In the master bedroom on the second floor of the Nordic Snow Country Embassy, there were violent coughing sounds, which attracted the side glances of the staff passing by.
Ambassador Ramiz Aliyah woke up and sat on the edge of his bed, covering his mouth with a handkerchief and supporting his body with his other hand.
In the room, Mrs. Alia quickly took out the pills from the bedside table and said anxiously:
"Come on, dear, take some medicine first."
Ramiz looked at the sulfonamide tablets in his wife’s hand and shook his head:
"This medicine doesn't work. I have tuberculosis, so I still have to find a way to return to China for treatment. I heard that a new tuberculosis drug, streptomycin, has been launched, and it may be able to save my life."
Mrs. Alia smiled bitterly:
"It's a pity that you are not the ambassador to countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States, and such a good place is not your turn. Besides, the country will not allow you to return to Europe for medical treatment, because you have a good relationship with the leaders of China, and they think that only you can Maintain close relations between the two countries.”
“The problem is that I feel like I can’t hold on anymore, cough cough cough~~~~”
Ramiz took the water glass and pills from his wife, raised his head and ate them in one gulp.
Then suddenly there was another violent cough, and a mouthful of blood spurted out as he coughed.
Mrs. Alia jumped up in fright: "Oh no, blood, you vomited blood, what should I do? Honey, you, what's wrong with you?"
Ramiz leaned against his wife, feeling his consciousness getting darker and darker, and his eyes began to darken:
"Honey, it's terrible, I feel like God is already calling me..."
"No, no, no, dear, you have to hold on, I'll take you to the hospital right away!!!"
The boss fell, and the Nordic Snow Country Embassy fell into chaos instantly. It was not clear what the staff were doing in a panic as they ran in and out.
Wow wow wow~~~
The ambulance sent the foreign ambassador to the best hospital in China, Union Medical College Hospital, as quickly as possible.
Ramiz Aliyah's status is special because in 1960, few countries established diplomatic relations with us. Instead of establishing diplomatic relations, most countries even imposed sanctions and embargoes on us.
Therefore, those who can establish diplomatic relations with us are all our close friends and brothers.
The Nordic Snow Country is the first country in Europe to recognize us, and its symbolic significance is very important. The country attaches great importance to its diplomatic relations with them.
Especially Ambassador Ramiz, his attitude is very pro-China and very friendly to our country. He often visits various departments and has made many friends...
Therefore, upon hearing the news that Ambassador Ramiz fell ill, his superiors immediately instructed that all efforts should be made to rescue him, and if necessary, the national reserve of medicines could be used.
Union Medical College Hospital has also organized the strongest medical team.
The ward was full of people, and Union Hospital also set up a rescue team for this purpose. Dean Tu listened to the report from Guo Jianqiao, the attending physician and leader of the rescue team:
If Lin Sanqi knew this Guo Jianqiao at the scene, it was during the influenza period that Lin Sanqi first went to Union Hospital to gather information and met the irresponsible outpatient doctor.
"The patient has been coughing repeatedly for 10 years. He was diagnosed with tuberculosis 4 years ago. Antibacterial treatment was taken abroad at that time. The specific medication was unknown. This time, the cough suddenly worsened 2 days ago, accompanied by symptoms of hemoptysis. This morning, he started to have difficulty breathing and became conscious. Not clear..."
Dean Tu looked at the medical records and asked:
"Dr. Guo, what is your initial assessment of the patient's condition?"
Guo Jianqiao scratched his head. He was just a three-legged cat. He relied on his family connections to get into Union Medical College. He graduated from a domestic medical college during the Republic of China, and his level was just like that.
But after the top 10 overseas doctors in the Department of Respiratory Medicine at Union Medical College were transferred away, monkeys like Guo Jianqiao began to become kings.
"This, this, Dean Tu, I have already taken an X-ray for the patient. It's best to wait until the results of the X-ray come out."
Dean Tu glanced at Guo Jianqiao and asked displeasedly:
"The film will take more than an hour to come out. Now the patient has difficulty breathing and is going into shock. Why don't you take the initiative to rescue him?"
