I run a clinic in the United States

Chapter 177 Severe situation

"In addition, there are also a group of patients in Violent City, sixty kilometers away. We followed Boss Luoya's instructions and sealed them in, leaving two doctors behind. However, one died not long ago, and there is still one left. Of course, we also regularly send supplies and medical supplies to them, but the number of deaths is increasing day by day, and it is estimated that they will not be able to survive for long."

Margaret added on the side: "People in Violent City are strongly demanding to come out, especially the doctor. I went to see him a few days ago. It's really..."

Even people who have always had a hard heart can't bear to see her look so ugly!
In fact, most of the people who could leave in Violent City escaped. However, almost all of them were infected. If they went out, they would die or infect more people!
Black Scorpion was silent: "..."

Luo Ya had given him instructions. If he really couldn't hold on, he would give up here, lead healthy people, return to the United States or Mexico, and come back again in the future.

However, Black Scorpion is not willing to give up easily, because, in addition to being an important base of the Violent Queen organization, which was finally conquered and a lot of infrastructure construction was carried out, it is also his hometown!
The largest tribe in the surrounding area was his birthplace and had many of his relatives and friends.

It was impossible for him to leave with so many relatives and friends.Moreover, many people may not be willing to follow him away.

If nothing else, just say that his old father had just become the chief with his support.Now it's so exciting that it's impossible to listen to him.

What his old father didn't know was that if Black Scorpion left, his position as chief would not be preserved at all.He will be killed by others!
Black Scorpion frowned, recovered from his messy thoughts, and said: "Dr. Zhou, there are four doctors in the base. They understand the disease better than me. Why don't I call them out and let them carefully Let me report to you!"

Zhou Qiao waved his hand: "They are probably very busy, and there may be a risk of bringing out germs. I'd better go in directly."

"Ah? Are you going in now?"

"We just arrived. Do you want to rest for the night and talk about it tomorrow?"

Black Scorpion and Margaret were both surprised and advised each other.

Zhou Qiao said: "I'm not here for tourism. Let's just go in first. If the problem is not solved, I won't come out!"

"Ah?" Black Scorpion, Margaret and others looked at each other.

Black Scorpion was a little worried. If something went wrong with Zhou Qiao, how would he explain it to Boss Luo Ya?

However, in the end, he couldn't defeat Zhou Qiao and had to send him in personally.

The base in the middle of the mountain has a very large space. Black Scorpion asked people to drive. While driving slowly, he pointed in various directions with his hands and gave Zhou Qiao a brief introduction to what areas they were and what their main functions were.

Originally, these were all secrets and ordinary people were not qualified to know, but who was Zhou Qiao?

That's the man behind the boss!Therefore, Black Scorpion introduced it very seriously.

There are even many tanks and large unmanned fighter jets hidden in this base. The arsenal contains many advanced weapons that far exceed those of surrounding forces, which makes Zhou Qiao speechless.

However, Black Scorpion said that among the surrounding forces, many high-level officers had returned from studying in Chinese military academies. They used various means to fight wars. At the beginning, the base suffered a lot of losses. Later, after Luo Ya The boss gave them special training and deciphered the opponent's tactics, and then they slowly evened out their disadvantages, and even relied on advanced equipment to slowly gain the upper hand.

Margaret smiled and said: "Boss Loya is a natural tactical genius. Many of her ideas are refreshing to us. We all sincerely admire and support her."

Zhou Qiao nodded. Luo Ya did have many outstanding qualities and could be regarded as a natural leader and handsome man. However, he did not understand why he had to go to East Africa to establish a base. Was it just for this? of gold, diamonds and some precious resource deposits?
In the United States, even if you don't become a police inspector or a Buddha, aren't you about to become a Texas congressman now?Wouldn’t it be nice to run for governor in the future, or to move up to a higher level and become more powerful?
However, without the continuous financial support here, Loya probably would not be able to become a member of parliament or governor.

In fact, the mineral resources here are one of the important reasons.Because Luo Ya has many public identities now, some businesses on the [-]th Street that were not on the market in the past, such as D products, have long been abandoned by her.

Gold, diamonds and some rare metals sell well no matter which country they are shipped to.

In addition, building a base here, expanding the territory, and engaging in various operations are also her hobbies.

Some people like to play similar PC games or mobile games, but Luoya has a higher pursuit and likes to play the real-life version!

This base at the base of the mountain was very large. Zhou Qiao and the others were not driving very fast, but they were still thirty or forty yards away, and it took them more than ten minutes to walk.

