Chapter 118 The truth is revealed
Chinese medicine emphasizes that the treatment must be diagnosed and differentiated in person. For the same disease, different people will give different medicines. Du Wenhao's medicine was only a combination of medicines decided after the clinical diagnosis and syndrome differentiation of several people in the hall at that time.

In different development stages of pneumonic plague, TCM syndrome differentiation is completely different, so the medication is also different, and accurate medication must be clinically diagnosed.

(The book review area is debating whether Chinese medicine is useful, and whether Chinese medicine can treat the plague. Lao Mu wants to make two digressions here: There have been many large-scale plague epidemics in the history of the world, and tens of millions of people have been taken away from Europe for this. human life.

Although large-scale plague epidemics have also occurred in China's history, the death toll is far lower than that of Europe and other countries. In the prevention and treatment of plague, Chinese medicine's syndrome differentiation and treatment are indispensable!

Traditional Chinese medicine has long recognized severe infectious diseases such as plague, and classic medical techniques such as the "Huangdi Neijing" also have records of treatment prescriptions. Many proven prescriptions for the treatment of plague have appeared in successive dynasties.Although for a long time in Chinese history, doctors did not recognize the cause of the plague.

However, since TCM is characterized by syndrome differentiation and treatment, simply speaking, it is based on the patient's symptoms to sum up what "syndrome" belongs to, and then choose the classic prescription according to this "syndrome". This is different from Western medicine. Illness and then medicine.

The diagnosis and treatment characteristics of Chinese medicine can be said to be constant and respond to all changes. No matter how the disease changes, Chinese medicine has a way to deal with it. Therefore, there is a famous saying in Chinese medicine that "there are only unknown diseases in the world, and there are no incurable diseases." This is the truth. .

In many cases, the diseases that Chinese medicine cannot cure are not because Chinese medicine is not good, but because the basic skills of the doctor are not solid, the syndrome differentiation is not accurate, and the medical skills are not good.

Of course, one of the important reasons is that the abstraction and unquantifiable nature of TCM syndrome differentiation makes it difficult to quickly and accurately grasp TCM diagnostic methods, which is also the reason why TCM is difficult to learn and master.

As a book friend said: Learning Western medicine in your early 20s will cure many diseases, but learning Chinese medicine in your early 40s may not know how to treat many diseases. This is the reason. )
Lin Qingdai said: "You can't do it alone, we can mobilize the doctors in the city to come to the free clinic!"

Du Wenhao said happily: "Well, that's a good idea! After you go back, you suggest that Zhuangzhi County ask Dr. Qiu from the Yamen Medical Bureau to organize doctors from all over the city to form two medical teams to treat patients inside and outside the city respectively. Diagnosis and differentiation is the only way to use medicines accurately, and these experienced doctors may be able to come up with better prescriptions than mine."

"Dr. Qiu? Don't mention it. He's scared to death now, hiding at home and not daring to come out. Let's call him Hantou, at least he has the prestige of his master, Miracle Doctor Qian."

"Organizing a medical team not only depends on prestige, but also requires the financial support of the Yamen government!"

Assistant Professor Tang on the side said: "Medical Officer Du, let me go! I will handle this matter."

Du Wenhao had a good impression of this assistant teacher, nodded and said:
"It's hard work for you! Remember, let all the doctors wear isolation suits and gas masks, and then treat them. The doctors can't get sick, or everyone will be finished.

In addition, when you go back, you must immediately report to the county magistrate, saying that it has been verified that there is indeed a plague in Liujiawan, and ask him to report it to Fucheng immediately with [-] miles, requesting that the entire epidemic area be sealed off to prevent further spread.

At the same time, they requested the allocation of anti-epidemic and disaster-relief materials such as medicinal materials and tents, and dispatched medical officers and medical teams into the affected areas to rescue patients and disinfect the affected areas. "

Although Assistant Professor Tang is Du Wenhao's leader, it is reasonable for Du Wenhao not to direct him to do anything, but he also knows that Du Wenhao is good at Hua Tuo's magical skills, and he was a little in awe of him at first, and he also knew that Pang Xianwei promised his daughter to him. He, and Zhuangzhi County, seem to take good care of him, which shows that Du Wenhao has a strong background. In addition, the handling of the epidemic this time made Assistant Professor Tang admire Du Wenhao's decisiveness, and immediately agreed: "Okay." of!"

Du Wenhao said to Lin Qingdai and Pang Yuqin:

"The epidemic situation is very serious now, and the patients outside the city must be stabilized. If they flee in all directions, the plague will spread to other places. The only way to stabilize them is to provide medical treatment and temporary housing. We have five flavors on this Gotta do something."

Lin Qingdai nodded and said, "Well, then let's give free medicine to the free clinic. This is also an opportunity to expand the reputation of our Wuweitang."

Pang Yuqin also nodded.

Du Wenhao said: "That's right! Heal diseases and save people, expand fame, benefit oneself and others, kill two birds with one stone, let's do it! Sister Qingdai, when you enter the city later, contact other pharmacies to see if they are willing to deliver medicines for free. "

"Okay, Xu Sihai's Renyitang is hard to say, I think other pharmacies will do the same."

Du Wenhao flew on his horse, stood up and shouted to the people around: "Listen everyone, our Wuweitang has decided to provide free medical treatment for patients outside the city! Free medicine for treatment! So please don't panic and wait patiently! It will be delivered soon!"

As soon as this remark came out, it won a round of cheers.

