It's not that difficult to open a hospital in another world, right? Chapter 849: Master Nordmark, what project do you want to apply for? Fill in whatever you want!
Chapter 849: Master Nordmark, what project do you want to apply for? Fill in whatever you want!
The second day of sailing.
There were 500 passengers in the bottom cabin, 158 of whom vomited, and no diarrhea cases were observed yet. It is speculated that the main cause of vomiting is seasickness.
Bottom cabin passengers are not allowed to leave the cabin or go on the deck.
The bilge commode was dumped once.
The fortune-telling technique has not observed anyone entering a state of near-death.
The third day of sailing.
Level 3 waves (notified by the chief mate), 247 people suffered from vomiting and 2 suffered from diarrhea. It is speculated that the main cause of vomiting is seasickness.
The bilge commode has not tipped over.
Patients with diarrhea have no fever symptoms.
The fortune-telling technique has not observed anyone entering a state of near-death.
The fourth day of sailing.
The storm calmed down to Level 2. 129 people suffered from vomiting and 3 people suffered from diarrhea.
The bilge commode was dumped once.
Patients with diarrhea have no fever symptoms.
The fortune-telling technique has not observed anyone entering a state of near-death.
On the fifth day of sailing, we arrived at the port.
Grete closed the notebook and let out a long sigh.
Thanks to the existence of magic, he can often throw a secret spell in his eyes instead of looking at it several times a day despite the stench;
Thanks to the existence of fortune-telling, he could find out immediately if anyone was seriously ill;
Even... Thanks to him being an eighth-level mage and having him check in from time to time, at least when the ship distributes food to these poor people, they won't be too deprived or treat them too badly...
He stood on the edge of the deck and turned on his fortune-telling skills. He watched the poor people walk out of the dark and narrow cabin and walked onto the deck wearing clothes that were much dirtier than before they boarded the ship. Their faces were much paler than before they boarded the ship.
, enter the port.
Under the visual field given by the fortune-telling technique, there is a deep and shallow aura of life, indicating that the health status of these people should be good.
At least, there is no one who is dying of illness and dying, with the God of Death hovering above his head with a sickle, ready to harvest anytime and anywhere.
Gretel followed the flow of people and walked out. This group of Aiolan poor people were first taken to a circled open space. The logistics officer on the ship nodded their heads and handed them over to the parliament reception staff. Then, people came to collect them one after another:
"Thomas Warner, a hundred men!"
The visitor handed over a sign. The receptionist checked it, nodded, and waved behind:
"Go and get it. Receive it in batches, no picking and choosing!"
Grete saw him leading a group of people away...it was inevitable to pick and choose among them. He pushed out a few who were particularly thin and pulled out a few who were stronger. He stuffed a small bag into the receiving staff, but there was no one there.
Say something.
But in short, a group of people were brought down without isolation, quarantine, or any pause. They were counted where they were and pulled away directly to...
workshop?
Factory?
mine?
Anyway, it is a labor-intensive place with dense workers, poor treatment, and poor environment. It is conceivable that some of these poor people in Aiolan carry infectious diseases in the incubation period...
Then, it is only a matter of time before the disease breaks out in Nevis.
And if it is a colony in the New World that is further away, has worse healing power, and has a more fragile social environment... Before setting off from the seaport, Gretel used his secret vision to see several ships carrying immigrants. Their accommodation conditions were not much better.
.
How many of these immigrants will die if they are transported there?
Gretel didn't know. He only knew that it couldn't go on like this.
These are human lives!
"Serila, you go back to the mage tower first, I'll go find the teacher!"
Grete warned, activated the [Endless Ink Pen], and flew to the top of Igor Peak in an instant. After hearing his statement, the Lord of Thunder did not comment, but said calmly:
"You go and talk to the judges."
Gretel knew that the teacher's attitude basically meant disapproval or disapproval, letting him do whatever he wanted. Maybe it would cost too much, maybe there wasn't enough evidence, maybe there were other difficulties...
But no matter what happens, it is a problem that he, an eighth-level mage, can face and solve independently. Then, as a teacher, there is no need to worry about it.
Gretel bid farewell to his teacher and went to the review meeting to report on the execution of the task and make suggestions. The middle-aged female mage who had previously given him the task listened carefully to his suggestions and evaluated them seriously:
"Mage Nordmark, your suggestion is indeed very good. Your ability in treatment is also obvious to the parliament..."
But? Gretel answered silently in his heart. Sure enough, the rotating committee member of the Plasticity Department quietly said:
"But you have to know that each of your suggestions requires additional investment. People, materials, and money will all be summed up in the end, which is the input-output ratio."
Grete nodded silently. By the same token, he had seen too much in the medical field:
Medical care is not only about treating illnesses and saving lives, it is also an economic account.
Specifically speaking, whether each person and each family can afford medical treatment and whether it is cost-effective to spend the money is something that every family must consider. It is also something that doctors must consider at all times when giving treatment plans.
things to consider;
At the macro level, public health policies and medical insurance reimbursement programs for the entire society are said to be for the benefit of everyone, but in fact, they are also intended to increase the benefits of the entire society.
The overall medical expenditure of a society is closely related to the level of social development and the degree of public fiscal surplus. Excessive increase in medical insurance expenditure is not a good thing.
He took a deep breath:
"I understand. So, can I apply for a research project to study the transshipment plan of immigrants, how to reduce their mortality, and the isolation and quarantine plan for immigrants and disaster victims after they arrive?"
"Okay." The member of the Plasticity Department smiled lightly. She wrote a note, put her own secret mark on it, and handed it to Gretel:
"However, this research direction is not under the jurisdiction of the Plasticity Department. You can go next door and find the review committee of the Conjuration Department. Medical-related matters have always been their field."
Very good, so the Evocation Department is responsible for killing and violent forts. Last time, the nobles of Roscombe County were looking for trouble, so they released me to calm things down, right?
When there are topics related to medical treatment, isolation and quarantine, and public health, you immediately send me to the medical direction?
Grete thanked her and went to the next door with the note to knock on the door. Grete, this year's rotating committee member of the Conjuration Department, seemed a little familiar, and stood up as soon as he saw him:
"Mage Nordmark! Long time no see. Do you have any new projects and would you like to apply to the review committee?"
Gretel:???
"Ah, I am a disciple of Master Bielsa. In the last CT project, I helped the teacher with many of the papers in "Medical Research", and I reviewed them first..."
Ah, it turned out to be one of our own. Gretel immediately smiled and handed over the note:
"That's it. I want to apply for a fast-track project to study the necessity of improving immigration transfer treatment and establishing isolation and quarantine..."
"Ah, this, no problem." The review committee member immediately pulled out a blank page of document without thinking:
"Let me take a look at this year's budget... The budget is not too tight, but fortunately, this project can still be allocated. How much research funding do you need? 1,000 contribution points? 2,000?"
Gretel: "..."
I mainly want an official authorization to prove the legitimacy of the research, so that it will be convenient when I make reports to promote policy changes in the future. And, if possible, someone can tell me...
Where can I find the original data I need, such as how many people the Kingdom of Kent transports to the New World each year, what the transportation conditions are like, the death rate, etc.?
