Chapter 369: The Big Tree on the Roadside [Asking for a Monthly Pass, Asking for a Subscription]
On the night of the Lantern Festival, Gu Jun and Wu Shiyu left many good memories.
But the next morning, another call came. In this river-view suite, they learned the latest bad news, the abnormal Tourette's disease outbreak among women and children, the mode of transmission is unknown, the epidemic area is currently concentrated in the area of Dongzhou City, and 75 sick children have been admitted to various hospitals, and they will shout "Gu Jun" when they have a tic attack.
On the other hand, Xiao Kedou has no signs of illness, and I don't know if there is any connection inside.
Is this a "little New Year's gift"? Gu Jun was angry when he heard this, and he had a splitting headache, who is that guy......
"Dongzhou, Dongzhou......" He naturally got in touch, "Someone wants me to go back over there......"
Speaking of which, he hadn't been back to Dongzhou for a long time.
Before seven o'clock, the two left the hotel, ended this short and sweet world of two, went back to the base of Shenhai Tianji Bureau, and returned to the surging outside world.
"I listened to bedtime stories before I got sick." In the road, Wu Shiyu thought of something, "Could it be all a story of monsters eating people?" ”
"The story told by the Smiling Buddha?" Gu Jun groaned and endured his headache.
"A lot of fairy tales have this kind of story." Wu Shiyu casually cited a few examples, "Little Red Riding Hood" has wolves eating people, "Wolves and Seven Little Goats" has wolves eating goats, "The Giant Who Swallowed the Princess" has giants eating princesses...... "I don't know if these are what the parents of those children are talking about." ”
may have really guessed correctly by Wu Shiyu, the investigation found that most patients had heard or seen this kind of story within a week before the onset of the disease, the specific reason is unknown, but it seems that it is absolutely inseparable from the relationship, which may be the pathogen.
The Bureau immediately began to issue a notice asking parents to stop telling such dark stories, because it is harmful to children's physical and mental health, and children should seek medical attention immediately if they develop symptoms of Tourette's disease; Cartoons with violent elements have also been temporarily suspended, and the resumption time has not yet been determined.
Now what the Tianji Bureau promulgates, even if the reason is not clear, the people can guess that something is wrong, so they attach great importance to it.
After Gu Jun and Wu Shiyu returned to the base, they went to the safe house to see Xiao Kedou as soon as possible, but the child was safe and sound, and he was alive and well.
But at this moment, the number of sick children admitted has exceeded 100, all of them are 5-8 year old girls.
……
The Third People's Hospital of Nanxiang City, the medical staff are busy, one day, there are 15 patients admitted here, and some tests have also been results, from the patient's samples did not find conventional pathogens, the disease does not seem to be ordinary contagious.
MRI images ruled out brain abnormalities in the children; Normal TSH levels exclude hypothyroidism; Normal serum copper and ceruloplasmin levels rule out Wilson's disease...... It is not a streptococcal infection, drug-induced tics, head trauma, encephalitis, carbon monoxide poisoning, etc.
Physiologically, this is Tourette's disease, so it is difficult to deal with, and there is no way to start.
Tourette's disease is hypothesized as an autoimmune disease of the nervous system, which is caused by dysfunction of brain regions such as the frontal lobe and thalamus.
This is suddenly a matter beyond the current level of human medicine, even in the Medical Department of the headquarters of the Tianji Bureau, a brain expert like Professor Ma Jun can only prescribe a little antipsychotic drugs and norepinephrgic drugs for patients to try.
The scientific level of mankind is very developed, but the scientific level of human beings is very backward.
When it comes to the brain and nervous system, whether it is Gu Jun or a five or six-year-old girl, the famous doctors are helpless.
The brain and pediatric experts of the Third People's Hospital of Nanxiang City also have no choice, who can effectively treat Tourette's disease, which is equivalent to effectively treating many neurological disorders, it is not a matter of winning one or two Nobel Prizes, and the new world of medicine created is unimaginable today.
Still, they were busy all day, trying their best to try, to think, to come up with ideas.
Liu Guolin also lifted his spirits, after being trained by Director Zhang in the morning, he was not ashamed, he just felt that he couldn't go on like this, even if he was socialized, he had to struggle to socialize slowly, do something, do something good.
Maybe it was driven by him, or maybe it was heartache for those sick children, Yu Chunhui and Zhang Wenjun were also particularly active today.
Director Zhang took the three of them with him, and he was so busy that he didn't eat officially at lunch, but just nibbled on a few pieces of bread. In the evening, there are more and more sick children, and the work cannot be stopped, but the dean sees that everyone is also tired, so he asks them to take a break to have a meal, and there are colleagues who take shifts.
Therefore, the four of them and a few colleagues from the department walked to the hospital cafeteria together.
"The interval between the patient's tic episodes is a bit long." Director Zhang was still thinking about it on the road, and his fat face was thinking, "I had a seizure in the morning, and it's been almost 12 hours now, and I haven't had a second seizure yet...... Although it is said that the tic episodes of people with Tourette's disease are irregular, they are generally not separated for such a long time. ”
The road leading to the cafeteria was a forest road, and they had been busy all day, and it was quite refreshing to walk by these lush trees.
"Director, we know too little about the situation." Yu Chunhui really wanted to relax for a while, "We can't figure out anything when we think about it." ”
"Hey, it's okay to be idle!" Director Zhang was dissatisfied, "Those who have daughters think about their daughters, and those who have relatives and children think about their relatives and children......"
"Alas, why do you still pick girls to get sick? These girls are really unlucky. Zhang Wenjun sighed, "I don't know what to mess with." ”
Liu Guolin was about to say something, but suddenly noticed the shadows of the surrounding trees swaying, and as soon as he instinctively looked up, he saw a shadow in the sky quickly falling, and his heart suddenly startled...... Director Zhang, Yu Chunhui and Zhang Wenjun next to them were stunned, screaming and screaming, and those who wanted to run had to run......
The accident came so suddenly, so ferociously.
Another group of paramedics walking in the distance screamed as they watched a huge tree collapse with a bang.
There was no typhoon, no rain, and the old tree seemed to rot in the middle of its trunk, toppling over, and completely crushing the group of people passing by.
One of the nurses in the crowd was so frightened that she almost collapsed to the ground, even after facing so many patients and rescues, she lost her soul at this moment.
She saw that the white coats were crushed by the tree, the middle-aged fat leader man was stabbed through the body by multiple thick branches, bleeding everywhere, and she saw that he could not survive, a female doctor was crushed by the trunk of the tree and broke her waist, and another young male doctor's head was cut off by a large branch......
She recognized the young male doctor, Liu Guolin, as a doctor in the emergency pediatric department.
