maternity hospital

It is a challenge for any hospital to catch up with the leader's inspection and treat infectious diseases.Fortunately, Taisho's emergency measures were carefully arranged. In less than an hour, the emergency patients were settled, and they assisted the disease control to establish a quarantine area.Those who have been in contact with the patient need to undergo a three-day quarantine and observation. Zheng Zhiqing arranged to temporarily plan the accommodation and work area on the second floor of the emergency department.

Since meningitis can be transmitted by droplets, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention requested to clarify Tong Yan's whereabouts, where he has been, and who he has been in contact with in the past seven days, so as to prevent a large-scale outbreak of infectious diseases.The manager who sent Tong Yan to the hospital was so nervous that he went to Zhao Yue to take his temperature after a while.He Quan asked him to talk, and he sat there writhing like nails growing on his buttocks.

"Where did Tong Yan go for the Spring Festival?" He Quan asked.He just remembered that Tong Yan was supposed to come for the birth checkup before the Spring Festival, but he didn't show up.

The manager's eyes wandered around, and his hands were held between his knees and kept shaking.

"Went to... South Africa."

"Why are you going to South Africa?"

"travel……"

He Quan slapped the pen onto the paper with a snap, which startled the agent.

"Do you want to save him? Do you know how high the mortality rate of meningitis is!? Now the medicine has no effect at all!"

The manager put on a bitter face, swallowed dryly and said, "There are still three days before the Spring Festival, Lao Guo... Lao Guo suddenly died..."

"Who?" He Quan frowned.

"Guo Fenghui, the child's father, the one with leukemia." The manager leaned forward and lowered his voice, "Doctor, you won't be held accountable for the operation performed overseas, right?"

"What surgery?"

"Draw... umbilical cord blood."

"You are crazy!"

He Quan threw down his pen angrily and got up to find Zheng Zhiqing.

After hearing He Quan's narration, Zheng Zhiqing also had an expression she had never heard before.According to WHO statistics, Africa is an area with a high incidence of meningitis, which has a lot to do with the lack of popularization of vaccines.According to the blood test report, Tong Yan has meningitis antibodies in his body, which means that he has been vaccinated.But the spinal fluid test showed that he had been infected, and the injection of the medicine was useless. The only explanation was that the bacteria that infected him had mutated in the body.

"If this continues, he will be hopeless." He Quan folded his arms and circled around the room, "It's thanks to them for thinking of drawing the umbilical cord blood of the fetus!"

Zheng Zhiqing sighed helplessly: "You can't imagine what some rich people can do to survive. Many doctors make such money in black clinics in Africa. The laws there are not perfect, so don't worry about being held accountable. responsibility."

"I don't care what the law says now, my patient is going to die now, but I can't do anything about it." He Quan flipped through the medical records irritably.The vital signs are recorded every 10 minutes. It has been nearly [-] hours since Tong Yan was admitted to the hospital, and the temperature curve still does not fluctuate significantly.

"Hey, Zheng Dabai, look at this—" He Quan pointed to the body temperature data that fell on several statistical curves, "After four or ten minutes of administration, the body temperature will always drop by one degree or two degrees, but it will drop again in two or ten minutes. Bounce back."

"This shows that the drug is effective, but it doesn't reach the lesion directly."

Zheng Zhiqing thought for a while, then went to the window to make a phone call.He Quan heard him speak English and speculated that he was probably calling the United States. Ten minutes later, Zheng Zhiqing hung up the phone, turned around and said to He Quan: "My teacher has a hypothesis that the fetus has not been vaccinated, and it may be infected when the umbilical cord blood was drawn, and the bacteria mutated in the fetus. The bacteria then cross the placenta and infect the father."

He Quan digested this assumption for a while, and spread his hands helplessly: "But I can't do a lumbar puncture for the fetus."

"My suggestion is that it is best to terminate the pregnancy." Zheng Zhiqing shook his head, "Even if the primary infection is not on the fetus, according to the current situation, Tong Yan can't survive 72 hours. Terminating the pregnancy can reduce the burden on his body."

He Quan closed his eyes, finally sighed and said, "I'll contact the family members, you can arrange someone to prepare for the operation."

Zheng Zhiqing did not ask He Quan to have the surgery, but performed the surgery himself.The risk of infection is already negligible, and the protective measures are very strict. He didn't want He Quan to face the pressure.Immediately after the operation, tests confirmed the previous hypothesis.After another two hours, the medicine also took effect, and Tong Yan's body temperature began to drop gradually.

Eating the uniformly delivered box lunch, He Quan obviously had no appetite.Zheng Zhiqing raised her hand to test his forehead, confirmed that he didn't have a fever, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't think about it, eat quickly, you haven't eaten all day." Zheng Zhiqing pushed the soup in front of him.

After taking two mouthfuls of soup, He Quan suddenly raised his head: "The tube of umbilical cord blood can't be used, right?"

"Not necessarily. If stored at low temperature, it will inhibit the growth of bacteria." Zheng Zhiqing put down the spoon and frowned a little embarrassedly, "According to the agent, Guo Fenghui's physical condition is impossible to go abroad to receive stem cell transplantation. I told The disease control personnel confirmed that Tong Yan entered the country normally, and he could not carry the blood products through the customs. So someone must have brought the cord blood back, and this is illegal, do you want to report it?"

"Fortunately, I'm not a doctor who strictly abides by industry regulations." He Quan sighed and shook his head, "Take it as ignorance, I don't want that child to die in vain."

Zheng Zhiqing patted his hand: "How is Xiaobai, is he good today?"

