Chapter 2080 Convergence
Manbao swallowed under the mask.
To be honest, she was greedy.
There is no shortage of food in Xiazhou City, but there is still a shortage of meat and vegetables. Zhou Silang has slaughtered a cow every day in the past two days, but the villa is ostensibly funded by the government, so it is not extravagant.
Moreover, patients should eat light food. It is best not to eat eggs, meat, etc. when they have acne.
Doctors like Manbao ate well, always having meat or a boiled egg a day, but the patients only had to eat plain water.
Mrs. Gong San was so greedy that she rubbed her belly and complained, "Our mansion has donated a lot of money and food to the other courtyard, why are they starting to cut corners?"
If they really rely on the government to provide them with food and clothing, I'm afraid Yang Heshu will really make them eat coarse food. Therefore, every family will donate a sum of money as long as they have a patient sent in. The least is four or five taels, and the most is around fifty taels. There is no problem in providing them with food and drink during this period.
Manbao knew that such things depended entirely on one's intentions, but the Gong family had undoubtedly donated a lot, so he comforted her, saying, "It's not stinginess. You're sick now, so you should eat a light diet. Oh, and even if you get better and leave, you should stick to a light diet for a while, and eat less meat..."
Mrs. Gong San listened carefully and wrote down everything.
It was time for dinner. Manbao got up to wash his hands and changed his clothes before going to the front to have dinner with Bai Shan and the others.
Next to the front hall where medicine is dispensed, there is a spacious side room. It used to be where Doctor Jin and Doctor Hua rested and discussed matters, and now it is where they rest and discuss matters.
When she arrived, Doctor Jin and Doctor Hua had just arrived, and both of them were wearing masks because she was the first one to wear the mask. It has become very popular in the other courtyards recently, and even the yamen, the other two courtyards, and the medical tent have also started wearing masks.
Manbao was also generous with his advice and directly announced the production method. The main thing is that the gauze must be clean, preferably washed and ironed, and then dried before sewing. Make several layers, and the outermost side should be cotton. Of course, some families cannot afford cotton, so they can also try using fine linen.
Yang Heshu has been working hard to accomplish this in the past two days. He wants all the people in the city to sew a few masks for themselves to wear. Even if it is better than nothing, it can reduce some infections.
But in fact, as long as it is said that it was said by the imperial physician from the capital, basically no one would question it and everyone would obey obediently.
The city has been under lockdown for eighteen days and people are in a panic. Now with the new regulations, everyone feels more alive and has a direction to work towards.
Manbao brought Lu, the doctor's assistant, over. Bai Shan and Bai Erlang also changed their clothes and washed their hands before coming over. He told Manbao about the total number of patients admitted today. "Five children came in from the East Courtyard today. Two live in Courtyard No. 3 next to the main courtyard, and three live in Courtyard No. 5 at the East Corner Gate. Their conditions aren't good. You can go and take a look."
Manbao nodded.
Bai Shan continued, "Ordinarily, Imperial Physician Lu and his team should have arrived today. They haven't yet. They must have been delayed on the way. My suggestion is that if they haven't arrived before noon tomorrow, you should take Imperial Physician Lu and his assistant to meet with all the doctors in the city on behalf of the Imperial Hospital. You can also discuss specific treatment methods."
"I compared the main prescriptions of the three branch hospitals and the medical shed, and found that there were quite a few differences, especially at the medical shed, where the mortality rate remained high."
Manbao responded, "Then wait until noon and take a look."
As it turned out, they didn't have to wait until noon the next day. Around 9:00 PM, someone came to find Zhou Man and the others. "The Imperial Hospital staff have arrived and are now in the government office. Imperial Physician Lu has summoned everyone for a talk."
Manbao asked, "Are all the doctors going?"
"Yes," the messenger said, "Doctor Lu said that the prescriptions for patients who have already been seen this morning should be changed, and those who have not been seen should continue to use the old prescriptions. Everyone should go to the county government office for a talk first."
This is also the case of sharpening the knife before chopping wood. Man Bao agreed, turned around to wash up, took his notebook and went out.
Manbao took a carriage to the county government office, jumped out and rushed to the lobby. Today was the first time she met all the doctors and officials in Xiazhou City.
In addition to the doctors from each prefecture, all the doctors in the city came.
Everyone sat down in their seats. When Manbao arrived, everyone looked over. Doctor Zheng stood up and gave her the seat below Doctor Lu.
Manbao was of higher rank than him, so he nodded and sat above him.
Not to mention the doctors, even the officials from next week who were sitting on the other side all looked around.
When everyone was present, Yang Heshu and a young man came out from the back hall with Bai Shan and Bai Erlang.
Manbao looked up and met Bai Shan's eyes. They nodded slightly and looked at Yang Heshu who was walking over.
Yang Heshu introduced the young man next to him to everyone, "This is General Gong..."
The officials of Xiazhou City, including the governor, were placed under house arrest in the governor's mansion by the county magistrate Yang Heshu, and the remaining deputy governors, chief secretaries, and generals also took orders from Yang Heshu and Major General Gong.
At least that's what's happening on the surface right now.
But the proper etiquette was still maintained. Although Yang Heshu was now in charge of Xiazhou City, he still gave the seat at the head to Major General Gong, and the Beijia, Changshi and others also sat in their respective seats.
As a sixth-rank county magistrate, he couldn't get a good seat, so he simply stood and presided over the meeting.
After introducing the officials and generals from Xiazhou City, Yang Heshu introduced the people from the Imperial Hospital and the doctors in the city.
He got straight to the point and said, "Imperial Physician Lu has been ordered to lead the Imperial Hospital staff to support Xiazhou City."
Doctor Lu then took out a memorial with the amount of medicinal herbs he brought with him this time written on it... Yang Heshu accepted it on behalf of Xiazhou City and talked about the current epidemic situation.
Then the hall was handed over to the imperial physicians and doctors.
Manbao arrived four days early, and she spoke first, "The pulse cases I've seen in the past four days are all pretty much the same..."
Young General Gong sat there listening to a group of doctors discussing the prescription of medicine around the little girl's notebook. They were talking in words he could not understand at all, talking about deficiency and excess, which was even harder to learn than the classics.
But when he glanced to the side, he saw Yang Heshu standing there listening attentively, so he sat down and didn't move.
Before coming, Yang Heshu said that the two of them came here to provide support, and their main purpose was to let the Imperial Hospital and the doctors in Xiazhou City take over as soon as possible.
The situation in Xiazhou City cannot deteriorate any further. If the number of infected people cannot be reduced, even if they have an army, they may not be able to suppress the people in the city.
And this mainly depends on the doctors and imperial physicians sitting here.
More than a dozen doctors gathered together and debated fiercely for half an hour. Finally, they decided on the prescriptions corresponding to the most typical pulse cases. They tried their best to divide them into several situations and checked the current situation of medicinal materials. Then they looked at Doctor Lu and waited for him to assign tasks.
Doctor Lu pondered and said, "So the medical shed is most in need of doctors right now?"
"yes."
See you at 9pm
