Surgeons dressed as poor people in the Republic of China

While Ye Yibai and the others were rushing back, the renovation of Zhonghua Village was also in full swing.

"Be careful with the equipment, it's all borrowed, and you have to pay it back in the future. We can't afford to pay for any bumps."

"Don't talk about privacy at this time. There is no room to install curtains. Where to put the curtains, the middle is blocked, one side is male and the other is female, and the rest will be used when it is needed."

Xu Yuanhe looked at the progress, and then looked at the watch in his hand. His brows became more and more wrinkled. It was past nine o'clock, and the 80-odd beds were not all arranged. How could the patient be transferred here.

Standing by the bed, Xu Yuanhe could already hear the "huhu" of the north wind. It only takes a wind and a rain to cool down in the winter in the south, and the temperature can change from above zero to below zero. Even wearing a big cotton jacket, the auditorium With the little sun turned on, Xu Yuanhe still felt that the air-conditioning was continuously sucking into his neck.

"Doctor Xu, Doctor Ye is back." Nurse Xiao Zhang's voice came from the door.

Xu Yuanhe hurried to the door when he heard the words. When he reached the door, he happened to meet Ye Yibai, Pei Zebi, Fang He and others walking in quickly from the door.

"Doctor Ye, Pei Chu, Fang Chu." Xu Yuanhe walked up quickly.

The conditions in Zhonghua Village are better than those in Peng Village. At least there is a street lamp on the village road. Don’t underestimate this street lamp. Electricity is 1933 silver dollars, converted into RMB after 0.3 years, which is equivalent to nearly 90 yuan per kilowatt-hour of electricity. Therefore, even though electricity was supplied early in the Republic of China, electrical appliances are still a luxury that can only be used by very few people.

While walking, Ye Yibai was talking to Fang He about the ancestral hall in Pengcun. The pathogen of the plague is Yersinia pestis. For months, the Republic of China still had the habit of burying corpses in Yizhuang at this time. If a plague patient died in Yizhuang for a long time, it would be a shining super source of infection.

"Cremation? It's impossible for Dr. Ye, not to mention the common people, I can't even accept it. This is a setback for us Chinese people." Fang He's expression was very serious, "If we force this, we must There will be conflict."

Ye Yibai frowned into a word of Chuan, yes, he forgot, cremation is still an almost unacceptable thing for people of this era, "How many corpses are there in the ancestral hall now?"

"I haven't counted them, but when I was isolated a while ago, there were corpses on the roadsides of the two villages, and then they were put in the village ancestral hall. There was no room for the coffin, only straw mats and thin quilts." Fang He said here , and also a little sad.

"Strictly order the villagers not to approach the ancestral hall at will, and if they cannot be cremated, they will be buried deep, and they cannot just be placed like this." Ye Yibai said.

Fang He subconsciously glanced at Pei Zebi, and met Pei Zebi's gaze. Fang He's expression froze, and he immediately said, "Doctor Ye, I'll figure out a solution for this matter, and I will deal with it as soon as possible."

Ye Yibai nodded, "Whether it is investigation or isolation, what we are doing now is to eliminate the source of infection among the people, and the accumulation of a large number of corpses that died of the plague is a large source of infection in the open air. If it is not contained, all our work will be in vain, so this is the most urgent thing at the moment, please do it as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, I understand." Fang He said solemnly.

At this time, Xu Yuanhe also walked up to the three of them. His eyes fell on the suspected plague patient who was getting off the truck behind the three of them, and he smiled wryly, "Doctor Ye, these..."

"Among the 29 suspected cases identified, we tied green, yellow, and red ropes on the hands of the patients. Except for two elderly people, most of the others were mild cases. How many cases have been sorted out in the auditorium today? Can the transfer be completed?" Ye Yibai asked?

Xu Yuanhe showed a bitter expression on his face, "We have almost used all the wooden boards in the village to make beds, but it is still not enough. The first round of disinfection work has been completed, and several isolation rooms for unconfirmed cases have also been prepared. , but I’m afraid it’s impossible to get everything ready tonight.”

The auditorium of Zhonghua Village is brightly lit. This is the only building in Zhonghua Village where every room can be powered. People in heavy padded jackets and masks and gloves come and go.

"Isolate these suspected mild cases first, and test them tomorrow."

These patients were all required to wear masks and keep a distance of more than one meter between them. They walked into the auditorium under renovation under the leadership of Ye Yibai and Xu Yuanhe. Warm, even the cold on the body is a little less.

"Ah, Dr. Ye, Dr. Xu, the patients have already arrived. Our side is not ready yet. There are a few people in total. I'll go get the quilts first!" Nurse Xiao Zhang quickly put down her hands when she saw a large group of people walking in. work, call colleagues to move the quilt together.

