Chapter 118 Dean Zhou’s praise and the “bald tree”
Arrived in Northern Guangxi County.
Not far ahead, they saw a large group of people standing by the road waiting for them.
After the motorcycle stopped, a few people got off and a group of people came quickly to them. The leader was Guo, the leader of the schistosomiasis prevention and control leading group in Northern Guangxi County.
Team leader Guo glanced at them, then turned his gaze to Wang Mengde. He said with a smile, "Comrade Wang Mengde, thank you for your hard work."
As she said this she walked forward and held his hand tightly.
When they first came to support in September, Team Leader Guo met with all of them and was very impressed with Wang Mengde at the time. After all, he had such a good image that it was hard not to remember him.
"Team Leader Guo." Wang Mengde also greeted him.
Then, Team Leader Guo shook hands with Qian Dayong and Zhu Tao. After a few pleasantries, he continued:
"It's getting late. Let's go back first. Comrade Wang Mengde, you and I will ride in the same car. On the way, tell me briefly about your treatment in Chitang Village, Wenqiao Township."
After getting in the car, Wang Mengde recounted in detail what had happened.
This also included how the effects of osmanthus and osmanthus branches were discovered, and nothing was concealed.
"So, you prepared this prescription together with a one and a half year old little girl, and you found this little girl next to the small temple."
After listening to Wang Mengde’s introduction, Team Leader Guo said with emotion.
“Yes, this little girl is now adopted by a family in Chitang Village. I usually take her out to play. That day, she happened to be on my back and threw the osmanthus branches into the medicine pot.
Unexpectedly, the patients in the village had very good results after taking the medicine, so I tried it. After nearly a month of testing, I can now confirm that using it as a medicine guide is the key to treatment. "
Wang Mengde said with a smile.
"This is really..."
Team leader Guo almost blurted out that it was God's blessing, but suddenly he remembered that he was a D member and there were other people on the bus, so he quickly changed his words:
"That's great, Comrade Wang Mengde. You and that little girl have made great contributions to the country."
Along the way, the two people asked and answered questions, and soon they arrived at the office of the schistosomiasis prevention and control leading group of Guibei County.
After getting off the car, the group went directly to a conference room. At this time, there were already more than a dozen people sitting in the conference room, most of whom were well-known doctors from the county and those who came for support.
After sitting down, Team Leader Guo didn't waste any time. He briefly introduced Wang Mengde and several others as well as the doctors present, and then asked him to describe the process.
Wang Mengde was not polite and took out his five prescriptions first. Then he took the detailed records of dozens of patients in Chitang Village from Qian Dayong and handed them to the person next to him.
As the report was passed around, he began to quickly recount the process and circumstances of his diagnosis and treatment of dozens of patients.
The doctors who can sit here are all of high level and ability. They can understand most of what Wang Mengde said immediately. Even if they don’t understand some things for the time being, they will understand after communicating with the people around them.
After Wang Mengde finished speaking, they all looked through the prescription and the patient's detailed records.
"As expected, heroes emerge young. These five prescriptions are still good prescriptions even without the osmanthus and osmanthus branches as the lead. They are definitely effective in treating schistosomiasis. I cannot prescribe them."
An old man with gray hair and beard at the front twisted his beard and said admiringly.
Mr. Zhang is the most famous Chinese medicine doctor in the county. Three generations of his ancestors have been famous local doctors, so it can be said that he is a family of Chinese medicine practitioners.
"I've heard of young friend Wang Mengde's name before. It was said that he was the one who found the treatment for the Japanese encephalitis epidemic in Beijing last year." A middle-aged man at the back also said.
"Yes, he is a student of the famous Chinese medicine master Pu Lao. He has inherited Pu Lao's true teachings. He is also a doctor in Guang'anmen Hospital and has been practicing independently."
Another doctor from the capital also echoed.
"From the detailed information of dozens of patients, we can see that the effects of these prescriptions may be beyond our expectations. One thing I don't understand is why adding osmanthus and osmanthus branches as the medicine can have such a good effect."
On the side, other doctors said in confusion.
"Let's not speculate for now. I think we should follow this prescription and try it on a few patients first. In my opinion, these five prescriptions are much better than mine.
