Chapter 2389 Strong Medicine (April Monthly Ticket Plus 22)
The two of them worked hard, giving injections, feeding medicine, and cooling the patient down with cold water. The patient finally stopped convulsing, but his temperature was still very high.
Doctor Lu had already dug out his records and after carefully examining them, he said, "Everything was normal before today. He had five pimples, which were gradually maturing. He had a low-grade fever before, but it's gone today."
He showed Zhou Man the records and said, "Doctor Liu checked it this morning and found no problems."
Manbao looked at it, frowned and asked the person who shared the room with him, "When did he become abnormal?"
The other five people had already huddled aside, staying far away, as if they were afraid of being infected, but they had already developed the smallpox from the vaccination.
One person shivered and said, "Just after lunch. He was fine while we were eating. He just scratched the pimple on his arm and said we should be able to go out in a few days."
"We followed the adults' instructions and went out to bask in the sun after dinner. We walked around the neighborhood and then came back for a nap. When we woke up, we found him humming. When we touched him, he was burning hot. We immediately reported it to the steward outside."
Doctor Lu secretly calculated the time and found that there should be no delay, so he nodded to Zhou Man.
So the two of them became even more worried, because this showed that his illness was very serious.
When it comes to diseases like smallpox, they are afraid that it will develop slowly and take a long time to develop, but they are also afraid that it will develop quickly and be too hasty, revealing a person's true nature in an instant.
Doctor Lu thought for a moment and then said to the steward, "Go clear out a room and have the five of them move out."
Manbao began to write a prescription, listing all the things that might be needed. After handing it to the steward, he said, "Have someone move all these medicines and things here."
She turned to Doctor Lu and said, "Shall we stay here tonight?"
Doctor Lu could only nod, what else could he do?
He ordered the steward, "Go out and tell someone to bring in my bedding and that of Doctor Zhou."
He doesn't want to sleep on the same bed that someone else has slept on.
The steward quickly bowed in agreement and left quickly.
The two of them sat by the bed, facing each other and staring at the patient on the bed.
After thinking about it, Manbao carefully took his hand, rolled up his sleeves and looked at the wound where he had been vaccinated. The five pimples near the wound were now red and swollen, and there was no sign of them receding as before.
Manbao stretched out his finger and gently pressed the pimple, frowning and saying, "It's hard, like it's new."
Doctor Lu flipped through the booklet, saying in a very bad mood, "This patient was not only examined by Doctor Liu, but also by Doctor Zheng and I. We have our signatures on it. There was clearly nothing wrong with him at the time. How could he suddenly break out all over his body, and in such a sudden manner?"
Manbao asked, "Which cow was the one that gave him the cowpox vaccine?"
Doctor Lu turned another page and said, "Number three is bullish..."
At this point, Doctor Lu paused and frowned slightly, "But everyone in this ward has received the same vaccination with the No. 3 cowpox vaccine as him. Not only him, but also the wards nearby."
Manbao reached out and touched his forehead, thinking that the medicine was about to take effect, so he simply stood up and said, "Send someone over to keep an eye on him, and we'll go check on the others."
Doctor Lu had no choice but to go out with her, leaving two people here to guard him.
The soldiers who were closely guarding them were those who had been vaccinated against smallpox and brought back from the Western Regions. They had already had smallpox and were not afraid of being infected again.
They were very familiar with Zhou and greeted her as soon as they came in.
Doctor Lu had already hurried to the side.
Manbao nodded to them and trotted off to catch up with Doctor Lu.
The two examined everyone in the nearby wards, feeling their pulses, checking their tongues, and carefully examining the rashes on their bodies. They pressed on them, and found nothing wrong with them. They were indeed gradually maturing. Two of them had even begun to scab and fall off, and they should be healed in two days.
Manbao and Doctor Lu were worried. "Is this a unique case, or are there other people like this hidden among these many cases?"
Manbao asked, "How many people have been vaccinated by Bull No. 3?"
Doctor Lu flipped through the records and said, "Sixty-five."
That’s a lot, they only checked twenty-three people.
Manbao frowned slightly and looked up at the setting sun in the sky, "It's getting dark."
Doctor Lu was also worried. He turned around twice and said, "Send someone to tell Dean Xiao that if there are still people with high fever tonight, we won't be able to handle it. First, check the people who were vaccinated with the third type of cowpox, and then check the others as well."
The two of them were simply not enough to carry out such a detailed inspection.
Manbao could only nod.
So Doctor Lu went to call for help.
The two of them had dinner at the door of the ward. They ate the nutritious meal for the patients, which came in a large bowl as big as their face, filled with rice and a lot of vegetables piled on top.
Doctor Lu was so sleepy at this moment that he had no appetite. After picking out half a bowl of food, he looked up and saw Zhou Man, who was squatting beside him, had already finished all the food and was picking out the few grains of rice stuck to the wall of the bowl.
Doctor Lu: ...
He sighed, put down the bowl and stopped eating.
Manbao looked at him sympathetically, poured him a glass of water, then picked up the teapot and poured a bowl of water into her own bowl. She squatted beside him holding the bowl and drank the water.
Doctor Lu sipped the water while looking at her, "Doctor Zhou, your appetite is so poor, how about I check your body?"
Manbao said, "I still want to check you out."
She glanced at the bowl on the ground with a sympathetic look on her face. "Doctor Lu, even my father can eat a big bowl of rice now."
When the Zhou family held a wedding banquet, he had to attend the banquet as a colleague and had met Old Zhou. When he thought of Old Zhou's age, Doctor Lu's face darkened and he turned around and left without paying any attention to her.
"Doctor Zhou, once you're full, get back to work."
The two men only examined the patients in one room. Before they finished, the soldier who was staring at patient number 121 came running over and said, "Doctor Zhou, he seems to be getting hotter and hotter. He's having a twitch again."
Manbao and Doctor Lu went over immediately. After taking a look at the patient, Doctor Lu said helplessly, "We can only use acupuncture again."
He looked at the time on the hourglass, frowned and thought for a while, and finally after feeling his temperature, he gritted his teeth and said, "Make him another dose of medicine."
Manbao said, "It's only been an hour since I last gave you the medicine."
Doctor Lu saw that he was already twitching. While holding down his hands and feet to stabilize him while Zhou Man inserted the needles, he said, "Give him medicine! He's delirious from the fever now. Judging by how fast the rash is coming out, if you don't give him medicine, he'll be gone soon."
Manbao stopped talking, and Doctor Lu immediately sent someone to bring the medicine.
The medicine was being heated in the kitchen. As soon as I called, it was brought over immediately.
Just as Doctor Lu was about to administer the medicine, Xiao Yuanzheng, looking exhausted, arrived with Doctor Liu.
