Chapter 2084 On Track
The prescription, which had been revised several times by observing the patient's condition, began to be circulated to various places through the Xiazhou City Government Office. Doctor Lu watched the official put the five prescriptions written by Zhou Man in the official documents and left, and he couldn't help but sigh.
Some time ago, Zhou Man revised several prescriptions. They used them on some patients and then modified them according to their reactions. Combined with his previous prescription, it can basically treat all smallpox patients.
Adults, women, children, the elderly, the weak, and the healthy, the prescriptions used for each type of people are different, but once these prescriptions are modified, they are basically suitable for the several types of patients with pulse conditions they are currently seeing.
One of the prescriptions was his, three were from Zhou Man, and one was previously devised by the doctors in Xiazhou City.
He thought that everyone would keep it to themselves afterwards, but Zhou Man directly announced it to everyone.
Doctor Lu glanced at Zhou Man, and remembered that she had always been generous when it came to medical skills, so he didn't say anything.
He put his hands behind his back and turned around and said, "Let's go, everyone go check on the new patients admitted today.
Up to now, there are people who are cured and leave the medical tent every day, and the number is already more than the number of people who die and are carried out every day.
Of course, there are quite a few patients admitted every day.
But seeing the patients who are cured and pass away every day, the doctors' passion is always rekindled and they continue to immerse themselves in their patients.
For half a month in a row, Manbao has not slept more than three hours a day, but he still feels pretty energetic.
Bai Shan has to work harder than Zhou Man. She is very tired, but what she is doing now is curing illnesses, which is what she is good at.
Bai Shan is different. He is now Yang Heshu's right-hand man. This is the first time he has taken over these government affairs. Although he has Yang Heshu's guidance, many things are done for the first time and require a lot of effort.
But the benefits are also obvious. With the joint efforts of county officials, the resentment of the people in the city has decreased a lot. Now the city gate will be opened three times a day, each time for about half an hour, and no one will try to break through the gate or sneak out of the capital.
Since the imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Bureau arrived in Xiazhou City, those families who were eager to leave the city have calmed down and turned to put pressure on the county government and the imperial physicians to seek medical treatment.
But now the two people in charge of Xiazhou City, one is Yang Heshu, and his own wife lives in the separate courtyard for treatment; one is General Gong, and his younger brother, one cousin, three nephews and two sisters-in-law are also receiving treatment in the separate courtyard. Why should other people make exceptions for the imperial doctors?
Not to mention Manbao and Doctor Lu, those people couldn't even invite Doctor Zheng who was busy in the other hospital. In the end, they obediently sent the patient to the other hospital for unified treatment.
Those who have female relatives in the hospital would like to specially invite Manbao.
At first, the man bypassed Yang Heshu and went through the manager of the medical tent to find Manbao. Manbao did not refuse and just said, "Wait until I finish seeing the patient I have."
But...how can she finish seeing all the patients she has?
The manager who came to ask for help covered his mouth and nose and followed Zhou Man to several medical tents from morning to afternoon. Seeing that there were still so many patients who had not been seen, he could not help but urge him a few times, but Manbao ignored him and instead ordered him to do things, asking him to help bring hot water, find a stove and so on.
When the steward finally left, the sun was about to set, but Zhou Man was not idle either. Apart from eating and drinking water, she hardly stopped.
The manager left silently, went from one house to another, and in any case, Manbao's surroundings were quite busy during those few days.
When no more people came, Manbao felt a little sorry. As he squatted in the cold wind with his bowl and Dr. Luo to help them eat, he said, "It's actually good that they come. They never come empty-handed, and there are always people to help."
Assistant Doctors Qin and Luo also missed it. "The roast chicken that Madam Chen sent last time was quite good. What a pity."
Manbao nodded in agreement, "What a pity."
It’s a pity that she could only have one meal, and now no one comes to see her anymore.
The three of them sighed, then continued to eat the cabbage in their bowls and eat with their rice. Assistant Doctor Qin told them the news he had heard, "I heard that there will be vegetable dumplings tomorrow morning."
Manbao was a little happier, "Vegetable dumplings are better than cabbage with rice."
The two medical assistants also thought so.
"Manbao——"
Manbao turned his head to look and saw Bai Shan coming over with two food boxes. He handed one to Qin, the medical assistant, and said with a smile, "These are homemade dumplings. The two medical assistants, please have a try."
Assistant Doctor Qin and Assistant Doctor Luo's eyes lit up, and they immediately took the lunch boxes and went to another corner to eat, leaving this seat to them.
Manbao also stared at...the food box with sharp eyes!
Bai Shan opened the lunch box and said, "This was made by Li Jun. It's made with beef and has beef bone soup."
Manbao drank the soup first. After taking a sip of the steaming hot soup, she felt alive again. She asked, "Doctor Lu..."
I had someone deliver it."
Manbao nodded and sighed, "Now it's only my fourth brother who has meat. Does anyone else in the city have much meat to eat?"
Bai Shan nodded. "Even vegetables are scarce. Now a medical tent has been built outside the city. I have contacted people in the past two days and plan to go out to inspect the village tomorrow. I will check if there are any vegetables, meat, or eggs. If there are, I will buy some back."
He said, "It may take me seven or eight days to come back."
Manbao was surprised, "So long?"
Bai Shan nodded. "Xuexiong Yang and I have decided to visit all the villages under the jurisdiction of Xiazhou City and count the number of people infected. Some villages are isolated and have sealed themselves off after the outbreak. I'm afraid they don't know about the free medicine and medical treatment outside. We need to go and count and notify them."
Manbao asked, "Do you want to bring a doctor?"
"We only brought one military doctor," he paused and then smiled, "because you took over all the patients in the barracks, Major General Gong generously gave us the military doctor this time. With the five prescriptions you gave us, as long as the pulse diagnosis is accurate, we can prescribe medicine to save the patient."
"Didn't you say that there weren't enough herbs? How many did you take away this time?"
"Not many," Bai Shan roughly stated the number of various medicinal herbs he had brought, then said, "News has arrived from the capital. The Ministry of Revenue has sent another batch of medicinal herbs. This time, they are also accompanied by students from the Imperial Medical Bureau and doctors recruited from the public. The official document states that there are 28 people in total."
Manbao was surprised, "So many people?"
Bai Shan nodded.
Manbao said happily, "Once they arrive, we'll have some free time. When will they arrive?"
"It will be here in a couple of days," Bai Shan asked in a low voice, "So, have you told your father-in-law about the pills?"
Manbao's face turned bitter, and he nodded and said, "I told you, it's no problem."
Bai Shan was amused and reached out to touch her head and said, "I will also be careful when I travel this time. If I see any rare flowers or plants, I will dig them up for you."
See you at 9pm
