Greece’s Roman Road - Chapter 245

After coming out of the ward, Constantine, led by Dean Macaulay and Nina, came to the Dean’s office at the end of the corridor.

“How is it? Dean Macaulay, is the University of Athens useful for fighting bacterial infections?” Constantine asked impatiently before the three of them were seated.

Hearing Constantine’s words, Nina and Macaulay looked at each other, then nodded in unison, and replied excitedly: “It’s a miracle, His Royal Highness, this is the first time in human history, It’s like taking the lives of these lads from death, it’s unbelievable.”

The expressions of the two revealed unconcealed excitement.

With that, Nina handed Constantine a brown bottle.

Constantine carefully observed the white powder in the bottle and thought that this was a hundred waves and a lot of breath.

It is perhaps better known by another name – sulfanilamide.

“His Royal Highness, we used this drug to treat wounded soldiers as you said, and the result was unexpectedly good. In fact, without this miraculous drug, the amputee patients in the ward would , it is almost impossible to survive, and before the advent of this drug, amputee patients, even if they did not die from excessive bleeding, it was almost impossible to avoid bacterial infection,” Dean Macaulay said.

“Who would have thought that this dye would have such a miraculous effect. This drug can inhibit the growth of bacteria in the patient’s wound. Apart from miracles, I can’t imagine other explanations for this kind of thing.” Dean Macaulay, as a doctor, Compared with Nina, the manager of the pharmaceutical company, he can understand the great significance of this drug better.

During the Battle of Thessaloniki, Constantine was deeply shocked by the tragic situation in the field hospital when he came to the hospital in the rear to inspect the wounded soldiers.

Throughout the field hospital, the soldiers screamed and wailed one after another, the ground was covered with dazzling black blood, and flies buzzed back and forth, lingering among the rotten stumps.

The stench of blood mixed with the smell of rotting flesh flowing with green water was almost suffocating.

Those who are not familiar with the situation may think that they have come to hell.

The wounded soldiers, after a simple disinfection treatment at the nurse’s door, were bandaged and lay helplessly on the hospital bed, waiting for the decision of their fate.

If they can persevere, they can win their lives!

Whether the wounded soldiers can survive or not depends mainly on their vitality and willpower!

After learning about the cruel situation that doctors had no antibacterial drugs at all, Constantine thought of the drug sulfonamide, originally invented as a red dye, and later accidentally discovered to be used as an antibacterial drug.

At Constantine’s request, the paramedics received an inexplicable order to try Protoxil (another name for sulfa) as an antibacterial drug.

In fact, most of the medical staff who initially received the order thought the order was too absurd and used a drug whose effect had never been proven to treat the wounded.

In the early 20th century, “secret recipes” were rampant in the drug market, and all kinds of “drugs” were advertised. However, doctors knew that only quinine, artemisinin, aspirin, and morphine were recognized drugs that were really useful. In addition to providing a comfortable recuperation environment for patients, doctors can only expect patients to heal themselves.

“I think this is simply a gift from God, and it’s not just for pioneering wounds. Although we haven’t had time to figure out why it can inhibit bacteria, what is certain is that this drug does. Effectively dealing with germs” Dean Macaulay was so agitated that, in disregard of etiquette, he held Constantine’s left hand tightly with both hands.

“I even think that all diseases that were previously considered incurable can now be tried with a hundred waves and more breaths, and maybe more miracles can occur”

According to Constantine’s knowledge, after the war of 1912, the actual number of soldiers killed in the Greek army was 2,896, and the number of wounded was 4,327.

It can be said that the use of sulfonamide greatly reduced the casualty rate of Greek soldiers in this war, thus saving the lives of thousands of Greeks.

“Since Bailangduoxi has proved its value, then, Nina, you Philip Pharmaceuticals, cooperate with Athens City Hospital to study this drug early. As a drug, Bailangduoxi also has side effects, right? ‘ Constantine told the two of them.

Constantine remembers that after the more perfect antibacterial drug penicillin appeared, sulfonamide quickly disappeared from the public eye, because the side effects of sulfonamide were too great and it was easy to be poisoned.

“Then I’m going to start this work.” Dean Macaulay hurriedly left the office and went to the laboratory.

Only Constantine and Nina were left in the house.

“Nina, you have also seen that Bailangduoxi is a new kind of special medicine, and your Philip Pharmaceuticals is the largest pharmaceutical company in Greece. The army urgently needs to purchase a batch of Bailangduxi as a military material reserve. This The order will be handed over to your company,” Constantine said to Nina.

The largest user of drugs such as antibacterials is the military. After all, no one is more likely to be injured than the military.

After the artemisinin production technology was leaked, although Philip Pharmaceuticals is still the largest pharmaceutical manufacturer in Greece, its performance has plummeted.

After all, after the war of ~www.mtlnovel.com~, after Greece defeated the Ottoman Empire, the morale of the Greek nation and country was high, and it happened that the drug sales agreement with the Dutch at that time expired. With the advantages of technology and lower production cost than quinine, which is the same special medicine for malaria, Philip Pharmaceuticals has exported artemisinin in large quantities to foreign countries, making a lot of money in a short period of time.

Philip Pharmaceuticals was very popular for a while, and almost all Europeans knew that the Greeks had found a cheap anti-malarial drug.

The Philip Pharmaceutical Company, which made a lot of money, has naturally become the target of everyone’s attention. In a very short period of time, in the factory that produces artemisinin, there have been many incidents of commercial spies stealing production technology, even if Constantine was stationed in the factory. The seconded professional intelligence personnel from the Military Intelligence Division of the General Staff also failed to prevent the outflow of artemisinin production technology.

The rapid growth of Philip Pharmaceuticals, which had been in the limelight for a while, came to an abrupt end.

As a manager of a pharmaceutical company, Nina naturally understands the huge wealth behind this new type of special medicine. The antibacterial drug market is much larger than the malaria drug market.

Bailangduoxi is the second special medicine of Philip Pharmaceuticals, and the performance growth point for a long time in the future
