Chapter 487: Only Three Hours Left
"Okay, I'll try it too." Watson said.
Li Zifan was very surprised, he didn't expect things to go so smoothly. In fact, even if the Ebola virus is captured by Fahrenheit, it will not be of much benefit to Fahrenheit. After all, the Ebola virus is mainly in poor Africa, and the patients are from poor families. But Li Zifan forgot that Watson was a doctor.
Doing things is not always measured by benefits. Because Watson was not a businessman, but a doctor. This is why Watson offered to join the medical team without even thinking about it.
But Watson also had a request, and he went on to say, "I would like to be able to do the research work alone." This means that we at Fahrenheit will set up a separate R&D team to conduct research on the Ebola virus. After all, we are a civil institution. There will be some inconvenience in communicating with the official agencies of the city organizations with us. ”
"That's fine. However, it is hoped that there will be some appropriate exchange of studies between the two sides. After all, there are some ways we can complement each other. The CDC is also experienced in the study of infectious diseases. Li Zifan said.
"That's fine. However, we are Chinese medicine practitioners and prefer a quieter environment. It's not like you're delaying too much time because of something unnecessary. When will I get my sample? In addition, I would like to do a physical examination of the patient. After all, treating a disease is not exactly the same thing as suppressing and killing a virus. ”
Treatment only needs to get the virus out of the patient's body, while inhibition kills the virus, which requires killing the virus. Viruses can be killed by ordinary physical methods. But treatment. However, it is necessary to consider the patient's endurance.
"I need to contact the CDC for their opinion. Because this Ebola virus is very contagious, there is a great risk of direct contact with patients. Now the patient is completely out of isolation. Those who have been in recent contact have also been quarantined and need to be determined if they are infected with the virus. Li Zifan said.
"Good. I'm waiting for your news. Watson said.
Huang Sujuan, director of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, was the leader of the Ebola virus medical team. She was surprised by Watson's request: "How can this be done?" Scientists in the United States have found that the Ebola virus that is now circulating is a variant of the original Ebola virus and has a stronger ability to infect. Direct contact with a sick person can easily lead to the spread of the virus. When the time comes, will Dr. Hua also be isolated? I am against that. After all, Dr. Hua is a Chinese medicine doctor, and he still doesn't know enough about the Ebola virus. At that time, Dean Wan proposed to involve Dr. Hua in the research group. I have reservations. ”
"Dr. Hua is not ready to join the research group. Fahrenheit is ready to organize a TCM research group on its own. After all, there is a big difference between Chinese medicine and Western medicine in the treatment of diseases, and I support his approach. Now they're going to come and take a sample and diagnose the patient, and I hope you'll be able to cooperate a lot. As for your statement that Dr. Hua is a Chinese medicine practitioner. I don't know anything about the virus. I don't think that's accurate. Is HIV a virus? Now Fahrenheit TCM has a cure. Ebola virus. Western medicine has also been studying for so long. No effective treatment has been found. Maybe Fahrenheit will have an unexpected gain in treating the Ebola virus with traditional Chinese medicine. Li Zifan said.
"Since the city has decided so, I will naturally cooperate vigorously." Huang Sujuan was angry. But he didn't dare to send it to the mayor, but the tone was a little unpleasant.
Li Zifan didn't bother to care about this, the matter was decided, his task was basically completed, and whether the Ebola virus could be finally overcome would not have much impact on him. And once the Ebola virus is overcome, it will be a merit for him. Not only did he respond to emergencies, but he also overcame an international problem under his leadership.
When Watson came to the quarantine area with the medical team, Huang Sujuan did not give him a good look. However, what Watson wanted to do, he tried to cooperate as much as possible.
"Dr. Hua, before you carry out the operation, I would like to tell you some information. Now, according to our examination, it is found that the Ebola virus in the patient is a new variant type, which is more than 10 times more contagious than the original Ebola virus. At that time, there had already been three cases of infection among people who were on the same plane as the patient. It is not entirely possible to rule out whether the remaining close contacts were infected. How this new form of Ebola virus spreads is not yet clear. It's very dangerous for you to be in direct contact with the patient. Huang Sujuan said.
"I want to treat a patient, I don't release him directly, how can I diagnose him? Without a diagnosis, how can I know the changes in his body? Although the route of transmission of the virus is not particularly clear at this time, there should be very strict precautions here. The spread of the virus is nothing more than a few ways of spreading. Although this virus is scary, it should not be exaggerated. Watson said.