When Dr. Guo Jianqiao heard this, he broke into a cold sweat and said quickly:
"Well, the patient has no fever. I don't think it is caused by inflammation. Considering that the patient has a history of long-term cough and hemoptysis. So I, I suspect that he has lung cancer."
Dean Tu is a surgeon and is not that proficient in medical diseases, but judging from Ambassador Ramiz’s current symptoms, it does look like lung cancer.
If it's lung cancer, there doesn't seem to be a particularly good treatment option.
So in addition to breathing oxygen and hanging up empty saline, everyone is waiting for X-rays and blood results.
An hour later, a staff member hurried in and said, "The X-rays have been developed."
Dean Tu took it and took a look and saw a few white spots on the right lung. He immediately thought of the three uniform shadows of size, density and distribution that Lin Sanqi had taught in Changping's teaching class.
"This seems to be a manifestation of miliary tuberculosis, and the volume of the middle and upper lobes of the right lung has increased. The lung texture in the lower lung field is dense and curved downward. Is there any external pressure?"
Vice President Ye took the film and observed it carefully:
"Consolidation in the upper lobe of the right lung. Considering this dense miliary density increase, I thought of alveolar microlithiasis..."
The X-ray was handed over to Dr. Guo Jianqiao. He first glanced at the two deans who were meditating from the corner of his eyes, and his mind began to shift rapidly.
I thought that although it looked like tuberculosis on the film, the clinical symptoms were very aggressive and not like mild tuberculosis.
So Guo Jianqiao decided to put forward his different opinions in front of the two deans, so that everyone could see that he, Guo Jianqiao, could support the Peking Union Medical College Respiratory Department after the more than 10 foreign doctors left.
"President Tu, Vice President Ye, think about it, the patient had an acute cough for 2 days, hemoptysis with dyspnea and pale face for 1 day and was admitted to the emergency room. If it is lobar pneumonia, it may have entered the consolidation stage and show a patchy density. Increased shadow, generally uniform density.
However, this film shows dense nodules and is not distributed according to normal lung lobe segments. The medical history showed no obvious symptoms of fever and cold sensitivity. Therefore, I think it is unlikely to be lobar pneumonia and rule out the possibility of infection. Then there is only one truth. ”
Sure enough, the attention of everyone in the ward was attracted:
"What is it?"
Guo Jianqiao held up the chest X-ray and said confidently to everyone:
"Dense granular manifestations in the lungs, especially the high-density shadow in the right lung. Under the premise of excluding tuberculosis and lobar pneumonia, I think it is lung cancer. This is also consistent with my previous judgment."
As soon as Guo Jianqiao finished speaking, everyone's eyes focused on the patient's X-ray.
The clarity of the 400 mA X-ray film is actually not that ideal. It is just like the 720P video. It can be seen clearly, but the details are not so clear.
In addition, Dean Tu and Vice-President Ye both had surgical backgrounds, so their level of internal medicine was only average.
Although there are some doctors in the ward who have doubts about Guo Jianqiao's words, because Guo Jianqiao is the current director of the respiratory department and the big boss who controls the fate of ordinary doctors in the department, naturally no one dares to raise objections.
Then the ward fell into silence.
Dean Tu still felt that the impact was like the shadow of blood perfusion pulmonary edema, but he was not sure, so he looked at the patient who had fallen into a coma and asked helplessly:
"Dr. Guo, what do you think should be done now?"
Guo Jianqiao shook his head helplessly:
"There is no way. It is already in the advanced stage of lung cancer. It is difficult for patients to recover after going into shock. There are not many treatment methods we can take. At most, we can use some antibacterial drugs and some energy fluid.
I am afraid that if the treatment takes a long time, the patient will not get better, but will cause dissatisfaction among foreign guests. Therefore, instead of over-treating the patient and causing pain to the patient, it is better to discuss with the family and let the patient go in his sleep, so that we can reduce the trouble. ”
Many people think that doctors like to serve the upper class, thinking that being close to the upper class can help them hold their thighs.
In fact, it's just the opposite. What doctors don't like the most is serving special patients or "noble patients."
