Chapter 714 Ah! Tuberculosis!
It was already the end of December, and at the Beijing Medical School, Teacher Fan and the department head acted quickly. Both sides simply brought together the people from their respective organizations to hold a formal meeting. After all, the things they had in their hands were worthy of the standard.

The participants showed great interest in this material which did not even have a name.

How profound is the medical skill involved in this thing? No!
Any new medical technology? Very little!

Can it cure difficult and complicated diseases? It seems that it cannot be cured!

But everyone just held this thing and was very interested.

"This thing is good. It's good because it's ordinary, common, diverse and widespread!"

A doctor attending the meeting smiled and praised it highly.

Don't think that he is talking about the yin and yang of this information. Although generally speaking, the few comments he made have nothing to do with the word "good", but here, it is different.

"Yes, you are right. The beauty of this book is that the things mentioned in it are the most common and account for the highest proportion in various cases. And the judgment basis, treatment methods or disposal methods it provides are relatively the easiest to implement."

When anything is done to the extreme, it is no longer ordinary, and the same goes for "ordinary" itself.

"With this, anyone who is literate and has a certain learning ability can easily treat many common diseases. This is very meaningful at a time when there is a severe shortage of professional medical personnel."

Of course, it’s not all peaceful: “Will this lead to misdiagnosis?”

"Definitely. After all, being a doctor requires a lot of experience. The condition is complicated, and the correspondence between 'symptoms' and 'diseases' is not that simple. However, compared to the current situation, it should be said that if this set of information is available, the overall effect on medical work will be positive."

Different times, different conditions, and different criteria for judgment. In their view, "being helpless" is a much more serious situation than a certain misdiagnosis.

A doctor comrade laughed and said, "Even if a clinical student has completed three or four years of study and has just started working, won't he still make misdiagnoses? Hahaha. I think if we want to evaluate this, we can evaluate it from two aspects."

The first half of this sentence is rough, but the logic is sound.

Everyone nodded in agreement, but were waiting for him to say the second half of the sentence. It would be easy if there were evaluation criteria. Just see if your evaluation criteria were appropriate.

"There are two standards. The first one is actually mentioned by everyone, that is, this book is ordinary, but it is precisely this ordinariness that is its advantage. It is easy to use, which makes it easier for more people to get treatment. From this point of view, I am optimistic."

Most comrades agree with this. From this point of view, this ordinary document is very meaningful.

"The second point, in my opinion, is to evaluate whether it is trustworthy even though it is ordinary. In other words, is there any error in its content? As long as there is no problem with the content, it is essentially no different from other medical books. If it is replaced with other trustworthy medical books, wouldn't some people still become mediocre doctors after learning them? The problem is not with the book, but with the 'person'."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was suddenly enlightened!

Yes, don’t worry about so much. First, check whether there is any problem with the foundation of the book, that is, whether there are any fallacies in the content, right?

If the content is correct, then it is at least a qualified medical manual for common diseases, although it does not contain any profound content.

"Yes, yes, that makes sense. First of all, we need to see if it is correct. That is the truth. It seems that subconsciously, I am still influenced by the very simple content of this book and have forgotten this most basic thing."

"Yes, this matter is worth self-examination."

"That makes sense. Just check the content first and then you're done. Put everything else aside."

For Teacher Fan and Director Lan of Beijing Second Medical University, they invited these people over to determine whether the book was right or wrong. As for how to use it, that would be the next step.

These people are actually faculty members and doctors from their respective schools and hospitals. As for influencing the development of this thing, they don't have the ability to do so. This small-scale appraisal is not for this purpose, and their level is not high enough.

Seeing that everyone was happy for a long time and finally got on the right track, they were also very happy.

It is much more convenient to check whether the content is correct. There are doctors from various disciplines here, covering all categories of traditional Chinese and Western medicine.

If it was too advanced or brand new medical technology, it would be hard for them to determine whether it was right or wrong, but it just so happened that there was basically no such thing in this set of information.

It's not completely impossible. For example, the Heimlich maneuver is brand new, but its effectiveness has been proven. There is no problem. At least there is a probability of it being effective. Medical means only have probabilities and cannot be 100% guaranteed.

The doctors and teachers divided the work and each took the content of their respective profession and read it carefully.

