Chapter 222: Welcoming New Colleagues
Gu Yanan stopped the information he was sorting out in his hand, raised his head, and saw Wang Xiaoxiao's expectant face.
"How?"
Wang Xiaoxiao leaned his face closer, "According to the custom, group dinner." ”
Gu Yanan did not hesitate, and immediately agreed, "Okay, I'll treat you, you can set the place." ”
——
Commercial street next to Lianhai Center for Disease Control and Prevention, a special Chinese restaurant box.
Emergency response team dinner.
Six people gathered around a table, and various dishes were served one after another.
A glass of freshly squeezed juice in front of each person.
Wang Xiaoxiao took the initiative to talk to Gu Qingcen, "Teacher Gu, the rules of our group dinner, you can't drink alcohol, and today I will use juice instead of wine to welcome you to join our disease control team." ”
Gu Yanan, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, "He doesn't drink in the first place. ”
As soon as he said that, everyone felt Gu Yanan's understanding and concern for Gu Qingcen.
A warm smile flashed on Gu Qingcen's elegant face, "Well, I'm allergic to alcohol, and the juice is good." ”
Wang Xiaoxiao was surprised, "Teacher Gu is allergic to alcohol? Is there a problem with exposure to disinfectant alcohol during experiments? ”
"Allergic symptoms can only occur when a certain amount of alcohol is consumed, and ordinary skin contact and respiratory contact do not matter."
Lu Li: "It's just that drinking alcohol can cause allergies, and it doesn't matter if you are exposed to disinfection in the laboratory, many people are like this." ”
Wang Xiaoxiao nodded while eating the vegetable salad she ordered, and agreed with Lu Li's words, "Well, I can drink a bottle of beer, and if I drink too much, I will have symptoms of drunkenness, this can be regarded as an alcohol allergy, right?" ”
Gao Fei: "You are not allergic, but the amount of alcohol is shallow, and Zhou Lao's amount of alcohol is very good, and a pound of liquor is not a problem." ”
Zhou Jie: "When I was young, I didn't drink so well, and I practiced it with my father-in-law in the past few years. ”
Wang Xiaoxiao was surprised, "Can you still practice the amount of alcohol?" Isn't alcohol innate with alcohol? ”
Zhou Jie: "To be able to practice is to practice the body's tolerance to alcohol, a small amount of multiple contacts, the tolerance to alcohol will increase, and the amount of alcohol will look a little larger, but the amount of alcohol still depends on the nature, Director Gu's alcohol consumption is naturally good." ”
Everyone looked at Gu Yanan.
Gu Yanan had never drunk alcohol in front of the young emergency team members, and everyone didn't know how much she drank, how did Zhou Lao know?
Wang Xiaoxiao asked in surprise: "Sister Yanan, you have a good amount of alcohol?" ”
"I don't know if it's good or bad?"
"And how much alcohol can you drink at one time?"
"I don't know."
Zhou Jie accosted at this time, "I remember a few years ago, when Director Gu first came to our CDC, several colleagues from the unit invited Director Gu to dinner in the name of private gatherings to connect with feelings, and everyone toasted Director Gu, but several big men were drunk, but Director Gu didn't do anything, and no one dared to drink with our Director Gu since that time." ”
Gao Fei, Lu Li, and Wang Xiaoxiao, all three of them stared at Gu Yanan in disbelief, they had always thought that one of the reasons why the emergency team didn't drink at dinner was that she couldn't drink, but she didn't expect her to be a hidden person.
Wang smiled: "Sister Yanan, you don't know how much you drink, is it because you've never been drunk?" ”
"Well, the acetaldehyde dehydrogenase in my body is a little higher than that of ordinary people, and the rate of metabolism of alcohol is faster, so the amount of alcohol is higher than that of ordinary people."
"You follow Uncle Gu for this." Gu Qingcen's faint voice floated out, like a long-lost person recalling the past.
Everyone drank juice and discussed the amount of alcohol each person, and sorted each person according to the amount of alcohol, and in the end, Gu Yanan was the first, and Gu Qingcen was the last.
