Come on, Dr. Wu

Chapter 439 Ebola!

After so long, Wu Xiaofu already had some feeling about it.

Because of his strong mental power, Wu Xiaofu's intuition is basically correct. Right and wrong, fortune and misfortune are so mysterious. In the previous few times, Wu Xiaofu has almost verified this ability.

And this time, when this ominous feeling appeared, Wu Xiaofu would not have any fluke mentality. He was afraid that the patient in front of him might have a more special condition than the malaria patient.

The medical record was in Wu Xiaofu's hands. The situation was similar to what Director Liao had said on the phone, except that the more he looked at the patient, the more frightened he became. Wu Xiaofu was speechless about Director Liao.

You said you just wanted to treat diarrhea, which could have been done in the outpatient clinic. I don't know why you admitted the patient to the hospital. Since he was hospitalized, you should have treated him well. But you delayed the patient's stay for nearly two weeks just for diarrhea.

It won't be a good thing if you don't take good care of it, it will just get worse and worse.

Looking at the doctor's orders again, they were basically just ordinary drug treatments. Even when the patient subsequently developed a fever and some other symptoms, not much attention was paid and it was just routine treatment. Although the patient was a young person, this is not right.

"Has the malarial parasite test been done?"

"Yes, we have done it and sent it for testing, but we are not sure when the results will come out. Director Wu, do you think I am so unlucky that I have been infected with this?"

Faced with Director Liao’s worries, Wu Xiaofu shook his head. How could he know?

When he got close to the patient, Wu Xiaofu frowned even more, "What's going on with this bleeding spot?"

After flipping through the medical records, there was no record in the medical history, so Wu Xiaofu couldn't tell when the bleeding appeared, but the patient's condition was really shocking.

If you look closely, you can see that the patient's exposed parts are basically covered with sporadic bleeding spots, and even his face seems to have turned red, but not the healthy kind of red, but rather a bit of scarlet.

Hearing Wu Xiaofu's question, Director Liao also glanced at the doctor next to him, who was Xiao Jiang's attending physician. At this time, the doctor also lowered his head, looking a little embarrassed.

However, since Wu Xiaofu had asked him the question, how could he pretend not to know?

"Director Wu, the bleeding occurred three days ago, but I was busy with the malaria patient at the time, so I was a little careless, but I didn't ignore it. I suspected that the patient was allergic, so I gave him allergy medication. The next day, he was still not feeling better, so I asked the hematology department for a consultation. There is a record of the consultation in the medical record."

Wu Xiaofu flipped through it again and sure enough, there was a consultation recommendation from the hematology department in the medical record.

However, in a consultation, under evidence-based medicine, either experimental medication is used, or an examination is conducted first and then a decision is made based on the examination.

The Department of Hematology recommends completing routine blood tests and immune-related tests.

No specific treatment plan was given, and no specific diagnosis was given. This consultation was actually just an examination under a name. There will be no fine due to medical insurance audits, and it has no other real significance.

I did check up and the blood test results were also out. The white blood cell count was a little high, which seemed like an inflammatory reaction, but the neutrophil percentage was okay, and it didn't look like the inflammatory reaction was severe. But would this happen if the inflammatory reaction was not severe?
Moreover, in the routine blood test, the patient's lymphocytes and platelets showed signs of decrease, and compared with the routine blood test at the time of admission, the decrease was significantly more severe. In the liver function test, transaminase was also elevated.

It seems like there is something wrong with the immune system. However, it would be much more troublesome to investigate. After all, don’t all diseases attack the immune system?

Could it be that I was really infected with malaria?

If it is malaria, all of this can be explained. After all, malaria is an infection with Plasmodium, not an ordinary inflammation.

However, Wu Xiaofu always felt something was wrong.

I didn't blame the patient's attending physician. After all, this is the norm in the hospital. Record the course of illness every day? Come on, it's so busy, who has time? It's not until the patient is discharged that they remember to make up these things. Sometimes they can't even remember if the medical record office doesn't urge them.

As long as the patient's condition is not so urgent, this is basically the same operation, and the course of the disease is compiled.

Therefore, apart from basic medical records, such as medical history, it is very normal to be missing ten days or half a month.

Shaking his head, Wu Xiaofu called Rong Qiao directly.

