Chapter XXXIV Obstetric Viral Infections
The next day, Du Wei woke up with a headache.
Feeling the soreness all over his body, Du Wei sighed, grabbed the pills on the bedside table and poured them into his mouth like jelly beans.
As the analgesic pills took effect, Du Wei stood up like a nobody.
Washing, dressing, going out, taking the car, going to work.
Before the plot of the target character unfolds, this is Du Wei's daily life.
Today, Du Wei came before all the doctors in the diagnostics department.
He was no longer satisfied with the feeling of waiting slowly in the diagnostic department.
If he remembered correctly, an infectious disease was about to spread across the floor in the maternity department of the Princeton Affiliated Hospital.
If he can catch up, it will undoubtedly be the most lifespan that can be gained in a short period of time.
So while the others hadn't gone to work, Du Wei went to the obstetrics department to hang out.
Obstetrics is busiest in the early morning.
Nurses are busy checking the baby, bathing the baby, etc., and the doctor is asking about the mother's condition.
So at this time, the obstetrics department was full of baby cries one after another, and there was a posture of you singing and we appearing.
Amid the baby's crying, a young father suddenly hurried out of the ward.
When he saw Du Wei in a white coat, his eyes lit up, his furrowed eyebrows immediately opened, and then he walked forward quickly and said:
"Doctor, could you please take a look at our child? She had vomited for the second time in an hour. ”
Hearing the question, Du Wei subconsciously replied:
"Spit up? This is quite common for newborns.
After all, it is normal to have just come out of the amniotic fluid and feel uncomfortable. ”
The young man insisted:
"Sorry, doctor, because this is our first child, maybe we're all making a bit of a fuss.
But her mother is very worried, and if it is not troublesome, please come and let her be at ease. ”
This somewhat familiar conversation suddenly made Du Wei's face solemn.
"Okay, let's go check it out."
As soon as she entered the ward, the young mother immediately raised her head and looked at Du Wei like a savior:
"Doctor, come and see if she has a fever?"
Du Wei carefully held the baby's soft neck and held it in his hand, and then gently touched his forehead with his free hand.
"It's really hot, and it's very bad......"
Hearing Du Wei say this, his mother immediately interrupted Du Wei worriedly:
"Doctor, is the problem serious?"
Before Du Wei could speak, the baby in his hand suddenly became convulsive.
Looking at the baby who had a sudden seizure, Du Wei had confirmed the conjecture in his heart.
The epidemic has broken out!
He immediately shouted:
"I need help here, get the ambulance here!"
Seeing this scene, the young mother immediately stood up from the bed with a pout, and asked nervously:
"Doctor, what's going on with her? Do I need an infusion? Will it hurt her life? Wouldn't that be ......?"
In the face of his mother's continuous questioning, Du Wei just stretched out his hand and motioned for her to stop asking.
"Can you leave everything to a professional?"
The mother slowly sat down under Du Wei's calm gaze, her eyes still resting on the baby who had just had a convulsion.
Soon the obstetric nurses in blue nurse uniforms arrived in a hurry.
When they saw Du Wei, they were stunned.
There is no such doctor in obstetrics.
Immediately someone asked:
"Who are you? Did you know that this is an obstetrics? ”
Du Wei pointed to the identity card:
"I'm Dr. Du Wei, a diagnostician, and I happened to be passing through this here.
I suspect a viral infection and now need to isolate all nearby symptomatic babies. ”
The nurse looked at Du Wei suspiciously.
The maternity nurses in three shifts have irregular meal times and rarely go to the cafeteria.
They spend almost all of their time in obstetrics.
So I haven't met this new intern.
Now she is very suspicious of Du Wei's identity.
Because the direction of the diagnostic department is not on the side of the obstetrics, who would believe it if it is passing by?
It can't be here to steal children, right?
Besides, they'd never heard of Dr. House's extra assistant, and the more Du Wei looked at it, the more suspicious he became.
"Sir, this is the obstetrics, let's take care of the rest, now please get out."
Looking at the nurse's questioning eyes and politely driving people away, Du Wei didn't know that it was because of his identity that made him question.
No way, interns are like this, most of the departments in this hospital don't know such a number one person as Du Wei.
The other party didn't call the security guards, which can be regarded as restraint.
Du Wei shook his head and tried to warn again:
"This is really a viral infection, please isolate other babies as soon as possible, otherwise the spread of the virus, the little ones will not be able to resist at all."
Seeing that Du Wei hadn't thought about leaving, the nurse in front of him immediately showed a fierce look on his face:
"Sir, please get out, at once!
Otherwise I'm going to call security! ”
Du Wei shook his head and gave up his place to the nurse in front of him.
Then he walked non-stop to the diagnostic department conference room.
It's just time to go to work.
If nothing else, House should not have been to the clinic at this time.
He needed House to be involved in this, otherwise his position as an intern would be too humiliating.
Soon, Dewey, who pushed the door in, immediately attracted the attention of Chase, who was playing a charade, and Furman, who was bored with a pen.
Furman saw that Du Wei, who had missed the work time and came in, was like catching a great lottery loophole, and said with a bright eye:
"Boy, you won't say your attendance is okay this time, will you?
It's 10 minutes later than the start time!
For an undisciplined guy like you, I think you'd better intern in another hospital.
We can't afford you. ”
Du Wei ignored Furman and walked directly to House, who was sitting in a circle in an ergonomic chair.
Seeing that Du Wei directly ignored himself, Furman didn't say how uncomfortable he was.
His face was swollen and red, and he stood up and wanted to grab Du Wei's shoulder.
But at this time, Du Wei's words had already sounded in this small conference room.
"House, I think something is wrong with the obstetrics and the baby is showing signs of a suspected viral infection.
But the obstetrician thinks it's a common intestinal obstruction and isn't ready to isolate other children.
I have reason to suspect that there will be a massive infection right away. ”
As soon as Du Wei's words came out, he instantly shocked the four people present.
Even Furman forgot for a moment what he was about to do.
Widespread viral infections are no joke.
In particular, this virus is aimed at infants, and if the infant is infected with the virus and is not treated quickly, the mortality rate will be extremely high!
And the baby carries the hope of a new family.
If there is a large-scale infant death, then it is a question whether the hospital can continue to open!
House was also full of solemnity, for now, although Du Wei was an intern, he didn't judge that he had missed it.
Since Du Wei said so, there will be some basis for it, so he can't ignore it.
House ignored the confusion as to why Du Wei appeared in obstetrics, and said in a deep voice:
"Let's go to the intensive care unit."
