Chapter 713: Special Patients
When Guo Xiang and the others returned to the capital, it was early in the morning, and Mu Feng and Chen Yu returned to the army.
Guo Xiang and Gu Zhennan went home with two small groups, naturally they didn't sleep well in the car last night, and they didn't go to work after asking for leave today.
The next day, I went back to the cancer hospital and brought Song Tingshen and An Zehan mooncakes made by myself and special products bought from Shanghai.
"It just so happens that I didn't have breakfast today!" An Zehan smiled and took the moon cake to eat.
"How's it going these days? Nothing, right? Guo Xiang asked.
"There's a big deal." An Zehan glanced at Song Tingshen and said to Guo Xiang in a low voice: "We have admitted an AIDS patient here. β
"What? AIDS? Guo Xiang was taken aback, at this time, it seems that AIDS abroad has only been discovered for a few years, right? How did it get to China?
"Who is it?" Guo Xiang asked.
"It's a foreigner, I heard it's gay." An Zehan shrugged his eyebrows at Guo Xiang and pouted again, "I really can't figure out how a man can like a man." β
"This, as if most people are born with a problem of sexual orientation." Guo Xiang said that she does not discriminate against homosexuals, but she does not mention it, as long as they do not harm others.
"It's from our department? Hepatocarcinoma? Guo Xiang asked.
"Well, it's early-stage liver cancer, so it should be operable. However, he also has AIDS, and the operation is dangerous, both for him and for us. An Zehan said, "I am against accepting this patient, many people are against it, I don't know why my uncle wants to accept it." An Zehan shook his head.
Guo Xiang looked at Song Tingshen, because he had a benevolent heart.
AIDS is not yet widespread, many people don't know about it, only some doctors know about it, but doctors in China don't know much about it.
Because I don't understand, I talk about mugwort and think it's easy to infect.
The rest of the disease is mainly transmitted through mother-to-child transmission, blood-borne transmission and bodily fluids, and the others are generally fine.
However, people who don't understand think that shaking hands and kissing can spread the virus, and some people even think that they can be infected by touching the sick person or even breathing in the same piece of air, and treat them as if they were viruses, and the discrimination is very serious.
In later generations, there were also many people in China, and some people were infected by selling blood through informal channels because of sex at all, but because of the poverty of their families.
Because they could make money, many people went to sell blood and got infected, then couples, and then children, so that the whole village got AIDS.
Those people are severely discriminated against, have no money to pay for medical treatment, and have a very difficult life.
Guo Xiang is still very sympathetic to them.
Of course, she hates the kind of people who are promiscuous and go to harm others.
"How's that guy now?" Guo Xiang asked.
"A special ward was opened to isolate it, and many nurses refused to go to that ward, and it was my uncle who took care of that person himself for the past two days." An Zehan said.
Guo Xiang nodded, Teacher Song should be under a lot of pressure, right?
"I'll take a look!" Guo Xiang said.
"You're not afraid?" An Zehan grabbed her arm, "It's dangerous! β
"I'll take precautions." Guo Xiang smiled, took the gloves and put them on, and put on the mask again, "This disease is not as terrible as you think." β
"But in case ......" An Zehan was not at ease.
"As long as he doesn't take the initiative to attack me and bite me, it's generally fine." Guo Xiang said, "By the way, how did you know that he had AIDS? β
At this time, there should be no such disease in China, and there should be no way to master those detection methods.
"He said it himself, and the man was self-conscious." An Zehan said.
Guo Xiang nodded, "Since that's the case, don't be afraid, he will say it because he doesn't want to hide it, so that we can be mentally prepared." β
Guo Xiang asked for the ward number, walked to the special ward, and in order to distinguish it, the ward posted the word "HIV patient", and people who don't know about it don't know what HIV is.
Guo Xiang knocked at the door, and a nurse ran over nervously, "Doctor Wang, you can't enter this ward, there are ...... people there."
"I know." Guo Xiang smiled, "I'll find out about the condition, it's okay!" β
A voice came from inside, "come in."
Guo Xiang pushed the door and walked in.
The foreigners inside were surprised to see that a new doctor had arrived, and it was still a female doctor.
βhello!β Guo Xiang smiled and said hello, and really spoke to the man in English, "I'm here to find out about the condition." β
The foreigner was pleasantly surprised to finally come to a doctor who spoke English so fluently, and the previous attending doctor, Dr. Song, although he could also speak English, did not speak very well.
This female doctor speaks authentic English.
Guo Xiang picked up the medical record placed on the bedside, this foreigner is from the United States, his name is Mark, he works in a foreign-funded institution in China, liver cancer is in the early stage, and he is only an AIDS carrier when he sees it again.
In fact, it is not accurate to say that the carrier is inaccurate, and if he is found, he is infected, but he said that he has not yet developed symptoms, so he is temporarily called a carrier.
He also went for a test after knowing that his partner was sick, and the test was already positive.
"You're not afraid?" Mark looked at Guo Xiang curiously, the people here regarded him like a femme fatale after they knew that he had AIDS, and no one dared to come in.
Guo Xiang smiled, "AIDS is not as terrible as they imagined, so they have to protect it and be fine." β
"But your liver cancer needs to be operated ......, it is very dangerous, and there is a possibility of an outbreak of disease." Guo Xiang said, "If you don't have surgery, conservative treatment, you may be able to live for a longer period of time." β
"I don't know this ......, I listen to Dr. Song, I know that he is a world-famous hepatobiliary surgeon, and I also came here, fortunately he didn't reject me, otherwise I don't know what to do."
A trace of sadness appeared on Mark's face, "I'm like this, even if there are few people in the country who are willing to accept me, can I just wait for death?" β
Guo Xiang looked at him and suddenly remembered that once in his previous life, two brothers and sisters came to see a doctor, and the two children were still very young, in their teens, but they were both infected with AIDS.
Their eyes were full of despair, and in the face of the doctors who refused to accept them, they cried and said, "Then we can only wait for death?" β
At that time, Guo Xiang's heart was very uncomfortable.
Now that Mark said this, she was very touched.
"Don't worry, I will discuss with Dr. Song what is the best treatment for you, and Dr. Song will not leave you alone since he has already accepted you. But you also know that both of these diseases are very dangerous, and we need to be prepared, both for you and for ourselves. Guo Xiang said.
Mark nodded, grateful, "Thank you!" β
This is the second doctor who does not dislike himself, not to mention in this conservative country, even in his own country, and they are still very discriminatory during this period.
