Chapter 159: An Epidemic Plague Caused by Tap Water
handed over Peng Shan's documents to Chen Zhongwen, Wang Xu got up to say goodbye, Chen Zhongwen and Tang Fei sent each other together, Chen Zhongwen originally planned to send Wang Xu to the door of the hospital, but after leaving the ward, Tang Fei stopped with a smile: "Mr. Chen, you go back first, I'll send Dr. Wang."
Chen Zhongwen smiled when he heard this, knowing that Tang Fei had something to say to Wang Xu alone, he waved his hand to Wang Xu, promised to do his best to get the passport, and watched Wang Xu and Tang Fei leave.
After walking out of the corridor of the ward and entering the elevator, Wang Xu said with a smile: "Dean Tang, this is something to tell me, if you have anything to say, as long as I can help, I will definitely not shirk." β
Hearing Wang Xu speak so well, Tang Feicai smiled and said: "I can't hide it, I deliberately asked Dr. Wang to be a special expert of our hospital, I don't know if Dr. Wang will agree?" β
"Invited experts?" Wang Xu was stunned for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "It's not that I don't agree, it's just that I'm busy now, and I don't have time to doppelgΓ€nger, but Dean Tang has something to do, as long as I am free, I will never shirk it." β
"Doctor Wang, you misunderstood, this specially invited expert is actually a temporary post, not in the official establishment of the hospital, and there is no need to sit in the clinic every day, in fact, Qian Lao and Yun Lao and others also hang the title of specially invited experts of our hospital, not only that, Qian Lao also hangs the title of specially invited expert of the central hospital, usually very leisurely, just need to appear when the hospital encounters any tricky diseases." Tang Fei explained with a smile.
"This is easy to say, thanks to Dean Tang's affordability, I can't be too hypocritical." Wang Xu said with a smile.
"It's really good, this invited expert, although it is a temporary position, but he enjoys some privileges in the hospital, and there is a salary subsidy, so we naturally won't let you work in vain." Tang Fei said with a smile.
"Dean Tang, I don't care much about the salary, but although I am a specially invited expert, I still have to stick to my own principles, which I hope Dean Tang understands." Wang Xu said with a light smile.
"I understand this, we will never embarrass you for a patient who violates your principles." Tang Fei nodded and agreed without hesitation, he naturally knew what the principle Wang Xu was talking about, the principle of three incurables, Wang Xu recognized it very seriously.
Accompanied Wang Xu all the way to the gate of the hospital, watching Wang Xu's car leave, Tang Fei shook his head, turned around and returned to the hospital, feeling very deeply in his heart, Wang Xu is so old, his medical skills are so good, and the future is limitless, inviting such a person as a special expert of the hospital is definitely a great thing for the hospital.
Wang Xu came to Zhongjiang, as of now, it has only been three months, that is, in these three months, Wang Xu's fame has almost spread all over the upper class of Zhongjiang, and it is even more well-known near the clinic, Tang Fei can expect that after a year or two, when Wang Xu's fame resounded all over the country, their hospital will also be stained with Wang Xu's light.
Wang Xu didn't expect Tang Fei's vision to go so far, the reason why he agreed to Tang Fei to be this invited expert was also a kind of exercise for him, after all, Fushengtang was only a small clinic, and the chance of encountering a major disease was small, and if he wanted to break through his medical skills, it was still suitable in a big hospital, but he himself could not be restrained, and Tang Fei's mention was equivalent to giving him a chance.
After returning to the clinic, there were many patients in the clinic, Zhao Kai and Peng Shan were both busy, and Wang Xu also began to help after entering.
I don't know what the reason is, there are a lot of people who are sick today, Wang Xu came back for such a short time, Zhao Kai and Peng Shan have treated a lot of patients, but there are even more people coming in at the door, and the clinic has always been overcrowded.
Since he started exercising Zhao Kai, Wang Xu has rarely done it himself, and he is only helping to grab medicine at this time, and he is very puzzled when he sees this situation, listening to the conversations of the patients below, it seems that they are all from several nearby communities.
There were so many sick people in the nearby residential area, which suddenly alerted Wang Xu, and while he grabbed the medicine, he asked Zhao Kai: "Is there anything special about today's patients?" β
"It's very strange, most of them are fever and dizziness, the symptoms are similar, and Dr. Peng and I estimate that it is a flu." Zhao Kai said while prescribing medicine.
"Flu!" Wang Xu was stunned for a moment, feeling that it was not so simple, and hurriedly grabbed a pack of medicine, asked Zhao Kai to get up, and he personally sat down to diagnose the patients in the back.
After seeing three patients in a row, Wang Xu's brows suddenly wrinkled, judging from the symptoms, most of these sick patients are warm symptoms, that is, the plague in the summer season, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a common cold, but so many people occur at the same time, and the symptoms are similar, so it is impossible not to pay attention to it.
"Auntie, when did you start this situation?" Since he was suspicious, Wang Xu naturally wanted to figure it out, and when he waited for the fourth patient, he asked.
