I'm the Dauphin in France

Chapter 713: Royal Military Medical University of France

Unlike the 21st century, where drug-resistant strains are rampant due to the overuse of antibiotics, the germs of this era have not been "trained", so penicillin treatment is very effective.

Just four hours after the injection, Camelia's high fever was initially relieved.

Just after five o'clock, Dr. Lamarck brought the freshly purified glucose - a small bottle of less than 70 grams, with a concentration of 7.3%.

At that time, there was no technology to produce glucose from starch, and the purification technology was not perfect. It took more than ten kilograms of raisins to make such a small amount of glucose, and the cost was as high as more than 200 francs.

Lamarck sucked the glucose solution into the syringe, then pierced the blood vessel in Camelia's arm and began to push it slowly.

Yes, the crown prince had specifically instructed that the glucose injection speed should not be too fast. And at that time there was no drip equipment, so it could only be injected slowly by hand.

Fortunately, Dr. Lamarck's hands were steady, and it took him 10 minutes to inject all the medicine into Camelia's body.

When the needle was pulled out, the latter regained consciousness almost instantly and asked Perna to help her sit up.

Joseph looked at her pale little face and asked with concern: "How do you feel? Are you feeling better?"

The maid nodded, her voice not as weak as before: "Thank you, Your Highness, I don't think I feel as bad as before."

Lamarck and his assistants looked at each other, with shock in their eyes.

They were all experienced doctors and could easily see how weak Camelia was.

According to their estimates, even if the "Type 1 antibiotic" takes effect, it will take at least five or six days for the rabbits to recover their strength, just like the rabbits in the previous experiment.

The most pessimistic doctor even thought that she would not be able to get out of bed for more than half a month.

However, the magical glucose worked like magic and quickly made her feel refreshed.

Lamarck came close to Joseph and whispered, "Your Highness, does glucose have a similar drug mechanism to opium tincture?"

Opium tincture is an extract of poppy, which can indeed make people feel energetic quickly.

Joseph laughed and shook his head: "No, no, you misunderstood. Glucose is an energy substance.

"The food we eat is eventually converted into glucose in the body, and anything we do, even just lying down and thinking, consumes this energy.

"When we give Camelia an infusion of glucose, it's like she's having a full meal and digesting it thoroughly, allowing her to quickly recover her strength."

"Wait, Your Highness, could you please say it again?" Lamarck took out his notebook and began to record it very carefully.

Several of his assistants were doing the same thing.

It’s no wonder they are so excited. If this amazing theory is proven to be correct, it will definitely win the next Louis Prize in Medicine!

"Of course." Joseph nodded, and then told Lamarck everything he knew about glucose, and also talked about injecting saline solution to replenish electrolytes in the human body.

Lamarck looked at the notes in his hand and said loudly and excitedly: "Your Highness, according to what you said, we can survive without eating or drinking, and inject glucose and saline every day.

"Human life forms will change because of this!"

He did not even ask how His Royal Highness knew these things. He was used to His Royal Highness giving him some "surprises" from time to time. It must be a revelation from God. Joseph shook his head and said, "That won't work. In order to survive, in addition to the most basic energy, water and electrolytes, we also need a wide variety of vitamins and trace elements. And these substances must be obtained from various foods."

Lamarck stared at Joseph with his eyes wide open, and murmured, "Vitamins... trace elements... essential substances for survival..."

Joseph suddenly felt that he had gone off topic, and he coughed dryly and said, "Well, I can tell you about these things slowly while you are developing the 'Type 1 Antibiotic'."

He looked at the sky outside the window and signaled to Camelia: "This is not a suitable place for a patient to rest. I have to take her back to the Palace of Versailles."

"Okay, Your Highness." Lamarck nodded somewhat disappointedly, and then asked, "Well, I want to write a paper on glucose and electrolytes. Oh, it will definitely not delay the research and development here. Do you think it's okay?"

"Of course." Joseph said, "Please send someone to deliver the medicine and glucose that Camelia needs to the Palace of Versailles tomorrow morning."

"I'll deliver it myself." Lamarck obviously wanted to "get some knowledge" about vitamins, but he still defended himself, "Injecting medicine requires certain skills, and I'm worried that others won't be able to do it."

"Okay, thank you for your help then."

On the way back to Versailles.

Perna sat in the carriage, looking down and thinking about something.

Joseph thought she had something on her mind and was about to ask, when she suddenly looked up with excitement in her eyes: “Your Highness, I think the injection of glucose and saline can play a very important role in treating the wounded.

“Many soldiers were unable to eat due to coma or being too weak, causing their bodies to gradually collapse.

"If the logistics supplies can bring glucose and saline, it will greatly reduce the mortality rate of the wounded!"

She is worthy of being the pioneer of the French field hospital, always thinking about the wounded soldiers.

Joseph nodded in agreement. "You are right. But this requires a new syringe manufacturing plant. As for glucose, it can be produced in the Paris Pharmaceutical Factory."

Perna continued: "Your Highness, syringes can be produced in mask factories. There are many skilled workers there."

The mask factory that Joseph originally invested in has always been managed by Perna. Now it has developed into a large factory with a monthly output of 6 masks and has good profitability.

Joseph nodded: "That's fine. I'll ask the craftsman who made the syringe today to help you."

Perna took his arm, rested her head on his shoulder, and said softly: "Thank God for letting me meet you. Only when I am with you, my life becomes so meaningful."

Joseph stroked her hair and said, "You are also the most unique scenery in my life."

The two of them were affectionate for a while, and Perna remembered something again: "By the way, Your Highness, my father mentioned before that injecting medicine requires superb skills. Even I can't easily insert a needle into a vein.

“So, I think we need to provide special training to military doctors and nurses in field hospitals.”

Joseph patted the back of her hand and said, "Why not build a military medical university? Soldiers need the best treatment technology.

"I'll have Brian transfer the funds.

"The Royal Military Medical College of France, and you will be the president."
