The Young Master of the Coal Miner

"Huliela, also known as tiger plague. Commonly known as cholera."

When the onlookers heard that it was cholera, they immediately backed away several steps in fear, and quickly moved away from the few people in the center.

"Cholera cannot be transmitted through the air, but it can be transmitted through contaminated water and food." Dr. He Xiao saw that the patients around him were extremely nervous, so he explained.

"However," He Wenyan turned his head to look at the thin man in front of him, with a bit of pity in his tone. "However, this infectious disease may spread through close contact."

Doctor He Xiao's voice is not loud, but it can be heard clearly by this thin man, as if struck by lightning.

He stared blankly at He Wenyan, swayed from side to side, and finally couldn't support himself and sat down on the ground.

After a while the man came back to his senses, crawled towards He Wenyan, and begged, "Doctor, please save me. I don't want to die from this disease!"

The man climbed up to He Wenyan, kowtowed several times, and slapped himself fiercely: "It's all my fault that I cheated my heart, took money from the Qi Family Medical Center, and picked up sick homeless people on the side of the road. Hanlai Western Medicine Hospital made trouble."

Now, the unscrupulous money collected can be earned, but it is also spent.

The thin man confessed his crime tearfully, but was spurned by the people around him.

"If it hadn't been exposed by Doctor He, he might really make a fuss and close the He family hospital!" The patient who said this yelled at the man.

Some people also noticed the "Qijia Medical Center" in the man's words.

The Qi Family Medical Center was once an old medical center as famous as the He Family Medical Center in Jinning City.It's a pity that the old man of the Qi family didn't live as long as the old man He, and passed away early, passing his own medical center to his eldest son.

The old man of the Qi family has two sons under his knees.

The grandpa of the Qi family, who was born on the same day, was not good at medicine, so he barely supported his own medical clinic, but the number of patients who came to see the doctor was obviously far less than before.

The second master of the Qi family who was born as a concubine is more proficient in the art of Qi and Huang.Seeing that his father was eccentric and passed on his ancestral property to his elder brother, who was not as skilled as him, he was extremely resentful, and even bribed the medicine boys in his own medical center to subsume all the medicinal materials in the Qi family's medical center into inferior herbal medicines.

The patients don't care how the elder and second masters of the Qi family fight each other, they only know that taking the traditional Chinese medicine prescribed by the Qi family medical center cannot cure their illness.As a result, fewer and fewer patients came to Qi's family for medical treatment.

The grand master of the Qi family can't compete with the He family clinic externally, and he can't compete with his brothers internally.

In addition, He Wenyan opened a Western medicine hospital in Jinning City, and continued to treat the poor for free. The trend of Western medicine suddenly became popular, and the Qi family's medical center became even more crowded.

It is said that colleagues are enemies.Seeing that his medical clinic was out of business, Mr. Qi made a fool of himself and invited a gangster to go to the western medicine hospital to make trouble.

"If you go to He's house and make trouble, it's better to make it bigger and kill some people! I want everyone in Jinning City to dare not go to the western medicine hospital for medical treatment!"

The elder of the Qi family threw the 15 taels of silver in his hand to Zhang San, who had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks in front of him, and said with a gloomy face: "I will give you 15 taels as a deposit first, and I will give you 15 taels after the matter is completed."

Zhang San took the silver from Mr. Qi, put it in his mouth without being too dirty, and took a bite. Seeing the clear teeth marks on the silver dollar, he immediately apologized with a smile on his face: "Don't worry, I will definitely do this well." Beautiful! Let the entire Jinning City know that the He family hospital carelessly ignores human life, so that the He family will have no shame in opening any clinics and hospitals!"

Zhang San's words made the elder of the Qi family smile with satisfaction, and he waved his hand to signal the gangster to leave.

Don't look at Zhang San's words so perfectly in front of Grand Master Qi, he himself doesn't know how to make things worse when he walks out of Qi's mansion.

If he wanted to kill someone, he couldn't really kill someone, could he?

But finding someone to pretend to be a patient is easy to be spotted by the doctor.

Zhang San was thinking about countermeasures while walking, and when he walked to a smelly ditch, he happened to see a half-dead old man lying beside him.

He rolled his eyes and immediately thought of a countermeasure.So, he helped the bad old man who was picked up by the roadside and had only one breath left to go to the western medicine hospital to make trouble.

But everything counted, Zhang San didn't expect that this half-dead old man actually got cholera.And he himself may have been infected by this person!

Zhang San took out the 15 taels of deposit given by Mr. Qi from his pocket, handed it to He Wenyan, kowtowed his head several times in a row, with snot and tears streaming down his face.

"Doctor He, please show kindness and save my dog's life!"

Now, he didn't dare to think about the remaining 15 taels of silver. He just wanted to use the money to exchange for his life.

He Wenyan frowned, and stared at the man in front of him with a heavy expression, without saying a word for a long time.

Just when Ming Lan thought he would refuse to save this man, Doctor He Xiao said: "Then you should stay here for a few days, if you are already infected, it will flare up in a few days."

Zhang San hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Doctor He."

He Wenyan turned his head away from looking at him, but Ming Lan frowned and asked in surprise, "Little Doctor He, why did you save such a villain?"

He didn't mean to reciprocate with kindness, it was just to avoid bigger troubles.

Doctor He glanced at Zhang San who just got up from the ground, and explained: "If this person really has cholera, staying outside will only spread more germs."

