Chapter 159: Turnaround
The old man's right hand suddenly seemed to be cut off, and he instantly lost his follow-up strength and softened. Zuo Li carefully withdrew his hand from his grasp.
Jin Yuji was next to him, and when he saw it, he was so frightened that he lost his face, and said anxiously: "Quick! Why don't you go and disinfect it and see if it hurts? ”
Zuo Li nodded, and immediately grabbed his wrist with his hand, if the skin was pierced, maybe this would stop the blood. But he doesn't know if it's useful? He only hoped that his gloves would not be cut, but it was only a thin layer, and it was only an ordinary rubber glove, and it was not able to resist sharp objects at all.
His heart was pounding, and the image of the Ebola patient dying was constantly flashing in his mind like a movie picture. For the first time, he found himself so close to death. In the past, it seemed that I was watching the fire from the other side, but now, it is myself who is watching.
He quickly rushed to the disinfection room, first quickly cleaned the outside of the gloves with fluoride potion, and then carefully took off the gloves and checked the palms first. Fortunately, there were two deep pinch marks on my hands, but there was no broken skin, and I didn't see blood oozing out, so I was a little relieved.
He reached under the faucet and poured water into it.
He was very worried that the water would come out of a certain broken ** like a child peeing, which meant that the gloves were broken and he would be directly exposed to the virus.
His heart hung in the air.
Suddenly, he saw droplets of water dripping down his glove!
His heart paused.
The gloves are completely sealed, and it is impossible for water to seep out of intact gloves at all. Now there are water droplets on the surface of the glove, which means that the glove has a tear, although the broken mouth is not big, but it is still broken, as if opening a small window of the virus.
Jin Yuji anxiously asked outside the disinfection city, "How is it?" Then, he heard the same inquiry from Yao Mingming and the others, and it was obvious that they all knew.
"Wait! I'll come out. Zuo Li immediately changed his gloves, put on his protective clothing again, and walked out and said: "The gloves are broken, the mouth is not big, but it has been exposed to the virus, but there is no tear in the palm, and no bleeding has been seen." ”
Yao Mingming immediately said: "Hurry up and clean the place where you were caught, if you don't see bleeding, you may cut through the skin layer and cause an invisible infection!" ”
"I have been cleaned and disinfected just now, and now it is up to me. From now on, I need to quarantine for fourteen days. Prepare a tent for me, and I'll stay here and not go back to the medical center. ”
Everyone knows that according to the regulations, once exposed to the virus, the medical staff must be isolated immediately, and their hearts are heavy, this is the third day of coming.
Jin Yuji was so anxious that she was about to cry: "It's all my fault, I shouldn't have let you see this patient, woo woo woo ......"
"It's impossible to prevent it, and it has nothing to do with you."
Fat Tiger comforted: "Don't worry too much, human skin is a natural barrier, if there is no breach, the virus will not be able to enter, and it will not be infected." ”
Captain Xiao was also relieved: "Yes, I have worked in the infectious disease department for so many years, and I have been in contact with countless infectious patients, and I have never been infected, so I believe in myself." ”
Zuo Li smiled reluctantly, nodded and said, "Thank you, don't comfort me, let's get busy, I'll prescribe a prescription for myself first." ”
Zuo Li's mood has become extremely heavy at the moment.
He now knows first-hand the journey of patients who are highly suspicious of their cancer. That's what he is like now, because if he gets Zaire Ebola, it's a hundred times worse than cancer. Cancer generally lives for a few years, and even many of them survive with cancer for life, while the Ebola virus will not exceed a month from infection to death, and it will be a few days as fast, and it is a lifetime of death.
On this day, Zuo Li's brain was all confused.
He rejoined the treatment of patients, fearing that he would be infected, so he only treated confirmed patients who were already infected, avoiding close contacts who had no symptoms.
He tried to force himself to compose, which was easier said than done. He still worked hard to complete all the diagnosis and treatment work, and prescribed prescriptions in an orderly manner.
In the evening.
Yao Mingming said to Zuo Li: "Doctor Chen is here, outside the quarantine area. She said she wanted to talk to you, she already knew that your gloves were torn and that you might be infected and need to be quarantined. ”
Zuo Li had already disinfected and changed his clothes, walked to the edge of the red zone, and saw Chen Tianming, Qiang Niu, and Dolei standing outside the quarantine area from a distance. Chen Tianming's face was full of sadness.
Zuo Li stood a hundred steps away from them, looked at Chen Tianming and said, "I may be infected, I need to be quarantined for fourteen days, I live here, I can't go back with you, you have to take care of yourself." ”
Although Chen Tianming had expected this situation before, and had such mental preparations, when she really encountered it, she was broken, and tears poured down without speaking. Choked up and said, "Why are you so careless?" I told you to be careful. ”
Jin Yuji cried and said, "It's all my fault, I asked Dr. Zuo to help me see a patient, but the patient suddenly grabbed his hand." Nails were cut through a single layer of gloves. I was supposed to go, but I was hurt when he helped me, and I blamed him. ”
Zuo Li said: "I said I don't blame you, danger is everywhere." Don't worry, the gloves are not broken. The water is only dripping out slowly, and the skin is not damaged, so the probability of infection is relatively small, mainly just in case, so it's good to isolate it, rest assured. ”
Chen Tianming nodded and said to Zuo Li: "You have to use traditional Chinese medicine to regulate yourself, you have to relax." ”
Zuo Li smiled and said: "There is nothing that cannot be assured, anyway, there is no phone here, and there is no mobile phone signal, just take this time to see more patients, and be able to save more patients, maybe it's a good thing!" ”
Saying a stack of voices urging them to hurry back in the car, seeing that it was dark, Chen Tianming was reluctant to get into the car, and Jin Yuji kept crying, she wanted to say that she would stay with Zuo Li, but she knew that it was impossible, so she still didn't say it.
Seeing them off, Zuo Li returned to his tent. The black director came to see him and told him what he needed, and they would find a way.
As soon as Zuo Li stopped, his head was full of things that he might be infected with deadly germs, and he had to make his head tense.
Therefore, he told the director that he would continue to go to the ward to see the patients and adjust the medication at any time.
He put on three layers of protective clothing again, but he still only wore one layer of protective gloves on his hands, and he needed to check his pulse.
The director called two local doctors and nurses who could communicate with him in English to follow him to the ward, and after a day of confusion, Zuo Li had gradually calmed down and focused on curing the disease.
On this night, several more patients vomited blood and died in their hospital beds.
He diagnoses and treats mild patients one by one, but severe cases are all used in batches, and now that he has time, he decided to diagnose and treat them one by one individually, which is more targeted.
However, he soon discovered that in the critical care ward, patients needed more first aid than decoction, which was too slow.
In the face of a dying patient, he began to choose to use Western medicine for final resuscitation. Maybe if you get through this hurdle, the patient will be able to usher in a turnaround.
