Go back to the past and be a schoolboy

Chapter 84

Tongzhou is not too far from the Shanghai stock market. The next day after receiving a telegram from the Chinese Medical Association, Wu Lien-teh and his party welcomed them.

Sure enough, as soon as the expert made a move, he knew if there was any, and without too many small talk, the group of doctors started to act.

Set up isolation areas according to different symptoms and degrees, and send special personnel to regularly inspect places where people flow. Six kinds of disinfectants, such as carbolic acid water and mercury chloride water, are used for disinfection by means of incineration, steam, boiling, and drugs.

Especially these people wear white coats and typical "Wu's masks". Wherever ordinary people have seen this kind of battle, they all think of Bai Wuchang, which is said by ghosts and gods. The victims of the disaster were frightened from the bottom of their hearts, lest they would be the next person to be pulled in, and the efficiency of obeying orders doubled.

Seeing Wu Lien-teh who was finally able to sit down and rest, Cheng Nuo took a bowl of rice and said, "Dr. Wu, eat this meal quickly, it has been reheated three times, your body will not be able to bear it if you don't eat any more."

Wu Lien-teh waved his hand weakly: "These epidemics are still in the early stages, now that they are under control, I don't have to worry about the latter. I'm just pretending, I really can't eat."

Cheng Nuo was helpless, since he didn't have any glucose water to supplement his energy, after much deliberation, he decided to use the local method, find a bowl of boiling water, put some salt and sugar in each, make sugar salt water and send it to Wu Lien-teh again.

"The body is also very important. You can skip food temporarily, but you must drink water. You are a doctor, I believe you should understand this truth better than me."

Seeing this, Wu Lien-teh didn't say anything else, and after taking the first sip, he couldn't help but glance at Cheng Nuo, with surprise in his eyes, he gave a thumbs-up and drank it all in one gulp.

"Professor Cheng, I was thinking about whether you wrote the ballad about personal hygiene. After drinking this sugar and salt water, I knew that no one here should have this ability except you."

An old pedant in medicine can get rid of Cheng Nuo by a large margin, but it is impossible for an elderly person to admire vernacular Chinese so much, at least they have to be half literate and half vernacular.The young people present couldn't find anyone who was stronger than Cheng Nuo, so there was some reason for such reasoning.

Cheng Nuo didn't follow up on this topic to brag about himself. He wanted to offer a few words of praise, but was stopped again.

Wu Lien-teh said: "To defend against the enemy with epidemic prevention, donate one's life to go to the emergency, how is it different from taking the lead in front of the battle?"

As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly became quiet. Cheng Nuo never thought that Wu Liande would take this matter to such a high level, as if he was on the battlefield, but his solemn appearance did not seem to be fake at all, and his heart was full of respect, so good Talents can not let go.

In the following days, Cheng Nuo has been trying to find ways to get closer to each other, Wu Liande is also happy that young people are interested in medicine, and the relationship between the two has become more and more familiar.

Especially when he learned that Cheng Nuo's "National" magazine was planning to prepare a medical sub-journal, Wu Lien-teh couldn't restrain his excitement: "The prosperity and decline of the country is always measured by the magazine. Zhiyuan, your approach is very good. , I thought of it together, and when you make it, we will echo each other from the south to the north, and the domestic medical world will double."

Seeing this, Cheng Nuo was deliberately embarrassed: "I have a good idea, but I still lack a strong writer, especially for the first issue, which must become a hit."

Wu Lien-teh nodded: "Indeed, if the first issue is not done well, it will be difficult to gain momentum in the future, and it will be difficult to make a good impression on the readers. Well, let me help you solve this problem."

"With the help of the aura of the "National" magazine, there are actually quite a few articles submitted, but my subordinates have never run a medical journal, so I don't know the specific publication standards, and I am afraid of making mistakes in selecting articles."

"Simple, I will help you deal with this directly. After this period of time, I will personally bring a few colleagues with rich review experience to support you and train the team here in Peking."

"Just running a magazine is not enough. We should establish our own modern medical system and modern medical education, so we have established a medical school, and now we are short of a dean."

"Simple, I will also be the dean." Wu Liande, who said it smoothly, thought that there was still a pitfall here, and when he realized it, he had already spoken, and said quickly: "No, the position of dean is very important. I don’t think I’m up to the job.”

In his later years, when Liang Rengong wrote the preface to the annual report of the Northeast Epidemic Prevention General Office, he wrote with extremely unusual praise: "Science has been introduced to people for 50 years, and the middle school can meet the world with the qualification of a scholar, Dr. Wu Xinglian - a person That's all!"

Throughout the half century from the Westernization Movement to the 20s, when China was in line with the world, there is only Wu Lien-teh who can truly be called an internationally famous scholar and make the world look up to Chinese scholars.

The Northeast Epidemic Prevention Headquarters established by him was a well-known international microbiology institution at that time. It not only occupied an international leading position in disease prevention, but also reached the world's advanced level in scientific research.It also made outstanding achievements in the prevention, control and treatment of cholera, ranking a leading position in the world, and was one of the top institutions in microbiology research in the world at that time.