However, the space of the base does not extend vertically, but extends horizontally. There are many ventilation ducts leading to the Great Rift Valley along the way, and there are also some emergency doors, which are used as escape passages and are not usually opened.

Finally, the patient's isolation area was reached.

This place only occupies a corner of the base, but even so, there are nearly [-] patients inside.

Zhou Qiao took a breath. There were eight hundred patients, only four doctors and a dozen nurses. They probably just...do their best and obey fate.

Arriving outside the isolation area, Zhou Qiao glanced inside through the glass window on the door. It was an empty hall with beds one after another, and the distance between each bed was about 1.5 meters.

Four doctors and more than a dozen nurses, wearing uniforms, masks and gloves, are busy inside.

Black Scorpion called the leading doctor inside and asked him to call everyone over. He would meet Zhou Qiao first through the glass window at the door.

This is also a necessary procedure. Otherwise, what will happen if those doctors don't listen to Zhou Qiao's instructions?
If Zhou Qiaomao walked in rashly, people would say, "Who are you?" They might even start chasing people away directly!

Therefore, Zhou Qiao did not object.

"Okay, okay, I'll call them right away." The leading doctor's name is Sampson, who is the captain of the base's medical team.

Sampson went to call for help. When the other doctors and nurses heard this, they were naturally full of complaints.

One doctor even cursed and swore: "Shit! I'm so busy, and I still have to go over to greet the so-called new expert!"

However, in the end, everyone had to gather around.

As for the patients, there are several who are critically ill and about to die. However, it is of little use whether they save them or not.Everything that needs to be done is done, and the rest is left to the patient to resist.

Every day some corpses are packed up and dragged out, already numb.

Black Scorpion turned on the intercom system on the wall, pointed at Zhou Qiao, and shouted loudly inside: "This is Dr. Zhou Qiao, a famous doctor from the United States. He can't wait to come in to support you just after he arrived! Tell me Not much to say, during the time Dr. Zhou is here, everything is subject to his command and arrangements. If anyone doesn’t cooperate, don’t blame my bullets for not having eyes!”

As he said that, he slapped the submachine gun on his chest hard!
Although he is a commander, he still loves P90, wearing it every day and being inseparable.This is also a way to develop a sense of gun skills, which can be achieved by not practicing for three days!

Through the huge glass window, the two groups of people inside and outside looked at each other with different eyes and expressions.

Especially the doctors and nurses inside were very surprised: The young man outside who looked too young to be true, looking like he was in his early twenties, was the new expert?Have you graduated with a doctorate in medicine?No, have you graduated from a bachelor's degree?

"Famous doctor? I'm sorry, I've never heard of it!" A doctor shrugged disdainfully and muttered softly.

Although Zhou Qiao is quite famous in California, these "military doctors" have been in Africa and have not been back to Europe and the United States for many years. They only came out for a quick vacation when they returned. Zhou Qiao is a recent riser, so he has never heard of it. Not surprising.

The doctor who was cursing before couldn't bear it anymore. He raised his neck and asked loudly: "Dr. Zhou, which medical school did you graduate from? How long have you graduated? Do you have a doctor's license?"

Although the series of three questions that directly hit the vital point is simple and ordinary, it is no less than the deadly three immortal swords. If it were an ordinary young doctor, he would be embarrassed on the spot and unable to get off the stage!
Black Scorpion's face turned dark. His face was already dark, but now he looked like the Kitchen God, the East African version of the Kitchen God.

Zhou Qiao gently waved his hand to signal him not to be angry, then smiled slightly and replied to the doctor: "I graduated from a medical school in China, but I am also a medical school student at two universities, UCLA and San Francisco. I’m a visiting professor who has given lectures and has a certificate of appointment. In addition, I have already obtained the U.S. attending physician’s license, issued and certified by the Medical Board of California. If it is fake, you can check it at any time. Anyway, now the Internet can very convenient."

There is no wired network at the base for the time being, but Black Scorpion, Margaret, and the doctors here are all equipped with satellite phones, and their mobile phones have international data packages. It doesn't cost much to go online occasionally.

As for the doctorate in medicine, Zhou Qiao was embarrassed to say that he hadn't gotten it yet and had to wait a few months.However, this is not a problem. A doctorate degree is much weaker than the title of a visiting professor!

A doctor of medicine, at most, studied there before, but the status of a visiting professor from two prestigious universities is comparable to that of a mentor of a doctor of medicine.

