Chapter 138 Antibiotic Deficiency

As the weather gets warmer and people reduce their clothes, viruses and bacteria become active.

Lu Jin was called up from the bed before dawn. He hurriedly put on his clothes, woke up Sun Bai who was sleeping in Lingxuan, and rushed to the People's Hospital.

He Lan waited anxiously at the entrance of the hospital, and when he saw him, he quickly said, "Master, the patient five years ago had festered wounds and has seriously deteriorated."

Five days ago, a farmer accidentally tripped over a stone while plowing the land. When he fell down, he hit an upturned hoe. The upper part of the hoe was made of iron and was sharpened. Into the People's Hospital.

Lu Jin was the chief surgeon, Sun Bai was the first assistant, and He Lan was the second assistant to complete the operation.

The person survived temporarily and was sent to the intensive care unit for supervision. Lu Yao and Ye Meixiang were in charge of changing the dressing and nursing, while He Lan and Sun Bai were on duty.

After the operation, they strictly followed Lu Jin's requirements, disinfected and changed clothes and utensils, but in the end the patient's wound was still inflamed and infected.

When Lu Jin walked into the intensive care unit, Ye Meixiang was holding medicine and gauze to change the patient, but she was at a loss when she saw the festering wound.

Ye Meixiang looked anxious, "Doctor Lu, Sister Lu Yao and I try to clean up the wound every time we change, but it's still getting worse, especially since he has a fever all over his body, and now he is unconscious."

He was accompanied by his wife. When she saw Lu Jin, it was as if she saw a life-saving straw. She pleaded repeatedly, "Doctor Lu, you need to save him. There are still three children at home. If he is gone, let our mother How do you live?"

She seemed to be kneeling down, but Ye Meixiang stepped forward and pulled her up, persuading her, "Eldest sister, let Doctor Lu take a look first, don't worry, it's useless if you kneel down."

Lu Jin lifted the gauze and looked, his expression became serious immediately. This is the most common staphylococcal infection, the infected area is large, the wound has festered, and the healing is not ideal.

"Master, what should we do?" Sun Bai and He Lan looked at Lu Jin and asked.

What to do? If you have antibiotics on hand, you can just use them, but the terrible thing is that there are none here.

As the weather turns hotter, the bacteria will become more active, and it is no longer possible to isolate them simply by disinfection.

It was only a year before Lu Jin's operation, and this winter was the time when a large number of patients were treated. At that time, the weather was cold and the activity of the virus was low. With a little care, the deadly infection could be eliminated, but now spring is coming to an end, and summer will soon be here.

In this way, there will be more and more infections, and the immunity of the people undergoing surgery will be low, and the bacterial invasion will be difficult to cure.

Surgery is easy, but postoperative recovery is difficult. He glanced at the farmer's wife, and his eyes were fixed on him, full of hope and pleading, which made Lu Jin's heart sink little by little.

His thoughts returned, and finally he said to Ye Meixiang, "use distilled water and mix salt in proportion, try to clean the wound, if it can be eliminated, then there is still hope, otherwise"

He looked at the farmer's wife and said in a deep voice, "You also have to be prepared in your heart."

The woman's eyes widened in an instant, tears overflowed, and she began to howl.

Except for the unconscious farmer, everyone in the room had red eyes. Even Lu Jin said so, and there was nothing they could do.

Ye Meixiang took a deep breath, nodded and went out to get distilled water and salt.

Distilled water is still the device designed by Lu Jin at the beginning, because there is no way to make glassware now, so Song Huai can only take the design drawing and find a porcelain maker to burn similar utensils. It is relatively simple, but the water output is also small, and the hospital I save it for the time being.

However, the design concept, Lu Jin, has been handed over to craftsman Master Lu, and asked him to find a way to make a large-scale equipment.

When going out, Sun Bai and He Lan followed Lu Jin, watching him hesitate to speak.

Lu Jin glanced at them, "Speak up if you have something to say, don't hesitate."

He Lan was young and had a bit of a temper, so he immediately asked, "Master, do you really have no other way? If so, wouldn't it be worse in summer? Even if those injured by sharp objects can get off the operating table, I'm afraid It is also difficult to survive the infection of germs, and it is still dead.”

They have been saved, but they can only watch these hopeful people close their eyes again. The two young people who have undergone many surgeries recently feel very heavy.

"People say you are a genius doctor, you have to think of a way."

"There is a way." Lu Jin affirmed, "I still remember when I told you about bacteria and viruses, I mentioned that some fungi can cause diseases and produce some other substances at the same time, these substances can resist bacteria and even kill."

The two teenagers thought about it and nodded uncertainly.

Bacteria and viruses are microorganisms, invisible to the naked eye, and Lu Jin does not have a microscope, so he can only describe them out of thin air when explaining.

Surgery itself was developed based on scientific research, which involved too much scientific common sense. Sun Bai and He Lan did not have this basic concept. Even if they believed in Lu Jin, they could not react to these invisible bacteria and viruses. enough awareness.

So that chapter was difficult for Lu Jin to explain, and they also had difficulty listening to it, and their memory was very vague.

But now that Lu Jin said this, he was a little impressed, but he still didn't understand, so he greeted her with a full face.

"Master, how do you get those substances out?"

This is a good question, Lu Jin sighed quietly, "I want to know too."

