Struggle in the Steam Age - Chapter 671

In order to trade, Lawrence conducted a large-scale investigation of the entire island with the help of the lords of the green islands.

Taking into account Lawrence’s identity and the relationship of the country behind everyone, these lords naturally don’t worry about what bad results will be if the key data is known by Lawrence.

Therefore, in this investigation, all the lords on the island cooperated with Lawrence’s actions as much as possible, and shared the key information they possessed with him.

These data containing a series of trivial data such as population, local specialties, land area may not have much meaning to others, but they can analyze a lot for Lawrence and Shumei, who have mastered big data analysis capabilities. Something very meaningful.

For example, if you analyze the two data of local population and survivable space, you will naturally find that the region actually has great development potential, and it will never be as depressed as it seems now.

And this news also means that if you trade with Green Island, it will be a long-term trade that can last for many years. Therefore, if you want to maximize the benefits of all parties, you need to take the possibility of this long-term trade into consideration. in.

That is to say, in the collation of these key data, Lawrence found that the level of medical care on this island can be said to be appalling.

In settlements like Fort Surrey, there are still some from the Passion Church, or some other church staff can provide some medical services that are obviously insufficient in terms of quantity and quality.

But after leaving these large cities, if people in other places get sick, they have to carry them hard or find some unreliable herbs, and then begin to pray to the gods of faith to see if miracles have happened.

Even compared with the Green Island, the island of New Sauer Island where Lawrence was before is considered very good in terms of medical standards.

At least compared to the large areas of wasteland and monotonous vegetation on the Green Island, the Star Sea Islands in the tropical rain forest area have more diverse organisms, so more types of natural medicines can be found.

In this context, it is naturally quite profitable to sell various medicines and some simple medical products to the island.

At the same time, considering the purpose of expanding the market and building a reputation, in addition to selling drugs and medical supplies to the island, Lawrence intends to discuss with the crucifixion church to see if he can cooperate with the island in certain medical aspects.

After that banquet, Lawrence was idle for several days.

According to Viscount Surrey, the Briton nobles on these green islands were actually the same as the nobles on the Sauer Island that Lawrence had contacted before. They were pleasantly surprised after receiving this information and then fell into a dispute.

After all, this matter is related to everyone’s income for a long time in the future, so the nobles need a period of time to coordinate various internal situations before they can give Lawrence a unified reply.

Taking advantage of this leisurely opportunity, Lawrence and Syfiel went to many large settlements on the island and visited the members of the crucifixion church in those settlements, and expressed the hope that they could cooperate with everyone in the medical field.

After listening to Lawrence’s idea, the members of these churches basically all expressed their support.

The only reservation is that the method proposed by Lawrence has never been done here before. So they hope to be able to conduct a simple pilot somewhere to verify the reliability of this approach.

Lawrence is naturally impossible to object to this request of the Passion Church, so after discussing it with the members of the Passion Church and the nobles. Lawrence chose Fort Surrey as the location for his experiment.

So when Lawrence completed his trip to the island and returned to Fort Surrey, a simple medical school was built.

Lawrence did not find it too difficult to establish a certain basic medical system in a territory on the fringe of civilization, because he had already done similar things on Sauer Island before and accumulated part of it. experience.

So after just one week of training, these students from the Viscount Surrey showed their mastery of some practical medical knowledge.

“Is it that easy to train a doctor?” a nobleman asked in a surprised tone with his eyes widened.

Because he saw several young trainees who were selected for examination after careful examination and questioning the patients, they quickly prescribed a prescription for treatment after discussion.

“Of course it’s not that simple.” Lawrence shook his head and walked over to the patient to check. Then he took the prescription and made his own judgment.

“For example, they only noticed that the old man had some diarrhea and prescribed montmorillonite powder to stop the diarrhea, but they did not find that the cause of this patient’s diarrhea was food poisoning.”

“I think this kind of diarrhea caused by eating some rotten meat or fish should be easily recognized and given corresponding treatment, instead of just treating superficial diarrhea and ignoring more important foods. Poisoning problem.”

Obviously, these low-profile barefoot doctors who have been trained for a week are at best just learning something about medicine.

If you want to know the level of this kind of education, you must wait until the three-month overall teaching training is over before you can see what the specific situation is.

But even so, those who came to inspect with Lawrence were still very surprised by the speed at which these low-profile barefoot doctor apprentices were trained.

“This is simply incredible.” After watching the very naive treatment demonstration by the students just now, a baron with a fief in the north of the city looked at the scene in front of him in surprise.

“I know these people have only studied for a week. But to be honest, their level is better than the so-called medical staff who provide various medical services on my territory.”

Listening to these nobles’ babbled explanations, Lawrence finally figured out the level of the original doctors in this area.

What makes him feel incredible is that the guys who used to practice medicine in this area are terribly low.

A large number of people who don’t know anything about medicine claim to be doctors and deceive the people with all kinds of seemingly brain-dead methods, and use such tricks to grab a lot of wealth.

“I admit that whether it is burning some plants or using hot spring water to bathe can cure some diseases. But it is purely a deceit to say that all diseases can be cured by this method alone.”

After listening to the nobles babbling about the treatment methods of the medical staff in the area, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Lawrence commented unceremoniously.

“But I can also understand why this happens. At least compared to staying there and waiting for death, this treatment can play a placebo effect.”

“Earl Sauer, what is this placebo you are talking about?” After hearing Lawrence say a certain word, a middle-aged aristocrat who also had the title of earl asked curiously.

After hearing the voice, Lawrence followed his reputation, and found that this nobleman was one of the two highest-ranked earls on the island and was also a supernumerary bachelor of the Royal Briton Academy of Sciences.

Obviously, this earl possesses the unique spirit of inquiry of scholars, so he interrupted Lawrence at this time and asked him about the meaning of this new vocabulary.

“Placebo is a newly coined vocabulary that I have created. It is made up of two roots with comforting and drug.” Since the word was to be explained clearly, Lawrence naturally started from the most basic.

“This medicine is actually made of substances that have no medicinal effect and no toxic side effects, such as sugar, dyed water or starch, etc., and the appearance is similar to the real medicine—”
