Chapter 247: Contagion
On March 10, Gao Di went home and felt fever, pan-strength, and dry cough, thinking it was a cold.
Gao said: "I may have a cold, go out and buy some cold medicine." ”
Lei Xinghua said: "Is the cold serious, is it serious? What did you do to catch a cold? If it is serious, go to the hospital." ”
Gao Zhan had a ghost in his heart, and he didn't dare to tell the truth, so he lied: "It's not serious." Maybe during the party, I drank numb, took a nap, and caught a cold. ”
Lei Xinghua said: "Oh! Don't be reluctant to spend money!"
Gao dug and said: "I'll go to the pharmacy to dispense a pair of medicines first, and then go to the hospital if it doesn't work." If the hospital has a cold, it will cost hundreds, what a robbery!"
Lei Xinghua said: "You play mahjong, and it costs hundreds of you to order a cannon, and I haven't seen your heartache." I don't want to spend money to see a doctor, you are really scathing about yourself!"
Gao dug and said, "I've never slammed the door of you two girls. I am not slamming the door, but saving, and my money is not washed by floods, and if I can solve my illness at the lowest cost, there is no need to go to the hospital to spend money in vain! My illness was cured by the doctor of the pharmacy for twenty or thirty yuan. Going to the hospital and spending three or four hundred is the same effect. ”
Lei Xinghua said: "You are reasonable! Hurry up and buy medicine, don't be bothered." Eat early and have a good morning!"
Gao went to a nearby pharmacy and bought a pair of cold medicine and a large packet of cold powder. I ate one immediately when I got home, and another one at noon.
Gao Di, who was watching TV at home, did not improve in the afternoon, but had slight difficulty breathing.
At this time, Lei Xinghua and Gao Tao were panicked. Gao Tao used his mobile phone to search for the symptoms and found that it was highly consistent with the new coronavirus pneumonia. Gao Tao told Lei Xinghua in a panic.
Lei Xinghua originally wanted to send Gao Di to the hospital, but after hearing the unfortunate news. Immediately called the hospital ambulance and explained the symptoms of Gao excavation.
The doctor told them not to panic, and the ambulance would be coming soon. Let them immediately take self-isolation measures, wear disposable medical masks or N95 masks, prevent droplet infection and contact infection, and do not go out to avoid infecting others.
Lei Xinghua, only then did she find out a few boxes of disposable masks that she bought when the epidemic broke out, and put them on herself and her son. It is difficult to breathe when digging high, and of course you can't wear a mask anymore, which makes it more difficult to breathe.
Half an hour later, the ambulance came downstairs. Doctors and nurses in protective suits, goggles and masks open the back door of the carriage, lower the mobile cart and lay out the stretcher.
The doctor on the bus asked the driver to call the patient's family because it was inconvenient to speak.
"Hey, Gao Di family, we've gone downstairs to your accommodation. Hurry down. You and your son go to the hospital for a check-up. It is best if there is no infection, and if you are infected, treat it early. Young people can generally be cured, don't have a psychological burden, the more relaxed you are and actively cooperate with the treatment, the easier it will be cured!"
Lei Xinghua said: "Okay, you wait, we'll come down immediately." Then he took the key to his wallet, looked at the eight or nine thousand yuan and a few bank cards in the wallet, and stuffed a dozen disposable masks into his purse.
Lei Xinghua and Gao Tao helped Gao Di and walked down from the third floor.
The doctor in the car saw that only Lei Xinghua and Gao Tao were wearing disposable masks, but Gao Di did not bring them, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, and said, "Gao Di, you are lying in the car." ”
The high digger laboriously moved to the stretcher, which had been lowered.
The doctor on the car used an infrared thermometer to measure the temperature of Gao Dug's forehead, 38.3 °C, which is a high temperature. More than 1 degree above the upper limit of the normal temperature of the human body (36-37 °C). Coupled with the symptoms of pan-force and dry cough, it can probably be confirmed that it is infected, but the final confirmation will have to wait for the real-time fluorescence RT-PCR test results or virus gene sequencing detection to confirm.
