Come on, Dr. Wu

Ebola virus, also known as Ebola virus.

This is a very rare virus that was first discovered in the 1970s, also in Africa.

People at that time were still unfamiliar with the virus. People were always experiencing illness, so they always forgot about it. Many people thought it might be the same illness they had suffered before.

But this virus is really different. It is a highly contagious virus that can cause Ebola hemorrhagic fever in humans and other primates.

Ebola hemorrhagic fever caused by the Ebola virus has become the most deadly viral hemorrhagic fever in the world today.

This is a fibrous virus. Once infected, symptoms will appear including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, skin color changes, body aches, internal and external bleeding, fever, etc., and most of the symptoms are initially caused by digestive system symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.

Therefore, the first department that patients are admitted to is usually the Department of Gastroenterology.

This can easily lead to problems. Gastroenterological diseases usually last for a long time and may take a week or two to cure. During this delayed time, the patient's condition is likely to worsen.

Especially in China, since the chance of this virus invading is very small, no one cares.

However, the hospital has a set of procedures for preventing and controlling this virus. The first step is an epidemiological investigation. That is, when patients visit the outpatient clinic, they are asked whether they have been to any place where they might have contracted infectious diseases.

Of course, procedures are procedures, but that doesn’t mean all doctors will follow the procedures.

We all know the situation in the outpatient department of the First Affiliated Hospital. Doctors are busy as tops every day and have to work overtime. Even this does not necessarily guarantee that every patient can be seen. Who is willing to spend time investigating epidemiology, unless the patient's symptoms arouse the doctor's suspicion, or the patient takes the initiative to provide some information.

Just like what Huang Xiaojiang said just now, coming back from outside would immediately arouse Wu Xiaofu's vigilance.

Otherwise, even Wu Xiaofu would not usually ask these questions in the outpatient clinic, especially for some simple diseases, he would basically just check the box.

I didn't hear it and just treated it as if it didn't happen.

But this refers to outpatient treatment, not hospitalization. When you are hospitalized, you have to ask epidemiologists carefully. So, if this situation occurs and Huang Xiaojiang is really diagnosed, Dr. Fang really cannot escape responsibility.

You should know that after being infected with this virus, the mortality rate basically ranges from 50% to 90%, and there are many causes of death, the most important of which are stroke, myocardial infarction, hypovolemic shock or multiple organ failure.

The biosafety level is 4.

The biosafety level is divided by the World Health Organization according to the different degrees of biological hazards. There are four levels in total, with level one being the lowest and level four being the highest. This shows how terrifying the Ebola virus is.

Moreover, the incubation period of this virus can be up to 2 to 21 days, so some people with a history of studying abroad will not be able to know their condition at first. When they return and feel unwell, they will not immediately associate it with the Ebola virus, and the hospital will not care. This will definitely cause delays.

Once the incubation period is over and the main symptoms appear, it will be difficult to intervene.

In particular, the Ebola virus is highly contagious and harmful.

Ebola is one of the most serious viruses in the world, even more terrifying than HIV. Once the virus invades the human body, it is difficult for medical treatment to keep up with the speed at which the virus attacks the human body. In other words, even if you discover it in the first place and actively treat it, you may not be able to do anything to it.

What's more, it has been delayed for so long that we have to deal with it later.

Judging from the patient's condition, if it is really the Ebola virus, then he must have been infected abroad. It has been at least half a month since today. Half a month, even if all treatments are used, it may not be possible to catch up with and kill the virus even if he runs to death.

The most important thing is that the Ebola virus is highly contagious. If it is not prevented and controlled in time, it can easily cause a large-scale outbreak. Therefore, the Ebola virus is also known as one of the most deadly viruses.

Now, in front of them is a person who is very likely infected with the Ebola virus. How can they not be frightened? For half a month, he has been left here without any protection. Doctors, nurses, other patients and staff, family members, and so on come and go in the ward.

No one knows how many of them are infected, and no one knows how far the disease has spread.

In fact, you see, as soon as Director Liao made this guess, the doctors and nurses standing here all trembled.

The virus does not recognize people. If it is really the Ebola virus, it doesn't matter whether you are a doctor or a nurse. No one who appears here today can escape. Not to mention wearing a mask or anything else, they will be attacked indiscriminately. Maybe they will be the next to be infected, and given the contagiousness of the Ebola virus, the probability is very high.

Think about how terrible the Ebola virus is. Even doctors can't help but feel scared at this time.

Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!

