After Yang Liqun's explanation, Zhou Wen learned about the case.

The patient's name is Hou Baoguo, 48 years old, a migrant worker from other provinces who came to Jiangzhou to work.

As a teenager, he developed a quirky "laughing disorder" and often laughed uncontrollably.

His parents once took him to a big hospital for treatment, but due to the backward detection technology and Hou Baoguo's symptoms similar to "epilepsy", the doctor judged his case to be "laughing epilepsy".

Epilepsy is commonly known as "pig woman's wind" and "sheep epilepsy", and everyone is no stranger to typical seizures such as falling to the ground, foaming at the mouth, and convulsions of limbs.

However, typical seizures are only one of the most common manifestations of epilepsy, and seizures can be very strange.

For example, "laughing epilepsy", which accounts for 0.1% of epilepsy patients, may be a quiet smile at the onset of the disease, just smiling, or loud laughter, with high or low tones.

It's a pity that Hou Baoguo is not laughing at epilepsy, and the treatment has not improved.

It wasn't until he came back to Jiangzhou to work that the employer brought him for an examination and found an abnormality.

After further testing, it was found that Hou Baoguo obtained an extremely rare prion.

The reason why Yang Liqun called Zhou Wen over is because of the particularity of the case, which has very high research value.

"And what about him now?"

"He was in the infectious disease department, and I asked the doctor to keep him. ”

Zhou Wen heard the words and asked, "Then let's go over and have a look?"

Yang Liqun nodded, "Well, let's go." ”

Yang Liqun called his two apprentices, Wang Yan and Zhao Qichao, as well as Zhou Wen's apprentice Qin Haitao, and the five of them went to the infection department.

When he arrived at the waiting room of the infection department, Hou Baoguo sat on a stool alone, his head down and he was silently in a daze.

He was tall and thin, with dark skin, messy hair, and a scruffy beard, and he looked very decadent. A 48-year-old person looks like a 68-year-old.

The N95 mask that was issued to him was also thrown aside.

Seeing Zhou Wen and his party coming in in a majestic manner, Hou Baoguo didn't even raise his head at all, and didn't move.

Yang Liqun walked up and introduced himself and said, "Hello Mr. Hou, I'm ......"

"Hahaha......"

Before Yang Liqun finished speaking, Hou Baoguo suddenly laughed without warning.

Yang Liqun waited for him to laugh and said, "Mr. Hou, I'm ......"

"Hahahahaha......"

Hou Baoguo laughed again without warning, this time even laughing with tears.

However, anyone can see that there is no trace of joy on Hou Baoguo's face, only unspeakable pain, which makes people moved.

The needle drop could be heard in the waiting room for a while, and everyone was stung by the expression on Hou Baoguo's face.

Zhou Wen opened his true eyes to look at Hou Baoguo's brain.

More than 90% of human prions found so far are concentrated in proteins in the nervous system.

Hou Baoguo is no exception.

Zhou Wen found that the proteins of his brain's nervous system adsorbed a large number of mutant protein molecules, which were convex and concave, and were very ugly.

And Hou Baoguo's stupid behavior should be caused by these mutant protein molecules.

Yang Liqun's mouth opened, and just as he was about to speak, Zhou Wen touched his arm, then took a step forward and walked in front of Hou Baoguo, and said loudly: "Hou Baoguo, stand up!"

Yang Liqun, Qin Haitao, Zhao Qichao and Wang Yan were all taken aback by Zhou Wen.

They came to learn about the patient's condition, or rather, they wanted Hou Baoguo to cooperate with their research work.

How can you yell like that?

But to their surprise, Hou Baoguo on the stool, like a spring, stood up with a "Teng" sound.

And the "smile" on his face magically disappeared and became exactly the same as a normal person.

With a bit of trepidation and caution.

“......”

Qin Haitao, Zhao Qichao and Wang Yan were all amazing when they saw this scene.

At the same time, he was also secretly speechless in his heart, no wonder Zhou Wen became a virus expert at a young age, and it was really not covered.

And Yang Liqun also reacted immediately, Hou Baoguo should have a kind of "stress response disorder".

He has been tormented by prions for many years, not only the physical destruction of the virus itself, but also the sarcasm, ridicule, sarcasm, and even physical blows of others.

So when he encounters some specific contexts, he will have a stress response, laugh non-stop, and use it to intimidate the bad guys.

Like he said "sir".

Under normal circumstances, who would call a sloppy and unkempt migrant worker like Hou Baoguo "sir"?

