Congressman, Live Again - Episode 490
Chapter 490
035. One needle. Kang Tae-gong catches the moon, and the congressman catches life.
Life in Hangzhou is improving little by little, without resorting to grandiose words such as “one faith, one trust, one trust.”.
I guess that's inevitable since I deal with things like this all day long..
We hire bachelors to distribute work, and in addition to lawmakers from the main body of Baeklin Ui-gak,…….
‘We are continuing to hire and utilize native Hangzhou lawmakers..’
If it's coexistence, it's coexistence..
In Hangzhou, the name of Baeklin's Pavilion was now becoming absolute..
Public sentiment is improving day by day, and even without going into public sentiment, there is currently a large gap in the level of lawmakers in Hangzhou..
A general medical room with apprentice-style training and a large medical room with a systematic education system.
Add to that the modern curriculum with extremely advanced educational technology, and it was natural that the difference would widen..
As a result, it became increasingly difficult for private medical rooms to make a living unless they were affiliated with Baekrin Uigak..
Since the Baeklin Council was short on manpower, they wanted to get at least one more member..
‘Thanks to you, I have a lot to educate you on..’
Of course, you will not be filled with knowledge just by receiving it from Baekrin Uigak..
The first thing to do is to improve the accuracy of diagnosis..
Patients who are difficult to treat can be sent to Hangzhou Bunta, Baeklin Hospital..
However, patients who can be treated can be treated at a local medical clinic..
In some ways, it can be seen that it is not much different from the existing uibang system..
However, what is important is whether or not the disease can be treated, and whether or not it can be quickly transported to Baeklin Uigak Bunta..
Just learning these two judgment criteria is not an easy task..
However, realistically speaking, it was also the most appropriate thing to do..
‘Yuho and Muwol... … He's not coming. Damn it.’
I didn't even expect the four generations to come, but these guys have a lot of work to do, so they don't even show their noses. I knew it would be like this.
Jin Cheon-hee clicked her tongue, coughed up blood again, and came out after finishing her paperwork..
‘I'll be here someday. Until then, the foundation will have to be laid..’
Isn’t it possible to live in Hangzhou forever?.
After handing over, we must return to the headquarters of Baekrin Uigak where Master resides..
We need to prepare for that time, but the city of Hangzhou itself is not easy..
‘It seems that Cheon-woo is acting illegally again..’
Occasionally I hear Cheonwoo’s nameless name..
Of course, they are all far from political factions… … It was a subversive rumor that could be mistaken for Sapa, but there is no doubt that it is on the rise..
Jin Cheon-hee muttered as she smelled the air that was getting colder..
“Ah, the smell of winter.”
Winter has already begun to fall in Hangzhou..
A single snowflake stuck to my cheek, and soon countless amounts of snow began to fall..
However, even if it snows like this, it will not pile up..
Soon it will melt and flow as water.
Because that's how it is with the first snow..
It was then.
“Silver ball! Oh my gosh!”
Sama Hyeda.
“hmm? Hey Hye. What's happen?”
“I think you should come and see it soon..”
It looks like an emergency patient has arrived..
There are also patients who cannot be treated by Baeklin Uigak doctors alone..
Jin Tianxi immediately ran out to follow Sima Hui..
* * *
On the bed lay a young child with a rash all over his body, gasping for breath..
As soon as Jin Cheon-hee arrived, the council member said.
“This is mama (媽媽), i.e. smallpox (痘瘡)!”
Jin Cheonhee said calmly..
“Everyone cover your nose and mouth. what are you doing. Have you forgotten everything I taught you?!”
The lawmakers were startled by Jin Cheon-hee's words and covered their noses and mouths with cloth..
Smallpox is transmitted through the respiratory tract..
Of course, it is nothing compared to modern-day COVID-19, but the patient came in with a fresh rash, which is the most contagious..
Jin Cheon-hee also covered her nose and mouth and went inside..
“Ugh… … nice…….”
The child had no voice and could only make sounds similar to breathing..
The senator continued..
“The child's mother and father appear to have already died from smallpox. This child is also dangerous.”
smallpox.
It could be said to be humanity's worst infectious disease..
It is a disease that has caused at least a cumulative death of at least 1 billion people throughout history, and was eventually succeeded in eradicating it from modern Earth..
However, there is no cure here and no way to prevent the infection..
‘Fatality rate is 30%, respiratory transmission.’
Of course, it may be better than the Black Death, which kills people without any help, but in some ways, it is worse..
The Black Death causes those infected to die quickly..
So fast that you die before your immunity even kicks in..
If you look at past documents, there are records of people who held funerals for people who died from the Black Death and mourners dying the next day..
‘Smallpox has a fatality rate of 30%, but if you think about it the other way around, the survival rate is 70%..’
In other words, if you can increase your immunity, you can survive..
First of all, martial arts masters of the right faction have a high immunity, whether due to their inner strength or their health skills, so even if they get sick, they usually have a higher chance of getting better easily than the civilians..
Even Sapa-affiliated martial arts experts... … It's not as good as a health worker, but the survival rate is still high..
First of all, learning martial arts means that your basic physical strength is higher than that of an ordinary person, and you can consume sufficient nutrition because you do not have to worry about money..
Therefore, the chance of dying from a sword is much higher than that of dying from smallpox..
But Yang Min is different..
