Chapter 122 Concept Conflict
Recently, something strange happened in the mansion city. Many people walked around the streets with baskets all day long, specifically asking who had broken fruits and vegetables. Once they heard that someone had them, they ran to ask them to sell them to him in great excitement.
Ordinary people only have some apples and pears in their homes, and they are all fruits that are not very good in variety. They eat sour and astringent, but for them, such fruits are better than none, so they will not break the fruits. They don’t buy much in the city.
If you can't buy it in the city, this group of people will strolling out of the city to buy it. Once you hear that someone's farm has planted fruit trees, you can't wait to buy it. You will also pick the broken ones to buy it, pulling it into the city like a treasure.
I have never heard of this. For a moment, the entire Luoxiang Mansion was about fruits and vegetables. When people met and greeted each other, they turned into "Hey, are your fruits broken?"
In this atmosphere, in a greenhouse in the Wei family's house, a group of people were chattering around the rotten melons and fruits they bought.
"What's the point? Master is really sure that medicine can be prepared in such a thing?"
"My master always warns us that we must not eat moldy and spoiled foods, but now we say that this mold can cure diseases. Isn't this a contradiction?" Someone asked in confusion.
"Junior Brother Chen, that's not what he said. Some medicines, taking one of them alone is poison, but they become good medicines in combination with other medicines. It depends on how to use it. By the same token, the mold on the fruits and foods will kill people by eating them like this, but the master made it into medicine, which is a magical medicine!" Fang Tan said.
Li Tao also said: "This is the reason. Didn't the master say that when he treated Zhou Jian, he used penicillin. Although it was a medicine made by overseas experts, if others could make it, we would definitely make it. As long as we can make it, this poison will naturally be a good medicine!"
The junior brother named Chen is the youngest, but he also understands this truth, so he regrets it when he asks. Now, after listening to the words of the two senior brothers, he hurriedly bows to them and says, "Thank you, two senior brothers, for solving the doubts!"
Fang Tan and Li Tao naturally knew that he just didn't react for a while, so he waved his hand to signal him.
After seeing the fruits and fruits, a group of apprentices went to Wei Zhao again and told him that the mold had already existed, but Wei Zhao was not in a hurry and continued to let someone burn the fire in the greenhouse to keep the room moist and warm, causing mold to grow.
These days, he is busy doing a big thing!
These days he returned to Fucheng and found something that fewer people went to the clinic due to wound infection in Fucheng.
Wei Zhao heard from Chen Yaozhou that in the past, at least one patient with purulent wounds came to the door for medical treatment at this time of year, but this year there were basically new injuries, and no patient with purulent wounds could be seen in ten days.
Wei Zhao asked his apprentices to go out for investigation and found out that this was because of the brochures that Chen Yaozhou had sold before.
When he competed with several doctors, he treated the beggar who had purified his wounds. Later, Chen Yaozhou sorted out the knowledge he mentioned about wound care into a booklet and sold it.
After many doctors verified the things in this book, they found that treating the wound according to the methods in the book can effectively prevent the wound from becoming suppurated. So it spreads through one thing. The booklet has basically become something that every family in the city has. Once someone in the family is injured, even if it is a small wound, they will immediately stop the bleeding according to the prescription, and then go to a nearby clinic to bandage it, without smearing wood ash, spider webs and other things to stop the bleeding.
After learning this, Wei Zhao suddenly remembered the man Shi Tou, who was scalded in a restaurant last time, and the man who had diarrhea in Anping Village. He wanted to write some common first aid methods into brochures and sell them in major bookstores in the city, so that he could effectively prevent the worsening of some diseases.
After discussing with Dr. Wang, both of them felt that it was very feasible. Wei Zhao is now very famous, and the booklets distributed in his name will be easier to be accepted by the people.
So he now sorts out these things in the room every day. Dr. Wang takes his apprentices to select medicinal materials, and then try to make medicine according to the method given to them by Wei Zhao, and then conduct dialectical evidence to see if the efficacy of the medicine can meet expectations.
Regarding burns, Wei Zhao thinks it is necessary to focus on popular science. Even in modern times, many people treat burns and scalds incorrectly.
Many people's first reaction after burning is to wipe it with something they can touch at their hands. This is a very wrong behavior. Such actions will cause secondary damage to the skin that has become fragile after high temperature contact.
Secondly, smear some things randomly, such as toothpaste. Although they do have a cooling effect, toothpaste is not a medicine. Some toothpastes are acidic, some are alkaline, and some are irritating. Spraying randomly may cause wound erosion and increase damage.
Given that even later generations had incomplete understanding of burns and burns and were not properly handled, he listed this as a key popular science object, and the first booklet was about to focus on burns and burns.
When the apprentices came over, he was sorting out the knowledge about burns and scalds. When they saw them coming in, he handed over the sorted things to Fang Tan and said, "Go and ask your master, which bookstores he sold the trauma treatment booklet last time, and then take the booklet and ask them to print and sell it. The price should not be too low, but it cannot be higher than a storybook."
If you sell too low, the booklet will appear cheap, which makes many people disdain the booklet. If you sell too high, you will lose the original intention of popularizing knowledge. Therefore, Wei Zhao set the price of the booklet at the price of a story book.
Fang Tan took the booklet and found that it was about burns, so he hurriedly looked through it. The other apprentices were surrounded by him and looked together.
Wei Zhao divided the scalds into three types. The first burns and scalds: the injured skin was red, swollen, and felt the pain was burning, but no blisters appeared. The second burns and scalds: local redness, fever, unbearable pain, and obvious blisters. The third burns and scalds: the skin was dark, but the pain was not obvious. Then he wrote the corresponding treatment method.
His booklet is completely written in vernacular and there is no difficult professional vocabulary. Anyone who reads and reads can understand it. Fang Tan and his men looked at each other, and they didn't understand why Wei Zhao did this?
They are doctors, and only patients can have their own use. If everyone in the future will judge the condition and treat the wounds by themselves because of Wei Zhao's booklets, then what else can their doctor make? What value does it have? What will other doctors think?
Fang Tan was a straightforward person. He thought so in his heart and asked this. Wei Zhao was stunned by his question, and then frowned.
He took it for granted. He thought that such a booklet could relieve the patient's pain and reduce the burden on doctors. It was easier to deal with a fresh wound than to treat an inflamed and suppurative wound. It was easier to sell burn and scald ointment than to deal with broken and infected injuries, but he forgot that this is not modern!
The doctors here are still in an era where there are good prescriptions that have to be hidden secretly. The patients in this era have weak medical awareness. As long as they can withstand some minor injuries and diseases, they will not spend money to see a doctor. His publicity on how to deal with wounds and how to help patients reduce the pain to the lowest level without spending money. This is cutting off the way for many doctors to live!
Another point is that the status of doctors in this era is too low. It is common for any family with some money to beat and scold doctors or smash people in the clinic. Once his actions attract the attention of the major forces behind certain clinics, he will not only fail to do good things, but will also be repaired.
He wanted to accumulate reputation among the people through these things, but he could not oppose other doctors of this era. Not every doctor could understand the purpose of his doing so.
Once his booklet is released, the patient will encounter severe scalds or other trauma in the future. The first choice is him, the person who has released the booklet. At that time, if other clinics are dissatisfied, the "friendship" he has established with these doctors will fall apart!
