Bright Sword: Follow Kong's fun and build the strongest military industry
Chapter 424: Injecting Penicillin into the Wounded
When the people around heard about this situation, they could only lower their heads in pain. Faced with this life-or-death situation, the chances of this young and excellent soldier surviving were very slim.
After hearing this, Kong Hao quickly said, "Take me there quickly, this soldier can still be saved."
After hearing this, Dean Zhao's eyes suddenly lit up. He had just forgotten about this matter. If this thing called penicillin was really useful, then this outstanding young soldier could still survive.
Then, several people rushed to the ward and found that the little soldier was in the most dangerous situation.
Kong Hao gave the latest order without saying anything: "Technician Hua, quickly measure the body temperature and record it. Then measure the body temperature every half an hour."
"Others prepare to conduct relevant skin tests."
After saying that, he took out a special syringe and saline solution from the box. These things were exchanged from the system and were very cheap.
After everything is ready, we will first conduct a skin test on the injured to see the specific effects.
Then, he introduced the specific steps in detail: "President Zhao, the operation method of this penicillin is very simple. Just inject the saline solution into this small bottle."
"However, this drug may cause allergies in certain groups of people and may have certain side effects, so a special skin test should be performed before injection."
At this time, Dean Zhao suddenly asked: "Xiao Kong, will these side effects endanger the lives of the injured?"
"Dean, if you are allergic to penicillin, the main symptoms are itchy skin, headache, dizziness, difficulty breathing, etc. As for life-threatening, the chances are not high."
Dean Zhao felt relieved when he heard that these were the only questions. At the same time, he said with a hint of meaning:
"Then there is no need to wait for the skin test results. Immediately inject all of them. The patient's condition is very critical now. His life may be in danger at any time. As for the side effects you mentioned, they are insignificant compared to life."
Only then did Kong Hao realize that he had made another empiricist mistake.
The conditions now are not like those in later generations. Penicillin is available in large quantities in a small rural clinic, and any slight allergic reaction is a big deal.
To put it bluntly, the twenty bottles of penicillin in his hands are the only ones available in the whole of China, and there are not many of them in the world.
Just as Dean Zhao said, people are about to die, and no one cares about such minor side effects.
Even if the side effects are huge, even if they exceed 50%, we can only take a gamble when facing the most critical situation.
After all, being able to save half of the seriously injured and dying patients is a meritorious deed. This is the real situation we are facing now, which is extremely cruel.
Next, Kong Hao quickly injected a whole bottle of penicillin into the young soldier in front of him, and at the insistence of Dean Zhao, he injected penicillin into the other four wounded soldiers who were also in very critical conditions.
The reason for doing this is, on the one hand, that the effectiveness of the new drug can only be seen with a large number of people, and on the other hand, the condition of these four people is also not good and their lives are in danger at any time.
To use a very inappropriate metaphor to describe it: "Treat a dead horse as a living one". As long as one or two wounded people can be rescued, it will be considered a profit.
After the penicillin injection, President Zhao took Kong Hao and Minister Zhang to visit the headquarters hospital.
The main purpose, of course, is to cry poor and ask for things, especially since someone of Dean Zhao's rank has the authority to know about the existence of the special forces team.
At the same time, he was also very clear that medical supplies were now much more abundant than before, and it was all thanks to the special forces who found ways to get them back.
However, these are far from enough. Seeing many wounded patients eventually die from the operating table due to lack of sufficient medical supplies is the greatest sorrow for all doctors.
"Xiao Kong, to be honest with you, although our headquarters hospital is known as the largest comprehensive hospital of the Eighth Route Army, we only have this much."
"We are currently short of everything, including anesthetics, surgical instruments, and emergency medicines. Even the most basic bandages are reused many times. We also know that this will not help the wounds heal well and will easily cause infection, but there is no other way. This is the reality."
"We didn't even have enough alcohol to clean the wounds of the wounded. We could only use strong liquor or salt water instead. Seeing the wounded suffer like this, we doctors felt extremely tortured every day."
Minister Zhang interrupted at this time and said, "Old Zhao, the difficulties are temporary. Our logistics department has now increased the purchase of various medical supplies. I believe that it won't be long before all the problems you mentioned can be alleviated."
Seeing that both leaders said this, Kong Hao quickly expressed his opinion:
"The Arsenal will soon launch a set of the most advanced special textile production lines from abroad. In addition to producing conventional fabrics, it can also produce medical bandages, which will be much better."
"By the way, the alcohol workshop has actually been set up, and we will provide alcohol to the troops in large quantities, so that everyone can use it freely."
"We are also researching syringes and needles for injections. Samples will be available soon. The hospital will try them out and we will have specialized technicians to follow up and improve them."
"As for the anesthetic, it's more troublesome, but it can be synthesized in the laboratory in a short period of time, and the quantity will not be too large, only three to five thousand doses a month."
After hearing this, President Zhao and Minister Zhang's expressions suddenly became colorful, with bursts of ecstasy in their eyes.
If we can produce bandages, alcohol, anesthetics, and various injection tools at home, everyone will accept it even if the quality is a little poor.
After all, if you buy from outside, not only is the price expensive, but the quantity is also very unstable, and the latter is a big problem.
Now we can produce it ourselves, which is great. It also means that our hospital can continuously obtain various medical supplies, which has a profound impact on the medical treatment of the troops and the base.
Dean Zhao said excitedly: "Xiao Kong, thank you for your support to our hospital. With these, we will be able to better treat more wounded people. This is also a great deed."
"President Zhao, our arsenal's R&D capabilities are actually pretty good. We can completely carry out small-scale custom production for professional items like medical devices."
"For example, scalpels, hemostats, clamps, trays, etc., the headquarters hospital can put forward their own needs, and we can carry out small-scale production according to the production process."
The reason why Kong Hao dared to say this was because the two sets of industrial mother machines and precision testing laboratories he brought back were already in place, and they could produce some precision tools for practice.
Complex equipment like production lines certainly cannot be produced in a short period of time, and industrial mother machines cannot be left there unused, as that would be a waste. It would be better to produce some handy tools to hone the operators' relevant skills.
