Chapter 239: Big Red Envelope and the Thief Saint's Departure
The patient's condition has improved significantly!

Wang Mengde was cheered up after hearing this. As Li Xiang had taught him medical skills for more than four years, he was very familiar with him and naturally believed in his judgment.

This is really timely relief!

A few days ago, Dai Botao came to see him and said that Liang Mancang was reclaiming wasteland in the Northeast. Apart from the harsh climate, the biggest enemy there was various diseases.

Among them, dysentery is one of the most deadly diseases and the one they fear the most.

If this disease is not treated in time, it will cause the death of the patient, and there is a high possibility of large-scale infection.

Summer and autumn every year.

These are the peak seasons for diseases such as dysentery.

It is mainly caused by catching cold, overwork, eating raw or cold food, and mental stress.

The current Western medical treatment method is to take an antibiotic called chloramphenicol.

This kind of medicine not only has serious side effects and causes complications, but the most important thing is that it is expensive.

Due to technical and equipment reasons, China is still unable to produce in large quantities and has to rely entirely on imports.

Foreign countries will naturally not miss the opportunity to strangle the market in this situation. In addition to raising prices, they also artificially control quantities.

This has led to the fact that traditional Chinese medicine is still the main treatment for this disease in China.

Traditional Chinese medicine's Shaoyao Decoction and Baitouweng Decoction are also very effective, but the disadvantage is that once a disease like dysentery causes a large-scale infection and an outbreak occurs, more experienced doctors will be needed.

A few years ago, an outbreak occurred in a certain area of ​​Shandong Province.

Due to the rapid spread of the disease, a large number of patients were soon infected. Even though the country controlled the spread of the epidemic in a timely manner and mobilized many experienced doctors from the surrounding areas to provide support.

However, because they need to be diagnosed and prescribed one by one, many patients miss the best time for treatment and suffer from adverse sequelae.

The Northeast region, where new land is being reclaimed, happens to lack experienced doctors.

Once an epidemic breaks out, there will be no time to dispatch medicines and doctors.

Therefore, Liang Mancang was very worried about this, but unfortunately, he was powerless and had to stock up some Chinese herbal medicines and chloramphenicol in advance.

After taking the patient's pulse himself, Wang Mengde had an idea.

The patient's condition was not serious at first, but because he did not take it seriously when it occurred, he stayed at home for two days.

Only after the condition became serious did I remember to go to the hospital for treatment.

It just so happened that Wang Mengde had just finalized the new prescription, so he became the first person to "test the medicine."

About an hour after taking the medicine, just as Wang Mengde had expected, the patient's symptoms were alleviated a lot.

"Junior Sister Zhang, you will be the main person responsible for this patient. You must personally watch over him and make him drink the Chinese medicine twice a day. If there is any problem, please tell me immediately."

Coming out of the ward, Wang Mengde walked in front and gave instructions in a low voice.

"Yes, Senior Brother, I'm not going anywhere today. I'll just stay here and keep an eye on this patient."

Zhang Qiaoyu agreed crisply.

She knew that her senior brother attached great importance to the treatment of this patient, so she did not dare to slack off at all.

After hearing her answer, Wang Mengde nodded with satisfaction.

Several of my junior brothers and sisters are reliable people. After several years of training, they have grown up.

In another year or two, I would be able to suggest to my teacher that he let these fellow students go out and train individually for a period of time.

I believe that in the near future, they will all be my right-hand men.

I went to another ward and visited the second patient. His condition was similar to that of the first patient. After taking the medicine for more than an hour, his symptoms had improved significantly.

After leaving the ward, he went straight to his office at Guang'anmen Hospital.

"Junior Brother Sun, we can accept a few more patients with severe dysentery later. After they are admitted to the hospital, give them the new Shaoyao Decoction and continue to observe them."

Wang Mengde sat on a chair and said to one of his fellow apprentices.

"Understood, Brother, I'll arrange it right away.

Recently it is the season when dysentery is prevalent. Generally, patients with mild symptoms are prescribed some medicine and asked to take it at home.

If there are more critically ill patients, I will arrange for them to be hospitalized and stay with the previous two patients."

Junior Brother Sun quickly agreed.

Now his senior brother is in charge of the Department of Internal Medicine. He can get any kind of patient he wants with just a word.

