Chapter 586: Complex Principle
The hospital's current emergency plan is not so high, only to control some patients with fever, and carry out corresponding simple isolation measures, and do not conduct blood tests for all patients and medical staff.
Moreover, most of the patient's family members and people who come to the hospital are not restricted, and the inspection team of the emergency department takes the initiative to do very little, which makes Wang Ge a little more heartfelt.
The major hospitals in Xiangsha City have a close network of contacts, and many doctors have cooperated, know each other, and the relationship is very good.
So they also communicate privately.
From a national point of view, once an epidemic occurs in a certain area or a certain city, the situation will be immediately reported to the provincial department, and then the provincial department will investigate and verify and issue a corresponding notice for early warning, and the speed of news transmission is much faster than ordinary people think.
Of course, this information will largely bypass ordinary people. There are pros and cons to doing so. First of all, there are too many Chinese, and there are not a few people who do not trust hospitals and health departments, and spreading news through the news media without investigating the facts clearly will attract rumors, causing panic among the people to spread, and concealing it is also a last resort.
Correspondingly, there are certain drawbacks to doing so. Due to the lack of transparency of government-related information to the public, the public may not be able to judge and prepare for the epidemic enough, which will have more serious consequences, and SARS is a typical case. Lower-level departments concealed the report, and the higher-level departments made mistakes in judgment, resulting in the expansion of the epidemic. And it is precisely because of the opacity of information that once a little bit of information flows into the people, it will have the opposite effect of chasing after the wind and shadows, and it is too late to even refute rumors.
Nothing in the world is absolutely right or absolutely wrong, every judgment and behavior will bring different consequences, just look at how the parties choose, make the best choice, and weigh between good and bad, which is also a helpless thing, Wang Ge understands this.
But now he must try his best to learn the news of other big cities or other regions besides Xiangsha City, and whether other places are also like Xiangsha City, where there is a summer flu epidemic?
After thinking about it, I had to ask people inside the medical system. But in his memory, few of his classmates and friends are engaged in the medical industry like him, and even if they do, they are all local, so he thought about it and searched through the address book and WeChat friends in the office for a long time, but he didn't find one. He immediately called Tao Mi, who not only had a lot of money, but also had a certain background and was very well-informed.
"I said, brother, you haven't called me in a long time. Tao Mi picked up the phone, and there was a hint of not waking up in his tone.
Coupled with the delay in the communication between the two people, Wang Ge chuckled in his heart, yes, it is estimated that he can't be counted on.
However, Wang Ge still had the mentality of trying it out, and asked, "Where are you?"
"Europe, it's early in the morning, and I just finished a meeting and slept for an hour before you picked me up. If it had been someone else, Tao Mi would have been angry a long time ago, and he was a little impatient when he was woken up by the phone, but when he saw that the caller ID was his good buddy King Pigeon, the anger disappeared in an instant. "I know you too well, you're fine, you're going to never call me. "Tao Mi's meaning is very clear, no matter what help, no matter how difficult it is, he will help.
"Forget it, you're not in the country, it's not convenient, it's not a big deal, I'll solve it myself. On the one hand, Wang Ge was distressed about the international roaming phone bill, and on the other hand, he really felt that it was too troublesome for Tao Mi to help, so he immediately hung up the phone. "I'm arguing that you're sleeping, and I'll invite you to dinner when I come back!"
The king pigeon always said to invite Tao Mi to eat, but every time Tao Mi chose the place to eat thousands of meals, the king pigeon couldn't afford it at all. In fact, Tao Mi also has his own little abacus, and the purpose of choosing this kind of place is to prevent the king pigeon from paying money.
This phone call made Tao Mi inexplicable, sitting on the edge of the bed and stunned for a few seconds, not thinking about what the situation was, then put down the phone and continued to rest.
Putting down the phone, the frowning king pigeon turned his head to look at Xu Lin, the little black fat man didn't seem to be in a good mood. "How's the monkey?"
