Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    That afternoon, Zhao Shouzheng led officials from the whole county, as well as district chiefs and section chiefs, to Jiangnan Hospital and awarded gold medals to Wan Mi Zhai, Li Shizhen, and Li Lunming. Their disciples also received silver medals.

    The doctors deserve it.  In just over two months, Jiangnan Hospital has treated more than 3,200 people injured or sick at work for free, and effectively curbed the spread of several epidemics, providing a strong guarantee for the county's success in fighting floods.

    After being awarded the honor, Zhao Shouzheng asked Li Shizhen, deputy director of Jiangnan Hospital and director of the Epidemic Prevention Department, to make a report on the next stage of the epidemic prevention plan for everyone.

    As we all know, great disasters are followed by great epidemics, and no one could figure out why before.  But with the help of microscopes, Jiangnan Hospital finally solved this problem.

    Li Shizhen told everyone that it was because the floods caused the death of a large number of animals, and the garbage and feces carried everywhere by the floods could not be buried and disposed of in time.  In addition, contaminated drinking water and open defecation by disaster victims will breed a large number of pathogenic microorganisms, leading to rampant mosquitoes and rat infestations, all of which will cause epidemics.

    In addition, schistosomiasis, which has plagued Kunshan for many years, will also take the opportunity to cause trouble.

    Therefore, it is necessary to carry out comprehensive and thorough epidemic prevention measures in Kunshan before the victims return.

    For him, he formulated a sixteen-character policy of "county government leadership, hospital guidance, national participation, and comprehensive epidemic prevention" and planned to launch a one-month "national epidemic prevention action", which is divided into five parts.

    The first is to carry out comprehensive environmental cleaning and disinfection.

    Flooded houses, streets, and fields must be thoroughly cleared of silt, drained of stagnant water, filled with potholes, eradicated weeds, and dredged ditches.

    Thoroughly clean up garbage, animal carcasses and excrement, and carry out harmless treatment such as landfill and incineration. At the same time, pest control and rodent control will be carried out to cut off the intermediate links for the spread of diseases.

    The second is the sanitary treatment of drinking water.

    It is forbidden to drink raw water and avoid drinking water from rivers and lakes as much as possible.  All wells must be drained and dredged, the walls and bottom of the wells must be rinsed with clean water, and the sewage must be washed out, and then purified with alum before drinking.

    Open defecation is prohibited to prevent water contamination. All livestock feces are collected and cleaned in a timely manner to prevent water contamination and reduce the breeding of mosquitoes and flies.

    The third is to establish an epidemic monitoring system.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT out of fever or diarrhea should promptly report to the nail head, the nail head should also promptly report to the resident doctor.  After doctors diagnosed the epidemic, they concentrated on isolation and prevention to nip the epidemic in the bud.

    The fourth is to strengthen epidemic prevention publicity and education to villagers.

    Li Shizhen compiled a simple and catchy anti-epidemic song and asked all village chiefs to remember it and publicize it to the villagers every day.

    In addition to promoting the above three points, the epidemic prevention song also educates people to know that diseases enter through the mouth, wash hands before meals and after going to the toilet, and do not rinse your mouth with dirty water when washing vegetables and dishes.  And never eat moldy food, and try not to eat raw or cold food.

    And the fifth point is to prevent potbelly disease.

    ??~~

    Li Shizhen¡¯s speech was clear and full of practical information. He was not as provocative as Mr. Zhao. The officials and gentry in Kunshan County listened carefully to his speech for more than half an hour, and they were inevitably a little distracted.

    But as soon as I heard the fifth point, everyone became excited and became energetic.

    Potbelly disease is a chronic disease that has plagued Kunshan and even the entire Jiangnan water town for many years.  Every year after floods, many people die from this disease.

    The patient first suffered from physical weakness, weakness in limbs, and a sallow complexion and thin muscles. Later, he developed diarrhea and bloody stools and a bulging belly. Finally, he died of despair with no cure.

    What¡¯s even more frightening is that as long as one person in the village gets sick, it will soon spread the disease and even endanger the entire village.

