Zou Jinxing sat on the ground, holding his youngest son in his arms and leaning on his eldest daughter, looking anxious.
His wife Jin Xiaoting was sitting against the wall, holding her second daughter in her arms. The family of five looked like beggars, with no image at all.
A gust of wind blew by, blowing up countless fallen leaves and dust. If coupled with the background music of "Er Fountain Mirrors the Moon" by Blind Man, it would look like the whole family was fleeing.
But Zou Jinxing was a local commune cadre in Changping, and he was considered a respectable person.
It's a pity that the epidemic is taking hold at this time, and it's hard for any cadres to use it. No one has any privileges anyway, so they all line up obediently.
Jin Xiaoting stood up with difficulty, looking at the endless line of medical treatment, her heart filled with despair.
"Old Zou, why don't you ask someone to think of a way to see if we can join the queue? Xiaoyan, Xiaoyan's body feels so hot."
Zou Jinxing touched his eldest daughter's forehead and sighed heavily:
"People are queuing up, and everyone has a fever, but our family is special? Besides, who can I ask to go? They are Capital Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and next to it is Union Hospital. Which of these two hospitals is lower than us? Who knows them? Am I a grassroots cadre?”
Jin Xiaoting wiped her tears: "But, what about our sons and daughters?"
Zou Jinxing touched his pocket and found 100 yuan hidden in it, which was all his family’s savings:
"Don't worry, I brought the money. It will be our turn later and let the doctor give the child the best medicine. Just be content. There are many peasant brothers who have no money and can only wait to die at home when they get sick. We are relying on the new society. What a blessing.”
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded next to him:
"Hello, comrade, I am a doctor from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. Now I want to do a preliminary examination on your family. Please cooperate with me."
Zou Jinxing looked back and saw a young doctor in a white coat. He felt a little strange, but on the surface he still smiled weakly:
"Hello, hello, why did you suddenly jump in line for our family? There are so many people waiting here, why don't we let those in need come first."
Jin Xiaoting suddenly kicked her husband, hating him for being so stupid.
Lin Sanqi laughed and comforted:
"It's okay, everyone gets a turn. I'll start checking from your house. Only if we know what disease everyone has, can we treat it better, right?"
When Zou Jinxing heard this, he suddenly felt that he was so lucky. The Chinese Medicine Hospital's first investigation found their family, so would they ignore him later?
"Okay, comrade, you can test however you want, and we will definitely cooperate."
Lin Sanqi asked: "Do your whole family have the same symptoms now? Are there any obvious coughs and runny noses?"
Zou Jinxing shook his head:
"It's just a fever. There are no other cold symptoms. There is still pain. All the limbs hurt, as if someone had been beaten. We adults are fine, but the children are shaking with fever. As parents, we are afraid. What should we do if we are afraid that our children will have cramps? .”
There was only fever, muscle aches all over the body, and no catarrhal symptoms. Lin Sanqi sighed inwardly after hearing this. The symptoms were still like mask disease.
Lin Sanqi took out a few test tubes at this time and said:
"Okay, please cooperate with me. I want to take a sample. Specifically, I need to poke it into my nose and my throat, twice for each person."
Generally, when you go to the hospital for testing, you often only need to choose between a nasal swab or a throat swab.
But at that time, when the mask epidemic occurred, in order to avoid errors in the specimens, nasopharyngeal swabs were required to be taken at the same time, in duplicate, and sent to two testing institutions, which was very rigorous.
Lin Sanqi was also afraid of errors, and the patients were not allowed to spend money anyway, so they simply tested both.
The people of this period were really good and easy to fool. They would cooperate with whatever Lin Sanqi said.
As a medical student, Lin Sanqi happened to come across masks during school, so her level of nucleic acid collection was quite high. In a short time, 10 specimens from 5 people were obtained.
Lin Sanqi wrote her name on the test tube and sealed it in a plastic bag. The collection work for a family was completed and she quickly sterilized it.
With a start, Lin Sanqi was not afraid of rejection, so she went to pick up specimens one by one for the adults and children lining up behind her.
During this period, other employees of the traditional Chinese medicine hospital also saw Lin Sanqi stabbing people's throats and noses with objects in strange ways, but as the godson of the dean, no one came forward to ask.
After collecting specimens from five groups of families, Lin Sanqi found an office door as quickly as possible, pushed it open, and hid in the "passage space."
Within an hour, all specimen results came out.
Lin Sanqi looked at the two bars above and breathed a sigh of relief:
Fortunately, it's not mask disease, but influenza A.
This result is the best result.
But the flu will be much better. Although the flu is fierce, the harm to society and the body will be much less. The key is that there are specific drugs to treat it.
In fact, this is a misunderstanding of Lin Sanqi, an intern doctor, who thinks that influenza is lighter than a mask.
But according to an authoritative statistical data from Japan.
