Chapter 559: Typhus
According to statistics, since yesterday, among the members of the expert group in the four places who have symptoms similar to the plague, among them, eight members of the expert group of traditional Chinese and Western medicine in Shanghai, traditional Chinese medicine, and 12 similar symptoms in Western medicine.
Among the members of the expert group of traditional Chinese and Western medicine in Beijing, six Chinese medicine practitioners and 13 Western doctors had similar symptoms.
Among the members of the Guangshen Expert Group on Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, there are seven Chinese and Western medicine practitioners with similar symptoms.
Among the members of the local expert group of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, 13 Chinese medicine practitioners and 14 Western doctors had similar symptoms, plus almost all of the nine doctors transferred from the county hospital and the town health center were recruited and had similar symptoms.
As for the female nurses who take care of other patients, more than one-third of them now have similar symptoms, and together with the villagers who have been infected and are still alive, the number of these patients in Xiaowang Village is now nearly 600.
It would be terrifying for these 600 patients, especially those who were members of the expert group of Chinese and Western medicine, to die in the end of the plague.
Now Ye Chen, Liao Wenen, Wu Haiping, Sun Ruoshan, after discussing in the office, Sun Ruoshan immediately asked the secretary Zhou Changhai to prepare a red-headed report, and the content of the report was naturally to request the health departments of Yunnan, Guizhou, and Yunnan to transfer 100 nurses each, 50 pharmacists from various places, and a large number of Chinese medicinal materials.
In the past, the Chinese medicinal materials used here should not be too many. After all, all of them add up to a few hundred patients, which may not be as good as the number of patients in the county's hospitals.
For example, in Shanghai, the top 10 hospitals in Beijing have more than one million patients throughout the year, and even two or three million at the highest, which is equivalent to those big hospitals, where thousands of patients may see patients in the hospital every day.
After Secretary Zhou finished drafting the red-headed report, Sun Ruoshan read it carefully, and then asked Secretary Zhou to print out multiple copies, and then he stamped his own seal, signed his name, and sent it to the Yunnan Health Department, the Guizhou Provincial Health Department, the Sichuan Provincial Health Department, and the Ministry of Health, as well as the Sichuan Military Region.
After Ye Chen, Liao Wenen, and Wu Haiping came out of it, Liao Wenen looked at him and said, "My medical skills are obviously not as good as yours, why did you push it to me and Dean Wu just now?"
"Old Liao, I'm still young, even if I am in charge, they still don't accept the public, what's more, now that you are responsible, it is equivalent to asking me to be responsible, what's the difference!" Ye Chen looked at the two of them and said.
"Do you really not attach importance to these fame and fortune?" Wu Haiping asked strangely.
In the medical field, many people want to win the Nobel Prize in medicine to prove themselves, and in China, many people want to become the next hero like Han Nanshan.
It is not only fame and fortune, but also the status it brings is incomparable. However, Ye Chen, a young man, was actually not interested in those, which really surprised Wu Haiping.
"Dean Wu, I'm still young, I still like to keep a low profile, it's better for my life!" Ye Chen said. After listening to this, Wu Haiping understood Ye Chen's thoughts a little.
Now it is really as Ye Chen said, if you want to solve the current situation now, the only way is to give all the infected people who have the plague and treat the patients with the right medicine.
Therefore, Ye Chen took Wu Haiping and Liao Wenen to see the members of the Chinese and Western medicine expert group who were infected first. When the three of them first came to the tent room of Professor Tan Tieniu of Xinhua Hospital, a member of the Shanghai Chinese medicine expert group, Ye Chen had already smelled a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine.
Ye Chen already knew that Professor Tan was infected with the plague, and now that there was a strong smell of Chinese medicine in it, Ye Chen was sure that he was prescribing medicine for himself to drink.
The southern plague that broke out six years ago was really like that, and many old experts in traditional Chinese medicine prescribed medicine for themselves. Of course, there are some veteran experts who believe in medicine and not self-medicine and let other doctors prescribe medicine for them.
Ye Chen, Liao Wenen, and Wu Haiping opened the door of the tent, and when they entered it, they saw Professor Tan drinking medicine there, and he kept turning over and vomiting yellow water, seeing his situation, Ye Chen and Wu Haiping hurriedly went over to hold him and asked, "Professor Tan, what do you think?"
Tan Tieniu looked up and saw that when these three people came over, his consciousness was still normal. It's just that his face looks pale now, probably because of his condition.
"Dean Wu, Dean Liao, I'm really sorry for the country, I don't know that I was actually recruited, and I may not be responsible for the situation of those villager patients. Tan Tieniu said bitterly.
Although when they were on the military plane, they had been prepared for a long time and guessed that there might be such a day, but they did not expect that only a week had passed, and they would have such symptoms as they are now.
"Old Tan, you'll be fine!" Liao Wenen looked at him and comforted.
However, now Tan Tieniu himself is not clear about the current situation. Judging from the week he has been here, and the patients he is in charge of, I am afraid that it will be difficult for those patients and himself to recover.
This is precisely the blow to these experts themselves, which has caused a certain blow to their self-confidence, and in such a situation, it will undoubtedly cause even greater panic.
Ye Chen didn't ask anything else, for the first time, after reading Professor Tan's own prescription, and now grabbing his hand and showing him his pulse, Ye Chen looked at him and asked, "Professor Tan, you are infected with typhoid fever!"
"Yes, it's just that I drank two doses of medicine, and it didn't work!" Professor Tan said helplessly.
"Ye Chen, what kind of typhoid fever does he belong to?" asked Liao Wenen.
"Old Liao, this is not ordinary typhoid fever, it belongs to typhus. Ye Chen looked at the two and said.
Maybe Ye Chen didn't know that it was this kind of typhoid fever that caused the outbreak of the plague in Moscow that year, and almost destroyed the city of Moscow. However, there is a case of typhoid fever in Xiaowang Village, and he has found that there are many types.
"Typhus?" Liao Wenen and Wu Haiping couldn't believe it.
However, judging from Ye Chen's medical skills and the previous situation of prescribing medicine to other patients, Ye Chen did not make any mistakes.
"Professor Tan, do you feel now, cold and heat, irregular hair, in the afternoon or night, more strict, sweating sticky hair, chest and flank fullness, bitter mouth and dry throat, vomiting yellow water, red tongue, yellow greasy. Also, at first, there was severe pain in the head, pain all over the body, and high fever. ”
When Ye Chen just finished speaking, Professor Tan looked at Ye Chen speechless in surprise, because the illness that Ye Chen was talking about now was exactly how he felt.
I thought that I had dialectically concluded that it was typhoid fever and that it should be effective to prescribe medicine to drink it, but to Professor Tan's own feeling, it was the kind that became more and more strict.
"In traditional Chinese medicine, typhoid fever and paratyphoid fever belong to the category of temperature and dampness, but typhus fever belongs to the distemper spots, and the pestilence spots are more inclined to warm diseases. Therefore, the prescription you prescribed should have no effect, and it did not prescribe the right medicine!" Ye Chen looked at the three of them and said.
In fact, in traditional Chinese medicine, many plagues in ancient times were directly called typhoid fever, influenza, and warm disease, which were not as clearly distinguished as they are now.
Even, in ancient times, plagues, influenzas, fever diseases, plagues, etc., were collectively referred to as plagues.
However, what exactly is the cause of these diseases, those famous doctors in Chinese medicine still say in books. For example, the most famous is Zhang Zhongjing's "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases".
