The intern's lawyer wife

Sun Qin turned to Wang Min and asked, "Any other questions?"

"Wait a moment, Xiao Jian, come with me."

Wang Min pulled Jian Yifan aside and scolded, "What nonsense are you spouting!"

He is, after all, a veteran pediatrician; she wouldn't be mistaken.

"Dr. Wang, I'm sorry for being so talkative. I just looked at the patient's palm and found a few red rashes. The child's mother didn't mention it, and I thought it might mislead your diagnosis, so I stopped you to take another look."

Jian Yifan's attitude is very proper.

Interns should act like interns.

After examining the patient with a responsible attitude, Wang Min confirmed the presence of a rash and did not feel ashamed of being a senior expert. Just as Jian Yifan said, the patient's mother had overlooked this detail.

Speaking is an art, and a hospital is also a workplace; this intern knows it very well.

"It's very common for children to develop rashes when they have a fever or a cold, did you know that, Xiao Jian?"

"I see, this is maculopapular rash, right?"

Wang Min looked at the intern and asked, "How did you figure that out?"

Jian Yifan: "According to the book, maculopapular rashes can be flat or raised small bumps. Flat ones are called 'macules' and raised ones are called 'papules'. Together they are called 'maculopapular rashes'."

The interns next to them nodded and took notes of the key points.

Wang Min paused for two seconds, feeling... was this intern giving a lesson to other interns?

Zhang Ke, chewing on his notebook, muttered, "How come he suddenly knows everything! Could it be that the books I'm reading are different from his?"

Sun Qin hurriedly asked, "Is this maculopapular rash serious?"

Wang Min said calmly, "The rash itself isn't scary. Let's get a blood test first to see what's causing it."

Jian Yifan: "Director Wang, should we add a throat swab nucleic acid test to check if it's influenza A virus?"

Wang Min: "Isn't this the peak season for H1N1 flu?"

Jian Yifan: "The main problem is that the child has a high fever, rash, and poor spirits. It's not currently the peak season for H1N1 influenza in my country, but someone in his family just returned from abroad. If we rule that out, it shouldn't be a bad thing. Sorry, I've said too much again."

Sun Qin nodded repeatedly: "The child's father works in the United States and came back last week."

Wang Min looked at Jian Yifan curiously: "How did you tell you came back from abroad?"

Jian Yifan pointed to the toy car the child was holding: "This Lightning McQueen just went on sale at Disney in the US last week, it's not available in China yet."

Wow ~

The interns looked at Jian Yifan in surprise, their eyes filled with admiration.

Zhang Ke's notebook was chewed to pieces.

He... is terrifying!

Wang Min: "Since the child's father has returned from abroad, it is indeed necessary to conduct further screening. Please take a throat swab nucleic acid test."

Sun Qin took the child and went out.

Wang Min then said to Jian Yifan, "You are very observant."

"Of course," Jian Yifan said. "As a doctor, one must not only observe, listen, inquire, and palpate, but also be good at discovering other factors that may cause symptoms."

The interns took notes once again.

Wang Min: ? ? ?

It really felt like he was giving a lecture to the interns.

Twenty minutes later, the lab report arrived.

Wang Min opened the document on the computer and looked surprised.

"Positive for H1N1 nucleic acid? But negative for H1 and H3 subtypes? What's going on? They can't detect any of the known subtypes?"

Upon hearing this, the interns were taken aback.

Although they had zero clinical experience, they were all medical students and knew what these words meant.

Jiang Yining tentatively asked, "Dr. Wang, is it a novel, unknown virus?"

"If the machine isn't malfunctioning, then it's most likely!"

Jian Yifan: "Last night I saw on a foreign forum that there have been some cases of severe pneumonia of unknown cause in the United States. The initial symptoms are very similar to this child's. The cause is unknown. The child's father has also returned from abroad. Could it be that disease?"

Simplicity and complexity are both guiding principles.

Because H1N1 has not yet become widespread, regardless of how virulent the disease is, it is expected to have a major global outbreak next year and then spread to China, posing a huge challenge to the medical capabilities available at that time.

No one would believe me if I told them.

It is also impossible to prevent the outbreak from happening now, so banning foreigners from entering the country is obviously unrealistic.

Therefore, H1N1 will still break out, and it will be six months from now. Jian Yifan still has time to stop this virus from endangering the safety of the Chinese people.

That is—medicine!

A highly effective drug for treating H1N1.

I remember when the outbreak occurred globally, countries around the world invested heavily in research and development.

There was a specific drug back then called "Tamiflu," or oseltamivir phosphate.

It was a patented drug developed by the Swiss pharmaceutical company Roche, and at the time it was the only one of its kind in the world, with no generic versions.

This medicine is not only expensive, but there is also a significant shortage of it.

In 05, when the avian flu outbreak occurred, we negotiated with Roche to authorize the import of their drugs. They were arrogant and looked at us like we were beggars.

In 09, after the H1N1 outbreak, my country's medical capabilities were limited at the time, but all scientific research efforts were devoted to finding a substitute for Tamiflu. It was a time-consuming and laborious process, but it was eventually successful, although it also cost the lives of many patients.

and so……

Conquer H1N1!

Developing a vaccine ahead of schedule, six months is enough time. By then, when the global pandemic is raging, China will be able to enjoy peace and tranquility!

Wang Min thought for a moment and said, "That makes sense. Xiao Jiang, you should arrange for the child to be hospitalized for isolation and observation. Xiao Jian, you've read the reports from abroad, come with me to find Vice President Gao."

Jian Yifan took the thermos and left with Wang Min.

In the corridor.

Wang Min: "Xiao Jian, you are very meticulous. As a doctor, this shows your responsibility to your patients. I will learn from you."

"No, no, Director Wang, you are a god of pediatrics. I am just an intern. You are learning from me. I am not worthy of such praise."

"Everyone has strengths, and it's only right to learn from others' strengths," Wang Min said. "When you meet Vice Dean Gao later, don't say too much. Vice Dean Gao doesn't like being pointed at."

"OK."

Jian Yifan blew on the floating tea leaves and took a sip of green tea.

I still miss the special West Lake Longjing tea that was a staple food in my past life.

……

at the same time.

The Vice Dean's Office.

A pot of specially supplied West Lake Longjing tea.

Vice President Gao Wei is currently studying the various measures for optimizing the hospital submitted by Director Liu of the Medical Affairs Department, Director Li of the Teaching Office, and Director Zhao, who is in charge of medical affairs.

"Who suggested it?"

Gao Wei put down the proposal, glanced at the three directors, and finally fixed his gaze on Director Liu: "Old Liu, you go ahead."

Director Liu stood up, and this time, Director Li next to him did not stop him.

Gao Wei made a downward gesture: "Sit down, sit down, don't be nervous. This dean is very approachable and down-to-earth."

Director Liu sat down, placing his hands on his knees: "It was suggested by an intern. We've compiled it and are submitting it to Dean Gao for your review."

"I've read it. It's full of nonsense, completely unproductive, and not worth mentioning. Don't show me these kinds of suggestions from interns anymore. I'm very busy."

dong dong dong...

There was a knock on the door...
