"Everyone, I will keep the story short. You should think carefully about what he says next.
I ask you, when you are treating people in this city.
Have you noticed that wherever the plague goes, even an animal will die if it is affected by the plague?"
this matter?
Everyone thought for a moment, and the group nodded repeatedly.
Without him, all the chickens and ducks raised by the people in the city, except those that could survive, had been arranged outside the city.
The rest are basically dead.
Yes, this is the plague, and this is the most terrifying thing about the plague.
"But have you noticed that as long as it is a disease, it has its own nemesis?
Just like this plague, although it is so overbearing, look at these cows.
All living animals are basically unable to withstand this plague.
But these cows survived this plague."
After several people heard this and thought about it carefully, they realized that this was indeed the case.
After going deeper, they discovered that they had indeed seen these surviving cows in the cowshed. At that time, they couldn't help but complain in their hearts.
If it were cows like you, people wouldn't even dare to eat them.
But now that the plague has come, you are also in trouble.
If it weren't for the plague, I really want to kill you and let everyone eat you.
Is it possible that the treatment of the plague this time has something to do with these cows?
"Yes, whether the plague can be cured this time is directly related to these cattle.
Let me give you a simple example.
In fact, the plague is a kind of virus, but this virus is very overbearing.
Whether we humans or animals are infected by this virus, they will almost die.
But all things are mutually reinforcing and restraining each other, and if there is yin, there is yang.
Around poisons, there must be antidotes that can cure them.
In fact, this plague is not terrible, but we have not found an antidote to the plague."
"What, an antidote to the plague?"
"That's right, Lao Zhao, it's a good thing that you and I are both doctors at Tai Hospital.
Maybe you haven't noticed that all these beasts are basically dead.
Only in the area where the plague was most severe, did these cattle survive?
Is it possible that you haven’t had the slightest doubt about this matter?”
"Ah, you said there is an antidote in cows, so we eat beef?"
"I,,,your brain is so convoluted.
There is no need to eat meat, but there are things in these cows that can resist viruses.
Through these things, the virus in the body is resisted, so these beasts can be at ease."
After they said this, everyone observed it carefully.
It turns out that this is really what they said. Is it possible that the cow can really resist the plague?
But how should we do it?
Vaccination?
What is vaccination?
Cut a wound on our body, put the virus from the cow directly into our wound, and wait for recovery.
"Ah, this?"
"Forget it, you look like you don't believe it. You guys, take off your clothes and show them."
The doctors accompanying me were ready to take off their clothes!
"What are you doing? Don't take off your clothes even if you don't agree with me?"
"What are we doing? Of course we are showing you that we are vaccinated."
Several people took off their clothes and exposed their arms.
I asked a few of them to come forward and take a closer look, and indeed found a slight wound on their arm.
Although it is said to have healed, the wound is still very clear.
Several people looked at it with puzzled faces, not understanding what this meant.
"I'm asking you, have you noticed that although this plague makes people almost die?
But for those who survive the plague, they don’t have to worry about being infected even if they encounter the plague?"
"this?"
Then he looked at the people around him.
The few of them working there were those who were in the epidemic area before.
And everyone has been exposed to these plagues, but there is nothing strange about them.
At that time, they were still wondering why they didn't look like this when they had contact with these patients.
After some investigation, it was found that these people had also suffered from the plague.
But when I got the plague, I took medicine and narrowly escaped death, and I managed to survive.
To this day, are they immune?
It can be said that they were relatively unlucky, being exposed to the plague and still able to work.
So they were allowed to stay here to help, and that's what happened today.
I didn’t expect that this plague would have such rhetoric?
For a moment everyone was shocked again.
But what does this matter have to do with cows?
"Everyone, look at the cow here, although it has become rotten.
But these cows are safe, and the places where they rot are where they are immune.
The immunity here can fight the virus.
It is because of the substances produced by these cows that resist the plague virus that we see these cows grazing leisurely and nothing happens.
I call these resistant things cowpox.
And the injuries you see on their bodies are actually caused by removing a little bit of cowpox from them and putting it on our bodies.
In this way, our bodies will be actively infected."
Ah, active infection?
This move is completely unheard of, so no one wants to be infected, right?
How come after the incident reached them, they took the initiative to get infected on themselves?
This sounds a bit excessive.
"Haha, you little things, as long as they enter our bodies.
Our bodies will produce a layer of antibodies just like cows.
Do you know what an antibody is?
To put it simply, it is the ability to resist the plague. Why do you see these people survived the plague before?
Are you able to survive this plague without any problems?
That is because their bodies have already produced this antibody, and they are completely immune to this plague.