"Yes, by the way, we must pay attention to protection, especially the management of water, feces, and diet to prevent others from being infected."

Seeing that he was about to go out, Wang Mengde reminded him again.

With so many patients gathered together, it is very easy for the virus to spread.

Especially water sources and feces, which are sources of infection.

"Brother, I remember it."

Junior Brother Sun said with a serious face.

After saying this, he hurried out to make arrangements.

About ten minutes later, Junior Brother Sun walked in with a smile on his face.

"Brother, I have already told everyone in the department. They will keep an eye out for any severe dysentery patients and transfer them here immediately."

"Okay, then you will work with Junior Sister Zhang and assist her in handling the medical records and observation of these patients."

Wang Mengde thought about it and felt that if Zhang Qiaoyu was responsible for it alone, she might be too busy, so he said to Junior Brother Sun:
"By the way, when you two get married later, I will give you a big red envelope."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Qiaoyu blushed with shame, but Junior Brother Sun looked very proud.

The two of them fell in love with each other at the beginning of this year, and they smoothly developed from a relationship of senior and junior brothers and sisters to a couple.

The other few people winked at the two of them, looking teasing.

"Brother, what big red envelope are you going to give us?"

Junior Brother Sun asked in front of everyone with a smile.

"Ah, why are you asking this in front of everyone?"

Zhang Qiaoyu said somewhat embarrassedly.

"What's the matter? We are not outsiders."

"Yes, they are not outsiders." Wang Mengde agreed:
"Well, when you get married, I will give you six industrial coupons, one pound of meat coupons, five pounds of flour coupons, and ten pounds of grain coupons."

He is bleeding heavily.

Nowadays, when relatives or friends get married, people usually give some daily necessities as gifts.

For example, washbasins, towels, kettles, and even spittoons.

These things are much better than money.

Due to the shortage of materials, when most young people got married, their homes were lacking various daily necessities, even if they were not completely penniless.

There are many things that cannot be bought even if you have money. Would it be possible to have so many tickets and industrial vouchers?

Everyone gave the couple a daily necessity, which also meant helping them to build up their household assets.

Of course, in addition to these, some people with closer relationships would give some food coupons and industrial coupons as wedding gifts.

This gift is a level higher than daily necessities.

"Brother, you are willing to give so much. This is a big deal."

Before Zhang Qiaoyu and Junior Brother Sun could speak, Li Xiang said with a look of surprise.

Everything Wang Mengde gave is scarce today. Not to mention other things, just those six industrial vouchers can solve many problems of the family.

What's more, there were also one kilogram of meat coupons and five kilograms of flour coupons.

These are good things that money can't buy.

To be honest, at this moment, they were all a little jealous. "Brother, this is too much. We can't take it."

Junior Brother Sun and Zhang Qiaoyu said in unison.

To be honest, Wang Mengde wanted to give them so many good things, it would be a lie to say that he didn't want to give them anything.

But just because there are so many good things, they don't plan to take them.

Their senior brother had already helped them enough, and they would feel guilty if they asked for more now.

“Haha, I’m giving it to you, so just keep it.

Besides, this little bit of stuff is totally insignificant to me. As everyone knows, I am now enjoying special supplies from the country.

There are six industrial coupons every month, which are too many to use up. If you save them, they will easily expire. It just so happens that you need them for your marriage."

Wang Mengde explained with a smile.

It is only for these people in front of him that he is willing to give.

As for other outsiders, at most they would just give gifts in return and would not give so much.

Seeing that the two of them still wanted to argue, Wang Mengde said:
"Okay, both of you stop refusing, it's settled.

By the way, the gifts I just mentioned are for everyone, so you two should get double."

Then he turned to look at the other junior brothers and sisters and said, "You too, when we get married, I will also pack so many gifts.

So, in order to make me bleed, you have to hurry up and solve your personal problems.”

Among these junior brothers and sisters, the oldest is already 25 or 26 years old, and the youngest is 22 years old.

I have already reached the age to get married, but it was delayed because I had to study with Wang Mengde in the past few years.

Now, they have basically learned everything, and the next step is to consider finding a partner.

Mr. Pu also mentioned this matter to him twice some time ago.

"Oh, Brother, we have it too."

