Li Xiaoya spoke incoherently, and hung up the phone after asking for the detailed address on the other end of the 120 phone.

Soon, 120 ambulances roared.

Hearing the siren of the ambulance, Li Xiaoya ran out of the room to the door, and saw the ambulance coming towards the door from a distance.

When the ambulance arrived at the three-way intersection, it turned around and went in the direction of Wang Erzhu's house.

"Hey, it's wrong, it's wrong, it's in the wrong direction, the patient is here......"

Li Xiaoya shouted after the ambulance.

The siren of the ambulance overshadowed Li Xiaoya's shout, and after driving forward for a distance, it stopped at the door of Wang Erzhu's house.

Two paramedics in white coats got out of the ambulance, rushed into Wang Erzhu's house, and quickly carried out a person on a stretcher.

Li Xiaoya caught up with the ambulance out of breath, and when she arrived at the door of Wang Erzhu's house, she saw the medical staff carrying Wang Erzhu onto the ambulance on a stretcher.

"His second uncle is also sick?" Li Xiaoya muttered to herself in fear.

Now it was my own pig that died, and then my husband was also sick, and now even the second uncle who worked in the pig farm was carried into the ambulance.

Li Xiaoya looked at Wang Erzhu on the stretcher, his hands and feet were also bruised, and he twitched from time to time, looking very painful, but his eyes were rolling, and his consciousness was quite clear.

"Second uncle, what's wrong with you?"

"I started to feel nauseous last night, I vomited for half the night, and my whole body hurt badly, and I couldn't stand it this morning, so I called 120." Wang Erzhu's voice was weak at this time.

Li Xiaoya was even more panicked when she heard this, her husband has also been uncomfortable since yesterday, isn't it that both of them were infected by pigs?

She grabbed the sleeve of the ambulance worker, and her voice was anxious and panicked, "Doctor, I also called 120, my husband is also sick, and the symptoms are the same as his second uncle, you go and save him and send him to the hospital." ”

Ambulance worker: "Is your husband's name Wang Yunhao?" ”

"Yes, yes, it's Wang Yunhao, who lives in the house at the west end of the village."

"There's another ambulance, coming shortly."

While speaking, sure enough, another ambulance roared and stopped at the door of Wang Yunhao's house not far away.

Li Xiaoya hurried back, cooperated with the ambulance staff to lift her husband into the ambulance, and then followed the ambulance to the hospital.

——

Lianhai First People's Hospital, emergency room.

Two ambulances took Wang Yunhao and Wang Erzhu to the emergency room one after the other.

Li Xiaoya also followed Wang Yunhao's ambulance trolley, but when she arrived at the door of the emergency room, she found that it was overcrowded, and there were several more temporary beds in the corridor.

Emergency doctors and nurses are busy with their feet on the ground.

Li Xiaoya's eyes were staring at her husband, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw that the symptoms of the people on the hospital beds around her were the same as her husband's, some of their hands and feet were bruised, some kept twitching, and some people were holding their stomachs and shouting pain.

An emergency doctor came to examine Wang Erzhu.

"It's bruising again!" The emergency doctor whispered to himself while examining it.

"Director Zhang, come and see this patient." A little nurse standing beside Wang Yunhao's bed shouted.

The director of the emergency department trotted over and saw the little nurse pointing to Wang Yunhao's left hand.

He had several blisters on the back of his hand, one of which had ruptured on his index finger and had black scab marks.

"Gangrene?!" Director Zhang's voice trembled slightly.

Today, more than a dozen patients with bruised hands and feet were brought to the emergency room one after another, and some of them had obvious gangrene symptoms.

Gangrene...... Anthrax?!

Isn't it an anthrax outbreak?!

"Lock down the isolation emergency room, and if a similar patient arrives, send it directly to the quarantine area! Notify Dr. Gu from the Department of Infectious Diseases to come for consultation and treatment. ”

Director Zhang of the emergency department ordered all medical staff to immediately take action according to the experience of previous emergency drills.

Several passages around the emergency room are closed and a loudspeaker is used to explain to patients and families in the emergency room.

"The patient and his family and friends, because there is a suspected infectious disease in the emergency room, they need to be isolated and treated, please cooperate with the guidance of medical staff."

Li Xiaoya heard the voice coming from the loudspeaker, and the emergency doctor's words in front of her husband's hospital bed just now mentioned anthrax.

Her family runs a pig farm, and she also knows some common diseases in pigs, one of which is anthrax.

Once this disease appears, the pigs will suffer, and sometimes it will infect people, is it really as the doctor said that her husband and his second uncle are infected with anthrax.

Several pigs who died on the family's pig farm also had symptoms of blackening of the body, and it seemed that it was really anthrax.

The more Li Xiaoya thought about it, the more scared she became, but she could only listen to the arrangements of the medical staff.

Soon, the temporarily closed emergency room Gu Kaki appeared.

Dr. Zhang, the director of the emergency department, and Gu Jiashu gathered at Wang Yunhao's bedside.

The blisters on Wang Yunhao's fingers had quickly formed a black eschar.

"Black eschar, which is typical of anthrax." Dr. Zhang told Gu Jiashu, "There are many patients with similar symptoms in the emergency room, and there are more than a dozen of them, and there is a trend of sending them in one after another. ”

After Gu Jiashu checked the patient, his brows furrowed, "It is indeed a symptom of gangrene, but the patient does not have a fever, which does not match anthrax." ”

"Not anthrax?" Dr. Zhang asked in surprise, if it wasn't for anthrax, the sudden lockdown of so many people in the emergency room was a false alarm.

But if it's not anthrax, what kind of strange disease would it be?

Whatever the disease, if there is a large outbreak in the population right now, the matter must be serious.

"Not sure, first send the patient's specimen to the laboratory department, do a basic blood analysis and specific anthrax antibody serology, but also do a cytology test, and do a direct smear staining microscopic examination of the patient's secretions."

Gu Jiashu said that an emergency nurse sent the patient's specimen to the laboratory department to communicate with the relevant examination matters as required.

"Doctor Gu, what should the patient do now? If the pathogen is not identified, how to deal with it? Dr. Zhang asked.

Gu Jiashu glanced at the overcrowded emergency room, and there were ambulances outside to send patients one after another, "Open an emergency green channel, transfer patients to Ward C of the Infection Department, and centralize isolation and treatment." ”

Ward C of the Department of Infectious Diseases is an independent 2-storey small building, which is an isolation and treatment ward set up by the hospital to deal with large-scale sudden infectious diseases when the plague epidemic broke out a year ago.

"Doctor Gu, such a big matter should be notified to the CDC, I will now ask the people in Corey to report the information on the online direct reporting system, but I think it is better to make the problem clear by calling directly." Dr. Zhang knew about Gu Jiashu's relationship with Gu Yanan of the CDC, and what he said was that it was easier for Gu Jiashu to make a phone call.

"Okay, I'll call the Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention."

Wang Xiaoxiao: "The three counties and districts I am responsible for have already given on-site guidance, and then I will wait for their personnel to come to the Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention laboratory for on-site training." ”
