Chapter 167 The Destroyer of Indians (3)

"The human body is like a precise instrument, which is constantly operating under the command of the brain." In the Taoist temple in Baicaogou Township, Ye Yongxing, from the Religious Affairs Office, was explaining human body knowledge in several scholars from the Corps.

He saw him holding a human structure diagram - this is a diagram drawn by Taoist Medical Research Association through human anatomy - and said to the students who are learning with him: "The brain is the command system, the heart is like a pump, muscles, cartilage, fibers, blood vessels are like levers, springs, pulleys and pipes. When the machine is running normally, our body is in a healthy state. When the machine fails, such as the machine breaks down, lack of fuel, and excessive mechanical friction, it means that our body is in an unhealthy state. In fact, many diseases are caused by organ infection, blood vessel blockage, parasite invasion, etc. We can relieve these diseases through external surgery or drugs, just like machine repairers repairing damaged machines - of course, due to technical factors, we are unable to replace damaged parts, which has to be said to be a big regret."

Ye Yongxing is the director of the Religious Affairs Department, one of the four Taoist real people, and has been making his own efforts to promote Taoism nationwide. Taking a different approach from the medical field is one of the solutions he came up with, that is, he wants to expand the influence of Taoism through researching medicine and setting up Taoist hospitals to develop more believers. His efforts, together with Zhao Yan and Zhao, who are focused on pioneering and civil affairs (helping immigrants to solve their wives and livestock), Yu Ci, who is focused on the construction of the City God Temple and Taoist temple (also responsible for helping believers deal with weddings, funerals and other weddings), and Wang Bao, who is focused on the compilation and updating of doctrines, has continuously promoted the steady development of Taoism in the East Coast Republic - it is currently the first throne, which is spread throughout the country. However, there are only two Catholic churches (one in Dongfang County and one in Ping'an County).

The students he is teaching now are only ten years old, but they have experienced a ten-year closed education in the Corps Fort in Luoqia County. The basic knowledge is quite good, and they are all relatively devout Taoist believers. This time they are fortunate to learn medical knowledge with Ye Zhenren, and they have also experienced fierce competition.

After all, Taoism has not had much source of funding at present. Apart from the national financial allocation, only believers raise funds, so the funds that can be used for medical research are definitely limited. It is impossible to recruit students on a large scale - Besides, the Ministry of Health is also doing this large-scale training of medical talents, and it is not their turn. Taoist churches, Nantie Company and other groups who are interested in researching medicine can only be used as supplements for medical research, and are temporarily unable to cultivate medical talents on a large scale, research new drugs, etc. For example, Nantie Company is currently mainly responsible for the prevention and treatment of certain types of diseases, and Taoist churches are also very similar. They are more concerned about diseases that are prevalent in infants and young children, and have devoted a lot of energy to research.

Just as Ye Yongxing was planning to talk to these students in depth, a young Taoist priest in the next room hurried over and said in a slightly trembling voice: "Real person, the false membrane in the child's throat has begun to fade. Horse serum is really useful!"

Ye Yongxing was also shocked when he heard this. At this time, he didn't care about the lecture. As soon as he put the lesson plan, he hurriedly walked into the next room, and the students of the Corps and Fort also followed his steps into the room.

There was a dying boy lying on the hospital bed in the room. His father sat aside, with a slightly excited look and a little uneasy. It seemed that he could not confirm whether his child had been pulled back from the brink of death.

In fact, the doctors were unable to confirm that they only saw that the bacteria that reproduced in the throat were temporarily suppressed, but no one could be sure what would happen later - because a cruel fact was before them. In the twenty years since the founding of the East Coast Republic of China, countless children have suffered from diphtheria, and the mortality rate is extremely high. Especially for diphtheria, which is of a relatively serious degree, it is almost 100% mortality rate.

Everyone present had seen the scene when the child was sent. He was very sick at that time. After the trachea was cut by the doctor with a scalpel, the back of the throat was like a white velvet, full of pseudo-membrane. At that time, the doctors inserted a cannula into the incision of his throat to help the blocked respiratory tract resume breathing, but this could only slightly delay the disease, because the inclusion of the cannula was gradually blocked. If this was in the past, the child's death could be basically declared, because if the laryngeal insemination gave him an extra time to get rid of the infection, the doctor would be helpless. After all, they had no special means or drugs to treat him.

