Chapter 252: Epidemiological History

Although MERS has the highest mortality rate for patients who are older or have more underlying diseases, the possibility of serious illness is relatively low with the current physical quality of "Kim Ji-gyu".

But once infected, it still has a great impact on his physical state, thinking and logical ability.

Crucially, the virus would limit his freedom.

It's impossible for Gu Ji to be infected with MERS and still run around, right?

But at the moment, he can't care so much, and he must collect more information and intelligence as soon as possible for analysis and evaluation.

Don't look at him, relying on his public health knowledge and memory, he has a general understanding of the context of the event.

However, the written record cannot replace the whole picture of reality, it is just a summary and summary, often one or two sentences are just a few words, and behind it may be the results of the discussion and action of hundreds of government officials and medical personnel.

And.

This level is also a great opportunity to test if Classic Mode can change history.

"It's a pity that judging from the opening time of the game, no matter what, I can't stop MERS from flowing into South Korea, and I can only try to reduce the scale of its spread."

Gu Ji followed behind the white-haired uncle and soon came to the respiratory department on the first floor.

Classified according to the biosafety level of the virus.

Viruses that can cause serious diseases in humans or animals, or cause serious economic losses, belong to class III viruses, such as HIV virus, SARS virus, and MERS also belong to this class.

Emergency response to Class III emerging and imported infectious viruses.

When the clinical diagnosis is confirmed, the medical institution should report to the CDC of the local government within two hours by the fastest means of communication and provide the infection report information.

Then the CDC in the jurisdiction will immediately infect the professionals of the department, rush to the place where the virus is confirmed, carry out epidemiological investigation, and carry out emergency management.

So, from this point of view.

The goal of the game is actually the same as Gu Ji's current first processing direction.

The advantage of MERS levels over cruise levels is that they are not closed scenes.

As long as he has the ability to confirm the virus and report it to the CDC, he will be able to obtain a large amount of material resources and personnel support from the central government in Seoul, South Korea, which is simply not possible at the cruise checkpoint.

But there are two sides to everything.

It is precisely because MERS occurs on land that the number of personnel, epidemiological information, and the difficulty of site closure and control are also several times that of cruise ship checkpoints!

So.

Before the virus spreads on a large scale, the sooner it is intervened and controlled, the easier it will be to deal with it later.

So Gu Ji took out the phone, checked the phone number of the KCDC Korea Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and dialed the number without hesitation.

"Anihasseyo ......"

"Hello, I'm Kim Ji-gyu, the prosecutor of the Public Security Department of the Seoul Central District Prosecutor's Office, when I was investigating a case in the hospital, I found that an adult male was suspected of carrying a virulent infectious disease, I hope you can send someone to investigate it as soon as possible! Yes, the location is the emergency room of Seoul Sansang Hospital. ”

He knows that there is no evidence of a diagnosis now, and it is difficult for the CDC to believe it.

After all, various government departments in South Korea receive hundreds of thousands of harassing calls every day, and in order to attract the attention of the other party, he can only use his identity.

Anyway, the game arranges this role for him, so he has to make full use of all resources.

As soon as the words "prosecutor of the Public Security Section" came out, I don't believe that KCDC is not afraid, after all, they are specialized in investigating terrorist attacks and major public security incidents.

After hanging up the phone.

In the department, the white-haired uncle's condition seemed to be more serious, and the persistent high fever and cough made it difficult for him to stand on his own, so he could only lie trembling on the examination table by the wall.

Gu Ji stood outside the door and listened.

The person in charge of the consultation was a middle-aged uncle in his forties, with single eyelids, slender eyes, a pair of black-framed glasses, and a very serious speech and demeanor, with the badge of the white coat reading: Chief Physician of the Respiratory Department, Han Jaeyuan.

"Professor Han, the patient said that he was in pain, feeling very cold, short of breath, I measured, his body temperature and blood pressure were very high."

The female nurse told the truth about what she had found at the triage desk.

It's mid-to-late May, and the temperature in South Korea is rising every day, but the white-haired man is still wearing a gray cotton jacket, which shows how serious his chills are.

Han Jae-won walked over with a stethoscope and a thermometer.

"Measure him again, how long has this symptom lasted?"

"Ahem...... It seems that for five or six days, I used to prescribe some medicine at a clinic near my home, but I didn't get better, so I went to Pyeongtaek Marie Hospital, but the symptoms got worse and worse, and I finally came here. ”

"Have you had pneumonia before, how is your heart?"

"No, I have high blood pressure and my heart is not very good......"

Han Jae-won asked, and the white-haired uncle answered.