That’s why it looks like this, nothing will happen.”
this?
If this man wasn't his old buddy, I would have known what he was capable of.
Whenever other people say this, you will definitely think that they mean to cause trouble with you.
"Where did you go and learn it?"
“We knew at that time that there is no limit to learning and there is no limit to medical skills.
But I don’t know how far this realm is.
Later, we followed His Majesty's order and went there to study.
After learning these things there, I realized that what we had learned before was completely childish.
What you learn from others is your real talent and ability."
While talking, he introduced them to a series of things about other medicines.
After hearing what they said, everyone stood aside blankly, unmoved.
By the way, why does it feel like this thing is different from what they imagined?
For a moment, I just felt confused.
Look left, right, front, and back. In addition to envy, I still feel envious.
There was an opportunity for further study before them, but they did not cherish it.
Now I am watching such a good opportunity disappear in front of my eyes. It is indeed irreversible.
If God gives them another opportunity like this, everyone said that they would definitely fight for it with His Majesty.
If everyone had fought hard at that time, would they have been able to study there?
But the occurrence of this situation today made them very overwhelmed.
When I looked at them again, my little eyes turned around.
It feels like I'm here to ridicule you
That's right, this old guy came here just to ridicule!
"You old Zhao, don't look like that, I'm here to help you personally.
Didn't I come here to watch your jokes?
Don't worry, after returning to Chang'an City this time, I will recommend it to Your Majesty and ask you to come with you.
Your medical skills are better than mine, so if you go there to study, I believe you will be able to learn more!"
"Hahahaha, why do you admit that my medical skills are better than yours this time?"
"Hey, don't give me any shame, you are shameless.
I just feel that there is really no point in arguing about these boring things for a lifetime.
If this is not the case, I might as well devote all the next time to medicine.
Let me tell you, there is the so-called blood transfusion place and the suturing technique.
Anyway, all the things you haven't seen or thought about have become real there.
In addition to these, there are all kinds of others. Anyway, everything you can think of is there.
You know the bacteria and viruses I just talked about? I guess you have never heard of them.
Not only have I heard of it, I have also seen it.
Forget it, it’s useless to tell you this, you can just follow our method.”
"Oh well."
Several people came forward and stood aside quietly watching.
And the doctors they reinforced again began to explain to them how to get this thing and how to plant it in the human body.
Then he asked someone to stretch his arm over and disinfect the blade. He endured the pain, made a small incision, and inserted the cowpox into it.
Get a bandage and wrap it up.
It took less than half an hour before all of them were covered with cow beans.
"Everyone, after you are vaccinated with cowpox this time, your body will produce antibodies.
It won't be long before you get better.
However, after being vaccinated with cowpox, I cannot guarantee 100% survival or 100% recovery.
But this time's survival, compared with the previous narrow escape, this time it will be a narrow escape."
When everyone heard this, they all showed shocked expressions.
Everyone knows what they are saying.
Is there any specific medicine in the world that can guarantee 100% cure for any disease?
And this is still a plague. I heard people say that nine lives and one death has become nine lives and one death. This survival rate is as high as heaven and earth. How can everyone not be shocked?
"Everyone, I won't say any more unnecessary words.
Arrange manpower first to treat all patients.
I have arranged for the government to prepare medicinal materials outside.
Treat illnesses and save lives.”
Everyone began to arrange the task. In fact, this matter was very simple and not as complicated as imagined.
Several doctors were collecting cowpox on one side, and the few accompanying people were organizing manpower on the other side to personally go to the place where the disease was seriously ill and start inoculating everyone.
After a period of hard work, half of this small town of ten thousand people was infected.
Half of those infected died.
Now there are only a few thousand people left, and they are all dying.
Not to mention anything else, just the issue of food and water is a big deal.
No one cooks for them, no one delivers water, they can only wait to fend for themselves.
It won't be long before they are starved to death or thirsty even if it's not a plague!
Everyone was grateful when they saw the doctor rushing over to treat them.
Let these doctors arrange for them to come over, cut their arms, and inoculate them with cowpox.
Quietly waiting for the next fate.
While the staff inside them were inoculating these people with cowpox, the remaining people continued to arrange manpower to go to surrounding villages for treatment.
When we arrived at the affected villages.
After all, the situation in this village is a hundred times more serious than the disaster in the city.
"I heard news that these people are already dead, haven't they?
There are still so many people alive, how can these people lie about the news?"
The doctors looked at everything in front of them and felt angry and impatient.
These people are simply taking human lives lightly and making fun of people's lives.
Obviously these people are still alive and well, but they are just suffering from diseases, and when people like them spread the news, all of them died. How can people not be angry when they look at them?
