154. Toxic bacillary dysentery
Gu Qianxue had a very good impression of this man. Judging from his clothes, he should be from a wealthy family, and judging from his noble temperament, he might be from a wealthy family.
Who doesn't appreciate someone who is powerful and powerful, but who doesn't look too high on the top, and who has rescued people in the past
The man led the horse, waited and watched for a while, and after frowning slightly with his bushy eyebrows, he was ready to continue heading into the depths of the plague area.
"My lord, please wait!" Gu Qianxue hurriedly shouted.
Hearing Gu Qianxue's voice, the man turned around and saw a "dark-skinned" girl in coarse clothes running towards him carrying a wooden box.
"Girl, what do you want me to do?"
The man's voice is elegant, with an elegant temperament that can be called "family education". Although the voice is soft and windy, it is obviously alienated.
Gu Qianxue took a breath, and smiled, "That's right, I know that you are enthusiastic about going to the plague area to find out, but since it is a plague, it is contagious. If you go in without any protection, if you It's not good to be stained." She said, she put the wooden box on the dilapidated stone table beside the road, took out the handkerchief, and took out a porcelain bottle from the wooden box.
The porcelain bottle was opened, and there was a strong smell of wine.
The man smelled the wine, and his eyes were puzzled. It was not because he was surprised that the girl carried wine with her, but because the smell of this wine was much more mellow than spirits. What kind of wine is this
Gu Qianxue poured some wine on the handkerchief, then wrapped some herbs and gauze in the middle of the handkerchief, rolled up the handkerchief, and handed it over. "The young master tied this handkerchief between his mouth and nose. Although there is no guarantee that it will prevent the plague from spreading, it can prevent most of it."
The man lowered his head, only to see the girl's "dark" fingers were slender, and her hands were beautifully shaped. On her hands lay a handkerchief quietly, exuding the fragrance of medicine and wine.
"What kind of wine did you use just now?" the man asked.
Gu Qianxue said, "It's the wine sold in the tavern, but I bought it back and distilled it to purify it." In fact, she lied, all these wines were found from Prince Li's Mansion, and she heard that it was a tribute wine.
In line with the principle of desperately ruining King Li's property, Gu Qianxue abruptly brought the two most expensive jars of wine and distilled them into alcohol for disinfection.
The man took a deep look at Gu Qianxue, then reached out to take the handkerchief, "Thank you." Then he led the horse and left.
Gu Qianxue didn't stop her, but just watched the back of the man going further away.
She was not curious about the identity of the man, nor did she want to reveal her identity, it was just a chance encounter. "I hope you're safe and well." Gu Qianxue mumbled, then took out some gauze from the medicine box, made a gas mask for herself, put it on carefully, and then went deep into the plague area.
The further you go in, the more dilapidated the house is, and the more deadly the atmosphere is. Not to mention that you can't see passers-by, even the painful groans in the house are gone.
It was evening, and the alley without a single figure was like a road leading to hell, eerie and terrifying.
Gu Qianxue was a little scared, but forced herself to be brave. Seeing a small dim light in a nearby house, she went in. "Excuse me, is anyone there? Is anyone there?" He called softly.
The yard is full of fallen leaves, no one has cleaned them, and they are softly stepped on, and there is no sense of reality.
Just when Gu Qianxue walked to the door of the house and was about to reach out and push open the dilapidated wooden door with a gap, a hoarse and weak female voice finally came from inside the door, "Girl, you... shouldn't... come here." Listen to the voice , extremely old, should be an old woman.
Knowing that someone was there, Gu Qianxue boldly pushed the door open, stepped over the high threshold, and entered the room, "It's okay, I'm a doctor." What came over her nostrils was the pungent smell of corruption.
The old woman paused when she heard that it was a doctor, and then said in surprise, "God bless..."
Gu Qianxue walked through the small hall and entered the room, and saw an old woman about sixty years old lying weakly on the bed, her clothes were torn, her face was slightly dirty, her eyes were dim, "Grandma, where is your family? "
Speaking of the family, the old woman's dry eyes filled with tears again, "Family... family... all... dead..."
Although she is used to facing life and death, Gu Qianxue still feels sad.
No more talking, walked quickly to the old woman, opened the wooden box, took out the stethoscope and hung it on the ear. "Grandma, don't be afraid. I'll check you up. Tell me first, do you have the plague that is circulating? Do you have any uncomfortable symptoms?"
The old woman said, "Yes, what I... got is indeed the plague. This disease is too... dangerous. I have diarrhea and diarrhea all over my body, and I feel... fever all over my body. I just feel... that I can't use my strength..."
Gu Qianxue nodded, first listened to the old woman's heart, and then felt the old woman's pulse.
The old woman had never seen a female doctor before, let alone such a young female doctor, let alone the strange object in her hand.
In the past, the old woman would not trust this yellow-haired girl, but now the old woman has no choice, because the plague is fierce, and no doctor is willing to take the risk of being infected to the plague area. Who to count on.
After the diagnosis was over, Gu Qianxue judged based on the diagnosis of the old woman and the conditions of other patients described by the old woman that this plague was very similar to modern-day toxic bacillary dysentery.
But there are also differences. Modern toxic bacillary dysentery mostly occurs in children aged 2-7, but this kind of plague in Nanyue country does not distinguish between men, women and children. As long as they are infected, they will be contagious, and the disease rate is extremely high.
The symptoms of toxic bacillary dysentery are high fever, disturbance of consciousness, and convulsions. If not treated in time, the condition will continue to develop, and shock and coma will occur. It can also cause death of the skin and various organs of the whole body due to disseminated intravascular coagulation, and the prognosis is poor.
The best treatment for toxic bacillary dysentery is intravenous injection of anti-allergic antibacterial drugs, followed by oral administration.
The illness was dangerous, and Chinese herbal medicines were gentle and slow, and there were no antibacterial and antiallergic drugs, so let alone ordinary doctors, even imperial physicians were helpless.
Fortunately, there is penicillin.
Gu Qianxue immediately opened the medicine box and began to prepare the medicine. He put penicillin and herbs with anti-allergic effects together, found water, mixed it thoroughly, and then fed it to the old woman.
After drinking the medicine, the old woman looked terrified, "Girl, can my illness... be cured?" She was deeply attached to life.
Gu Qianxue softly comforted her voice, "Don't worry, I will definitely cure your illness. This medicine is for tonight, and the rest, you drink it tomorrow morning, and I will come to diagnose you again at about noon."
"Okay, okay, thank you... Thank you, girl." The old woman still wanted to say words of gratitude with tears in her eyes.
"Grandma, what you need most now is to rest. I'll talk about what you have to say later. Lie on the bed and sleep for a while, and you'll be fine when you wake up." Gu Qianxue comforted the old woman while supporting her to lie down.
I don't know if it was the old woman who was comforted by the psychological hints given by Gu Qianxue, or the medicine took effect quickly, the old woman fell into a deep sleep after a while.
The room, which was still slightly popular just now, suddenly smelled of death again.
Gu Qianxue packed up the medicine box, turned around and was about to leave, but a figure appeared at the door like a ghost, and Gu Qianxue was startled.
