I weave my destiny in parallel time and space
Chapter 187 Nightingale
"We have already arrived in the south." Xia Ya said, "We are starting to control the plague there."
"How to manage it?" Alicia asked, "You don't seem to have taught him medical skills."
Xia Ya smiled, "Remember the tortured girl we saw in Steam City?"
Alicia recalled for a moment, "It seems to be called Marthalie?"
"Her name is Florence Nightingale now." Xia said. "She is a young girl in her twenties, an upper class member of the imperial capital. Her current prestige among the Britannian soldiers may be Bigger than Isabel.”
Alicia looked at him in surprise, "What did she do?"
"She initially wanted to go to the front line, but due to her father's opposition, she had to stay in the imperial capital. With her father's funding, she established a nursing home and began to realize her ambition.
She took many measures that were beyond this era, such as paying strict attention to the hygienic environment, strictly disinfecting all utensils, and disposing of medical waste in a timely manner.
Use a patient call bell and set up a winch in the kitchen to deliver meals to patients.
She emphasized that “anyone, regardless of religion, wealth or poverty, can be admitted as long as they are sick.
And at the same time, she taught those women the nursing knowledge she had summarized.
At first, people were skeptical about it, but after many people came out of the nursing home safe and sound, people gradually began to believe in Nightingale's ability and obeyed her.
But later, she led a team of nurses to the Eastern Front battlefield.
Due to the lack of understanding of medical care and nursing in this era, the probability of those soldiers coming out of the field hospital alive is about the same as tossing a coin.
But with her arrival, all this changed.
She revolutionized the hellish battlefield medical system.
Carry out clean hygiene and correct care methods, and do not hesitate to use your personal property to purchase supplies.
In just four months, the mortality rate from nearly 40% was reduced to 5%.
Every night, she patrolled with a lantern in hand, and the sick and wounded said they seemed to see angels.
Newspapers in the imperial capital praised her as an angel on the battlefield.
It is very exciting for a female hero to appear in this era when women are oppressed. She has been praised and admired by many people.
She became a close friend of Arthur, who also supported her health care reform.
A month ago, the southern plague appeared in the slums of the imperial capital.
Regardless of personal safety, Nightingale volunteered to participate in emergency rescue work. She was busy taking care of dying patients in the hospital, and many people died in her arms.
Eventually the spread of the plague was curbed.
And this time, she also followed Arthur's army to the south where the plague and war were the most serious..."
"If she can really end this plague, then she will be a national hero for the entire country." Alicia said.
Xia Ya smiled and shook his head, "Do you still remember what she said when you first met her?"
Alicia nodded.
"What words impressed you most?"
Alicia recalled it and murmured softly.
"I am a doctor. My teachings only teach me to save people, but they never teach me to kill people."
"In her heart, she has much firmer faith and perseverance than ordinary people." Xia Ya said with deep eyes, "Even if she is misunderstood, even if she is tortured. Even if she is on the verge of death, this perseverance has never left her. My heart dissipates."
"She never cared about whether she could be a hero, and she didn't think she was an angel. She just wanted to save people."
Alicia fell silent, and after a moment, she said, "This is the real hero."
"Although many people think this kind of selfless self-dedication is stupid, they cannot deny that civilization is ultimately driven by these people." Xia Ya whispered softly.
"Can she cure the plague?" Alicia asked.
Chara smiled.
"In this world, it's not just medical skills that can deal with plague...
And order. "
Xia Ya pondered for a moment and began to talk about their methods.
"As soon as Nightingale arrived in the south, she presided over the implementation of strict spatial isolation.
The city and its suburbs were closed, leaving the city was strictly prohibited, violators would be put to death, and all roaming animals were hunted and killed.
The city is divided into districts, with each district headed by a district mayor.
Each street was under the responsibility of a chief, who closely monitored the affairs of the street. If he left the street, he would be executed.
On a specified day, everyone must stay at home, and anyone who violates this rule will be put to death. "
He looked at Alicia, "Do you think the punishment has been passed?"
"I still understand the harsh punishments used in troubled times," Alicia said.
"Actually, it's more of a deterrent." Xia Ya said.
“The mayor himself locked the doors from door to door from the outside.
He took the keys and gave them to the district governor; he kept them until the quarantine period was over.
Food rations are prepared for each family. But there are also small wooden passages leading to each house along the street.
This way everyone could receive their allotment of bread and wine without coming into contact with the dispensers and other residents.
Meat, fish and herbs would be delivered to homes on pulleys and baskets. If people must leave their homes, take turns and avoid encounters.
Only the district chief, district chief and guards can walk around the streets.
Supervision goes on non-stop. Guards were placed at all entrances and exits, at the town hall and in each district to ensure the obedience of the people and the absolute authority of the governor, "and to guard against all disorder, theft and extortion".
An observation post was set up at each city gate and several sentries at each street intersection.
Every day, the district chief inspects the area he is responsible for to see whether the district chief has fulfilled his duties and whether the residents have any dissatisfaction. They should "monitor their (residents') movements".
Every day, the mayor also goes deep into the streets he is responsible for, stopping in front of each house and asking all residents to show their faces at the windows.
He calls everyone by name and learns about each person's situation - "residents will be forced to tell the truth under the threat of death."
If someone does not show up at the window, the chief should ask the reason: "In this way, he will easily find out whether a dead person or a sick person is hidden."
Everyone locked in such a cage, everyone at their respective windows, must answer roll calls and show up when questioned.
This surveillance is based on a continuous registration system: the district chief reports to the district chief, who reports to the mayor.
From the moment the doors were "locked," the role of each city resident was determined one by one.
Everyone's name, age, and gender are registered.
One register is given to the district chief, one to the town hall, and the other to the district chief for daily roll call.
Everything that could be learned during the inspections—deaths, illnesses, complaints, anomalies—was recorded and forwarded to the district mayor and municipal governor.
The municipal governor has complete control over medical treatment.
They appoint a doctor to be in charge. No doctor may treat a patient, no pharmacist may dispense medicine for a patient, and no priest may visit a patient without a note from that doctor.
This is to "prevent anyone from hiding infectious patients or dealing with such patients behind the municipal governor's back."
Condition records should be compiled on an ongoing basis. Everyone's illness and death pass through the authorities and the records and decisions they make.
After five or six days of isolation, each house was cleaned and disinfected one by one.
Residents of each house were asked to leave, and after four hours, residents were allowed to return home.
At the same time, the entire southern army must also strictly abide by health regulations, do not drink raw water, all water sources must be boiled, and all corpses on the battlefield must be recovered and burned.
At the same time, a large infectious disease isolation hospital was established, and all sick patients were transferred to the hospital in a non-contact manner, and all patients were collected. "
Although Alicia does not understand medicine, she understands certain principles of virus transmission.
She can realize the power of this set of rules.
This closed and divided space is monitored everywhere.
In this space, everyone is embedded in a fixed position, every tiny activity is monitored, and every situation is recorded.
Power operates uniformly according to a continuous hierarchy, in which everyone is constantly sought, examined, classified, classified as living, sick, or dead, and dealt with accordingly.
"If this harsh system is really implemented, the plague will have no room to survive." Alicia whispered in a low voice, "In this case, the trouble in the south should be solved soon."
"That's the theory." Xia Ya said.
His eyes flashed.
"If only the plague was the only trouble."