Even Concord Hospital, one of the best hospitals in China, the first Chinese dean and the backbone of many departments were all trained by him.

So Cheng Nuo certainly wouldn't give up on such a person who was strong on his own and could cultivate talents.

Cheng Nuo asked, "Do you have any concerns, sir?"

Wu Lien-teh explained: "Zhiyuan, to tell you the truth, I think it is difficult to promote medicine with one's own strength, especially in the area of ​​prevention and control. The reason why the plague was quickly eradicated back then was because of the support of the local government. So he even directly stated that 'if anyone dares to escape, he will be killed immediately to prevent future troubles', and put it on us personally, who would dare or who has the power to dare to do so?"

Looking at the busy people outside the door, Wu Liande got up and closed the door, and continued: "To put it bluntly, Mr. Zhang's ability to control Tongzhou is greater than the actual power of the local magistrate, but when he encounters difficult patients , he doesn’t have the ability to do extreme things at all, but in troubled times use heavy codes, Zhiyuan, you should understand what I mean.”

The government is the same as the government, Cheng Nuo retorted: "Sir, do you think the current Beiyang government is much better than the original Qing government in terms of doing practical things?"

"That must be much better, at least." Wu Lien-teh just wanted to say one, two, three, four, but he thought that these warlords would not hesitate to smuggle opium in order to fight, put the people in dire straits, and abandoned the anti-smoking treaty he signed at the beginning. , is obviously the same as raccoon dogs.

Looking at Wu Lien-teh, whose face was full of ashes and defeats, Cheng Nuoxin said that he must be talking about it, and chased after the victory: "The strong habits of the officialdom, the backward management system, and the strict social hierarchy have created obstacles for the implementation of modern medicine. Going to make money, who cares about the life and death of the people at the bottom?"

After a pause, Cheng Nuo then added: "According to common sense, after we have learned the lesson of the plague, we must set up a central epidemic prevention office to coordinate the epidemic prevention and treatment plan. Sir, does the current Beiyang government have one?"

Under a series of questioning, Wu Lien-teh's confidence in the government just now was completely defeated. There is a plague in the Northeast, so there is a permanent epidemic prevention affairs headquarters in the three eastern provinces, but other places don't care. Is it really that safe?

Putting his head in his hands, Wu Lien-teh closed his eyes. They were all the doctors who died. It was because the officials at that time were dragging their feet. In addition, the medical level was not enough, and there was no special medicine to effectively cure pneumonic plague. The plague vaccine and immune serum that Wu Lien-teh had mastered could not save They are infected around them.

For this reason, he often wakes up at night, those smiling faces seem to be as vivid as yesterday.

After the plague, I wanted to apply for some funds from the public to spend on medical treatment. All the responses to him were cold, and no one was willing to lend a helping hand. Obviously "just now" I was still calling my brother and brother, and I was talking about marrying a few more concubines. No more than this.

Seeing that the stick is almost knocked out, it's time to give some sweet dates.

Cheng Nuo promised from the side: "Sir, as long as you come, I will never interfere with the specific work of the medical school. Whether it is running a hospital, taking back the sovereignty of the seaport quarantine, or promoting the anti-smoking campaign, I will support you behind the scenes. The door is also open to all kinds of funding, medical journals, medical education, medical publicity, etc., if you want to do it, you can do it boldly.”

Of course, these words were not aimless, they all precisely tickled Wu Liande's itch. Most of the things mentioned in the words were about his struggles in the second half of his life. After a set of words, he even felt that Cheng Nuo knew himself better than himself. .

Even though he was older, Cheng Nuo was much stronger in aura, and Wu Lien-teh couldn't help but believe in the magic power exuding from his body.

"Zhiyuan, aren't you lying to me?"

"Dr. Wu, I am not representing myself, but representing our Academy of Sciences. Dozens of people have extended invitations to you. Although we have different things here, we all have the same goal. It is for personal dreams. For the rejuvenation of the nation, for the prosperity and strength of the country, I wonder if you would like to join our team."

"I'm willing to try." Under the influence of this atmosphere, Wu Liande blurted out, and the burden accumulated on his body for a long time was instantly lightened.

The boss has already boarded the boat, and it is much easier for the other "little brothers" to persuade them, especially Yan Fuqing, the first Asian graduate of Yale Medical School, who has been carefully cared for by Cheng Nuo, and has also agreed to join the medical school. People from the Chinese Medical Association were hired, such as Yu Fengbin, Diao Xinde, Niu Huilin and others.

In fact, when Diao Xinde was found, he happened to be a member of the China Vocational Education Association, and Cheng Nuo was even more unambiguous about poaching a corner.

What about my own family, can that be called digging? They came here "voluntarily".

Over and over again, the team of the medical school directly surpassed other departments, ranking first in terms of numbers.

A trip to Shanghai is really worthwhile, and the Academy of Social Sciences is missing right now.

If I remember correctly, it seems that Zhang Taiyan is also in Shanghai, and it seems impossible not to go through it.
