Chapter 150 Smallpox

Unlike Zhao Zhikuan and Ma Guilan who established the school with great fanfare, the nursing school established by Sun Jing was quiet. It didn't even have a brand. It just hired more than 20 young women to teach, and it was considered the opening ceremony.

Although it is called a nursing school, there are many courses taught, such as pathology, pharmacology, medical statistics, diagnostics, internal medicine, surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, etc. There are more than ten kinds of courses. Of course, this is what Sun Jing is afraid of.

There are no additional courses for these uneducated women who have learning difficulties, otherwise a qualified pediatrician would have to take more than 40 courses.

These young women are all between the ages of 14 or 15 to 17 or 18. Most of them are refugees recruited from refugee camps, and seven or eight are local villagers of Baisha Village. Among them are two of the elders of Baisha Village, Xu Tou.

Granddaughters, Xu Jinhua and Xu Yinhua.

Sun Jing delivered a baby to the Xu Wang family at that time, so that the Xu family finally had an heir. In addition, Xu Liu himself became the director of the workshop, and his monthly salary increased a lot. The family no longer needed two daughters to collect pigweed to support the family.

Since he didn't have to work, Old Xu Tou wanted to sell 12-year-old Xu Jinhua and 10-year-old Xu Yinhua to child brides in the same village. However, their mother, Mrs. Xu Wang, was reluctant to bear the pain of her two daughters, so she tried her best to send them away.

The two daughters went to work for Sun Jing.

Sun Jing was the eldest daughter of the Zhao family and the savior of Old Xu's direct grandson. Naturally, Old Xu did not dare to object, so he had to mumble and send his two granddaughters to Sun Jing.

Seeing the two minors, Sun Jing was also scratching her head. She is now in charge of logistics and responsible for training modern doctors. If she also looks after the children, she is too busy, so she plans to let the old Xu head take the children back. But the two sisters Xu Jinhua

He knelt down and asked the eldest lady of the Zhao family to take him in, because if they went home, they would be sold by their grandfather as child brides.

When Sun Jing heard that there was no law left, didn't he know about the law for the protection of minors? Sun Jing educated Old Xu Tou, but looking at Old Xu Tou's look, Sun Jing knew that all his words were in vain. This old man

The guy would definitely sell the two sisters. Thinking of this, Sun Jing decided to accept the Xu Jinhua sisters.

After being in contact with these two sisters for a few days, Sun Jing found that these two sisters are definitely good helpers for him, especially in various experiments. Sun Jing is exactly forty years old this year. Although she is not old, her eyes are the same as when she was young.

It's incomparable, but when producing penicillin, inoculation of bacteria requires a good eye and a steady hand. If there is a slight mistake, the petri dish will be wasted.

The Xu Jinhua sisters probably have excellent eyesight because they eat sea fish all year round. With their participation, Sun Jing's error rate in various experiments has been greatly reduced, and Sun Jing's labor intensity has also been reduced.

Sun Jing is mainly responsible for medical care and logistics in the Zhao family. Medical care is no problem, it is her old profession, but Sun Jing is not good at logistics.

Although Sun Jing used to be a housekeeper, she has more work to do to provide money, rice, oil and salt for a family of three. Now she is faced with the food, drink and diarrhea of ​​thousands of people on the island. Although Sun Jing has introduced a bidding mechanism for future generations, she still needs to purchase

There are too many things, which are far beyond Sun Jing's ability.

Sun Jing wanted to hand over the logistics aspect, but there was no one to accept it. The old man and the old lady naturally couldn't do it. Her husband Zhao Fuxiang was too busy to see anyone every day, and his son Zhao Heng was too absorbed in the military camp and didn't come back for several days.

At home, at this moment Sun Jing saw his new daughter-in-law, Zhang Side, who had just entered the house.

and after

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Zhang Wenming's family is very demanding. Although Zhang Side is a girl, like her younger brother Zhang Hongsi, she entered school at the age of five and started studying. At the age of 12, she followed her aunt to learn nühong, and at the age of 15 she started studying

How to manage the house. Zhang Side himself is very smart. Even his eldest brother Zhang Honglu praised this sister. If she were not a daughter, she could definitely become a Jinshi.

Zhang Side and Zhao Heng have been married for more than a month. During their honeymoon, Zhao Heng could still guarantee to go home every day. However, as the number of new troops increased, Zhao Heng had basically lived in the military camp for the past half month. Zhang Side's life was naturally very boring.

.

After Sun Jing saw her daughter-in-law Zhang Side doing nothing, she initially planned to ask her to take care of the family's accounts. After all, Zhao's family now has more than 20 family members inside and outside, and they also need a dedicated person to manage it. Who knows that Zhang Side not only manages the affairs in an orderly manner, but also needs a dedicated person to manage them.

They can also create their own assessment mechanism. Family members who excel in the evaluation at the end of the year will receive more material rewards, so the maids and servants in the family are very enthusiastic about their work.

Sun Jing was very surprised to see what Zhang Side did. She did not expect that her daughter-in-law was also a managerial talent. After chatting with Zhang Side, Sun Jing learned that the original assessment mechanism was not invented by Zhang Side, but that she listened to her grandfather Zhao Zhikuan while eating.

To put it bluntly, Zhao Zhikuan uses this kind of assessment mechanism in the factory. Whoever does more work at the end of the year will get a bigger bonus.

Sun Jing is now very satisfied with this daughter-in-law and is ready to hand over the entire logistics work to her. Zhang Side is also very happy that he finally has something to do, it is better than being idle at home every day.

