This doctor’s surname is Cui. He was also arranged to go to the gathering place to treat the refugees a few days ago.
He knew that if what the young man in front of him said was confirmed, then he, a doctor of medicine, had been to a refugee gathering place.
His Majesty will definitely be held accountable, so the main purpose of Dr. Cui's words is to let His Majesty know that wind chill is not an incurable disease.
I believe that in this way, His Majesty will not hold him accountable for not reporting the matter.
After listening to Dr. Cui's words, Li Shimin and others frowned, thought for a moment, and felt that Qin Ming might be making a fuss out of a molehill.
It may also be that he has lived in the countryside since he was a child, and there are no good doctors there. He has seen people die from cold and cough.
It made him feel that this disease was not easy to cure. Thinking of this, Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed that what he thought was right, Qin Ming did not understand medical skills. Although he had some talents in certain things, the field of medical skills was not what he was good at.
Now that he was sure everything was fine, he couldn't help but secretly laugh. It seemed that both himself and Guanyin had been misled by Qin Ming's performance these days.
Subconsciously, I admired this young man.
Just when Li Shimin was about to speak out and reveal this topic.
Qin Ming's sneer made Li Shimin temporarily take back what he was about to say.
When the others heard the laughter, they also looked at Qin Ming again, wanting to see if this young man had anything else to say.
Qin Ming was not affected by everyone's surprised looks. He stared sharply at the doctor and asked:
"Okay, then since you admit that cold and cough are contagious."
"Then let me ask you, if half of the people in all the refugee gathering places are infected and have colds and coughs, how many doctors and medicinal materials are needed to cure these refugees?"
"Nowadays, many refugees not only work in the gathering areas, but also come to work in the inner city of Chang'an City. If they spread the cold to the people in Chang'an City,"
"Would it cause people in Chang'an City to be infected with wind-cold cough on a large scale?"
"If this happens and there are not enough doctors and medicines, based on your experience, how many patients can survive?"
When the doctor heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked.
He really did not think about the problem of insufficient medicinal materials. After all, he only studied treating patients and saving people, and did not look at the overall situation.
Faced with Qin Ming's question, he never knew how to answer.
Looking at the increasingly gloomy expressions of His Majesty and the two ministers, sweat gradually appeared on his neck.
"This...this..."
Qin Ming did not stop talking because of this. He knew that now he needed to give the doctor a final blow.
Only in this way can Li Er believe that if the matter is not handled properly, an epidemic will occur in Chang'an.
So Qin Ming continued:
"There is another question. The wind-cold you mentioned can be cured, but only if it is diagnosed by a doctor and treated with medicine."
"Does the patient still need to get enough food, take care of his body, and get good rest?"
"Then have you ever considered that the refugees in the gathering areas now have long-term hunger and are very weak."
"With the current housing construction situation in the gathering areas, it will be difficult for them to have a comfortable rest environment in the short term."
"Do you think this will cause a large number of refugees to get sick and die?"
After hearing these words, the doctor collapsed to the ground and no longer knew how to refute.
Qin Ming looked at Li Shimin and the others again and said sincerely:
"Uncle, please believe me, my nephew. In this situation, the gathering place must take some remedial measures."
"Because my nephew observed outside the account and found that most of them have not bathed for a long time and have not changed their clothes."
"It is also easy to breed some other diseases. If among these sick people, some of them have other diseases besides cold and cough."
"It is very likely that other diseases will be transmitted to other people at the same time."
"If someone among the refugees is unfortunate enough to get the plague, the consequences will be even more disastrous."
“Even if there is no plague, the number of people infected with cold cough has reached a certain number.
If it exceeds the capacity of Chang'an's doctors and medicinal materials, many people will die due to the spread of the disease. "
"Uncle Li, you must report this matter to the court."
Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji couldn't help but twitch their mouths when they heard this.
Of course, they already understood what Qin Ming meant.
Even if it is just a cold cough, if it causes a large-scale infection among the refugees, it will exceed the doctor's rescue limit, or there will not be enough medicinal materials.
Then an epidemic will occur, causing a large number of civilians to die of illness.
Li Shimin glanced at the two humiliators beside him, and saw from their solemn eyes that they attached great importance to this matter.
Qin Ming said these words.
It also refreshed Li Shimin's understanding of him again.
A person who does not understand medical skills can analyze these by himself through observation, which shows that Qin Ming has a good overall view.
Li Shimin looked at Qin Ming with appreciation, nodded, and said:
"Don't worry, my dear nephew, of course I trust your judgment and will definitely report this matter to the court."
As he said this, he looked at the person who had been silent at the side, the Imperial Medical Officer of the Imperial Medical Office.
At this time, Li Shimin was more worried about the plague that Qin Ming mentioned, so he looked at Wang Bo with sharp eyes and said:
"Pharmacist Wang, what do you think of Mr. Qin's statement about the possibility of a plague?"
After listening to Qin Ming's words, the imperial doctor ordered Wang Bo to fall into deep thought for a short time.
He has been practicing medicine for decades and has seen many difficult and complicated diseases. In addition, he has participated in solving many plagues.
Including the plague that occurred in Longyou Road a few years ago, he brought many doctors from the Imperial Medical Office to rescue it.
Therefore, he is very experienced in dealing with and solving plagues.
This is why His Majesty brought him here with Dr. Cui, who had participated in the resettlement of refugees.
And what Qin Ming just said, there was actually one thing that he had not thought of when he solved the plague before.
It is possible that at the beginning of the plague outbreak, it would spread rapidly among the population along with other diseases such as wind and cold.
And he is right. Most of the refugees now are in weak health, and the conditions in the gathering places are very poor.
There is no guarantee that some people will catch the plague. In this case, there is indeed a certain possibility that the plague will break out.
At this time, His Majesty's question interrupted Wang Bo, the imperial physician's contemplation.
Wang Bo looked at His Majesty and the two important ministers of the court, and they all looked at him with sharp eyes.
He suddenly felt a great pressure, and naturally he did not dare to hide it, so he replied respectfully:
"Your Majesty...well...I think what Mr. Qin said is reasonable. According to Mr. Qin's description, in addition to the possibility of a large number of people being infected with cold and cough, there is indeed a certain possibility of causing a plague."
Fang Xuanling, who had been listening, could not help but think of the memorials sent by some counties that had suffered disasters in previous years.
In the past few years of the Tang Dynasty, disaster victims have gathered every year, which has been accompanied by the occurrence of some plagues, resulting in the death of a large number of civilians.
Is it really, as Qin Ming said, because there is a problem with the resettlement plan for the refugees?
