Chapter 155 Reveals Pharmaceutical Skills
The captain was walking with Liu Jingxue. When he saw the things in her backpack, which were obviously not wild vegetables, he asked curiously,
"Xiaoxue, why are you getting so many weeds?"
Liu Jingxue did not hide it and replied, "Captain, this is not a weed. It is a good thing and a relatively precious herb."
"Xiaoxue, you know herbs, do you know medical skills?" The captain was moved and asked quickly.
Liu Jingxue said half-truthfully, "My grandfather was a military doctor in the army, and I learned from him.
But what I learned was not medicine, but medicine making."
"What is pharmacy?" Someone who heard the conversation asked with curiosity.
Liu Jingxue patiently explained, "When we go to the hospital to see a doctor, the one who diagnoses the patient and determines what disease he has is a doctor. Doctors learn medical skills.
After seeing the doctor, the doctor will prescribe medicine for the patient according to the condition. Those medicines are not created out of thin air, but are developed by people who know how to make medicine. "
After Liu Jingxue said this, many people around understood.
"Xiaoxue, how are you doing in learning pharmacy?" the captain asked hurriedly.
Their production team had a clinic with a barefoot doctor who was forced to do the job.
What is the level of medical skills? Basically, I can use ready-made medicine to stop the bleeding and bandage it.
If you have a cold and a fever, I'll give you two pills from the commune.
As for the others, after just one look, they would say that they couldn't be cured and send people to the town hospital.
Every time I went to the commune to get medicine, I couldn't get much.
After all, everyone knows the current situation. All kinds of resources are in short supply and the commune is also in a difficult situation.
You can't just go to the hospital in town, and it costs a lot of money to go there.
Therefore, many people in the team, even if they had some headaches, fevers, or discomfort, just endured it.
It often causes a minor illness to become a major one, or the disease is delayed and cannot be cured.
The team leader was thinking, if Liu Jingxue's medicine making skills were just passable, could she make some commonly used medicines for the village.
Especially since winter is coming, many elderly people and children in the team suffer from colds every winter.
However, the team’s clinic was short of medicines.
To get medicine from the town hospital, one has to see the patient in person and only after diagnosis will the medicine be prescribed.
At that time, heavy snow blocked the roads, making it difficult even for good people to go to town, let alone sick elderly people and children.
If we force the person to go, I'm afraid it might only make the condition worse.
Therefore, every winter, some people in the team died from colds and flu due to lack of timely medical treatment.
“Captain, if I tell you that my medicine making skills are very good, you won’t believe it unless you actually verify it.
Let me tell you this, I can make all the commonly used medicines.
And I still have quite a bit of stock there.
When I went to the countryside before, I brought several large packages with me, one of which was specifically for the medicine I made.”
Liu Jingxue did not lie. After she received the inheritance of alchemy, she practiced constantly in the space and refined a lot of medicine. She had quite a lot in stock.
And she not only got common medicines, but also some more unconventional medicines, she also got a lot of them.
"Really? That's great." The captain clapped his hands excitedly.
He looked at Liu Jingxue beside him and said a little embarrassedly, "Xiaoxue, can you give these medicines you made to the villagers?
Of course, I’m not asking you to give it away for free, we’ll give you work points.”
Liu Jingxue looked at him and said, "Captain, you haven't even seen the efficacy of the medicine I made, yet you dare to give it to the team members.
Aren't you afraid that I am just bragging and lying? What if the treatment goes wrong?"
“I have seen everything you have done during these days in the countryside, and you are not the kind of person who talks big.
And even if you are exaggerating a bit, as long as your medicine can cure the disease, I will give it to the villagers."
The team leader explained the situation in the team to Liu Jingxue in detail.
“So Xiaoxue, I have no other choice.
Compared to saving lives, we don’t care even if your medicine has side effects or leaves any sequelae.”
Liu Jingxue fell silent after hearing this.
Yes, compared with losing one's life, a few side effects are nothing.
Even medicines from later generations have side effects, but people still use them anyway.
"How about this, Captain, you discuss with the villagers and list the most commonly used medicines in the team.
Before the heavy snow comes, I will go into the mountains to collect more herbs and make more medicine for future use."
After hearing this, the captain quickly expressed his gratitude, "Xiaoxue, thank you so much.
You have helped us a lot.”
"Captain, you are so polite. I have to thank you for trusting me so much and for promoting the medicine I made in the team.
There is just one thing that Captain Bo needs to consider.
I can only make medicine, but I can’t treat illnesses, so if you come to me to get medicine, you have to tell me what disease you have, so that I can give you the appropriate medicine.”
Liu Jingxue paused for a moment, remembering the clinic the children had pointed out to her before, and said,
"But don't worry, we have a clinic in our team. If there is a clinic, there must be a doctor.
When the time comes, he will diagnose the condition and then come to me to get the medicine.
Or I can give him the prepared medicine and let him distribute it to the patients."
Someone nearby sneered, "As for the barefoot doctor in our team's clinic, he is not a proper doctor and can't treat illnesses.
Back then, he was allowed to be a barefoot doctor because he was the only one in our production team who knew a few words and could understand the documents sent down from above and the words on the medicine bottles.
In our team, few people dare to seek medical treatment from him.
Even if they came to his door, he would send them to other places."
Liu Jingxue had never expected this situation.
She looked at the captain and said, "Captain, this is difficult.
Those common colds and fevers are not so serious.
If it is any other disease, if we don't know the specific condition, we can't use medicine.
This medicine is not something you can take carelessly.”
When the captain heard this, he remained silent. This was indeed a problem.
Suddenly someone asked, "Captain, can you please ask the higher authorities to send a doctor who knows medicine to our village?
The one in our clinic is really not very presentable."
The captain felt his sore spot was touched and he couldn't help but glare at the man fiercely.
"You think I don't want to? It's not like I haven't reported it to the higher-ups, but there's no one there.
Do you think it is easy to train a real doctor? It takes many years of study before you can become a master.
People have studied for so many years, is it just to run to the remote countryside to suffer?
No one wants to stay in a big city or a big hospital.”
“But if the higher-ups give the order, they wouldn’t dare not come, right?” Although he was glared at by the captain, the man still bravely said.
Someone next to him scolded him, "Are you stupid?
People were forced to come to the countryside, and when they were full of resentment, they could not stay there with peace of mind.
What should we do if they take their anger out on us and give us random treatments or random medicines?
If the doctor wants to punish you, he has plenty of ways to do it."
Thinking of her aunt in the cowshed, Liu Jingxue said, "Captain, you have to find a way to solve this problem.
If we can find someone the villagers can trust, who can diagnose their illnesses and then come to me to get medicine, then there will be no problem.”
The captain frowned, "I need to think about this carefully and discuss it with the others."
