Chapter 188 Chapter 188
This may be because Chinese medicine has declined in recent years after being hit by the "Four Olds" campaign, and Western medicine has become popular in the country, especially veterinary medicine, which has almost been replaced by Western medicine. Many doctors and scientific researchers have received Western medical education. Under the current situation and policies in the country, these people are terrified when talking about Chinese medicine.
The group of researchers sent by the province this time are no exception. They are accustomed to the Western way of believing only in visible data and theories, and they are extremely distrustful of the mysterious medical system of traditional Chinese medicine. They believe that traditional Chinese medicine lacks important scientific basis and is a backward discipline.
Therefore, when Ye Qing proposed to conduct research in the direction of traditional Chinese medicine, he was immediately refuted by many researchers. Many members even ridiculed and mocked him in public, thinking that it was foolish for Ye Qing to confuse human medicine with veterinary medicine. Especially in the face of such a serious epidemic, a single wrong step could lead to a huge mistake. The delayed time would bring huge losses, so they told Ye Qing not to mislead people.
Ye Qing certainly understood that human medicine and veterinary medicine should not be confused, and she was also very clear about how serious the consequences of this plague were. After all, it was she who directly called the Ministry of Agriculture and proposed to seal off Jiaotan County. It can be said that she was the first person to discover this plague and sound the quarantine whistle.
She also expected that her identity would be questioned, which was understandable. After all, questioning was everyone's right. As long as these people gave her the opportunity, she could show her true strength to those present.
But what she couldn't accept was that these researchers treated Chinese medicine with disdain and had only arrogance and prejudice, but vigorously defended Western medicine, even claiming that Western medicine was the orthodoxy in the medical field. Even the person in charge of the medical team nodded in agreement, which made Ye Qing feel aggrieved and uncomfortable, and she felt speechless for a while.
After realizing that he was not welcome in this experimental group and could not convince these researchers to change their views on traditional Chinese medicine, Ye Qing stopped wasting his breath.
She knew that her ideas would not be supported here, so after the meeting, she simply went to find the relevant leaders and proposed to withdraw from the research team and prepare to conduct research on special Chinese medicine drugs on her own.
"The provincial team for developing special western medicine drugs is mature and their research is very orderly. It would be superfluous for an outsider like me to join."
"But I always think that Chinese medicine cannot be easily ignored. The old things left by our ancestors are not all bad. It is said that we should take the essence and discard the dross. Western medicine is definitely highly targeted, there is no doubt about that, but our Chinese medicine emphasizes the harmony of yin and yang. In fact, each has its own advantages. If we find Chinese medicinal materials that can balance these infectious viruses, this situation may not be impossible for Chinese medicine to break."
"So if you agree, I can lead this Chinese medicine special medicine research team. You just need to arrange a larger office for me. I can work there for at most ten days or half a month. If I don't make any progress, I will disband my research team immediately. What do you think?"
Ye Qing's proposal stunned the leader.
Originally, it was the Ministry of Agriculture's leader who strongly requested Ye Qing to join the special medicine research team, and the province was only carrying out the request from above. But now Ye Qing took the initiative to withdraw and wanted to set up a new Chinese medicine research team to compete with the original medical group. This made the leader feel very conflicted and embarrassed.
However, this matter is easy to resolve. The leader is also a tactful person. He knows that Ye Qing is now highly valued by the higher-ups, so he simply passes the ball to the higher-ups and lets them worry about it.
Fortunately, the name Ye Qing is still very convincing in the Ministry of Agriculture, mainly because she has laid a solid foundation for herself in the past two years. The Ministry of Agriculture does not care about the so-called dispute between Chinese medicine and Western medicine. In the eyes of those old comrades, a cat is a good cat, whether it is black or white, as long as it can catch mice.
Soon, Ye Qing's idea was supported by the Ministry of Agriculture. The old minister even gave an order personally, telling Ye Qing to be bold and confident in doing it. She could just tell him what she needed. If the county couldn't get it, she could get it from the province; if the province couldn't get it, she could get it from the ministry. As long as it could be obtained domestically, they would find a way to meet her requirements.
But in fact, Ye Qing’s requirements are really not high.
What she lacked mainly was not machinery and equipment, but people to help her.
To develop an effective Western medicine vaccine, one must first understand the various structures of the virus and clearly determine the virus's DNA sequence before developing a targeted synthetic drug.
Traditional Chinese medicine is different. Its pharmacology is far more complicated than Western medicine, but in the final analysis, it comes down to one thing: finding substances that interact with each other.
Everything in this world has its own nemesis. As long as you find the nemesis, there will be nothing that cannot be cured.
Coincidentally, Chinese medicine uses this principle of mutual promotion and mutual restraint to treat epidemic diseases. Ye Qing also discovered a feasible method to deal with swine plague while reading various Chinese medicine books. However, whether it will work or not still requires continuous trial and verification.
