Chinese medicine doctor Xu Yang

"Huh? What's going on?" Seeing that it was time to get down to business, Xu Yang also put on a serious look.

Director Ma asked reluctantly: "How about we discuss it again? In fact, Sanqi is not impossible to discuss."

Xu Yang's eyes widened: "What are you doing, are you okay?"

Director Ma hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes."

"I went to the ICU of the hospital over there yesterday. When I arrived, I learned that this was not a single case. In addition to the patient, four of the patient's family members also had similar symptoms."

"With fever, cough, and shortness of breath, antibiotics are not ideal. Yesterday, the patient and his aunt were put on ventilators in the ICU due to respiratory failure, and two other family members were also hospitalized."

"Experts from the local hospital said that they initially treated the patient as a cold. He had fever and headache at first, but the treatment as a cold didn't work for a period of time."

"Later he was hospitalized and the diagnosis was fever. The first hospital suspected that it might be typhoid fever and scrub typhus. Shortly after admission, the patient's lungs developed shadows, which became larger and larger. He coughed and had difficulty breathing, but his white blood cells were not high. "

Xu Yang interrupted: "Wait a minute, the white blood cells are also low?"

Director Ma nodded: "Yes."

Xu Yang frowned and then thought of the elderly female patient who had been discharged from the hospital: "Go on."

Director Ma added: "Five days later, I was transferred to Foyi Hospital. On the 28th, I went to the ICU and was put on a ventilator and the best imported antibiotics, but it had no effect. They really didn't know the diagnosis clearly. , just asked us for help, so I went over to help."

Xu Yang nodded. Director Ma is an excellent expert on respiratory diseases.

Director Ma added: "When I got there, I just looked at the medical records for an hour. Oh, there are two thick stacks. Generally speaking, pneumonia is difficult to spread, but I encountered it this time."

"Moreover, the lung shadows of those two patients are very special. The lobes of both lungs are in the shape of large white clouds. The lesions occupy most of the lungs. It does not look like bacterial pneumonia. It is a bit similar to the female patient we met before."

"I suggested that they consider the infection to be caused by microorganisms other than bacteria. I think it may be a rare viral respiratory infection in the family because the medical staff were not infected."

"Then I suggested using antiviral drugs, such as ribavirin, on top of the ventilator, increasing the dosage of corticosteroids, and using gamma globulin to improve the patient's immunity."

"Let them take disinfection and isolation measures. I don't go out for consultation once or twice, but this case is indeed a bit weird. Director Xu, haven't you been doing fortune telling recently? Do you want to do it?"

Xu Yang ignored Director Ma's teasing and said: "This year's weather is abnormal and the climate is unseasonable. People are prone to getting sick, especially infectious diseases. I think you'd better report this case to the Health Department and Disease Control and Prevention Please report it to the center so that you can be prepared."

Director Ma thought for a moment: "That makes sense."

After saying that, he stood up and prepared to go out. When he went out, he didn't forget to ask again: "I really don't want to eat, we can discuss it!"

Xu Yangli ignored him and continued to read the information.

Director Ma was bored and left by himself.

However, this man was quite stubborn and continued to come to Xu Yang to check in every day, rain or shine.

Xu Yang was originally not willing to eat and socialize with others, but after knowing this nonsense, he was even less interested.

On January 2, when Xu Yang went to the ward, he happened to meet Director Ma again.

Director Ma checked in to Xu Yang's office every day, and now that there was no one in sight, he said: "Xu Yang, I'm going to the Health Department for a meeting in the afternoon, and I've also received an order to go on a business trip. I'll treat you to a meal at noon, so just treat it like it's for me. Practiced.”

Xu Yang rolled his eyes. This guy could tell such nonsense. He said angrily: "You are really promising. Will you treat me to dinner and practice for you?"

"Hehe." Director Ma smiled and said without caring, "It doesn't matter, as long as you can eat it."