The bright lights, the neatly arranged wooden beds although not uniform, and the unique smell of disinfectant in large hospitals, the uneasy villagers along the way saw the scene in front of them, and finally felt relieved. The doctors did not Lie to them, these people are really trying to save their lives.

"Doctor, this is already very good. It's warmer here than our home, and we can sleep with a quilt." Some villagers couldn't help but said.

Ye Yibai pursed his lips, the sky outside was already pitch black, and the drop in temperature was even more obvious. Now that he stays outside for a while, his bones will tremble unconsciously. Although the auditorium has not been completely tidied up, it has already The temporary isolation point without running water or gas is much better.

Ye Yibai pondered for a moment, "We can't wait any longer. Let's transfer the patients from the temporary isolation point first. If there are not enough places in the auditorium, we will occupy private houses. We don't care about so many in special occasions. Dr. Xu, Dr. Zhang, Dr. Zhao, Come with me, Xiao Yang, is there any more rope? We have to identify the patients on the spot."

The nurse named Xiao Yang had just finished making a bed, and hurriedly said: "There are some, there are a lot of ropes, I'll get them!"

At ten o'clock in the evening, a truck drove out of Zhonghua Village to the temporary isolation point five kilometers away.

In the temporary isolation point, the atmosphere was terribly oppressive. In the dim space, there were only one or two candles flickering in the darkness. The sound of coughing seemed to be coughing out the lungs. There was an indescribably weird smell.

"Is there... anyone? I... can't breathe, I can't breathe." The hoarse voice was full of despair, and he repeated it over and over again. Although there were people around him, no one responded. There was a tree not far from him. The candle that was about to burn out gave off a faint light. He looked at the light and thought to himself, probably when the candle burned out, he would say goodbye to this world.

There are doctors in the temporary isolation point. When the epidemic broke out in Dongxian County, although it was covered, but how could it be hidden from the local medical community? The doctors naturally knew that the plague was terrible, and they wanted to find a way to control it immediately. Doctors headed by Tang Chuanfang and others quickly organized a medical team and persuaded the above to forcibly isolate the patients suffering from plague.

The doctors have good intentions, regardless of their safety and remuneration, they came to Dong County with a sense of responsibility, but the lack of logistical supplies made the isolation a nightmare for both patients and doctors.

This temporary isolation point was temporarily rebuilt from a warehouse. There was no running water, no gas, and even only a few small windows. When patients entered here, they had almost nothing but food supplies and poor medical treatment. support.

A clever woman can’t live without rice, and the doctors can only watch the patients go from mild to severe and then to death. In less than half a month, there are already many people on the hillside not far from the warehouse. Many tombstones.

There are even many doctors who start to get scared, start to avoid, and start to doubt whether they were right in persuading the higher authorities to ask for mandatory isolation.

The coughing in the warehouse became louder and louder. The man who started to have difficulty breathing opened his mouth and tried to breathe in the stale air through his mouth. He wanted to open the window, but it was too cold, and each of them only had a thin quilt. The candlelight was getting dimmer, just like the fire of his life, he seemed to see the light in a vague way, it was so bright, it was so bright that it was a bit dazzling.

"Let me emphasize again that we are going to enter the heavily infected area next, wear two masks, tie the sleeves tightly at the glove opening, and tie the collar and the hat tightly with the body. Before going back to do the disinfection work, no matter how much the eyes are You can't rub it with your hands, do you hear me clearly?" Ye Yibai reminded again, especially the soldiers and police officers who came to help, they lack hygiene knowledge, and they tend to ignore small details.

Fortunately, they obeyed the order extremely. The police officers and soldiers straightened their backs and replied loudly, "Listen clearly."

The glare of the headlights of the truck woke up the doctors who were resting in the room. The doctors at the isolation point were resting in the dormitory of the former warehouse manager. After a busy day, they just fell asleep and found that there was a glare light outside the window. The doctors were terrified. They had been in Dongxian County for a week. There was no telephone or telegram here. The only source of information was the guards who blocked the line every few days when they were on duty. Therefore, they didn’t know this A few days of outside news.

"It seems to be a truck. Those police officers actually let the car in. It's not about supplementary supplies at night. Lao Zhou, I'll go out and have a look." A middle-aged doctor in his forties said he got up from the bed and began to change. clothing.

"Doctor Ye, this is a temporary isolation point. There is no electricity here, only candles for lighting. Let me go and say hello to the doctor here first." The police officer on duty at the isolation point said to Ye Yibai.