It would be better to leave the person in a Western medicine hospital first.

Ming Lan immediately understood He Wenyan's intentions. Doctor He was afraid of the spread of cholera.

The first case of cholera appeared in Jinning City. The Hejia Hospital of Western Medicine posted a notice at the entrance of the hospital early: Anyone who has vomiting or diarrhea at home should be sent to the Western Medicine Hospital for treatment immediately.The hospital does not charge any fees.

Within a few days, several families in Jinning had symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea, and they were sent to Western medicine hospitals overnight.

He Wenyan was afraid of lack of manpower, so he sent people to transfer a dozen nurses from the mine hospital, and invited old Mrs. He and Dr. Zheng to help, and even Shen Wenbin, who was busy researching medicine, was arrested by him.

Several Chinese medicine practitioners and Western medicine practitioners gathered together to exchange information about patients' conditions and propose treatment methods.

"In one day, the patients all had diarrhea many times, and the excrement was like clear water. After repeating this many times, the whole person would collapse and fail." Mrs. He sighed, recalling the illnesses he had seen in the past few days.

Dr. Zheng suggested: "Some patients with mild symptoms can stimulate Siguan acupoints with gold needles to dissipate evil qi, and take Huoxiangzhengqi powder together to reconcile the middle qi."

Hearing this, Mrs. He lowered his head and thought about whether Mr. Zheng's prescription was feasible.

On the other end, two young Western doctors also talked about their own treatment methods.

"Cholera is caused by Vibrio cholerae infection. This bacterium is very sensitive to temperature, humidity, acid-base, and light. Patients with cholera will suffer from frequent vomiting and diarrhea, and finally die of dehydration." He Wen said Recall the medical knowledge you have learned, and find the cause of the disease first.

"Vibrio cholerae is also transmitted through the vomit and excrement of patients."

Shen Wenbin changed his usual inconspicuous expression, and his expression was serious: "I do recall that in 1832, a doctor Alba cured cholera by injecting saline intravenously."

Brother Shen's words opened He Wenyan's mind, since the patient will die of dehydration, he should add a lot of water to the patient.

Therefore, doctors of Chinese medicine and doctors of Western medicine cooperate with each other.Traditional Chinese medicine stops vomiting and diarrhea of ​​patients by prescribing prescriptions and giving needles, while western medicine supplements water and salt for patients through oral administration and intravenous injection.

However, the patients isolated in the hospital have not yet been discharged, but the number of patients outside the hospital has continued to increase.

Fortunately, the western medicine hospital built by Mr. He is large enough to accommodate new patients.

However, looking at the hospital corridor filled with sickbeds, Doctor He's heart also sounded an alarm.

Simply treating sick patients in the hospital will not solve the root cause of cholera.

Only by making the common people in Jinning City aware of how to prevent the spread of Vibrio cholerae can the chances of common people being infected with cholera be greatly reduced.

Master He listened to his eldest son's suggestion and immediately discussed with everyone in the Jinning Chamber of Commerce.

The next day, the Jinning Chamber of Commerce sent a team composed of shop assistants and began to parade on the street.

The guys beat the big bronze gong in their hands, chanted doggerel, walked the streets and alleys, and informed all the people in Jinning City.

"There is cholera in Jinning City, everyone should be more careful,

Pay more attention to hygiene on weekdays,

Do not discharge sewage indiscriminately,

The drinking water should be filtered and boiled hot, and the food must be fully cooked to prevent the spread of germs. If there is a sick person in the family, they should be sent to a large hospital as soon as possible. "

Such a parade was a little strange, and the Jinning people who loved to watch the excitement couldn't help but come forward to watch.

As a result, a series of limericks were recited repeatedly, not to mention adults, even three-year-old children on the street could recite a few sentences.

The common people cherished their lives very much. After realizing the risk of cholera, they didn't need to be urged by others, so they honestly followed the doggerel to prevent it.

The number of new patients suffering from cholera in Jinning City dropped sharply, and the treatment pressure of the He Family Western Medicine Hospital was also greatly reduced.

In less than a month, the patients who had contracted the epidemic in the hospital were all cured and discharged one after another. Only a few old people and children with poor physical fitness still need to stay in the hospital for recuperation.

Young Master He's Western Medicine Hospital opened for nearly a month, but he didn't make much money, but Master He and Boss Xue paid a lot of medical money.

Master He and Xue Lin didn't care about this little money. In the eyes of these two rich men, it was the most cost-effective thing to be able to buy He Wenyan a good reputation with money.

The cholera epidemic in Jinning City had just subsided, and bad news came from Suzhou.

Mrs. He held the letter sent by her brother in her hand, and said with tears in her eyes: "Cholera also broke out in Suzhou. At first, the people thought it was because they ate river fresh shrimps and crabs, and they didn't care. As a result, more and more people fell ill. many."

"The authorities did nothing. They just asked all the teahouses in the city and the Laohuzao, which supplies residents with boiled water, to hire water boats to fetch clean water from the river outside the city."

"As a result, these ordinary people still fetch water from the stinky river in the city for the sake of cheapness."

"Your uncle said in the letter that your grandfather is getting old and weak, and also fell ill."

The author says:

Young Master He opened the hospital, not only did he not make any money, but he also asked Master He and Boss Xue to pay for it.

Young Master He: You said it takes a lot of money to raise me (.˙へ˙.)/
