The days when I was an obstetrician and gynecologist in Chang'an

Chapter 968: First, control the source of infection! Second, cut off the transmission route! Third, protect the susceptible population!

Kang Ada, dead!

He vomited blood and died outside Yumen Pass!

When the Sogdians around saw Kang Ada lying motionless on the ground, they all roared in fear.

Some people were so scared that they knelt down, stretched out their hands and made prayer gestures towards the sky, mumbling something in their mouths.

Li Sanniang was stunned for a moment, then she immediately stepped forward and pulled Junior Brother Shaoyang up, then shouted to Qiuxiang, "Water! Water! Where are our water bags?"

Qiuxiang took all their water bags from the horses parked nearby.

Li Sanniang stepped forward and directly stripped off Junior Brother Shaoyang's clothes, leaving a lot of blood splattered on his front!
Then he pulled out the cork and signaled Junior Brother Shaoyang to use the water to wash his hands.

At this time, Gong Xiangwu also ran over, and he naturally saw the corpse on the ground.

Li Sanniang turned her head to look at the group of people, thinking about the cold numbers on the textbook before she traveled through time. Her heart, which had already sunk to the bottom of the valley, sank even further.

Before Li Sanniang traveled through time, the plague had been basically eradicated in mainland China, except for sporadic reported cases in farming and pastoral areas.

That was all thanks to the extensive rat and flea eradication campaign at the time, which brought the highly contagious disease, plague, under control.

Of course, it is also thanks to the widespread use of antibiotics and a strong public health system that the plague can be controlled to sporadic occurrences in a small area and the mortality rate can be reduced, preventing this infectious disease from spreading on a large scale!
But that was in modern society, with antibiotics, political leadership, and regulations!

But as written in the textbooks, the London plague in the Middle Ages lasted intermittently for more than 300 years, directly reducing the population of a country by at least one third or even more than half!

It can be said that this plague has the power to destroy a country!
So, how could Li Sanniang not be afraid at this time?
How could her heart not sink?

If things go wrong, no one outside Yumen Pass will survive!
It is even possible that the people in these states will die one after another!

So, how to prevent and control such infectious diseases?
The three things that were engraved in Li Sanniang's mind were:
First, control the source of infection!

Second, cut off the transmission route!

Third, protect vulnerable groups!
In other words, first, kill rats and fleas; burn their bodies! People who are already sick must be strictly isolated!

Second, in the quarantine area, comprehensive disinfection and pest control are required! Doctors and other rescuers must take good protection! People, livestock and vehicles passing through the checkpoints must be thoroughly controlled!

Third, people who are sure they are not sick must stay away from this checkpoint! They must also take precautions, just in case!

In fact, it is to eliminate the source: eliminate the animal hosts and fleas of the plague;
Second, breaking the chain: blocking the transmission from animals to humans and humans to humans;
Three measures to protect people: a combination of protection and drug treatment.

There is no other way except these three points!
Therefore, Li Sanniang turned around and shouted to Gong Xiangwu, who was staring at Kang Ada's body on the ground, "General Gong, this disease is vicious!

It is necessary to quarantine all the people in this caravan immediately!

Anyone who has had contact with Kang Ada must be kept under surveillance!

If anyone disobeys, General!

Then we have to resort to surgery!"

Li Shiyue pointed at the clothes stained with Kang Ada's blood that she had thrown on the ground and said, "General, these blood-stained clothes and Kang Ada's body must be dug and burned in an uninhabited place as soon as possible!
It must be burned cleanly! Otherwise, if it is eaten by other rats or animals in the desert, there is a risk of the disease spreading!"

The Han people and soldiers around all heard clearly what Li Sanniang said to Gong Xiangwu!
An Yan, the manager of the caravan, and An Randian, the leader of the Sogdian caravan, both of whom could understand Chinese, were now so weak in the knees that they could not stand!
They never thought that this disease could be so serious!
As they were on the road, they naturally noticed that something was wrong with Kang Ada’s appearance;
But at that time they had just come to Yumen Pass after a long journey through the desert, and they had been doing business all year round, so it was common for them to get sick on the road;

Who would have thought that this was not an ordinary disease, but an epidemic!

Because An Yan had a Han father, although his father did not give him a Han surname and let him take his mother's surname, his father personally taught him to speak Chinese.

Therefore, An Yan was the one who spoke the best Chinese in the caravan.

Therefore, he could naturally understand Chinese.

Even though Li Sanniang and Gong Xiangwu spoke very quickly, An Yan still understood what they said.

At this time, he knelt on the ground, staring at Kang Ada's dead body, and suddenly shouted: "It's Kang Ada, he loves meat!

We had finished eating all the dried meat on the way, and he was greedy, so he went to hunt gerbils to eat!
It's the gerbil!

That gerbil is poisonous!"

Following An Yan's words, An Randian naturally thought of the time when Kang Ada went to catch gerbils to eat by himself when they were resting on the road.

When he thought about eating gerbils, An Randian looked at the man who was kneeling on the ground not far away, with his palms facing up, praying to the sky.

This man was the one who shared the gerbil with Kang Ada at that time!
Kang Ada, who ate the gerbil, has died. So, will this man who also ate the gerbil also die?
This person just doesn't resist nagging!

An Randian was thinking this in his heart, but before he could say anything, he saw the man suddenly shivering. After just a breath or two, the man fell to the ground and twitched!
Li Sanniang immediately stepped forward, pulled out her gold needle bag from her waist, picked up a gold needle as thin as a hair, and inserted it into the Linggu acupoint (an acupoint I made up) of the person twitching on the ground.

After turning the golden needle, within three or two breaths, the person under the needle stopped twitching and stabilized.

Li Sanniang, who was kneeling on the ground giving acupuncture, turned to the stunned Gong Xiangwu and shouted, "General, please help me!"

Gong Xiangwu finally reacted, responded, bowed to Li Sanniang, turned around and began to command the soldiers beside him!

The Tang army armed with swords is an existence that no foreigner passing through the border dares to provoke!
The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty is by no means a moon in the water or a flower in the mirror!
No one dared to disobey the command of the Tang army. Even if they were afraid or terrified, they all supported each other tremblingly and entered the isolation area prepared for them as ordered by the Tang army soldiers.

Soldiers with bandaged hands and faces had already come over with a stretcher to carry away Kang Ada's body.

Oh, Senior Brother Shaoyang’s coat stained with the blood vomited by Kang Ada was also taken away!

All that was left on the sand was the bloodstain that had turned black and red.

Li Sanniang called the soldiers over and asked them to light a fire on the bloodstains. She told them, "Don't burn it until it's all gone. Then dig out the sand and throw it into the pit where you burned the bodies!"