Sun Xiaoru said excitedly.

She also recently met a boy from the Chinese Medical Research Institute. They both have a crush on each other. If nothing unexpected happens, it won't be long before she starts dating.

I feel so happy when I think that I will receive so many gifts when I get married in the future.

"Of course, every one of you has one, and I mean what I say."

Wang Mengde said happily.

After saying this, he took a special look at Li Xiang and Huang Sizhong.

These two junior fellow students were so focused on study and work that they were not interested in their personal affairs at all, which gave him a headache.

It seems that it is difficult for them to solve their personal problems on their own.

He was thinking about it in his mind, and planned to ask someone to help introduce the girl to his two fellow apprentices when he got the chance.

"Great! Long live Senior Brother!"

Following Sun Xiaoru's cheers, several other junior fellow students also looked happy.

More than ten days in a row.

More than a dozen dysentery patients have been admitted to Guang'anmen Hospital.

In fact, more than twenty patients have already recovered and been discharged from the hospital, otherwise, the ward would be completely full.

After testing on these patients, the new Peony Decoction developed by Wang Mengde was found to be very effective for diseases such as dysentery.

A few days ago, they also gave drugs to patients with mild symptoms, and within three days, these patients were completely cured.

Severely ill patients will need to take medicine for about five to seven days before their condition gradually improves.

During this process, no patients were found to experience discomfort or lack of obvious effects.

Even President Lu and several vice presidents got the news and came over to take a look.

"Comrade Wang Mengde, you have treated more than 40 patients. From what you have said, the results should be very good, and much faster than those of Shaoyao Decoction and Baitouweng Decoction.

I think we can give New Peony Decoction to more patients. Many people have contracted dysentery recently.

Director Lu, I suggest that we immediately promote its use throughout the hospital. This will not only reduce the pain of patients, but also provide more samples.”

Vice President Zhang suggested.

“I agree.

We have to race against time because we don’t know when a wave of diarrheal epidemics may break out in a certain area.”

Vice President Zhu also nodded.

When a dysentery epidemic broke out in Shandong Province two years ago, the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine sent her to lead a group of people to provide support.

Therefore, she deeply understood how important it would be for the country if there was a specific medicine to treat dysentery.

"Well, this matter is indeed urgent."

Dean Lu thought for a moment and then agreed:

"Comrade Wang Mengde, what is your opinion?"

"President, I think what Vice President Zhang and Vice President Zhu said is very correct. Through the test of more than 40 patients, the efficacy of the new Shaoyao Decoction has been verified.

After treating more patients, if there are no problems, we can try to produce a small batch of Chinese patent medicine, either in the form of powder, pills, or granules.

After these medicines are produced, they can be used as backup in remote areas. For example, in the northeast, the construction group responsible for land reclamation is short of doctors and medicines. "

Wang Mengde also expressed his thoughts.

"Well, Comrade Wang Mengde, I will report your idea to my superiors, and will also discuss it at the weekly meeting of the institute."

Dean Lu thought for a moment and then said.

He actually agreed more with what Wang Mengde said, but the necessary procedures still had to be followed.

evening.

Just returned to the yard.

In the front yard, Wang Mengde heard Yu Li's voice from afar.

"Silly Zhu, come and have a look, our peanuts have been stolen.

There's a thief in our yard, go get the uncle and the others to come over."

"What? There's a thief in our yard?"

In the middle courtyard, next to the sink, many aunts and ladies were washing vegetables or cleaning pots and dishes.

When I heard Yu Li say this, I was immediately shocked.

"That's impossible. Our hospital has been an advanced hospital in recent years. We have never heard of anyone missing anything."

While washing vegetables, Mrs. Wang spoke to Aunt Xue beside her.

"His second sister-in-law, it's hard to say. Since something is missing from Sha Zhu's house, it must have been stolen. Maybe it was someone from our courtyard who did it."

Aunt Xue secretly glanced in the direction of the old Jia family, and then said meaningfully.

"Yu Li, it's just a shortage of peanuts. It's okay. Just let it be."

Sha Zhu said nonchalantly.

He guessed that Banggeng was greedy and sneaked into their house and took the peanuts.

This kind of thing happened frequently before he got married.

"No, this matter must be investigated thoroughly."
