Physician of the Song Dynasty: Zhang Kai and Li Qingzhao have a private life-long contract

"Strange disease!"

Fan Zheng was suddenly startled and immediately asked nervously: "Didn't the doctors send elite doctors to go to sea this time? How could we still contract the disease?"

There are many people going to sea this time, so it is inevitable that some people will get sick. The Imperial Medical Office has also sent doctors on board to follow the ship to solve the problem of people getting sick at sea.

In addition, doctors' theories on the causes of various diseases have now matured. As long as you pay attention to prevention, most diseases can be eliminated. How can you still contract strange diseases?

The little eunuch who sent the message frowned and said, "We have strictly followed the doctor's instructions and proactively kept clean and hygienic, but we didn't expect that a strange disease would still occur?"

Nowadays, doctors are at the height of their power, and their credibility is extremely high. In addition, they are alone overseas and lack medical treatment and medicine. It is best not to get sick. Naturally, they take the doctors' warnings to prevent diseases to heart. Unexpectedly, problems still arise.

When Tong Guan saw a strange disease appearing at sea, he immediately sent someone to inform Fan Zheng. If the cause of the strange disease could not be solved, he would inevitably suffer from this disease when he went to sea in the future. His plan to go to sea countries would be ruined. Greatly frustrated.

"Has this disease ever been contagious?" Fan Zheng asked.

The little eunuch who sent the message shook his head and said: "For the information, Fan Taicheng, this disease is not contagious, but it has been reported in all ships, causing a lot of panic among the ships."

A group of maritime merchants went to sea to make money. Now they have finally escaped natural disasters. Under the protection of the Song Navy, they have escaped man-made disasters, but they did not expect that they have not escaped from the epidemic. If they have life to make money but not life to spend, then naturally no one will want to Another adventure at sea.

"It's okay if you're not infected?" Fan Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as there is no infection, it means that it is only an individual illness. Even if the ship lands, it will not cause large-scale infection among the people of the Song Dynasty. In this way, the tragedy of Ma Yuan bringing back the smallpox virus from the Western Regions can be avoided.

"Where is the patient now?" Fan Zheng asked.

As long as it is not an epidemic, it can be treated with confidence.

The little eunuch who sent the message reported: "The slave set off first, and then Eunuch Tong escorted the patient to Kaifeng day and night. It will take at most two days to arrive.

If the cause of the strange disease is not understood, the entire overseas mission will be panicked. The newly emerging great navigation industry will receive a blow. You must know that opening up the Maritime Silk Road will be Tong Guan's greatest achievement, and Tong Guan will naturally not tolerate it. .

After the accompanying doctor confirmed that he was not contagious, Tong Guan immediately rushed to Kaifeng City with the patient. Famous doctors gathered here. It was the place where the medical skills of the Song Dynasty were the highest and the place most likely to cure strange diseases.

Two days later, outside the east gate of Kaifeng City!

A crowd of doctors gathered!

Imperial doctor Ling Qian Yi, evil doctor Fan Zheng, genius doctor Yang Jie, forensic doctor Su Dun, female doctor Zhang Youniang, and even veterinarian Pang Jizu were all waiting there, all coming for the strange disease at sea.

"coming!"

Suddenly, a weak horse neighed, and the keen Pang Jizu suddenly raised his head and said.

Everyone looked around and saw a motorcade speeding along the official road towards the east gate of Kaifeng. The leader was the dusty Tong Guan.

"Qian Taiyi's order, Fan Taicheng!"

When Tong Guan saw Qian Yi and Fan Zheng both there, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly got off his horse.

"No need to be polite, where is the patient?" Qian Yi asked impatiently.

"It's in the carriage behind!" Tong Guan pointed to the carriage driveway behind.

Qian Yi waved his hand, and a group of doctors stepped forward to take over the patient.

"Eunuch Tong has worked hard all the way. Now that the patient has been handed over to the doctors, they will definitely find out the cause of the disease." Fan Zhengdao.

"Thank you, Prime Minister Fan!"

Tong Guan Gongshou said, his body relaxed and he almost fell down. Fortunately, he was supported by the little eunuch on the side. In order to find out the strange disease as soon as possible, he worked day and night. Even though he was tall and strong, after running around for a long time, his body I can't stand it either.

..............................

"What kind of disease is this!"

In the carriage, when a group of heavily armed doctors saw the patient, everyone exclaimed.

When Fan Zheng heard this, he immediately stepped forward to check on the patient's condition. He couldn't help being shocked when he saw that the patient's body was covered in ulcers and his condition was very critical.

"Take it back to the Imperial Medical Office and do a blood test immediately!" Fan Zheng said with solemn eyes.

With the advent of glass, microscopes have made significant progress, and many difficult and complicated diseases have begun to use blood tests to check their condition.

Of course, blood testing, which was extremely common in later generations, is now the most advanced method of medical treatment.

The doctors frowned and immediately pulled the patient into the Imperial Medical Office.

Inside the Imperial Medical Office.

A group of doctors gathered together and looked at the patient's blood condition under the microscope with serious expressions. Yang Jie frowned and said, "The patient's blood has become necrotic."

"Blood necrosis!"

Qian Yi exclaimed.

This kind of situation is not unknown in the Song Dynasty, but it occurs in patients who are extremely weak and may be in critical condition. However, it will never appear in a strong, healthy sailor.

"This is impossible?" Other doctors also frowned. According to common sense, scurvy usually occurs with other serious illnesses, and it cannot appear for no reason, including healthy crew members.

"Necrosis of blood? Could it be sepsis?" Fan Zheng's eyes narrowed and he suddenly thought of a disease that would kill countless sailors in later generations.

"septicemia?"

All the doctors were suddenly shocked and turned their attention to Fan Zheng.

Fan Zheng covered up: "About this disease, Fan once heard that on the ships of the previous dynasty, many sailors would suffer from this disease after wandering at sea for a long time, and this disease appeared on overseas mission ships. I thought this disease The cause of the disease is on the ship."

"Could it be caused by seasickness?" Su Dun guessed.

The sea is very rough, and even sailors who often experience rough seas will inevitably get seasick. Long-term seasickness may lead to physical weakness.

Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "No, if you have just boarded the ship, some people may get seasick. However, after two months of sailing, everyone has adapted to seasickness. Even those who are seriously unwell will follow the ship back to Korea. Crews heading to Fuso should not have these issues."

All the doctors frowned. With this, the speculation about seasickness was ruled out.

Fan Zheng reminded: "In addition to trauma, sepsis is an internal infection. The disease enters through the mouth. If we can find the difference between sailors and crews at sea and on land, we may be able to find the cause of the strange disease."

"What's the difference between sea and land?" All the doctors nodded. After careful comparison of life at sea and on the road, they finally pinned the culprit on vegetables.

"Is the lack of green vegetables the cause of the disease?" Su Dun asked with a look of disbelief.

"Why not? In the past, the people in the world lacked meat, and then most of them suffered from night blindness. But now, although the sea is deserted, a large amount of water has been stored in advance, and the water is boiled for drinking. There is no problem. There are many fish in the sea. There is no shortage of meat, and a lot of food has been prepared in advance. The most lacking thing is probably vegetables." Fan Zheng said solemnly.

Yang Jie nodded and said: "It's okay if you don't eat vegetables for a day. If you don't eat vegetables for a long time, your body may not be able to handle it. Although this method is just a guess, you can still give it a try."
