Chapter 333 Smallpox in the Palace

When Qin Jiang said that Jia Cang kept a parrot at home, the way the two looked at Qin Jiang suddenly changed.

Because Qin Jiang's judgment was very accurate, Jia Cang did keep a parrot at home, and it was a macaw.

Although Jia Cang married Fu Chunhua, who was much younger than him, there was actually nothing wrong with Jia Cang's character. It could even be said that Jia Cang was a very principled man.

For a university professor like him, it is inevitable that there will be students who ask him for help through the backdoor.

Whether it is asking him to give some good guidance on the direction of the research project, or to give the students a break during the graduation defense, such a situation will happen.

So in order to prevent these students or their parents from catering to his preferences, Jia Cang always went between school and home, and he would not participate in any kind of learning or entertainment activities.

More importantly, Jia Cang would not reveal his personal preferences, so not many people, let alone his colleagues and students, even among his relatives and friends, knew that Jia Cang kept a parrot at home and liked parrots.

At this time, Jia Cang finally realized that Qin Jiang's medical skills were far better than he thought.

Fu Chunhua asked hurriedly, "Doctor Qin, is this psittacosis you mentioned a serious disease? Are there any special medicines now? As long as it can cure my husband, we are willing to pay for it no matter how much it costs."

Fu Chunhua's eyes were firm when she said this, and it was obvious that she really didn't want anything to happen to Jia Cang.

Although Jia Cang didn't say anything, his eyes were always fixed on Qin Jiang, and it was obvious that he was also very nervous.

Qin Jiang said calmly: "Parrot fever is not a very serious disease, it is just a more troublesome disease."

"The trouble with this disease is that its clinical symptoms are similar to those of acute pneumonia, so many doctors will use general drugs to treat it without knowing that you have psittacosis."

"But the result is that the effect is not significant, and it gives people the feeling that this is clearly pneumonia, but there is no way to cure it."

"But as long as we know now that you have psittacosis, it's very simple. We just need to prescribe the right medicine and don't worry about other things. The disease will naturally heal when the medicine takes effect."

After Qin Jiang finished speaking, he gestured to the two of them, indicating that they should wait here, and then he went into the pharmacy to get the medicine.

A few minutes later, Qin Jiang came out of the pharmacy with some Chinese medicine.

Qin Jiang handed the medicine to Fu Chunhua and said, "This is the Chinese medicine Qingmai Drink. You can think of it as a Chinese medicine health tea. Take it home and put one pack in a thermos cup and drink it while steeping. One pack a day, his parrot fever will be cured soon."

"If you have frequent contact with the parrot, you can also make a pack and drink it to enhance your immunity."

If other doctors prescribe health tea for them, they will only think that the doctor is not competent and is definitely a scammer.

But when Qin Jiang prescribed health tea for them, the couple were very happy.

It is not a complete Chinese medicine, but a health tea. What does this mean?
This shows that Jia Cang’s situation is indeed the same as Qin Jiang said, not that serious, and can be solved by drinking some health tea.

Seeing that the couple was still staring at him, Qin Jiang picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, then said calmly: "Why are you still standing there? Go back and make some water to drink." "Drink it for two days first, and his condition should improve significantly. If not, you can come back to me at any time. I can refund all your money to you, unconditionally, with video as proof."

After getting Qin Jiang's assurance, the couple finally felt relieved.

Fu Chunhua quickly said: "Okay, Doctor Qin, let's go back and make some water to drink. Thank you, Doctor Qin.

Watching the two people leaving, Liu Yan said, "This is the first time I've heard of parrot fever. Is there such a strange disease in medicine?"

Qin Jiang patiently explained: "Actually, this disease is not strange, it's just that you think the name is strange."

"Humans and animals live on the same planet, and humans are also a type of animal, so many diseases that animals suffer from can actually be contracted by humans. Humans have also made many medical achievements by using this special mechanism."

"Have you ever heard of smallpox?"

Liu Yan nodded.

"I know. Were emperors in ancient times prone to this disease?"

Qin Jiang smiled and said, "It's not that the emperor is prone to this disease, but that everyone is prone to it, because it is a very horrible infectious disease. Once one person in an area is infected, the disease is very likely to spread rapidly among the surrounding people."

"The palace is a relatively closed place. In addition, the palace maids and eunuchs are basically never treated as human beings. If they get sick, few doctors are willing to help them diagnose. Even if there are doctors, they can't afford the medicine."

"So most palace maids and eunuchs would choose to tough it out on their own after falling ill, hoping to survive with their own physical fitness. As a result, not only would their illness not be cured, but it would also be very likely to be transmitted to the people around them. In this way, a disease like smallpox could easily spread in the palace, and even infect the emperor."

After hearing what Qin Jiang said, Liu Yan suddenly realized and nodded.

In the past, she only knew that emperors were fragile and easily suffered from various diseases.

After listening to Qin Jiang's analysis, Liu Yan suddenly felt that with such a closed environment and management model of the palace, if you don't get sick, who will?
For various viruses, the forbidden area of ​​the imperial palace is simply the perfect petri dish.

Qin Jiang went on to say, "Even if the emperor got smallpox, he still received the best medical care in the entire country. But other ordinary people were not so lucky. In ancient times, the mortality rate of smallpox was very high. The mortality rate of those who got smallpox was as high as 70%. Such a high mortality rate made smallpox something that everyone was afraid of."

"Then the question is, have you heard of anyone getting smallpox now?"

Liu Yan thought about it carefully and it seemed that there really wasn't one.

Qin Jiang pointed to his arm and said, "The reason why no one among us has smallpox now is because we have been injected with smallpox immune virus vaccine since childhood, which is also called cowpox in some places."

"After being injected with this immune virus vaccine, our bodies will have antibodies against smallpox, so we will naturally not get smallpox again."
