medical road with you

Chapter 108 New situation
Influenza A virus is a Class B infectious disease and needs to be reported to higher authorities.

Lu Ping told Chi Na about the result, and asked her to give medicines to patients with flu symptoms as soon as possible, and then went to check the phone number of the epidemic prevention department.

Anping Clinic is not a public hospital and is not connected to the infectious disease reporting system network, so it can only report by phone.

The phone rang nine times, then hung up automatically, and finally someone answered.

"Hello." The duty officer Li Gang asked lazily.

"Hi, is this the CDC? I have a few cases of communicable disease to report."

"What infectious disease?" Li Gang asked.

"Influenza A."

Li Gang gave a faint 'oh'.

Lu Ping asked uncertainly: "Can I report the basic information of the patient now?"

"You said."

Lu Ping reported the patient's information one by one, including address, phone number, etc.

After the report, I felt that the other party seemed too careless, and said a few more words: "Although influenza A is not a very serious disease, after getting it, people will have a high fever for four or five days, which greatly affects work and study, and children suffer even more if they get it. , If you can pay attention to it and take more protection, even if you just wear more masks and wash your hands frequently, it will be much better. Therefore, I sincerely hope that you can pay attention to it.”

The other party was silent for a while. After so many calls, this was the first time Li Gang heard someone say that.

"Which medical institution are you from?" Li Gang asked.

"Anping Clinic."

Anping Clinic?There is no such institution in the area he is in charge of: "Are you a private clinic?"

"Yes."

Li Gang was greatly touched: "What's your name?"

"Lu Ping."

"Doctor Lu, please rest assured, we will pay attention to it and take effective measures."

Lu Ping finally felt relieved: "That's good."

Li Gang couldn't help but want to chat with her a few more words: "My name is Li Gang, if you encounter similar things in the future, you can find me."

"Ok."

Hearing the other party's assurance, Lu Ping hung up the phone with confidence.

Walking to the front desk, Lu Ping said to Tianhai: "Go and order a batch of N95 masks. All the staff in the clinic will wear masks in the future."

Tianhai nodded immediately: "I understand."

The Anping Clinic has absorbed more than half of the patients with respiratory tract infections in Seoul. If we talk about high-risk and susceptible groups, the staff of the Anping Clinic bear the brunt.

"One more thing." Lu Ping ordered: "Purchase another batch of oseltamivir."

Tianhai smiled slightly: "Well, I contacted the people at the pharmaceutical factory last night."

Lu Ping tilted his head and looked at Tianhai with his cheeks on his hands: "Jiang Tianhai, you said what would I do without you?"

Tianhai stood up and pinched Lu Ping's nose: "Then you should be nice to me, hold me firmly, and never leave me."

**
Li Gang took this matter seriously, how did Lu Ping know, because she received a call from Mrs. Wu.

On the phone, Mrs. Wu complained to her that someone from the epidemic prevention station called her and asked her to self-quarantine at home for [-] days and was not allowed to go anywhere.

She can't go anywhere, that is to say, she can't go to the supermarket or the vegetable market. She is bored at home. The key is that she can't buy vegetables and cook.

Lu Ping comforted him while listening.

After listening to Mrs. Wu's complaint for 10 minutes, Lu Ping hung up the phone.

After all, influenza A is not a severe infectious disease, so it is not necessary to blockade the community, but the sub-district office also hung up banners and rang a loudspeaker to remind people to prevent influenza A.

Among other things, at least there are obviously more people wearing masks on the street than before.

Looking at the masks passing by one by one in front of the door, Lu Ping smiled gratifiedly.

So, anything, as long as you put your mind to it, you can always do it well.

The effect of the control was still obvious. Within a few days, Lu Ping clearly felt that there were a lot fewer patients in the clinic than before.

"Doctor, give me some oseltamivir."

A man in his 30s wearing a mask came in and said this to Lu Ping.

The man looked in a hurry.

"What's wrong with you?" Lu Ping still treated him according to the standard procedure.

"I have a fever, 39°C. It's been almost two days. Isn't this a flu epidemic recently? I didn't expect me to be caught too." The man made a diagnosis for himself.

"Is there any other discomfort besides fever?"

Lu Ping continued to ask, patients can diagnose themselves hastily, but doctors can't.

Moreover, A stream has been basically brought under control recently, and there are few new cases.

"Just a little cough, a little stuffy."

Stuffy?

Lu Ping soon discovered that something was not quite right.

"Sit down and let me listen."

Lu Ping took out his stethoscope.

The man was very impatient: "Why do you have so many things to do, doctor? I told you that it was influenza A. My neighbor next door got influenza A. After taking the medicine for a day, it will be fine. You can prescribe some medicine for me. I will take it." Take the medicine and quickly reduce the fever, I am still waiting for a business trip."

