Chapter 15: Dr. Xing (7)

I recognize this light, it is the mother of the white moon deer. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The silhouette of the white mother has some characteristics, although it is also dressed by ordinary middle-aged women, and it is slightly bloated. But she walked with a relatively large pace, step by step very powerfully. The body is also thick, and the back is a little thick, and it looks like he often does farm work on weekdays, and he has strength hidden in his bones. Speaking in a spirited manner, a shrewd and capable old lady.

I watched Bai Mu's light walk in from outside, said hello to Lao Chen, and then walked straight to the door of the small pharmacy.

"Yo, Lao Xing, let's talk to the village chief again." She glanced back at Village Chief Chen, then asked with a smile.

"Yes," Dr. Xing's voice was actually quite exclamational, "I love to chat with the village chief, or... Kind of an idea. ”

Hearing this, I couldn't help but slander, thinking to myself, Lao Chen's good tea is like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit, did you not see it, or pretended to be blind?

"Oh, Lao Chen is just honest and willing to work, how can there be any culture." However, Bai Mu didn't care about his appreciation of Village Chief Chen at all, and waved her hand and said. Then before the other party could refute, he hurriedly said, "Hey, Lao Xing." You grab me some cinnamon, cloves, angelica, astragalus or something, my daughter is coming back, I'll stew her an elbow. She loved it when she was a child. ”

"Hey, hey." Doctor Xing shut up, and his figure gradually faded, dissipating into the air along with Bai Mu's figure.

I thought to myself to see if Dr. Xing's notepad was still there, so I quickly turned around and went back to the room. I hadn't paid attention to him when I was rummaging through his drawer, but luckily that memory reminded me. Maybe there will be some important content recorded by Dr. Xing on it.

I pulled the drawer to the maximum, and the little notebook lay quietly in the back of the drawer.

But when I opened it, I was a little disappointed: it turned out to be an accounting book. The above items are neatly recorded all of the income and expenditure of the pharmacy, which year, month, and day, what drugs so-and-so bought, how much, and how much yuan on credit. There are also many purchase lists, most of which are medicines that are not commonly used or need to be specially preserved.

Based on what I have seen before, I speculate that Dr. Xing should be in charge of all medical-related things in Wangxing Village, regardless of human or animal. As long as he is sick, injected, has a headache and brain fever, and people are vaccinated against poultry and epidemics, they are all looking for him. He is the medical authority of the village.

Flipping through the back, I saw that he bought a lot of 84 disinfectant, as well as old vinegar or something. It is estimated that it was to learn the epidemic prevention measures for the prevention and control of SARS that year.

But it reminded me. I hurriedly sent a message to the headquarters and asked them to help me find the nearby town hospital and animal husbandry station to see if I could find Dr. Xing's purchase records. Although the hope is a little slim, I still have a glimmer of illusion that maybe a hospital or pharmacy ten years ago registered the doctor's prescription for his prescription drugs, and I can find his medical qualification registration.

There was no more information in my notepad, so I slipped it into my bag and bent down to pull out his large drawer containing medical records. Originally, I wanted to sit at Dr. Xing's desk and watch, but when I thought about it, I was afraid that his light would suddenly appear on the original seat, so I hurriedly walked out of the door with a drawer.

Looking at the time, it was already more than one o'clock in the afternoon, and the winter sun was finally shining on my body with a hint of heat. The small village is quiet and warm, and the distant mountains are verdant, which is quite a bit of a paradise. I took the bench out and put it in the yard, with the drawers at my feet. Filter out all the medical records that I think are related to the "flu" situation in Wangxing Village, and then arrange them in chronological order.

Although the various abnormalities that occurred in Wangxing Village are still debatable, whether it is an infectious disease or not. But since it shows some of the characteristics of an infectious disease and has a similar pattern of spread, I will first study this mysterious incident as a bad infectious disease.

The first and most important thing is to find the so-called "Patient Zero" – the first person to be infected and spread the symptoms.

One day in August 1976, a patient with a high fever came to the hospital in the small Zairean town of Yangbuku. His name is Mabalo and he is a 44-year-old church school teacher. He was diagnosed with malaria and given antimalarial drugs. Due to limited medical availability, the needle continued to be used, and many people were injected with the same antimalarial drugs.

Soon, a terrible disease spread through the hospital and quickly bloodied more than 50 surrounding villages. People's internal organs dissolve, vomit out their intestines, and bleed to death. An incomparably tragic outbreak has erupted in a town in northern Zaire.

That's Ebola (Zaire subspecies), and Mabalo is its only patient zero.

I skimmed through the medical records cursoryly, and at first glance, there were three people with the earliest medical histories: Hua Xiu'e, Bai Fenjin, and Li Tianhao. The three people were the first to develop symptoms such as rashes, headaches, and chest tightness, and basically only then did other villagers develop similar symptoms. If nothing else, Patient Zero was among them.

In that case, the one I suspect the most must be the one who has the closest relationship with the planetarium - Bai Endean's brother Bai Ende. Maybe he went to the observatory? Or maybe it was the White Moon Deer who transmitted this symptom to him? But I don't have enough clues to prove any hypothesis at the moment. I need to follow his footprints every step of the way, combing through everyone he's ever met, to understand how he, or someone else, Patient Zero, spread the "disease" throughout Wangxing Village.

At the moment I don't know much about this person's situation. Through a few words, I learned that he should have been 35 years old at the time, tall and intellectually disabled, but he could still take care of himself and make a career out of showing fruit forests to others. But as for his life trajectory and interpersonal relationships, it is still a blank for me.

However, at this time, the query results from the headquarters came back. As I expected, they didn't find any useful registration information for drug purchases, after all, pharmacies rarely follow the requirements to check the doctor's prescription and register.

Another news is that they did not find any registration information about Xing Shiming in the national medical qualification database, which means that he is practicing medicine without a license. This wasn't particularly surprising to me, since even when he ran to the railroad tracks, he said he was just a schoolboy in a drugstore. Now it seems to be more than just a sad word.

But this raises new suspicions about the Wangxing village incident: if Dr. Xing did not have a medical certificate, it would theoretically be impossible for him to report the "flu" epidemic in the village to the local health and epidemic prevention agency. Could it be that the communication between Bai Yuelu and Cen Xiao that I heard before, and the report mentioned in it refers to this? However, they are only researchers at astronomical observatories, so how can they be qualified to influence the work of the health and epidemic prevention department?

There is also the possibility of creeping out of the dark corners of my heart, whispering in my ear like a demon, and I feel a chill creeping up my spine:

Perhaps, in order to prevent the spread of the flu epidemic, it was not the health and epidemic prevention department that closed the village at all?