The phone rang and Wu Xiaofu picked up the call. It was Rong Qiao.

"They said it doesn't look like malaria. The examination hasn't been completed yet, but based on their experience, at a glance, it shouldn't be wrong. What's the matter, Xiaofu? Do you suspect that someone in the same ward is infected with malaria parasites?"

After listening to Rong Qiao's words, Wu Xiaofu's mood became even more serious.

"Teacher Rong, if it was malaria, it would be fine. This patient has a history of epidemics in Africa. He showed symptoms just after returning. Now it has been a full half month. I took a look at the patient's condition and the symptoms basically match. I suspect he is infected with the Ebola virus."

what!
Rong Qiao almost fell to the ground. He stood up with a hum and felt the blood rushing to his forehead. For a moment, he couldn't even speak and his whole body began to tremble.

Rong Qiao once went to Africa to support medical work, and it was because of his visit to that place that he knew more about the horror of the Ebola virus.

He went to the place where the Ebola virus was infested. Not to mention other things, a doctor who came to provide support died because of the Ebola virus. Rong Qiao still remembers the horrific situation at that time.

Now those long-forgotten memories come flooding back to my mind.

However, he did not allow himself to lose composure for too long and hurried to pull himself together. He was the dean of the hospital, and this incident was happening in the hospital. He had to step up and control the situation to the minimum, minimize the spread of the disease, and try to save the patient's life.

"Xiao Fu, listen carefully. From now on, the entire hospital will begin the emergency plan. The Department of Gastroenterology will be sealed off at level one, and the entire hospital will be sealed off at level two. I will contact the infectious disease department and report to my superiors. You are in the Department of Gastroenterology now, and I can only leave it to you, Xiao Fu, you."

Rong Qiao felt a little reluctant when he said this. After all, Wu Xiaofu was the youngest and most promising director in the hospital. What if something really went wrong?
Moreover, although Wu Xiaofu is good at treating illnesses, that depends on his expertise. Wu Xiaofu does not have much experience in the Ebola virus.

Thinking of this, Rong Qiao felt a little regretful and thought that Wu Xiaofu should be isolated first. "Teacher Rong, I know, leave this to me, and you can arrange the outside. Although it has not been confirmed yet, in this kind of situation, it is better to kill the wrong person than to let him go. I found the patient, and I speculated on his condition. I will arrange the scene."

Wu Xiaofu heard Rong Qiao's hesitation and simply spoke directly.

When he first had this speculation in his mind, Wu Xiaofu might have felt fear and hesitation, but after he got over the shock, Wu Xiaofu had only one thought in his mind: I am a doctor, a doctor who cures illnesses and saves lives.

It’s already this late, if he doesn’t go, who will?
Rely on Director Liao? Looking at Director Liao's current situation, to be honest, Wu Xiaofu really doesn't trust him.

"Xiao Fu, protect yourself."

Rong Qiao heard the determination in Wu Xiaofu's words and stopped being pretentious. Now time is life.

After hanging up the phone, emergency arrangements were made. At this moment, it seemed that the entire Donghai City's medical system was in motion.

The gate of the First Affiliated Hospital was suddenly closed, leaving many patients and their families confused. What was going on?
In the past, employees of the administrative department, who could only be seen going to and from get off work, began to appear in every corner of the hospital at this moment, calming people's hearts and coordinating various departments. They must not let the patients and their families suffer even worse consequences due to panic.

Severe infectious diseases, specialized screening, emergency isolation.

When these words appeared in the ears of these people, an inexplicable sense of panic came over them.

Xiao Zhu is just an ordinary patient. The reason why he was standing in the outpatient hall today was because his throat had been uncomfortable for three or four days. He couldn't bear it anymore and came to the hospital. He just finished queuing up in the outpatient clinic and was diagnosed with pharyngitis. He got the medicine and was ready to leave. He thought he would be fine after going home and taking the medicine, but who would have thought that the door that was so close to him was suddenly closed.

Standing in the middle of the hospital lobby, Xiao Zhu glanced around leisurely.

While looking around, Xiao Zhu suddenly heard the voices of doctors talking nearby. Xiao Zhu was very sensitive and noticed an unusual tension and panic from the faces of these doctors.

You know, emotions of tension and panic are contagious. Xiao Zhu couldn't help but stop and listen carefully. The panic seemed to be transmitted by the air, coming quietly and making his heart beat faster. He heard the rapid breathing and anxious whispers. These sounds seemed to pass by his ears, arousing his curiosity and worry.

