Chapter 277 An infectious disease broke out, and Lu Jiuzhen’s name was heard again after many years!
Large-scale infectious diseases broke out in Jun City, near the northern capital of the Red Country, and in the two river provinces below it, and even spread to Su Province and Shanghai.
When this infectious disease first appeared, people thought it was just a common cold and fever, but by the third day, the patients' conditions would rapidly deteriorate. Their lungs would suddenly become necrotic, and the patients would soon be unable to breathe on their own. In the end, they could only watch themselves suffocate to death bit by bit.
People who had previously caught a cold began to worsen and die, and only then did people realize that this disease was unusual.
However, by this time the epidemic had already spread.
Several provinces and cities became a living hell almost overnight. Every hospital was packed with patients, and even the outsides of the hospitals were surrounded by patients.
As soon as any symptoms of cold or fever appear, it immediately causes panic among the people.
Everyone rushed to the hospital, the only way to survive. In the end, the hospital was surrounded so tightly that no one could even get close to it. The remaining people who did not want to wait for death began to seek medical treatment in surrounding provinces and cities.
In this way, the plague spread even faster, and the northern region was filled with the painful cries of the people.
These provinces and cities quickly sent calls for help to Kyoto, which quickly ordered all medical personnel to do their best to treat the people and develop treatment plans.
However, the current medical level in their country is very backward, and many people still do not receive treatment, and they have no idea about the treatment plan.
The government responded to this infectious disease extremely quickly. It was reported as soon as it was discovered, and the higher-ups responded immediately. However, it broke out too quickly and its spread could not be controlled.
The patient died within a short period of time after falling ill, which made it impossible for medical staff to treat him.
In order to stabilize the people and prevent the disease from spreading everywhere, and to give them hope of life, Minister Shen even went from Kyoto to Jun City to personally preside over the rescue of the plague.
Minister Shen's arrival did indeed greatly stabilize the people's hearts. Because of their trust in Minister Shen, people in the epidemic area finally stopped wandering around, but without a cure, the epidemic was still spreading rapidly.
Seeing that Western medicine had been unable to come up with an effective treatment plan, Minister Shen ordered Chinese medicine to join in, saying that it didn't matter whether the cat was black or white, whether it was Chinese or Western medicine, as long as the infectious disease could be cured and controlled.
It was already one o'clock in the morning, and Minister Shen was personally presiding over a discussion of treatment plans with Chinese and Western medicine personnel invited from all countries at the First People's Hospital of Jun City.
With Minister Shen present in person, this is a great opportunity to show off. Under normal circumstances, these Chinese and Western medicine practitioners would definitely be very active in showing off, but this infectious disease is so tricky that everyone on the scene spoke very cautiously.
After two or three hours of discussion, they still couldn't come up with an effective treatment plan. Minister Shen's face became increasingly gloomy.
It's not that he is harsh, but if they can't come up with a treatment plan, they will face more people contracting the epidemic and more people losing their lives tomorrow.
Now the people have stayed because they trust their government and stopped the spread of the virus, but if they still can't come up with an effective treatment plan, how long can this stability last? And he can't bear to see the people who trust them end up not getting treatment.
Seeing Minister Shen's expression, the people in the conference room dared not say a word.
Just when the atmosphere was tense, there was a knock on the door of the conference room.
The visitor was a director of the First People's Hospital of Jun City. After being allowed in, he didn't care about anything else and excitedly said to Director Chen of their hospital, "Director Chen, a patient in our medical team has had a fever."
Everyone in the conference room was shocked when the news came out, because none of the patients they were currently seeing had their fevers reduced.
Dean Chen's voice trembled with excitement as he asked, "Really? How is the patient now?"
"The patient's temperature has returned to normal, her cough symptoms have been greatly alleviated, and most importantly, she is breathing smoothly. She almost suffocated due to breathing difficulties before."
Hearing this answer, the people present were extremely surprised. Even Minister Shen was so excited that he stood up and interrupted to ask, "Comrade, how did you treat this patient?"
"This..." When asked, the visitor showed hesitation on his face.
Dean Chen looked at it and said angrily: "Old Jiang, Minister Shen is asking you a question. If you have a treatment method, please tell us quickly. This is a matter of life and death."
Seeing that Dr. Jiang was sweating profusely, Minister Shen thought that the other party had used some extraordinary means and was hard to say, so he gently encouraged him:
"Doctor Jiang, right? Saving lives is our top priority right now. Just tell me how you treated this patient. I promise we'll use any method that's not against the law."
Sure enough, after hearing this, the other party calmed down a lot and said, "Minister Shen... Minister Shen, the patient was not cured by our hospital."
Hearing this answer, Minister Shen and the others were shocked again. Dean Chen hurriedly asked: "It wasn't cured by our hospital, how do you say this?"
"The patient was cured by taking the medicine sent from home."
"Decoction? What decoction? Lao Jiang, have you figured it out?" Dean Chen asked.
"We've figured it out. This patient had been waiting in line for treatment. As you know, Director Chen, our hospital's medical resources are very limited, so the patient waited for two days without getting treated.
This morning, the patient's parents saw that she was about to die, so they made some medicine at home for her to drink. Who would have thought that after taking three doses of the medicine, the patient's condition improved greatly.
We rushed to see the patient after hearing about this incident from the public, and sure enough, the patient's condition has almost recovered."
After hearing what Dr. Jiang said, everyone present was so excited that they all asked in unison, "What is this medicine?"
"Yes, Lao Jiang, please tell us what kind of medicine the patient is drinking." Dean Chen added.
"I heard from the patient's parents that this is a prescription left by an old and famous doctor in our Jun City. You may also know this old man, Dean Chen."
"Who?" Dean Chen was puzzled. He had already invited all the Chinese medicine doctors that could be named in Jun City.
"Does President Chen still remember Mr. Lu Ruhai?" asked Dr. Jiang.
"You...are you talking about the former head of the Lu family, a family of traditional Chinese medicine, Senior Lu, who was known as Lu Jiuzhen?" Dean Chen asked excitedly.
