Lady Wan Guan

Chapter 212 Missing the slightest bit

Jiang Wanning left the Chengnan quarantine area after strict disinfection. She only had one day and had to come back after dark.

Along the way, the officers and soldiers who were clearing the way in front and escorting behind were far away from her, and a carriage was moving alone in the middle.

This scene looks a little funny and a little sad.

When they arrived at Xuanyifang, Dr. Mei was already waiting at the checkpoint.

"Mr. Jiang, I've been waiting for you to come, but I really have no choice. I can't find the reason. Patients die every day."

Imperial Doctor Mei is really anxious. If the situation continues to be out of control, the consequences will be disastrous.

The instinct to survive can make people lose their minds.

Yesterday, some residents in the community started to redeem their cards.

Jiang Wanning said: "I have read your medical records. The patients here are the same as mine. There is no reason for the same prescriptions and the same symptoms, but the treatment results are very different."

"That's right. I can't figure it out either. I'm so anxious that my mouth is full of tears."

Dr. Mei led Jiang Wan Ning to the isolation center. When they arrived at the door, they saw three corpses being carried out.

Jiang Wan Ning's heart was heavy.

After entering, we immediately started seeing a doctor.

After seeing a dozen patients, Jiang Wan Ning was also confused. When she came, she had a suspicion that the pox virus here had mutated, and there were some subtle differences that Imperial Doctor Mei had not diagnosed.

Now it seems that the pox virus is still the same pox virus, and Dr. Mei's diagnosis is correct.

Then, the most likely problem is the medicinal materials.

"Take me to the pharmacy."

Dr. Mei took her to the pharmacy again.

There were twenty stoves in the pharmacy, and the two doctors had to prepare medicines, boil medicines, and watch the heat. They were so busy that they couldn't spare any time to talk to anyone.

Jiang Wan Ning walked straight to a pile of medicinal materials. The medicinal materials were all packed in gunny bags. When dispensing the medicine, she grabbed the medicine directly from the gunny bags.

Jiang Wan Ning checked each sack one by one.

There's no problem with cohosh, there's no problem with forsythia husks, there's no problem with hamster silkworms...

Only when the licorice was detected, Jiang Wanning picked up a piece of licorice and put it into his mouth. It had a slightly sweet taste.

"Mei Yuyi, haven't you ever thought that the problem lies in the medicinal materials?"

"Ah? You can't. These medicinal materials are all handled by the Imperial Hospital." Imperial Physician Mei was surprised.

"But the problem lies precisely in this licorice, try it."

Dr. Mei picked up a piece of licorice and tasted it, uh...

"This is licorice."

"Yes, it's Zhigancao. Although raw licorice and Zhigancao both have the effects of strengthening the spleen, replenishing qi, and harmonizing the body, raw licorice has not been fried and has a cold nature and flavor. It is more focused on clearing away heat and detoxifying, and can clear out blood poisoning. It can cause poisonous heat, but Zhigancao does not have this effect. The difference between the two medicines greatly reduces the effectiveness of the entire prescription. Therefore, after the patient's toxicity is stimulated, the poisonous heat cannot be eliminated... and naturally the patient will not be cured."

Imperial Doctor Mei slapped herself hard in annoyance.

Damn it, why didn't he think of checking the medicinal materials?

So many people were killed by him.

Jiang Wanning did not comfort him. As an experienced doctor, so many people had died one after another, so it was necessary to check the medicinal materials, but he just neglected it. She had to come all the way to discover the problem.

Dr. Mei has an unshirkable responsibility.

But the greater responsibility lies with the Royal Hospital and the medicinal material suppliers.

Her prescription clearly says "raw licorice", don't you recognize the word "raw"? Who gave them the courage to use licorice instead?

"Mei Imperial Physician, please report immediately and ask for raw licorice to be sent to control the condition as soon as possible." Jiang Wanning reminded.

Dr. Mei was busy writing applications. "Wait a minute, the Royal Hospital is moving too slowly. I have some raw licorice. I'll ask someone to bring it." Jiang Wanning thought of the virtues of the Royal Hospital and didn't dare to count on them. Saving people now is like putting out fires.

So Jiang Wanning asked the officers and soldiers who sent her to go to Sanxitang to find Mr. Wen and ask Mr. Wen to send a batch of raw licorice.

Jiang Wan Ning came back less than an hour after leaving.

Gu Zhouting was surprised: "Have you found the problem?"

"Ok!"

Gu Zhouting: Uh...

This was too fast. It took more than half an hour to go back and forth. In other words, it only took her less than half an hour to find the crux of the problem.

"What's the reason?"

"The Royal Hospital was supposed to send licorice, but what they sent was zhi licorice. Just one word difference, it's not the same medicinal material."

As the saying goes, a slight difference can make a difference a thousand miles.

Gu Zhouting was speechless.

What does the Imperial Hospital do for food? To make such a stupid mistake.

"Then we need to replace it with licorice quickly."

"I've sent someone to Sanxitang. I have it there."

Gu Zhouting almost forgot that Jiang Wanning was also a supplier of medicinal materials.

Back at the isolation facility, Dr. Lu also came to care. Hearing that raw licorice had been replaced with roasted licorice, Dr. Lu was speechless.

In the Royal Hospital, even a handyman is very familiar with the medicinal properties of herbs. Who is in charge of it?

This guy is literally killing people.

"Doctor Mei must feel bad, right?" Dr. Lu sympathized.

"Well, I'm very upset, but he does have an unshirkable responsibility."

Dr. Lu said: "Master Jiang, actually, most of the doctors in the Imperial Hospital have never experienced such a large-scale epidemic. The last epidemic outbreak in the capital was more than a hundred years ago, so everyone is very panicked. It's hard to cover everything, and there are really very few people as calm and calm as you. Dr. Mei is devoted to medicine, and he is a die-hard. He preconceptions that it is a pathological problem, so it is difficult to think of anything else. "

Jiang Wanning was silent for a long time, feeling that what Dr. Lu said made sense.

Others are not her. She is a person who has experienced life and death. She can be calm and calm when things happen, and she can look down upon life and death.

She cannot hold others to her own standards.

It can be seen from Dr. Mei's medical records that Dr. Mei is very caring and responsible for her patients.

"Afterwards, I will speak for him." Jiang Wanning said.

Doctor Lu bowed his head and said, "Thank you, sir."

He has worked with Lao Mei for more than ten years and knows Lao Mei's character. He really doesn't want to see Lao Mei be held accountable for a moment of negligence.

When word of the mistake in the medicine reached the imperial hospital, Zhang Yuan envoy was furious and hurried to his nephew's house to question his nephew Zhang Jin.

"What's wrong with you? Why did you replace raw licorice with roasted licorice without permission?"

Zhang Jin disagreed: "There's not much difference between these two medicinal materials. Raw licorice is out of stock, so I'm using roasted licorice to top it. The roasted licorice is a bit more expensive, but I didn't increase the price. What's wrong?"

Zhang Yuan was so angry that his sides ached, and he gritted his teeth: "Is there not much of a difference? Who told you that there is not much of a difference? I have asked you to read more medical books, but you are uneducated and incompetent. Do you know that just because you have done so without permission? Zhi licorice was replaced, and that batch of medicinal materials happened to be sent to Xuanyifang, which resulted in the death of dozens of people in Xuanyifang. If this matter is not handled well, not to mention that you will be accused, even the black gauze hat on my head will be removed. Lose."

Zhang Jin was stunned: "Is it so serious? Then... what should I do now? Should I find a scapegoat and say that he sent the wrong medicinal ingredients?"

Zhang Jin also panicked.
