Transmigrator's Guide to Conquering Another World

Chapter 373: Tien Fern (Part 2)


As a top special forces soldier.

Lin Ziming naturally learned some medical skills.

After all, when performing tasks in the field, you can't always have the perfect 25-degree temperature.

Ice and snow, deserts, and gobi are the norm.

Therefore, every special warrior has a bit of various tech trees.

These medical skills include both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, and the practical level may not necessarily be comparable to an ordinary outpatient doctor.

But they have considerable judgment in terms of acute symptoms.

Therefore, through Red Dragon's description,

Three possibilities instinctively appeared in Lin Ziming's mind:

Diarrhea, colon cancer, dysentery.

And as Red Dragon said.

Tian Jue is a commonly high mortality disease behind the entire Celestial Moon Mountain Range, so he quickly ruled out the first two possibilities.

Thus, the answer was left with only one:

Dysentery.

When it comes to dysentery, the first point to mention.

Is that dysentery and malaria are not the same, many people tend to confuse them.

Malaria is a mosquito-borne disease, although it also comes with diarrhea, it generally doesn't present symptoms of pus and blood.

Dysentery is even more terrifying than malaria.

In ancient times and even in some underdeveloped areas today, dysentery is an infectious disease at the level of infant night cries, deadly upon contact.

For example, Chen Lin, who cured Cao Cao's headache, and the renowned Su Shi, both died of dysentery.

There is even one historical event that hasn't been verified by historians but matches the timeline well, which is the renowned Three Kingdoms Great Plague.

At that time, including Chen Lin, five of the Jian An Seven Scholars were wiped out, followed by Lu Su and others.

Although except for Chen Lin, who was recorded dying of dysentery, the historical records for others' deaths are described as 'great epidemic of that year'.

But looking at the timeline, the possibility of dysentery is actually very high.

Besides domestically, not to mention the West.

Countless Western ancient kings died of diseases like dysentery, leading to the collapse of already short reigns.

In the histories of many civilizations.

Only post-Christian era Huaxia and Egypt explicitly had treatment methods for dysentery.

The credit in Huaxia belongs without a doubt.

80% of the cures for ancient diseases are thanks to Zhang Zhongjing's "Treatise on Cold Damage and Miscellaneous Diseases".

The remedy Zhang Zhongjing summed up is Bai Tou Weng Tang, proven by modern medicine to have significant effects against amoebic pathogens and trichomonas. (Attached DOI: 10.2991/mebe-15.2015.179, University of Copenhagen Medical Laboratory Report)

Bacterial dysentery falls under the category of amoebic dysentery.

Aside from Huaxia.

Egypt's methods are more physical:

Isn't dysentery occurring in the intestines? Then we wash the intestines.

Like killing all the enemies being counted as stealth.

If you clear everything from your intestines, naturally there would be no bacteria.

Egyptian physicians would have patients drink a concoction mainly from dried coriander fruit powder, to relax cramps and cleanse the intestines.

The enema agent used was made by mixing honey, fermented adhesive, sweet beer, and salt.

The tool used was something similar to a copper horn, with the thinner end shaped like a bird's beak.

The subsequent scenes are indescribable, everyone can imagine for themselves.

However, none of the methods above are 100% effective for dysentery.

According to historical records, the actual success rate is around 60%.

Sometimes even lower.

But even this proportion was an unimaginable miracle in ancient times.

Returning to the tent.

Upon hearing Lin Ziming's soft murmurs—for the loud-voiced primitive people it was indeed a soft murmur, Red Dragon was immediately drawn to it:

"What's up, Steward Lin, you know about Tian Jue too?

If I'm not mistaken, Tian Jue is rare in the central domain, right?"

Lin Ziming smiled at him and said:

"Commander Red Dragon, you are mistaken.

Your side might not be aware that my descendants in Chixian City have been practicing medicine for generations, with all kinds of difficult and rare cases recorded, called the "Barefoot Doctor's Handbook".

From a pathological perspective.

Tian Jue seems to be something we are familiar with, and we already have a highly effective and not too ex... cough, a not very expensive treatment method for this disease."

Red Dragon's eyes immediately widened:

"Really? The central domain can use ordinary means to cure Tian Jue?"

Seeing Red Dragon a bit excited, Lin Ziming thought carefully and added:

If Tian Jue is dysentery, then it's certainly no problem.

However, our specialist physicians need to have a look at this brother's condition for a final conclusion.

Upon hearing this, Red Dragon couldn't help but anxiously ask:

"Steward Lin, may I ask if the physician you mentioned is available now? Could he come over?"

Whether it was Master Tian's translation issue or Red Dragon's own attitude change, Red Dragon's title unusually changed to 'you' this time.

Seeing Red Dragon somewhat agitated, Lin Ziming quickly consoled him:

"Commander Red Dragon, don't worry, leave this to me.

If nothing goes wrong, the physician will arrive soon."

After saying this, Lin Ziming hurriedly bid farewell and returned to Chixian City.

Half an hour later.

He returned with the medical staff prepped by the command center through recorders.

This time the person carrying out the inspection task was Bao Xin, the director of Modu First People's Hospital, also one of the important people who first arrived at the Damo Realm with the team.

However, due to certain irresistible reasons, some of Bao Xin's research projects were relatively low-profile.

So in the past period, his presence wasn't very strong.

However, presence and ability are two different things.

Although Bao Xin isn't at the level of an academician, he is at least the head of the Modu Health Expert Team, even considered an "Imperial Physician".

Therefore his skill level is needless to say.

In a certain sense.

The barbarian who fell ill could be considered rather fortunate, having managed to secure a rare expert number.

Of course.

The fortunate precondition is that he himself didn't fall first.

.........

Upon arriving at the camp.

Bao Xin, wearing protective gear, first led the team to handle the site, and soon the scent of 84 disinfectant filled the surroundings of the tent.

Once everything was ready.

Bao Xin, with a 'this tm is the central domain's style?' face, along with Red Dragon and Shi Yin entered the tent.

Lin Ziming and Wang Qiang stayed outside the tent to wait.

After all, experts have their specialization, and their presence inside would have no use other than taking up space.

With nothing to do, these two simply pulled out their phones and started playing Sudoku on the camp's local network.

After about two hours, finally there was movement from inside the tent.

Only to see Bao Xin emerge alone, his face and neck visibly marked by pressure lines from the mask.

Bao Xin, indifferent to these, smiled and said to Lin Ziming:

"Colonel Lin, mission accomplished, the patient inside named Gu Tong indeed has dysentery.

Specifically categorized as bacterial dysentery, also known as shigellosis.

However, his symptoms were already at a critical level, close to shock and dementia.

Therefore, we performed a significant surgery on him, and administered fluid replenishment salts and levofloxacin, we just need to wait for recovery."