The doctors and nurses on board lifted the cart, pushed it into the rear compartment, and sat on a stool next to it.
Lei Xinghua and Gao Tao also climbed into the carriage and sat on the stool on the other side.
The doctor on the bus said: "Immediately notify the community neighborhood committee of the situation here, and ask them to strengthen access management and temporarily prohibit outsiders from entering or leaving." Know when the test results are out. ”
The ambulance drove to the residents' association in the community, stopped the car, walked out, and told the director of the neighborhood committee, "Your community has found a person infected with the new coronavirus, and judging by the symptoms, there is an eighty or ninety percent chance." Please do a good job of managing the entry and exit of residents, and temporarily prohibit outsiders from entering or leaving. At the same time, do a good job of home isolation and report suspected cases. If the confirmed results come out, the government will send people to carry out disinfection and anti-virus work, please cooperate. Please leave your phone number and our hospital will notify you as soon as the test result is available. ”
The director of the neighborhood committee of the community changed his face and said, "Thank you doctor for reminding us to immediately strengthen access management." I write you the phone number, you call it, I don't connect. ”
The director of the neighborhood committee wrote down his name and phone number on a slip of paper and handed it to the ambulance driver. But I thought to myself: It's miserable! This year's reward has been ruined again! There is no hope for promotion! If you don't do it well, you will be punished! Damn the coronavirus! Why can't you get along with us! Didn't you say some time ago that we don't have any infected people here? As soon as we let down our vigilance, something went wrong. Did the person who killed a thousand knives hide the history of contact with people in the epidemic area?
The driver tried dialing it, and the mobile phone of the director of the neighborhood committee rang with a music ringtone, then turned around and walked into the car and drove away.
The members of the neighborhood committee put on masks and immediately re-erected the barricades, leaving only one entrance and exit for the community. And once again, it is strictly enforced, and only one person per household can enter and exit once a day to buy daily necessities or other needs.
In the ambulance, Lei Xinghua asked, "Doctor, is my husband okay?"
The doctor said, "It's okay. Don't scare yourself, you can be scared into a serious illness if you don't get sick. Be relaxed, you are only in your forties, not very old. The body's immune system, unlike the elderly, which begins to deteriorate, can generally be cured. ”
Gao said weakly: "But when we check the news, there is a fatality rate of about 2%. ”
The doctor said, "You have to think so." With only a 2% lethality rate, there's a 98% chance that it can be cured! So I'm going to be fine, I'm going to be cured. Then you cooperate with the attending doctor for treatment, respect the doctor's instructions and strictly implement various requirements, take the medicine on time, and you will be cured soon. ”
Soon the ambulance drove to the Third People's Hospital of Hongju County. Immediately, the attending doctor drew blood from the three people who were digged high, and then (hou) performed real-time fluorescence RT-PCR detection.
Symptoms are evident due to high digging fever, pan-force, dry cough, and mild dyspnea. The attending doctor provided him with a hospital bed and inserted an oxygen hose into his nose to increase the amount of oxygen to help him breathe. And put an ECG sensor on his hand and turn on the ECG recorder.
The attending doctor asked Gao in detail about his symptoms, feelings, what drugs he was taking, whether he was allergic to certain drugs, etc., and then did various CT, MRI, blood, urine and other tests. Then he prescribed a pair of medicines to Gao and told him to take one time immediately, and the others to take on time and in the same amount.
Lei Xinghua ran up and down, hung up the fee, paid the fee, took the number, waited for the inspection, accompanied the doctor,
Paying fees, taking medicines, etc., I was busy all afternoon, and I didn't have time until it was dark.
A trace of guilt rose in Gao Di's heart, feeling that he was sorry for his wife, and he couldn't spend any more time drinking outside in the future, so he had to be kind to his wife. What he didn't know was that he had decided to change too late, and that his wife had already given him a green hat. I guess if I knew, I might be.
Lei Xinghua had long been aware that Gao Di was fooling around outside. Since she has no job at home, she mainly helps Gao Di to take care of the children's life at home; Gao Di also handed over part of the funds to let her control, and she pretended not to know for the sake of the children and the fact that she can continue to collect money. Lonely and unbearable, she finally came out of the wall.
