Surgeons dressed as poor people in the Republic of China

"How long have you been coughing?"

"Cough? It's been two days. It's probably because of the season change. I've been sneezing a lot these past two days, but I don't have a fever or any other discomfort." Dr. Ma laughed.

Ye Yibai nodded without thinking too much, everyone is a doctor and knows the basic medical knowledge, and because there are no antibiotics, colds are not considered a minor illness in this era, and no doctor will take it lightly.

"Just pay attention to yourself. I just went to see Feng Ran's situation, and I need to ask you for some things." Ye Yibai said, and handed the handwritten rehabilitation instructions to Dr. Ma from his pocket.

"Brain tissue has a very strong remodeling and compensatory function. Damaged language and limb functions can be recovered slowly through rehabilitation. Feng Ran is still in the hospital for a while. I think his rehabilitation work during this period I have to trouble you to pay more attention."

Dr. Ma's eyes lit up when he heard the words, he took Ye Yibai's copy of the rehabilitation plan and read it carefully, then he raised his head and said with a smile: "You are too polite, Dr. Ye, for those of us in white coats, look at it. It is a very happy thing for a hopeless patient to get better day by day, not to mention Feng Ran's attending doctor is me, so you don't need to say please."

Ye Yibai also smiled and said, "It's not surprising that there are so many people."

The two smiled at each other.

It's just that Dr. Ma laughed halfway, and coughed violently again, and there was rust-colored sputum again. Ye Yibai had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Doctor Ma, the patient in bed 14 has vomiting, shortness of breath, and blood pressure drop, and the temperature in bed 15 has risen to 39.5°C!" Head nurse Zhou appeared outside the office door with a serious expression.

Dr. Ma immediately stood up from his seat and took the stethoscope from the table at the same time, "Dr. Ye, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Ye Yibai waved his hand, "You are busy, leave me alone."

Ye Yibai looked at the watch on his wrist. Dr. Ye did not have the habit of wearing a watch before, because he was often in the operating room, and it was troublesome to take it off and on. In the era without mobile phones, it was still very inconvenient to not have a watch, so he gradually got used to wearing a light watch on his hand.

At [-]:[-], he should go back. There will be two surgeries tomorrow morning. Thinking of this, Ye Yibai followed Dr. Ma and head nurse Zhou and left the duty office.

He was walking from the duty office to Feng Ran's ward, and happened to be walking with Dr. Ma.

"Isn't the situation okay in the afternoon, why is it suddenly so bad? What medicine did you use in the afternoon?"

"The medicine list is here."

"There is no problem with the medication. Why did it suddenly become serious? Even if it is pneumonia, it develops too fast."

"I also feel that something is wrong. How can it be useless after so many medicines?"

Dr. Ma and Head Nurse Zhou turned into a ward in front. The door of the ward was open, and Ye Yibai could vaguely hear the conversation between Dr. Ma and the patient.

"Pain? Where does it hurt? Why is there such a big lump on the chin? Did you have it yesterday? Do you feel that you can't breathe? Strange, the lung signs don't look serious, why is it difficult to breathe. Head nurse, arrange to take pictures again An X-ray."

"Okay, the equipment room is closed now, Xiaolin, you guys push the patient over, and I'll get the key."

There was the sound of a rolling bed in the room. When Ye Yibai walked to the door of Feng Ran's ward, two nurses passed behind him pushing a rolling bed. He looked back unconsciously. The patient's face was in pain. The face was flushed, and the lymph nodes in the neck were obviously swollen, and there seemed to be signs of congestion.

pneumonia?

Ye Yibai frowned slightly, his hand was already on the doorknob, and he could push the door in with just a slight turn. He even heard the conversation between Pei Zebi and Aunt Gui, and then he stopped action.

Dr. Ye finally realized what was wrong, the neck lymph node congestion, high fever, pneumonia, too few lung signs and disproportionately severe systemic symptoms.

plague……

When these two words appeared in Ye Yibai's mind, Ye Yibai was a little dazed at first, and then goosebumps all over his body stood up, and it was as if something exploded in his mind, buzzing continuously.

He turned around and walked quickly to the nurse's desk.

"Doctor Ye." Most of the doctors in the nurse's desk followed head nurse Zhou to the ward, and only Xiao Yang was left sitting in the nurse's desk with some sleepiness. Seeing Ye Yibai approaching, there was a hint of surprise on his face Looking at her expression, she said in authentic Shanghai dialect: "Just now I heard Xiaolin say that she seems to have seen you. I still don't believe it. I didn't expect it was really you."

Getting along for a week was enough for Ye Yibai to gain enough contacts in the Red Cross Hospital, especially those young nurses. Facing a young, good-looking doctor with high professional level, how could he not give birth to a doctor? According to Dr. Ma, in front of these young nurses, the words of Ye Yibai, a foreign monk, are much better than those of these old fellows.

"Nurse Yang, please give me six pairs of masks and gloves." Ye Yibai's emotions were still surging in his heart, but his face was extremely calm. He knew very well that he must be calm now and not be confused.

Nurse Yang nodded, took out the mask and gloves from the drawer and handed them to Ye Yibai without thinking. , There are many cold patients in the hospital, you should wear masks and gloves when you work, if you are infected, it will be troublesome."

Nurse Yang was obviously stunned for a moment, then she immediately reacted and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll put it on right now." Then, she put on the mask and gloves as she said.

Dr. Ye nodded to her and walked towards the equipment room while putting on the mask and gloves.

In the equipment room, Dr. Ma had already adjusted the machine, "The body position is adjusted, you go out." He raised his head and said to head nurse Zhou and the two nurses.