"At five or six o'clock this morning, I began to feel dry in my mouth, and I took my temperature, more than thirty-eight degrees, and I felt a little better when I had breakfast, but after eating, I was strict again." The patient was an old lady in her sixties, and while talking, she also pulled a **-year-old child behind her: "There are only our mother-in-law and grandson at home, but I didn't expect both of them to be sick." β
When Wang Xu heard this, he pulled the child over and took a closer look, and the symptoms were the same as those of the old lady, which was also fever and dizziness, which were warm symptoms.
After a deep groan, Wang Xu stood up and asked the patients in the clinic loudly, "If you feel a fever and dizziness, raise your hand and let me take a look." β
Most of these people are from several nearby communities, many people know Wang Xu, and they are very convinced of Wang Xu, and the patients who heard the fever and dizziness raised their hands one after another, and there were more than 20 patients at the scene, and there were only two who did not have a fever.
"When did this happen to everyone?" Wang Xu asked: "Say one by one, I'll understand the situation." β
"Started last night, Dr. Wang, is there anything wrong?" A woman in her forties asked, standing up.
"I still need to know, what about the others?" Wang Xu then asked.
Others also said that most of them started last night, either at eleven or twelve o'clock in the evening, or after midnight, or at five or six o'clock in the morning.
After listening to everyone's story, Wang Xu can be sure that this is definitely not a simple epidemic surname cold, and it is true that the epidemic surname cold is infected with the surname Qiang, but it is impossible for the residents of several communities to be so coincidental, they all started to have a fever after last night.
"Auntie, think about it, before last night, was there anything unusual in the house?" Wang Xu frowned and asked the old lady in front of him.
"Anomaly!" The old man recalled for a while, and said suspiciously: "No, the water stopped for more than two hours at three o'clock in the afternoon, and there is nothing unusual about the rest." β
"Stop the water!" Hearing what the old man said, Wang Xu suddenly understood that eighty percent of the situation this time was due to the water outage this time, which means that there was a problem with the drinking water in several nearby communities.
"Auntie, do you use tap water in your community?" Wang Xu stabilized the emotion in his heart and continued to ask.
"Yes, there is a large area nearby, except for the tap water of the shops near the street, which is connected later, and we all use a tap water in these residential communities." The old lady nodded.
"Yesterday the water supply was cut off, did the water company say what the reason was?" Wang Xu asked again.
"A notice was posted saying that there was a broken pipe." A middle-aged man who was closer to the old lady said, and after speaking, he looked at Wang Xu suspiciously and asked, "Doctor Wang, do you suspect that our illness this time has something to do with that tap water?" β
"Not bad." Wang Xu nodded and said: "Although everyone's illness is not very strict, but they are all together, and basically after last night, it is definitely not a flu, so I asked the reason, if you can't figure out the reason, even if I cure you, you will still get sick in the future, and it may cause some stricter symptoms." β
Wang Xu and the middle-aged man's voice was not loud, but many people in the clinic heard it clearly, and immediately discussed, and some of them stood up at the moment: "Doctor Wang, is what you said true, if this is the case, we must ask for justice to come back, and adults will forget it, but there are still children at home." β
"That is, justice must be sought." Some people echoed that there was a lot of excitement in the clinic, and there were people coming outside one after another, and after hearing about it, they all said that they must seek justice.
"Everyone, be quiet." Wang Xu hurriedly shouted: "This matter is just my guess, I still need to confirm, which friend is willing to take me to the house to have a look, if it is really a problem with the water source, I encourage everyone to go to the water company to question." β
"Doctor Wang, I'll take you." The middle-aged man next to the old lady spoke, and the others also spoke out, willing to take Wang Xu to check.
Wang Xu stabilized the excited crowd and asked the others to wait at the clinic first, Zhao Kai and Peng Shan helped take care of it, and he went to the middle-aged man's home with the middle-aged man.
On the way there, many people in the community recognized Wang Xu and greeted him warmly, and some people also said that they suddenly had a fever and were ready to go to the clinic to see.
Wang Xu and these people nodded with a smile, told them to wait first, and walked inside with the middle-aged man, and as he walked, the middle-aged man introduced: "Doctor Wang, there are a total of three residential communities nearby, with a total of tens of thousands of people, and they all use a tap water. β
Wang Xu nodded, silent, this is also what he is most worried about, and he can't predict whether everyone is just fever, if there are other situations, things will be more complicated.
Entered the middle-aged man's home, turned on the faucet, Wang Xu took some water with his hand, put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it, and his brows wrinkled together, there is indeed a problem with this water, if you don't smell it carefully, you can't find it, smell it carefully, this water actually has some faint smell.
"Dr. Wang, how is it, is it a water problem?" The middle-aged man asked from the side.
Wang Xu stretched out his tongue and licked it, felt it carefully, and then said: "It should be a problem with water, you take a clean bottle, I'll put some on it, and send it for testing to confirm, we'll figure out a way." β
