Chapter 101: A Mother and Daughter
Early the next morning. m.
Gu Yanan got up early, washed up, and was ready to leave with Lu After having breakfast downstairs, he went to Yuntai County People's Hospital.
As soon as breakfast was finished, Gu Yanan received a phone call.
The caller was Zhang Di, a staff member of the Yuntai County Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
His tone on the phone was a little anxious, and he said to Gu Yanan, "Director Gu, the opinions of the Yuntai County processing team have been feedback, and they have decided to use the clinician's judgment that allergic reactions after hepatitis A vaccination caused myocardial damage, and this incident at Ponyville Central Elementary School has been characterized as an abnormal reaction event caused by hepatitis A vaccination." ”
After hearing this, Gu Yanan's heart sank, "What?!" Where do the clinical experts come from? Hasn't the report given by our CDC been submitted to the processing team? Why don't they listen to our CDC? ”
Zhang Di's tone was also very aggrieved, even a little angry, "The people in the processing team said that the batch of hepatitis A vaccine administered at Ponyville Central Primary School was issued through our disease control system, so our report lacked credibility in front of the public, so they adopted the judgment of other clinical experts. ”
Gu Yanan felt congested, "We have sent this batch of vaccines to a third-party testing agency, and before the test results come out, it cannot be said that there is a problem with the vaccine." ”
Zhang Di: "I said it, but the processing team didn't believe what I said." ”
Gu Yanan: "Okay, I'll call the leader of the processing team directly this time, and I'll explain to them." ”
"It's useless." Zhang Di's tone was helpless, "The director of our county CDC has already reported to the leaders of the processing team, and they said that the vaccine is under the control of our CDC, and our report is suspected of exculpating our CDC." ”
Gu Yanan was speechless and asked Zhang Di, "Where is the leadership office of the processing team this time?" And what about the clinical experts? ”
"Because of the incident at Ponyville Central Elementary School, the county has set up a special processing team, and the temporary office of the processing team is in the county people's hospital, and clinical experts from all over the country are also in the county people's hospital."
"Okay, I'll go over right away, I ask for a group meeting, before that, you ask the director of your county CDC to communicate with the people in the handling team as much as possible, and don't publish the current judgment results, otherwise it will cause panic."
Zhang Di was helpless, "It's too late, because some parents of students have been asking about the progress of this matter, and one of the clinical experts told the parents of their diagnosis, and now the news has spread on the Internet." ”
Gu Yanan's heart sank again, thinking that this was bad.
Yuntai County People's Hospital.
Gu Yanan and Lu Li finished breakfast and hurried to Yuntai County People's Hospital.
As soon as I walked to the entrance of the hospital, I found a large number of reporters surrounded in front of the hospital gate.
Gu Yanan knew that these reporters must have seen the news on the Internet and ran over to compete for news headlines.
Journalists were stopped by hospital security guards and were not allowed to enter the hospital.
Gu Yanan and Lu Li had work permits, squeezed through the crowd, showed their work permits to the security guards, and only entered the hospital gate.
The temporary office of the processing team is on the topmost administrative floor of the Yuntai County People's Hospital building.
Gu Yanan and Lu Li were about to take the elevator up, and as soon as they entered the lobby on the first floor of the building, they found that the hall was crowded with students and parents who had come to see them.
Suddenly, there were so many more patients, Gu Yanan stayed in the hall to inquire about the situation.
It turned out that after seeing the information on the Internet, the parents of the students were scared, and after the hepatitis A vaccine was injected, regardless of whether they had symptoms or not, they directly dialed 120, and some personally sent their children to the county hospital and asked for hospitalization for examination and treatment.
Gu Yanan felt that the deviation in the diagnosis of the clinical expert group and media reports had amplified the impact of this mass psychogenic reaction event.
If not stopped in time, the consequences can be severe.
The emergency response team office on the top floor of the administrative building of Yuntai County People's Hospital.
Members of the various expert groups and members of the processing team met.
Gu Yanan put forward the opinion of disease control and determined that this was a mass psychogenic reaction event caused by vaccination, not an abnormal vaccine reaction event.
Clinical experts insist on their own opinion, arguing that it was an allergic reaction to hepatitis A vaccination, rejecting the CDC's conclusion.
Clinicians and CDC personnel each insisted on their own opinions, and the entire meeting was held in this debate.
Both sides had their own evidence to prove their point, and in the end, the emergency response team adopted the clinician's recommendations.
As soon as the meeting ended, before the participating experts left the venue, a doctor from the county hospital hurriedly came to report, "A resident student has suspected severe symptoms of infection, and now he has convulsions and high fever, and his body temperature is 39.5 degrees. ”
Gu Yanan knows that among these students who are admitted to the hospital due to vaccination, there are very few cases of fever, and even if they have a fever, it is a low-grade fever of 37 degrees, and most of them will not exceed 38 degrees.
Clinical experts and disease control personnel attending the meeting were transferred directly from the venue to the patient's ward.
The student who had convulsions and high fever was named Liu Xiuxiu, a 13-year-old girl in the fourth grade.
Seeing Liu Xiuxiu lying on the hospital bed, Gu Yanan and Lu Li glanced at each other, this little girl and the two had met last night.
Last night, Lu Li and Gu Yanan left from Yuntai County People's Hospital, and on the way back to the guest house, they saw Liu Xiuxiu and a middle-aged woman, shopping on the side of the road.
The middle-aged woman who accompanied Liu Xiuxiu was wiping her tears beside Liu Xiuxiu's hospital bed at this time.
Clinicians were busy checking Liu's clinical symptoms and lab test reports, as well as previous medical records.
Gu Yanan asked the middle-aged woman who was guarding Liu Xiu's bedside, "What is your relationship with Liu Xiuxiu?" Can you tell us about Liu Xiu's situation in the past two days? ”
The middle-aged woman replied while shedding tears, "Xiuxiu is my daughter, the morning before yesterday my daughter felt unwell after being vaccinated at school, so I sent her to our Ponyville Health Center, and transferred to Yuntai County People's Hospital that night...... Doctor, is my Xiuxiu's condition serious again? I don't see that anyone else is vomiting and diarrhea, doctor, you must save my daughter, it's all the fault of vaccination......"
Gu Yanan ignored Liu Xiuxiu's mother's complaints, but stared at the snacks on the bedside table next to Liu Xiuxiu's bed, which were piled with some egg yolk pie, roasted gluten, and uneaten cold skin and cold noodles.
Gu Yanan pointed to the food on the bedside table and asked Liu Xiuxiu's mother, "Where did all this food come from?" ”
"Last night, Xiuxiu and I went to the snack street next to the hospital to buy it, because Xiuxiu couldn't get used to eating things in the hospital cafeteria, and last night I saw that Xiuxiu's mental condition was very good, so our mother and daughter went out shopping and bought some things back, which were not finished."
"In addition to these, what other things did Liu Xiuxiu eat yesterday?"
Liu Xiuxiu's mother pointed to the trash can next to the hospital bed, "There is also a box of fried rice noodles, which is basically finished, and the remaining bags and chopsticks are thrown in the trash." ”
