Giant of Light: I am the Old Ones

Chapter 361 Blood Therapy
Amanda arrived at the so-called alchemy shop and knocked on the door.

The Alchemy Department and the Chemistry Department of the college are actually similar. Many courses are common, and the Alchemy Department does not have all kinds of weird magic that can turn stone into gold as in the legend.

Compared with the chemistry major's exploration of microscopic reactions between various substances, the alchemy major is more about exploring ways to mix different substances and materials under macroscopic conditions to prepare new substances with certain purposes.

After graduating from the alchemy department, you can obtain an alchemy license. Because alchemists in ancient and medieval times often served as village doctors, many effective alchemy recipes for medical use have been handed down.After obtaining an alchemy license, you can carry out medical activities within a certain range and relieve the medical pressure in various places.

Compared with the church doctors who sing hymns for a while before treating you, and then talk to you about life.Alchemists who don't talk much are already brewing medicine for you, and they don't cost much, so for a certain period of time, people prefer to seek treatment from alchemists.

Of course, the self-judgment of seeking treatment from an alchemist is very important.For ordinary bruises or minor illnesses, there is no difference between going to an alchemist or a clinic, and even the medicines prescribed by both are the same.

When it comes to conditions that require surgery or long-term treatment, people will choose hospitals.

However, when encountering some diseases that cannot be treated by existing medical technology, people will turn to various folk remedies and even alchemists for help, even if they only get some drugs that simply relieve pain.

Sometimes, alchemists can also deal with diseases caused by pollution. Alchemists who graduate from the academy are usually exposed to the concept of pollution.

As for the behavior of tainted diseases, it confuses people into thinking that those incurable diseases are problems that the alchemist can deal with.In fact, they are simply suffering from a disease that cannot be solved by current medical technology.

"It's almost eleven o'clock. We won't accept guests anymore. You can come back tomorrow."

An old voice came from inside the portal, and the voice was a little impatient.

No guests?
Amanda said slowly: "I'm looking for Mr. James Warren. I heard that he can solve some difficult and complicated diseases. I am not a customer who buys alchemical mixture, but a patient."

"This voice, grandpa, is the distinguished guest I told you about. The newspapers he bought from me today are enough for my week's salary."

From inside came the voice of little James, who shared the same name as his grandfather.

squeak-

The somewhat worn door was opened, Amanda could smell some wet rust, and the hinges holding it in place were rusty.

The porch is very short, and inside is a somewhat messy counter. James is sorting out the containers behind it. A smell similar to that of a pharmacy counter, but with a cold smell slowly flows out.

Compared to the pleasant and even pleasant smell of a simple pharmacy, the smell of the ingredients in the alchemy counter is a bit frowned upon.

The compartments of these containers are all transparent, and their own glassware or special storage bottles are placed inside to contain those materials.

The finished alchemical mixture is placed on the table in front. It seems that the packaging is a bit crude and the age is a bit old. It seems that it is just for display, or this first-level alchemist has not sold many products at all in his job.

"Come for treatment? For the sake of your generosity, I won't charge you any money."

The old man Warren slowly walked out of the inner room, put on his white coat, sat in front of the counter, and motioned for Amanda to sit down.

"If you are willing, I hope to take some of your blood samples to confirm your blood type." The old man said calmly, with a gentle tone, showing a trace of fatigue, "But don't worry, it's not the ancient bloodletting. The therapy, just some blood tests, the same as in the hospital."

Amanda was a little curious. Does this era already have concepts like blood routine?
Warren explained: "The hospital needs to confirm your blood type and register your medical record to prevent you from not having enough reserves when you need a blood transfusion. And I also need to confirm whether you have any infectious diseases. Blood is the most likely to spread serious infectious diseases. Bodily fluids, I met many dignitaries who came to me for treatment with syphilis, but most of them claimed that it was just a skin disease. Fortunately, I was cautious and was not infected."

Amanda asked Omega, who said that Amanda's blood was normal. Although he was a descendant of the R'lyeh people, those recessive characteristics were at the genetic level and could not be confirmed with current observation methods.

Black Cat also said that unless it was contaminated by a priest who clearly pointed to R'lye, Amanda's blood was a normal human's blood no matter how you looked at it.

After getting assurances from Omega and the black cat, Amanda stretched out her hand.

"Safe and hygienic blood collection equipment." The old man said as he took out a well-packaged blood collection tube from the tool box. With a slight sting, a few drops of bright red blood were retained in the diluent of the blood collection tube.

"Tell me, what problem did you encounter?" The old man put away the blood collection equipment, connected the blood collection tube to a sampling bottle, injected it, and observed the blood beads unfolding in the diluent.

Amanda took out the issue of the newspaper that recorded the blood thirst syndrome from her arms. Her expression did not change and she began to lie: "I have a distant relative who is a worker in a water pump factory. He has a symptom called blood thirst syndrome. I am in When I was visiting relatives before, the guy got sick and bit me. Although it was nothing serious, when I came back to Britain this time, I always felt a little irritable in my mind. I suspected it might be an early symptom of blood thirst, and I hope it can be solved as soon as possible. This question, instead of waiting for those diseases to turn me into a flesh-eating lunatic."

When the old man heard this, he laughed and said:

"Don't worry, you're not the first person I've received who thought he was infected by blood thirst. Since the factory improved its production verification, there has never been a large-scale outbreak of the disease. Moreover, that thing is not contagious. , the more the attacked human beings recall their old place, the more angry and emotionally unstable they will feel. Go to the clinic to find some tranquilizers, you are still young, and the alchemical mixture has some side effects, so it is not suitable for you."

Amanda raised her eyebrows and said smoothly: "Well, sir, I'm curious, have you ever received a real patient with blood thirst? There may be no new patients now, but if the past patients can be cured, let's If my relative returns to normal, maybe I won't have those irritable emotions and won't feel uncomfortable every time I think about it."

The old man also became interested and said: "I did receive one. I even investigated it for a while and tried many methods. Among them, blood therapy with blood transfusion is the most effective, replacing the blood of normal people with the blood of patients. . However, this method cannot cure the problem. Many problems cannot be solved by medicine and alchemy. The factory compensates them with enough money, and they can stay sane most of the time, which is enough."