Therefore, in order to determine the prescription as quickly as possible, Ye Qing needed a large number of assistants. It was not enough to just call her four female apprentices over. Ye Qing urgently summoned all the students who had participated in her training courses at her health station.
Compared with the medical research team sent by the province, the county's attitude towards Ye Qing was much better. Not only did they vacate the vacant warehouse of the grain station to temporarily set up a large office area for Ye Qing, they also booked a guesthouse to accommodate the assistants under Ye Qing.
Moreover, unlike those researchers in the province, all the units and departments in Jiaotan County have had in-depth contact with Ye Qing, the female educated youth who went to the countryside. They know that she has made a lot of achievements in Kaoshantun over the years. She is definitely a person of real talent and is not at all the false propaganda that outsiders are talking about.
So this time Ye Qing wanted to set up a Chinese medicine research team to compete with the team sent down from the province. She didn't even need to promote it herself. Anyone in the county who was a little smart and good at maneuvering would immediately find a way to get people into Ye Qing's temporary team.
Just kidding, as long as you work around for ten days or half a month, you might be able to follow the big guys and rise to the top. If this is really developed successfully, it can be clearly written in your resume, and you can brag about this experience for the rest of your life. Who wouldn't want such a ready-made opportunity for gold plating?
Those who have jobs are trying hard to find excuses to transfer to Ye Qing's place to work. As for the second generation who have no jobs and are idle at home, they are usually lazy and do not do their jobs properly. This time, their parents have given them all kinds of warnings that they must not play tricks when they are with Ye Qing, they must do whatever Dr. Ye tells them to do, and they must not be troublemakers, otherwise they will be asked to get out of the house and never come back.
In short, there are quite a few people who go to Ye Qing to use the back door in order to find an opportunity for their children to do odd jobs. Ye Qing doesn't have time to take care of these trivial matters, so he leaves them all to Gu Weibei to handle.
Yes, in addition to the four apprentices, Ye Qing also called Gu Weibei to the county.
Since it has been agreed to open a pharmaceutical factory in the future and a plan has been made to let Gu Weibei operate and manage the pharmaceutical factory in the future, human resource management is an important aspect. Now, how to manage a team is one of the important courses that Gu Weibei is preparing for during his advance internship.
Of course, to be honest, Ye Qing herself was impatient to deal with these things. Time was tight and she had no time to take care of so many trivial matters. She only focused on verifying the prescription. The medical books borrowed from the county and the province were piled up like several small hills in the huge grain station warehouse. She needed to read a lot of literature to find the most suitable medicinal materials for treating the plague in Jiaotan County. After determining the prescription, she also had to adjust the amount of the prescription. The workload was huge and it was definitely not something that could be completed by three or five people in ten days or half a month.
Even though Ye Qing spoke with great confidence, she was actually under a lot of pressure. After all, she had made such a boast in front of the old leader of the Ministry of Agriculture, which was like signing a military warrant. The superiors valued her very much and provided her with whatever she needed. They had full confidence in her abilities. But if she hadn't come up with anything after ten days or half a month, it would be a big joke. She would probably destroy the reputation she had worked so hard to build up over the years.
So Ye Qing really worked day and night, and sometimes she would even go without sleep for two or three days in order to verify a prescription. The makeshift team, which had a total of seventy or eighty people, was also led by Ye Qing, and all of them were working hard to help her, recording the data of various medicinal materials and prescriptions, observing the reactions of live pigs after taking the medicine, and some did errands, sorted and read literature, helped select medicinal materials, grind the prescriptions, and make fire to boil the medicine. Anyway, after a few days of running-in, each team member found his or her own exclusive position, and each performed his or her duties. They were all busy, but they were all orderly and cooperated very well.
But no matter whether it was the provincial department or the medical research team, when they found out that Ye Qing had put together a makeshift team to compete with them, they just found it funny. These people sneered at Ye Qing's childish behavior and did not take the team she led seriously at all.
But these people didn't know that Ye Qingluo racked her brains and used all the traditional Chinese medicine and pharmacology she had learned in her life, and also used her flying needle skills and supernatural power detection technology to the extreme.
After all, she traveled through time from a hundred years later, standing on the shoulders of giants. She has more knowledge and experience than people today, and has mastered many academic problems that many medical workers of this era cannot solve for the time being. So on this basis, she has a lot of experience to refer to when researching a special prescription for swine flu, and it is easier for her to control the general direction.
In just a few days, Ye Qing's team read Chinese medicine books day and night, until their eyes were red, and finally wrote out thousands of potentially useful prescriptions. After verifying and checking them one by one, they finally only had a dozen or so prescriptions left that were suspected to be feasible.
