Chapter 326 Chinese Medicine

Liu San met Dong Weiwei and gave her the medicine.All he made were the simplest medicines: ready-made prescriptions, made from local herbs that could be collected and processed.For ease of use, all are made into powders and pills.

"These are simple herbal medicines I made." Liu San handed many paper bags and wooden boxes in the basket to Dong Weiwei, "You know some Chinese medicine."

"I know a little bit." Dong Weiwei was a little embarrassed, "Actually, I have learned a little acupuncture, cupping, massage and so on. Because I can use it in fitness."

"Can you pulse?"

"Only know a little."

Liu San said: "In this case, you should read this "Barefoot Doctor's Handbook" first. There are many diagnosis and treatment methods for simple diseases. You don't have to rely on pulse diagnosis to make a decision—there are still more common diseases in rural areas. Some. This is "Diagnosis and Treatment of Common Diseases in Hainan" compiled by the Minister of Time, you should study it too."

"Okay, mastering some medical skills is very useful for carrying out work."

"Here are the medical alcohol, absorbent cotton, and cotton swabs you applied for..." Liu San took out a list, "These are the list of the medicines I prescribed and the applicable symptoms." Superficial medicine, anti-dampness medicine, laxative medicine, fire-clearing medicine, calming nerve medicine... However, the Chinese medicinal materials here are really not complete, and some of them cannot be matched. Some medicines on the prescription are easy to find, so I will only give you the prescription .

Liu San finally took out a small wooden box: "This is a gift from the Ministry of Health—the medicine box." He blinked, "There are still some things in it that are trial products."

Dong Weiwei opened it curiously, and besides the commonly used items, there was also a rough-looking homemade gauze mask—this was a new product.There is also a box containing a new set of simple surgical instruments.

"This thing is too important, is it a waste to give it to me, a layman..." Of course Dong Weiwei knew that surgical instruments were expensive.

"It's okay, it's from Lingao!" Liu San was satisfied when he saw her reaction, "Take it out and have a closer look."

"Is this made of copper?" Dong Wei asked in surprise.

"That's right, it's made of bronze," Liu San said. "To be honest, I didn't expect that the Medical Equipment Factory could make this thing. I heard that Jiang Ye from the Machinery Factory brought a few jewelry craftsmen recruited from Guangzhou together." Do it."

"It's so strong!" Dong Weiwei's eyes lit up.Looking at the table full of things, "The Ministry of Health is really amazing! This is a big help."

"I'm going to do disease control research in this area these days, and I can teach you simple medical skills by the way." Liu San is a pharmacist, but he has been trained in simple surgery in the hospital.

So Liu San began to practice medicine in Shisancun area, not only practicing medicine.Not only did they sit in the church, but they also used Dong Weiwei's visits to the village when she went to work.This has skyrocketed their popularity in the region.Liu San was very careful during his rounds, recording everything he saw and heard every day—he was also in charge of basic health investigations here.

When Liu San made his rounds to see a doctor, he deeply realized what it means to be "lack of doctors and medicines".People here know that there is still a profession called "doctor" in the world who treats diseases, but few people have enjoyed the diagnosis and treatment of a doctor, and even a wandering doctor with a bell and a medicine box on his back is rarely seen.Once I get sick, I wait for self-healing, and sometimes I use some earthwork that I don’t know if it is useful.Various infectious diseases, chronic diseases, and parasitic diseases are rampant; infant and child and maternal mortality rates are high, and women's diseases are very common.Dong Weiwei was also a woman, so she especially sympathized with this.It was suggested several times that it is not to strengthen a few professional nurses to come here.

Liu San didn't care much about this aspect. Bairen didn't have enough medical staff, and there was a shortage of medicines. How could they send someone?Furthermore, practicing medicine is not his main business, and he pays more attention to collecting various folk earthworks during his rounds.Regardless of whether it is useful or not, when encountering earthworks, he will carefully copy them down, and then finalize the medicines on the earthworks one by one.He won't let go of even the most absurd earthwork.He also collected a lot of prescriptions one after another.

On this day, he was attending a clinic in the ancestral hall and saw many patients.Some of them had medicines to distribute, so he gave several medicines, and some didn’t, so he had to give vice licorice—purely a placebo.Fortunately, it's good for the common people to have a doctor's opinion, not to mention that he doesn't take a penny, so he doesn't care too much.After a busy morning, I was taking a rice ball out to eat, when suddenly someone shouted outside: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, is the doctor there?"