"Anyway, I've said what I should say, and as for you not to believe it, I can't help it. The city asked me to cooperate with your work. I won't stop you from doing anything, but you can't blame me if something happens. Although this Huang Sujuan looked unhappy, her heart was still good.
Watson smiled: "Director Huang, don't worry. If something happens, we are responsible. ”
Watson and several people were very well prepared, and when they entered the patient's room, they were all wearing chemical protective suits. Watson is bold in doing things, but he is not reckless. Although he is confident that the virus will be excluded from his body, once the virus spreads, it will indeed cause great problems.
Wan Chao and Ou Yangming rushed over: "Director Huang, why did you let them in?" Isn't this playing the piano indiscriminately? ”
"It's not that you asked Fahrenheit to participate in the research that day. The city invited them over. They don't plan to work with us. The people of the Fahrenheit Group don't look down on us. They are to do their own research independently. The boss of the Fahrenheit Group personally led the team on the field. Huang Sujuan said.
"They're a little bit arrogant. thought that they had cured several serious diseases, and they were the best in the world. Ou Yangming was very annoyed by this situation of being despised by others.
"Ou Yangming, don't talk nonsense. Although the Fahrenheit Group's approach is very domineering, their strength is indeed the best in the world. There are several diseases that the world can't help but be overcome by them, if this is not strength, then what is the strength? AIDS, cancer, rheumatoid, motor nerve disorders, etc., are not diseases in one direction at all, and it took them all less than a year to conquer. This strength is not comparable to them at all. Maniacs are also capital. Wan Chao said.
Watson walked into the ward, and Wang Jingyu was staring at the ceiling. His eyes were full of frustration and disappointment.
"Don't worry too much, it's not completely hopeless right now." Watson said.
"I heard that some of the passengers on the same flight as me were infected with the Ebola virus. Did I infect it too? Wang Jingyu asked.
"I've heard that, too. But whether you infected it or not, I don't know. However, you should not be mentally burdened. Even if it's because you're sick, you don't mean it. Watson said.
"I had a fever before I came back, and I got better after the injections and medicines. I didn't think it was an Ebola infection. I knew I wouldn't be coming back for a while. Now I'm hurting others. I just want to apologize to them now, and I don't have a chance. Wang Jingyu said guiltily.
"If they are reasonable, they shouldn't blame you. Anyone can get sick. No one wants to be a source of infection. And don't worry too much. Since Ebola is also a virus, there is always a way to deal with it. I'm going to take some samples from your body and study them now. I'm going to give you a check-up. I am a Chinese medicine practitioner. I would like to use the method of Chinese medicine to give you a check-up. In two days, I'll start trying to treat you. So, you have to build up faith now, and if you fight, you will have hope for life. Watson gave Wang Jingyu some hope.
Wang Jingyu nodded and said firmly: "Don't worry." Doctor. I'll try to survive. Not for myself, but for my wife and children. Yesterday my son was born, six pounds and eight taels. ”
"That's good. In that case, you should cooperate with my treatment. Watson said.
Watson checked Wang Jingyu's pulse and found that Wang Jingyu's various organs had been damaged to a certain extent.
Watson immediately opened the eye of heaven and was shocked to find that all parts of Wang Jingyu's body were haunted by black gas, which was already a somewhat terminally ill trend.
"No, it's too late, this disease must be treated immediately." Watson said.
The CDC's medical team quickly consulted with Watson's Fahrenheit medical team.
"It has been almost six hours since the patient's onset of illness. Virus-suppressing drugs have not been effective. The Ebola virus can go from infection to death in less than 48 hours. Time is running out for us. Huang Sujuan said.
Watson said, "I won't tell you too much, because it's too late. I had to treat the patient immediately. I hope you will cooperate. If action is not taken in time, the patient can survive for up to three hours. After three hours, there must be internal bleeding, followed by non-stop bleeding from the seven orifices, and continuous vomiting of necrotic tissue from the internal organs, and finally extensive internal bleeding and brain damage. ”
"Doctor Hua, how sure are you?" Wan Chao asked.
"All I can say is that if you don't treat it right away, the patient will die 100 percent. But now that treatment is carried out immediately, there is still a glimmer of hope for the patient. Watson said. (To be continued......)
