Queen of The Scalpel - Chapter 107

The members of the Imperial Emergency Headquarters, i.e. the officials of the Department of Public Health, the professors of the Institute of Medicine, and the names of the Imperial Cross Hospital, were shocked. They were all not approved with Elise’s predicament. No, they were all mocking, let alone believing her. Although doctors at the Imperial Cross Hospital listened carefully to her, they did not fully believe her, saying she was a genius and was making absurd claims.

The officials of the Department of Public Health in particular would not have helped her with the process, if they are not ordered by the emperor and the crown prince.

But…

The result was the exact opposite of what they expected.

‘Her argument was right!

‘It doesn’t make sense.’

Apart from their distrust, the next day again.

The number of cases of the disease has decreased to less than 30.

It was clear that the spread of the epidemic had been completely dampened.

‘Fortunately, indeed.’

Elise breathed a sigh of relief.

Patients are still infrequent, but this was due to the quarantine period of people who had previously been infected with cholera.

‘Cholera’s quarantine period is usually one to two days. It’s five days at most, so the number of patients will be completely cut off soon.’

Her prediction was correct. As soon as three days passed, the patient snapped like a lie. There were a few, but almost negligible.

It was like a miracle, and the citizens of Londo, who shuddered before the disaster of death, cheered with joy.

“Is it over now? Already?”

“Can we really live?”

The fear of infectious diseases in this era was beyond imagination.

Tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands died like straw. It is common for family members to die and relatives to be exterminated.

They were all so afraid it would be a disaster this time again, but how could it end so soon?

There were over 500 victims, but it was a really small number compared to 150,000 20 years ago. The citizens of Londo were delighted that a miracle had happened.

However, this was no coincidence.

One girl.

It was the result of her medical work.

Citizens soon learned that the blessings of their lives were not accidental.

This is because newspapers, which found out the circumstances, rushed to report.

[Dame Clorence Conquering Death’s Infectious Diseases!]

[Dame Clorence, despite opposition from die-hard bureaucrats, her medical judgment she used like the cholera map had stop the epidemic from happening! She saved Londo from deathtoll!]

It was an incredible story. Originally, the cause of this epidemic was known as bad air, or poison.

But based on medical dynamics, they have to find out the real cause and stop the transmission!

“You saved us Dame Clorence, the Crown Princess.”

“I know. She’s not only kind-hearted, she’s really great.”

The citizens of Londo were enthusiastic about her and were originally loved by the citizens, but this time the level of enthusiasm is different. It was like a storm.

“Long live Dame Clorence!”

“Long live the Crown Prince! Hooray!”

People praised Elise’s name whenever they gathered.

“Shouldn’t she be called St. Elise, and not Dame Clarence?”

“That’s what I’m saying.”

Saint, Saint. It is an honorable title given to a person who has made great achievements for the people. It may be too much, but with her surprising medical judgment, hundreds of thousands of people’s lives were saved, so there is no need to honor them. And there is another figure in the spotlight.

It was Linden de Romanoff, the Crown Prince.

“This time, the Crown Prince has fully trusted and supported Dame Clorence?”

“Yes, the newspaper said. And when the epidemic was in height, Dame Clorence and him were looking at the source together.”

“It’s a match made by heavenly. I wish Dame Clorence should be the crown princess soon!”

“Ei! This person really. Dame Clarence hasn’t even had a coming-of-age ceremony yet, has she?”

“Does it even matter when she’ll be an adult in few months? They can get engaged right away and even get married!”

Originally, the Crown Prince is less popular than the Third Prince in terms of power of governance and the power of ruling.

It was because he is not as amicable as the Third Prince.

But thanks to this incident, and the fact that he is scheduled to marry her, is all thanks to Elise.

“Dame Clarence, and for the marriage of the Crown Prince! Some citizens even drank for that occasion.”

At that time, the main character Elise is at Theresa Hospital.

This is because the additional transmission is over, but the patient is not that stopping just like that. Even at the moment when people are happy, there were many cholera patients who are on the verge of death.

“With proper treatment, the fatality rate can be lowered dramatically.”

Cholera’s fatality rate was around 1 percent in the modern world.

On the other hand, the fatality rate of cholera in Londo is close to 40-50 %. This is because they are not getting proper treatment.

‘We can’t lower the fatality rate as much as the Earth.’

Still, knowing the principles can lower this terrible fatality rate.

‘We should start treating these patients and then later broadcast them.’

Elise, who pledged to do so, is focused on the recovery of the patients. The citizens are once again impressed with her appearance.

“Dame Clarence, as always, doesn’t have break.”

“I know. Apparently, she’s weak, too.”

“Isn’t that how the Crown Princess gets sick? She shouldn’t do that.”

Some were already calling her the Crown Princess.

That’s how much they want her to become their crown princess.

Meanwhile, Elise struggled among the patients, telling other doctors the core of the treatment.

She can’t treat every patient by herself. They have fellow doctors, and she don’t have to do it all.

“The reason why cholera patients die is because of dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. This is because diarrhea and vomiting are too severe for general gastrointestinal diseases. So we need to focus on making sure that the maximum water supply and electrolytes are Cholera plunged throughout Rondo.

In the end, Elise conquered the great plague that killed thousands of people in Londo 20 years ago.
