From small clinic to medical empire

Chapter 81 A Strange Cough [Please recommend!Ask for collection! 】

When passing by the outpatient department, Zhang Zifan took out the outpatient box, put it on Li Chao's neck, and continued to rush to the new village of the fish market.

Fish Market New Village is the community where the nurse Sister Ma lives. It is very close to the outpatient department and is the largest shantytown in the surrounding area.

The roads in the shantytowns are naturally quite congested and messy.

At this time, Li Chao's permanent brand bicycle showed an unparalleled advantage and came to Uncle Chen's home easily.

Uncle Li's family is a five-guarantee household. The so-called five-guarantee households refer to those whose lives are particularly difficult. The government guarantees food, clothing, medical care, housing, and burial for them.

Uncle Chen is in his 60s this year, not too old. However, he lost his son in his early years and later suffered a work-related injury in a mine, leaving him paralyzed in bed.

He has only one grandson who is dependent on him for life. He is going to junior high school this year. It is said that he is very smart but very naughty.

"Uncle Chen, I am Xiao Li!"

Li Chao knocked on the door, and opened the door with a greeting.

Uncle Chen's family is so poor that they don't need to lock the door. Li Chao told him several times, but it didn't help, so he had to give up.

However, Uncle Chen had his reasons for not locking the door. After all, he himself had limited mobility and his only grandson had to go to school. If something happened, the neighbors would take care of him.

Before entering the door, Zhang Zifan heard the cough of a half-grown child, and his stubborn but powerless voice: "I just have a cold...ahem...it's okay!"

This cough is a bit fierce!
Zhang Zifan grabbed Li Chao and took out two medical masks from the outpatient box.

"Will this be a bit of a fuss?" Li Chao scratched his head and said, he has never worn such a thing in his life.

"How can you make a fuss about protecting yourself? Put it on. You have to listen to me on this matter." Zhang Zifan said.

……

The half-old child is named Chen Zexin, and he will be in the second year of junior high next semester, and he is in the rebellious period.

According to the relevant policies of Huayang District, Uncle Chen himself was fully reimbursed for medical treatment, while Chen Zexin was reimbursed 90% of outpatient medical expenses and full reimbursement of hospitalization medical expenses before entering university.

In other words, if you go to see a doctor with a "cold", you still have to spend 10% of the medical expenses. Therefore, Chen Zexin is very stubborn and is determined not to go to the hospital.

Uncle Chen was lying on the bed, persuading him earnestly, and when he saw Li Chao coming, he immediately asked him to help take the child to the hospital: "Officer Li, I'm really sorry for causing you trouble, but Zexin coughed so badly and had a fever. You can't take medicine and injections!"

Li Chao waved his hand and said: "It's okay, the organization asked us to pair up to help the poor, then I have to help you, not only I help you, no, Director Zhang from the outpatient department also came to help, let him show the child first! "

"You...can you...take the money..." Chen Zexin asked while breathing hard.

"Do not worry!"

Zhang Zifan shook his head. If he has this kung fu, he might as well extract oil from Guilao. How much money can he squeeze out from the five-guarantee old man and half-grown children?

Take out the ear thermometer and measure it for the child first. It is 38.2 degrees, which is a very high temperature.

Then, Zhang Zifan asked him to open his mouth so that he could observe the throat, and took out the stethoscope to start listening.

"Cough cough cough-"

At this time, Chen Zexin had another violent dry cough, as if his lungs were about to be coughed out.

"Has there been no phlegm?" Zhang Zifan asked.

"No, he was fine at first when he got home, and he made me braised fish."

The child coughed badly and couldn't answer. Uncle Chen quickly answered for him, "However, after dinner, he said he was a little tired, and then he had a sore throat and cough, and it got worse in less than half an hour!"

Zhang Zifan frowned and wiped the child's forehead with a cotton swab.

Very dry and didn't sweat much.

The child's cough is very strange. The main clinical symptoms are common common cold cough, coughing sound, or coughing up sputum.

But the child showed obvious symptoms of shortness of breath and difficulty, and the onset was quite rapid.

This is very much like asthma.

However, asthma generally does not have fever symptoms, and Zhang Zifan did not hear the characteristic wheezing sound of asthma.

In addition, although no X-rays have been taken to confirm the diagnosis, the probability of developing lung cancer is extremely low given the age of the child. As for tuberculosis, symptoms such as hemoptysis and hot flashes are usually present, which is completely unsuitable.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Zifan found that there were several common cough diseases, but none of them could be matched.

Zhang Zifan's internal technology skills are only E+, but the basic skills are still very solid, and he is also in confusion at this time.

"Doctor Zhang, please prescribe some medicine for the child. He often had colds and fevers when he was a child. Prescribe some antipyretics and anti-inflammatory drugs, and he will be fine soon."

Uncle Chen saw that his grandson was coughing more and more, but Dr. Zhang was still thinking, so he couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

He asked Li Chao to help send the child to the hospital before, but in fact, he planned to ask the hospital to prescribe some medicine.

After all, the child has a fever and a cough, so everyone thinks it is a cold and doesn't think too much about it.

Chen Zexin finally stopped coughing temporarily, and said with difficulty: "The doctor... gave me a cheaper medicine... I just went swimming in the afternoon... I caught a cold..."

"swim?"

A flash of inspiration flashed through Zhang Zifan's mind, and he asked quickly, "Have you swam this afternoon? Did you choke on water?"

Chen Zexin's face became paler and his breathing became more and more rapid.

He replied: "Yes...I choked...but I'm fine..."

Due to the college entrance examination, the junior high school where Chen Zexin attended was requisitioned as an examination room, and the whole school was closed for two days.

This afternoon, he asked his friends to swim in the water, but because of the undercurrent in the river, he accidentally choked on a big mouthful of water.

But fortunately, his swimming skills were good, so Chen Zexin escaped in the end and forgot about it.

"This is it!"

Zhang Zifan picked up the stethoscope to listen to lung sounds again, his expression changed.

"Officer Li, quickly send the child to the emergency department, no, let's take the child to the outpatient department first!"

With that said, Zhang Zifan carried the child on his back, and ran towards the outpatient department with his legs free. While running, he took out his mobile phone and called Yang Tingting.

Seeing Zhang Zifan's sudden action, Li Chao knew that something was wrong, so he quickly comforted Uncle Chen and ran out with Zhang Zifan.

"Director Zhang, what's going on? It's just a cold and a fever. It doesn't require first aid, right?" Li Chao caught up.

"Exaggeration? Look at the child!"

Hearing what Zhang Zifan said, Li Chao quickly looked at the child, only to see that the child who was able to speak just now seemed like a leaky bellows, coughing and wheezing, and seemed to be dying.

"What's going on?" Li Chao's eyes widened.

"Dry drowning!" Zhang Zifan replied.

"Dry drowning?" Li Chao was taken aback, as if he had heard of this.

Because he is a policeman, Li Chao has received relevant criminal investigation training before, including the content of dry drowning.

Li Chao could not remember the specific principle, but he remembered that dry drowning probably meant that the person who fell into the water died before drowning due to nervousness or other reasons.

As a result, there was no fluid accumulation in the lungs of the deceased, which looked a lot like a murder case.

But what does this have to do with children?
Due to the completion of the [Junior Security Room], Zhang Zifan's physical fitness has improved a lot, and Chen Zexin has lost weight due to malnutrition, weighing less than [-] kg. Zhang Zifan's running on his back is not too strenuous.

Therefore, Zhang Zifan still had enough energy to notice Li Chao's confusion, and explained: "He is an even rarer type of dry drowning, and he drowned after getting out of the water!"