"Teacher Rong."

Director Liao was stunned when he heard this. What does that mean? Although he asked you to file a complaint, he didn't say to file a complaint in person. Isn't it a bit too disrespectful to him?

As for Teacher Rong, he must be calling Rong Qiao. Director Liao didn't know if there were other people with the surname Rong in the hospital that Wu Xiaofu could call a teacher? No, even if there were, Wu Xiaofu would definitely be calling Rong Qiao at this time.

Director Liao was also prepared. Before he told Wu Xiaofu to file a complaint, he was prepared to accept the consequences.

After sending the patient away, everything was considered fine, and Director Liao also thought that nothing mattered anymore.

But it is different now. Once a medical-induced infection really occurs and a young person is infected with malaria, he will definitely be sued. If the responsibility is reduced, he will definitely be the main person responsible.

So, he had made all these preparations.

Unlike the previous patient, this time he was more concerned about the patient's safety.

"What's wrong, Xiaofu?"

"Didn't Huang Xiaojiang, who was in the same ward with the malaria patient, also undergo screening for the malarial parasite virus? Could you please give him a heads-up so that the results can be released quickly?"

Rong Qiao's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.

"Xiao Fu, is there something wrong with that patient?"

Rong Qiao was able to become the dean of the First Affiliated Hospital, so his sensitivity must be good. Wu Xiaofu has already said this. If Huang Xiaojiang had not been in trouble, why would Wu Xiaofu call him in person? He is not a patient in Wu Xiaofu's department.

"Well, Huang Xiaojiang looks very bad, but I don't think he has malaria. Anyway, he looks very bad. I want to see the results of his malarial parasite test as soon as possible so that we can do a check."

Check!

Do you think Huang Xiaojiang's condition is milder or more serious than malaria?

Thinking of this, Rong Qiao couldn't sit still any longer, "Wait a minute, I'll call now."

To be honest, Rong Qiao only made two phone calls to the testing center during this period, both of which were to ask for the results of the malaria parasite test to be out as soon as possible.

Wu Xiaofu hung up the phone and looked at the patient on the bed. He felt a bad premonition growing stronger.

"Where are the patient's family members?"

In order to make medical treatment more convenient and efficient for patients and to make the hospital more orderly, the First Affiliated Hospital has implemented measures to separate the management of patients and their families. Except for three hours every afternoon when family members can come to the hospital to see the patients, they are not allowed to appear in the hospital at other times.

As for examinations, there will be third-party personnel specially hired by the hospital to accompany you.

All of these are free of charge to the patient, unless the patient is unable to move after surgery and needs these nurses to provide more in-depth care, then it is necessary to pay the nurses. This arrangement naturally has its pros and cons.

There are many advantages. Patients have dedicated care in the hospital, which can liberate the patients' families to a great extent. In today's society, every household is busy working for life. Taking a day off may not be a big deal, but if you want to take ten days or half a month to take care of your family, which company is willing to give you such a long leave?

This is no longer necessary now, unless there is a major change in the patient's condition or a signature is required. The patient's family members do not have to visit every afternoon.

Moreover, these caregivers are obviously more professional. Many family members cannot do much even if they just stay with the patient. They cannot even find a place to take the patient for examination.

So, there are really many benefits.

Of course, there are disadvantages as well. That is, except for the specified time, the patient's family members cannot see the patient. If they want to know the patient's condition, they can only do so over the phone.

In addition, the patients' families do not have much time to see the doctors, because the doctors in the First Affiliated Hospital are really busy. Except for the daily rounds, most of these doctors will not wait for you in the office at other times.

For doctors, it can save a lot of inconvenience and they don’t have to deal too much with the patients’ families. They can also be responsible only for the patients themselves.

However, in situations like this where we want to inquire about the patient's family, we are unable to find them immediately.

"Is there anything you want to ask the patient's family? I'll have someone call the patient's family over right away."

Director Liao also realized that something was wrong. When Wu Xiaofu saw the malaria patient, his expression was not so serious. Could it be that he was in trouble again?

Even if someone is infected with malaria, it wouldn’t be that serious. At most, he would be the one in trouble. How could Wu Xiaofu be in trouble?