At this moment, someone shouted loudly from the city tower: "The county magistrate asked Mr. Du and his party to cross the suspension bridge and enter the city! The rest of the people who are good at crossing the bridge will be shot on the spot!"

It was the county captain Pang who heard the voice!

Pang Yuqin shouted excitedly: "Father! We are here!——Let's go in quickly."

She was wearing a gas mask, so her voice couldn't get through, and the commotion below couldn't be heard from the tower.

Du Wenhao said: "You go to the city immediately! I will treat patients outside."

Pang Yuqin said anxiously: "We want to enter, everyone enters together!"

"No! There are hundreds of patients outside. Once I leave, they will lose hope! I have to stay and stabilize their emotions!"

"Then I'll stay too! I want to be with you!"

If this sentence was normal, Pang Yuqin would not be able to say it even if she was beaten to death, but the experience of life and death this day made her feel that life is so fragile, and she doesn't know when people will die. When a person cures a disease, his heart is agitated, and these words come out of his mouth.

Du Wenhao's heart warmed, he stretched out his hand, and held her hand tightly: "That's good! You stay with me! ——You guys go away! Hurry up and send the medicine and the medical team! We're waiting here!"

Lin Qingdai hesitated for a moment, then glanced at the two men with iron towers: "I'll abolish them first, lest they hurt you when I leave!"

The two big men knelt down and kowtowed: "Girl, spare your life! Miss, spare your life!"

Lin Qingdai didn't say a word, she jumped in front of the two of them, clicked a few times, and unscrewed the arm of the other big iron tower man.

This time, the two iron tower men both dislocated their hands and could no longer attack.

The two men desperately threatened each other with their lives. It is possible that their mother was seriously ill. For the sake of their filial piety, Du Wenhao said, "Where is your mother? I'll go and see."

The two iron tower men did not expect that they treated Du Wenhao like this. Du Wenhao was willing to help them save their mother. He thanked them repeatedly with gratitude, and hurriedly brought Du Wenhao to his mother with his hands down.

The old woman was lying on a door panel, with gray hair, and had passed out.

Du Wenhao used golden needles to rescue the acupoints, and soon the old woman woke up slowly.

Du Wenhao said: "The medicine hasn't arrived yet. When it arrives in a while, give it to your mother right away."

The two iron tower men were so grateful that they knelt down and kowtowed.

At this time, as soon as the city gate opened, two teams of arresters with bows and arrows rushed out of the city gate. They were all wearing isolation suits and gas masks. crowd.Immediately afterwards, five or six people wearing isolation suits and gas masks rushed out, holding a single sword, and ran to the bridge. The first one was a strong man, with a cold light shining on the single sword in his hand, and shouted in a low voice:
"Idlers go away! Where is Mr. Du?"

Hearing the sound was Lei catcher.

Everyone gave way, and Du Wenhao and others led their horses to the bridge: "Is it Lei Butou? I'm here!"

"Mr. Du, I am here to take you into the city under the order of the county captain. Let's go!"

Du Wenhao told Butou Lei that he and Pang Yuqin decided to stay for treatment.

Headhunter Lei pondered for a while, and said, "Okay, I will take a few brothers to protect you and Miss San to practice medicine outside the city. Manager Lin and Assistant Professor Tang, you should go to the city quickly."

Seeing that someone was protecting them, Lin Qingdai and the others felt relieved and hurried into the city.The archers retreated into the city, and the gates were shut behind them.

When people outside the city saw that Du Wenhao did not leave, but stayed to treat everyone, they were surprised, happy and grateful. Many people knelt down and begged for Du Wenhao to treat their relatives.

Du Wenhao said it again and asked everyone to divide into two groups. Lei Butou and the others were yelling and shouting while waving their knives, but there were too many people, they were chaotic, and the people behind couldn't hear them, and no one wanted to be separated from their relatives, so they didn't bother. movement.

The two iron tower men dragged their dislocated hands, knelt down in front of Du Wenhao and apologized and said, "Mr. Du, our brothers are willing to obey Mr. Du's orders. Please help us set the bones. We will be responsible for separating the patients."

Du Wenhao is now under the protection of Lei Butou and the others, and the mothers of the two people have also been treated, so they are not afraid of these two reckless men making trouble again. Now that they are willing to help maintain order, I am very happy to go forward Helped them fix their dislocated arms.

The two big men on the iron tower were more than two meters tall, and their voices were like a bell, and they kept shouting: "Doctor Du has an order! Everyone is divided into two groups, the sick stay by the fire, and the healthy retreat one hundred feet away from the upper wind! Disobedient Don't blame me for not recognizing people with my fists!"

After pulling and pulling, and beating up a few people who contradicted each other, the crowd moved quickly, and quickly divided into two groups. The sick ones gathered by the bonfire near the gate of the city, and the healthy ones retreated to the upper air outlet. A hundred feet away, another bonfire was lit for warmth.

Du Wenhao asked some patients with milder illnesses to carry all the corpses in the moat to the downwind place, light a bonfire and burn them.Those who participated in carrying the corpse can be treated first after a while.With enthusiasm now, those with mild illnesses immediately went down to lift the corpses. Soon, the moats were all lifted, and a bonfire for burning the corpses was lit a hundred feet away from the downwind.

Du Wenhao instructed the two iron tower men to bring people to cut down thorns and build a fence to enclose the entire isolation area.

Lei Butou led the police, with the help of the iron tower man and some volunteers, implemented strict supervision on the quarantine area, strictly prohibited people from walking around at will, and immediately arrested those who trespassed in the quarantine area.

However, no one is interested in entering the quarantine area except for the anxious family members.