Zhang Side was very smart. He studied with Sun Jing for half a month and quickly took over the logistics work. Sun Jing was finally relieved and began to devote herself to setting up her nursing school.

Sun Jing selected eighteen ingenious young girls from the refugee camp. Including the three people from Baisha Village and Sister Xu Jinhua, there were twenty-three people in total. These were all the students in Sun Jing's nursing school.

There are only two teachers, Sun Jing and Zhao Jing. Of course, Sun Jing teaches the main courses, while Zhao Jing is responsible for teaching nursing. After the pirate incident in the last period, Zhao Jing’s nursing experience has increased and she is now an excellent nurse.

.

The teaching progress of the nursing school went very smoothly, but unexpectedly a few days later, Zhang Side came to see me nervously and said that some workers in the factory on the island were sick.

Sun Jing was stunned. She thought it was a common gastrointestinal disease, but after she asked about the condition in detail, she found that the case on the island was probably smallpox.

Smallpox is a highly infectious disease. According to later scientific analysis, the population of America during the Great Discovery was over 50 million. However, two hundred years later, there were only over 500,000 Indians left. Among them were

It is due to smallpox.

Those European colonists brought greed and plunder, but they also brought infectious diseases such as smallpox and plague. The American continent has been isolated from other continents for tens of thousands of years. The Indians had no resistance to smallpox.

Thousands of Indians died of smallpox.

Sun Jing heard Zhang Side describe the patient's condition, including fever and chickenpox, which were the early symptoms of smallpox. However, Sun Jing had never seen what a smallpox patient looked like. In the 1970s, China had eliminated smallpox.

Sun Jing decided to take a look for herself. She took Zhao Jing and all the students to the steam workshop on the island.

Workshop director

When Xu Liu saw the eldest lady of the Zhao family coming in person, he quickly stepped forward to greet her and said, "Madam, are you here in person?"

Sun Jing nodded and asked, "Where is the patient?"

Xu Liu pointed to a thatched shed next to him and said: "Old Ding is right there. At first we thought he just had a cold, so we gave him a half-day off. But we found out that he couldn't get up this morning, and his body was red.

Because of his rash, the workers didn’t dare to live with him, so they moved Lao Ding into that shed!”

Under the leadership of Xu Liu, Sun Jing came to the front of the shed. She took out a homemade gauze mask from her bag, put it on and walked into the shed. Sun Jing also wanted to go in with her, but was stopped by Sun Jing because Sun Jing

It is not yet confirmed whether what Lao Ding got was smallpox. Sun Jing himself had been vaccinated against smallpox in later generations, but Zhao Jing had not. The mortality rate of smallpox is 30%, and Sun Jing did not want his right-hand man to die, or to have his face covered with wounds.

It's Mazi.

It was very dark in the shed. Sun Jing opened the door curtain and then opened the window, and then he could see the situation inside the house clearly. A middle-aged man in his forties was lying on the bed shivering. He saw Sun Jing come in,

He wanted to stand up and salute, but was stopped by Sun Jing.

Sun Jing tried his forehead with his hand. He was running a high fever and a rash had appeared on his face. Sun Jing looked at him and found that the rashes on his arms, thighs and other places had begun to turn into pimples. Although Sun Jing did not see any

I have experienced smallpox, but I know that this is definitely not just chickenpox, but real smallpox.

Smallpox is very similar to chickenpox in the early stages of the disease, except that the rash in the early stage of chickenpox only appears on the head and neck, while smallpox appears all over the body. After three days, chickenpox turns into blisters, while the rash on smallpox turns into pustules, which is more severe than

Chickenpox is much more serious.

On the 1st to 2nd day after the onset of smallpox, a transient measles-like or scarlet fever-like rash may appear on the lower limbs, inner thighs, armpits and both sides of the waist. On the 3rd to 4th day after the onset, the body temperature drops rapidly and the symptoms are relieved.

, at the same time, a centrifugally distributed rash appears, that is, the head, face, and the ends of the limbs are denser than the trunk. It is a dark red macule at first, which turns into a papule after a few hours, and then turns into a blister on the 6th to 7th day of the disease. In the center

There are depressions and redness around them. At this time, there are also rashes in the mouth, throat, canthus of the eyes, conjunctiva, etc. On the 8th to 9th day of the illness, the blisters turn into pustules. At this time, the body temperature rises again and the poisoning symptoms worsen. On the 11th day of the illness,

In ~12 days, the pustules gradually dry up and form thick yellow-green scabs. The patient feels severe itching, the body temperature gradually drops, and the general condition improves. After 2 to 4 weeks of illness, the scabs begin to peel off, leaving scars.

This is the process from the onset of mild smallpox to spontaneous recovery. If it develops into severe disease, it will often be accompanied by complications, such as sepsis, osteomyelitis, encephalitis, meningitis, bronchitis, otitis media, laryngitis, blindness, miscarriage, etc.

, is the leading cause of death from smallpox.

Smallpox virus is a type of poxvirus. Even if people are infected in later generations, there is no specific cure. Patients will have pockmarks on their faces after they recover, hence the name "smallpox". The smallpox virus has a brick-shaped appearance and is about 200 nanometers ×

300 nanometers, strong resistance, can resist dryness and low temperature, and can survive on scabs, dust and clothes for several months to a year and a half.

Sun Jing is a pediatrician and has some understanding of infectious diseases. He knows that smallpox was basically a terminal illness in the late Ming Dynasty. If you get it, it depends on destiny. It is difficult for China's ancient population to reach hundreds of millions. In addition to food reasons, smallpox and other serious infectious diseases

The high fatality rate* is also a key reason.