Hearing the voice, Liu San knew that a critical patient must be coming, so he hurriedly shouted: "Stand, come in!"

Several men came in from outside and brought a patient.

"Put it on the board and wait for me to look at it." He ordered and walked over.

The patient was an eleven or twelve-year-old boy. His facial muscles were constantly convulsed, his teeth were closed tightly, and he looked like a "wry smile". His throat was convulsed, and he had difficulty breathing.Liu San was taken aback when he saw it—this is a typical tetanus symptom.

"What about the trauma?"

The man who carried him in hurriedly pointed to his feet, which were wrapped in a dirty rag, and Liu San tore them off. There was a deep wound in front of his eyes, and he asked the accompanying person, who knew it was a rake. Teeth poked.This is all the more certain.

"This is tetanus!" Liu San's face was serious. Looking at the patient's appearance, the toxin had already begun to attack.Once tetanus attacks, it is quite dangerous even in a modern hospital.Not to mention that he was empty-handed, and he didn't even have hydrogen peroxide for cleaning the wound, let alone tetanus serum.

"Doctor, please take a look at my child." The middle-aged man who brought him in begged bitterly, and then several women, old and young, knelt in front of him—probably his family members—weeping.

"Not busy," Liu San regained his composure, and quickly passed through the treatment prescriptions of traditional Chinese medicine in his mind.He immediately issued a prescription, "Get the medicine right away! There is still time!"

The person who received the prescription looked helpless, Liu San had been here for a long time, and knew that the people here were extremely poor, and taking medicine was simply a fantasy for many people.He quickly took out his private seal and stamped it on the prescription.

"Go to the crude medicine shop in the county right now and give them the prescription!" The shopkeeper of this drug shop is very familiar with Liu San because he has a lot of contacts, so it is no problem to ask them to lend a few medicines on credit.

The middle-aged man wanted to kneel and kowtow, and Liu San ordered: "Go quickly! It's too late!" Then he shouted to the crowd crowded aside: "Get out, get out, what are you doing?" Tetanus patients Needs to be quiet, free from irritation.He thought for a while, it would be best to sterilize his wound right now, there is no hydrogen peroxide, so he had to use potassium permanganate - this thing is quite precious now, there is not much in the medicine box.Just as he was thinking, Dong Weiwei came in.

"Doctor Liu, let's go eat, today I made fried rice noodles—" She was shocked when she saw the child lying on the door panel, which was constantly convulsing.

"Tetanus!" Liu San explained, "You have to help me."

"Okay, okay." Dong Weiwei hurriedly put on the green cloth gown on the wall. She didn't have a white gown, but since Liu San came, she followed his advice and put on a gown, mask and hat whenever she went to see a doctor. .

"Move him to a quiet place first. The patient cannot be stimulated." For the convenience of seeing a doctor, all the doors and windows are opened here, and the light is very bright

"Move to the east wing of the church. No one lives there." Dong Weiwei immediately found two soldiers to help carry him to the east wing.Liu San asked someone to paste paper on the window again.Make the room as dark as possible.

"Mix 1:1000 potassium permanganate solution! Hurry up!" Liu San observed the wound, which was covered with a lot of dirt.Ironware, rakes, and farmland, it's no wonder that the combination of these three elements can't cause tetanus.

Dong Weiwei frantically took out the bottle containing potassium permanganate from the medicine box, and found an enamel basin and clear water, and suddenly she asked, "Oops! There is no measuring cup or scale!"

"Put one down first, then add water slowly, and pay attention to the color of the solution!" Liu San said, "Light red is almost the same, and purple is too strong."

After preparing the solution, he debrides the wound first, and then rinses it continuously with potassium permanganate solution.The child twitched from time to time on the door panel.Dong Weiwei hurried up to help hold it down.

"It's okay, look at his tongue coating, is it yellow or rough?"

Dong Weiwei used a tongue depressor to pry his tightly closed teeth open with great difficulty.

"no!"

"How's your body temperature, do you have a fever?"

"I have a fever." Dong Weiwei touched his forehead, "Do you want to use a thermometer?"

