Chapter 843 825. Circuit Breaker
“Typhus?”
Hippocrates vaguely heard Lan’s murmur, and he repeated it.
And looked at Lan En eagerly and passionately.
“Have you seen this disease?”
More than just seen.
Lan En thought to himself.
He also personally treated this disease.
On the island of Kefalonia, this acute infectious disease almost destroyed the entire island.
This kind of infectious disease is actually not difficult to treat, but the concept of "not difficult to treat" is put into the modern medical and chemical industry system.
Most of the treatments required for this disease require chemical synthesis of highly effective drugs.
After a few courses of treatment, you will basically be fine. At most, the rash on your skin will leave some scars.
But in today's context.
Lan En frowned and shook his head heavily.
“I can’t treat too many people. Under the current conditions, it is very difficult to cure this disease. I have only treated less than ten people at most before.”
"What do you mean?" Hippocrates' eyes widened, and even the wrinkles on his bald forehead deepened due to his shocked expression.
The expressions of Socrates and Aspasia were very different from his.
“You said you have successfully cured the plague?!”
In this era, this is almost a miracle equivalent to ‘favoring the gods’!
"That's just less than ten survivors, don't make such a fuss."
Lan En said with a frown.
"No! No no! The meaning is definitely not that simple."
Aspasia pursed her lips and paced around excitedly, as if Lan En's deeds had made her Thinking is inspired.
Hippocrates’ excitement was even more palpable.
"Treatment? No one lets you treat him!" He also put his hands on the table and leaned forward to stare into Lan En's eyes.
"Although it is cruel to say this, the most important task in dealing with the plague should be on 'isolation'! Treatment of those who are already sick should only be done when there is spare time. This is to save more talents. "
"It sounds like you have a clue?"
Lan En was somewhat interested in the progress of the founder of Western medicine, so he reached out to invite him. .
Hippocrates was not pretentious either. From his previous conversation, he confirmed that Lan En was an expert like him.
Even if such a person said that he had 'cured the plague' just now, it would be good to have a little exchange of experiences.
"I now find that the type of people in Athens who are least vulnerable to the plague are blacksmiths."
Hippocrates elaborated his findings seriously, although even he himself was still There is no deeper understanding of this discovery.
“But I don’t know why? Why can only blacksmiths be so safe from the plague?”
Because of high-temperature sterilization and sterilization, even if you just stand next to the flame, the poison in the air will The content and activity of disease factors will drop off a cliff.
This kind of knowledge is something that any student who has done biological experiments next to an alcohol lamp in Lan En's home world knows.
But in the ancient Greek world in the nascent stage of civilization, this was a phenomenon that was puzzling, and even forced to be classified as the "blessing of the god of fire".
"If we just want to stop the plague, then I have a feasible plan now." Lan En said clearly.
Mentos organized the pathogenesis of typhus in the brain and quickly sorted out preventive measures.
"Burn the patient's body, including his clothes. The disease is spread by contact between the patient and ordinary people, as well as a small bug on the patient's body."
"We have already started doing this, although the progress is not optimistic yet."
Phidias said regretfully while quickly writing down Lan En's words on the clay tablet.
In today's cultural atmosphere, the act of hastily cremating corpses is almost sacrilegious, so now, although many corpses have been burned in the city of Athens, there are even large areas of black clouds in the sky that have not been blown away by the wind. cigarette.
But that’s just a family that couldn’t bear it any longer and set the corpses of patients at home on fire.
There are also a large number of corpses stranded during the ceremony, becoming a source of infection.
"Not only corpses and personal belongings, but also mugwort and sesame oil will be burned on the street. The vomit and excrement of the patients will also have to be burned."
Flame, the power of purification.
This imagery exists in many civilizations.
Lan En’s words were recorded on the clay tablets by Hippocrates as a treasure.
This is not only because Lann "claimed" to have cured the plague, but also because these preventive measures do coincide with some vague ideas that Hippocrates had already born in his mind.
It's just that before Lan En said these ideas, his logic and knowledge reserves were not enough to sort them out and list them.
"Yes, yes!" Hippocrates murmured excitedly as he remembered, "We can stop the plague! Use our knowledge and experience!"
And After describing the current measures to curb the plague, Lan turned his head and turned his attention from Hippocrates to Aspasia.
“I really don’t know what you were arguing about just now. Blocking the plague and political propaganda, these two things cannot be done at the same time. Do they have to be either one or the other?”
"Change your thinking, Aspasia, and Socrates."
Lan En tapped his temples at the two of them.
Aspasia has a tendency to lower her head and turn her head, which shows that although she is an excellent politician, she still resists from the bottom of her heart when she is criticized.
Although this resistance is small, it still exists.
But Socrates was different. When this short, fat and hairy man heard that he needed to change his thinking, his eyes were filled with eagerness and excitement for knowledge that almost overflowed. Coming.
Lan En felt that maybe in the second before his death, his curiosity about 'death' would be more powerful than his fear of 'death'.
"Political propaganda does not necessarily have to promote political ideals and visions throughout the process. Isn't it okay to promote the knowledge of stopping the plague at the middle sharing point?"
"Gather the people together, and then light flames and wormwood around the gathering. , let the high temperature heat wave and smoke sweep over the waves of people who come to listen to the lecture, is it okay to do so?”
“The health performance of the people who come to listen to your political propaganda will become a Your propaganda is a living example.”
“It’s true that there is a strong atmosphere for political participation in Athens, but I can guarantee that there are far more people interested in health than in politics. Much more.”
The political propaganda Lan En has seen is much more diverse than the current group of Athenians.
It is a very simple method to tie political propaganda with practical interests.
But in today's situation, it is absolutely useful.
