Dressed as a big boss Bai Yueguang, God does not allow salted fish to lie down
Chapter 72 Unable to mass produce
The little girl's family had no money to treat her illness, and the clinic at the time had no good solution for her condition, so her family begged all the way here and abandoned the child here.
At that time, many of the lower-class people were forced to sell their children or abandon their own children due to the pressure of life.
Because the child's finger was scratched by a rusty iron nail, the wound was infected, she had a high fever, and her finger was swollen. If she was not given medicine, she would die.
Another reason for choosing her is that this child weighs less than an adult, so the dosage of medication will be relatively smaller.
The amount of penicillin produced in the first batch of the clinic's laboratory was only enough for a child of this age. If it was for an adult, it would not even be enough for one course of treatment, and the life-saving medicine would be wasted in vain.
In order to make the best use of this only medicine, she is the most suitable candidate at the moment.
Su Yuejian asked Shen Nanxing to lead everyone to continue producing penicillin. It would take another half a month for the next batch to come out.
The little girl was given a penicillin skin test and the small skin papules were observed, which showed no allergic reaction.
Su Yuejian injected the little girl with penicillin, three injections a day, for a week, and all the penicillin in the laboratory was used up.
The little girl's inflammation disappeared, her fever subsided, and she visibly regained her vitality.
At this point, the antibiotics were successfully produced, and Su Yuejian's breast cancer surgery preparations were 40% complete.
After the little girl recovered, she followed Su Yuejian, saying that she wanted to repay her kindness.
"Master Su, they all call you that. Can you accept me as your disciple? I have no home anymore." She was afraid that after she recovered from her illness, he would drive her out of the clinic.
Seeing that there was no other choice, Su Yue had to accept her, intending to train her to be a female nurse in the clinic.
" May I have your name?"
"My name is Zhaodi!"
Su Yuejian thought the name was not nice, so she gave her a new name, "Since you survived because of penicillin, from now on you will be called Su Qingmei!"
Because she is trained according to the standards of surgical nurses, and there are very few female students in the clinic nowadays, she has a lot to learn, such as instrument management, surgical rounds, preoperative visits, patient placement on the day of surgery, implementation of the postoperative checking system, prevention of errors and accidents, etc.
This is not something that can be accomplished in a short period of time, so for the time being, Xiao Qingmei should be placed in Haoyuexuan to learn to read. Once she has learned all the words, she will be placed in the clinic.
From then on, she followed Su Yuejian, Baiji and Shaoyao, and whoever was free would take her with them.
By seeing and hearing things every day, the clever and down-to-earth child will soon understand how the clinic operates.
Su Yuejian gave all the medical fees that Nangong Li paid last time to Shen Nanxing.
Su Yuejian asked him to take out two hundred taels to give bonuses to all the doctors this month, as a reward for everyone.
Shen Nanxing didn't expect that Su Yuejian had extorted such a large sum of money from the prince.
However, the prince's life is valuable, so let's use the money to develop the medical profession.
When the doctors in the clinic heard that there would be a generous bonus this month, they all cheered.
Su Yuejian understood a truth: anything done purely for love would not last long. One must always give the one he loves a decent life so that he can give his all without any worries!
Don’t you think so?
Seeing Qingmei come back to life, more patients in the clinic needed penicillin. However, the manual extraction of penicillin was very limited. Even if more manpower was added, the amount extracted in half a month would only be barely enough for one person.
The cooperation of so many people makes the cost of pharmaceutical manufacturing very high, so it is still difficult for ordinary people at the bottom to use it.
Even if the rich and powerful came to see a doctor, they would not be able to use it unless a batch of penicillin happened to be extracted. This led to a shortage of penicillin in the capital.
Su Yuejian discussed these issues with Shen Yuxin, Shen Nanxing and Bai Ji. Shen Yuxin received a letter from his son in Taiyuan. He heard that penicillin had been developed in the capital and wanted to take some to the soldiers at the border.
