Chapter 161 The person who saves the most lives in the world

Wang Mengde was leaning over the desk, holding a pen in his hand, carefully writing and drawing on the paper.

Based on his experience in his previous life, he not only wrote a lot of theoretical knowledge on first aid, but also drew many sketches based on his understanding of the human body when he learned massage and acupuncture.

I waited until lunchtime when I was about to get off work and only wrote about one-tenth of the content.

He raised his head, shook his neck left and right, then capped the pen and carefully put the draft paper into the drawer of the desk.

I stood up and walked a few steps in the office to stretch my body.

I thought to myself that what I was doing now was very meaningful.

Acute respiratory foreign body obstruction is not uncommon in daily life.

Not only children, but also adults, especially the elderly, are very likely to get food stuck in the throat.

Since the airway is blocked, the patient cannot breathe normally, so he may die accidentally due to lack of oxygen.

At this time, the first aid method of using the residual gas in the lungs to form an airflow to eject foreign objects plays a key role.

Usually, this first aid method requires hugging the patient's abdomen most of the time, so this first aid method is also figuratively called "the hug of life."

Of course, sometimes, it is also necessary to use tapping the back or other self-help methods according to the actual situation.

According to incomplete statistics, every year, there are approximately several thousand children in China who die from accidental suffocation caused by swallowing foreign objects or having their trachea blocked by foreign objects.

Generally speaking, the first three minutes after being blocked by foreign objects are the golden time for rescue or self-rescue.

If timely and effective rescue can be carried out at the first opportunity, unfortunate situations can basically be avoided.

Not only in China, but once these first aid methods are spread abroad, they will definitely save thousands of people every year.

After a few decades, the cumulative number of people rescued is estimated to be greater than the total population of many countries in the world.

In addition, there are other medical achievements he has made over time.

Perhaps, people will give him a title in the future - "the person who saves the most lives in the world."

After lunch, I rested for a while.

When he got to work in the afternoon, before he could start writing again, President Lu sent someone to call him over.

When he arrived at the dean's office, Dean Lu, Mr. Pu, and several other vice deans were all sitting there, looking at him with smiles.

"Comrade Wang Mengde, Mr. Pu said that you have a new idea and are ready to update the Barefoot Doctors' Manual?"

"Dean, I do have this idea."

Wang Mengde recounted the situation he encountered in the courtyard in detail: "If I didn't have experience in first aid, this child would probably have had an accident.

But once everyone understands the common sense of first aid, her family can help her even if I'm not there.

At the same time, in addition to the first aid method for foreign body blockage, I am also preparing to compile other simple daily first aid methods. "

It took him about twenty minutes to briefly explain some of the first aid knowledge he had prepared in advance.

Since he had prepared a script in mind beforehand, he spoke without any pause.

Dean Lu and several vice-deans listened with expressions of appreciation on their faces.

After he finished speaking, Dean Lu spoke first: "Comrade Wang Mengde, your idea is very good and necessary. We often see such cases in our hospital every year.

Because the best time for rescue had passed, many people were already dead by the time they arrived at the hospital. We doctors could do nothing but feel sorry for them. "

As he spoke, he began to feel emotional.

He had been practicing medicine for half his life and had seen many tragedies like this.

Naturally, one can also understand the significance of what Wang Mengde is preparing to do.

"Well, you go back and do some preparations in advance. Next Monday, the hospital will hold a regular leadership meeting. I will mention this matter at the meeting and report it to my superiors.

I personally think that the probability of this matter being approved by our superiors is very high, so we can make preparations first.

Once the superiors agree, the institute will immediately dispatch the comrades who previously compiled the "Barefoot Doctors' Manual" to fully support you."

"Yes, Dean."

Wang Mengde agreed, and he also knew that some necessary procedures needed to be followed.

At this time, another vice president, Yi, took over the conversation and said, "President Lu, I think that Comrade Wang Mengde's idea, in addition to updating the Barefoot Doctor Manual, is also very helpful for the textbooks we are compiling.

I suggest that, after approval by higher-level leaders, the newly added chapter on first aid should also be added to the textbook.”

The Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine is not only responsible for conducting research on traditional Chinese medicine, but is also responsible for compiling traditional Chinese medicine textbooks for use by medical students across the country.

Vice President Yi is in charge of this matter.

After listening to Wang Mengde's introduction just now, he keenly realized that first aid knowledge also needed to be included in the textbooks.

So I followed the topic and made some suggestions.

"Well, Vice President Yi's suggestion is very good. I think we can add some first aid knowledge to the textbooks so that students can master it in advance.

Vice President Yi, you can bring it up at the meeting next Monday, and we can discuss it together then."

Dean Lu nodded and agreed.

After discussing for a while, several other vice presidents left as they had other things to do.

When Wang Mengde was about to leave, Dean Lu stopped him and started chatting:
"Hehe, Comrade Wang Mengde, how is your family? Is your child okay?"

"Thank you for your concern, Dean. Everything is fine at home and the baby is also doing well. It has been almost two months. Now he eats and sleeps every day, and gets up to eat when he has had enough sleep."

When talking about his daughter, Wang Mengde couldn't help but smile.

As Yaya grows up day by day, there seems to be some new changes every day, and he can also find some traces of growth.

"Well, as long as everything is fine, that's fine. As the backbone of the institute, you must tell me in time if there is any situation at home. The institute will never let you let your work be affected by troubles in life.

By the way, your baby has just been born, is his nutrition adequate? Do you want me to apply for some milk powder for you every month?"

Dean Lu said with concern.

Now Wang Mengde is one of his generals.

I am afraid that the research will be affected by other reasons.

This is not worth the gain.

In the past few years, his research results have earned him praise every time he attends a meeting with his superiors.

This made him want to go to meetings every day.

"Director, our family is not lacking in nutrition for now. Starting this year, the country has a policy that all newborn babies will be given milk certificates. They will get two bottles a day, and each bottle is half a pound. They can't finish all of them."

Wang Mengde said with a smile.

The milk certificate was implemented in 59.

It is mainly supplied to newborn babies in Beijing and is supplied until they are one year old.

After the baby is one year old, he or she is fed one bottle of milk a day, mixed with some "milk substitute powder" and baby sugar coupons, one of which is given every month.

With the milk powder ticket and baby sugar ticket, you can go to the designated store and buy one kilogram of milk powder (mainly made of soybean powder, rice powder and a small amount of milk powder mixed together) and two taels of brown sugar (produced in Cuba).

Only the capital city of Beijing has this privilege. Other cities rarely issue milk certificates and baby sugar coupons.

Dean Lu nodded, then changed the subject: "By the way, the 'Quick-Acting Heart-Saving Pills' you developed two months ago have received very good clinical feedback so far.

Not only does it have fewer side effects, but its onset of effect is no worse than that of nitroglycerin tablets. Moreover, it combines treatment, prevention, and first aid into one.

It can be taken for a long time without drug resistance. Now, many patients will get better quickly after taking it as soon as they feel sick. It is also convenient to carry and store.

This is really a good medicine that is essential for heart patients. After a while, if there are no problems, the country will prepare to produce and sell it in large quantities."

Since the development of the quick-acting heart-saving pills, President Lu has been following the clinical situation.

The feedback he received made him very happy.

This medicine is really good news for heart patients.

It has all the advantages that nitroglycerin tablets have, and also has advantages that nitroglycerin tablets do not have.

If the clinical time had not been so short, he would have strongly recommended to the country to start large-scale production as soon as possible.

In this way, a large number of patients will not suffer accidents due to acute heart disease problems.

Wang Mengde was not surprised to see his excitement.

In the past, this medicine saved countless heart patients.

Most heart patients carry it with them and at home, so it can be said to be a must-have medicine in the household.

"Dean, if the clinical trial of the 'Quick-Acting Heart-Saving Pill' is completed and there are no problems, does the country have plans to sell it overseas?"

Wang Mengde asked curiously.

“Haha, I actually know this.

A few days ago, when I went to a meeting, my superior asked for my advice.

