Chapter 713 Royal Medical University of France
Unlike the 21st century where drug-resistant strains are flying everywhere due to the misuse of antibiotics, the germs in this era have not yet been "trained", so the treatment effect of penicillin is very good.
Only 4 hours after the injection, Camelia’s high fever was initially relieved.
Just after five o'clock, Dr. Lamarck brought in the newly purified glucose - a small bottle of less than 70 grams, with a concentration of 7.3%.
In this era, there was no technology to produce glucose from starch, and the purification technology was imperfect. It took more than ten kilograms of raisins to make such a small amount of glucose. The cost is as high as more than 200 francs.
Lamarck sucked the glucose solution into the syringe, then pierced the blood vessel in Camelia's arm and began to push it slowly.
Yes, the Crown Prince specifically warned that glucose should not be injected too fast. At this time, there was no bottle lifting equipment, so we had to rely on manual work.
Fortunately, Dr. Lamarck's hand was very steady, and it took him 10 minutes to put all the medicine into Camelia's body.
After the needle was pulled out, the latter became energetic almost instantly and asked Perna to help her sit up.
Joseph looked at her pale little face and asked with concern: "How are you feeling, are you feeling better?"
The maid nodded, her voice no longer as weak as before: "Thank you, Your Highness, I don't seem to be as uncomfortable as before."
Lamarque and his assistants looked at each other, with deep shock in their eyes. color.
They are all experienced doctors, and it is easy to see how weak Camelia is.
According to their estimation, even if the "type 1 antibiotics" take effect, it will take at least five or six days to recover, just like the rabbits in the previous experiment.
The most pessimistic doctor even thought it would take more than half a month for her to get out of bed.
However, that magical glucose was like magic, making her energetic quickly.
Lamarck came to Joseph's side and whispered: "Your Highness, is the drug mechanism of glucose and opium tincture similar?"
Opium tincture is cherry millet extract, which can indeed make people Quickly cheer up.
Joseph laughed and shook his head: "No, no, you misunderstood. Glucose is an energy substance.
"The food we eat will eventually be converted into glucose in the body, and what we do Anything, even just lying down and thinking, consumes this energy.
"When we inject glucose into Camelia, it is equivalent to her having a full meal and digesting it thoroughly, thereby quickly recovering her strength."
"Wait, Your Highness, can you please say it again?" Lamarck He took out his notebook and recorded it very seriously.
Several of his assistants also did the same action.
No wonder they are so excited. If this amazing theory proves to be correct, it will definitely win the next Louis Medal for Medicine!
"Of course." Joseph nodded, and then told Lamarck everything he knew about glucose. By the way, he also talked about injecting saline to replenish the body's electrolytes.
Lamarck looked at the notes in his hand and shouted excitedly: "Your Highness, according to what you said, we can survive without eating or drinking, and injecting glucose and saline every day.
"Human beings Life forms will change as a result! "
He didn't even ask how His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knew these things. In fact, His Highness gave him some "surprises" from time to time, and he was used to it - it must be God's revelation. Joseph shook his head hurriedly Said: “This is not possible. If we want to survive, in addition to the most basic energy, water and electrolytes, we also need a wide variety of vitamins and trace elements. These substances must be obtained from various foods. "
Lamarck looked at Joseph with straight eyes and murmured: "Vitamins...trace elements...essential substances for survival..."
Joseph suddenly felt that he had gone a bit far, and he coughed dryly and said: "Well, I can tell you slowly about these while you are developing the 'type 1 antibiotics'."
He looked at it Looking at the sky outside the window, towards Camelli Ya signaled: "This is not suitable for the patient to rest. I have to take her back to the Palace of Versailles."
"Okay, Your Highness." Lamarck nodded with some disappointment and asked, "Well, I want to combine glucose and Write a paper on electrolytes , Oh, it will definitely not delay the research and development here, do you think it is okay?"
"Of course," Joseph said, "Please also send someone to bring the medicine and glucose that Camelia will use tomorrow morning. Sent to Versailles ”
"I will deliver it myself." Lamarck obviously wanted to "learn" some knowledge about vitamins and the like, but he still defended, "Injecting medicine requires certain skills, and I'm worried that others will not be able to do it. ”
"Okay, please excuse me."
On the way back to the Palace of Versailles.
Perna was sitting in the carriage, lowering her head and thinking about something.
Joseph thought she had something on her mind and was about to ask when she suddenly raised her head, her eyes flashing with excitement: "Your Highness, I think injecting glucose and saline can play a role in treating the wounded. Very effective.
“Many soldiers are unconscious or too weak to eat, causing their bodies to gradually collapse.
"If glucose and normal saline can be carried in logistical supplies, the mortality rate of the wounded will be greatly reduced!"
She is worthy of being the founder of the French military field hospital, and she is always thinking about the wounded soldiers.
Joseph nodded with deep understanding: "You are right. But this requires a new syringe manufacturing plant. As for glucose, it can be produced in the Paris pharmaceutical factory."
Perna continued Said: "Your Highness, the syringes can be produced in the mask factory. There are many skilled workers there."
The mask factory Joseph invested in has been managed by Perna, and now it has grown to a monthly output of 65,000 A large factory with thousands of masks and good profitability.
Joseph nodded: "That's okay. I'll let the craftsman who made the syringe today help you."
Perna held his arm, rested her head on his shoulder, and said softly: " Thank God for allowing me to meet you. Only with you can my life become so meaningful."
Joseph stroked her hair: "You too. It’s the most unique scenery in my life.”
The two were affectionate for a while, and Perna remembered something again: “By the way, Your Highness, my father also mentioned before that injecting medicine requires superb skills. Even I cannot easily insert a needle into a vein.
“So, I think we need special training for military doctors and nurses in field hospitals. ”
Joseph patted the back of her hand and said: "Let's just build a military medical university. Soldiers need the best treatment technology.
"I will let Brian allocate funds.
"The Royal University of French Medicine, and you will be the president."
