[year 1931]
Here, they sell hope.
———These are the only two prompts at the start of the game.
Dean Charles is a greedy businessman. Their claims of extremely high cure rates and innovative “successful surgical treatments” are nothing but lies to deceive patients and make huge profits.
This so-called “Hope Sanatorium” had neither medication for treating tuberculosis nor proper surgical procedures.
Over the years, countless patients have died on those operating tables.
In order to save costs, Dean Charles even refrained from using anesthesia.
All he cares about is money.
For money, people can completely disregard human life.
By 2109, tuberculosis was no longer an incurable disease. Although it could still be troublesome in some cases, the development of modern medical technology has greatly reduced the power of this disease that had once claimed countless lives.
However, in the 18th century, tuberculosis was an incurable disease that was extremely difficult to cure.
It wasn’t until the invention of streptomycin in 1945 that its deadly rampage was somewhat halted.

Various diseases that have caused massive population losses in history are easy materials to be used to generate dungeons in the game. Although the content and form of each dungeon are not exactly the same, the original background of the story is mostly taken from real history.
Therefore, mastering these basic ancient plagues was an essential lesson for Ruan Qiao when she was still in AAS.
Many instances even hide important clues within them.
Knowing the characteristics of these diseases will help players cope with them and complete tasks more effectively.
“What can be cured by [the King’s Touch] is lymph node tuberculosis. Although there are no anti-tuberculosis drugs now, the mortality rate of lymph node tuberculosis is very low, and there is also a certain chance of self-healing.” She quickly explained: “Once Mycobacterium tuberculosis breaks out between humans and animals, it can infect any organ in the human body. However, lung infections are the most common and severe, which is why pulmonary tuberculosis is so well-known.”
Su Xi continued, “When Mycobacterium tuberculosis infects the lungs, it is pulmonary tuberculosis; when it infects the lymph nodes, it is lymph node tuberculosis.”
Alina looked somewhat bewildered: “What’s the difference?”
[Bullet screen] [Meow Master] What bacteria are involved in tuberculosis?
[Bullet screen] [Yangyang wants candy] What is mycobacteria?
[Bullet acreen] [Aye] I feel the power of knowledge……
[Bullet screen] [Wei Tan] I also feel intellectually crushed……
Ruan Qiao crouched down and patted Alina’s neck: “Of course, here——”
“There are no strange protrusions.”
