Chapter 580: The condition has stabilized, the book of the originator of tomb robbery

The director of the First Hospital of the Capital was Wu Zhaoxing, who took the prescription written by Li Quan and examined it.

"Tsk, tsk, quite interesting. I have seen many Chinese medicine prescriptions for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, replenishing qi and nourishing blood, warming the meridians and dispelling cold, soothing the liver and regulating qi, but this kind of medicine that can increase a person's basal body temperature, and it is a pure Chinese medicine prescription, is the first time I have seen it."

Dean Wu Zhaoxing couldn't help but marvel at it.

Not to mention him, even other people were extremely curious about this medicine that could raise the patient's basal body temperature.

"There is nothing wrong with the medicinal materials in this prescription. At least it will not cause any uncontrollable risks. However, whether this prescription can raise the patient's body temperature remains to be verified."

Dean Wu Zhaoxing stared at Li Quan.

"Are you sure you only want to raise the basal body temperature by two degrees? The basal body temperatures of the three patients are currently 36.5 degrees, 36.7 degrees, and 36.6 degrees. It's safe to only raise it by two degrees."

Doctors have divided people into three levels based on their body temperature.

A fever between 37.4 and 38.3 degrees is called a low fever, between 38.4 and 39.3 degrees is called a moderate fever, and above 39.4 degrees is called a high fever.

Theoretically, fever is good for the human body, indicating that the body's immune response has been activated and is working overtime to eliminate invading pathogens.

However, a fever above 39.4 degrees also means danger.

When the temperature reaches above 40 degrees, the human body will experience poisoning coma or various symptoms.

If rescue is not timely at this time, death is likely to occur.

"Director Wu, as long as the patient takes the medicine according to the dosage, I can guarantee that the patient's basal body temperature will only rise by about two degrees, and the duration is about 24 hours. If you want to keep it that way, you need to take the medicine again. In addition, this prescription can only be taken for a maximum of three consecutive days in a short period of time. Raising the body temperature by two degrees also means that a lot of extra energy will be consumed in the body."

Li Quan's expression was serious.

This was the first time he prescribed this fever medicine to a patient.

It is a prescription in Hua Tuo's surgical medicine.

It is probably because there were no antibiotics in the past, so wound infections were more likely to occur after surgery, and the patient's body defenses had huge loopholes at this time.

We must find ways to enhance the patient's physical resistance.

By taking medicine, the patient's body energy can be consumed in a short period of time, raising the patient's basal body temperature. In that era when medical technology was backward, this was the most ideal method.

Combined with some external wound medicines and trauma medicines applied on wounds, it can effectively prevent wound infection and suppuration.

It may even damage the patient's internal organs.

From this point, we can also see that the wisdom of the ancients was very high.

Even today, after a relatively major surgery, doctors will give patients a three-day drip. To put it bluntly, they use anti-inflammatory drugs for three days to prevent wound infection.

There is a reason why this fever medicine cannot be used too much.

Because it is equivalent to a strong medicine, it cannot increase the patient's basal body temperature out of thin air, but it does so at the cost of consuming the energy stored in the patient's body.

If you let the patient run a fever every day, the energy in the body will be depleted, causing irreversible overdraft damage to the patient's body.

By then, the patient's body will be exhausted and he will die.

Therefore, Li Quan had said in advance that the patient could only take three doses of fever medicine in a row, one dose per day.

Do not take too much.

"First, prescribe the medicine according to the prescription and give it to the patient! We also need to hurry up and find a way to deal with this unknown fungus. If Dean Li's fever medicine is really effective, maybe we can buy us three precious days."

It was President Wu Zhaoxing who spoke .

As for Director Yang, he just sat there and didn't say anything.

…

Two hours later, the patient with the most serious condition had taken the fever medicine prescribed by Li Quan.

Everyone did not disperse, but continued to study treatment plans in the conference room.

The experimental data from the laboratory are constantly fed back.

Knowledge about this unknown fungus is also increasing.

"Director Yang, Dean Wu, the latest news came from the ward. After the patient took the fever medicine prescribed by Dean Li, his basal body temperature rose by 2.1 degrees within an hour. The patient's temperature is currently 38.8 degrees, and it has been stable for some time. There is also good news. Just now, the patient who took the fever medicine was the one with the most serious condition.

An hour after taking the medicine, he gradually became quiet.

In contrast, the other two patients whose conditions were slightly less severe became more manic and in greater pain.

