Chapter 149: Let's Hear It
Dr. Hua told the director that every patient in the close contact area and the suspected case area should be informed, and inform their families to send utensils that can boil medicine, preferably a clay pot made of clay or something. Moreover, each family is responsible for boiling each family's traditional Chinese medicine, and the area where the medicine is boiled is located outside the isolation area.
Zuo Li admired Dr. Hua's cleverness, and the medical staff were not enough, so they could only mobilize the patient's family. In this way, the patient's family will decoct the medicine very responsibly, after all, it is to treat their own relatives.
It's already late in the evening when this one is arranged.
Chen Tianming had also completed the afternoon operation, and Dolei and the others had also returned from the inspection, and they were escorted by Dolei and returned to the barracks.
This time, Zuo Li asked Jin Yuji to get in the car first, and then Chen Tianming got in the car, and went up by himself to sit directly next to Chen Tianming.
Chen Tianming had no intention of evading it, and it could be seen that she was very tired and had no strength to toss about it.
Zuo Li asked with concern, "How is it?" Is surgery here different from in China? ”
Chen Tianming sighed: "Yes, I'm really tired, much more tired than in the Third Hospital." Because the nurses and doctors can't help at all, they basically rely on themselves. They don't know everything, they don't even know all the surgical instruments, and they don't know what to use. And I don't even have basic medical knowledge, surgical instruments are placed indiscriminately, and mineral water is used for abdominal cleaning! I'm going crazy, no wonder the mortality rate is so high. ”
"Really?" Zuo Li glanced back at Dr. Hua who was sitting in the back row, "I heard Dr. Hua say that the doctor here uses mineral water to flush the abdominal cavity, is this really the case?" ”
"That's right," Chen Tianming looked helpless, "I said, I must use normal saline, otherwise I won't do this kind of surgery, I have to do it themselves, because rinsing with mineral water will definitely cause the patient to be infected, I don't want to carry the black pot." They promised to change it in the future, who knows if they will change it, things that are taken for granted, it is very difficult to change. ”
Dr. Hua also sighed and said: "Yes, there is no way, our area is the most remote and most severely affected place in the whole Congo. It's worse here than anywhere else, and the level of medical staff is even worse. ”
Fat Tiger Yao Mingming said: "I also feel this way today, those medical staff basically have no knowledge of infectious diseases, I think our top priority is not to treat the disease and save people, but to teach these doctors and nurses how to prevent infection, first do a good job of the medical staff's own safety, and then the second step is to think about how to save people." If you are cross-infected while saving people, so high mortality rate, the infected people are not saved, and the good people are infected with the virus and die, isn't this more than worth the loss? And our safety is at stake. ”
Zuo Li nodded and said: "Yes, what you just mentioned is very important, the education of local medical staff on infectious disease prevention knowledge must be carried out as soon as possible, if they don't understand, or do not do well, once infected, we will face real danger." ”
Captain Xiao said: "We are more worried about protective equipment, we have to find a way to find more protective equipment, this kind of single-layer protective clothing is too dangerous. I still recommend that we do not have direct contact with sick people until we have met the requirements of protection. Otherwise, you can't save others, and you still put your life on the line, which really outweighs the loss. Only by protecting oneself first can we save others, and we can't do it brutally. ”
Dr. Tong is a pediatrician, and it was the first time she had seen such a horrific scene, and she basically didn't speak all day. At this time, I heard everyone talking lively, and then said in a weak voice: "Yes, anyway, I don't dare to go in again until the protective clothing is ready." I have children at home! I had just been weaned, and I couldn't help but cry at the thought that I was going to die thousands of miles away in the African rainforest, and that my children would grow up and only see me in the photo......"
Speaking of the back, her voice was already choked.
Zuo Li said in a deep voice: "Indeed, the top priority is to find protective equipment. Before we came, the hospital donated a considerable amount of protective equipment, including goggles, masks, etc., but I haven't seen any of these materials now. If we are given some of this protective equipment, we will be enough. This is a donation from our country, and we should first ensure that our doctors can use it. ”
Fat Tiger said, "Who knows where these things are sent?" ”
Dr. Hua said: "It should be sent to the local **, which is about two hours' drive from the camp of our peacekeeping forces, but it is not far, but the road is not easy to walk." We'd better go back and find Team Leader Long and ask them to think of a way to communicate with them through the ** level. At least some of the protective equipment in our donated materials should be brought back to ensure the safety of our doctors. ”
Captain Xiao said: "Leave this matter to me, I'll do it." I'm sure other teams are having this problem as well. Together with them, I told the team leader that if we didn't have safety equipment, we would have to strike. ”
Several other people also shouted in unison: "Yes, yes, we can only strike." ”
Chen Tianming had just learned about this, and she asked Zuo Li in horror: "You only have one layer of protective clothing in the red zone?" It's so unsafe, you don't see the patient, right? ”
Zuo Li shrugged his shoulders and said with a relaxed look: "No, the protective clothing is not complete, we won't take risks, Team Leader Long has already said that we must give priority to protecting ourselves!" ”
Jin Yuji smiled and said in the back: "Doctor Zuo lied to you, I'm afraid you are worried, in fact, we have been diagnosing patients all afternoon, because Chinese medicine and Korean medicine have to cut the pulse when they see a doctor, and if they wear too thick gloves, they can't feel the pulse, so they only bring a layer of gloves." ”
Chen Tianming's face was like frost staring at Zuo Li.
Zuo Li smiled apologetically: "No way, Chinese medicine is like this, relying on fingers to cut the pulse." ”
Chen Tianming said worriedly: "Aren't you a combination of Chinese and Western medicine? You can use the testing equipment of Western medicine, even if you don't have the equipment, we can reflect it and ask for domestic assistance. ”
"No, the sight and hearing of traditional Chinese medicine cannot be replaced by Western medical testing methods. Don't worry, a layer of protective gloves will do, I'll be careful. But our top priority is to find more protective equipment, otherwise it will be too dangerous. ”
Chen Tianming gritted his teeth, thought about it, and stopped talking.
Their car returned to the barracks of the peacekeeping forces, and after getting out of the car, they went to eat first.
Zuo Li called Chen Tianming aside and asked, "You want to talk in the car, what do you want to say?" ”
Chen Tianming said: "I think it's useless to find the dragon leader, I heard that the ** bureaucracy here is very serious, and our materials are all donated, and it stands to reason that they are already at their disposal, and they will not be easily returned to us." At first, we didn't expect the medical conditions here to be so poor, and we thought that since it was to fight the Ebola virus, we should have basic protective equipment, but unfortunately there was none. ”
Zuo Li said: "That's right, if you want reinforcements from the country, it is far away and water can't quench your thirst, have you thought of any way?" ”
Chen Tianming nodded and said, "Yes, I have an idea, but let's take a look at the situation on Team Leader's side first." ”
"Team Leader Long's side is probably not playing, if you have any ideas, I'll hear it first."