In Hou Baoguo's subconscious, this is sarcasm and ridicule, so he has a stress reaction.

And hearing the commanding tone of a "foreman" like Zhou Wen, Hou Baoguo's body will also have a stress reaction.

Although he is sick, he still has to survive and work.

And those foremen will not be polite to people with "strange diseases" like Hou Baoguo, probably like Zhou Wen, yelling and scolding is their "normal way of communication".

Yang Liqun admired it in his heart.

It can be seen from here that Zhou Wen has very profound attainments in pathology.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for ordinary people to think of this in such a short period of time.

Zhou Wen didn't talk nonsense, and said straight to the point: "Hou Baoguo, we have found a rare virus in your body......"

Hou Baoguo showed a look of despair on his face and asked, "I... Am I dying?"

Zhou Wen: "You don't have to worry about this, you can't die for the time being." In your case, it's okay to be optimistic and live to be 60. ”

Hou Baoguo's gray eyes reflected a light, and then said, "You don't have to lie to me...... I knew there was no help. ”

While speaking, Hou Baoguo turned his head, reached out and wiped the cloudy tears from the corners of his eyes, and slowly sat down on the stool.

Zhou Wen yelled impatiently: "I'm a doctor, or are you a doctor, I said that if you can't die, you can't die, why are you crying?"

Also, we're all standing, you sit down, do you know what politeness is?"

Zhou Wen's words were a little softer, and Hou Baoguo was decadent and depressed, but Zhou Wen's words were a little harder, and Hou Baoguo immediately came to his senses.

He stood up and wiped the tears from his eyes, "Oooo......oo I didn't cry. ”

Zhou Wen: "Okay, there's nothing to cry about, people live to be 60 years old and die without regrets, right?"

Hou Baoguo had a relaxed look on his face, "Well, you're right... Hahahahaha......ha

Hou Baoguo couldn't help laughing again, but he still tried his best to explain: "I'm sorry, I'm ...... Hahaha......"

Zhou Wen stiffened his heart and scolded: "I know! Okay, don't laugh." ”

Hou Baoguo held back laughter.

But the tears in the corners of his eyes kept flowing, which was an instinctive reaction stimulated by the prion, not under his mental control.

Seeing Hou Baoguo like this, everyone at the scene felt very uncomfortable and deeply sympathetic.

Especially Zhou Wen and Yang Liqun.

They know that if they want to form a stress disorder like Hou Baoguo, can they imagine how much merciless ridicule, teasing, sarcasm, and sarcasm he has received over the years?

It was a purgatory that ordinary people could hardly imagine.

It's like walking barefoot on a road paved with thorns.

The word "cruel" is far from enough to describe the harm he has suffered over the years.

Yang Liqun said: "That's right, the disease in your body is very special, we hope you stay in the hospital and cooperate with us to do some research work." ”

When Hou Baoguo heard that he was going to "study" him, his face showed a look of fear, and he said nervously: "You... You are going to... Do you want to slice me?"

Zhou Wen: "......"

Yang Liqun: "......"

Qin Haitao: "......"

“......”

He actually knew about "slicing......

Qin Haitao couldn't help but say, "Who told you that research is slicing?

Rest assured, it is to draw some blood and extract a little tissue cells...... It's skin debris that is used for scientific research, and there is the use of instruments to observe changes in your body. ”

After a pause, Qin Haitao followed: "Not only will we not be able to slice, but we will also take good care of you." ”

Hou Baoguo didn't believe his words and turned his head to look at Zhou Wen.

Zhou Wen said: "He is right. You cooperate with our observation and study, and the hospital will take care of your three meals a day, and you will also receive a living allowance of 200 yuan per day. ”

Saying that, Zhou Wen turned his head to look at Yang Liqun and said, "Right, Yang Group?"

Yang Liqun: "......"

There is no problem with observation and research, with him as a senior virus expert, the hospital will most likely approve the application.

However, it is difficult to say about the subsidy, it is already good for the hospital to agree to help Hou Baoguo for free treatment, and it is really difficult for a strong man to subsidize it again.

They are hospitals, not research institutes.

In case the above does not approve, then this subsidy will have to be paid by him privately.

"Research is research, what kind of subsidy is proposed. It's really nothing to look for!"

Yang Liqun slandered in his heart, and said stubbornly: "Yes, 200 yuan a day!" Don't worry, if the hospital doesn't approve it, I will be half with this doctor Zhou." ”

Zhou Wen: "........."