As for figuring out the principle of the prescription, we will have plenty of time in the future. Right now the epidemic is raging. Every minute of delay may result in the death of the patient. Saving lives is the most important thing.”
When Mr. Zhang saw that everyone was gradually starting to discuss the principles behind the prescription, he interrupted them.
"Yes, we should save lives first. Do you have any objections to these five prescriptions? If not, we will immediately prescribe the medicine according to these prescriptions and treat some patients."
Team leader Guo also said quickly.
"No objection, this prescription is very good."
"Team Leader Guo, I will personally prepare the medicine for the patients and observe their follow-up conditions."
"Go together, go together."
Without waiting for Team Leader Guo to speak, more than a dozen people stood up one after another and prepared to go out.
Seeing their impatience, Team Leader Guo shook his head and said with a smile, "Don't worry, everyone. I will arrange for someone to copy the prescription right away, one for each person. I also need to copy down a few copies of the notebook."
He is different from these doctors and considers things more comprehensively.
If Wang Mengde's prescription is confirmed to be genuine and effective tomorrow, he will immediately take these prescriptions and patient records to the provincial capital of Guangxi Province and report the matter to his superiors.
After Team Leader Guo had made all the arrangements, everyone hurriedly took a large bag of Chinese medicinal materials that they had prepared in advance and headed to the place where the medicine was to be boiled.
Wang Mengde and the other two were not idle either. They ate their meal in a hurry and then started to get busy together.
It was not until after eleven o'clock in the evening, when there was not much left to do, that the three of them were persuaded to go to the guesthouse to rest.
Unlike Qian Dayong and Zhu Tao who were worried about gains and losses, Wang Mengde slept soundly tonight. He got up at around six in the morning, full of energy.
After a simple wash, he went outside the guesthouse, found a secluded place, and began to practice boxing without fail.
Half an hour later, they returned to the guesthouse feeling comfortable. Qian Dayong and the other man had not gotten up yet.
Wang Mengde ignored them and took his food coupons, money and lunch box, preparing to go to the canteen of the guesthouse to get food. As soon as he walked out of the door, he met Team Leader Guo who looked very excited.
"Comrade Wang Mengde, good news, good news."
Team leader Guo walked up to him quickly and said with a smile, "I followed your prescription last night and the patients took the medicine. This morning, all of them have improved significantly. I have already contacted the city and the province by phone. You and I will take the materials and take the nearest train to Lingui City. Then we will take a plane to the provincial capital to report to the provincial leaders in person."
In fact, there was one thing he didn't say, which was that last night, he sent someone to Chitang Village, Wenqiao Township, and carefully verified the situation with the villagers.
Of course, the feedback we received was exactly the same as what Wang Mengde said.
Among those dozens of patients, those with mild symptoms have basically recovered, and those with severe symptoms have also improved a lot.
Only then did he report the situation to his superiors.
Several leaders from the city and province were overjoyed when they heard the news. They specially arranged a train for him to take the people and information and go to Linggui City by special train immediately. After meeting up with the city leaders, he would take a plane to the provincial capital.
Of course, those prescriptions had already reached the hands of the city and provincial leaders.
On the train, seven or eight people were sitting in an empty carriage. Team leader Guo and several other leaders became more and more satisfied with Wang Mengde. Their only regret was that this young man got married too early.
Otherwise, they would have to find a matchmaker to let this outstanding young man become the son-in-law of Guangxi Province.
But on second thought, if schistosomiasis can be completely eradicated this time, their Guibei County will definitely become famous. Moreover, the little girl named Guaiguai is from their county.
Thinking of this, everyone except Wang Mengde was so happy that they couldn't stop smiling.
At noon, after arriving in Ningnan City, as soon as I got off the plane, I was taken to a large courtyard by several cars that had been waiting in advance.
Here, their work report is actually just a formality, because the prescription has been verified by experts, and some patients were given the medicine when they came.
At the same time, the equipment here is more advanced and can monitor the patient's physical condition at any time.
And the most important point is to find out the principle of the effectiveness of the prescription more quickly.
A few days later, when Wang Mengde walked out of the laboratory and took off his protective suit, he breathed a sigh of relief.