Soon, the doctor ran the stethoscope down the patient's abdomen and into his chest.

And in this position, the distance between the two is very close, and every time the white-haired uncle coughs, the air flow and droplets will roll up to the top of Han Jaewon's head.

MERS can spread in two ways:

Respiratory transmission and close contact transmission, such as through saliva, blood, or air.

If you don't wear a mask in close proximity like the one you have now, you can get infected.

"There are indeed some arrhythmias and murmurs, Hee Zhen, after taking the body temperature, take the patient to take a chest X-ray and CT first."

"Okay, Professor Han."

"Wait a minute."

Just when the female nurse Hee Jin had just agreed to Han Jae-won, a word of interruption suddenly came from outside the door, it was Gu Ji.

Inside the house.

Han Jae-won, Hee Jin, and the white-haired uncle's wife who was in charge of escorting him all looked at him with suspicious eyes.

Maybe it's because Gu Ji didn't say honorifics.

Han Jaewon's face is not too good-looking.

"Are you a family member of a patient?"

"Why are you again! Ahem, are you looking for trouble? Changchan! Changchan! ”

The white-haired uncle endured his drowsy head and pain, stiffened his head, and saw that Gu Ji was the man in the suit who had just clashed with him at the triage desk, and suddenly jumped out with anger, and called his son vigorously.

The female nurse Hee-jeong also took the opportunity to whisper what happened to the doctor.

Han Jaeyuan suddenly understood, and quickly looked Gu Ji up and down.

Maybe it's because he is dressed in a black casual suit, and he looks like he is not ordinary, and the other party has not turned his face, but he can work at Seoul Sansang Hospital, Han Jaewon is naturally not afraid, and directly stretched out his hand and said coldly: "Sir, please leave here immediately, don't interfere with the doctor's treatment, otherwise I will call the security guard!" ”

"I'm not here to cause trouble, Seoul Central District Inspectorate, Kim Ji-gyu."

As he spoke, Gu Ji took out the prosecutor's ID from his arms.

Several people were taken aback by this sentence in an instant, especially the white-haired uncle and his wife, whose eyes widened as if they were about to fall out of their sockets, and even their bodies trembled slightly.

This shows the status of prosecutors in the minds of South Koreans.

"Excuse me, Mr. Prosecutor, do you have any questions?" Although he was not flustered, he could feel that Han Jaeyuan's tone was obviously more polite than before.

"As far as I know, Pyeongtaek Marie Hospital is also a very large private general hospital, and the quality of doctors is not low, and the condition has not improved after five or six days of continuous treatment, isn't it worth doubting that this may not be ordinary pneumonia."

When Gu Ji said this.

Han Jaewon's slender eyes unconsciously revealed a wave of disgust and contempt.

This is actually normal.

After all, Gu Ji's current identity is just a prosecutor, and saying this in front of professor-level doctors at South Korea's top Seoul Sansang Hospital does feel like an axe.

But he had to.

Because MERS, like SARS, lacks characteristic changes in the early imaging manifestations of the disease, and only has some limited ground-glass opacities, small patchy shadows or reticular shadows, which is difficult to make a clinical diagnosis, which is one of the reasons why the white-haired uncle did not detect MERS at Pyeongtaek Mary Hospital before.

It's Saturday in South Korea.

The hospital is only open to the emergency room, so the flow of people in the building is very dense, and Han Jae-won now asks the nurse to take the white-haired uncle to do a CT, which is useless and will increase the risk of the virus spreading outward.

"Medical diagnosis is not based on empirical speculation alone, it needs to be corroborated by imaging manifestations and laboratory examinations before it can be scientifically analyzed, Mr. Prosecutor."

Although Han Jae-won did not show anything on his face, the tone of the last few words was obviously aggravated.

It seems to be a deliberate reminder not to forget his own identity.

The prosecutor is not a doctor.

But Gu Ji didn't pay attention to what he said at all, but continued to analyze: "Professor Han, according to what you said, in addition to these factors you said, why don't you ask about his epidemiological history?" ”

"Didn't I ask him about his previous heart disease history......"

"Ahem, ahem!"

Just as Han Jaeyuan continued to refute Gu Ji, suddenly, the wife of the white-haired uncle standing beside him also covered her mouth and coughed.

"Auntie, are you not feeling well?"

Han Jaeyuan's pupils dilated slightly, and he moved his gaze from Gu Ji's face to the aunt with a white flower hat and a pink vest beside him.

"I don't know, I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable, cough cough cough ......"

The more she talked, the worse the pink vest aunt coughed.

"Hee-jeong, take your aunt's temperature immediately!"

"Yes, Professor."

