Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Chapter 61 Puerperal fever

This is a naked expression of doubts about Lu Liufang's professional ability.

Lu Liufang's face was flushed with anger, and she resisted the urge to point at Li Xin's nose and curse, and asked, "Then what if His Royal Highness Chu loses?"

Li Xin stroked his chin and thought for a while, then said, "I don't know. What do you think is more appropriate? If I lose, I will also resign as King of Chu?"

When Lu Liufang heard this, he was stunned on the spot. Xu Jingchen hurriedly tried to persuade him: "Why is this, why is this!"

What a joke, he is just a small medical officer. If he resigns, he will resign. No one will care at all. At worst, just choose another one. Li Xin's position as the king of Chu cannot be resigned casually, even if the king of Chu just shows a hint of not wanting to continue to be the king of Chu, it will be a major event that can cause turmoil in the government and the public.

If His Majesty Li Er knew that Li Xin was giving up his title because of a bet with Lu Liufang, then the first thing he would do was to beat Li Xin up. Because the title is not like this, you can just say no to it casually. And the second thing the old man has to do is to find a reason to kill Lu Liufang.

There is no way, the crime of bewitching the prince is not a small one.

Of course Li Xin knew this very well. The reason why he intentionally said the unrealistic bet of "resigning from the position of king of Chu" was actually just to ridicule Lu Liufang better - Li Xin was reminding Lu Liufang that there was too much difference in status between them. He couldn't even afford an equal bet.

As a medical idiot who simply wanted to ask medical questions, Xu Jingchen certainly didn't want to cause such a big incident, so he hurriedly tried to persuade him.

Lu Liufang was even more dumbfounded.

What are you doing? Can't afford it? How do people accept your words?

Li Xin laughed loudly, waved his hand and said: "Forget it, if I lose in the end, I will give you five hundred coins, how about apologizing to you by the way?"

Lu Liufang was so disgusted by Li Xin's tone that she wanted to vomit blood, but she still had to agree. He knew it was the only bet he could afford.

Xu Jingchen wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and heaved a sigh of relief. As long as things don't get serious, he doesn't care too much, but he still can't help secretly regretting in his heart: If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have brought Lu Liufang here, he was not stable at all, and he had caused so much trouble.

"I don't know how His Royal Highness King Chu wants to prove that the external evil is a microorganism?" Lu Liufang suppressed her anger and asked seriously.

Xu Jingchen also hurriedly listened attentively. He was really curious about Li Xin's statement, and he also vaguely felt that this statement did have some truth.

Li Xin said with a smile: "According to my research, although there are countless microorganisms and various types, most of them are very fragile and easy to kill. As long as they are killed, they will have no way to invade the human body." cause disease."

Xu Jingchen asked: "So how can we kill these microorganisms?"

Li Daoxin: "At this stage, there are two methods. The first is sunlight. Exposure to sunlight can kill more than 90% of bacteria. The second is heat. Boiling water can also kill 99% of microorganisms."

Xu Jingchen suddenly realized: "No wonder the king of Chu wrote in the health regulations that the gauze used for bandaging must be boiled in boiling water and exposed to sunlight."

Li Xin nodded.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu said that there are only these two methods at this stage. Will there be other methods in the future?" Xu Jingchen asked suddenly.

Li Xin nodded and said: "Yes. In fact, wine can also inactivate these microorganisms. It's just that the wine we usually drink is not strong enough to meet the needs of killing bacteria. I will develop a strong enough concentration in the future Alcohol, we can get more drugs to kill microorganisms, and the death rate of wounded soldiers can be further reduced."

After the winery is officially in operation, it is definitely not difficult to get 75% disinfectant alcohol, and you can have as much as you want.

Lu Liufang interjected, "So, what kind of bet does His Royal Highness King Chu want?"

The corners of Li Xin's lips raised into a smile, and he said, "Do you know about puerperal fever?"

Xu Jingchen replied: "Does it mean that the woman has persistent high fever and chills after giving birth?"

Li Tao: "Yes. The current medical books usually think that it is caused by factors such as exogenous wind and cold, so they emphasize that women are not allowed to open the window to blow the wind during confinement, but in fact, there is no necessary connection between the two. The so-called puerperal fever , In fact, it is caused by the invasion of microorganisms into the woman's body through the birth canal."

Lu Liufang curled her lips in disdain.

Xu Jingchen had some understanding and said, "So, according to King Chu's theory, if you want to reduce the incidence of puerperal fever, you only need to kill the microorganisms on the clothes and bedding of the puerpera?"

Li Xin praised: "It's almost the same, but it's not comprehensive enough. In fact, not only after the delivery is over, but also during delivery, all towels used must be boiled in boiling water, and all maids and women who come into contact with the parturient must be repeatedly washed with cold water." Wash your hands with boiling water, etc. Later, I can write you a note, as long as you follow this note, the probability of puerperal fever will be greatly reduced.”

Xu Jingchen beamed with joy, smiled and cupped his hands in thanks.

Li Xin turned to Lu Liufang and said, "Our two gambling methods are also very simple. It is also easy for your imperial medical office to find stable women and other information? You just want to know about pregnant women suffering from puerperium after giving birth in previous years." What is the probability of fever? Then, teach my set of precautions to women who are stable, and strictly order them to deliver babies in the future according to this rule. If in the next few months, the feedback information shows that the mothers suffer from puerperium If the probability of heat drops, it means that I have won. On the contrary, it means that you have won."

Lu Liufang frowned and thought for a while, and felt that the bet was fair, and there were no hidden traps, so she nodded and agreed: "If the method of King Chu can really reduce the probability of puerperal puerperal fever, then I Just resign from office, go home and concentrate on studying medicine! No complaints."

Li Xin nodded and said, "Very good. That's it."

Xu Jingchen looked at the two helplessly, and vaguely began to worry about Lu Liufang's future.

The two sat for a while, then said goodbye to Li Xin, got up and left Chu Palace. Walking out of the gate of Chu Palace, Lu Liufang saw that Xu Jingchen was not going in the direction of going back, so she asked, "Brother Xu, where are you going? Aren't you going back to the office?"

Xu Jingchen said: "I'll go to Longquan Temple to have a look. The guy who was debridement and sutured by the King of Chu is still living there these days. I want to see how he is recovering."