Elderly people over 60 years old: the seriousness rate of influenza is 0.79% and the fatality rate is 0.55%; the seriousness rate of masks is 0.14% and the fatality rate is 0.475% to 0.64%.
This shows that the seriousness rate of masks is 20% of that of influenza, and the fatality rate is equivalent to that of influenza, or slightly higher. Under 60 years old: the seriousness rate of influenza is 0.03% and the fatality rate is 0.01%; the seriousness rate of masks is 0.01% and the mortality rate is 0.004% to 0.01%.
The seriousness rate of masks is only 33% of that of influenza, and the fatality rate is also lower than that of influenza.
Therefore, influenza is by no means as harmless to humans and animals as it appears on the surface. Several influenza outbreaks in Europe that year were still a hell on earth.
It’s just that with the development of medicine in later generations, influenza is an infectious disease that is prevalent every year. Countries have developed specific drugs, such as mabaloxavir and oseltamivir, so it seems to be less harmful.
After Lin Sanqi knew that the epidemic in Changping was influenza, he immediately traveled back to 2023.
Knowing what the disease is, he now needs a lot of medicine to treat it, otherwise it will be difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without straw.
Although Lin Sanqi will no longer be able to become a doctor in 2023, he has studied at a medical university for five years, and his basic connections and circle of friends are always there.
Through his senior brother Xu Kaicheng in the Eighth Hospital of Huadu, Lin Sanqi contacted a medical representative who made influenza drugs.
In a private room of a high-end hotel.
Xu Kaicheng looked at Lin Sanqi who was still wearing ordinary clothes and exclaimed:
"Qizai, you really can't tell what you look like. When we first found out that you were being dealt with by the school, we all thought that your life was over and that you had been cheated. Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, it turns out that you are the real invisible capital boss among our classmates. ”
Lin Sanqi is now the legal representative of three companies. In a few months, the company's turnover is close to 1 billion. This matter has spread among the students of Huadu Medical University.
Going from rags to billionaire is an absolute miracle.
Although there are still constant doubts among classmates, Lingnan Hall’s famous name cannot be faked, especially since Lingnan Hall only sells precious Chinese medicinal materials, which is not something ordinary companies can do.
Just one hundred-year-old wild ginseng has defeated all its peers in the country. People in the industry know better how heavy this weight is.
Lin Sanqi laughed at himself:
"Brother Xu, please stop making fun of me. I also want to be a doctor, but my strength doesn't allow it, so I can only be a drug dealer and earn some hard money by serving you doctors."
"Bah, are there any drug dealers as rich as you? Making money is like picking up money. If it were me, I wouldn't be such a bad doctor. How many dollars a month does it cost?"
People in society have misunderstandings about the income of doctors. They think that the per capita income of doctors must start at one million, and those unscrupulous doctors who make tens of millions a year are nothing.
There are pros and cons to this misunderstanding.
Advantages: This is a plus point in the marriage and love market. It can help single young doctors better solve their personal problems, and the mother-in-law likes it.
But the disadvantage is that after getting married, it is discovered that doctors are not that rich, and they are often prone to family disputes, and many people end up getting divorced.
Therefore, in order to save worry, most medical staff still prefer to find a spouse in their own hospital or in the same system.
In this way, both parties have the same views, have similar diplomas and academic qualifications, and have similar incomes, and even work the night shift. No one should dislike the other, and they can support each other throughout their lives.
As the saying goes, doctors are a profession that becomes more popular as they get older, but the premise is that they are “old”.
For example, a medical student who has graduated in 5 years as an undergraduate and 3 years as a postgraduate (doctorate is not counted) needs to undergo regular training after entering the hospital and cannot practice medicine independently.
After graduation, the undergraduate training is 3 years, and the master's training is 2 years.
In the past few years, the income of regular training doctors has been very small, which is just some basic living expenses. The monthly income will not exceed 5,000 yuan. Remember, this is not US dollars, but RMB.
If you are in a worse situation and are assigned to some county or city-level local hospitals, your monthly income may only be about 3,000 yuan, which can only ensure that you do not starve to death.
After the regular training is over and you officially start working, as a general resident physician or a junior attending physician, your annual income will not exceed 200,000.
This 200,000 yuan is already the standard in a tertiary hospital.
If you are in a local hospital at the county or city level, it would be considered good if a junior doctor can earn over 100,000 yuan a year.
Then compare the current housing prices, and you will know how hard the life of the young doctor is. It is estimated that you can only find an express hotel to book a room with your girlfriend. It is impossible to be romantic in a five-star hotel.
The income is so low, but the working hours are beyond everyone’s imagination.
Resident doctors have to be present in the ward almost 30 days a month, especially those in charge of beds, who must be there for daily ward rounds.
So everyone can pay attention and observe that among the traveling people, there are very few doctors. The doctors are either at work or taking exams, or they may not have money to play.
When the doctor's income increases, he will be promoted to deputy senior doctor, which is the deputy chief physician level. (End of chapter)