Only then did Han Jaewon react to the key word that Gu Ji just said: epidemiological history, so he hurriedly asked Uncle Xiang, "Where have you been in the 14 days before the onset of the disease, or have you been in close contact with patients with similar symptoms?" ”

"I haven't been in contact with anyone, so I've been staying at home......"

Surprisingly, the white-haired uncle did not answer the answer that Gu Ji wanted, such as going on a business trip to the Middle East.

Isn't he the first host of the MERS virus?

But when Gu Ji swept his gaze over the white-haired uncle's eyes, the other party's pupils obviously flickered and avoided physiological changes, and subconsciously reached out and grabbed his neck.

You must know that Gu Ji's current identity is a prosecutor, and as a special police officer, he has been performing high-risk tasks for a long time, whether it is observation or the ferocity of his eyes, not to mention that he is as sharp as an eagle falcon.

And the white-haired uncle's action characteristics are manifested in the interrogation micro-expression.

Represents lying and concealment!!

Why did he hide the epidemiological history, could there be another reason behind it?

"Assiba! It's you again, get out of here right now! ”

Just as Gu Ji was thinking about why the white-haired uncle wanted to hide his itinerary, suddenly, there was a bang behind him, and then he heard the sound of his arm moving.

"Changchan! No! cough cough cough ......"

Aunt Pink Vest wanted to open her mouth to remind her son that Gu Ji was a prosecutor.

But when the words came to his mouth, there was a violent coughing sound.

Gu Ji's ears moved, and he instantly slid and flashed sideways, and at the same time twisted his waist and turned his body, his left hand was checked, and he grabbed Chang Can's arm and smashed his right foot.

"Poof!"

The kid tripped and knelt on the ground, and at the same time, his wrist was locked on his back by Gu Ji's anti-joint.

"Shhh Ah Yigu, let go, it hurts, it hurts! Chang Chan grinned at the sharp pain from the backlock of his arm.

Han Jaewon was shocked again when he saw this scene, he didn't expect this prosecutor to be so skilled.

Although the female nurse Hee-jeong was also frightened, her eyes became a little misty, as if she was immersed in some beautiful fantasy.

"Mr. Prosecutor, please raise your noble hand, my son has gone to register, he doesn't know your identity!"

"Prosecutor?"

Chang Can turned his head in shock, looked at Gu Ji's rough and heroic facial lines, and suddenly became extremely flustered, "I, I really didn't mean to!" ”

"I'll just ask you one question, where has your whole family been going in the past half a month!"

"I've been staying at home with my mom, my dad went to ...... a week ago"

"Ahem, ahem!"

Just as Changchan was about to tell the truth, the white-haired uncle suddenly deliberately amplified the sound of coughing and interrupted him.

Before he could give his son a look.

Gu Ji increased the torsion force.

"Go on, if you dare to hide something, you know the consequences!"

"Shhh Hurt! I know, Mr. Prosecutor, I must tell you the truth, my dad went on a business trip to the Middle East last week, including the Kingdom of Bahrain, Qatar and so on. ”

"Middle East?!"

Han Jaewon's pupils dilated instantly, and he turned his head to glare at the white-haired uncle, "Why didn't you say it just now!" How long have you been there! Is there anyone around you who has a fever or cough? ”

"I, ahem...... I heard that he was a prosecutor and thought he was involved in some case, so, so ......"

The white-haired uncle has been tortured by the illness to the point of some confusion, and even the basic answer is intermittent, "I'm not impressed." ”

"Buzz!"

At this time, the phone in Gu Ji's pocket rang and vibrate.

He let go of Changcan's hand and opened it to see that it was a private number.

"Hello, we are the Seoul Central CDC CDC, are you Mr. Kim Ji-gyu?"

"I am, you're in the emergency room?"

"Yes, we're at the emergency room gate right now."

Gu Ji hung up the phone and pointed to the white-haired uncle's family on the bed: "Professor Han, take care of them, you must not let outsiders get close to the respiratory clinic, I have called the CDC to come over, and they will be responsible for handling this incident!" ”

With that, he left without looking back.

Looking at the patients and crowds coming and going in the corridor, Gu Ji thought about it, covered his mouth and nose with his hands, took the initiative to avoid the crowd, and ran to the lobby of the consultation room.

I saw that all the eyes of the crowd were looking at the gate.

Three disease control personnel wearing white protective clothing and N95 protective masks stood in the center of the lobby!

It doesn't seem to be as uncomfortable as a sheep, it should just be a common cold, I feel a lot better today after taking the medicine last night, and I will recover full of vitality tomorrow, rush!!
