ancient female doctor

Chapter 123 The Epidemic (VIII)

Seeing that all the well-known folk doctors with their eyes above the top turned pale with anger, the military doctor in the tent felt very relieved at first, but then began to smile bitterly.

"Doctor Xia, these people are gone, what should we do next? To tell you the truth, Doctor Xia, if you let us deal with a knife wound or bone injury in our group, it's fine, but this plague... We really can't do anything." Chen Bensheng looked at Qingzhu and said with a wry smile.

"That's right, if they go to King Ning to file a complaint, we will be in trouble." A military doctor echoed.

"If they don't leave, it will be really troublesome if they tell us what to do next. As for complaining to King Ning, King Ning will probably make peace with him. Don't think that King Ning trusts them now, but in his heart, I'm afraid it's still We military doctors are more important, and I think these people should understand, so they are mostly waiting to see our jokes, and the rest, you don’t have to worry.” Qingzhu looked at the remaining people in the medical account, and said with a smile.

"Then it depends on Doctor Xia."

Everyone in the tent thought about it, and they all felt that what Qingzhu said was very true, and they all said to Qingzhu politely.

"I don't dare to do it, I need the help of all senior colleagues." Qing Zhu also said politely to everyone.

"That's what it should be. Doctor Xia just said what we should do." The doctor in the tent said.

"Yes."

Qingzhu told the people in the tent the prescriptions for curing malaria. After listening to the previous prescriptions, everyone praised them quite a bit. The magnolia officinalis, betel nut, and grass fruit can drive away the evil poison in the body, and the scutellaria baicalensis clears dryness and heat. In addition, Huoxiang and pinellia regulate the spleen, ginger relieves dampness, and licorice harmonizes various medicines.

Although those present are not good at internal medicine and seasonal diseases, they also know that this prescription is good.

However, Artemisia annua is used as medicine, and it is still the most important medicine for curing diseases, which is unheard of by everyone.

"Mr. Xia, we all know that Artemisia annua is used as medicine, but Artemisia annua is no different from weeds. Can it really perform miraculous work?" Chen Bensheng cupped his hands at the green bamboo, and asked the military doctors what they were wondering.

"Yes." Qing Zhu nodded, and said with a smile: "There was a record of using Artemisia annua to treat malaria in the early dynasty, but later generations misunderstood it, and everyone thought that Artemisia annua was sweet wormwood. It didn't work at all, and later everyone thought that this record was wrong. Qingzhu once tried it with Artemisia sativa, and it was quite successful, so they thought it was true, but they didn't know why, but they passed Artemisia annua as Fragrant Artemisia .”

"Is there really such a record?" Chen Bensheng looked at Qingzhu and asked.

These days, everyone cherishes themselves with their brooms, and the occasional medical book handed down is also cherished by others.However, there are specialists in surgery, and most of what military doctors come into contact with are orthopedics, traumatology, sores, carbuncles, boils and other surgical classics, so Chen Bensheng asked this question.

"There is indeed such a record." Qingzhu nodded, and said: "Qingzhu is lucky. He has read many medical classics, among which is the elbow reserve emergency prescription written by the senior Guo Hong in the Jin Dynasty. Among them, No. 16 is the prescription for treating cold and fever In the book, there is such a record. It is recorded in the book that a handful of Artemisia annua is soaked in two liters of water, twisted to get the juice, and consumed. The reason why Qingzhu affirms that Artemisia annua in the book is Artemisia annua is really a coincidence. "

"What kind of coincidence?" Chen Bensheng looked at Qingzhu and asked.

"At that time, Qingzhu was still a young female doctor in Daqing Mountain. When she was practicing medicine, she met a malaria patient. The family was poor and could not afford expensive medicinal materials. Qingzhu had to treat it with Artemisia annua. After three days, the patient died. He didn't see the slightest effect, and he couldn't bear to let the poor family decline further due to the disease, so he boldly tried it with bitter wormwood, but he did a miracle. The man took the medicine for half a day, and his illness improved, and after two days, it was even worse. Great. At this point, Qingzhu knows that the Artemisia annua mentioned in the book refers to Artemisia annua, not Artemisia annua."

What Qingzhu said is of course not the truth, but otherwise, these people will not believe it, and they cannot tell them that someone in the later generations extracted artemisinin from bitter wormwood, which is a good way to restrain malaria.

"Mr. Xia has sufferings in his heart, and he can think of the patients himself. He is really a role model for us." Hearing Qingzhu's description, Chen Bensheng couldn't help but respect him, looking at Qingzhu and said sincerely.

No matter which dynasty or generation, doctors who can understand the sufferings of the poor and rack their brains to effectively treat diseases with the least consumption of medicinal materials can be called good doctors and virtuous doctors.

Chen Bensheng asked himself that he would not be able to do something like Qingzhu, so he naturally admired it in his heart.

"Qingzhu is ashamed, it's just that her family was poor since she was a child, and she is only saving others by herself." Qingzhu's shame is really ashamed, she is very embarrassed for making up such a story to win people's respect.

But in fact, it’s not a story, it’s just changing the disease or something. When I was practicing medicine at the foot of Daqing Mountain, for those poor patients, most of Qingzhu only charged the medicine fee but not the consultation fee, and even the medicine fee They only charge the principal, and most of the medicinal materials they dig themselves are free of charge, and the medicines are cheap and can cure diseases, so they can use whatever medicines.

So even though she has practiced medicine for several years, she has little savings except for what she earned from a few big families and the first precious medicinal materials.

"Military doctor Xia deserves this honor." Looking at Qingzhu's shyness, a military doctor agreed.

Qingzhu refused, and quickly said: "Seniors and colleagues, stop praising Qingzhu, Qingzhu will be ashamed. Let's hurry up and prepare medicinal materials to treat the sick in the army."

"Extremely extreme, we'd better hurry up. If you slow down for a moment, you will suffer another moment in the army. If someone dies because of it, we will be like the doctor Xia said, the doctor will become the ecstasy Yan Luo's helping the executioner." Chen Bensheng walked out of the medical tent first as he said.

All the military doctors and medical soldiers of King Ning's army were mobilized for a while, and countless green medicinal juices were squeezed out, sent to the mouths of the sick soldiers, and fed.

Another steady stream of bitter wormwood was sent from the Hongzhuang camp and the prince's left army. In the end, even King Ning ordered to collect bitter wormwood for use in the army.

In just a few days, most of the sick soldiers in the army recovered. Except for a few seriously ill soldiers who still needed observation and treatment, most of the sick soldiers returned to the battalions.

The famous local doctors who were invited by King Ning to the army went from watching coldly to being shocked. None of them thought that Kuhao, who was abandoned like nothing by himself and others, could really achieve such a miracle. Starting from the first person, slowly these The famous doctors put down their bodies and began to ask Qing Zhu for advice seriously.

Although Qingzhu had disdain for these people before, but when she found out that these people were sincerely asking for advice, she did not hide any secrets at all. She gave each prescription and analysis of each disease tactfully, making everyone ashamed and at the same time , and secretly grateful.

At the same time, King Ning formally adopted Qingzhu's proposal, and strictly ordered the soldiers to drink raw water, and piles of mosquito repellent medicines were smoked up, and the entire King Ning military camp was filled with a reassuring fragrance of medicine.

With the eradication of the epidemic, King Ning's army's fighting spirit was rekindled, and the calls for storming Qingzhou Mansion became louder day by day.