He didn't quite understand, but he knew Wu Xiaofu's abilities. Just like the last malaria patient, he had asked the infectious disease department for a consultation before he thought it might be the case. But when Wu Xiaofu came and took a look at the medical records and the patient, he was able to confirm it.

Even so, Wu Xiaofu is still working as a surgeon.

To be honest, I really can't help but admire him.

Wu Xiaofu nodded and came to the bedside. There was one thing that Huang Xiaojiang was better than the previous patient. At least Huang Xiaojiang was awake, unlike the previous patient who had problems with consciousness and could not communicate at all.

"Hello, I'm Dr. Wu Xiaofu from the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery at our hospital. Director Liao asked me to come for a consultation. Can I ask you a few simple questions?"

Perhaps because of the fever, the patient looked particularly tired. He had his eyes closed when he noticed Wu Xiaofu and the others coming in. Only when he heard Wu Xiaofu talking did he reluctantly open his eyes. He has been staying in this hospital for nearly two weeks.

The condition did not improve, and Huang Xiaojiang himself realized that something was wrong with him.

Now I feel very happy that the doctor starts to take me seriously.

"Hello, Director Wu. Please feel free to ask anything."

Wu Xiaofu was relieved to see that the patient was still conscious. "Where were you before you got sick? Did you eat anything you had never eaten before?"

The patient looked thoughtful after hearing this, and slowly said, "I have already discussed this with Doctor Fang. Since I just came back, I don't have time to cook for myself, so I just eat out, fast food burgers and so on. I love noodles, and I usually eat a lot of noodles, but there is nothing else.

It was something I ate before, or maybe one of those restaurants didn’t cook clean food, and it made me sick. I think that’s probably the case.”

Just got back!

Wu Xiaofu keenly grasped this key word, "When you said you just came back, where did you come back from?"

"I work for a construction company. My last project happened to be overseas, so the company sent me there. I got sick and was hospitalized. Actually, I had only been back from overseas for three or four days."

foreign!

Wu Xiaofu's doubts deepened. "Which country?"

"It's a country in Africa. It's a very chaotic place. Fortunately, our country's projects outside are still guaranteed. I can basically go out for a breath of fresh air once a week. I usually don't go out when I'm in the engineering team. There are times when I hear the sound of artillery fire while I'm sleeping."

Ah!
Feizhou!
Wu Xiaofu's face changed when he heard this. He looked at the medical record and wondered why such important information was not written down.

Turning around to look at Dr. Fang, it was obvious that the person asking about the medical history was Dr. Fang.

Facing Wu Xiaofu's gaze, Doctor Fang was also a little confused. "Director Wu, he didn't say these when I asked him at that time. But are these important? Do you suspect that the patient contracted the disease from abroad?"

He shook his head. Epidemiology is a very important part of clinical medicine. He was a little speechless. How come Director Liao has to deal with everything? If it was in the respiratory department or something, the doctors there would definitely not be so unvigilant.

Feizhou!

There are so many viruses in that place. Wu Xiaofu had a bad feeling before, and now after hearing what the patient said, his bad feeling became even stronger.

Director Liao was still somewhat alert and felt something was wrong.

"Director Wu, do you have any ideas?"

Wu Xiaofu pulled Director Liao aside.

"Director Liao, have you ever thought about what disease this patient might have if it wasn't malaria, given his history of returning from Africa?"

Wu Xiaofu has already reminded him to this extent. If Director Liao still doesn't realize something, then he would be a complete failure.

Possibilities flashed through his mind one after another, and his face changed drastically in an instant.

"You mean, Ebola!"

"No, it's impossible. This is absolutely impossible."

As soon as he finished speaking, Director Liao quickly denied it. It was not that it was absolutely impossible, but he knew that if it was true, then something really had happened, and this matter was far beyond what the malaria patient could do.

At this moment, because of Wu Xiaofu's statement, Director Liao had some hope that Huang Xiaojiang was really infected with malaria.

Because if it really is Ebola, then the sky will really fall.

This is not malaria, which can only be transmitted through mosquito bites, blood and mother-to-child transmission, but a highly contagious disease that the world must pay attention to. The patient is in the First Affiliated Hospital, and has been hospitalized in their department for twelve days.

Once the diagnosis is confirmed, the scope of the disaster will be so wide that Director Liao shudders when he thinks about it. (End of this chapter)