This shows that the fever medicine prescribed by Director Li Quan is really effective and can stabilize the patient’s condition.”

The attending physician of the ward reported the situation in the ward to the two leaders in the conference room via video call.

"Good, very good! The patient's condition has stabilized, which is very good news. Give the other two patients fever medicine immediately."

Director Yang was originally in a heavy mood.

I was very excited after hearing this good news.

"Dean Li Quan, your fever medicine has been very helpful this time."

His attitude towards Li Quan changed quietly.

It's a rare occasion that he praised Li Quan in public.

"I have only contributed a small part. The leaders, seniors and the medical staff who stayed in the ward are the real heroes. I dare not take credit for it." Li Quan repeatedly declined.

In fact, we are only temporarily stabilizing the patient's condition.

It's like pressing the pause button for the patient.

After three days, if no good solution is found, all these patients will die.

"Haha, I didn't expect that Dean Li Quan is so young and promising, has superb medical skills, and is so humble. It's rare. The unknown fungi we encountered this time are very tricky. You have to help us work together to eliminate these unknown fungi."

Director Yang rarely smiled.

He even took the initiative to invite Li Quan to stay and deal with the crisis together.

"Thank you Director Yang for your appreciation. I will contribute my little bit of strength." Li Quan was very interested in this unknown disease.

Saving lives is a doctor's duty.

Even if Director Yang did not invite him, he would still stay and discuss solutions together.

"Director Yang, you are a medical expert with extensive knowledge. Can you explain to us why a patient's basal temperature can be stabilized by increasing it by 2.1 degrees Celsius?"

There is no shortage of such flatterers anywhere.

The guy who asked the question is simply insulting the IQ and knowledge of all the chief physicians and experts present here.

“Well, I don’t dare to be a medical expert, so let me explain to you the benefits of raising the patient’s basal body temperature, and you will understand the reasons.

There is a certain relationship between a person's basal body temperature and basal metabolic rate. A 1°C increase in body temperature means a 13% increase in the basal metabolic rate.

As the basal metabolic rate increases, the body temperature rises, which in turn may affect the blood flow rate. There are white blood cells with immune functions in the human blood. They follow the blood circulation and flow to various parts of the body. They find suspicious invaders and gather more white blood cells to eliminate them. If the blood flow rate of a person is accelerated, it may affect the efficiency of the immune response, causing the invading bacteria or viruses to be eliminated or suppressed more quickly.

This is why the patient's condition stabilized immediately after his body temperature rose by 2.1 degrees. "

As soon as Director Yang finished speaking, the bootlicker immediately clapped his hands vigorously.

Others in the meeting room could only applaud along.

At this time, everyone was applauding Director Yang. If someone did not applaud, Director Yang would understand that that person was dissatisfied with him.

Even if he didn't make things difficult for that person, the impression he left would definitely not be good.

"Okay, let's stop here for today's consultation. I'm sure everyone is tired, so go home and rest first. The national medical skills competition will continue tomorrow. I hope that all the contestants here can perform well and score a lot of points to bring honor to the medical colleagues in Beijing."

Director Yang had covered his mouth with his hands and yawned several times.

Gathering everyone here for a meeting so late in the evening, it would be strange if we weren't sleepy.

…

After Li Quan returned to his temporary residence, he lay on the bed and began to think about a fundamental solution to the problem.

He doesn't need to care about Western medicine or Western medical treatments.

Because he knows himself well, he cannot compare with those old experts and chief physicians in this respect.

His strengths are his medical skills and techniques in traditional Chinese medicine.

Carefully review all the miraculous medical skills that I have learned.

Li Quan has not found any medical skills that can cure this strange disease.

Since there is no such thing in the medical skills I have learned, I can learn a new skill that is specifically for treating this kind of strange disease.

But there are countless miracle medical skills that he has not learned.

Almost all famous doctors in ancient times were skilled in this field.

Some ancient famous doctors may only have one magical medical skill, while some ancient famous doctors and magical doctors may have as many as a dozen or twenty magical medical skills.

For example, Chen Ziming is a master of mass production of miraculous medical skills.

Li Quan learned more than a dozen miraculous medical skills in the field of obstetrics and gynecology from him.

Although those medical skills are relatively ordinary, they can be upgraded.

At the same time, Li Quan also discovered a phenomenon.