"It's not time to be mischievous." He Quan rubbed his belly, "It's pretty good. I went home and looked through it these two days. As long as it's a pair of pants with zippers and buttons, I can't fit them."

"After the observation period, I'll accompany you to buy pants."

"Don't worry, at least there are sports pants to wear."

"Twelve weeks?"

"almost."

Zheng Zhiqing picked up a boiled egg, held it up to He Quan, and smiled at him.

"What's silly?" He Quan raised his eyebrows.

"Xiaobai is about this age. I will go to the first floor to take a B-ultrasound later. I want to take a photo."

"They haven't grown yet. What's there to take a picture of?" He Quan's ears turned red suddenly, and he raised his hand to push away the egg in front of him.

"I asked Sister Qiaoqiao for Xiaobai's first photo, the one taken at eight weeks." Zheng Zhiqing smiled triumphantly, "I plan to make a photo album, starting from this week, I will take one picture every week, and I can give Xiaobai a picture in the future. For nothing."

"Who would want to see pictures of themselves when they were not human?"

He Quan was dumbfounded.

After the three-day observation period expired, no one had fever symptoms, and the emergency department resumed normal operations.Due to the proper handling of this emergency, the Provincial Department of Health raised the rating of Dazheng by one level. Originally, the specialized hospital could only be rated as a second-class hospital, but now it is directly rated as a third-class hospital.Coupled with the "vigorous publicity" by the paparazzi, Taisho's reputation has spread far and wide, and the number of doctor visits has skyrocketed, crowded by patients like a public hospital.

Double room to triple room, single room to double room.The family room is reserved, and the price has been raised by 50.00%, but the supply is still in short supply.He Quan has a headache every day when he enters the ward, and his family members pester him to change wards. They all want to live in a family room to take care of his lover, but there are only five wards in total.

"Zheng Dabai, I'm applying to add five more family rooms to the third party." He Quan called Zheng Zhiqing, "Four thousand and five a day, think about how much more you earn in a month?"

"The first district and the second district also applied for additional wards. There is really no room. In addition, it is now an advertising effect. After this period, the number of medical visits will drop, and vacant wards will cause additional expenses."

"Oh, if you want it in the first district and the second district, you can give it to me, but I won't give it to you if you want it. Divorce, I can't live through this day!"

Zheng Zhiqing rubbed her eyebrows helplessly, and begged, "Ah Quan, you have to support my work."

"Why don't you support my work?" He Quan looked up, and there was another figure shaking outside the frosted glass door. He must have come to ask the director to change rooms. "Zheng Dabai, you can spare me two wards before you get off work today, otherwise I will sleep on the sofa at night!"

Zheng Zhiqing flipped through the floor plan and said with a frown, "There are still a few vacant rooms on the eighteenth floor, but they were originally planned for office use. There is no oxygen supply system installed, and it is far away from the third floor, which is inconvenient."

"That's all. I'll ask someone to drag a few oxygen cylinders up and prepare them. Pack them up before I get off work."

After He Quan finished speaking, he hung up the phone, leaving no room for Zheng Zhiqing to refute.To say that the hospital should be expanded, the first district and the second district are all three-story wards, and the third floor is the first floor.There are eight children in the nursery, and sixteen for the third child. Even if the proportion of the population with the hidden X gene is small, it can be calculated as a population of hundreds of millions.With a radius of hundreds of kilometers, Dazheng is the only specialized hospital with a male obstetrics department, and it is time to give him an extra floor.

When I went out, I promised my family that there must be a ward to change before I got off work. He Quan called an intern to patrol the ward.Duanmu and Pang Hai followed the director tremblingly, ready to hit the medical record board at any time.He Quan's violent temper used to have a pattern to follow, but since he became pregnant, it has been cloudy and uncertain. He was smiling one second, and scolded them bloody the next second.

Specialist Zheng talked to them once before, and he understood them with reason and moved them with emotion. After all, it was to let them calm down.How can you not be scolded as an intern?If you don't get scolded and don't have a long memory, what will you do if you put people to death in the future?

Later, Duanmu and Pang Hai witnessed He Quan arguing with Zheng Zhiqing in the corridor, and suddenly felt psychologically balanced.

Before leaving get off work, He Quan went to the inspection ward on the 2th floor. When he got out of the elevator, he saw Zheng Zhiqing answering the phone in the corridor, so he didn't bother him.The ward was clean and tidy, with good layout and lighting. He Quan nestled on the sofa to relax, but fell asleep within [-] minutes.

After answering the phone, Zheng Zhiqing went into the room to look for He Quan, saw him dozing off on the arm of the sofa, and was reluctant to call out, so she pulled out a quilt and covered him.Moving a chair to sit next to the sofa, Zheng Zhiqing followed He Quan's sleeping face all the way down, saw the slightly undulating arc under the quilt as he breathed, and felt warm in his heart.

In the past, he could only understand those couples who would rather go bankrupt or risk their lives to keep their children from the perspective of human nature.But when he is about to become a father, he can completely empathize with it.Don't talk about He Quan's cranky thinking about doing this every day, he is the same, always worried about the child's problems of one kind or another.But whenever he sees the little guy on the B-ultrasound, he firmly tells himself that even if Xiaobai has one or another problem after birth, he will love him wholeheartedly.

"Xiaobai, my name is Zheng Zhiqing, and I'm your father."

Zheng Zhiqing raised her hand, gently covering the arc, and suddenly felt a slight tremor in her palm.He was not sure, exerted a little force, and felt the response from his own flesh and blood.

He Quan was woken up, opened his eyes in a daze, and woke up immediately after seeing Zheng Zhiqing's face.

"Zheng Dabai, why are you crying?"
