She is a person who has experienced the epidemic, and she encountered it when she was in Nanzhou. The atmosphere of heaviness and panic is still fresh in her memory. Even though the epidemic was lifted quickly, she still didn't dare to take it lightly, so she was very solemn and vigilant in preventing the epidemic.

Fortunately, the national strength of the Yue country is strong, and Changning is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, so he can deal with this sudden disaster quickly and efficiently.

Gu Li worked in the Spring Hui Hall during the day, and went back to Yan Qing's house at night.

Yan Qing hasn't come back yet, and as for when he will come back, Gu Li doesn't know.

Early this morning, Gu Li went to the Spring Return Hall, planning to leave early in the afternoon and go to the hot spring courtyard to see the bacterial culture. If she can, then she will go to the key step of making penicillin with Mei Zhiyan tomorrow.

There are two patients in the ward, one who had just undergone surgery the day before yesterday and is still in the hospital for observation, and the other who was brought in last night because of an emergency.

When this patient came last night, the Chunhui Hall had already closed, and the guy in charge of the night saw that it was not a traumatic injury, so he didn't ask someone to call Gu Li, but to call Dr. Hu.

Therefore, this patient was treated by Dr. Hu.

When Gu Li was making rounds, she also took a closer look at his situation, and then looked at the medical records written by Dr. Hu last night.

The patient came to the hospital at night because of fever, diarrhoea and vomiting. After treatment, Dr. Hu prescribed medicine to him, and now his diarrhea and vomiting have been relieved a lot, but he is still feverish. At this time, the patient was asleep, and Gu Li did not let anyone wake him up.

After checking the ward, Gu Li walked out of the ward, took off her mask, changed out of the isolation gown on her body, and washed her hands carefully before going to see other patients.

Since Dr. Hu was busy here in the middle of the night last night, he didn't come here this morning and only came after lunch.

There were a lot of patients who came to see the doctor today, and Gu Li was busy all morning and didn't stop for a moment.

Fortunately, Dr. Hu came in the afternoon, and there were three doctors, which was a little easier.

Gu Li said hello to Shopkeeper Fang and said that he would leave early in the afternoon. Shopkeeper Fang naturally didn't disagree, he agreed with a smile, and persuaded her to rest for a few days if she was tired.

Before Shen was ready, Mei Zhiyan came.

"You wait a minute, I still have a few patients here, I'll leave after reading it." Gu Li said to Mei.

Mei Zhiyan smiled slightly, nodded, and sat in the rest area on the side waiting for her.

Perhaps because the weather was unstable a few days ago, and it rained so heavily, it was cold and hot, and there were more sick people.

There are many patients waiting to be seen in front of Hu and Qin's doctors, because Gu Li wants to leave early, so their patients are still increasing.

At some point, another patient came to Gu Li's desk, and as soon as this person came, he attracted Mei Zhiyan's attention.

Mei Zhiyan stood up, walked over to the new patient, and said, "Doctor Gu is busy, let me show you." ”

This person recognized Mei Zhiyan and did not refuse.

Mei Zhiyan easily went to get the gloves and mask that she had prepared in the spring hall, and brought the patient into the laboratory.

The penicillin production laboratory has been moved to the hot spring annex outside the castle, so the laboratory in the spring hall has been vacated and used as a classroom for lectures and demonstrations.

Mei Zhiyan put on a mask and gloves, first checked his pulse, and then asked him: "When did you start getting sick?" ”

"Last night." The man replied, with weakness in his voice, "I felt uncomfortable at the time, vomiting and diarrhea, dizziness, and lack of energy." ”

Mei Zhiyan responded softly, and asked, "Where do you live?" ”

"South Gate Lane."

Mei Zhiyan's expression froze.

Seeing this, the patient immediately asked, "Doctor Mei, I won't have any incurable disease, right?" ”

Mei Zhiyan shook her head, smiled, and said softly in a gentle voice; "Nope."

"But your disease is a bit troublesome to treat, and it must be treated immediately. So, you might as well stay here first. ”

"Still have to live here?" The patient was frustrated, "I can't prescribe some medicine, I'll take it home and take it." ”

Mei Zhiyan shook her head.

"Doctor Mei, I'm alright."

At this time, Gu Li called him outside.

Mei Zhiyan told the patient to wait here for a while, and turned out of the laboratory.

Gu Li saw at a glance that the look on his face was not quite right, and asked with a smile; "What's wrong?"

"Come here." Mei Zhiyan took off her mask and gloves, threw them into the trash can with a lid and seal, and took Gu Li to a remote corner of the backyard.

"What's wrong?" Gu Li was puzzled and asked.

"I just saw a patient for you, and I don't think something is right." Mei Zhiyan looked at her with a solemn expression, looked at her and said.

"What's wrong?" Gu Li was puzzled, and her heart also lifted.

She knew that Mei Zhiyan's medical skills were very good, and since he said something wrong, there must be something big.

"The patient has fever, diarrhea, vomiting, a yellow complexion, and signs of detachment."

"Eat something bad, right?" Gu Li asked rhetorically.

These are all gastrointestinal symptoms, and now that the weather is hot, eighty percent of them are eating bad things.

"I was at Renyitang today, and I received two patients with this symptom." Mei Zhiyan continued, "And looking at the pulse, it's not as simple as eating a bad stomach." ”

Gu Li frowned and pondered.

"Is it a plague?!" Gu Li's color immediately changed.

Ren Yitang admitted two patients today, plus the one from last night, Chunhui Hall also admitted two.

Even if you do eat bad stomach at the same time, the symptoms are not exactly the same. What's more, Mei Zhiyan said, judging from the pulse, it is not just as simple as eating a bad stomach.

"I think it's very likely." Mei Zhiyan nodded.

"But, weren't all those dead things burned and buried?" Gu Li couldn't understand the reason for it for a while.

How can an epidemic suddenly occur?

The stagnant water was quickly cleared up, and the drowned animals were properly disposed of. The source of infection is under control, and it stands to reason that there is no chance of a problem, but where did this disease come from?

"The patients over there are also digestive symptoms?" Gu Li frowned and asked.

"Yes, with fever, it starts with a low fever and soon becomes a high fever." Mei Zhiyan replied.

"The symptoms of the digestive tract start quickly, and if it was caused by someone eating dead livestock before, it would have started a long time ago, and it would not have been possible to get it three or four days later." Gu Li was puzzled in her heart, muttering to herself.

"It's not certain that this is an epidemic right now, but it's not a bad thing for us to be careful." Mei stopped and said.