"How's the sweat going?"

"Sweating, but not profusely."

Liu San looked at his complexion again, and there was no terrible purple color, which meant that the disease had not yet entered the second stage - Chinese medicine called "wind poison enters the interior", and the possibility of success with Chinese medicine treatment was relatively high.The mood relaxes a little.

"No need," he said, "this child's current stage is called 'wind poison in Xiang' in traditional Chinese medicine, and he is still in the initial stage. Take his pulse, what pulse?"

Dong Weiwei knew that he was taking this opportunity to teach himself Chinese medicine diagnosis.I touched it with my fingers for a while, then said hesitantly: "I don't know much about it, but it feels like pulse strings."

"This shows that his illness is still very serious." It depends on the speed of taking the medicine.Liu San said, "If you hurry up, you can make a round trip in about half a day. This child will probably survive."

Dong Weiwei looked at the child, he was thin and small, with ragged clothes.Immediately, compassion arose: "Actually, doesn't Bairen General Hospital have serum? Get it and give him an injection."

"Hehe," Liu San laughed strangely, "there's only so much tetanus serum in total, and I've used a lot of it after D-day. I have to save it for my own use."

"I don't care about one." Of course Dong Weiwei knew the value of serum.

"A single blood serum can save a life, who do you think will be saved?"

Dong Weiwei was speechless, this question was too cruel and realistic.

"So now I want to seize every opportunity to try Chinese medicine therapy." Liu San opened the wound without covering it and suturing it. "The serum will be used up one day, and then we will all rely on herbal medicine."

Then Dong Weiwei performed acupuncture on the patient under his guidance to curb the spasm reaction.

In the middle of the night, the medicine was finally caught.Liu San personally ground the medicine into fine powder, sieved it, mixed it, fed it to the patient with hot wine, and then spread the medicine on the wound.

"This is an improvement based on a traditional prescription called Yuzhensan." Liu San handed the prescription to Dong Weiwei, "You can study it. Tetanus is a disease that is often encountered here. If you master these, it will be easy to deal with it." gone."

In this way, he took medicine and applied medicine every day, and Liu San took care of him to replenish salt water regularly. After a few days, his condition has greatly improved, and the convulsions and stiffness disappeared.Liu San was encouraged—in the past, he only knew that tetanus could also be treated with traditional Chinese medicine, but he had never seen an example. This case in front of him doubled his confidence.At least one disease that threatens the future health of the time travel group has been treated accordingly.He hurriedly sorted out the whole treatment process, including pulse case, prescription, medication and various treatment methods and measures used.In this way, it can be used as a standard medical case template to teach future doctors.

Seeing that the child was getting better day by day, because he saved his life, Liu San's affection for him was very different. .I often go to the ward to see him and talk.Liu San learned a little Lingao dialect in order to gather herbs and treat illnesses for activities in the county, so it wasn't too difficult to communicate.

After chatting, he knew that the child's surname was Fu—Liu San knew that "Fu" was a common surname in Lingao, and there were many people with surnames, regardless of whether they were rich or poor, high or low.As for the name, there is no name at all, not even the names of Gousheng, Shishi, etc. The fourth child is called Fu Sinan.

Although Fu Sinan claims to be the fourth child, he is actually the second child at home.Eleven or 12 years old this year.Two of the previous three older brothers died before the age of 15.He has three living siblings.Like most of the people here, Fu Siman's family is poor. He lives in a house with bamboo walls and a thatched roof.Generally speaking, it is a standard specimen of the evil peasants in the old society.

After Liu San talked with him for a few days, he found that this child was very good at gardening—he was responsible for cleaning up the garden where his family grew vegetables, and he had a personality that was rarely seen here and was willing to communicate with others. Based on Liu San's experience: people in this time and space are generally dull gourds, basically either ask and answer, or simply roll their eyes and don't speak.

Having such a child who is good at expressing and communicating makes Liu San feel in a good mood.Thinking of the executive committee's call for everyone to "bring apprentices", and that he is good at gardening and planting, it will be of great help to my own medicine planting.Liu San asked:

"Are you literate?"

"I don't know." Fu Sinan shook his head.

"Want to read?"

"No money to learn..."

"Well, how about you and my apprentice? I will become a doctor in the future."