But the little boy's father, a tough Scottish sailor, begged the doctors to save his child, so after a brief discussion, Ye Yongxing decided to use an immature treatment method, which is to use anti-toxic drugs made from serum from horses that have immune effects on diphtheria for treatment. Since it is still in the exploration stage, the effect of this anti-toxic drug is limited and the success rate is not very high. To be immoral, the doctors in the church once used Guarani children to do experiments. Only 2 of the six children were cured and survived, and the other 4 were dead. However, in the absence of any help, they could only be treated as a living horse. After all, this is better than doing nothing.

Later, Ye Yongxing himself injected a small dose of anti-toxic drugs into the little boy's skin to observe whether it works. What is exciting is that the child was very lucky. His body successfully produced antibodies, and the momentum of bacterial reproduction was curbed. The doctors also took the opportunity to replace a cannula in the child's throat and prepare to continue observing the condition.

"Inject the second dose of antibiotics to this child, and then inject it under the skin of the stomach." After carefully observing the little boy's throat, Ye Yongxing gave an order to a Taoist priest (part-time doctor) he trusted the most. The doctor nodded, then took out a set of expensive handmade medical devices from the medical box and prepared to inject antibiotics into the child.

The child's father watched all this nervously, and the others held their breath until the doctor successfully completed the injection. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Below was the anxious waiting, especially for the child's father, who had been sailing outside for many years, he was undoubtedly full of love for his child. He could not accept that his child was taken away by the disease, especially when he had not touched the child's little head several times due to work. He looked at the toy gun that the child grabbed in his little hand, bit his lips tightly, and sat there stiffly.

Ye Yongxing didn't have the intention of class at this time, so everyone just sat down and waited quietly for the development of the disease. The Taoist priest who had injected the child with anti-toxic drugs just now went to check some children's throats and trachea every once in a while, and the results of the examination were quite exciting, because the pseudo-membrane in the child's throat was rapidly ablation, which proved that the anti-toxic drugs worked!

The atmosphere in the room gradually became lively, and Ye Yongxing was also very happy. If the child could eventually recover, he would be the first person to be cured in the history of the East Coast. This news will surely cause a sensation across the country. At that time, thousands of parents who are troubled by the diphtheria epidemic will cry out with joy, because they no longer have to hold the sick children in their arms helplessly and watch them die. If the publicity department cooperates with some in-depth reports, I believe that this has immeasurable positive significance for expanding the reputation and influence of Taoism or the gathering of the hearts of the entire East Coast.

At night, after careful examination, the doctor announced that the pseudo-membrane in the child's throat had completely disappeared and the blocked trachea had returned to unblocking. This means that if no secondary infection occurs in the later stage, the child can almost be declared successfully cured.

This news soon spread throughout the Taoist temple, and everyone was very happy because this was the first serious infectious disease conquered by the Taoist Association and it was definitely worthy of a special book.

Ye Yongxing looked at everyone with a smile, then walked to the child's father, and said to him with a smile: "I'm very lucky that the child was saved. The Heavenly Lord wanted the child to survive, so he gave us a treatment method."

The child's sailor father pulled off the cross hanging around his neck hard, then slowly knelt down to the ground, kissed Ye Yongxing's boot tip, and said in a trembling voice: "Yes, Tianzun wants Xiao Luoke to survive, Tianzun likes him very much. Xiao Luoke will learn more knowledge in the future. The teacher said that he is very smart and he will definitely become a decent person."

"We all like Little Rock, too." Ye Yongxing smiled and helped the child's father up. The mother died when she was very young. His mother from Hebei, Daming, died of tuberculosis. If the only child who grew up at this time died again (their other two children died of tetanus and cholera respectively), maybe this tall and strong sailor would collapse on the spot.

"Little Rock will become a glorious navy in the future. This is his dream. He is much better than me, the sinful father." The sailor gently moved away Ye Yongxing's hand to help him up, and then said a shocking sentence in calm words: "I am a sinful person. I hope the Heavenly Lord can forgive and accept my confession. I am a shameful spy, and the English Parliament assigned me. On the east coast, I have many accomplices, and some of them have even become grassroots officials. If you need it, I will assist you in the arrest. I don't want to serve those shameless merchants and nobles anymore. They never care about the suffering of the people, and my children will never have the opportunity to receive education. They..."

Ye Yongxing stared blankly at the man who was kneeling at his feet without saying a word. After a long time he sighed, he resolutely helped the sailor up and said, "Follow me to meet the agents of the Mei agency, believe me, you will be forgiven for your meritorious performance. If you are willing to serve us in reverse, there will be no problem."

"Of course I do!" said the sailor without hesitation. (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