The extracted penicillin is also extremely unstable and cannot be transported over long distances unless it is refined locally.
But now this pitiful output is really a drop in the bucket.
Shen Nanxing asked Su Yuejian, "Can this method of penicillin extraction be made public?"
Su Yuejian had no objection to making the penicillin extraction method public, but doctors in outside clinics could only receive training and learn from this pharmacy and personally extract qualified penicillin before they could be qualified to make and prescribe medicines.
All doctors in the Imperial Hospital need to come to the clinic to learn and refine qualified penicillin before they can be allowed to become apprentices. Otherwise, refining medicine will not save lives, but kill them.
All qualified medical practitioners are given a certification so that medical clinics without certification cannot use penicillin.
This would solve the manpower problem and also increase the amount of penicillin currently extracted in the clinic.
To be on the safe side, the clinic tries to keep a portion of penicillin each time it is used, making sure there is always a spare portion of penicillin available.
Shen Yuxin went on to say, "Once they have completed their studies and are able to independently refine the drug, we can send them to the nine border towns and set up a penicillin workshop behind the battlefield. They can refine the drug day and night, and perhaps we can rush to produce some."
Bai Ji also had an idea, "Can we mobilize the women in the rear to join in collecting Penicillium and completing the step of Penicillium culture medium. If this step can be completed, it will save a week of time. In addition to the rear, our clinic can accept Penicillium from moldy food. As long as it meets the strain requirements, it can be purchased for a fee. This can also save time."
Su Yuejian raised another question, "This crude penicillin can only be injected, not taken orally or used externally.
But the injection requires a syringe, and I'm the only one currently.
If you want to use penicillin in other places, you need the doctors there to have syringes available."
Bai Ji thought this was not a problem. "Sister, where did you make this syringe? Can't we just make more?"
Su Yuejian smiled bitterly and said, "This syringe was left to me by my deceased master. I don't know where he got this medical tool.
However, the structure of this syringe is not complicated. Each component can be disassembled, made separately, and then assembled.
We can try to make it with metal.
The needles used for injections are hollow needles. Currently, the needles on the market are all solid needles. You can go to Jiuzhou Needle City and ask some needle-making masters if there is any way to make one."
Shen Nanxing concluded, "So we need to act separately. On the one hand, we need to let doctors at all levels of the Imperial Hospital learn and train the method of penicillin extraction, and on the other hand, we need to manufacture syringes.
I will be responsible for the training.
I will bring these skilled healers to do it, hoping to find a high-yielding strain.
As for the manufacturing of the syringe, Senior Sister will have to find a skilled craftsman."
Su Yuejian nodded in agreement.
After the meeting, everyone went their separate ways.
Su Yuejian found Su Quan and said, "The craftsman who made the surgical needle before, go back and see how it is made. I will draw a picture of the hollow needle used for the syringe and try to restore this structure.
If we can get it done, the sooner the better. Money is not a problem.”
Su Quanying agreed, and Su Yuejian gave him two hundred taels of silver notes and asked him to handle it.
Now that the needle has its direction, if you want to make the syringe exquisitely, you still need to find a skilled craftsman.
Su Yuejian thought about it and finally thought of Nangong Li. He was the most suitable person to find.
He holds a position in the Maritime Bureau. In addition to local craftsmen, he also has raw materials from overseas. You can get twice the result with half the effort by turning to him.
It was time to remove Nangong Li's stitches. Su Yuejian found Uncle Wei and asked him to go to Prince Rong's Mansion to tell Zhao Gang to remind Nangong Li to come and remove the stitches.
As a result, Uncle Wei brought back a message that Nangong Li wanted the princess to go to the villa to find him tomorrow.
On the same day, Princess Xinyue, Hu Bilian, was invited by the Concubine Dowager to be a guest. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the Concubine Dowager was worrying about her son's marriage again.
