A doctor who travels through two eras

Chapter 175 Qin County Plays Tricks

"Father is dead, come back quickly."

The four-word phone call was sent from the New Telegraph Building on West Chang'an Avenue to distant Guangqi.

The next day, Qin County received the telegram. It was correct that the telegram was sent to Lin Sanqi and others, but the county had opened the envelope of the telegram in advance and checked the contents.

Deputy County Chief Huang, who was in charge of health, had a headache and said to Chief Hu of the Public Security Bureau next to him:

"What can we do? The capital is asking for someone. I opposed sending a telegram to the Capital Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Who cares if they are spies? How could a spy be interested in a place like Qin County? Are they here to kill mosquitoes or to dig oysters?"

Director Hu was also a little embarrassed:

"County Magistrate Huang, this is also an organizational procedure. If a stranger suddenly shows up, who can guarantee that he is not a hidden spy? After all, the person on the island wants to counterattack."

"What should we do now? Comrade Lin Sanqi's unit is here to ask for him. Look at what the telegram says: 'Father has died, come back quickly'. I think it's just an excuse."

Director Liu of the Health Bureau sighed:
"We can't be sure whether the information in the telegram is true or false. It's probably an excuse. Otherwise, it's impossible for such a coincidence to happen. But we're just afraid that if Comrade Lin Sanqi's father is really dead, and we don't tell him, that would be like repaying kindness with enmity."

Another leader in the meeting room said dissatisfiedly:

"Comrade Lin is a cadre and a member of the Communist Party. How could he not have this awareness?
If the epidemic in Xiang Commune cannot be controlled and spreads, not only Qin County, but also Lingshan, Shangsi, Liangqing and other counties will suffer. This is a population of over a million.

So I suggest that the telegram be withheld. When the epidemic is over, we will release Lin Sanqi. Besides, the capital is far away, and if the Chinese medicine hospital is unhappy, we in Qin County are not afraid of them!"

Everyone in the conference room was silent, but in fact everyone agreed with this proposal in their hearts.

I don't have the ability to treat the plague, and now finally a living god has come, working hard without complaint and without asking for any reward. Who wouldn't like such a free worker?
To put it bluntly, if a person does not care about himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. The leaders of Qin County must ensure the interests of Qin County at the first instance.

The thing that Lin Kucan feared the most finally happened.

Qin County was not in a hurry, but the Capital Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine was. Dean Shen, Chief Kong and the Lin family waited anxiously for a whole day, but they did not receive a reply from Lin Sanqi until the lights were turned on at night.

Dean Shen knew that Qin County was determined to keep Lin Sanqi.

This made Dean Shen both relieved and angry.

The good news is that Lin Sanqi does indeed understand medical skills.

Whether it was the Lingnan School of Traditional Chinese Medicine inherited from their ancestors or the Western medicine learned secretly, the letters of praise again and again could prove that Lin Sanqi, or the Lin family, had reservations, and now the truth had been revealed.

As the director of the hospital, it's a good thing that I will have an additional employee who understands medical skills.

In 59, there were few traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, and even fewer Western medicine practitioners. Doctors who were proficient in both Chinese and Western medicine were even rarer.

Dean Shen felt that there was no other doctor in the country who was both knowledgeable in medicine and able to get food. He must be a treasure that he would do his best to win over and pamper.

What makes me angry is that Lin Sanqi is too bold. If he asks you to go on a business trip, you should just quietly do the purchasing.

If you want to eat and drink, taking a trip is no big deal, and your company will reimburse your travel expenses.

Even if you want to take a small kickback during the purchasing process, or eat two meals of fat meat from the farmers, that's fine. As long as you are not caught on the spot and can hide it from everyone, you are still a good revolutionary comrade.

But this guy likes to go wherever there is excitement.

He didn't believe that with Lin Sanqi's cleverness, he would not have asked about the plague in Qin County in advance? Even if he didn't ask, when he arrived at the epidemic area and saw the hell on earth, wouldn't he turn around and run away?

As a result, this guy not only did not run away, but stayed in Qin County as a volunteer?

Dean Shen cursed angrily: "Tell me, is this kid smart or stupid?"

Jin Caifeng kept wiping away tears:

"This child is just stupid. It's a plague, a plague from the south. It's hot, humid and stuffy. Once it breaks out, it's highly contagious. I saw it in my hometown back then. A large number of people died. It was very scary.

Before liberation, there was a plague in Huadu. At that time, all the city gates were closed and no one was allowed to enter or leave. We looked down from the city wall and saw densely packed corpses. Even many people from the disaster relief team and the porridge distribution team died. "

No matter what kind of plague it is, there is no one that is not scary. Even decades later when medical technology is highly developed, the only option when encountering a plague is to seal off a city.

Lin Gancao and Lin Duzhong were also there to comfort their mother.

In fact, as long as the wife is a sensible person, there will often not be any major conflicts between brothers. At critical moments, Lin Duzhong still cares about his younger brothers.

Lin Kucan thought a lot and calmed down, knowing that it was useless to be anxious at this time.

His evaluation of his three sons was: the eldest was foolish, the second was cunning, and the third was a smart guy.

