It's not that hard to open a hospital in another world, right?

Chapter 468 Smallpox Antibody... Can this thing still be obtained with magic? !

"Although it is a hospital, no one sets off firecrackers, cuts ribbons, or sends flower baskets. I always feel that something is missing."

Gretel stood at the door of the hospital with his hands behind his back and his head up, muttering to himself.

He doesn't really want these things... As a doctor, he hopes that people in the world will be free from disease, and he would rather put medicine on the shelf to make dust and open a hospital. There is no reason to advertise with drums and drums everywhere.Of course, except for certain hospitals.

However, at least let the nearby people know that there is a treatment center here!When you have any illness or injury, you know to come here for medical treatment!
"Come, come, raise our flag!" He greeted with a smile.Leon Carlos gave an order, and several necromancer apprentices were in a hurry, commanding the skeleton soldiers to climb to a high place, hanging up...

A square flag with a red cross on a white background.

In this world, the flag of the Church of the Lord of Radiance is the golden thunder held in the fist.

No one competed with him for the Red Cross.

Oye.happy!
On the other side, Miss Anivea walked the streets with two apprentice priests of the God of Nature.One bag of candy per person, distributed to those little homeless people one by one, one by one, and said:
"Go to the end in that direction, where there is a red cross flag on top, someone will see a doctor..."

Even so, no patients came to Gretel's hospital on the first day.There was no second day, and there was still no third day. Gretel was not in a hurry, and decided to take the apprentices to make smallpox vaccine.

"First of all, in order to prevent everyone from getting smallpox, we need to be vaccinated first..."

Gretel waved his hand, and two skeleton soldiers in nurse skins led a cow into the courtyard.The apprentices standing in two rows immediately started a commotion.

Gretel turned a blind eye.Smallpox is too violent, and it can be easily transmitted through the air, droplets, items used by patients, and scabs on the body.Letting students study this unprotected is a crime and it is murder!
"Vaccination is very convenient." Gretel said with a smile:

"Use the pimple serum from this cow and inject it into the upper arm muscle. Just a little... within ten days, there will be a slight fever. After recovery, I will never get smallpox again! Tried it!"

Leon Carlos was very powerful, and he traveled all over the country, and he really found a cow with the right symptoms.Gretel had done a verification experiment and was sure that the thing was really cowpox. He couldn't wait, so he vaccinated himself again.

Woo, this world is too dangerous, even for the safety of your own life, all kinds of vaccines should be vaccinated quickly!
There was silence below.For a moment, a slender and powerful arm was raised high.Gretel looked in the direction of the arm, and saw an apprentice from the medical department stepping forward with a serious face:

"But sir, how can you be sure that the pox serum from this cow can be used? ——Some cows with similar pox can get smallpox if they get it on people!"

"Good point." Gretel nodded with a smile.The discoverer of the smallpox vaccine, Edward Jenner, encountered this problem: some pox-prone cows can provide protection, and some can't:

"Because there is a difference between 'true cowpox' and 'false cowpox' in the pox on cows. These pox can infect humans, and the symptoms are similar, but only 'true cowpox' can provide protection to humans. How to distinguish them? , I will tell you when you are all protected.”

Cowpox should be differentially diagnosed with milkman's nodules, sheep pox, primary skin tuberculosis, and a bunch of other diseases.The way to distinguish it depends on the symptoms and pathological examination of the affected parts.There is no need to mention such troublesome things at the vaccine presentation!

"But it's so troublesome!" The apprentice wrinkled his nose:
"The probability of failure is still very high! Sir, obviously we have a better way!"

"any solution?"

"Of course, during the smallpox epidemic, take the initiative to infect—"

What?
Although Gretel was prepared to hear a strange answer, at this moment, he still felt a thunderbolt hit his head.Active infection?It's too dangerous!Although in this magical world, people's way of thinking and behavioral logic are different from those in the previous life, they can't die like this!

Before he showed any surprise, he had already heard the second half of the sentence.The apprentice in the medical department took it for granted:

"Then, use [Remove Disease] to cure yourself!"

!!!

In theory, this method is effective...

After getting sick and then recovering, people naturally acquire antibodies. [Remove disease] is also a way to heal people, and it can guarantee 100% cure for diseases that can be covered by this magic spell.

Compared with cowpox, especially, compared to looking for the one that can provide immunity among a bunch of pox similar to cowpox, [Remove disease] is obviously convenient, fast, and has a high accuracy rate...

Just expensive.

Dead expensive.

Gretel quickly turned his thoughts around, and said with a smile: "Then, who can answer me, how much does a bottle of [Remove Disease] potion cost?"

Seven or eight hands were raised at the same time.

The [Remove Disease] potion, like the [Treat Minor Injury], [Treat Moderate Injury], [Treat Severe Injury] potion, is a standard potion that is always available in the major temples.

As long as there is no catastrophe, epidemic, major war, etc., resulting in a sharp imbalance between supply and demand, the prices of these standard potions will always be stable and unified:

"750 gold coins!"

"I know, it's 750 gold coins!"

