Chapter 42: Someone Poisoned
Listening to Xu Qingfeng's words, Tang Xiaotang covered his mouth with his hand and endured not letting himself laugh out loud.
This Xu Qingfeng is also a little old man with a black belly, so cute.
"Yes, Doctor Xu, I will follow the doctor's instructions and serve the general well to take medicine." Tang Xiaotang nodded and agreed seriously.
"Okay, you go and grasp the medicine first, this time I won't look at it, you go and catch it yourself, and show me when you catch it." After speaking, Xu Qingfeng left with his hands behind his back and went to see the herbs he was drying in the open space.
Tang Xiaotang cleaned up the empty medicine bowl first and put it away. I grabbed the medicine according to yesterday's prescription.
Today's medical clinic is particularly lively, mainly because there are several new young people, Xu Qingfeng feels that the popularity here has increased a lot, and even the soldiers who came to them for diagnosis and treatment have also increased.
"Strange, why are there so many soldiers with diarrhea this morning?" Xiao Mozhu muttered, standing behind Zhuo Songbai with his arms crossed, watching him just finish checking a soldier who came to see diarrhea and was seriously prescribing medicine, he couldn't help but ask the question in his heart.
"Yes, I also received a few cases of diarrhea today." Qian Yingying, who was packing up paper and pen next to her, heard it and felt strange, so many soldiers had diarrhea in the morning?
"It's not good, large-scale diarrhea, shouldn't it be ......" Qian Yingying said as she spoke, suddenly frowning, and she was a little scared in her heart, if it was a large-scale diarrhea in the barracks at the same time, it would be a big trouble. Could it be dysentery or a sudden outbreak of other epidemic infections?
The more Qian Yingying thought about it, the more she was afraid, if there was really a large-scale outbreak of infectious diseases in the army, it would be equivalent to the army losing its armed capability, and the consequences would be terrible! It's serious!
"Don't panic yet, let's sort out the characteristics of this morning's cases together and see what the symptoms are." Zhuo Songbai did not follow the two of them to shout in a panic, in an orderly manner, the first thing that came to mind was to sort out and analyze the patient's data, sort out the law of the problem and then make a conclusion.
Although Zhuo Songbai said this, he also frowned, what Qian Yingying could think of, he also thought of, but he pretended to be calm and did not show it so obviously.
Zhuo Songbai glanced at Qian Yingying and motioned for her to go outside to talk.
Qian Yingying nodded knowingly, got up and explained to Xiao Mozhu that he should take care of the patients waiting in the medical clinic first, and asked Xiao Cui to come over to help, and then got up and followed Zhuo Songbai out of the tent of the medical clinic.
The two found a secluded place, Zhuo Songbai looked around cautiously, and found that there was no one, so he said:
"Senior sister, what do you think of today's condition?"
"Senior brother, so many people are sick at the same time, do you think it could be dysentery or some kind of contagious epidemic breaking out in the barracks?" Qian Yingying first told Zhuo Songbai about the doubts she thought of.
"That's what I thought at first, but after a careful recall, the patients I received showed no signs of fever, so what are the symptoms of your patients?" When Zhuo Songbai came out of the tent, he had already filtered the symptoms of the patients he had received in his mind.
He found that the common denominator of the patients he received was sudden diarrhea and no symptoms of vomiting or fever. These symptoms are somewhat different from the onset of dysentery, so he wants to compare the characteristics of the disease with Qian Yingying and then make further analysis.
"Well...... Qian Yingying is not as meticulous and careful as Zhuo Songbai, and when she was asked by her senior brother, she also carefully recalled the characteristics of the patients she received.
"There doesn't seem to be a fever patient...... Qian Yingying struggled to recall the patient's characteristics.
"Yes, there is no fever and vomiting, and most people report that their onset time is very close, not long after breakfast!" After recalling the patient's characteristics and oral medical history, Qian Yingying quickly deduced another important clue.
"Okay, good, now we can rule out the possibility of an outbreak!" Zhuo Songbai nodded.
Although the epidemic can be ruled out, so many people suddenly have diarrhea after breakfast, which has to make him even more worried, could it be that someone took the opportunity to poison the food?
"A few people in our medical clinic didn't have diarrhea, but they also ate the pasta made by the husband in the morning." Qian Yingying realized that her senior brother was worried, so she analyzed what was drugged in it?
They and the soldiers all ate the same pasta in the morning, but the porridge in the morning was made by Xiao Cui, and in addition to eating pasta, some of the soldiers drank cold water......
"The water is poisonous!" "Water!"
At the same time, the two thought of the possibility of being poisoned in the water, and said the answer in their hearts in unison.
"Hurry up and tell Dr. Xu and see what he can do!" Zhuo Songbai took the lead in turning around and walked towards the medical clinic.
"You wait for me." Qian Yingying chased after him and walked back after him.
At this time, there were more and more patients in the medical clinic, and the queue outside the tent had already begun to form. Xu Qingfeng has also discovered the seriousness of the problem.
At the beginning, he felt that the first few patients with diarrhea were not serious, so he let Zhuo Songbai and Qian Yingying take over the diagnosis and treatment, Qian Yingying's medical skills he was relieved, Zhuo Songbai's medical skills he had not seen yet, and wanted to test Zhuo Songbai by the way, to see how his ability was, and whether he had the ability to give him some patient diagnosis and treatment tasks with confidence.
But when he saw so many soldiers with diarrhea gathered in the tent, he couldn't help but be secretly worried in his heart, so he hurriedly entered the medical clinic, and didn't see Zhuo Songbai and Qian Yingying, so he could only learn about the situation with Mozhu first.
"Doctor Xu!" Zhuo Songbai entered the medical clinic, and when he saw that Xu Qingfeng was also there, he hurriedly crossed the queue of patients, squeezed and moved to Xu Qingfeng's side, and whispered a few words in his ear.
"Really?" After listening to Zhuo Songbai's narration, Xu Qingfeng's brows furrowed.
"Yes, Brother Qian and I both think so." Zhuo Songbai said seriously.
"Come out with me!" Xu Qingfeng looked at the patients around him and felt that this was not the place to talk about this matter, so he pulled Zhuo Songbai's shirt and asked him to go outside with him to talk in detail.
When the two left the medical clinic, they saw that Qian Yingying was already outside the tent and began to treat the soldiers who were waiting to see a doctor.
"Doctor Xu, the symptoms of the patients here and the situation before the onset of the disease, I made a rough statistics, most of them got sick after eating breakfast this morning, and they ate the same pasta as us in the morning, but all the people who have diarrhea have a common feature, that is, they all drank the boiled water in the room this morning." Qian Yingying was not verbose, and directly recounted the information about the onset process that the soldiers told her about the disease process that she had counted, and briefly retold it to Xu Qingfeng.
"In the morning, the staple food was the same as what we ate, and after that, we didn't drink the water in the room, we ate rice porridge cooked by ourselves."
Therefore, the people in the medical clinic, as well as the soldiers who did not drink the boiling water made by the water room, were all in good health and did not have diarrhea, only the soldiers who drank the boiling water boiled in the room had diarrhea.
"Someone poisoned boiling water"
