After saying the "adjournment of the meeting", Lin Yan left the conference room early, returned to the office, and stood in front of the window.

Outside the window, it was quiet and quiet, but Lin Yan's heart was not calm, the most serious SARS incident in Chinese history was about to break out after all. What should he do, and what can he do? Suddenly, he remembered a person—Zhong Nanshan.

Zhong Nanshan, an academician of the National Academy of Engineering, has devoted himself to the clinical, teaching and scientific research of respiratory diseases for 50 years, and is one of the leaders of the discipline to promote the development of respiratory diseases in China and move towards the international frontier.

However, he is a sports player, studying at Tianjing Medical College in his early years, and has outstanding sports achievements, winning the 400-meter run in the college sports meeting.

If it's just a college championship, that's it, but people in the first National Games in China, the national competition, and broke the national record of the 400-meter hurdles with a score of 54.4 seconds.

Now Zhong Nanshan stopped doing it again, he said: Sports to strengthen the body is the quality that the people should have, and it is everyone's own business, if it is regarded as an honor, even if it is good, it is still too small to win glory for the country. Medicine is my favorite, whether it is saving lives or helping the wounded, or being a scientific research physician in a university, as long as you can research scientific research results and make benefits for the general public, this can be regarded as making a real contribution to the country.

Zhong Nanshan is not just talking, starting from graduating from university and staying in school to teach, then went to the hospital as a physician, attending physician, director of the research institute, and then went to the University of Edinburgh in the United Kingdom to study abroad, until he became an academician of the National Academy of Engineering, a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and so on.

This is a lifetime, practicing the spirit of Bethune, and dedicating his whole life to great medical work.

Let's not talk about the scientific research results that have been researched (anyway, we can't understand them, the first prize and the second prize or something, the results that can solve the actual pathology for the people), just say that he is 68 years old this year, what did he do during the SARS outbreak.

History is always strikingly similar.

On December 22, 2002, Zhong Nanshan's First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical College admitted a strange pneumonia patient from Heyuan, Guangdong Province, who had been treated with various antibiotics to no avail. Two days later, all eight medical staff who had treated the patient in Heyuan were infected.

This was the first case of SARS that Zhong Nanshan came into contact with, and he was shocked. Years of medical experience told him that this was a special infectious disease that deserved a lot of attention. He then participated in a team of experts to investigate in Zhongshan City, and in his report to the Guangdong Provincial Department of Health, he named it SARS.

However, in Guangdong, the spread of the disease continues, but there is no effective drug to control it, and he is also at a loss and clueless about this atypical pneumonia. At that time, no one had ever seen this disease, and Zhong Lao could only follow experience. Try various treatments while looking for the cause.

Zhong Nanshan offered to the Guangdong Provincial Department of Health, "Send all the seriously ill patients to me!"

He set up a temporary ward at his Guangzhou Institute of Respiratory Diseases to focus on the most critically ill patients. Every time a patient arrived, he checked it himself, not even wearing a mask, just telling the patient, bear with it and don't cough.

……

Lin Yan knew that at this time, the current SARS in Guangdong was out of control, and he searched for all the information about Zhong Nanshan on the Baidu website from memory, and he wanted to get in touch with Academician Zhong to provide some favorable suggestions for the treatment of SARS cases, saving some detours.

Lin Yan searched for a long time but did not find Zhong Nanshan's contact information, and only found the phone number of the hospital.

Lin Yan had no choice but to call it, and after calling several times, he finally got through.

"Hey, hello! This is the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical College, where is it?" The operator's voice was in Cantonese, and although Lin Yan understood, he was still a little uncomfortable.

"Hello, Doctor, is Academician Zhong here?" Lin Yan asked.

"Chinese medicine, which Chinese medicine doctor are you looking for? We are the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical College, not a traditional Chinese medicine hospital, you made a mistake! Hey, come right away......

Lin Yan could hear the sound of a call coming from the hospital, and it was obvious that every medical staff was busy. I didn't express myself clearly when I spoke just now, and the other party misunderstood, so I hung up the phone in an instant. Lin Yan was not angry, adjusted his mood, waited for a few more minutes, and dialed it again.

This time it was a different voice, "Hey, hello, where?"

Lin Yan cleared his throat, and said in a deep voice: "Hello, I am looking for the director of your hospital, Zhong Nanshan, I have something important to tell him, can you help convey it?"

As soon as the other party heard the standard Mandarin, and reported the name of the dean as soon as he came up, he was a little confused for a while, but he still said very politely, "You are looking for Dean Zhong, but our dean is not in the hospital now, but at the research institute, if you have something urgent, please call him directly!"

"Okay, do you have Dean Zhong's phone number, call him to me!" Lin Yan asked.

The doctor over there, when he heard that the other party didn't know Dean Zhong's call, seemed to be a little reluctant, and said, "I don't have Dean Zhong's personal phone number either, otherwise, you can call again at another time, we're very busy now......"

"Wait, don't be in a hurry to hang up the phone, my words below are very urgent and very important, I hope you must help me convey it to Dean Zhong Nanshan, this matter is a matter of human life, it is related to the latest infectious acute pneumonia patients, I am not alarmist, please write down my phone number, 132****5678, if you meet Dean Zhong, just say that there is a very reliable news about the recent atypical pneumonia treatment breakthrough program important call, be sure to let him call me back, thank you!" As soon as Lin Yan heard that the other party was going to hang up the phone, he immediately interrupted him without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, and said hurriedly.

The doctor on the other party's wiring was indeed stunned at this time, with intuition, this may be really a very useful news, and immediately said: "Please repeat the phone number again, I will write it down, and I will tell him as soon as I meet Dean Zhong." ”

Lin Yan repeated the phone number again, and waited for the other party to patiently write it down before ending the call.

In the next few days, Lin Yan was very concerned about the progress of the SARS disease in Guangdong, and was very much looking forward to the call from Dean Zhong, but he did not receive a call for many days, so Lin Yan decided to go to Shenzhen immediately to meet Tengxin Ma Huacheng, and then go to Guangzhou to find Zhong Nanshan directly.

Time is of the essence, and although I am not a medical worker, with a trace of historical memory, even a little bit of useful information is in vain.
