A doctor who travels through two eras

In the 1960s, there were no such common things as plastic bags and plastic washbasins. Dacron was considered a high-end fabric. Where could one find this raw material?
Moreover, meltblown non-woven fabrics are not woven by ordinary textile machines, but require the use of meltblown non-woven fabric machines, non-woven fabric granulators, meltblown fabric granulators, etc.

This machine is a black technology of later generations. Not to mention that it could not be made in the 1960s, even if Lin Sanqi bought it, no one would be able to use it.

Thinking of this, Lin Sanqi felt that it was extremely difficult for a country to establish a modern industrial system. Basic education alone would take a generation.

Deputy Minister Zhang saw that Lin Sanqi was in a daze, so he urged:
"Comrade Sanqi, what did you think of?"

Lin Sanqi reacted and thought that he would talk about it later, so he quickly explained:

"Oh, let's not talk about meltblown non-woven fabrics, let's continue talking about masks. We are an infectious disease hospital, and most infectious diseases are transmitted through the air, so all kinds of bacteria and viruses are floating in the air.

We wear masks to prevent the inhalation of these germs. From the perspective of infectious diseases, this is called cutting off the transmission route. We are all in the health system and understand this principle, but it is definitely not enough to rely on the cotton gauze masks in your hands.

We have done a study and found that this type of cotton gauze mask can only block 36% of germs. If it is a stronger coronavirus, the blocking rate is almost 0%. Therefore, ordinary hospitals can continue to use it, but it is not suitable for infectious disease hospitals.

However, my medical protective mask can protect against 95% of bacteria and viruses, which can ensure the health and safety of every medical staff member and prevent cross-infection in the hospital."

After Lin Sanqi said this, the officials from the Ministry of Health looked at the masks in their hands curiously and then put them on.

Minister Li just put on the mask and took it off quickly:
"Oh my god, this mask is not breathable, why is it so stuffy?"

Lin Sanqi wondered if this mask wouldn't be stuffy. During the SARS outbreak, doctors not only had to wear N95 masks, but also a surgical mask on top. They had to wear two layers of masks all day, without eating or drinking.

According to regulations, the protective effect of the N6 mask will be weakened if worn after this time.

However, there was a severe shortage of protective masks in the country at the time, and medical staff had to wear them all day long. In the end, many doctors and nurses were infected and died as a result.

Soldiers and police officers can be buried in the Martyrs' Cemetery after their death, but when these doctors and nurses die, almost no one remembers them.

At Lin Sanqi's strong request, several ministers put on masks again, which made it difficult for these old men and women.

After entering the hospital, I saw a large group of patients waiting for their turn in the open air. The city of Peking was still very cold in March, and many patients were shivering from the cold.

Minister Li frowned a little after seeing this: "Comrade Sanqi, it's not a good idea to let the patient wait in the open air. It's so cold here."

Lin Sanqi was also a little helpless:

"My dear Minister, I didn't take a penny from my superiors to open this hospital. I even borrowed the money from the Chinese Medicine Hospital for the opening. How can I take care of everything? Since your leaders are here, I won't let you come in vain. I decided to complain.

Leaders, you see, our outpatient rooms are sufficient for now, but our inpatient wards are far from enough. I originally planned to open 300 beds, but believe it or not, if I did not impose any restrictions, these 300 beds would be full today.

What about the patients who come tomorrow? Will the seriously ill patients who come the day after tomorrow be treated? Look at the queues outside the hospital. There are tens of millions of tuberculosis patients in the country, but only one hospital with 300 beds. It’s too few.”

Minister Li nodded heavily: "Not only are 300 beds too few, but your 750 outpatient appointments a day are not enough."

Lin Sanqi smiled bitterly and said:

"It's not just that there are not enough beds. All 750 patients need to have blood tests and sputum culture. I have 'borrowed' three X-ray machines, and a total of five machines have started working. One machine takes nearly 3 films a day, and the machines are almost running out of steam."

Minister Li also had a headache and frowned:
"Comrade Sanqi, you are right. It seems that the scale of the hospital we planned at the beginning was too small and could not meet the needs of patients. But you also know that the department does not have much funding now..."

Lin Sanqi thought to himself, I don’t expect anything from you. Anyway, there is never enough money to do serious work at home. If we support Albania, we will have enough money.

