Chapter 62: The sequelae of bigwig-level treatment
Dead.
Chen Qiang squatted in the toilet, plugged his nostrils with tissue paper, and kept ringing the sound of "呑呑" in his ears, some of which were made by him and some by others.
After a long time, he stood up and walked out of the bathroom, at this time he only felt that his legs were weak and his eyes were full of stars.
It was diarrhea and it was the sixth time he had come to the toilet.
Chen Qiang left the toilet, but the sound in the toilet did not stop, and someone rushed over.
"It's not half diarrhea, it looks like food poisoning!" Chen Qiang said secretly in his heart.
Obviously, Chen Qiang is not the only one who has food poisoning, and there are still several squatting in the toilet now.
This night was a torment for many people, and the toilets in the athletes' dormitories were even more crowded.
There was an athlete in Tianjin who was directly dehydrated and was carried to the hospital early the next morning.
Chen Qiang's condition is much better, he walked into the hospital by himself.
Chen Qiang recalled the champion treatment he received at dinner, and suddenly regretted that the chef who served the rice at that time served him a lot of extra dishes, among which there must be the root cause of his food poisoning, and he didn't know if he took a dish that was contaminated. If I had eaten less at the time, I would have felt much better now.
This can be regarded as the sequelae of the bigwig-level treatment!
The sudden outbreak of large-scale food poisoning caught the organizers of the National Games off guard, and the Organizing Committee of the National Games immediately arranged for the athletes to seek medical treatment, and of course, the cost of medical treatment was also paid by the Organizing Committee.
If it is just one or two athletes who have diarrhea, it is likely that they are not adapted, but a large number of athletes have diarrhea, either because of infectious diseases, or because of unclean food in the canteen. In order to avoid being an infectious disease, all athletes with diarrhea were hospitalized for observation.
The end result is that it's not an infectious disease, just food poisoning. Otherwise, the whole of Hangzhou will be in trouble. There will be so many spectators at the National Games, if it is really an infectious disease, it will not be long before the entire Shanghai, Nanjing and Hangzhou will indeed be shrouded in infectious diseases.
This is the first time that Hangzhou has held such a large-scale competition, more than 2,000 athletes came at once, the organizers have no experience in reception at all, the meals are too much, and the quality of the meals is not good.
Of course, the most important thing is that the health situation in the country was not good at that time, and the people did not have enough awareness of hygiene.
Before the Patriotic Sanitation Campaign, the sanitation situation in China was very bad, many people still drank raw water, and open defecation was a common phenomenon. For example, in rural areas, there are no toilets at all, and when you need to solve the problem, you can go directly to the field, and you can also use it as a field where fertilizer water does not flow to outsiders.
It was precisely because of the poor sanitary situation at that time that there was a patriotic health campaign later. Nationwide, garbage is removed, canals are dredged, toilets are built, wells are rebuilt, sewage ponds are filled, the four evils are removed, and people are required to pay attention to hygiene, keep it clean and tidy in daily life, and boil water for drinking.
The role of the patriotic health campaign is still very strong, the health of the people has been significantly improved, and many infectious diseases have been controlled. Even now, many medical and health institutions still have institutions such as the "Patriotic Health Council Office".
……
Straight to the point.
Chen Qiang was hospitalized, and he could only reluctantly abstain from today's 200-meter sprint rematch.
And it was not enough to be hospitalized for only one day, Chen Qiang had to be hospitalized for two days, so that he missed even the 400-meter race.
For Chen Qiang, his National Games are effectively over.
At that time, the medical technology was not as good as it is now, in the 21st century, if you have food poisoning, take some medicine, and if it is more serious, you will be fine the next day.
However, in 1930, penicillin had not yet been purified, there was no cure, and food poisoning was much slower to treat than later generations.
Two days later, Chen Qiang was finally discharged from the hospital and returned to the athletes' dormitory.
There are significantly fewer people in the athletes' cafeteria.
It is said that after the outbreak of large-scale food poisoning, many athletes did not dare to eat in the cafeteria for fear of eating again, so the restaurant near the venue was extremely prosperous and full every day.
Even some residents who live nearby have started a business and put up a sign of "cooking with rice". Some teams also simply order food from other places to avoid food poisoning after eating another one.
Chen Qiang continued to eat in the athletes' cafeteria, anyway, he no longer had a competition task, and he didn't have to worry about food poisoning affecting the state of the subsequent competitions.
It doesn't cost anything to eat in the athletes' cafeteria, which can save a lot of money. In the wake of the food poisoning incident, more and more athletes are eating out, which has also pushed up prices at nearby restaurants, some of which have temporarily increased their prices by three or four drinks. Chen Qiang didn't have much money, so he was naturally reluctant to give up three or four times the money to eat.
