In the 1970s and 1980s, the medical and health care industry in China was not well developed, and ordinary people did not have much money. They would only seek medical advice when they could no longer afford it.
So at this time, most people's bodies are like a virgin land that has not been cultivated by antibiotics and antiviral drugs.
This is the first time that the influenza virus has been impacted by advanced drugs 40 years later, so the effect is naturally multiplied.
Unlike decades later, people like to take medicine at every turn, which leads to the increasingly poor effect of drug treatment.
For example, when it comes to antibiotics, some people like to take two pills of fluphenazine when they have a cold, two pills of fluoroquinolone when they have diarrhea, and get a few days of penicillin when they have a cough.
Even if the doctor believes that antibiotics are not necessary for the disease, some patients still get impatient with the doctor and insist on prescribing some "anti-inflammatory drugs" in the outpatient clinic. They think that the doctor who does not prescribe "anti-inflammatory drugs" is deliberately preventing them from getting better.
Because of the long-term use of antibiotics, the bad bacteria in the body have developed drug resistance, resulting in the pathogenic bacteria not being killed, but the beneficial bacteria in the human body are killed.
When it came time to save lives, I realized it was all over. Ordinary antibiotics were completely ineffective. I had to upgrade until I got to the level of TaiNeng, but it still didn't work.
There is only one outcome: the doctor can only watch you die from a common infection.
At this time, some people would say that he hardly takes "fire-fighting medicine" in his daily life, so he should be fine, right?
It's useless. If you strictly test the food you eat now, you can find out the antibiotic content, especially farmed meat.
Then some people will say, it will be okay if I don’t eat meat, right?
If you don't eat meat, you have to drink water, right?
Scientists from Hohai University once conducted a study to test the water in the Yangtze River Basin for antibiotics and found that the average concentration of antibiotics in the water in these rivers was as high as 156 nanograms per liter.
Then they conducted further research and collected urine from women and children in a part of the Yangtze River basin to test the urine components.
The results revealed even more shocking news: 40% of pregnant women had more than 20 types of antibiotics in their urine, and about 80% of children had antibiotics in their urine.
The reason is that the wastewater from some pharmaceutical factories and the antibiotics used illegally by some farmers are discharged directly into rivers without treatment, causing the antibiotic content in the water to exceed the standard.
When people drink this kind of water, it is equivalent to taking "anti-inflammatory drugs" in disguise.
After antibiotics enter the human and animal bodies through drinking water or edible aquatic products, they cannot be completely metabolized. After long-term intake of antibiotics, antibiotics will enter multiple organs through blood circulation, leading to a gradual decline in immunity.
Therefore, in modern society, people have no way to escape or avoid antibiotics.
After changing into his white coat, Chen Xia went to the ward with Ren Yuanfei. He saw that the young man in bed 23 had indeed recovered a lot of spirit. Although he was still quite weak, he smiled when he saw the doctor coming in.
The patient's parents kept thanking the doctors. The father held Lao Ren's hand and repeatedly assured that as long as his son recovered, he would send a thank-you letter and a banner to the Fourth Hospital.
Old Ren's mouth was crooked with laughter.
Today's doctors may not care about low salaries or red envelopes, but they care about their own reputation and the collective sense of honor.
The doctor or department that receives the most banners from patients can go out and brag about it, as it represents the public's trust and is the highest honor.
Chen Xia looked through the medical records and temperature sheet in the medical record book, and the line was almost straight downward.
If it was changed to stocks, I don’t know how many people would jump off buildings, but if it was changed to body temperature, it represents recovery of the illness, which is a good thing.
Chen Xia warned, "You still need to continue taking the medicine. At least three days, no more than five days, you should be fully recovered. Of course, a serious illness still requires some treatment, and that's the responsibility of your parents."
The mother had tears in her eyes but a smile on her face. She held her son's hand and kept thanking Chen Xia.
"Dr. Chen, thank you so much! You're truly our family's benefactor. Was the money we gave you yesterday enough? If not, we've already withdrawn the money today."
Chen Xia was sweating and felt so embarrassed because he hadn't decided how much to sell each pill for.
"This and that, let's talk about the money after you recover. We don't know how many pills you'll need yet. We'll figure it out together then, and we'll make up for any excess."
After coming out of the ward, Lao Ren quit.
He was afraid that Chen Xia would become too sanctimonious and think that this was a legitimate opportunity to make some extra money, so there was no need to sell the medicine at cost price.
"Xiao Xia, we've all seen the effects of this medicine. You've made a trip to the provincial capital, wasting time and money on travel expenses. You might even have to rely on connections there, so you should manage the profit of the medicine carefully. Don't make too much, but don't sell it at cost either, okay?"
"Master, I understand. I didn't expect you to be so understanding. I thought you were going to forbid me from raising the price of the medicine."
"Bullshit! Since you have the means to obtain this excellent foreign medicine, it would be foolish not to make money from it. Who would complain about having too much money? If you don't steal or rob, what are you afraid of? If others have objections, let them buy it themselves. We won't bother them."
"Master is domineering, Master is mighty, Master, I will treat you to meat and wine."
"Of course I'll treat you, NND, you're the rich, eat at the rich's house, prepare two pounds of braised meat for me alone tonight."
The master and the disciple were laughing and joking as they walked on the road, but they were overheard by Gu Lin who was lurking nearby.
The little girl protested immediately, "Lao Ren, Chen Lao Er, you two are so mean. You actually planned to eat all the food by yourself and you wouldn't share the braised meat with everyone!"
When they heard that there was meat to eat, a group of people gathered around and denounced the master and disciple for their despicable behavior.
The price of incurring public anger is that Chen Xia will have to sign a humiliating treaty, invite him to dinner and drink in the evening, and there will definitely be more meat dishes than vegetables.
The doctors and nurses in the infectious disease department have already realized that people who can afford to live in the Meiyuan mansion are not short of money at all, so this rich man feels at ease when fighting.
If it were someone else, they would really be embarrassed to take action, after all, the wages these days are really pitiful.
Chen Xia quickly raised his hands in surrender.
"Okay, okay, it's no problem to treat you to dinner. I can prepare all the ingredients, but I've never cooked before, so I'll need everyone's help with the cooking. Of course, if you have children at home, you can bring them along."
When everyone heard that I could take care of the children, it was a pleasant surprise. No family was rich these days, and being able to give the children a chance to eat meat would bring good luck.
So amidst a chorus of praise, everyone dispersed and continued to work.
Gu Lin also walked away triumphantly.
This time it was Chen Xia's turn to punch the culprit behind her.
