Chapter 40 Being a doctor also requires learning mathematics
“Master, are you in a bad mood recently?”
Old Franz discovered that Frederick had returned from spending a night in the castle that day. Something is a little off.
Frederick has been worried all day long recently and doesn't pay much attention to things in the camp. He doesn't know what to write or draw in the tent.
After hearing Old Franz’s inquiry, he just shook his head and said nothing.
Sofia's condition was not optimistic. After writing to experts at Weisenberg University, they had no idea. Only Friedrich prescribed several cough drops to be taken in turn to reduce drug resistance.
"Nothing." Frederick said, "What's the matter?"
He trusted this old knight. Now the camp is on the right track. There are precedents for many things to refer to. You don’t have to make so many decisions.
Old Franz said: "There is a doctor who wants to see you."
The Wesson family now has no family doctor. The original doctor resigned after Frederick's mother died of illness.
So now a doctor came to his door, and old Franz immediately informed Frederick.
"Doctor?" Frederick stopped writing, "What's the matter?"
Old Franz said to the old man with a black line on his head: "Doctor Frank was worried about the outbreak of plague in the camp, so he volunteered Come to help, I saw that he was so kind and came to report to the master."
"I asked, Dr. Frank has graduation badges from three medical schools, his medical skills sound good, and my old problem is correct. Better than the doctor at home before."
"He also has his daughter, Miss Florence, who is a nurse and has a badge of medical school graduation."
Frederick understood as soon as he heard that old Franz was not young anymore and was about to reach the age where he could not live without a doctor. It would be difficult for Wesson to manage without a good doctor.
“Let them in,” said Frederick.
Old Franz quickly brought a middle-aged man of about forty and a lady of almost twenty into the tent.
Frederick asked Tarot to move a chair for the two of them to sit down. He looked at the medical school graduation badges worn on the chests of the father and daughter. He thought that his medical skills should be fine, so he asked: " Do you know algebra and geometry? "
Frank wants to find a job here. He heard that Baron Wesson was still a child, and he was already prepared for the interview. He had graduated from three medical schools. It's enough to calm a lot of people.
However, no matter how he prepared, he never expected that Frederick would ask himself if he knew mathematics at the beginning.
He asked carefully: "Excuse me, Your Excellency, Baron, why do you need knowledge of algebra and geometry to be a doctor?"
Frederick pulled out a stack of fine paper from the document box on the side. After handing the parchment tied with a rope to Frank, he said: "What I want is not a doctor who only serves me, but a marshal among doctors."
"Such a doctor does not need medical skills. Extremely proficient, what he needs to do is to find ways to cure diseases and save people from numbers."
"For example, in the first few days of our camp, there were only two to three thousand people."
"At this time, several pharmacist scholars from Weissenburg University and dozens of students in pharmacy and other majors were divided into two groups to carry out different tasks."
"The first group treated all students After analyzing these statistical data, they compiled a statistical table of factors affecting various diseases that people suffer from. Then, based on this, they drew a priority diagram and found out the most urgent needs among the many diseases. Diseases to be treated. "
"Then they carefully organized and analyzed the causes of these diseases and used the cause-and-effect analysis diagram as a tool to gradually analyze and find out the causes of the major diseases. ""Then they made statistics on the current situation. A large number of causes were identified and confirmed one by one through the cause confirmation form, and finally the main cause was determined."
"After confirming the main causes, they compiled a list of causes and countermeasures and formulated them. Corresponding countermeasures and control objectives have been established.”
"They used this as a guide to concentrate their limited efforts on treating patients and preventing diseases in the camp."
"The second group conducted independent statistics. They regularly reported the types of diseases in the camp, and the number of illnesses. The statistics of the number of people, the number of people cured, etc. are analyzed and compared through tables and graphs to understand the changes in various diseases in real time and provide a basis for decision-making."
After Frederick finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and drank. A sip of tea soothes your throat.
He knows a hell of a lot about medicine. Scholars and students of pharmacy know medicine, but they only know how to judge simple diseases. They are not professional doctors in diagnosis.
So when Frederick faced many diseases, he could only pick the biggest one to solve first.
He didn't have many tools at the time to effectively analyze and make decisions on disease issues, so he simply used QC group activities to find the disease that needed to be treated first and use the root cause analysis.
At the same time, the second group used statistics to visualize information and statistical data, and used intuitive data to provide a basis for decision-making. This was a major contribution of the "Goddess with the Lamp" in his hometown.
This is where the three steps of discarding old clothes, shaving, and bathing with medicinal liquids are now required for disaster victims after entering the camp. The purpose is to reduce the spread of various blood-sucking insects and skin parasites.
Frederick saw a disaster victim who needed special treatment. There were two palm-sized areas on his back where skin parasites had laid eggs. The eggs had hatched and could only be covered with melted beeswax. Then remove the larvae through physical means like removing blackheads.
Intestinal parasitic diseases are particularly prevalent in areas. Fortunately, Friedrich's deworming capsules are also effective against bugs other than roundworms, so students who know necromancers are in trouble and need to take it every day. Go to the septic tank and kill the pests, otherwise the land will not be needed.
Frank and Florence, father and daughter, quietly looked at the data and charts on the parchment, and were deeply shocked.
Finally Frank said very solemnly: "Baron Wesson, I have a heartfelt request."
Frederick nodded and said: "Please tell me."
Frank took off all the badges on his clothes, with a hint of fanaticism on his face, and said excitedly: "Please tell me which scholar invented this method, and I want to be his student!"
He was very interested in the methods of determining the cause of the disease in these documents. Nowadays, many diseases have no public opinion on how the patients got sick. If the cause of those diseases can be determined in this way, it will be a good choice for future medical student examinations. Naturally, the thing that appears the most on the paper is my own name.
Before Frederick could answer, old Franz who was standing next to him said, "Who else could be our baron's teacher? It's just that the master traveled to other places a few years ago. I don't know where he is." , If you want to learn, just learn from our master.”
He was also present when Frederick assigned the task, and gave the wandering scholar’s excuse, as long as he could keep the doctor. Everyone is a winner.
Frederick shrugged and said: "Actually, this method is not mainly used in medicine, but I have no other method. It can also be used in agriculture and handicrafts."
< br>"If you want to learn, you can first take a position with me, and then study and discuss with the students at Weissenburg University."
Frank agreed immediately.
Frederick asked Tarot to take the father and daughter to arrange accommodation, and then said to old Franz: "Next, let him participate in the management of the camp. I will go back to the territory the day after tomorrow to see how the new village is being settled."< br>
Old Franz immediately said: "No problem, now we all have experience."