"Next time." Xu Yang responded casually and left alone.

Director Ma did not forget to shout: "Remember, don't forget."

Xu Yang ignored him.

…

In the afternoon, Director Ma arrived at the hall by car.

When he arrived in the hall, Director Ma discovered that there were several other experts called to the meeting, whom he also knew. Most of them were respiratory experts and infectious disease experts.

Director Ma asked other people, and many people were confused, and some were speculating whether it was because of the recent rumors.

Have a meeting.

The leader came to the stage to speak. After a very brief opening remarks, he said: "Yesterday, our office received a fax from Heyuan Hospital, saying that in December, two patients with severe lung infections from their hospital were sent to Guangzhou for treatment."

"But during this process, medical staff who had been in close contact with the two patients all developed the same symptoms as the patients, which caused panic within the hospital."

"Especially in Heyuan, there are constant rumors and there is some panic. So we urgently invited experts to go on a business trip and go to Heyuan for consultation and investigation."

As soon as these words came out, the experts in the small conference room started talking about it.

Director Ma was also stunned for a moment, and then quickly frowned.

The short meeting in the conference room ended quickly. The hospital experts and experts from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention got in the car and rushed to Heyuan.

When they arrived at the hospital, they found that all the medical staff in the local hospital were wearing masks, hats, and gloves on their hands, but despite this, everyone's eyes showed concern.

When Director Ma and his team of experts came over, they could see the whispers of medical staff everywhere. In the past, big hospitals were very busy, and there were still many patients coming to see the doctor. But today, when I came here, such a big hospital was so deserted.

This also made the experts who came here feel a little heavy.

This time they knew clearly that the disease was contagious, so no one dared to be careless. They all put on isolation gowns, hats and multi-layer masks.

Director Ma has also been thinking about this strange condition.

Everyone entered the isolation ward, checked the conditions of the eight infected medical staff, and then came out for emergency consultation and discussion.

…

"Director Xu." Shen Yuyan hurriedly walked in and said, "Mr. Deng has come to the hospital and invites you to a meeting with him."

Xu Yang stood up immediately and asked, "Mr. Deng Tietao?"

Shen Yuyan nodded: "Yes."

"Okay, go right away." Xu Yang didn't dare to delay, and immediately stood up and walked to the conference room.

When I entered the conference room, I found that many people came, all Chinese medicine practitioners.

Seeing Xu Yang coming, they also greeted Xu Yang, and Xu Yang nodded and smiled at them. Xu Yang found his position, the first one at the bottom, closest to Mr. Deng.

Shen Yuyan found a stool and sat behind Xu Yang. She had no place and could only sit in the open space behind. Then she took out a pen and notebook and prepared to record.

After Xu Yang sat down, he turned his head and glanced at the people in the conference room. A lot of people came this time. In addition to middle-level leaders, many junior Chinese doctors also came, but they all sat at the back.

Xu Yang couldn't help but frown a little.

Soon, the door opened, and Mr. Deng with white hair stepped in. Everyone stood up to greet him.

"Sit down, sit down, you're welcome." Mr. Deng smiled warmly.

Xu Yang looked at the young man following Mr. Deng with a puzzled expression. He didn't recognize this person.

Others were looking at the young man.

The young man smiled shyly and gave a friendly smile.

Xu Yang and Shen Yuyan were also looking at him.

"Are you all here?" Mr. Deng sat down and looked at everyone in the venue with a smile. Seeing that everyone was looking behind him, he subconsciously looked back and saw this young man.

Mr. Deng smiled and said, "Oh, I forgot to introduce you to him. This is one of my disciples, named Sun Ziyi. He is here to study with me this time."

Sun Tzu Yi immediately bowed slightly to everyone.

Everyone understood.

"Sun Ziyi?" Xu Yang frowned and clicked the name.

Shen Yuyan touched his forehead and muttered subconsciously, "Why is he treated as a grandson again?"