I didn't say much else, I just told you that you can refer to the sales of 'Gout Ling' abroad.

Do you know that since "Gout Ling" became popular abroad, it has not only promoted the reputation of traditional Chinese medicine, but also created a lot of foreign exchange for the country.

With this precedent, the leaders will definitely attach great importance to this matter and are willing to try to sell the "Quick-acting Heart-saving Pills" abroad to earn foreign exchange."

Dean Lu explained.

At the same time, he couldn't help but praise Wang Mengde again.

At first, he looked down on the prescription of "Gout Spirit" which only treated the symptoms but not the root cause.

But no one would have expected that the medicine made from this humble prescription would be snapped up by patients abroad.

Every patient stockpiled a lot of the medicine at home, causing it to be out of stock on the market.

This inadvertently triggers the hunger marketing routine, making people rush to buy even more frantically.

According to feedback from personnel from relevant units, some people actually queued up overnight just to buy it early.

This reaction of foreign patients shocked people in China.

If the relevant units had not had several different feedback channels but the same results, no one would have believed it.

After hearing President Lu say that the country attaches great importance to it, Wang Mengde felt relieved.

Although the prescription for the 'Quick-Acting Heart-Saving Pill' he took out was slightly different from the one he had used in his previous life and the one he had proven, based on his experience, it was definitely fine.

It is estimated that by next year at the latest, the country will complete clinical trials and officially start large-scale production.

It didn't end until President Lu had to go to a meeting.

Before leaving, Wang Mengde saw the cigarettes on the desk and asked shamelessly, "Dean, do you have any more of these cigarettes?"

"What? You've also learned to smoke. This is not a good habit. If you're just starting to learn, I suggest you quit while the addiction isn't too severe."

Dean Lu looked at him with amusement and then tried to persuade him.

"Hey, it's not me, it's my grandpa and my dad. They smoke. Dean, can you give me some? I'll take it back to honor them."

"If it was someone else, I would only give him one pack at most, but since you asked, I still have three and a half packs here, I'll give them all to you."

As Dean Lu spoke, he took out three complete cartons of Panda cigarettes from the drawer, and a few loose packs, which he also put in a bag for him.

"Thank you, Dean."

Wang Mengde took it without hesitation.

Anyway, with Dean Lu's rank and connections, he must have Panda cigarettes every month.

After coming out of President Lu’s office, Wang Mengde returned to his own office and continued to write first aid measures for foreign body blockage.

He plans to complete the work in about two weeks.

The main reason is that he has other things to do, plus he has to sit for consultations a few days a week.

Otherwise, three or four days would be enough.

Return home from get off work.

When Wang Hao saw the Panda brand cigarettes he brought back, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Of the few that Wang Mengde had brought back before, he only got a small portion. Most of them were collected by Ran Xiaomei and given away one after another.

After several months of consumption, his share had long been used up.

"Meng De, give me a pack."

He stretched out his hand impatiently and said.

"You should smoke less, and don't give it to others casually just to show off."

Ran Xiaomei was a little unhappy. She reached out to take the bag from Wang Mengde, took out three packs of cigarettes, then turned around and walked towards the ear room.

Only a few packets were left for Wang Hao.

"Haha, these are enough for me to smoke for two months."

Wang Hao didn't care. He put several packs of cigarettes together, then opened one, took out a cigarette, and put it to his nose to smell it happily.

Now, his granddaughter and several other children are here, so he dare not smoke at home.

When Ran Xiaomei returned to the living room of the wing room, she ignored Wang Hao who was intoxicated and said to Wang Mengde: "Mengde, the day after tomorrow is Sunday.

If you have nothing to do, go back to Tiangezhuang and visit your grandpa and grandma. It's a good opportunity for you to take a pack of these cigarettes with you as well."

She didn't mention taking any food back because Wang Mengde had already gone back some time ago.

It has not been long since the summer harvest, and there is currently no food left in the canteen of Tiangezhuang Brigade.

"Okay, I'll go there the day after tomorrow morning."

Wang Mengde agreed.

Only he knew that it would not be long before there would be a food shortage in the countryside again.
