Chapter 294 Penicillin
Chapter 294 Penicillin
"The art of suturing—can this method be used to treat anyone who has suffered a major external injury?" He looked at the words in the storybook, his hands trembling uncontrollably.
"What is this alcohol? How is the anesthetic made? And what is this penicillin? Such complicated steps involved in a simple surgical procedure! It's truly... truly..."
He was so excited that he didn't know what to say. Lianxin knew her brother was rambling, because she had only just come to her senses and was still very excited herself.
At this moment, his father and another brother, who were not far away, also heard what they were saying and came over to their side to ask what had happened.
Lianxin briefly told them the plot of the story they had watched.
"I never imagined this storybook would describe things in such detail. It's unbelievable. Is anyone really so selfless? Aren't they afraid that others will copy it?"
"Am I the only one marveling at how amazing this Ms. Wuming is? So many doctors can't compare to her; she can even conceive of such a method!"
"This anesthetic is called Mafeisan, but this drug has been extinct. How could anyone make it?"
"I don't know, but we can always give it a try, can't we?"
Not long after the story was published, the Imperial Hospital also received the news.
A royal physician hurriedly carried a storybook and ran into the Imperial Hospital building.
"Lord Lü! Lord Lü!"
The only sound in the quiet Imperial Hospital was the shouts of this imperial physician.
At this moment, apart from routinely treating the empresses and emperor in the palace, the Imperial Medical Academy spends the rest of its time tinkering with so-called penicillin, and some people have not left the Imperial Medical Academy for a long time because of this.
At this moment, the loud and boisterous imperial physician finally entered the room.
Everyone in the room stared at him with deathly eyes. The imperial physician noticed this, unconsciously swallowed, and lowered his voice.
"What's all this commotion about?" Among the group, the Imperial Physician, Lord Lü, stepped forward to ask the young physician.
"Lord Lü! Guess what I've discovered?"
Lord Lü and the imperial physicians all looked puzzled.
"What did you find?" Everyone looked at the young imperial physician with serious expressions, as if to say, "You'd better say something useful, or you're finished."
Under such scrutiny, the young imperial physician couldn't help but swallow nervously.
He boldly took out a book from his pocket, holding it high as if he wanted the entire Imperial Medical Academy to see it.
Just as everyone's patience was about to run out, he finally spoke, "This book was written by Wuming, oh, that is, Lord Ye!"
“I know that. I’ve heard rumors that Lord Ye has published a new novel, but we’ve all been busy studying prescriptions at the Imperial Hospital lately, so we haven’t had time to read it,” a physician suddenly stepped forward and said.
Another imperial physician stepped forward and chimed in, "But what does this storybook have to do with us now? Sixteen, if you're free, hurry up and finish these for us. Can't you see we're swamped?"
As the imperial physician spoke, his tone became increasingly anxious and agitated.
"Please don't rush, everyone. I'm not telling you all this for no reason. There's a reason for everything. This book is not as simple as it seems. Everyone has been researching how to make penicillin recently, and this new storybook mentions penicillin!"
"What? The storybook also mentions penicillin? Why is that? Does Lord Ye not believe we can make it? And he wants to rely on the help of the common people again?"
It's no wonder the imperial physician thought that way, because there was a precedent to follow, and that precedent was the weapon that Lord Ye had been researching at the Privy Council some time ago.
At the time, the Privy Council should have had enough manpower, but it took a long time to crack the code. Unexpectedly, Lord Ye discovered that someone in the common people was able to make it, so he directly brought him to the court.
They then recruited many craftsmen from the common people and formed a special research organization. Before long, the weapon was completed.
Therefore, they believed that Ye Yuwu wrote these things in his storybooks in order to conduct a thorough investigation among the people and find some capable people to produce penicillin.
This means that the time for them to produce penicillin at the hospital is imminent, because they need to demonstrate their abilities to Lord Ye, otherwise they will continue to be looked down upon. This is essentially a matter of the reputation of their Imperial Hospital, so they naturally have to do their best.
That's what the people in the Imperial Medical Academy thought, so when they received the news, they insisted on taking action.
"Please don't rush, everyone. This statement doesn't just mention penicillin; it also mentions many other remedies, such as alcohol and allicin..."
Upon hearing the series of medical prescriptions, they fell silent again, unable to resist interrupting Sixteen, "Wait a minute, are you saying that while we've been painstakingly researching penicillin for so long, and we haven't even figured out penicillin yet, a whole bunch of new prescriptions have appeared? And the general public is also paying attention?"
Sixteen nodded, then saw the imperial physicians resume their work after he nodded. Puzzled, he scratched his head and could only continue, "This storybook says penicillin is very effective; it also has another name, something like antibiotic..."
"We're not interested in any other names for it, Sixteen. You'd better hurry up and come with us to do the research! Don't waste that time. We must make this penicillin before everyone else, otherwise, where will our Imperial Medical Academy's reputation be?" Lord Lü, with his back to Sixteen, was fiddling with things along with the other imperial physicians.
Sixteen breathed a sigh of relief, "Alright, I was actually planning to share with you the specific effects of penicillin... This penicillin can save lives!"
Sixteen put the storybook back into his arms and was about to roll up his sleeves to help with the work when suddenly Lord Lü turned around and stared at him with piercing eyes. "What did you say?"
"Um, I was saying that penicillin can save lives!"
"Of course I know it can save lives, otherwise why would Lord Ye give us this prescription? I mean, what specific diseases can this penicillin treat?"
"Wait a minute, let me take a look," Sixteen said, taking the storybook out of his pocket again and opening it to read. "Penicillin can greatly increase the body's resistance, such as effectively relieving symptoms like fever and cough in some infections and diseases..."
Sixteen read the storybook aloud, but very slowly. Lord Lü couldn't help but snatch it away and read it word by word, following the direction Sixteen had been looking.
This is quite remarkable!