    So in any village where potbelly disease occurs, men cannot find wives and women cannot marry, and the whole village is like a ghost, very scary.

    There is a ballad in southern Jiangsu that says, "When it comes to belly fat, everyone is afraid; a man's belly looks like he is pregnant, and a woman won't have a baby after marriage; a woman should not marry a man with a belly, as she will be poor and widowed."  ¡¯ That¡¯s what I¡¯m talking about.

    ¡°So I heard that this disease can be prevented, and the person who said this was the world-famous miracle doctor Li Shizhen, can everyone here not be excited?

    They started shouting one after another.

    "Miracle Doctor Li, can this disease really be prevented?"

    "Then you are the Bodhisattva who saves the suffering and saves the suffering."

    "We kowtow to you." Many gentry who had suffered so much knelt down directly in front of Li Shizhen.

    ¡°Everyone, get up and be quiet, it¡¯s so noisy.¡± Li Shizhen was still cool and serious.  In his whole life, he only flattered Mr. Zhao. He didn't care about the others, no matter how big an official you were or how rich you were.

    But everyone feels that this is what a miracle doctor should do??Fan'er, not only did not feel offended, but she was very happy with it. They all got up obediently and shut up, listening to Divine Doctor Li say in a deep voice:

    "Thank you Mr. Zhao and the power of science for solving the mystery of this disease for doctors." Li Shizhen first paid high respect to his employer and science.

    Then he told everyone that the disease was not a plague, but a small insect called schistosomiasis.

    Human and animal feces are the main source of schistosomiasis eggs, and snails are the only intermediate host for the spread of schistosomiasis.

    Therefore, firstly, we must prevent human and animal feces from contaminating water sources, and secondly, by mobilizing the entire population to eliminate snails, schistosomiasis can be eradicated.

    At the same time, we must also protect susceptible people and farm cattle and try to avoid contact with infected water. In particular, children must be strictly prohibited from swimming, bathing, and catching fish and shrimp in infected water.

    Everyone quickly took out their notebooks and memorized them, fearing that they might miss something.

    ??~~

    In the hospital ward, Pan Jixun was sitting on the bed, quietly looking out the window with his second brother.

    Pan Zhongzhen, who had also been a prefect, was very surprised to hear this.  After Li Shizhen finished his report and Zhao Shouzheng began to assign tasks, he finally couldn't help but ask the fourth child:

    "Since ancient times, county officials have not gone to the countryside. How can these squires be expected to convey such complicated requirements? How can those unorganized villagers implement them in accordance with the regulations?"

    In the end, most likely it will turn into a farce.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know if it will work elsewhere,¡± Pan Zhongcheng, who already regarded himself as half-Kunshanian, said confidently: ¡°But Kunshan, it will definitely work!¡±

    "Why did you say that?" Pan Zhongzhen became even more confused when he saw the proud look on his younger brother's face.

    "Because everyone here has the same desire and everyone is united; here is that magical boy and his Jiangnan Company" Pan Jixun said leisurely: "The right time, place and people are here, nothing is impossible."

    "Oh" Pan Zhongzhen nodded, naturally not doubting his younger brother's judgment.  He couldn't help but shook his head and said: "Who would have imagined that the soul of Kunshan is not Zhao Zhixian, but his son?"

    "What the old man said is wrong, of course my father is the soul of this county." The ward door opened, and Zhao Hao walked in with a smile on his face, holding a bouquet of golden chrysanthemums.

    He came to the hospital bed and put the chrysanthemums in the vase.

    There is no way, only the chrysanthemums are still blooming this season.  If it had been a few months later, there would still have been plum blossoms.

    Then Mr. Zhao took out an exquisite sandalwood box engraved with snow-white Qiong flowers and handed it to Pan Jixun.

    Pan Jixun¡¯s first reaction was to refuse. He really didn¡¯t like snacks in front of his second brother.

    But Zhao Hao insisted on letting him open it.

    Pan Zhongcheng said to his heart, "I love you as much as I want, I'll just eat it, what's the matter?"

    He gritted his teeth and opened the box, only to find that what was inside was not some new type of cement or rare minerals, but a brilliant golden medal.