Lu Ping got serious: "Whether it is influenza A is not up to you, and I don't think your symptoms are purely ordinary influenza A."

"Go, it's really troublesome."

The man complained and sat closer.

Chest, back, up and down, left and right, Lu Ping listened carefully to each auscultation site.

There are rales, but they are not very obvious. The breath sound seems a bit high, and it feels a bit like pulmonary consolidation.

"Take a blood test and take a chest X-ray." Lu Ping thought it would be better to find out more.

The man was unhappy, and stood up: "You guys are a black clinic."

Chi Na couldn't hear the word "black clinic" the most, and stood up: "You also go to the neighbors in the neighborhood to ask, who will say that our Anping clinic is a black clinic."

"Dr. Lu asked you to do more checkups, because he was afraid that you would get some serious illness. Dr. Lu is worth over [-] million yuan, so he will be greedy for your inspection fee?"

The phrase 'worth over [-] million' successfully shocked the man, he seemed to have heard that this clinic is very rich.

The man sat down and talked carefully: "Then doctor, can you hurry up, I'm really busy."

Chi Na patted her chest: "Don't worry, our Anping clinic is efficient."

It was indeed very efficient. Blood was drawn and X-rays were taken. In less than half an hour, all the results came out.

Looking at the large white lungs, Lu Ping's face was extremely ugly.

"What's wrong?" The man also sensed that something was wrong.

"Your lungs have extensive inflammation." Lu Ping said as objectively as possible.

"Then what should we do?" the man asked nervously.

"We need further examination to clarify the pathogen. Then targeted treatment."

Lu Ping immediately took a cotton swab and wiped it on the man's throat.

"It may take several hours for the results to come out. Until then, I advise you to stay at home and not to walk around."

The man was really scared: "Doctor, what disease do I have?"

"I can't tell you this now. I have to wait for the test results. Go home and rest first."

Seeing that the man took off his mask just now because of the inspection, Lu Ping instructed again: "Wear your mask well."

After receiving the specimens, Lu Ping performed basic treatment first, and then observed them under the electron microscope. In the field of vision, there were obvious spikes on the surface of the spherical virus.

It's really spike virus!
Lu Ping's bad premonition became stronger.

Opening the website for primer design, Lu Ping searched for it, and it really allowed her to find the gene sequence of the Spike virus back then.

Without delay for a second, Lu Ping began to synthesize PCR primers according to the results.

All the reagents were prepared, Lu Ping pressed the start button, and the PCR process started.

Looking at the flashing warning light, Lu Ping didn't know what it was like.

Could this really be the virus that killed her father back then?

Having done so many experiments and waited for so many results, Lu Ping has never felt like this time that the clock seems to be slowing down.

Tick, it seems that after a century, the result finally came out.

The moment he opened the box, Lu Ping felt that he stopped breathing.

The pale green fluorescent band is clearly visible.

It really is it!
After being silent for nearly ten years, it unexpectedly came out again to cause harm to the world.

Lu Ping quickly ran to the front desk, holding on to the marble surface, gasping for breath.

"Pingping, what happened?" Tianhai had never seen Lu Ping so flustered.

"I found a case of spike virus pneumonia."

"It was the one who killed your father back then..."

Before Tianhai could finish asking, Lu Ping rushed to answer: "Yes, it's that kind of virus."

Tianhai's face darkened.

Those who experienced it will never forget how serious and severe the plague was.

At that time, it was time to talk about the discoloration of the virus.

It took nearly three years and a lot of manpower and material resources before humans finally sealed the virus in the laboratory.

That is really the worst plague in human history.

"Are you sure?" Tianhai asked.

This is not a trivial matter and must be 100% sure.

"Nucleic acid testing, the gold standard, should be basically confirmed."

Tianhai thought about it carefully: "Test it again."

Lu Ping ran towards the laboratory again with unsteady steps.

Looking at Lu Ping's figure, Tianhai's heart tightened.

"Pingping, I'll go with you."

Grabbing Lu Ping's hand and supporting her, Tianhai led Lu Ping into the laboratory together.

When Lu Ping started the experiment, Tianhai was watching her right behind her, never leaving her eyes for a second.

The waiting process began, and Tianhai held Lu Ping's hand tightly.

Strangely, Lu Ping actually felt that this time seemed to be faster.

Di, the result came out, Lu Ping opened the lid.

It's still light green fluorescent.

Worried that Tianhai wouldn't understand the result, Lu Ping explained: "It's positive."

Tianhai didn't make a sound.

