Chapter Ninety-Six: African Disease (June 21, 1/1 Update) Ask for subscription

In all fairness, Felipe didn't do anything wrong. He just mistakenly bought a batch of communication equipment that should have been obsolete a long time ago. Felipe's own motives may have been to make a greater profit, but objectively speaking, he did intend to seek some benefits for his compatriots.

Sun Lien felt that the Polythanvia in front of him, who loved to eat meat buns, was at least a respectable person.

"You put on your mask and goggles, and don't touch the patient directly without my permission – preferably not even the table. "Seeing that the first patients and their families have completed the security checks, they have started to queue up to enter the camp. Sun Lien hurriedly instructed, "You only need to translate, and remember to wear a mask." ”

In the World Health Organization's regular reporting on the outbreak in Africa, the Ebola outbreak and polio outbreak in several countries near Polythanvia are not over. At present, there are relatively large-scale epidemics of measles and other infectious diseases. All members of the medical team were given all the vaccines they could before leaving the country. They still need to be careful to protect themselves, not to mention Felipe, a local, who is likely to be barely vaccinated.

Many vaccines are not always lifelong. Because individuals have different physiques and different specific conditions, the validity period of most vaccines basically ranges from a few months to several years. Only some special vaccines can achieve the effect of lifelong immunity.

The members of the medical team who had been vaccinated before leaving the country are now relatively resistant, but it is difficult to say about the local workers. Therefore, the Seventh Bureau specially planned a reception and triage area for the medical team, and therefore specially warned the local workers not to go to the medical team if they are fine.

Felipe probably understood what Sun Lien meant, he glanced at Sun Lien with some gratitude, and then took the unopened N95 mask, goggles and rubber gloves from his hand. The temperature in Polytavia in December is not low, and the sun in the morning is no weaker than in the early summer in Ningyuan. Of course, it is uncomfortable to be fully armed, even if there is frozen ice cubes in the camp's cold storage on the side, an awning overhead, and a high-powered industrial fan blowing behind the ice.

But it's better than getting infected by a patient who comes to you for help. Felipe had seen Ebola, and when he vomited blood, he could even vomit out fragments of his own organs, and finally liquefied the muscles all over his body, and he was terrified of his compatriots who died in excruciating pain.

As long as you don't get infected, hot spots are hot spots.

Soon, the first batch of patients were guided to Sun Lien's table, and although they were lined up, the shape of the line was really a little crooked. Some of these people came to the patients themselves, while others went out with their families. This is not much different from the situation of the patients in the four hospitals.

"This patient ......," Felipe listened to his compatriot very dedicatedly, and translated to Sun Lien, "He said that his back hurt very badly at night......

"Stones, go to surgery. Sun Lien quickly made two notes on the paper, and he was not sure if the medical team had brought any extracorporeal lithotripsy equipment, but he guessed that it should not be - the size of the extracorporeal lithotripsy machine is about the same as the treatment bed of Haifudao, hundreds of kilograms or even more than a ton, and it is very difficult to send it here from China. The surgeon probably tried to listen to the urethroscopy to remove the stone for him?

"The second patient...... He was a farmer. He said he had a broken foot last month...... "Felipe continued to translate, but only halfway through his sentence, Sun Lien interrupted him." "Diabetic foot, go to surgery first to see if you can debride and suture, if not, you may have to amputate the limb - and then you have to cooperate with internal medicine. ”

Felipe's eyes widened, "Amputation?"

"It's been a month since it broke, and I'm afraid it's already gangrene. Sun Lien sighed, the diet of the African people is very unhealthy. In particular, these farmers, who grow their own fruits, lack their own access to starch and protein. Regularly consume large amounts of self-grown fruits. Due to the abundant sunshine in Africa, the sugar content of local melons and fruits is very high. Under this diet, it is indeed easy to develop type 2 diabetes.

And this disease occurs in the Polythanvians...... The consequences are much more serious than those at home. By limiting sugar intake, people may not be able to fill their stomachs at all. If sugar intake is not restricted, they will develop severe hyperglycemia and may even develop hyperketosis and diabetic foot – in short, diabetes is a real "incurable disease" in Polytavia.

The consequences of amputation were terrible for the farmer, but if he did not amputate his limb, gangrene could kill him.

Felipe finished translating for the bitter-looking peasant, and then looked at the back of the other man limping away, and sighed, but after sighing, he couldn't say a word.

"Next. Sun Lien shook his head and continued to record the situation of the patients in the back. He plans to do a statistical look at the fact that the epidemiological surveys of diseases in the African region are almost blank. Of course, the records he has are only a small sample, but at least they can be recorded to provide important data for future researchers.

These epidemiological survey data may make some contributions to the development of Polythanavian medicine in the future.

The next few patients are all considered to be common diseases in Africa, two highly suspected pneumoconiosis patients engaged in quarrying and sand dredging, one corneal detachment, seven sinusitis, and Sun Lien even found two skin fly patients.

The human skin fly is the name of both a disease and an insect. Human skin flies of the family Diptera lay eggs on human clothing or bedding. After one to three days, the eggs hatch into larvae. The larvae of human skin flies are highly sensitive to human body temperature, and they will do everything possible to burrow into human skin, then gently bite open a mouth with their mouthparts, and then burrow into it themselves.

The two patients Sun met were probably human skin flies rather than human tumor flies. They have a dot-like bump on their arm that slowly rises and falls. The black skin wasn't too easy to see the redness, but the status bar was still steady and functioning — it wrote the words "human skin fly infection" directly on the heads of the two patients.

After seeing the first batch of patients, Sun Lien leaned back a little tired, and for the first time he had the feeling that he was indeed in Africa. With the exception of stones, diabetic foot, and sinusitis, these were symptoms he hadn't seen much. Especially the human skin fly - although I have heard that there are occasional diseases in the pastoral areas of the country, and there are even dipteran insects parasitic in the digestive tract of patients, but after all, it is only heard, where can it be compared with what you see with your own eyes?

Sun Lien showed his power with the help of the status bar, while Felipe behind him looked a little confused and lost. Before the next wave of patients cleared the security check and entered the camp, he decided to start with a question, "The doctors in China are just like you...... So ......" he thought for a long time before he came up with a relatively appropriate word, "so powerful?"

"There are too many doctors who are better than me. Sun Lien was not polite at all, he said very seriously, "I am just a doctor who has just obtained a medical practitioner's qualification certificate, and I don't even have a junior title, so I can only be regarded as the lowest level in the doctor system." ”

Sun Lien is still only a standardized training resident, and only after he completes the three-year regular training and completes the final training examination can he be regarded as having the junior title of "resident doctor". As for the doctors who are "better than themselves", there are even more, and when it comes to intubation and cardiovascular accidents, Sun Lien believes that he is far inferior to Cao Yanhua. In terms of external intelligence, he and Xu Yourong are about a dozen streets apart, and the critical illness is not as good as Brunn, the immunology is not as good as Pascal, and the intrarenal urinary is not as good as Zhou Ce and Dr. Cao Xincao...... He was not polite at all, and Sun Lien really felt that he was not a particularly powerful doctor.

Anyway, a lot of people say the same thing - emergency medicine doctors who can't do surgery...... That's also a doctor?

Felipe sighed, a little wistful, "We'...... There are still a lot of lessons to be made up. ”
