Chapter 146: High Probability
Dr. Tong was so frightened that he hid behind Jin Yuji, who was still trying to comfort Dr. Tong despite her pale face.
Zuo Li and the others now know that the difference between the so-called confirmed case area and the suspected case area is just the difference between imminent death and death.
The local medical conditions do not even make it possible to accurately distinguish between suspected cases and confirmed cases, so there is a situation where there are a large number of suspected cases in the area where they should be confirmed cases. And what they think is diagnosed is actually someone who is about to die.
Zuo Li lived at the door, so he waved his hand and motioned for everyone to withdraw.
It is currently impossible to enter because the mortality rate of Ebola haemorrhagic fever is 90%, and there is basically no chance that patients who are dying will survive. It is still necessary to focus on the suspected case area, and truly separate the suspected cases from the confirmed medical records, so as to avoid people who are not infected from being accepted as suspected cases for cross-infection, which can at least save the lives of some innocent people.
After seeing the two quarantine areas, it was almost noon, so they came out to disinfect and change clothes, and then ate in the canteen of the quarantine area, which was also full of Western-style fast food such as bread, sandwiches, and milk. Chen Tianming: They didn't come.
Zuo Li took the bread and went to the white area to look for Chen Tianming, but he didn't find it, and he didn't see the bull, and he asked the medical staff to find out that Chen Tianming and the bull were in the operating room, and they were operating on the patient with local doctors and nurses, and there were several surgeries to be done today, and it was estimated that it would not end until the evening.
Zuo Li was very strange how the bull also entered the operating room, could it be that he went into the operating room to protect Chen Tianming?
After asking, I found out that these medical staff could not understand professional medical English, so Chen Tianming lacked assistants, so he simply called the strong cow who could communicate freely with her and understand the instructions to help deliver surgical instruments, retractors or something, which was more convenient than using local doctors and nurses. So Hu Niu was temporarily called into the operating room by Chen Tianming as a male nurse.
Zuo Li was a little funny, he originally said that the bull didn't know what medical team to participate in, but now he really uses it. It seems that people should not be disguised.
Zuo Li asked the tower-like black colonel Dorey again, and after learning that Dolei sent Chen Tianming and them here to hand over, he really left the patrol with the soldiers, and was not in the white area.
Zuo Li then returned to the red zone.
After eating, Captain Xiao asked Zuo Li, "What should we do when we go back?" ”
Zuo Li said: "I have to wait for Chen Tianming's side, she still has surgery in the afternoon." We'll be able to go back together in the evening. ”
Captain Xiao originally wanted to say that he would send them back first, and then come back to pick up Chen Tianming, but it was just a car, and it was a strong ox driving it, and he estimated that they would not agree to this plan, so he didn't mention it.
Zuo Li said to Captain Xiao, "You guys rest in the rest area. I went to the suspected case area to see if the patient could be diagnosed and treated with the advanced nature of traditional Chinese medicine. ”
Dr. Hua said, "I'll go with you too." ”
Captain Xiao said, "Didn't you say before that you can't touch the patient? to prevent infection. Let's wait until we go back and solve the problem of protective clothing. ”
Zuo Li said: "Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to looking, hearing, inquiring, and cutting, if you don't cut the pulse, you can't see the disease." And to cut the pulse, wear three layers of protective gloves, and even the pulse is estimated to be intangible. So even with enough protective equipment, I still have to use three fingers and a layer of gloves to touch the patient's pulse. So for the hands we use to cut the pulse, there is no need to increase the number of layers of gloves, it is possible now. ”
Dr. Hua also said, "Yes, my father and I used to use gloves to see Ebola patients. It's just to cut the pulse accurately. ”
Captain Xiao nodded: "In this case, well, in fact, human skin is the natural barrier of the human body, as long as the skin is not damaged, the contact with the patient is short, and the hands are cleaned in a timely and thorough manner, it should not be infected." You two must be careful. ”
Zuo Li and Doctor Hua were about to enter the red zone, but they were stopped by Jin Yuji, who gritted her teeth and said to Zuo Li, "I'll go with you too." ”
"No way!" Zuo Li shook his head, "It's too dangerous!" ”
"I don't need your consent. I can decide my own behavior because, too, I am a doctor. ”
Jin Yuji's words made Zuo Li stunned for a moment, yes, why didn't he allow others to go? Who is she? They are doctors sent by South Korea and have their own freedom of movement.
Zuo Li had no choice but to nod: "Okay then." ”
Jin Yuji seemed to notice that her words were a little hurtful, and added softly: "I know that you are for my good, but Korean medicine also needs to diagnose the pulse to cure the disease." So I had to go, and I could only wear a pair of gloves when I saw a doctor in the future. - Don't worry, I will follow you and will not mess around. ”
Zuo Li smiled and nodded.
But the black director didn't understand why they were going to the isolation ward again, didn't they just see it?
Zuo Li struggled to tell him in English to go in and cut the patient's pulse, which was the need of Chinese medicine to see a doctor. But the director didn't know much about Chinese medicine, and he didn't know what pulse cutting was after listening to it for a long time.
Dr. Hua stepped forward and said a few words to the director in the local language, and the director immediately nodded in understanding, and made an OK gesture.
Zuo Li was very strange and asked Dr. Hua: "I said it for a long time and he didn't understand, how can you understand it in one sentence, what are you talking about?" ”
Dr. Hua smiled and said in Chinese: "I'll just tell him, don't ask, you don't understand, he said it's OK." ”
Jin Yuji burst out laughing: "Hua Lao, you are really funny." ”
The three of them entered the red zone locker room, put on a single layer of protective clothing again, and accompanied by the director, entered the suspected case area.
They saw the patients separately, and the director assigned a local doctor to each of the three of them to help interpret because they had to consult a doctor. The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has been a French colony for a long time, and the official language is French, although English is also popular, but many locals can rarely speak English except for simple French, and many even can only speak the local language, which must be translated.
Because there were so many patients, the beds were so crowded that there was no place to put a stool. Zuo Li could only hold the patient's wrist with one hand and check his pulse with the other, while observing the patient's face and asking questions in English, with the local doctor behind him interpreting.
Zuo Li saw a black man for the first time, and soon found that the visit was very different from that in China. Because blacks have dark skin, they are completely different from yellows. After seeing a few patients, he felt that the problem was becoming more and more of an obstacle, so he went to Dr. Hua to ask for the main points of visiting the local black people.
Jin Yuji also encountered the same problem, and when she heard Zuo Li asking Doctor Hua, she also came over to ask. Dr. Hua happily shared his insights and told Zuo Li and the two of them.
After Dr. Hua's guidance, Zuo Li and Jin Yuji found that there were actually many rules to follow for visiting blacks, and they quickly found these rules, and put the rules they were accustomed to into it, and they could implement it.
Zuo Li's pulse can quickly detect the extent of the patient's infection, and if he finds that the patient has organ failure, it means that the patient has been infected with the Ebola virus all over his body. This kind of patient has no power to recover and can only give up. For some patients who have just been infected, Zuo Li will diagnose and treat them very carefully and carefully formulate prescriptions, and the probability of saving such patients is much greater.