"Minister, I don't want money, I just want the land. You see, after the explosion of the artillery factory, the north and west sides of the Dongyue Temple are empty. Why don't you help us negotiate and let our infectious disease hospital take over these two plots of land?"

Minister Li's eyes lit up:
"Is that all you ask for? I can do it. I'll go to the Beiping Municipal Government to ask for the land. Anyway, it doesn't involve demolition. If I can't get the land, I'll quit my job as minister." No matter how big the Dongyue Temple is, it is only a temple with 300 beds, which means 60 wards. This is already the limit of the temple.

But if we take over the abandoned artillery factory next door, we will have an extra 200 acres of land, and adding another 2000 beds will be a piece of cake.

Deputy Minister Zhang also laughed and said:
"The spread is indeed imminent. In addition, the hospital is expanding, so you need more doctors, nurses, and inspectors. How about this, Comrade Sanqi? If you promise to solve the food problem, I will make the decision and give you all the college and technical secondary school students who graduate this year."

BJ Medical College, Union Medical College, BJ Pharmacy School, Capital Medical College, BJ Health School and other colleges and universities.

Although there are not many graduates in this school, there are definitely about five or six hundred people, and they are all majoring in Western medicine.

When this group of people entered school, our economy was booming. However, as soon as they entered school, they faced three years of natural disasters and the country implemented a policy of population reduction.

Government agencies, factories and enterprises must lay off all employees and send them back to their hometowns. Colleges and universities also have tasks to fulfill. Not only will a part of the teachers be laid off, but a considerable part of the students will also be laid off.

This is also very cruel to young people. Who among those who can go to college at that time is not the darling of the village? They just go back to their hometown to farm in disgrace. Many people have a mental breakdown and become crazy.

Deputy Minister Zhang’s proposal sounds like it is for the benefit of the infectious disease hospital, but the fundamental reason is that Deputy Minister Zhang wants to get rid of the burden.

Lin Sanqi's eyes lit up when he thought about it. It was just a matter of paying for food rations. It was a piece of cake for him, but these college students and technical secondary school students were rare treasures these days.

Other hospitals didn’t want it, but he did!

"Okay, Deputy Minister Zhang, let's make a deal. I'll take as many college students as you have. They will graduate in less than half a year. Let them all come to our infectious disease hospital for internship.

When the internship is over and the hospital expansion is completed, we will directly let these college students and technical secondary school students start work. As for their food, I will take care of it. I still say that we will be responsible for our own profits and losses and will not ask the government for a penny. "

Vice Minister Zhang high-fived:

"Okay, Comrade Sanqi is a straightforward person, don't worry, I will go to all the major medical schools to inform them to come to the Infectious Disease Hospital for internship next week. But..."

Lin Sanqi blinked and said, "But can you help solve the food problem during the internship? Comrade Sanqi, these college students are so hungry. I feel sorry for them."

As the saying goes, the young boys can eat their father into poverty. This group of young people in their twenties are the best at eating.

Although college students receive government subsidies, because universities do not generate economic benefits, under the premise of food shortage in the entire country, the food supply of workers must be guaranteed first, and then the students.

So nowadays college students are so hungry that their eyes are bulging. Not to mention attending classes, they don’t even have the energy or mood to fall in love.

Lin Sanqi had already witnessed this when he visited Pan Ye’s alma mater last year.

"Okay, since Vice Minister Zhang has spoken, I will take care of the food for these students for the next six months. However, we don't have accommodation facilities here, so the students will still live in the school dormitories. Starting next week, my colleagues and I will take turns going to various colleges and universities to provide them with specialized training on tuberculosis."

“Okay~~~”

Minister Li and Vice Minister Zhang were extremely delighted. They did not expect to have such an unexpected gain today.

At the same time, in the distant United States, at the Institute of Epidemiology at Harvard Medical School.

Professor Anthony Stephen looked at the clinical trial data in his hands and listened to the reports of his subordinate doctors, grabbing his hair in worry.

"Professor, we use the triple combination of anezolizumab + streptomycin + ganciclovir to treat tuberculosis. After three years of clinical trials, 32 patients, the final data showed that the cure rate was %, which did not meet expectations, and the side effects were very serious.

We found that Anezolid has a serious lactic acidosis reaction, and the number of cases of coma after long-term use has reached 14%, and the mortality rate is as high as 4.4%. Although we can modify the data and put it on the market, I am afraid that once it is exposed, we will face serious accusations. " (End of this chapter)