How is it possible to become a visiting professor at a prestigious university without having particularly profound attainments and fame?Strictly speaking, he is even more powerful than some ordinary doctoral supervisors!
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked!

"Is it true?" The doctor couldn't help but exclaimed.

At this time, another doctor said: "Dr. Zhou, coincidentally, I also graduated from the University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine, but I haven't heard of a young visiting professor like you?"

Zhou Qiao asked: "How long has it been since you went back? Or how long have you not contacted the teachers at the school?" The doctor said: "It must have been two or three years."

Zhou Qiao said: "That's it. I was just hired last year!"

The doctor nodded: "Then I will contact the professor at the school to confirm when I have time."

Zhou Qiao shrugged, meaning it was casual.Am I still afraid of you checking it out?
Black Scorpion frowned and shouted loudly: "Why, you still dare to question Dr. Zhou?" He involuntarily tightened the gun in his hand!

You question Dr. Zhou and you just don’t give me face. Do you really think I don’t dare to kill you?

Although Boss Luo Ya has given you a high status, I dare not touch you easily, but if you offend Dr. Zhou, hehe, I will be fine!Boss Luo Ya won’t say anything.

Zhou Qiao waved his hand, signaling him to calm down.

"How about you all go back, I can just change my clothes and go in." Zhou Qiao said to Black Scorpion, Margaret and others.

"Okay, if you need anything, just call me. You can mobilize the guards outside at any time!" Black Scorpion waved, called the guards, and told them to follow Dr. Zhou's arrangements and protect Zhou. doctor.

"Yes, sir~" all the guards shouted in unison.

"Dr. Zhou, I'll leave this to you. I'll have dinner delivered later. The conditions are simple, and I hope Dr. Zhou can overcome them more." Black Scorpion said apologetically.

Zhou Qiao said with a smile: "As I said before, I'm not here for a vacation! An ordinary work meal is fine."

"Dr. Zhou, let's take our leave first. There are still many things to deal with outside." Black Scorpion and Margaret gave Zhou Qiao a standard American military salute and then left.

On the other side of the glass window, the doctors and nurses looked at each other. What happened?Who is this person?Even Chief Black Scorpion and Chief Margaret are so respectful?Still salute?I have never seen them salute us before. They always yell and treat us like they are their subordinates!

"Why don't you leave?" Zhou Qiao looked at the two black beauties, Yaqi and Luciana, in surprise.Suddenly I felt that my words were familiar, but I just forgot where I said them before?
Yaqi and Luciana looked at each other and replied in unison: "We are not leaving. The boss has said, let us protect you personally and we cannot leave even a step!"

Zhou Qiao: "Then when I go to bed at night, will you follow me?"

"Yeah~" Yaqi and Luciana nodded repeatedly.

Zhou Qiao: "..." I guess they were joking.

However, even if he sleeps, he will probably sleep in this isolation area. If they want to follow him, then they can follow him.

So, when Zhou Qiao went to change into isolation clothes, Yaqi and Luciana also followed in. They did not change into their own clothes first, but instead helped Zhou Qiao change clothes on the left and right!
Despite the kindness of the two slim black beauties, Zhou Qiao stretched her arms, raised her legs, and changed into the isolation suit.

Suddenly I feel so guilty. Is this the King Zhou experience card that has been renewed?
When Jacqui and Luciana changed Zhou Qiao's clothes, they were very slow and careful, but when it was their turn, they quickly put on their clothes in just a few seconds, leaving Zhou Qiao stunned.

The contrast between before and after is too great!
Jacqui and Luciana just felt that some of the patients there were rude and some had problems with their orientation. Dr. Zhou was so weak and handsome. What if he was bullied?
But they forgot how relaxed and casual Zhou Qiao was when he put on the body armor on the tank.

What's more, Zhou Qiao also has perfect self-defense ability through hypnosis. How could these sick people hurt him?Besides, if you are lying in bed so sick and waiting to die, how can you have the ability and mood to bully the doctor?
It’s too late to beg the doctor for treatment and life-saving treatment!

After Zhou Qiao entered, he greeted everyone and said, "I wonder if anyone is free and can you introduce the specific situation to me." Black Scorpion and Margaret were not professionals before, and their words were very rough.

"Sorry, I still have a few patients over there who need emergency treatment."

"Me too."

"Me too."

The doctors and nurses all left.Nurses are really busy, but doctors are not.

However, what made Zhou Qiao happy was that there was still one doctor who stayed.

