Chapter 14: The Doctor is Worried
It was already nine o'clock in the evening when I returned from the Infectious Disease Control Center in the suburbs to the government hospital in the center of Kenema.
It was too late, and Nan Zhiqiao and Ye Zhenzhen decided to stay at the guest house where Dr. Mu's team was located.
The guest house is located next to the government hospital in the center of Kenema, and the accommodation is one of the best in the city.
Before going to the guest house to rest, Nan Zhiqiao and Zhen Zhen take Dr. Sky back to the government hospital.
At the gate of the government hospital, Dr. Sky had just gotten off the SUV when Dr. Merck from the emergency room rushed over to Dr. Sky and asked, "Is Aelous infected with Ebola?"
Dr. Sky shook his head, and Dr. Merck unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, the worried look on his face eased slightly, and said to himself: "Fortunately, it is not an Ebola virus infection, when I was rescuing Elous, his blood was splashed everywhere, I didn't wear a mask, in case it was Ebola, I might have been infected." ”
Dr. Sky asked worriedly, "Did you have any wounds or anything on your body during the rescue?"
Dr. Merck: "There are no wounds, but a few drops of the blood that Elous vomited splashed in my eyes. ”
Hearing this, Dr. Sky, Nan Zhiqiao, and Zhen Zhen all "groaned" in their hearts, many pathogens can be transmitted through mucous membranes.
Seeing that everyone's faces were not right, Dr. Merck asked worriedly, "What? Is there any problem? Could it be that Ellus died of a more terrible disease? What was the cause of Ellus's death?"
Dr. Sky patted Dr. Merck on the shoulder comfortingly and said, "Don't worry too much, the cause of Aelous's death has not yet been investigated, pay attention to your physical condition these days, if there is any problem, we will solve it together." ”
Dr. Sky was not comforted, but after such comforting words, Dr. Merck became even more nervous and muttered, "Not only me, but also the nurses who participated in the rescue." ”
Dr. Merck, Dr. Sky, and many of the health care workers at the government hospital had lived through last year's Ebola outbreak and knew the horrors of the beginning, a highly contagious contagious disease with a fatality rate of nine out of 10.
And the symptoms of Elous before his death are very similar to those of Ebola infected people, so their contagiousness and fatality rate may be the same, thinking of this, Dr. Merck's face is heavy.
Dr. Merck was anxious to know the cause of Irus's death, and asked Dr. Sky, "You are the director of the infectious disease department, you should be able to find out the cause of Elous's death quickly, right?"
Doctor Sky tugged at the corners of his mouth and comforted, "With Doctor Nan's help, the results will be found out soon." ”
Dr. Merck looked at Nan Zhiqiao, a yellow-skinned and black-haired Asian, tall and handsome, the best-looking Asian man he had ever seen, and very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
Dr. Merck struggled to remember, and suddenly remembered that the handsome Asian man in front of him had seen him in a medical journal he had read, and he was a world-class expert in infectious diseases, and that magazine had a picture of him, so it felt familiar.
Dr. Merck took the initiative to greet Nan Zhiqiao, and after expressing his welcome, he stared at Zhen Zhen next to Nan Zhiqiao, a fair-skinned Asian beauty, standing with Nan Zhiqiao, handsome men and beautiful women, very eye-catching.
Dr. Merck was still worried about whether he would be infected by Aelous, and enthusiastically wanted to help with the investigation, "When you are investigating, if there is anything you need my help with, just come to me." ”
Dr. Sky looked at Nan Zhiqiao and asked, "Today's autopsy of Aelous's body has not found anything, what should I do next?"
Nan Zhiqiao: "It will take some time for the results to come out, and before the results come out, we have to find out what Elous's usual living environment is, where he has been to before the onset of the disease, what abnormal things he has been exposed to, and who he has come into contact with before coming to the hospital after the onset of the disease, these are all questions to be found out in the on-site epidemiological investigation. ”
What Nan Zhiqiao just said was consistent with what he said at the training meeting a few days ago, and Dr. Sky felt that this was a good opportunity to apply what he had learned, and hurriedly agreed: "I will try my best to investigate these, Doctor Nan, will you join me to do this on-site epidemiological investigation?"
"I've had other arrangements lately. Nan Zhiqiao explained the reason, "This on-site epidemiological investigation will be completed by you first, and I will give you the results in time after the test results of the specimens come out." ”
Dr. Sky: "I'll let you know the results of any investigation I'm going to do." ”
Dr. Merck also accosted him, "I'll help when I have time." ”
After discussing the cause of Elous and the on-site epidemiological investigation, everyone went back.
Nan Zhiqiao and Zhen Zhen stayed overnight at a nearby guest house, and that night, Nan Zhiqiao, Dr. Mu and Professor Bavar also discussed the clinical trial of the Ailuz and Ebola vaccines in person.
While the three of them were discussing things, Ye Zhenzhen took a hot shower in the guest house room by herself, and waited for Nan Zhiqiao to finish her business and say "good night" to her face before she lay down on the bed and fell asleep alone.
——
Early the next morning, Nan Zhiqiao drove back to Freetown Liberty City with Zhen Zhen in an off-road vehicle, where both of them had this trip abroad to help.
Everything went according to plan, the daily assistance mission was completed smoothly, and Dr. Sky would send the results of the day's investigation to Nan Zhiqiao via email every day.
Over the course of three days, Dr. Sky investigated the epidemiological data of Elous's life very clearly.
Elous, male, 42 years old, of mixed Lebanese and African descent who lived alone in a small town called Keis, on the outskirts of Kenema.
Elous divorced three years ago, and his ex-wife went abroad with their twelve-year-old son, and the two did not see each other for three years.
Case Town, surrounded by mountains on three sides, facing the river on one side, surrounded by forests and rivers, there is a lumber mill in the north and south of the town, and a lumber mill in the south is called "Nangu Timber Mill", which is invested and opened by Asians, and the boss behind the scenes is Nanmu Group.
The lumber mill in the north of the town is called "North Eagle Timber Mill", which is run by a powerful local family, and this family has many chain supermarkets and shops in the local area, and this "North Eagle Lumber Mill" is one of the industries.
Unlike ordinary lumberjacks, Irus is a middle-level manager of the "South Valley Lumber Mill", with a relatively high salary, and is usually considered to be free of food and clothing.
In addition to working in the lumber mill every day, Elous has a hobby in his free time, hunting in the forest.
The town of Keith is surrounded by primeval forests that are home to a variety of tropical animals, and Elous hunts for the most intelligent animals in the forest, the monkeys.
