthy of such courtesy? I can only return the gift calmly and politely.
"Master Fang is too polite. Qingxuan doesn't have to work hard."
"This is Zuo Qingming, the chief minister of Tai Hospital, and this is deputy minister Yu. These few are good doctors selected from various places. They were all appointed by the king to come to Qingzhou to develop a prescription for this plague." Fang Zhi. Jing Yi pointed at everyone and introduced to Qingxuan.
"Qingxuan Medical Immortal!" Everyone also quickly bowed to Qingxuan.
On the surface, everyone was polite and courteous, but Qingxuan clearly felt that most of the good doctors were perfunctory and dissatisfied.
I am afraid that everyone came here to greet her, a little girl who was less than twenty years old, under the pressure of Lord Fang, so they couldn't help but smile bitterly in their hearts.
Then he returned the courtesy: "Master Fang and all the good doctors, please don't be polite. Just call me Qingxuan or Doctor Qing. In terms of seniority, you can all be regarded as Qingxuan's seniors. Calling me like this really offends Qingxuan." .”
When everyone saw that she was still respectful and polite, most of them put away their hostility and contempt.
Qingxuan saw that everyone was no longer polite, so he immediately said: "I wonder if you can show me the current illness."
Zuo Qingming, the doctor at Taiyuan Hospital, saw that she was anxious to see the symptoms when she first arrived. He knew that she was not a polite person, so he hurriedly said: "Doctor Qing, please come with me."
After a while, everyone arrived at a three-entry courtyard. The plaque at the door had the three characters "Simin Hall". It was temporarily established by Fang Zhijing to develop an antidote for the plague. At the same time, local patients were also treated inside this place. , there are all kinds of medicinal materials and a variety of medical equipment placed outside, which makes Qingxuan feel happy.
Every time you enter the courtyard, there is an ear room that specializes in developing prescriptions. Looking inside, you can see small isolated cubicles. In each small cubicle lies a patient. According to the patient's condition, The severity is arranged in three rows: front, middle and back.
"Are the most critically ill patients placed in the innermost area?" Qingxuan asked.
"Yes, Doctor Qing, please put on the special clothes and face towel before going in!" Zuo Qingming saw that she was about to rush into the most critical patients as soon as she arrived at Simin Hall, and he couldn't help but respect her, and quickly ordered Someone brought special protective clothing for the two of them to put on.
Qingxuan and Zuo Qingming walked into the innermost critical area, only to find that the cubicles here were smaller and the number of people was much larger than those in the two outside areas. Seeing her confusion, Zuo Qingming explained that originally the patients here were from the state. There were some mild patients admitted by the government, but the condition changed too quickly this time, and the number of people in critical areas was increasing, so temporary modifications were made as a last resort.
Qingxuan chose a patient in the innermost room and after looking around, he visited several typical cases in the moderate and mild areas to learn more about it, and then he said to the record-keeper beside him: "The patient's pulse is disordered and urgent. Slow for a while, the head is burning, the eyes are red, there is a hint of suppuration, the mouthpiece is bleeding, and breathing is not smooth. Patients in critical areas have pain when pressing the chest and lungs, which may have worsened. The body surface temperature is not high, but there is Pustules and sores appear."
Then Qingxuancai and Zuo Qingming walked out of the diagnosis and treatment area at the door and said: "Zuo Zhengfeng, Qingxuan based on the medical records and the situation just learned, initially judged that the plague should be caused by exogenous fever, that is, malignant typhoid fever."
Zuo Qingming nodded quickly and said, "Doctor Qing, what you said is absolutely true. We also judged it the same way, so we used: cinnabar, water-milled realgar, orpiment leaves, and purple gold as medicine. It was effective at first, but gradually the effect became worse and worse. It is weak, especially has no effect on patients in critical areas. We also added Magnolia officinalis, Anemarrhena, peony and Scutellaria baicalensis, but none of them had any obvious effect."
Qingxuan pondered for a while and said: "These are small golden elixir prescriptions. Since the effect is not good, we can try to adjust the Chinese prescription: rhubarb, hemp seeds, citrus aurantium, poria, peony, phlegm and skullcap."
After hearing this, Zuo Qingming felt that the effects of these medicines were too strong, but he might as well give it a try in this situation, so he asked Qingxuan to write down the specific dosage of medicines in a prescription, and then ordered his servants to boil the medicine as soon as possible.
In the evening, the two went to observe the patient's condition after taking the medicine. Qingxuan used acupuncture on the spot to detoxify the patient's body surface. This was repeated for several days without stopping, but the effect of the medicine was more obvious for patients with mild symptoms. However, the condition of moderately and severely ill patients has not improved significantly.
Therefore, we have to try to change other medicinal materials every day, and then observe the symptoms after taking them, and record them one by one. However, most of the severely ill patients cannot speak, and some specific physical changes cannot be grasped in time, making it extremely difficult to grasp the medication. Portion size.
After being so busy every day until midnight, Qingxuan, Zuo Qingming, Yu Hao and others were shocked to realize that they had barely eaten anything all day long, and they didn't even feel hungry. They could only look at each other and smile bitterly.
After returning to the resting place, Qingxuan was still thinking about the patient's condition and couldn't fall asleep. He got up in the middle of the night and read medical books. He struggled until dawn and finally managed to sleep for a while.
