Chapter 127 fight to the death

After many sleepless days and nights, Wang Mengying wrote the book "Suixiju Rebooking Cholera Theory" that we see now. In the book, Wang Mengying puts forward many theories that are the same as modern epidemic prevention concepts. For example, he puts forward the importance of prevention, and believes that the pollution of water sources and air is the main factor leading to the epidemic of cholera. , the water is filthy and filthy", must "the lakes and pools are wide and the water is clear, the wells and springs are many and sweet", and the rivers should be "dredged so that no pollution is accumulated, or the wells and springs are drilled widely so that the drinking is not turbid", and proposed To put medicine in the water, the concept of disinfection.

He also put forward the concept of pre-epidemic prevention such as ventilation of houses and improvement of living conditions. These measures are definitely the most important conditions for preventing cholera, and it was impossible for the Qing government at that time to do so. Therefore, doctors such as Wang Mengying could only retreat to adopt their own diagnosis and treatment methods to save lives from the hands of death. After the founding of New China, cholera broke out worldwide in the 1960s. It approached southern my country twice in 1961 and 1963, but failed to enter because of the effective epidemic prevention measures of the new Chinese government.

But at that time, doctors like Wang Mengying did not have the support of the government. They could only rely on their own beliefs to save lives alone. At that time, the risk of doctors was very high. For example, Wang Mengying recorded a doctor named Yu Xiaopo, who was a Jinshi and good at medicine. After eating a small cup of lotus seeds, he began to feel unwell, and immediately had vomiting, diarrhea, and muscle cramps. Immediately, someone came to find Wang Mengying. Before Wang Mengying arrived, he passed away. It kills so fast. Wang Mengying is not ignorant of this, but after he finished writing the book, he let go of his hands and feet and treated more patients.

Everyone asked, what happened to Wang Mengying?Don't die? His family is also very worried. Once you have troubles, how will the remaining orphans and widows live? However, Wang Mengying can no longer think so much. In his eyes, he only thinks about how to reduce the number of more than a thousand people who die every day. The battle against cholera had the same death rate as fighting on the battlefield, because at that time there were no good protection measures for doctors. However, just like a real warrior, Wang Mengying swung his sword forward without hesitation. Even though he knew that the enemy's soldiers were thousands of times stronger than his own, he was not afraid and resolutely threw himself into the hand-to-hand battle.

From then on, Wang Mengying disappeared from the literature records. So far, the field of medical history literature is still debating when and how did Wang Mengying die? Some people said that he was infected with cholera at the age of 61 and died, while others said that he lived to be more than 80 years old. However, there is no definitive documentary evidence for either. From an emotional point of view, I would rather believe in the latter, and believe that Wang Mengying and his wife will grow old together safely and enjoy the joy of life. However, from a rational analysis, I believe in the former, because at Wang Mengying's creative speed, if he lives to be over eighty years old, he can still write more than a dozen medical case books.

"The general dies in a hundred battles", I think, for a real soldier, the most honorable way to die is to die on the battlefield. Let us use our imagination to reproduce the scene of Wang Mengying leaving home for the last time. It was early in the morning, and the mist had not cleared. Wang Mengying was awakened by the rapid knock on the door. After he put on his clothes, he was about to go out with the patient's family members. Wang Mengying's wife sent him outside the door and tucked away his blue coat. Wang Mengying stared at his wife's face, and looked intently, as if to say: In this life, you have worked hard!

Then he turned around resolutely and walked towards the mist. In the mist, the hideous faces of countless gods of death are vaguely revealed. Wang Mengying was fearless, her thin body stood straight, and strode away... Wang Shixiong, courtesy name Mengying, was frail and poor since he was a child, but with his own beliefs, he choked the throat of fate and eventually became a generation of febrile disease masters, making great contributions to the final formation of TCM theories. He saved countless lives in his life, but he himself was impoverished. When people saw him talking and laughing happily and thundering in the medical records, few people knew that he was starving and eating chaff behind his back.When the plague came, he single-handedly declared war on cholera, the most vicious disease in the world, and saved countless lives from the disease.If you are a doctor, you will have no regrets in your life!