Head nurse Zhou nodded and was about to go out with the two nurses when she saw Ye Yibai walking quickly.

"Doctor Ye?"

Ye Yibai nodded to them, and handed three of the masks and gloves to Head Nurse Zhou, "Put them on." Without saying anything else, he went straight into the equipment room.

Dr. Ma had already pressed the button of the X-ray machine, and was startled when Ye Yibai walked in without a lead suit.

"Doctor Ye? Why are you here?" Although Ye Yibai has a good relationship with the Red Cross Hospital, he is not a doctor at the Red Cross Hospital after all. It’s okay to say that the doctors in the hospital extended a helping hand for humanitarian reasons, but if the patient is not in a critical situation, and the doctor in the hospital is very conscientious and properly treating the patient without asking for help, then it is not very good for the doctor in the other hospital to directly take part in the treatment. Be polite.

Ye Yibai naturally knew that his current behavior was not so appropriate, so he didn't hide it. He picked up the lead jacket on the side and put it on himself, and at the same time handed the remaining pair of gloves and mask to Dr. Ma.

"Cervical lymph node congestion, high fever, difficulty in breathing, and rapid development of pneumonia may be my unfounded worries, but Dr. Ma, have you heard of the plague?"

The sound of heavy objects falling to the ground sounded in the equipment room, and the expression on Dr. Ma's face changed from a slight stupefaction to astonishment and then a trace of panic.

Plague, one of the pandemics that caused the highest death toll in the history of infectious diseases, caused nearly 5000 million deaths in Europe in the [-]th century, and was called the "Black Death".

Not only in Europe, the plague also appeared frequently in the history of China. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the plague, "Nine of the ten families of the common people were all infected with the plague. If one person was infected, the whole family would not be spared." At the time when the city was under the torment of the epidemic, Beijing was almost an undefended dead city.

Near the end of the Qing Dynasty, the plague also caused nearly 6 deaths. Although communication was still poor at that time, with the development of newspapers and telegraphs, news from the north would still spread to the south. At that time, black and white newspapers almost It was full of obituaries. Dr. Ma was still in school at that time, but seeing the news from the north, the enthusiastic young people wished to go north to fight the epidemic and help their compatriots overcome the disease.

But after graduating, entering the hospital, and facing so many life and death, the passionate young people knew how terrible infectious diseases are. If one person is infected, the whole family will not be spared, and almost no one will die.

Thinking of his symptoms in the past few days, his complexion changed, and he immediately put on the mask and gloves. He calmly said, "Doctor Ye, stay away from me. If it is really the plague, I'm afraid I've already caught it."

Ye Yibai stood not far from Dr. Ma, and said in a deep voice, "You take the X-ray first, and you can judge after seeing the results."

Dr. Ma nodded, the expression on his face seemed to be very calm, but his hands and teeth trembled slightly, revealing that the owner was not at peace. The equipment room was very quiet, only the occasional coughing of the patient on the bed could be heard , Dr. Ma slowly pressed the button, and the machine started to operate with a "hum".

Without taking a film, the two can already see the condition of the patient's lungs through the machine, lobar pneumonia, and signs of lung consolidation in the lungs.

Dr. Ma felt a chill rushing from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. A bitter smile appeared on his face. He still remembered the enthusiasm back then, but where is it now?

"It's just the symptoms of the lungs, and it's still uncertain, and if the plague 20 years ago could be controlled, it must be possible now." Ye Yibai did not know when he appeared behind Dr. Ma, with his hand on Dr. Ma's shoulder On, said softly but firmly.

Dr. Ma took two steps to the side, keeping a distance from Ye Yibai, he smiled wryly and said, "I understand, but doctors are human too, so there is no one who is not afraid of death."

"Doctor Ma, Doctor Ye, is the patient well?" Head nurse Zhou asked from the door.

"Okay, come in." Ye Yibai answered the question from head nurse Zhou on behalf of Dr. Ma who was a little out of sorts.

Head nurse Zhou came in with two nurses and was about to go out pushing the patient.

"and many more."

Ye Yibai stepped forward and put the mask on the patient's mouth and nose under the surprised gaze of head nurse Zhou.

"Doctor Ye, the patient already has difficulty breathing, and it's even more difficult to breathe with a mask on." Head nurse Zhou asked with a frown.

While helping the patient put on the mask, Ye Yibai carefully observed the lymph nodes in the patient's neck. He gently pressed down with his gloved hand, and the patient let out a cry of pain.

"How many patients are there in a similar situation to this patient?"

Head nurse Zhou originally wanted to ask Ye Yibai about wearing masks for patients, but under his serious eyes, head nurse Zhou's vigilance as a medical staff immediately rose.

"Two of them were admitted to the hospital together with him. Their symptoms were not serious at first, but they all became more serious yesterday."

"What about other people, did the medical staff who came into contact with them in the hospital, or other patients, have similar symptoms?"

Head nurse Zhou's complexion changed. In terms of qualifications and age alone, even Dr. Ma couldn't compare to this head nurse. She had really experienced the plague 20 years ago.

"Doctor Ye... I don't understand what you mean?" She asked hoarsely.

"Let's check again. Dr. Ma and I will call Dean Shen later, and all the medical staff who have been in contact with these patients will be called back, as well as the patients and their family members, and they will be gathered into a list. Among the medical staff, there are no accommodations, and they need to be changed. Clothes, you probably need your family to go, just put them at the hospital gate, don’t come in, here... probably the hospital will be closed. "

The author has something to say: "Nine of the ten families of the common people are infected with this plague. If one person is infected, the whole family will not be spared." This sentence comes from "Shanxi Tongzhi"