So he thought that with his youngest son's intelligence, he would not rush forward if his life was really in danger. He was not so smart. Smart people are more afraid of death. Since his youngest son dared to go to the epidemic area as a volunteer and treat people, he must have his own secrets to avoid being infected, or if he was infected, he had a way to treat himself.

Then there is nothing to worry about. It is true that worrying too much will lead to confusion.

At this moment, the Buddhist Lin Kusen came back, and his IQ once again occupied the top position in his mind.

Now that the matter has become a big deal, the hospital leaders are all focusing on Lin Sanqi. So at this time, they not only have to worry about their son's safety, but also have to cover for him.

Life is long, and we can’t let our youngest son deal with the investigation team all day long.

Some things are okay to hide from parents, but they cannot be hidden when facing an investigation by the organization. It would be terrible if the youngest son really is a hidden little spy.

(In fact, Lin Kucan had no idea that Lin Sanqi had bribed the hospital leaders. They would not report Lin Sanqi as a suspected spy. Everyone was waiting for his food to save their lives.)
Lin Kucan pretended to comfort his wife and said:

"Alright, alright, stop crying. We are a great Lingnan School, so a small plague is no problem. Xiao Qi has been familiar with medical books since he was a child, and has learned the skills of a boy. If you can show us the secret recipe of our Lingnan School, any plague can be cured with medicine."

After Lin Kucan finished speaking, he squeezed his wife's hand hard. After years of marriage, they still had some tacit understanding.

Sure enough, although Jin Caifeng had a lot of questions in her mind, she did not refute.

Lin Gancao and Lin Duzhong did not react at first, because they indeed started learning medical books, including Lin Sanqi when he was 5 years old.

But no one knows that this Lin Panax notoginseng is not that Lin Panax notoginseng. The fake ones only have a basic understanding of Chinese medicine, but it will be difficult to use Chinese medicine to treat diseases.

Lin Kucan said this to the hospital leaders present.

Sure enough, Dean Shen and Kong Shuihu had an expression of "as expected" after hearing this. After all, they come from a family of traditional Chinese medicine, and it's normal for them to have learned medicine since childhood. Who would dare to go to the epidemic area without some skills?

"If Qin County refuses to release him, what should we do? Should the hospital arrange for someone to go to Guangqi to ask for his release?"

Kong Shuihu still had his own concerns. After all, they were his soldiers. As a leader, he didn't want anything to happen to his soldiers. The big collective was not just talk.

Dean Shen thought for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up:
"Got it. I'll ask my old leader for help. If our words don't work, then we have to listen to our superiors' superiors, right?"

After saying that, Dean Shen immediately picked up the phone: "Hello, put me through to the headquarters..."

Almost all cadres in the 1950s had experience in military service, so comrades looking for comrades was the most common way of interpersonal communication and the most effective network of contacts.

The next day, a call was made to Guangqi, and then the Qinlian Special District received a call from its superiors, which was then forwarded to the Qin County level.

By the time the telegram was delivered to Naxiang Commune, it was already the seventh day that Lin Sanqi had been helping in the epidemic area.

Under Lin Sanqi's command, order in the entire Naxiang Commune began to be restored.

At this time, Lin Sanqi and Village Chief Lei personally brought a group of commune cadres and supporting doctors, grabbed handfuls of lime and began to disinfect the place where the patients had temporarily lived.

Without pasteurized water, this most primitive method of disinfection is the only one available.

After seven days of diagnosis and treatment, the epidemic in Naxiang Commune has been basically under control. With the help of the high-tech antibiotic ofloxacin, the diarrhea symptoms were quickly brought under control.

For patients who received particularly good results from the medication, diarrhea was stopped almost within a day.

It has to be said that for patients who have not experienced antimicrobial contamination, the effect of antibiotics can only be described as "magical."

Although there were deaths, the number of deaths has dropped from 30 to 40 a day to three to four a day now.

Those who cannot be saved are in very serious condition and there is no way to save them. In the absence of an ICU, Lin Sanqi has no particularly good solution.

As the number of patients decreased, the number of "temporary wards" also began to decrease slowly, but the places where the patients had stayed and the feces pools where they had defecated were all heavily polluted areas.

If we want to completely eliminate infectious diseases, there is another important step, which is to carry out large-scale disinfection and cut off the transmission route. As long as there are no new patients, eliminating the epidemic will be a quick process.

Lin Sanqi wore a layer of N95 mask inside the white cotton mask, as well as disposable isolation suits, gloves, a hat, eye masks, etc., literally arming himself to the teeth.

Then he picked up a bamboo basket, grabbed the lime with one hand, and started spreading it with the other hand.

Behind him, a team of more than 50 people were carrying out comprehensive disinfection of every corner of the small mountain village where Naxiang Commune was located.

This team was led by Lin Sanqi. Seven days ago, everyone was trembling with fear, but now everyone is full of confidence and each one is working harder than the other to spread the lime.

At this moment, Deputy County Magistrate Huang shouted from afar:
"Doctor Lin Sanqi, are you there? There's a telegram from the capital, please come over quickly~~~"

Lin Sanqi was busy and sweating profusely. Although he was safe in his protective suit, it was really hot. When he heard someone calling him, he looked up blankly.