Eavesdropping on the doctors' conversation, his heart was beating fast. He began to look at the people around him, and then he discovered something that frightened him even more. It seemed that expressions of panic and tension appeared not only on the faces of those doctors, but also on the faces of everyone around them. It seemed that expressions of fear and doubt filled everyone's face.

"It's a highly contagious disease! Ebola!"

Xiao Zhu seemed somewhat familiar with the latter, but he couldn't remember it very well. However, he could still understand something about highly contagious diseases. Seeing some people looking at each other in bewilderment, with lingering fear on their faces, he couldn't help but become nervous. At this moment, he felt that he was stuck in a quagmire, and no matter how he struggled, he could not get rid of this uneasy atmosphere.

Xiao Zhu's eyes began to flicker, as if looking for a glimmer of hope.

He thought of his family who were still waiting for him at home, and a feeling of worry gradually spread.

"Open the door! Why are you locking me up? I want to go home. Quick, open the door for me. Open it!"

……

Many shouts were heard and the hospital seemed to be in chaos. Some hospital staff were organizing and guiding people, but the situation seemed to be getting worse.

Everything around him gathered together, and Xiao Zhu couldn't help but close his eyes, with all kinds of ominous thoughts in his mind. He imagined the groans of patients in the hospital and the cold atmosphere, and these images seemed to keep appearing in his mind. The cries and wails of the patients echoed in his ears, making him feel even more depressed.

Especially the three words "Ebola", which were quickly popularized.

Ninety percent mortality rate.

This data was just spoken out by others and then transmitted into his head.

Xiao Zhu's breathing became rapid, and he seemed to be suffocating. He tried to calm himself down and swallowed his saliva. However, this panic was not something he could suppress just by wanting to.

Not only could it not be suppressed, but it began to spread throughout his body, making him feel like there was nowhere to escape.

Although he tried hard to hold it back, his body trembled involuntarily.

This was Xiao Zhu's first time to the First Affiliated Hospital. He had never had any serious illness before and almost always went to a small clinic. Today was his only time to the First Affiliated Hospital. Standing in this unfamiliar environment, he seemed to be imprisoned in a nightmare. The horror of the Ebola virus was spoken of by people around him and then heard by him.

These voices made Xiao Zhu feel the hidden pressure from the surroundings, like an invisible wall trapping him. He looked around helplessly, hoping to find a way out. At this time, Xiao Zhu hoped that there was a door that opened, and hoped that someone would tell him that this was all a joke and that today was April Fool's Day.

However, when he opened his eyes again, everything was still the same. The panic was like an invisible hand that kept strangling his throat, making him feel suffocated.

He tried to take a deep breath, but each breath made him more anxious. He felt a tightness and a solid pressure in his chest, as if a huge rock was pressing on his heart. He tried to control his emotions, but the harder he tried, the more he felt his strength gradually draining away.

Xiao Zhu suddenly felt that he could no longer control his feet, and he ran towards the door of the outpatient hall. Even though the door was closed, Xiao Zhu just wanted to escape from this tense environment as soon as possible.

However, looking at those people who knocked on the door frantically but were persuaded to go back to the hall, his legs seemed to be rusted and he could not move. His heart was beating rapidly in his chest, as if it was about to jump out. His eyelids drooped heavily, and his eyes were filled with tears of helplessness and fear. He could only watch everything around him, unable to do anything.

He tried to control his emotions, but panic enveloped him like an invisible force, making him unable to extricate himself. He felt his breathing become rapid and shallow, as if being strangled by an invisible hand. His face was as pale as paper, and there was a hint of helplessness and fear in his eyes.

His body was shaking even more. He tried to stay calm, but every deep breath he took made him feel suffocated. Panic was like an invisible rope tied around his throat, making it unbearable. His body began to lose strength, and his legs felt slightly weak, as if he would fall down at any moment.

His lips trembled as he tried to hold back his emotions. However, the panic still surged into his heart like a tide, and he couldn't extricate himself. He felt as if he was in a horrible world, and everything around him made him feel desperate and terrified.

In the hospital, an atmosphere of panic spread. No one could control their emotions, and the fear in their hearts surrounded them like a dark cloud, making them feel that there was nowhere to escape.

"It hurts. My head hurts."

Xiao Zhu couldn't help but speak, covering his head with his hands, and thought unconsciously, "Could this be a sign of being infected with the Ebola virus?" (End of this chapter)
