Chapter 464 Conquer
Chapter 464 Conquer
According to historical records, the incubation period of sanguinis is about ten days. Once an illness breaks out, symptoms appear as flu within a few days, but change in nature within five to seven days. Various organs quickly fail, and the condition deteriorates rapidly and is incurable.
Each time the flood started at the beginning of winter, it would gradually break out and disappear little by little by the end of winter. This lasted for five consecutive years. By the time the country of origin, which is our northern neighbor, now the Kaqiye region, had seen an almost extinct population, the flood had inexplicably disappeared.
Because technology was not well developed at that time and no specific medicine had been developed, there were no records of prescriptions.
Wu Song called his two junior fellow apprentices and all his disciples to study the virus. However, the situation at Taihe Hospital was extremely tense and they had to disinfect and sterilize several times a day. The doctors were also extremely nervous, which gradually caused panic among the people and rumors spread.
Taihe Hospital's actions were severely criticized by higher authorities, which ordered it to resume normal medical services and eliminate social panic. In order to maintain social order, Taihe Hospital was closed for rectification.
But Wu Yanyu and Master Wu, along with all their disciples, began to stay in the laboratory day and night. They found that this virus was very tenacious. When you defeated it, it would mutate quickly and come back with a fatal blow.
However, they also discovered a pattern: if you are not infected with the virus, you can prevent it and nip the virus in the bud before it takes off.
Therefore, Wu Yanyu and Wu Song led several fellow apprentices including Juzi to work on a prescription for conquering the virus, while Elder Wu led his other disciples to research a prescription for prevention.
The prescription came out soon, but Wu Song and Juzi had some disagreements on the use of the medicine. Wu Song suggested a gentler approach because many patients had underlying diseases. Although the efficacy of this prescription was not that strong, the effect would be the same if it was used for a few more days. It could also prevent the patient from dying due to the drug being too strong and the patient's body functioning too poorly.
But Orange insisted that it would be better to change to the medicine with better efficacy, because it could quickly eliminate the virus. Although the patient's body functions would also be severely damaged, as long as the patient's physical fitness was not too bad, there would be no danger to life and it would just recover slowly. It could also stimulate antibodies in the body to prevent the virus from entering the body once and for all.
Half of the people agree and half disagree, because each has its pros and cons. Patients with mild symptoms are not easy to recover and there is a possibility of relapse. Once the disease relapses, the mortality rate will be very high, but it will not cause the underlying disease.
Although the severe type recovers quickly and does not relapse, some people cannot withstand it. It is very likely that the flu will be cured but the underlying disease will die.
After discussion, three sets of prescriptions were formed: mild, comprehensive, and intense. Each set of prescriptions is based on the patient's actual condition, and the intense type requires the patient's signature.
There were many preventive prescriptions. After carefully studying several of them, Orange came up with his own prescription, which was opposed by everyone except Wu Yanyu.
Elder Wu asked his senior brother Wu Yanyu to make the decision.
Juzi looked at Wu Yanyu and said, "Grandpa Mo, I have done many experiments. This recipe seems intense, but it will only affect the human body for a few days, that is, a little loss of appetite and mental fatigue. After three days, it will be fully recovered, but the antibodies will become stronger and stronger."
Elder Wu said: "But these few days may trigger other underlying diseases, causing the condition to worsen or even become dangerous. That would not be saving lives but killing people."