Lu Ping further explained: "The patient has fever, cough, and difficulty breathing. It is a very clear confirmed case."

Tianhai still didn't make a sound.

Lu Ping went on to say: "Now, we have to report this matter to the relevant departments as soon as possible."

Tianhai frowned, what he was thinking about was not this one, but another.

This patient was treated by Lu Ping, and it was Lu Ping who tested him. This is considered a close contact. Will Lu Ping be infected?

Tianhai is now really thankful that there was a flu outbreak in a small area of ​​Seoul before, and fortunately they are all wearing masks now.

"Tianhai, what's your opinion?" Lu Ping finally asked.

Tianhai grabbed Lu Ping's hand tightly: "Close the clinic, immediately, immediately."

Who knows how many patients there are out there, and who knows which of these patients who came to Anping Clinic is a pneumonia patient.

Protecting Lu Ping and the people in the clinic is what Tianhai is most concerned about right now.

After leaving the laboratory, the first thing Tianhai did was to take out the disinfectant alcohol and spray Lu Ping up and down.

Then he walked to Chi Na's side and quietly told her about it.

Chi Na was very surprised.

"Hurry up and go home. Don't go out during this period of time. Xiaobao doesn't want to go to kindergarten anymore. And Wang Lei, try to let him ask for leave and stay at home." Tianhai carefully instructed: "This matter hasn't been reported yet. You don't tell anyone just yet, lest you cause panic."

Chi Na immediately started to pack her things.

There were still some patients in the clinic. Tianhai turned on the loudspeaker: "Due to personal emergencies, the clinic needs to be closed immediately. Please leave the clinic as soon as possible."

After shouting this several times, finally everyone left the clinic.

Tianhai turned around and looked at Lu Ping who was a little dazed: "Okay, now you report the case to the people at the epidemic prevention station."

Lu Ping breathed a sigh of relief, she thought Tianhai did not agree with her reporting the case.

Tianhai seemed to understand Lu Ping's mind, and patted Lu Ping on the head: "What are you thinking, I must protect my relatives first, and then fulfill the obligations of a citizen."

Lu Ping called the epidemic prevention station again.

Li Gang was on duty again, and the phone rang twice before someone answered it.

"Hello, this is the epidemic prevention station, who are you?"

"This is Anping Clinic."

Upon hearing this familiar voice, upon hearing about Anping Clinic, Li Gang smiled: "Is it Dr. Lu? What's the matter?"

After hanging up on Lu Ping's phone that day, Li Gang carefully investigated the Anping clinic.

It's really amazing that a private clinic can get such a large scale.

Li Gang went to investigate Lu Ping's background information again, and found out that she was the inventor of the cheap insulin.

Li Gang's family is hereditary diabetes, and it is because of this low-priced insulin that their family's drug expenses have been reduced a lot. Li Gang is grateful to Lu Ping from the bottom of his heart.

Therefore, in response to the A-flu epidemic in Seoul this time, Li Gang worked hard and went to all levels of departments and units, and the leaders were busy with other things.

"Clerk Li, a patient with spinous process pneumonia was found in the Anping Clinic." Lu Ping said with surprise.

The phone in Li Gang's hand almost dropped: "You mean the spinous process pneumonia?"

"Yes, it's the pneumonia from ten years ago?"

After being quiet for a while, Li Gang said a word: "This is a big deal!"

After thinking for a while, Li Gang asked the same question as Tianhai: "Are you sure it's spinous process pneumonia?"

"OK, I did a nucleic acid test twice."

Li Gang focused on the second half of the sentence: "Can your clinic test nucleic acid?"

"can."

"Okay, I see, you give me the patient's information, and I will report this to the superior."

After reporting all the information, Lu Ping hung up the phone.

Tianhai looked down at Lu Ping: "Okay, now, as a doctor, everything you should do is done, come home with me quickly."

Back home, Tianhai directly stuffed Lu Ping into the bathroom, and soaked all the clothes on her body and his own with disinfectant.

It wasn't until they both put on their pajamas and lay down that Lu Ping came to his senses: "Are you worried that I might be infected?"

Tianhai nodded her nose: "You little idiot, you only realized it now."

Lu Ping sighed: "Hey, sometimes my reaction is a bit slow."

Tianhai bowed his head and kissed her: "It's a bit stupid, but I like it."

Because Lu Ping had just taken a shower, there was a faint scent of shower gel on Lu Ping's body, Tianhai sniffed it and then sniffed it, and finally gnawed on Lu Ping's neck.

The skin is white and tender, which makes people love it.

Tianhai's hands became dishonest.

In the end, Tianhai hugged Lu Ping tightly, muttering: "Pingping, you must be safe."
