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

Chapter 706 The tying also has to tie Grete to the palace!
How do you judge?
Gretel met Elder Knox's eyes and smiled slightly.In the smile, thoughts are flying, full of nostalgia.

When I was in college in my previous life, the brightest and most relaxing memory in my life echoed in my mind.At that time, they were crazily reading books, crazily reading journal papers, crazily developing various brain holes, and looking for various ways to compete with each other——

There was one time when we competed to find diseases that looked like vampires and were historically mistaken for vampires.What have you had, symptoms of each, differential diagnosis, treatment modalities...

At that time, a group of students excitedly made a form for the boss.In the list of diseases listed, there is this one in front of me.

Gretel couldn't make a quick judgment before because he was not familiar with dermatology and there were too many interference items.Fortunately, the assassin made such a fuss and helped him clarify the diagnosis:
Well, this assassin, to be precise, this suspected case of manic attack tendency, can be ruled out.Symptoms of mental illness, limited to dullness, indifference, slowness...

The cause of these refugees quickly became clear in Gretel's mind.And after continuous physical examinations, interrogations, and confirmation of their living environment, diet, and disease process, Gretel was basically sure:
What these people collectively suffer from is niacin deficiency, also known as pellagra.

Niacin, also known as vitamin B3, chemically named pyridine-3-carboxylic acid, is one of the 13 essential vitamins for the human body.

Niacin deficiency can lead to a range of skin, gastrointestinal and neurological symptoms:

The skin begins with erythema, followed by exudation, forming herpes and bullae, and then scabs, pigmentation, skin becomes rough and scaly, and repeats.A very important feature is that the skin lesions are symmetrical, and the hands and feet show glove-like and boot-cover-like changes;

The digestive tract, from the corners of the mouth, oral mucosa, tongue mucosa to gums, will be inflamed, swollen, ulcerated, and secondary infected.So the gums will recede, exposing the roots of the teeth, which look bloody, like vampires;
The most common neuropsychiatric symptoms are dizziness, fatigue, insomnia, etc. If it is severe, it will cause mental disorders, apathy, slow response, etc., showing a state of dementia.Of course, severe malnutrition may also have similar symptoms, and differential diagnosis should be paid attention to.

"In short, it's just hungry and unbalanced nutrition." He replied affirmatively:
"I asked them about their diet in the recent period. Basically, they mainly eat corn and potatoes, and rarely eat other things."

In fact, according to the information that Grete found in his previous life, in the early 20th century in the United States, pellagra once broke out in the southern United States, and most of the patients were residents of slums, especially black people.Therefore, pellagra was once considered to be a disease of the poor and lowly.

Later, the researchers found that these patients had almost the same eating habits: they liked to eat foods composed of corn, fat meat and honey.This kind of food is relatively cheap and has a strong sense of satiety. It is a good food for the poor.

When I found this paragraph, Gretel and his classmates once sighed to each other: America was really rich in the early 20th century.The poor, the Negroes in the slums, can afford fat and honey!

However, fat meat, honey and corn filled their stomachs, but they could not supplement them with the necessary vitamins.An extreme lack of protein, leading to a lack of tryptophan, and finally, a deficiency of niacin.

Elder Knox pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly:

"When I was young, I traveled to the New World for a while. Those people... well, those slaves who worked on the farms, they couldn't eat anything but corn all day long. Many of them have symptoms like this ;"

He stretched out his fingers and bent down one by one:
"Dermatitis, diarrhea, dementia, and death gradually worsened. I lived among them for a period of time and was not infected; I took one of them away to live in other places, and the people living around him were not infected either. "

"Yes. It's just a symptom of nutritional deficiency, and it won't infect others." Gretel nodded heavily:

"Just as people who lack meat are prone to night blindness, these people, if they eat well for a period of time, should be cured by supplementing with meat and animal offal, especially liver."

The baroness has been standing on the sidelines, looking at Elder Knox, then at Gretel, frowning more and more tightly.Hearing the conclusion, I finally couldn't help but speak:
"So you're keeping them until they're cured?"

Gretel choked.Judging by the baroness's appearance, she probably would have exploded immediately if she just said to stay - it was impossible to come up and scratch herself, but depression and mania were quite possible.Cough, after all, how many things have I found for her during this time...

And if it was left to heal, Gretel couldn't do it either.The symptoms of pellagra are so severe that even with daily supplementation of niacin and symptomatic treatment, it will take ten days and a half months to get better.Besides, Gretel couldn't afford niacin oral tablets or injections.

Relying on supplementary nutrition, relying on giving them daily meat, eating pork liver, lamb liver and duck liver, it is estimated that they will recover in three months, thank God.As for myself, it is absolutely impossible to stay here for three months.

"Forget it, these people, send them to my manor." The baroness sighed, sighed, and sighed again:

"These people were sent too abruptly, and I don't know how many conspiracies are waiting behind them. Don't worry about handing them over to the city guards and putting them in prison. Put them in my manor, at least someone will watch them ..."

Gretel smiled mischievously.This kind of favor is too big, feeding them, giving them shelter, sending people to watch them, the money and manpower consumed are not a small amount.It's not for peace of mind, why did the baroness spend so much money?
He wanted to say a few words of thanks, but the baroness ignored him, didn't even look at him.She turned to Elder Knox and bowed respectfully:
"Can you please send a disciple to take care of their health and record their improvement?"

"Of course." The elder agreed:
"It's a rare case, and it's good for the kids. Jeffrey!"

"Hey!"

Holding the oak stick in one hand and covering his forehead with the other, the young pastor ran over in small steps.

With the presence of the baroness and the presence of the priest of the God of Nature, they can ensure that these refugees will not be treated too badly.Gretel breathed a sigh of relief, and madly began to think:
How can I thank her?

Is it too much to give money?

Or, the assassin who was sold today transferred the contribution points from Black Crow Swamp to her?
Before she could think about it, the Baroness turned to Gretel and smiled slightly:
"Master Nordmark, you owe me a favor.—how are you going to pay it?"

"How do you want me to pay back?"

"Can you live in the palace now? The Queen's month is already very old, and she may give birth at any time. It would be better to take care of her personally..."

Cough, in fact, there are people from the Temple of Spring Water, so it's not too short of time to run back and forth.The problem is, this Nordmark mage is too troublesome. He has only been in the capital for a few days, and there have been several waves of incidents against him!

No matter, for the safety of the queen, let him live in the palace quickly, isolated from the outside world!Anyway, he has been in the hospital for so long, the success rate is obvious to all, and his hands are also proficient——

Bind him into the palace too!
