Penicillin

In a laboratory of the human liberation army, a young scientist was returning from his vacation, so he turned on the white lights of the place.

The first thing he did was review his test samples that he had been working on for the past week.

To his surprise, he noticed that near the sink where he cleaned the dishes, there was a petri dish that had a whitish substance on it.

So, with curiosity, the young scientist put on gloves and a mask to avoid contaminating the sample.

Because he was curious to analyze the white substance that had formed.

Taking the Petri dish in his hands, he took it to the microscope in the laboratory and began to see what was in it.

When he analyzed the petri dish, he noticed that the white mold had formed a bacteria kill zone.

‘So this mold has a bactericidal property, interesting, but it can be tested on animals and how to get it. ‘

With great curiosity, the scientist wrote in his notebook that the new mold would have the name penicillin.

In the following days, the greatest scientists of the three nations learned all they could about penicillin.

Their most important task was learning how to make penicillin, although it was difficult for them at the time, recreating the conditions where it had been found.

The conditions were imitated after a week of hard work, but that was only the beginning as a bigger problem arose.

Because production could only be in small quantities, the new antibiotic could only be used in small quantities.

So the news reached the leaders of the three nations who were quite happy because penicillin was the first antibiotic found.

Because sulfonamide was a bactericide found accidentally when a chemist was looking for dyes for woolen cloth.

So important was the discovery that the three leaders met at the command center of the human liberation army.

“We are gathered in this place to talk about the new antibiotic in our hands and the mass production in our nations.

To ensure a stable supply in the human liberation army. “

Emperor Queralt stroked his chin “As far as we know, penicillin can only be produced in very low quantities.

According to reports, even if we all work together in the remaining 14 weeks before the protection of the goddess ends.

We will only be able to produce 300 doses of penicillin each day, which is a drop of water in an enormous sea. “

President Meldos smiled “I know it is little, but we can guarantee that it is used only in the most serious patients. For common infections, we can use sulfonamides.

They will work very well to prevent bacterial outbreaks in the army, and sulfonamide powder is a material that we can use in high quantities. “

Kaiser Werner stroked his mustache “I think it sounds like an excellent idea, but even with that low-scale penicillin production.

We can set aside at least 10 or 30 vials of penicillin for use in our families, while investigating an efficient way to be able to produce it on a high scale. “

President Meldos nodded and Emperor Queralt did too.

“Well then, I think we can sign the penicillin production agreement on a high scale.

To test the new drug, we will let it be used immediately in military hospitals for the treatment of flu or other problems where it can be used. “

After this, the three leaders signed a document and the use of penicillin in the army was approved.

A few days later, at the military hospital, Drusilla was invited to take part in the first trial of penicillin to treat a bacterial flu.

For this, all the doctors prepared with face masks and put on their white coats.

“Today we will go down in history as the first time penicillin was tested on a volunteer.

The patient is Artur, the first driver of the first tank in history. He got sick after training where he was in the rain.

Because of the mucus and the clinical analysis done in advance, we know it is a bacterial problem, so we will treat his infectious picture using penicillin.

It will be injected intramuscularly so we will do it through a patient’s buttock.

For this we will use the H2 syringes, which have a new cross section, to be able to gently inject the patient, unlike H1 injections. “

After those words, the doctors arrived at a hospital bed where Artur was with cold compresses to relieve the fever he had.

“All right, this is our patient who will do the honors of injecting the penicillin.”

Drusilla raised her hand so all the doctors nodded “I think it would be an honor if the first female doctor injected the penicillin.

Please, Dr. Drusilla, do us the favor of injecting the patient. “

Drusilla then walked towards Artur, whom she looked at with a smile, “Artur, we will inject you with an antibiotic that will end the disease you have.

But we need you to turn around. It will be a small injection, but it needs to be injected through your glute. “

Artur smiled and rolled over on his bed to expose his rear through the patient gown he had on.

Drusilla then used an alcohol swab to clean a corner of the left buttock. When she finished cleaning it, she placed the penicillin in a glass syringe.

Which was white. When filling the syringe, she used her fingers to hit the syringe. This she did to remove the air from the liquid.

She always had to do that because air can kill the patient if injected.

When the syringe was ready, Drusilla injected Artur, who only bit his teeth for the pain.

When Drusilla finished, she used the cotton to clean the drop of blood that had been “I know it hurt a little Arturo, but you must be strong.

This medicine will make you feel better. “

When she finished saying those words, the cameraman, who was looking at everything, took a photo for posterity.

Throughout that night, the doctors monitored Artur and discovered that his symptoms of illness had begun to disappear.

To begin with, the body temperature stabilized at 38 degrees, the mucus was reduced, and Artur’s face turned redder.

In just two days, and with another injection, it was possible to end the bacterial disease that Artur had suffered, so the news spread throughout the continent.

Making Thousands of people celebrate as it was a small step for doctors and scientists, but it was a significant step for humanity.