After the food poisoning incident, the athletes' canteen will definitely be rectified, and the so-called eating a trench will grow a wisdom, and the National Games Organizing Committee will definitely not allow the second food poisoning incident to occur, and the meals in the canteen will also be more strictly controlled. The Preparatory Committee sent people to keep an eye on the cafeteria, for fear that there would be problems with the food again.
And there are fewer people eating, the workload of the chef is also less, and the cooking is more attentive, they are all a group of cooks, and the quality of cooking for 2,000 people is definitely different compared with cooking for 1,000 people, when 2,000 people eat, the number of cooks is insufficient, and now there are fewer people eating, and the chefs are busy, and the quality of the meals is naturally improved than before.
……
After eating, Chen Qiang planned to go out for a walk and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the West Lake, but he didn't expect Cheng Jinguan to come to the door.
Cheng Jinguan's family has money, he does not live in a dormitory, but lives in a hotel outside, and after hearing that Chen Qiang was discharged from the hospital, he immediately came to see Chen Qiang.
"I was going to see you in the hospital, but I've been competing for the last two days, so I didn't have the time, and now my competition is over and you've been discharged." Cheng Jinguan said.
"Thank you." Chen Qiang then asked: "What was the result of the competition?" ”
Liu Changchun won the 200m and 400m titles, with his 200m time of 22.8 seconds and 400m time of 52.6 seconds, which is also a new national record in the 400m. Cheng Jinguan said.
"Liu Changchun is really powerful!" Chen Qiang couldn't help but sigh.
22.8 seconds and 52.6 seconds are obviously not Liu Changchun's best results, he is injured, his condition and speed will be affected, but even so, Liu Changchun still set a new national record in the 400 meters.
"What about you? How about the 200m and 400m runs? Chen Qiang then asked.
"I finished third in the 200m, but I don't know if this third place will have a chance to go to Japan and participate in the Far Eastern Games." Cheng Jinguan said.
Chen Qiang thought about it, recalled, and then said, "You can definitely go to the Far Eastern Games." ”
"Don't comfort me, if I win the second place in the 200 meters, maybe I may still be able to participate in the Far Eastern Games, the third place is a bit difficult, at most I am a substitute, I should not be selected." Cheng Jinguan said with a little loss.
Of course, Chen Qiang will not tell Cheng Jinguan that he really represented the Chinese team in this Far Eastern Games in history.
I only heard Chen Qiang speak: "Don't forget, Liu Changchun is injured, he is taking a big risk to participate in the competition with an injury this time, the Far Eastern Games will be next month, I don't think it is possible for him to participate, so a place will be vacated." ”
Liu Changchun did not participate in this year's Far Eastern Games, the reason is that he participated in the National Games with an injury, and his body could not bear the competition of the Far Eastern Games in a short period of time. So after the National Games, he went back to Northeastern University to recuperate.
The two chatted a few more words, and Cheng Jinguan took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Chen Qiang.
"What is this?" Chen Qiang looked down at the piece of paper, on which was the image of a man dressed in parishioner clothing, in addition to the words "Quaker cereal".
"Quaker cereal! It's only 1930, and Quaker cereal has been sold to China, right? Chen Qiang said secretly in his heart.
Cheng Jinguan on the other side went on to explain: "This Quaker cereal is an American product, yesterday, someone advertised outside, this is the coupon they sent, the contestants, coaches, referees, and those who see it have a share, you can take this coupon, you can go to the Hangzhou YMCA Department of Western Restaurant to eat a Quaker cereal for free." I thought you had just been discharged from the hospital and needed to make up for it, so I gave you my coupon. ”
Chen Qiang was about to express his gratitude, but Cheng Jinguan took out something else, which was a toothbrush.
"Not only foreign goods are being promoted, our domestic products are not to be outdone, Hangzhou Domestic Products Factory Federation is also engaged in promotion, as long as it is an athlete, take the number plate to register, you can draw a branch, each branch has a domestic gift, some have woolen wool and cloth, and some of the worse can also draw candy and tooth powder, I smoked a toothbrush and gave it to you!" Cheng Jinguan said and handed the toothbrush to Chen Qiang.
Chen Qiang had a surprised expression, he didn't expect that in 1930, there would be such a thing as a lottery.
Chen Qiang's mind suddenly became active: "Anyway, I don't have a competition task now, otherwise I will go to draw a prize tomorrow, if I can draw a piece of fabric, I will just make a new dress to wear!" ”