It’s true that this set of materials is quite comprehensive, and basically all the comrades present at the scene have received a part of it.

Some are very fast, for example, the one who is responsible for the chapter "Common Chinese Herbal Medicines" is very fast. Although, logically speaking, his part has a lot of content, and the illustrations of Chinese herbal medicines have to be compared one by one, some of them may not even be able to remember all of them in their haste.

However, there is a point in this set of materials about Chinese herbal medicine that is very helpful for them to identify.

That is, these things all have their origins, and they are very clear.

In each entry, Lou Xiao'e was very considerate in noting where it came from, and the most common source was naturally the Compendium of Materia Medica. With this, the comrades in charge of this part would feel very comfortable. They only need to check if there is a source. If there is a source, there is a high probability that there is no problem with this thing. It is nothing more than a comparison when carrying out the next step of work, but it has no effect on the general direction of whether the content is correct or not.

As for the Chinese herbal medicine part, all of them have their sources.

Soon, he raised his hand: "There is no problem with the common Chinese herbal medicine part."

Seeing how swiftly he moved, other comrades also sped up.

It’s not that they are slow, it’s mainly because many other things have no source, because many methods are universal, and it’s impossible to write the source.

Moreover, mixed in here is some knowledge that was not available until ten or twenty years later, so they still need to read this part carefully.

After a closer look, they even discovered a new world.

"Eh? This disease can be diagnosed through this indication? I've never heard of it before. If so, there is a new method for diagnosing this common disease, and it's quite simple and easy."

"Ah? This medicine can cure this? We need to study it carefully. Apart from this one, there are other treatments for this disease."

"This disease can be treated this way? Um... yes!"

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

There are many similar situations. In the process of careful reading, everyone has discovered something new. Although the number is not large, at least everyone has the feeling of learning new knowledge or finding a new direction.

This will make it even slower.

But Teacher Fan and Director Lan are not in a hurry, just take your time.

Finally, another comrade finished reading his professional part and looked up.

"This thing must have been created by some great master, right? Even though it doesn't look very profound, the selection of symptoms and methods is really tricky, even exquisite. It's impossible for someone who is not a great master to do this."

Another comrade who was still reading a book also agreed: "Well, this is specially prepared for the poor. This alone is amazing." Ordinary minor illnesses can cause serious consequences for the poor. Being able to solve these "minor illnesses" is already a meritorious thing.

As for serious illnesses... in today's environment, there isn't much difference between being rich or poor.

Hey, you guys finally got the gist of it! This is the most important part of this thing.

Fan and Lan, who had already read through the material, were delighted.

"You're wrong. This stuff was collected and sorted by a young person in her twenties and her lover. There are some new things in it, but it's mainly collection and sorting."

Huh? This statement shocked everyone at work.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" someone even shouted out loud.

"Yes, even though the content of this book seems simple, it takes decades of practice to master it."

"Not necessarily. What if there is a genius?"

The 17th Ministry of Machine Building, the 12th Ministry of Machine Building, the Defense Work Committee and several other ministries and commissions: Well, you are right, and his wife's performance is a little worse than his.

Just as everyone was discussing, a comrade suddenly shouted.

"Tuberculosis! There is actually a treatment for tuberculosis, and it is more effective than the current regimen of streptomycin, isoniazid, and sodium para-aminosalicylate! It works faster! The standard regimen may even completely cure it in just 6 months?"

The noise he made could even be called a scream.

Everyone stood up at once. What? Tuberculosis? A chance of being cured in 6 months?

Before many diseases were clearly understood, tuberculosis, as the most common incurable disease, had been prevalent for many years. Whether among the general public or the medical community, whether in China or the West, there was a long time when people were helpless or had few ways to deal with it.

In our country, it has a very famous name - tuberculosis.

In those days, the most extreme way to describe someone's poor physical condition was to say "this person looks like a consumptive patient."

Although the six-month treatment course seems long, in fact, even in the 6st century when tuberculosis can be cured, this is one of the standard plans. As for the new four-month treatment plan, it was still being promoted until Gao Zhendong traveled through time.

In the 60s, we had a program to treat tuberculosis, but in any case, there was still a gap compared with the standard program of the WHO after the 80s.