"I went to the outpatient clinic, took a question and asked the infectious disease department to take me away for isolation, and took my temperature, almost getting Lao Tzu in. It's really evil. Xu Lin sighed, the reason for his bad mood was that he was worried about his good friend Hou Changhe. "You think this can't be the second SARS, right? Bird flu or something. ”
"According to this level of isolation, if you have SARS, you will have to be caught if you don't have a fever. Don't worry, it's just an unknown flu, and besides, the monkey's situation is not under control now. Xie Guang said.
"I don't think it's that simple, we have to prepare for the worst. I heard from the doctors in the infectious disease department that they were culturing the virus, and that traditional antibiotics and antivirals didn't seem to have much effect on the flu......," Xu Lin replied.
The king pigeon agrees.
In fact, from the perspective of the principle of viral influenza, this summer flu is still very dangerous.
Most people think that if you have the flu, take an antibiotic to reduce inflammation, and the main role is antibiotics, but in fact, this is an incorrect view, or some kind of misunderstanding. Antibiotics cannot be used to kill viruses in the human body, what really works is the antiviral drugs and the body's own immune system.
People will take some antibiotics when they have a viral flu, because the virus has other complications in the human body, there will be some bacteria, resulting in cold symptoms, antibiotics will assist the human body to kill bacteria and fungi, only for rhinitis, pharyngitis, bronchitis and other inflammations, the real elimination of the virus is the body's own immune system.
To put it in layman's terms, viral influenza is largely carried by the human body itself, antibiotics just make bacteria and fungi no longer multiply, so that the condition does not worsen, and antipyretic, pain relief and the like, such as paracetamol, ibuprofen, can only relieve symptoms and make the body feel more comfortable.
Therefore, there is a saying that you can take medicine for seven days for a cold and go without medicine for a week.
Viral influenza may sound common, but it's not that simple in every medical procedure. The virus is not a complete cell, the RNA must rely on the host cell for reproduction and replication, which is divided into four steps, the first is to adsorb the proteins of human tissue cells that are more susceptible to infection, then invade, the third step is to copy their own nucleic acids, and finally the nucleic acids and proteins to form new viruses.
Most antiviral drugs on the market are directed at one or several viruses, and after taking such drugs, they can form some kind of protein in the body that kills the virus or prevents it from multiplying.
Most of the antiviral drugs are targeted, only targeting one or several viruses, and in the process of intervening in the replication and reproduction of the virus, the steps involved are different, some may be killed after the virus is formed, that is, in the fourth step, and some are in the second step to make the human protein unable to synthesize with the viral nucleic acid, block reproduction, and then rely on the own immune system to kill the virus.
To put it more colloquially, if a person has influenza A, it is useful to take some amantadine, but amantadine has no effect on viral influenza B.
The research cycle of every antiviral drug and vaccine is related to the virus itself. Perhaps this summer flu virus is just a variant of a previous virus, so it is more convenient to kill it, and it only needs to be solved by targeted research on existing drugs. If it's a new virus that has never been seen before, it's a problem.
It's just that the probability of the latter appearing is smaller.
These things were only seen cursoly in books, and they seemed boring at the time, but I didn't expect them to come in handy now. In any case, he had to find out if the situation was similar to Xiangsha in other areas.
Since Tao Mi can't go this way, then we have to try to take another path. He stood up and stretched, and walked slowly out of the office, saying as he went, "I'll go out for a walk." ”
Usually, everyone doesn't care about each other's whereabouts, as long as they don't delay getting out of the car, but now that the situation is special, Xie Guang still said more, "Don't wander around in the emergency department, I always feel that something is wrong." ”
As soon as the king pigeon went out, he immediately quickened his pace and hurried to the emergency department. He's going to go to the emergency department and find someone, and that person will definitely be able to help him figure out what is going on. However, she must be busy now, and she has no time to answer the phone, so she can only say it in person.
After going around the emergency department several times and asking a lot of people, Wang Ge found Shen Hui in the emergency observation ward.
Wang Ge beckoned to Shen Hui through the glass window of the observation room, and Shen Hui stuffed the record book in his hand to Meng Na on the side, and then opened the door and came out.
"What?" Shen Hui took off her mask.
"How's it going?" asked the pigeon, licking his lips.