Wang Xiaoxiao was eating a vegetable salad alone, and everyone else was eating hot dishes, Lu Li glanced at her, with a hint of worry in his tone, "Why do you still eat raw vegetables?" The last time I went to the hospital to donate feces, you failed the physical examination. ”
Wang Xiaoxiao disagreed, "I don't feel uncomfortable, besides, vegetable salad is so nutritious, many girls like it." ”
Lu Li: "But the vegetable salad is all raw, you see Sister Yanan didn't eat it." ”
Wang Xiaoxiao stared at Gu Yanan's chopsticks, she was holding a piece of lotus root cake, "Sister Yanan, don't you eat vegetable salad?" ”
"Hmm...... Occasionally eaten, but rarely. ”
Wang Xiaoxiao forked out a piece of cucumber with a small fork and put it in her mouth, and glanced at Lu Li proudly, as if to say: Look, girls like it.
Lu Li shook his head and sighed deliberately, "Xiaoxiao, there have been many food poisoning epidemic investigations you have participated in, many of which are due to eating unclean cold dishes." ”
Wang Xiaoxiao stopped the small fork in his hand and said angrily: "Lu Li, don't you want me to eat well today?" ”
"No, I just stated a fact."
"How can there be so much food poisoning? I've never had a problem eating fresh food, so you don't scare me. ”
"I didn't scare you, there are very few cases of food poisoning in our country, but there are many abroad, and Mr. Gu has been abroad all the year round, and he must have participated in the handling of many similar epidemics."
The topic turned to Gu Qingcen.
Gu Qingcen nodded slightly, "Yes, the dietary structure of Western developed countries is mostly high-fat, high-protein, and high-calorie 'three high' types, and vegetables account for a small proportion, and they are mainly raw vegetables, so the incidence of foodborne diseases is very high."
China's traditional diet is characterized by low fat, low protein, high carbohydrates, supplemented by vegetables and fruits, and the cooking methods are mostly steaming, boiling, stewing, and boiling, which can effectively kill the pathogenic bacteria in the food, so the probability of foodborne pathogenic bacteria safety accidents in China is lower than that of the West. ”
Wang Xiaoxiao felt that she couldn't eat anymore, and asked Gu Qingcen, "Teacher Gu, tell us about the impressive foodborne disease investigation cases you have participated in abroad, we are all very curious." ”
Gu Qingcen thought for a while, "The one that impressed me more was in Germany.
I remember around May 2011, I was at the office of Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) in Germany when I received news that an elderly woman in her 80s had been infected with E. coli and died.
In the week that followed, more than 400 people were confirmed or suspected to be infected with enterohemorrhagic E. coli.
Outside of Germany, Denmark, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands have also identified about 300 suspected cases.
At that time, the epidemic was spreading at a rate of about 200 people per day.
By early June of that year, the number of EHEC infections in Germany had reached nearly 2,000, 17 had died, and more than 500 had developed severe life-threatening hemolytic uremic syndrome.
At that time, the situation was urgent, and Médecins Sans Frontières sent volunteers to participate in the treatment and origin-tracing investigation, and I was one of them.
Through the cooperation of various departments, the scope of contaminating pathogenic bacteria was initially narrowed down to 5 kinds of sprout seeds provided by a company.
Later, we investigated and found a suspicious food in common in the clusters in Germany and France: fenugreek seeds.
Immediately afterwards, various countries with epidemics carried out origin-tracing investigations at the same time.
It was eventually determined that a batch of fenugreek seeds imported from Egypt was the source of the outbreak.
The source of infection was identified, and the chain of transmission was cut off in time, and the epidemic was brought under control. ”
After listening to the story told by Gu Qingcen, Wang Xiaoxiao had completely lost interest in the vegetable salad in front of her, "Gu Dashen, I seem to have a little impression of the epidemic you mentioned, because I ate contaminated bean sprouts, and the pathogenic bacteria are not common." ”
