Chapter 54 Time
Outside Tongzhou City, with the arrival of Chen Shigong, the general medical officer, presented an unprecedented large-scale bath.
Under the order, more than 600 medical households transferred from various places to Tongzhou by the emperor followed the order and took a bath in Yongding River outside the city with sulfur powder. They were then divided into two batches, one batch entering the city to provide relief and the other batch outside the city to support.
Bathing with sulfur powder is a method of sterilization by Dongyang Military Hospital. In addition, it is also used to steam sulfur to disinfect clothes. Taking a bath with water is not a blind bath. At the beginning, Dongyang Military doctors took a bath at will, and the sterilization was killed. There were also cases of sulfur burning on their bodies, and there were wounds that could not be treated. So now they have found the proportion that could both sterilize and not damage the skin.
A better way is to add a small amount of sulfur when making pancreatic seeds and use this to take a bath. However, in the past, the Beiyang Industrial Zone did not have such a habit. At this time, it was working overtime to make it, but it could not keep up in a short period of time.
There was also a full set of medical equipment that could not keep up. This was the final reason why Chen Shigong divided the medical households into two batches. He clearly remembered that Emperor Wanli told him before he left the capital that the court had transferred 830 medical households to Tongzhou, but at this moment there were only more than 600 in the city outside the city.
Traditional doctors are far less conscious of isolating bacteria than doctors trained overseas. They are all brave. Even if they know that they are unable to defeat, they still live and die for life and death. Among these people, there are many excellent doctors. It is a situation that Chen Shigong doesn't want to see.
He has more than 200 sets of medical equipment produced in Beiyang, so he only allows more than 200 people to enter the city. Only if these doctors are well protected can they help more people.
When the west gate of Tongzhou City opened, the people who wanted to rush out of the city were startled by the fully armed doctors.
They were all white-clothed and black boots. Because of the rush to work in Beiyang, the fabric was not dyed. The three layers inside and three layers outside wrapped the doctors tightly. They wore white hoods on their heads and only had a transparent glass on their eyes. Their whole body was effectively protected. They were tied with wide belts and hung medicine boxes on their waists. They were just lifted up the inner line to form a row of knife needles of various models. There were ink circles on the front chest and back. The words "medical" were written inside, and the medicine box was carried on the back. Some people even wore breastplates and bowls.
It was the armor of Beiyang military doctors. There were brazed cutters on both sides of the upper abdomen of the breastplate, reinforcement buckles for tying the belt of the medicine box on the waist, and a rectangular glass object protection slot under the helmet eyebrow patch. In addition to carrying an amputation axe to kill the enemy, it can also effectively protect the military doctor from being contaminated by the patient's blood when dealing with combat injuries.
These people came directly from the Beiyang Military Hospital. They were all young military medical apprentices with full set of equipment. They were originally a little nervous when they went deep into the epidemic area. They studied the trauma department of military doctors' main treatment in Beiyang Military Hospital. They had no experience in dealing with the plague. However, they did not expect that they were all assigned by senior Chen Shigong as team leader, and each led six or seven medical households to guide them to wear equipment and clean and disinfect.
This is their strength, and the military doctors themselves know that they are not as good as medical households when using the prescription for treating plague... They are first of all military soldiers, and secondly, they are even more precisely speaking, they are all special forces soldiers. Joining the infantry front and raising guns and shooting. The queue changes are special skills, but they have to use killing guns to snipe at a long distance, pulling grenades and dropping bullets at thirty steps, picking up tiger squatting cannons and laying them off, and driving the baggage truck to evacuate quickly. They have to do all these tasks.
After all, no one knows what the weapons and equipment will be left to them when the worst happens and the military medical battalion needs to join the battlefield. If it really doesn't work, these young people are also mentally prepared to join the enemy with the injured.
On the contrary, traditional medical skills are not exquisite, they just rely on equipment and knowledge to understand how to prevent them.
But now they are complementary to the medical staff.
The common people who wanted to leave the city had already gathered in front of the city gate, but they were under the control of the city's officers and soldiers, so they did not dare to break through. They wanted to see what the official army wanted to open the door, but they did not expect to see this group of ghost-like figures.
Especially at the front, Chen Shigong, wearing military doctor armor and wearing military doctor armor, behind him, and holding a banner of the North Zhili General Medical Officer, holding a Wu Lei Shen Ji in his arms... This picture is really a general medical officer, not a general officer?
"Don't worry about the people in the city. I was the emperor who personally appointed the chief medical officer of Zhili, Northern to curb the plague. The officials in the city will trouble any brother to find me. The rest of the people will return home and do not go out. Within an hour, the court order will be conveyed."
In fact, Chen Shigong has no experience in serving as an official. He is a good at treating diseases and saving lives, but he does not have enough experience in mobilizing and managing these things. Fortunately, there is a capable person in Tongzhou at this moment.
"The chief medical officer does not need to call the officials in the city. The magistrate inspected the sick people and refused to cure them. The remaining officials are here at this time."
The person who answered Chen Shigong in the crowd was a young man. He pushed the crowd away in the official robe and stood in the Tao and said, "Li Sancai, the new doctor of the Ministry of Revenue, did not expect that the first order was encountered by Tongzhou's epidemic at the beginning of his tenure. I am a native of Tongzhou. At this time, I am trapped in the city. If you have anything to do, please give it to me."
Doctor of the Ministry of Revenue?
Chen Shigong looked over through the glass mirror of the military doctor, and carefully looked at the man's appearance. He was very young.
He is indeed very young. Li Sancai was born in the 31st year of Jiajing. Now he has become a fifth-rank doctor in the Ministry of Revenue at his thirty years old. He can definitely be called a successful person.
"At present, there are six houses with more than a hundred sick people in the city, all of which are guarded by officers and soldiers and are not allowed to enter and exit. The rice and grain transferred from the Ministry of Revenue have been delivered to the people's door by household, which is enough for three months. The remaining neighbors with few sick people come to visit by medical households, and the people who come to the city gate are all from those neighbors who are not sick."
Li Sancai's tone was calm, as if he was talking about something insignificant, but there was inevitably a little pride in his words. This was not his achievements, but it was his ability.
However, Chen Shigong just shook his head calmly and said, "There is no absolute safety, let all the people go back and fire the cannon."
The orders followed were said to the accompanying physician team. As soon as the words fell, the military doctor behind him raised the two firecrackers hanging on the long pole in a spear-holding manner, and smoke filled the crackling sound and advanced forward.
This movement scared Li San and even choked him. He was not hiding for a while, nor was he not hiding, but fortunately he didn't hiding because Chen Shigong walked towards him.
"If the doctor has nothing to do, let's go home for now. Big Head Plague is coming, and all streets in the city will be completely banned at this time. No one is allowed to enter or exit. It takes only three days to know how many patients there are in the city. Five percent of them will die from this disease within eight days. I don't have much time."
"Gathered the yamen runners in the city, and each led the military medical team to spread firecrackers and sulfur powder into the hands of each household, and left six teams to follow me to see the six yards that were very sick."
Under the city gate, fully armed medical households drove into the city with firecrackers and quantitative sulfur powder.
