Take the hospital back to ancient times

Chapter 272

In the shack area on the east side of Huimin Medicine, there are torches everywhere, and many medical officers are carrying frames of quicklime and spreading them everywhere. This is the only thing that can disinfect the epidemic in ancient times.

In Bianliang City in autumn, the night is still quite cold, but everyone at the scene is sweating.

Unlike Chen Buer and the others who sweated from hot pot, many doctors at the shack were sweating from fright.

There is a special situation, before Lu Enyu did not dare to report to the superior, the shack area, including the nearby slums, had already died.

This means that this "epidemic dysentery" has been going on for some time. If Chen Buer and the others hadn't come by chance, it would have been a long time before this group of big men from the Huimin Pharmacy found out about the epidemic next door.

If the whole city spreads at that time, it will be a great disaster.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, even the medical officials were so superior and isolated from the masses. It is conceivable how rotten the entire officialdom has become.

Lu Enyu looked at the corpses that smelled like excrement, including men and women, adults and children, a total of 23 people, neatly stacked on the ground, and his scalp felt numb.

It was not only Lu Enyu who was numb, but also fifty medical officers from Huimin Medical Bureau.

This has to be held accountable, and all of them will be dispatched to Yazhou.

Lu Enyu swallowed, "The epidemic can't wait, now the corpse can't be transported out of Xijiaofang, come and fetch firewood, get it to the open space next to it, let's cremate it."

As soon as the words came out, the officials next to him agreed again and again:

"Yes, yes, the sooner the cremation is the better, we can't let the plague spread around."

"Master Lu's words are very true, and my subordinates agree."

"We still have a lot of matches and charcoal in the pharmacy. I'll send someone to fetch them right away."

Everyone immediately reached a tacit agreement, that is, to destroy the corpses as soon as possible. Anyway, those who died were untouchables or poor households without property and rights. Who would really investigate these people after they died?

As I said before, one Chai Zijin can reach thousands of people in Xijiaofang.

As long as it can be concealed and covered up firmly, even if someone reports it afterwards, the matter can only be let go if there is no proof.

After a while, the fire began to blaze, and all the sins and ugliness were burned away with the fire, and everyone wiped their sweat.

But the dead are easy to burn, and you have hundreds of living people over there?

Just this afternoon, the scope of the investigation was expanded, and many patients with high fever and diarrhea were found from private houses. All of them had the same symptoms and were immediately classified as "diarrhea."

The total number has now reached more than 400 people, which is twice the number in the morning. If it doubles again tomorrow, it will be thousands.

Wu Zhiye has been busy treating patients, and now he lacks everything, including medicinal materials and nursing staff.

In such a messy environment, even clean food and drinking water cannot be guaranteed, the disease will only get worse, and more and more people will be infected.

Wu Zhiye knew that this would not work, he was about to go to find Lu Enyu when he suddenly saw flames bursting into the sky not far away.

All the medical officers, including the imperial guards, looked up. For a while, everyone stood there in a daze, and then there were bursts of exclamations in lowered voices.

During the plague, there was a sudden burst of inexplicable fire. Everyone present had experience, which showed that many people had died, and the dead bodies were being burned.

Everyone sighed in their hearts, this is really a disaster, everyone is worried about themselves and their families.

Wu Zhiye didn't reprimand loudly, this was beyond his control, and it was also an unspoken rule in the industry, but he was in a hurry.

He was in charge of thirty patients alone, but he was only given two apprentice doctors from Huimin Pharmacy, and it was too late for the three of them to make medicine, clean up the patients, and observe the condition.

The same situation also appeared in other groups.

There are 100 medical officers in Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau, plus medical apprentices, janitors, cafeteria workers, and cleaners, the total number is less than [-].

More than 400 patients, far overloaded.

Wu Zhiye was still bowing his head to give medicine to a patient, when the apprentice doctor over there shouted: "Mr. Wu, the Pulsatilla is gone."

"The yellow cypresses on our side are gone!"

"Which one of you has Qin Pi? I'm gone!"

Cries of lack of medicine came and went in the front hall of Huimin Pharmacy and in various wards, and all of a sudden, everyone's hearts were entangled.

Epidemic dysentery, the classic prescription of Chinese medicine is "Pulsatilla Decoction and Shaoyao Decoction".

Everyone knows this prescription. In the Huimin Pharmacy, all the relevant medicinal materials have been taken out, but after only half a day, there is no medicine?
Wu Zhiye stood up, the change of body position caused a burst of dizziness, he stabilized, and then said:

"What's going on? Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau should have at least seven days' worth of medicinal materials that can be used by 1 people. How could it be gone in less than half a day?"

The doctor squeaked and couldn't speak.
"Mr. Wu, this, this, I, I don't know, but there is no medicine in the medicine storehouse, and the villain will never dare to hide it."

"The medicine store is out of medicine?"

Wu Zhiye immediately realized what was going on, and really wanted to scold a fool, "All the medical officers in Huimin Pharmacy should be killed!"

The news of the shortage of medicines in various medical groups was immediately fed back to Lu Enyu, so anxious that Mr. Lu slapped the deputy directors next to him with a slap.

"You guys have done a good job. You usually don't listen to me asking you to prepare more medicinal materials. What should I do now? What should I do? People from the Tai Hospital, Tai Chang Temple, and even the Political Affairs Hall will be arriving soon. What do you think should be done?"

Deputy Director Zhang knew that the matter was serious, and said with a mournful face:
"Lord Lu, now is not the time to say who is to blame. Hurry up and think of a way. If you really want to be found out by the higher-ups, one here counts as one, and none of them can escape. This is a serious crime of beheading."

There was chaos in the house all of a sudden, the outbreak of the epidemic was so sudden that they had no time to close their positions.

As a welfare medical institution supported by the imperial court, Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau has received a large amount of funding. One of its main responsibilities is to stockpile emergency medicines for life-saving use when the country is in crisis.

This function is the same as the "Jiayou warehouse" of the national grain depot.

However, no matter how good the system is, without the power of supervision, it will always be sung by a group of monks.

As far as the higher-ups are concerned, no matter how greedy the people in Huimin Pharmacy are, as long as nothing happens, the higher-ups will actually turn a blind eye to it. After all, everyone has a share of money.

But once something goes wrong, the leaders will be held accountable, so they have to find someone to take the place of the dead ghost and go to Caishikou. None of the chief executives and medical officers of Huimin Pharmacy can escape by then.