For example, the two great doctors Hua Tuo and Bian Que both had the diagnostic skills of taking the pulse, observing the complexion, and listening to the sound.

Then, as long as Li Quan learns the pulse diagnosis and visual diagnosis techniques of any one of them, he can use these two diagnostic techniques of all the miracle doctors.

In other words, although there seem to be many different miraculous medical skills, in fact many of them are repeated.

"Which miracle doctor has treated this kind of strange disease?" Li Quan knew very little about Chinese medicine.

For a moment, I couldn’t think of any miracle doctor who had such medical skills.

"Hey! By the way, why don't I start with the cause of the illness of those three antique dealers?"

Li Quan was quite impressed by his own brain.

It's quite smart.

The three antique dealers who were first infected with the disease were most likely infected with this unknown fungus while robbing ancient tombs.

So let’s start from this aspect.

Li Quan began to ponder in his mind, are there any people in history who like to rob tombs and have medical skills?

Cao Cao must have robbed quite a few tombs.

It is said that in order to raise military funds, Cao Cao specially formed an army of tomb raiders.

Not for any other purpose but to rob tombs.

There were quite a few large tombs that were robbed by Cao Cao.

However, although Cao Cao was famous for his tomb robbery and everyone knew that he was a tomb robber, he did not know medicine.

If he really understood medicine, he would not have killed Hua Tuo.

So who else is there in history?

Those who have managed to rob tombs many times without dying usually have real skills.

Because there are many evil things in the ancient tomb, including various poisons, mechanisms, viruses, bacteria and so on.

They have robbed tombs many times without getting sick or dying, or being killed by the traps, so they must have some means to resist these things.

Speaking of tomb robbers, modern people may only know that Cao Cao and Sun Dianying dug a lot of ancient tombs. In fact, before them, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was already a person who could be called the ancestor of tomb robbers.

In fact, many tomb robbers regarded him as their ancestor.

So who is this person?

His name was Wu Zixu, a figure from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

He was the first to rob tombs, and he has lived well ever since.

The title of Ancestor is well deserved.

Who is Wu Zixu?

This is a strange man.

His courtesy name was Zixu. He was a native of Chu and a senior official and military strategist of the State of Wu in the late Spring and Autumn Period.

From this point we can see that this person not only has strong military talent, but is also a scholar.

Those who can become doctors are all intellectuals.

Please note that the term "doctor" at that time did not mean "doctor", but a high-ranking official among the civil servants.

Calculating the time, there are still three days left. If I can find a book by Wu Zixu and read it, perhaps I will get some unexpected gains.

After making up his mind, Li Quan decided to take action.

It's late at night, past four in the morning, and I definitely can't run out to buy books.

Those bookstores have closed down long ago.

I can only wait until tomorrow morning to go to the book market or bookstore to look for books about Wu Zixu.

Anyway, Li Quan is just trying his best. Whether it will succeed or not depends on fate. It's good enough that he has tried his best.

…

The next morning, Li Quan got up late.

Because I slept very late last night.

It was already eight o'clock.

He never has the habit of getting up so late.

The service provided by the organizer was quite thoughtful, and someone delivered breakfast to his dormitory.

Hot water, towels, toothbrushes and other toiletries are all prepared.

And the waitress was young.

Li Quan also experienced the treatment that only high-ranking officials in ancient times had.

After a hearty breakfast, he asked the waitress for directions.

"Beauty, can you tell me where is the bookstore nearby?" The competition starts at nine o'clock in the morning, and Li Quan now has thirty-seven minutes left to buy books.

If the bookstore or book market is too far away, you can only wait until the game is over in the afternoon.

"Do you want to buy books? Go out the gate and turn left. Within 200 meters, you will see a huge book market. But most of the books sold there are second-hand books. If you want to buy new books, it's best to take the subway to the Xinhua Book Market, which is ten miles away."

The waiter was quite familiar with the topography of the capital.

She provided Li Quan with accurate information on the book market.

"Okay, thank you." Before Li Quan finished speaking, he had already arrived at the door.

Time is running out and he must hurry.

For some particular people, buying new books is a must.

Li Quan didn't care.

For him, the second-hand book market is even better.

Maybe you can get some unexpected gains and buy a few books by other miracle doctors.

Of course, medical books are the best.

Following the directions given by the waitress, I turned left and walked more than 200 meters , and sure enough, I saw a huge book market.

Used book trading market in the eastern district of Beijing.

This is it.