After a period of analysis, they finally found the reason. It turned out that schistosomiasis was attached to the blood vessel walls. Ordinary drugs could only repair the damage to the body but had no effect on schistosomiasis.
Therefore, the treatment has always been symptomatic and not the root cause, and schistosomiasis patients are prone to repeated infection.
However, after Wang Mengde's prescription added osmanthus and its branches as the lead, it could disrupt the metabolism of schistosomes, causing them to lose their adsorption function. Once they lose the ability to adsorb to blood vessel walls, they will be carried to the liver by the bloodstream.
As a result, they are surrounded, destroyed and eliminated by the inflammatory tissue of the liver.
Even taking the medicine for a long time will affect the energy supply of schistosomes, causing them to lose the ability to grow in the body.
Simply put, this prescription is specifically used to control schistosomiasis.
After getting this result, everyone, including many senior officials, was extremely excited.
After thousands of years of suffering from the disease, there is finally a way to control it.
The governor of Guangxi Province held Wang Mengde's hand tightly, his eyes red and swollen, and he said in a loud voice: "Comrade Wang Mengde, thank you for your contribution.
Not only in Guangxi Province, but also in more than a dozen provinces and cities in the south, all the people will always remember your achievements. You have saved countless lives and their families. "
"By the way, I have reported this matter to the hospital. This morning, the hospital issued a notice to all provinces and cities in the south, requiring all places to treat patients according to your prescription.
Hahaha, it can be said that because of you, the osmanthus trees in the southern provinces and cities have been in bad luck. Now every osmanthus tree is well protected and no destruction is allowed.
At the same time, each region has begun to study how to preserve osmanthus and osmanthus branches, as we will need them for a long time in the future."
After he finished speaking, dozens of leaders of all ranks nearby looked at Wang Mengde with smiles on their faces and then applauded.
After the applause died down, the governor of Guangxi Province said, "Comrade Wang Mengde, after President Zhou heard about this, he was very happy and said the word 'good' several times.
When he learned that you were the one who developed the prescription, he said directly, "This kid is really amazing." Dean Zhou, did you know about you before this?"
Without waiting for Wang Mengde to speak, Team Leader Guo, who was fortunate enough to be squeezed next to a group of big shots, quickly replied:
"Leader, Comrade Wang Mengde developed a solution to the Japanese encephalitis epidemic that broke out in Beijing last year, and was praised by 'President Zhou'."
"Oh, so that's how it is. No wonder, it turns out that 'Dean Zhou' has had an impression of you for a long time."
Everyone around looked at Wang Mengde with envy. Not many people could be remembered by "President Zhou" who was so busy with all kinds of affairs.
What's more, there are very few people who can be praised by him.
Two more days passed.
On the way back to Guibei County, Team Leader Guo said to Wang Mengde, "Xiao Wang, the leaders have been trying to keep you working in Ningnan City. Why didn't you agree?"
Yesterday, when Wang Mengde met the governor of Guangxi Province again, he expressed his desire to return to Guibei County.
At that time, several senior leaders from the province and the city tried their best to persuade him to stay in Ningnan City, but he declined.
At this time, it would actually be better for him to work in a provincial capital city, where not only are the medical equipment advanced, but he can also come into contact with many leaders.
But he finally chose to return to Guibei County to work.
This decision surprised everyone, including Team Leader Guo.
"Team Leader Guo, it doesn't matter where I work. Besides, I've been out for so many days, I want to behave myself." Wang Mengde said with a smile.
He looked out of the car window and saw that not far away, a large number of people were digging ditches and earth in an organized manner. This was to eliminate snails.
Another group of people were carrying ladders to collect the osmanthus flowers and branches from the osmanthus trees, leaving only a bare trunk standing there, making it a veritable "bald tree".
Fortunately, it is now the end of October and most of the osmanthus trees in the southern provinces and cities are still in full bloom. Otherwise, if it were a different time, it would be troublesome.
"Haha, thanks to that little girl. When we get back, I'm going to go see her with you."
Team leader Guo laughed.
Wang Mengde and Guaiguai can be said to be the lucky stars of him and Guibei County.
When they arrived at Guibei County, they were blocked outside before entering the city. Not only did the leaders come, but many people also came spontaneously to greet them.
