Dr. Hua had just finished eating and smiled happily when he saw Zuo Li coming to chat with him. Said: "How? Have you eaten it? Are you still used to the food at the camp? ”

Zuo Li said: "It's good, it's too hot, I've rarely been to such a hot place, and this is a bigger test for me." ”

Dr. Hua laughed and said, "Yes! It's the equator, and it's hard to get hot. Especially those of you who have never been to the equator, unlike me, I've grown up here since I was a kid and I'm used to it. - By the way, do you drink? ”

Zuo Li smiled: "Drink a little." ”

"Great, I've got a good bottle of wine. Anyway, no one will come to the barracks at night to seek medical treatment, and our station will not accept external treatment, so there will be no tasks at night, and it doesn't matter if you have some wine. ”

Zuo Li happily agreed.

Dr. Hua took out a bottle of two pots from the cabinet and poured it into two military water cups, just one cup per person, and almost one bottle was divided.

Zuo Li was surprised: "This thing is very expensive to sell here, right?" ”

"Yes! After all, it's from across the ocean. The locals are very fond of Chinese things, especially Chinese liquor, which is very cheap in China, and it can also be bought here, after all, the domestic purchase price is very cheap, and the price will not be expensive if it is shipped several times. But this is also a luxury, and only the rich can afford it! However, my wine is imported when I enter Chinese herbal medicine, so I don't have to pay a high price to buy it locally, and it can be authentic. ”

Zuo Li happily took a sip of the wine glass and felt it, it did taste very pure. Dr. Hua took another bag of peanuts, as well as two bags of dried tofu and dried fish, tore them open and poured them on a plate to make a sapult.

Zuo Li asked him, "Doctor Hua grew up here?" ”

"Yes!"

"Why do you make money in such a war-torn place? It's too dangerous. It's not an exaggeration to say that you can make money by pinning your head to the waistband of your pants. ”

Dr. Hua smiled: "As the so-called wealth is in danger, we can't talk about wealth here, we can just earn a little more money than in China." But it's really dangerous here. War, AIDS, Ebola, all of them are deadly. Over the years, the Chinese around me have either died or left, and there are not many left. ”

Zuo Li asked, "How is the security here?" ”

"It's completely out of control, almost every local person has a gun, and guns are very common, so if you can't get it right, you will take out the guns and put them in the air. Shoot if you don't agree with each other. However, we Chinese doctors are generally very friendly and will chat with you in broken English, they need help so much, and our Chinese have given them the most practical and the most help, the legendary African brothers. ”

"I grew up here, I only went back to China a few times, and most of the time I spent most of my time here, and this is my true hometown. Now that I'm older, I don't want to go back, so let's live and die here. ”

Zuo Li held the wine glass and said: "Why bury the bones, there are green mountains everywhere in the world!" Come, have a drink! ”

The two of them clinked glasses and took a big sip.

Zuo Li grabbed a few small fish and stretched them out to his mouth: "Can you tell me about your local medical practice?" For example, the difficult cases I encountered gave me a preliminary impression of the local medical treatment. ”

Dr. Hua smiled, "Alas, your studious spirit is much stronger than my son's. - I'm sorry to compare you to my son. ”

"It's nothing, Dr. Hua, your son should be older than me, right?"

"Well, he's a few years older than you, but he's nowhere near as good as you. This rabbit cub doesn't want to learn Chinese medicine, and it seems that there is no hope of passing on my skills in this life. ”

"So what is he up to?"

"In business, he doesn't want to treat people, his medical skills are okay, but he can only limit himself to okay. Because he is far less studious than you, and he knows a lot of things, which is really big. Okay, let's not talk about him, let's talk about the local treatment you just mentioned. What I want to talk about most is the treatment of Ebola hemorrhagic fever, and I believe it is also what you want to hear the most. ”

Zuo Li smiled and nodded: "That's right." Of course, this is the most nervous thing. ”

"Although the fatality rate of the Ebola virus is very high, it can be fatal if it is left behind. I made a mistake once, and I got infected, but luckily I survived. ”

Zuo Li was taken aback and said, "Have you ever been infected with Ebola?" What's going on? ”

"I was treating a patient who was vomiting and diarrhea, cutting his pulse without gloves, dragging his chin to see his tongue, and I suspected that he had malaria. I was still careless, I didn't wash my hands immediately, and I ate and drank water during the process. A few days later, I learned that the patient had been diagnosed with Ebola and had died. I immediately self-isolated and took Chinese medicine for prevention. ”

"Sure enough, I got sick just a week ago, and I really felt what the Ebola virus was all about, and it was like living between life and death. I was in a coma with a high fever all over my body, and I kept using the prescriptions left by my father and the local herbs to medicate myself, the same prescriptions I had sent to you earlier. In the end, I was luckier than my dad and I got my life back. ”

Zuo Li said: "So you said that your recipe was exchanged for your life? ”

Dr. Hua said, "So to speak. Luckily, I didn't have Zairean Ebola, but Sudanese Ebola, and the average mortality rate was relatively small, 70%. ”

"It's really scary, our Chinese medicine practitioners here, what do the locals think?"

"The locals are actually very kind, as long as you are sincere in helping them. My dad was like that, he used Chinese medicine and local herbs to treat the locals, the price was very cheap, sometimes the poor didn't take the money, so the locals trusted and loved him. But now, we can't get that kind of affection, and the medical environment we face is much harsher. ”

Zuo Li was also stunned for a moment and asked, "Why do you say that?" ”

"Because doctors from all over the world are here."

"This ......, it's a bad thing to come?"

"That's not what I mean," Dr. Hua sighed, "These doctors are different from my dad back then, they don't eat and live in the village like my dad, they can speak the local dialect, and they can communicate, so the villagers trust them a lot." And these aid doctors do not understand localization, and cannot communicate with the locals, they are all through the local **. And the ** people are simple and rude, and they directly forcibly take the patients away from the village and concentrate them in the quarantine area for treatment. ”

"Because the mortality rate of this disease is very high, most of the sick people will die, but after they were forcibly taken away alive by these people, they never returned to the village, but they were told that they were dead, the body was burned, and the locals were not used to cremation, which aroused anger, and they didn't care about the claim that the infected corpse would be contagious."

"And these doctors wear heavy protective clothing, goggles and thick masks, and they can't see their faces at all like aliens, so they think that these doctors have a conspiracy and work with ** people to kill the sick villagers, so the kindness of these doctors turned out to be hostile and resistant."

Zuo Li sighed: "Yes, many times, good things become bad things, and that's how it happens." ”