As long as there is no catastrophe and the demand rises sharply, whether it is the God of War Temple, the Spring Temple, or the exchange office of the Magic Council, the average price will be listed.Gretel continued to smile:

"So, how many people can afford a few 750 gold coins to provide protection for the whole family?"

The apprentices suddenly misfired.A family, father, mother, two or three children - 3000 bottles of medicine is 5 gold coins, 3750 bottles of medicine is 3000 gold coins.There are not many people who can casually withdraw more than [-] gold coins without affecting their family status.

At the very least, these mage apprentices looked at each other and found that at least half of them couldn't afford the money...

By the way, smallpox is just one type of plague.In addition to smallpox, there are also chickenpox, diphtheria, scarlet fever, whooping cough... All of them can be wiped out with [Remove Disease]. Even a wealthy family with a few manors and a few shops can be wiped out of bankruptcy.

If you can't pay, you have to ask someone to cast a spell on the spot.However, there is no free knowledge, let alone free spells.

The instructors may be willing to cast spells for the apprentices, but each spell cast will be converted into a favor, or converted into a longer service time in the mage tower or the inner temple.

Doing the math, if there's a cheaper solution, maybe, maybe, maybe, it'd be nice...

All horses are silent below.Gretel was confident, and continued to ask:
"Besides, how many times can a fifth-level priest release [Remove Disease] in one day? How many people can he protect in the event of a plague pandemic?"

The apprentices exchanged glances with each other, completely speechless.

Smallpox, or any kind of plague, when there is a pandemic, there are tens of thousands of people who get sick.If the caster's [Remove Disease] can be completely resolved, there will be no such thing as plague.

Want to actively infect smallpox when it is prevalent, and then use [Remove Disease] to cure yourself?

Either you have money, or you have power... The potion will expire when it expires. It is not a little bit more difficult to get the help of a spellcaster during a great plague than usual...

"So, the value of our work lies here." Gretel raised his head and smiled, his eyes shining brightly.He took a few steps, approached the cow, and patted it on the head:

"We can greatly reduce the cost of fighting against smallpox to the point where a first-level spellcaster, apprentice, and even ordinary people can operate it. The cost for people to acquire resistance can be reduced from 750 gold coins to 50 gold coins, or even more Low--"

Gretel remembered that when talking about infectious diseases, the teacher once gossiped that in the United States in 1797, private smallpox vaccination hospitals charged between 10 and 15 pounds per case.In other words, it should be possible to reduce the cost to less than 10 gold coins.

In fact, in the country where the smallpox vaccine was born, Britain, once promoted mandatory free vaccination across the country.In other words, its vaccination cost can be reduced to the point where the public finances can afford it...

"We are healers. Our purpose is to take care of the health of the public as much as possible. Let the world have less disease and pain as much as possible."

Gretel's expression gradually became serious.He looked up at the top of the building, under the sky covered with lead clouds, the bright red cross was hunting, as if it was a fire that would never be extinguished.

He opened a hospital and recruited apprentices, not only asking people to work, but also looking forward to finding companions who are willing to walk side by side under the guidance of the Red Cross——

Turning his eyes, Miss Anivea, the young priest of the God of Nature, nodded to him with a smile.Leon Carlos straightened his back, his expression hard to hide his excitement.Among the new apprentices, the priests of the temple and the teenagers from the medical department, most of them were already flushed.

Gretel nodded to them:
"Those who want to participate in this project, come here, and we will inoculate them one by one. If you don't want to participate, don't force yourself, there are other research projects for you. Voluntary registration, voluntary participation, don't be afraid that there is nothing to do, I have a lot of projects here-"

Before the words were finished, the five necromancer apprentices had already lined up neatly.Behind them, Anivea pushed the nearest priest apprentice, speaking angrily:
"Hurry up!——You haven't snatched the Necromancer!"

Really, shame on the God of Nature, who doesn't know that the priest of the God of Nature can fight and run!
Everyone has a herd mentality.The necromancer apprentices rushed to the front, and the medical apprentices followed. Those apprentices from the transformation department, confusion control department, and protection department who came to work with letters of introduction also pushed and pushed in the line.

——The master of the mage tower and the director of the medical center will not harm them.Even if it hurts, it won't hurt that much in one breath.Isn't it good to get smallpox protection for nothing?

Leon Carlos draws the serum from the vaccinia blisters, and Anivera dispenses it into sticks.Gretel rolled up his sleeves and personally vaccinated the apprentices one by one.While working, he muttered:
"Vaccination is usually done on the upper arm... The deltoid muscle here is rich, so it is not easy to cause problems..."

"Sterilize first, the angle of needle insertion is perpendicular to the skin..."

"One needle per person, not shared, to prevent cross-infection..."

If you don't understand, just give them an ear first.Anyway, it is good to memorize this kind of knowledge. In case of large-scale promotion in the future, they will have to be coolies!
After the inoculation was complete, the apprentices withdrew collectively.Gretel breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to pack his things, he saw Miss Yinlong leaning against the door, with a half-smile:

"Grete, give me one too?"

... Auntie, stop making trouble!Let alone whether dragons will get smallpox, the injection needle in my hand can't pierce your scales!