"It's okay, it's busy, the patients with fever in the emergency and outpatient departments have been transferred to the infectious disease ward, and there are few people there. "Shen Hui knows the king pigeon like Tao Mi, and knows that this guy definitely has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and he usually doesn't talk to anyone.
"I'll need to ask you for a favor. Wang Ge told Shen Hui what he thought in his heart.
Shen Hui frowned, "Now this is a sensitive topic. Hospitals are not allowed to spread to the outside world. If there was no such situation, I would have revealed it again...... That's a big sin! Now that the matter has not been investigated, why are you asking this?"
Wang Ge shook his head, the reason naturally couldn't be told to Shen Hui, even if Shen Hui already knew some of Wang Ge's secrets. "There's something you can't know, so you can say whether you can help or not!"
"Okay, if you can't say it, you can't say it. Shen Hui sighed, wondering if this matter had something to do with those gods of death and souls. changed to someone else, in order not to get into trouble, Shen Hui must have shook her head and refused, but it was the king pigeon who asked her for help, so she naturally couldn't refuse. "Help, but I need a certain amount of time, I have a lot of classmates who work all over the country, there are tertiary hospitals, community clinics, private hospitals, maternal and child health stations, and medical equipment, but I'm not sure if they will answer the phone immediately, and it's not convenient to talk here. ”
"Then you have to call until one of them answers the phone, and I want the exact message. Let's go to the nurses' lounge. Wang Ge glanced around, the nurses were busy, and the nurses' lounge was definitely empty at this time.
Shen Hui opened the door of the emergency observation room, explained something to Meng Na, and then took out her mobile phone and followed Wang Ge to the nurse's lounge.
There are four beds in the steel frame bed and upper and lower beds in the lounge, which are shared by the nurses, and if you are not busy on duty at night, or if you are not feeling well, you can change your clothes for a while. The king pigeon locked the door with his back hand and sat down at the desk opposite the door.
Shen Hui sat on the bed, flipping through the address book while thinking about who should be asked. Don't look at the graduation not long ago, most of the people who do this line of work don't have time to contact feelings, the feelings of the classmates when they went to school were quite good, and now they want to go home and sleep quickly after class, and they have time to call and chat, so they gradually became estranged. For a while, Shen Hui didn't know who to call, so she could only ask.
"Which regions, within the province or outside the province, from the south to the north?" Shen Hui raised her head and asked.
The king pigeon also has a bottom in his heart. "If there is, then be sure to ask about the symptoms, the number of infections, whether there are any deaths, and see if it is the same as we have here. ”
Shen Hui nodded, held up the phone and dialed out, three calls in a row, to three different people, but no one answered. "I'm either busy, or I'm sleeping, and this phone is the same as not. One in the capital, one in Dongshan Province, and one in Liaodong Province didn't answer the phone. ”
"Keep fighting. The king pigeon bit the nail of his thumb.
"When this is over, you have to treat me to salmon, I really don't want to lose my face. Shen Hui glanced at the king pigeon, she had never seen someone to help and be so tough.
"If you ask, don't talk about salmon, I'll get you sharks. Wang Ge said.
Just when Shen Hui made the fourth call, the owner of the second call actually called back, and Shen Hui quickly interrupted his operation and answered the call. Sure enough, the classmate from Dongshan Province on the other side was busy, and when he saw the missed call from Shen Hui, he hurriedly replied, after all, the feelings in college were still very deep.
The two girls inevitably exchanged pleasantries, if it were usually put on the topic, it would definitely take an hour to get to the point, and share the experience from graduation to the present, but now the time conditions of the two people do not allow it, Wang Ge is still staring at it, Shen Hui hurriedly cut to the topic.
"Xiaofei, I have a question...... Please be sure to answer me. Shen Hui said, and then turned on the phone's hands-free.
"Why are you doing such a serious thing, are you going to get married? Invite me over! Okay, I can be your bridesmaid! But it depends on whether the leader approves the leave!" The girl on the other side had a sweet voice, and she was very excited when she received a call from her classmates.
"No, there is something about the disease. Your side...... Are there many patients with fever?" Shen Hui swallowed, "Or is there a potential possibility of a large-scale outbreak of influenza?"