It was this kind of antibiotic that he had mentioned to Song Heng before, and the first to be discovered was penicillin, also known as penicillin.

Penicillin comes from Penicillium moss, which grows moss on the moldy fruit bread that we usually eat. The green fungus is Penicillium. The raw material is easy to find and can be found everywhere, but it is not easy to extract the real thing.

In fact, Lu Jin generally knew how to extract it, but now the tools are limited, and if he wants to extract penicillin and get a suitable antibacterial concentration, he still needs to think about how to do it.

Thinking about it this way is really a huge project, not as simple as developing an asthma medicine. After all, there is no one else to give him a reference.

In the end, the farmer still couldn't make it through, and his wife called the villagers to carry him out.

Her three children leaned against the door and stared blankly at their father, who was covered in a white cloth, neither crying nor fussing, looking extremely sad.

Although Lu Jin had seen too much life and death, he still felt uncomfortable. He asked his two apprentices to stay, and he went back to the mansion first to figure out how to develop penicillin.

However, as soon as he reached the gate of the courtyard, he saw the old housekeeper poking his head inside. He walked over wonderingly. The guard at the door immediately reminded him when he saw him. The old housekeeper turned around and coughed lightly, pretending to be calm and said, " Mr. Lu is back."

"Forbe, what are you looking at?" The door is open, and the people inside can be seen, "There are guests"

Faber replied vaguely.

Song Heng's guests were either dignitaries or nobles, or those in the military camp. As long as Song Heng didn't introduce them, Lu Jin would not bother them, so he nodded and asked Ling Xuan.

Faber breathed a sigh of relief.

But just as Lu Jin took two steps, the people inside came out.

"A Jin." Song Heng called out to make Lu Jin turn around.

Then Lu Jin saw the person behind Song Heng, and his eyes narrowed for a moment, feeling very familiar, and then he remembered, it turned out to be the young man surnamed Shen.

why is he here

Lu Jin turned his gaze to Uncle Fu instantly, and the latter's face was wrinkled, as if he didn't want to answer.

Song Heng then turned to Mr. Shen and said, "You go back first, if there is any news, I will order someone to inform you."

Song Heng seemed to have agreed to Mr. Shen's one thing, but seeing the latter's expression was not very satisfied, but he still smiled slightly, and thanked him openly, "Thank you Brother Heng."

After he finished speaking, he lifted his foot and left, passing by Lu Jin, with a smile on his lips and his eyes fixed on him.

Lu Jin frowned slightly, looked at Song Heng, and asked bluntly, "Who is this?"

Song Heng's mother, Madam Qiao, was the eldest daughter of the Qiao family in Zhangzhou, while Shen Zhiyuan's mother was the concubine daughter of the third family. It's quite, so the relationship is very good.

Afterwards, Mrs. Qiao married the Englishman and went far away to the capital, while the concubine sister stayed there, so there was less contact.

The Song family was not prosperous, and at first they had a lot of contact with the Qiao family. Later, when the sage ascended the throne, the eldest daughter of the Song family became a queen, but lost her first child. Not even a month later, the Qiao family wanted to take this opportunity to send the girl to Entering the palace, at that time the two delicate and charming girls were sent to the Duke's mansion, and Empress Song's condition got worse. Foreigners cut off ties.

However, what the Qiao family did had nothing to do with the married aunt, so when Shen Zhiyuan traveled thousands of miles to Beijing for the exam, Song Heng took him in.

"The Shen family is in decline, and it's not easy for him to come to participate in Chunwei. Since he found the door, it's just a matter of effort for me, so let him live in the mansion temporarily."

Song Heng said lightly, he raised his hand to gently smooth Lu Jin's still frowning brows, and couldn't help but ask with concern, "A Jin, what are you thinking?"

It was difficult for Lu Jin to say it, he was wondering if Mr. Shen was interested in Song Heng, or if Song Heng had been interested in him.

However, this was something he couldn't say no matter what, so he said, "Why have you never heard of it?"

Song Heng looked over suspiciously, "An insignificant person, why mention him?"

Lu Jin let out a muffled laugh, and said, "I'm still at the door today, can I ask you for help?"

The evaluation of the Ministry of Officials has already begun. It is very important for these officials to go where they want to go. Where there are vacancies in positions of real power, where the jurisdiction is more affluent, or directly stay in Beijing, this requires a strong network of relationships, sometimes with money Can not find the way.

Song Heng is in the limelight now, with a cousin like this, who wouldn't want to make an effort

However, Song Heng twitched the corners of his mouth, "I don't need to worry about this, he is a man"

Lu Jin looked at him, but Song Heng changed the subject, "He's staying at the inn now, and asked me to find him a suitable house to rent, and I agreed."

And this is just to order the people below to do it, there is no need for him to come forward.

Hearing this, Lu Jin roughly understood Song Heng's attitude. He didn't like this Mr. Shen.

Thinking of what Mr. Qiao said at General Xiao Pei's wedding banquet, saying goodbye without saying goodbye and apologizing, and the attitude of other generals, he intuited what happened, but Song Heng didn't mention it, so he didn't ask.

"I also think that you are a lonely family. Finally a relative came over. How should I treat him? After all, it seems that he will be stationed in the capital."

Lu Jin's little Jiujiu Song Heng didn't know anything, but he really had nothing to say, so he said, "Whatever you treat, just stay away from him."

The author has something to say, the girls guessed it right, penicillin.