And as soon as the other party opened his mouth, Zhou Qiao was slightly startled!
"Dr. Zhou, nice to meet you! My name is Chen Zhining. Next, let me introduce you!" The other party's Mandarin was very standard, and he actually spoke Chinese.

Zhou Qiao said in surprise: "I am very happy to hear your standard Beijing movies in such a foreign country! Although I am not from the north."

Zhou Qiao's Mandarin has a bit of a southern accent, and at least he's not very good at rolling his tongue.

Then he can speak with a flat tongue. If it is a more solemn occasion such as poetry recitation, or the speaking speed is relatively slow, he can speak it in a standard manner, but in daily conversations, he often does not pay much attention to it.

Zhou Qiao stretched out his hand and shook Chen Zhining's hand. They were both wearing gloves, but it didn't matter.

After a brief chat, Zhou Qiao learned that although Dr. Chen spoke very standard Mandarin, he had actually gone abroad with his mother since he was a child. He studied high school and university in the United States, and also studied medicine in the United States. He graduated from Georgia, United States. Emory University School of Medicine.

At first, he opened a private clinic, but later because his father was a gambler and owed too much debt, he had no choice but to sell the clinic in order to repay his father's debt. Then he joined Luo Ya's staff and came to the East African base to serve as the chief physician of the base's medical team. born.

The main thing is that the remuneration given by Luo Ya is very generous, which is far more profitable than opening a clinic. In addition, Luo Ya promised him that he can advance his salary for five years!His father's debt crisis can be solved once and for all.

Zhou Qiao sighed softly, patted Chen Zhining on the shoulder, and then the two of them walked towards the ward.

Chen Zhining is very professional and understands each patient's condition very well.

Soon, Zhou Qiao had a rough idea of ​​the current situation.

He did not use the auxiliary diagnosis function of the system, mainly because he had just performed surgery on Veronica not long ago, and the account balance is not much now, only 136 points, and there is no replenishment here, unless Luo Ya is finished and rushes. Come and join us.

You have to budget carefully and use it sparingly.

It's impossible for him to bite the bullet and eat Jacqui and Luciana, right?That was too much, after all, he was the personal bodyguard assigned to him by Luo Ya.Moreover, although Black Beauty is beautiful, he really has no interest in her.

This unknown disease, which the base medical team named "Disease X", is a new type of virus that has never been seen before. It mainly attacks the human kidneys, causing kidney failure, and then triggers the failure of other organs.

However, many patients also develop infections in the heart, lungs, liver and other parts of the body.Eventually he died of multiple organ failure!

Very confusing.

The fatality rate is naturally quite high, usually starting from the onset of obvious symptoms of infection (high fever, fatigue, soreness in the waist and abdomen, foamy urine, hematuria, and cardiac rhythm disturbance), and will not last more than seven days, that is, death!
As for the infectivity, it is relatively weak, but still more than malaria.

Malaria is easy to treat and there are corresponding drugs. However, for this unknown disease, they have tried many drugs, but they are basically ineffective or have little effect and do not work.

In addition, they have not yet fully understood the transmission route of this disease.Direct contact with blood, feces, and body has been confirmed, but whether it is transmitted through droplets, mosquito bites, etc. is unknown.

For safety reasons, they made the highest level of protection.Doctors and nurses all wear isolation gowns.

"At the beginning, we were short of doctors and medicines, but Boss Luo Ya was very well-organized. It is said that he invested an additional 800 million yuan and delivered a large amount of drugs and equipment in a short period of time. The hemodialysis machine alone cost nearly [-] yuan. Taiwan, it’s a pity that the relief has been alleviated, but in the end, the symptoms are treated but not the root cause, and the number of deaths every day continues to increase.”

"At the beginning, there were more than 3000 patients isolated here, but now there are less than [-] left. Maybe, when these people are dead, this small disaster will be over!" Chen Zhining sighed self-deprecatingly.

But he knew that that was impossible, because the reason why the number of patients did not continue to increase was because there were not many patients who were qualified to be sent to the quarantine area of ​​the base. There were many indigenous residents who would never have the chance to be transported. Come here for healing.

The medical area of ​​this base only accepts soldiers, support personnel and their related relatives.Because many fighters are recruited locally.

It is said that many surrounding tribes hold traditional funeral and sacrificial ceremonies almost every day. While sending away the deceased, they pray for the arrival of the gods and hope that the gods can help them!

　I was delayed by something last night, so today and tomorrow I will definitely update [-] words a day.
