Chapter 443 The Chinese people will always be of one mind.
Jiang Ning and Grandpa Huang stayed in the inner room for the entire night. Huang Xiaodong went in several times to bring them water and food.
Seeing how hard his grandfather and Sister Ning worked for the lives of tens of thousands of people, he also set a goal to study medicine diligently.
Disasters are never a one-person affair.
It wasn't until the morning of the next day that Jiang Ning and Grandpa Huang came out of the inner room.
Both of them spontaneously broke into smiles and relaxed expressions.
Jiang Ning spent the entire night in the inner room searching for a way to treat the plague with Grandpa Huang, while Shen Mo kept watch outside all night.
Seeing the relaxed expression on Jiang Ning's face, Shen Mo thought of something and walked over, "Wife, it's done?"
Jiang Ning nodded, "Yes, it's all thanks to the old man."
Grandpa Huang laughed and said, "Ning girl, don't say that. Although the treatment methods in my medical book are complete, they are not effective enough to cure the Black Death. What you have in your head is much more powerful than this box of medical books of mine."
Jiang Ning said, "Grandpa, whether traditional Chinese medicine can rise again because of this depends on me alone."
After saying that, she turned to look at Shen Mo, "Amo, let's go back to the hospital."
"good."
Although Jiang Ning was in good spirits, the fatigue in her eyes was obvious. Shen Mo felt sorry for her, but he knew that this matter was urgent and he could not afford to feel sorry for her.
Just as Shen Mo left with Jiang Ning, Old Master Huang gave Huang Xiaodong a prescription.
"This is the prescription and research method for treating the plague. Go and write a sign and put it outside."
Huang Xiaodong looked puzzled. "Grandpa, what should we write?"
Mr. Huang said, "Those infected with the plague will receive free medical treatment at Rendetang."
In the past, Huang Xiaodong would have been puzzled by his grandfather's decision, but he remembered what Sister Ning had just said: the rise of traditional Chinese medicine cannot be accomplished by her alone.
Now he understands what Grandpa and Sister Ning meant.
After this incident, Rendetang will probably be known to everyone.
Fame and fortune may sound unpleasant, but with fame comes people who will come knocking on your door.
Shen Mo took Jiang Ning back to Hospital 615. After a night, the test results came out. Fortunately, everyone's test results were negative, except for the police officer who brought the homeless man, whose test result was positive.
The homeless man spent some time in prison, and the prisoners there are probably in grave danger.
Jiang Ning immediately instructed Dean Kong to arrange for people to go to the prison to check and disinfect the prisoners and police officers, then count the number of people and put them into quarantine.
Dean Kong agreed. He not only arranged for people to go to the prison to check the prisoners and police officers, but also reported to the medical and health departments to carry out disinfection measures on the streets of the capital. Then he gathered all the homeless people together and had them tested one by one with blood.
The news of the plague spread rapidly and even alarmed the newspapers.
When an epidemic occurs, it is natural to take preventive measures. Newspapers must report on it and let the public know how to take preventive measures.
The prevention and control of the epidemic is of utmost urgency, and dealing with an epidemic is never a one-person job.
Dean Kong gave an interview to the newspaper, where he talked about some epidemic prevention measures and how to avoid contact with patients.
When Jiang Ning returned to the hospital, she took two doctors, Liu and Lü, to the pharmacy to get the medicine. Then she asked Dr. Liu to bring all the traditional Chinese medicine doctors in the hospital, including the interns.
Dr. Lü couldn't help but ask, "Dr. Jiang, are we going to use traditional Chinese medicine to control the plague?"
Jiang Ning nodded, "I consulted medical books and came up with a prescription that can effectively treat the plague. We need to develop pills. Although the number of people counted so far is not large, the number of infected people is definitely more than what we have counted so far. Let's make more to meet the needs of prevention later."
Upon hearing Jiang Ning's words, Dr. Lü was shocked. "Dr. Jiang, do you mean you already have a way to cure the plague?"
Jiang Ning said, "Whether it works or not depends on the efficacy of the medicine."
Over the years of working with Jiang Ning, Dr. Lü's trust in her had reached the point of blind devotion.
Although Jiang Ning did not explicitly say that she could cure the plague, he was certain that Jiang Ning must have found a way.
They called someone to take away more than a dozen kinds of medicinal herbs from the pharmacy, packed them in sacks, and took them to an open space behind the hospital.
Then she had someone buy several distillation pots. Distillation pots are usually used for brewing, but the pills she was developing required such distillation pots for purification.
A single distillation pot requires several people to operate simultaneously.
Despite Jiang Ning bringing in all the doctors from the Traditional Chinese Medicine department, they were still short-handed.
"Lemon."
At this moment, Xu Jin walked over, followed by several doctors from the Western medicine department.
"How did you all get here?" Jiang Ning asked in surprise.
Xu Jin raised an eyebrow and said, "Our Western medicine department doesn't have any effective treatment plans for this plague. I saw that you've made such a big fuss, so you must need a lot of manpower. That's why I brought people over to help. However, I didn't bring any doctors who already have patients."
At this moment, the doctors from the Western medicine department spoke up one after another—
"Director Jiang, is there anything we can do for you?"
"Director Jiang, you can make the arrangements as you see fit. We'll do whatever you tell us to do."
"......."
Jiang Ning looked at them, feeling a touch of emotion in her heart.
They were immediately assigned to the traditional Chinese medicine team to help prepare the medicine.

With the help of the health authorities, most of the homeless in the capital were diagnosed with the Black Death and were then taken to hospitals for isolation.
Meanwhile, at the prison, the people sent by Dean Kong to conduct the tests returned and, after processing the results, found that most of the people tested positive.
This shows how fast the plague spreads.
These are just the infected individuals identified through centralized testing; there are likely still some people who came into unintentional contact with infected individuals and are still in the incubation period.
During this epidemic, the building that Director Hu had built for filming came in handy.
All the infected patients were sent to that building for isolation.
The only ones who can care for these patients are the hospital's medical staff.
The epidemic is no small matter. For this reason, Dean Kong held a meeting with all medical staff and asked them to raise their hands if they did not want to take care of infected people.
Those who are unwilling can simply take care of ordinary patients.
However, not a single person present raised their hand.
Dean Kong looked at everyone and his eyes reddened. No matter what, the Chinese people will always be of one mind.
Since there were other patients in the hospital, Director Kong eventually divided the patients into two groups: one to take care of ordinary patients and the other to take care of infected patients.
