New books uploaded, please collect and recommend
Zhu Jishi was almost exhausted. Really, he died of exhaustion trying to save the big-bellied women in London, England in 1842! Well, this may sound a bit strange, but it is true!
The maternity ward and operating room of the Ermen Hospital where he now works, which specifically serves the working people of the lower classes in London, are so filthy! No wonder the wealthy and upper-class women of this era do not give birth in hospitals, but in clean
In a tidy home, ask a highly skilled obstetrician to provide door-to-door services. Instead of going to a hospital, which Zhu Jishi calls a maternity execution ground in his heart, to undergo... execution!
But now, in order to achieve the grand goal of establishing a foothold in Europe in the mid-19th century and making a fortune, Dr. Zhu has no choice but to lead the elderly British aunt midwife Janet Lee, and two others who take turns in the maternity ward.
Bourgeois girls Anne Agutter and Jessica Ryan, who were voluntary nurses, first cleaned the dirty maternity ward and operating room. As a result, "Aunt Li" and the two kind-hearted young ladies
Halfway through the work, he disappeared. In the end, Zhu Jishi had to grit his teeth and finish all the cleaning work alone.
"Miss Li (this is a very fat old lady who is almost forty years old and has not yet married), Miss Agutter, Miss Ryan."
Zhu Jishi, who was sweating profusely from exhaustion, looked seriously at the three distinguished ladies who had just appeared, "I know you probably haven't heard of the 'disease germ theory' - I will soon prove this through experiments.
The theory is correct, but before that I ask you to strictly implement the sanitation and disinfection of the delivery room and surgery that I have formulated. Before each operation and delivery, you must wash your hands with 5% bleaching powder, and all surgical tools must be used before each operation and delivery.
It must be steamed at high temperature before use, and then wiped and disinfected repeatedly with iodine and alcohol."
"Yes, sir." Aunt Li nodded reluctantly. This Tatar's request obviously increased her workload.
"Sir, according to you, can the incidence of puerperal fever really be reduced to a minimum?" Anne Agutter, a lady with blond hair and charming appearance, looked at Zhu Jishi with her big eyes. Because of the
After working as a voluntary nurse in the hospital for several months, this eldest lady had already developed a fear of childbirth, and was also a little afraid of marriage.
"You will know if you try it?" Zhu Jishi looked at the little girl, but the beauty of Countess Isabel appeared in his heart. It seemed that he had not seen this beauty for several weeks.
"I hope it works. Those mothers who died are so pitiful." Miss Jessica Ryan, who was younger and looked like a doll, had her big eyes misty. "They had high fever.
Shivering, unbearable pain in the lower abdomen, struggling and screaming, and finally leaving their cute babies behind and passing away miserably... What terrible disease took away their lives?"
"Jessica, I will let you see this disease with your own eyes soon, I promise." Zhu Jishi said to the little girl with a smile, his eyes full of confidence.
…
"Jason, you want some morphine?"
After taking the one-pound note from Zhu Jishi and hearing the other person's request clearly, Frank Hahn hesitated and asked, "What do you want morphine base for?"
"Do research."
In the blink of an eye, Zhu Jishi has been working at Ermen Hospital for more than a month. Although the entire London medical community has not yet recognized him as the greatest medical genius of this era, Frank Hahn has already admired him. Because Ermen
There has been no case of puerperal fever in the hospital for three weeks - three weeks ago, Zhu Jishi took over the obstetrics department of Omen Hospital.
What makes Frank Hahn even more unbelievable is that three days ago, Zhu Jishi actually performed a caesarean section in the obstetrical operating room! At that time, Zhu Jishi obtained the consent of a woman who had a difficult labor and her husband.
Like a butcher, he tied a naked woman to the operating table, and then tested the blood types of the mother and several other people (including Dr. Hahn himself), and the results were drawn from himself and the mother's husband.
400CC of plasma was collected and placed in a large glass test cup.
After completing these preparations, Zhu Jishi used a scalpel to cut open the mother's belly in front of Hahn, two other doctors and a nurse, and amidst the heartbreaking cries of the mother, and then opened the belly.
**, took out the baby, and finally used needles and threads to sew up the mother's vagina and belly. During this period, she also gave the mother a blood transfusion...
And this poor woman is not dead yet! She is still lying in the obstetrics ward of Omen Hospital!
"What are you studying?" Frank Hahn took out a pound of morphine base, which was wrapped in brown paper and was refined from the finest opium produced by the East India Company, handed it over, and asked casually.
"Analgesic, I need a high-efficiency analgesic." Zhu Jishi answered after taking the opium. There are two analgesics he plans to create, one is called "morphine hydrochloride", which is the most important opioid in later generations.
Analgesics. Morphine base has been extracted in 1806, but it has not been shown to be better than opium in use. Because the technology of the European pharmaceutical industry is very backward, it can only extract alkaloids. I don’t know.
Alkaloids with medicinal value such as morphine base are further processed and refined into drugs with higher purity and higher medicinal value.
Another analgesic that Zhu Jishi wanted to create is even more famous! The scientific name of this analgesic is diethyl morphine. In history, this drug also had a very famous name, called H-luomorphine.
Because! This H loin has not been invented yet, but Zhu Jishi knows the method of refining H loin. It is actually very simple. Add morphine hydrochloride to diethyl XU and boil it on the stove to synthesize diethyl.
XU morphine is also called H-morphine.
Therefore, Zhu Jishi plans to apply to the British Patent Office for the patent rights of diethyl morphine and morphine hydrochloride later, and then open a pharmacy after gaining a certain reputation - pharmacies in this era are all integrated with the production, dispensing and sales of medicines.
Many famous pharmaceutical companies in later generations were large pharmacies in 1842. So Zhu Jishi also planned to start his dream of getting rich from a pharmacy.
And diethyl morphine, a drug that was frowned upon more than a hundred years later, is actually a very, very effective raw material drug! In fact, in 1898, H Luoin was introduced to the market by the German company Bayer.
In the next nearly 30 years, this drug is regarded by most doctors as a high-quality, safe drug with miraculous effects. It can be used to relieve coughs, pain relief, depression, bronchitis, asthma and all other diseases!
So this drug was once everywhere, from babies to adults to the elderly. It was taken in the form of powder, mixture or suppository, and even the tampons used by women contained H.
Ingredients of Luo Yin!
Therefore, after Zhu Jishi understood the attitudes of European countries towards opium in this era - opium was ubiquitous in Europe at this time. It was not only a necessary medicine in hospitals and pharmacies, but also a munitions supply for the armies of various countries! Almost all
European and American armies will distribute opium to officers and soldiers on time!
It is really ridiculous that the army of the Qing Dynasty was defeated by a pair of opium-smoking soldiers! So Zhu Jishi naturally thought of extracting H Luoyin, which was very easy to make and was dozens of times more effective than opium!
He purchased morphine base from Frank Hahn in preparation for refining morphine hydrochloride, an important raw material for the manufacture of H-line.
Bisethyl XU, another raw material for making H-Luoyin, is easier to obtain. This chemical is actually a very commonly used flavor in Western pastry making. It is found in Mrs. Dulan’s kitchen, so Zhu Jishi prepared
Use tomorrow's rest day to extract H Loyin at Mrs. Tulan's house on Dover Street!
Of course, dedicating this miraculous drug to the European people is only part of Zhu Jishi's plan to make drugs and make money. If the market response to H-lotin is good, he also plans to launch coca-based, cannabis-based, and M-flavonoid-based drugs.