Lei Xinghua ran so hard, maybe she felt a little guilty in her heart, maybe it was a cover-up, or both. She found a paper cup, poured some warm water, and served Gao Di to eat medicine.
The attending doctor said to Lei Xinghua: "You two have no obvious symptoms for the time being, you may or may not be infected. You have to take precautions and wear a mask when you go in and out of the hospital and your home. You can leave one person here to take care of the sick. You can also go back and let the nurses in the hospital take care of it, and you can negotiate the price yourself. When you go back, disinfect everything in your home with chlorine or 75% alcohol, and take care to disinfect the toilets. Avoid secondary infections. ”
Lei Xinghua said, "Okay! Thank you, doctor!" Then she turned to Gao Di and said, "Husband, we are here, and we can't help you." You relax and be optimistic, and it will be fine soon. Let's go back first, and I'll bring you food in the evening. ”
Gao dug and said, "Okay, you guys go back! I took a medicine, and I'm much better now." I was able to move on my own, and I didn't need to be taken care of at night. ”
In the evening, Lei Xinghua brought pork ribs stewed with winter melon and kelp soup, stir-fried pork slices with lettuce, and rice. Gao Di had a good appetite and ate all the food, leaving only a little broth.
Lei Xinghua poured the leftovers, bones, and leftover soup into the trash. And then I went back.
Early the next morning, Lei Xinghua took Gao Tao to see Gao excavation.
The attending doctor also came very early and began to make rounds and inquire about the patient's condition to see if there was any aggravation of the condition and emergencies, so as to rescue in time.
The attending physician briefly asked the patient how he was feeling, whether he had improved after taking the medication, and so on.
Lei Xinghua asked, "Doctor Tao, are our test results out?"
Tao Min, the attending doctor, said: "Not yet, wait for people from other departments to come, and there will be results." You can wait here for a while, get the results, and I'll let you know!"
Lei Xinghua said: "Okay! Thank you!"
After Tao Min finished asking, he turned around and walked into other wards to continue his rounds.
Half an hour later, Tao Min found Lei Xinghua seriously and said, "I'm sorry, I want to tell you bad news." All three of you have a positive real-time fluorescence RT-PCR test result, which means that you are all infected. Please stay in the hospital for isolation and treatment, and do not go out, so as not to infect more innocent people.
Later, government personnel will come to the hospital to investigate, and I ask you to cooperate! Please explain in detail what places you have been to in the past 24 days and have come into contact with those people. If they conceal or make false statements, the government will pursue criminal liability.
The two of you should also tell us what your symptoms are, and then do a few more detailed examinations, and I will prescribe some medicine for you! Remember that the medicine of the three of you cannot be confused, because the severity of the illness is different, and the dosage and type of medicine are also different. Taking medicine indiscriminately will not only affect the medical effect, but also cause medical accidents in serious cases. ”
This news stunned the three of them, although they knew it in their hearts, but everyone still had a glimmer of hope. When the bad news came, the last hope was shattered, and they regretted it to the extreme! Now the whole family is isolated in the hospital, what should they do to change their clothes? What should they do when they eat?
Under the questioning of the attending doctor Tao Min, Lei Xinghua and Gao Tao honestly explained their symptoms and physical feelings. Then Tao Min helped them prescribe two pairs of medicines, and specially instructed them to pick up the medicines one by one, not to get confused.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, the government's epidemic prevention personnel found Gao and the three people and asked them to report their recent whereabouts and contacts in turn. Then I found a well-ventilated, unoccupied office, found a desk, took out a pen and paper and began to ask.
The person in charge of epidemic prevention said: "After the three of you were confirmed to be infected with the new coronavirus, we immediately closed and quarantined your community and sent people to sterilize and sterilize, where there are now police officers to help manage access." You must know that if one person slips through the net, 100 or even more people may be infected, and all the efforts we have made in the past will come to naught! Therefore, comrade, please cooperate and do not conceal it! If you maliciously conceal it and cause many people to be infected, you will be held criminally responsible. The maximum penalty is death!"