And the 70% of civilians who survived fight the disease and spread it to their surroundings..
That's what a virus is.
If the fatality rate is high, it is extremely dangerous, but on the contrary, the speed of spread slows down..
Conversely, if the fatality rate is low, fortunately, the speed of transmission increases..
The reason smallpox was more severe than the Black Death was because it took advantage of the golden ratio of mortality and spread..
Therefore, smallpox may have been plaguing humanity for a long time throughout human history, to the extent that it was discovered even in ancient Egyptian mummies..
‘Plus, the virus is terrible..’
That's why antibiotics don't work.
We need to use antiviral drugs, but we cannot make antiviral drugs with today's technology..
Even in modern times, smallpox has been eradicated, so there is no opportunity to use antiviral drugs. But the hypothesis that it will work is quite credible..
‘and… … damn…….’
In the end, I have to give her a decoction that boosts her immune system and use Qigong treatment to somehow hold on to her life until she gets better..
If you are unlucky, the clinic that performs Qigong treatment may also become infected..
‘But other than this, is there currently no other way?.’
Ultimately, is it symptomatic treatment?.
Lawmakers exposed to smallpox are also at risk at this time..
You need to prepare for that in advance too..
In the past, before going to medical service, I looked up various materials to see if it would be helpful..
According to the data I saw at the time, if a vaccine made using the cowpox method was injected 3 to 4 days after infection, the symptoms of smallpox were alleviated and the chance of cure increased..
‘but… … Anyway, this is also a probability.’
Still, I can't not do it. Shouldn’t we do something?.
‘Since there are no machines, it will have to be made using primitive methods..’
I have also studied cowpox law in the past..
‘I wrote it down in small print in my reference book when I was in high school..’
I remember watching it with interest because I wanted to become a doctor back then..
First, exposed lawmakers were quarantined separately and other lawmakers were immediately summoned..
“Everyone has probably already learned about the symptoms of smallpox. There is probably no one who does not know what kind of disease smallpox is, how it is infected, and what the treatment is..”
At that time, a member of the House of Representatives raised his hand..
“I learned that there is virtually no cure..”
“yes. you're right. Virtually none. At least… … A preventive measure is to collect pathogens from cows with cowpox and use them as vaccinations...”
Lawmakers were slightly agitated by the word vaccination..
‘Ugh… … That's right. This is a natural reaction.’
Even in modern times, there are all sorts of strange rumors floating around about vaccinations..
There are all kinds of conspiracy theories going around, such as Bill Gates simply implanting a chip and controlling it, that 5G can be received by the brain at this level, and that magnetic force is emitted from the body..
Among them, one of the most famous and widespread is the theory that 'vaccination is very dangerous, causes sperm decline, infertility, and shortens lifespan.'.
This is more plausible than the conspiracy theory above, so if you haven't studied the basics of vaccination principles, you might think, 'Huh? 'That could be so.' There are quite a few cases where I completely believe it..
Of course, if one had received proper public education, no one would seriously believe in this… … It seems like it but it is there.
Surprisingly it exists.
Of course, vaccination is not without side effects..
Fever and general fatigue caused by immune function are typical side effects..
That's the problem all medicine has.
However, if you consider the mortality rate of the disease for which you are vaccinated. And even if you live, you should get it considering the permanent aftereffects of the disease..
Even if you survive a disease like polio, there are many cases where you will have to live with hemiparalysis for the rest of your life..
‘If humans had great immunity, the average lifespan in the past wouldn't have been 30 years..’
However, in this world where there is no public education system at all,.
In this world where there is no concept of bacteria and viruses.
Vaccination is something you might think is crazy, and can be criticized as a vicious tactic..
‘okay. At first, everyone didn't like Busul..’
At least it was a disaster because there was a forcible propagator of destruction, a symbol of the lottery, and a bloody old monster..
‘If I were a king or an emperor, I would have forced them to do it..’
In an era when the concept of germs and hygiene are not fully understood yet..
There was even a method of pulverizing the boil tissue or pus scab of a person with smallpox and putting it into the nose..
Since this uses smallpox bacteria directly, people with weak immune systems can die from real smallpox..
In this situation, if you say that in order to prevent smallpox, you need to prick the pus from a cow with cowpox... … This is the second coming of misreading.
People in Odogmun also washed often and a lot..
Typhoid fever spread because unpurified water was used and there was no soap..
It's not a concept that doesn't exist at all, and it's more difficult because they already have their own way and have to kick it out and come up with a completely different way..
Edward Jenner, who discovered the cowpox method, also discovered the vaccine..
‘Does it make sense to put bacteria into the human body?!’
‘How to prevent disease by injecting it.’
‘Edward Jenner is plotting to rule England by turning people into cows. They say that if you get that vaccine, people will cry like a cow.!’
……We are faced with various conspiracy theories and opposition that will threaten medical personnel, etc..
‘I even thought about creating a pseudo-religion. 3 seconds.’
It's a cult where you wash your hands every day and get vaccinated against cowpox..
However, no matter how much I think about it, all I can think of is the ending where Gold Silver Wang Ya sends the imperial army to be subjugated..
‘Still, in terms of the game, I made quite an achievement in the powerhouse, but I guess it's not working anymore..’
It might have been possible in the past, but it might be possible now.?
just as expected.
Some council members seemed skeptical..
It's easy once you do it, but it's hard until you do it..
