Chapter 165: Unknown Disease
After Lin Xiaohuan knew that Zhou Ranran understood about this, she felt a lot more relaxed, thanked Liu Li well, and went to the dormitory building with everyone.
After only a few steps, she suddenly stopped and said, "By the way, Ran Ran, Brother Su asked me to tell you something, which has something to do with your brother." β
Wang Min and the others didn't suspect it when they heard it, after all, it was Company Commander Su who went to her in the morning, so they waved their hands to the two, and everyone went upstairs first.
Zhou Ranran understood her careful thoughts, if she really had something to convey, she didn't say a word for a long time in the morning, and she suddenly remembered it, who are you teasing.
Together, the two of them came to a lawn where no one was around.
"That disease could be hepatitis C." Zhou Ranran didn't wait for Lin Xiaohuan to ask, so he took the initiative to speak.
"Hepatitis C?" Lin Xiaohuan was a little surprised, she knew about hepatitis C, but didn't Liu Li say anything about non-A and non-B hepatitis?
Zhou Ranran guessed that she would be strange, so she explained: "In 89, a scientist in country M discovered the hepatitis C virus, and the name hepatitis C was only known to everyone in the 90s, before that, everyone only knew that it was hepatitis caused by a virus infection, and it was different from the known hepatitis A and hepatitis B, so everyone called it non-A and non-B hepatitis B, and some people called it A non-B non-hepatitis , because the English names of hepatitis A and hepatitis B were HAV and HBV respectively. β
"Oh......" Lin Xiaohuan nodded with her mouth slightly open, with a look of knowledge.
In the 21st century, she only knew what they were hepatitis and what their names were, and she didn't know what they were found or where they came from.
"If you said it was only known in the 90s, why would you suspect that it was hepatitis C, and that there were not hepatitis D and hepatitis E?" Lin Xiaohuan continued to ask, feeling that there should be other reasons.
When Zhou Ranran heard this, she immediately looked at her, "How do you know that hepatitis also has hepatitis D and hepatitis E?" β
Although she likes to go to the library to read books, it is impossible for her to know about this, because at this time, hepatitis E and hepatitis C have not yet been named, and they have always been collectively referred to as non-A and non-B hepatitis B.
"I used to have a very developed network at that time, except for the secrets controlled by the state, only you didn't check it, and there was nothing you couldn't check, and I had a friend who worked in a hospital and heard her say something." Lin Xiaohuan responded truthfully.
Zhou Ranran nodded understandingly, and slowed down for a few seconds before asking, "Then have you heard of AIDS?" β
"I've heard that, I've been checked before." Lin Xiaohuan responded very casually.
Who knew that in the next second, Zhou Ranran stared at her with a frown, and her eyes were very weird and weird.
Lin Xiaohuan was covered in goosebumps by her, and was feeling inexplicable, so she suddenly thought of something, and quickly clarified: "Don't get me wrong, I just went to the blood station with my friends to donate blood, and she said that the blood station will do further screening after collecting blood, in addition to hepatitis B and C, there are AIDS and syphilis infection items, and if there is a problem with the blood, the blood station will call me to inform ......"
"Did you get the notice?" Zhou Ranran suddenly asked coldly.
Lin Xiaohuan shook her head naturally, and then reacted to the meaning of her words, glaring at her, "You mean it, don't think it's older than me, I don't dare to do it." β
"I don't doubt that you dare to do it, but the problem is that you can't beat me." Zhou Ranran responded with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his tone was also very determined.
Lin Xiaohuan was so angry that he took a few deep breaths before he continued: "Don't talk about it, hurry up and get down to business, how do you suspect it, and why do you want to ask where his house is?" β
Zhou Ranran's mood was a little lighter because of the joke, but he became a little heavy when he heard this.
She looked at Lin Xiaohuan and said in a deep voice: "Xiaohuan, since you know that hepatitis C is an infectious disease, do you know what the transmission routes are?" β
"I don't know about the rest, I just know about blood-borne transmission." Lin Xiaohuan continued.
She still remembers that Xiaoqian told herself when she was a student at the medical university that all infectious diseases can be transmitted through blood.
"Yes, blood-borne transmission is the main way." Zhou Ranran nodded, suddenly looked at her again and then spoke: "For example, if you go to donate blood, you are likely to be infected with hepatitis C." β
"No, we donated blood at the blood station in the city center, which is a regular national medical institution." Lin Xiaohuan answered with a smile.
At that time, everyone's awareness of medical safety was very strong, whether it was a hospital or a blood station, all the consumables for blood collection were disposable, and it was still very safe.
"It's a pity that we're not like that now." Zhou Ranran sighed faintly.
The smile on Lin Xiaohuan's face paused, and his expression immediately changed, "What do you mean?" Ranran, can you not turn a corner? Tell me directly what the situation is now. β
She was a little flustered, Ran Ran first talked about hepatitis C and the way of transmission, and then mentioned blood transfusion and blood donation, which made her feel a little hairy.
Zhou Ranran looked at her eyes and understood that she had vaguely guessed, so she simply said directly: "Now and even in the early 90s, there are private blood stations in many places in China, and everyone is not free to donate blood, and because of the non-standard management and operation, in the late 80s and early 90s, many places with private blood stations began to be infected, among which hepatitis C and AIDS were the most rampant. β
Even though Lin Xiaohuan had suspicions, she still felt creepy when she heard her confirm it in person.
Just like when she saw those reused needles during her physical examination last year, she was terrified from the bottom of her heart.
Her teeth chattered a little, "You mean our senior was infected because of this?" β
"Yin County is the place where blood donation causes the most serious hepatitis C infection, and it shocked the whole country after it was discovered by the investigation, and it is also the first place I can think of when I mention hepatitis C, so I will first ask his home address." Zhou Ranran replied.
"Don't they know how terrible the consequences of unsafe blood transfusion can be......" Lin Xiaohuan's expression was a little dazed.
Zhou Ranran looked at her, "The medical and health industry is constantly developing, and the awareness of medical safety is also accumulating and popularizing in tragedies again and again, you live in a beautiful era, and a lot of cruelty is something you dare not imagine." β
"What about you? Have you experienced and known this, can you ignore it? Lin Xiaohuan suddenly turned his head to look at her.
These words made Zhou Ranran's heart tremble, and something in his heart seemed to be slowly recovering.
Suppressing that complex and contradictory emotion, she asked Lin Xiaohuan rhetorically, "You and I are not saviors, a disease that is not recognized by everyone, how can you prevent it?" β
"Then let everyone know about it." Lin Xiaohuan responded word by word, "In fact, it doesn't matter if you recognize it or not, as long as you let everyone know that unsafe blood donation will cause this disease infection." β
Zhou Ranran didn't reply, stared at her eyes tightly, and saw a touch of resoluteness in her black pupils.
It's just that she's probably going to be disappointed.
"You're so naΓ―ve." Zhou Ranran looked at her, "Lin Xiaohuan, a person will only consider health problems if he solves the problem of food and clothing, the reason why so many people sell blood is because they lack money, and you use an unknown disease to dissuade others from making money, do you think it is possible?" β
This rhetorical question made Lin Xiaohuan slowly lower her head, and she once again realized the helplessness of this era.