If you are cured, people will think that you have done a good job as a slave, and they may reward you with some benefits.
But if you can't cure them, then you may offend the families of these noble patients. To use the plot in movies and TV dramas, drag these quack doctors out and kill them with a cane.
Therefore, imperial doctors from ancient times to the present always use the mildest treatment plan when treating noble patients. Anyway, just don’t die at their own hands. They don’t seek merit, but seek no fault. Guo Jianqiao was thinking like this now, and he quickly drove the foreigner away from his ward. Anyway, one ambassador died and a new one would come tomorrow. What does it have to do with his personal interests?
The translator simultaneously conveyed the results of the doctor in the ward to Mrs. Alia and other embassy staff outside the door, and then there were cries.
Mrs. Alia cried while pleading:
"No, no, no, we should be able to save him. My husband was still talking to me this morning. How could he die like this?"
At this time, the leaders of the relevant departments also conveyed the highest level intentions to Dean Tu and Vice-President Ye:
"Ambassador Ramiz is our old friend. He is ill in our country. We have the responsibility and obligation to cure him. We hope that the comrades of the Union Medical College will do everything possible to cure him."
After Cheng Sui'an, the leader of the foreign affairs department, finished conveying the message, he asked in a low voice:
"Dr. Guo, is it really lung cancer? Is there really no way to treat it?"
Guo Jianqiao shook his head regretfully:
"The best way to deal with it now is to bring the patient back to the embassy. Maybe he can still survive and send the ambassador back to his country. It is better than dying in a foreign country, right?"
Leader Cheng agreed when he heard that if he had to die, it would be better to die in his hometown, and he sighed heavily.
He knew that he was a layman and must listen to the doctor. If the doctor said he could go home without treatment, it would be a direct death sentence.
After the interpreter explained it, Mrs. Aliyah suddenly burst into tears:
"A piece of white paper cut diagonally~~Old King of Hell came with a letter~~I didn't eat food from the human world for three days~~I walked to the underworld platform for four days~~The little ghost came to urge my husband~~I can't neglect for a while~~Three Souls Miaomiao left the world of the sun~~The seven souls went to Quantai in confusion~~~"
The staff at the Nordic Snow Country Embassy were immediately confused and began to discuss preparations for calling Taoist priests, buying shrouds, filial sticks, etc.
Suddenly, a young secretary expressed a different opinion:
"No, why are the two doctors Bi Xinglong and Ma Zhongli who often treated Mr. Ramiz in the past not here? They have always been Mr. Ramiz's attending doctors and know Mr. Ramiz's condition best.
The key is that these two doctors never reminded Mr. Ramiz that he had lung cancer, so was there any misunderstanding? Mr. Dean, can you ask two doctors, Bi Xinglong and Ma Zhongli, to come over? ”
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Aliyah also stopped crying:
"Yes, we need these two attending doctors to explain to us why such an obvious lung cancer has not been diagnosed. Otherwise, we can return to China for surgery as soon as possible. Wouldn't this delay our condition?"
The staff of the Nordic Snow Country also expressed strong dissatisfaction after hearing this.
Seeing the commotion at the scene, Leader Cheng also had a headache. At the same time, he also felt that what the family said was reasonable, so he looked at the director of the slaughterhouse:
"Director Tu, since Mr. Ramiz has a treatment team, Dr. Bi and Dr. Ma, right? Let these two come over quickly."
Dean Tu was a little embarrassed and whispered:
"Bi Xinglong and Ma Zhongli are not in the hospital. They were on the expulsion list and left Xiehe."
Leader Cheng became anxious when he heard this:
"Where did you go? Send people to recover quickly. If they really misdiagnosed, then we will be severely punished. Is this a joke on the lives of foreign friends? If it is a misunderstanding, it should be solved in time, otherwise it will affect both parties. relations between the two countries.”
There is no small matter in diplomacy. This is a mantra hung by the foreign affairs department, which shows that this job is difficult to do.
Vice President Ye knew the seriousness of the matter, so he quickly remedied it:
"Leader Cheng, the problem is not big. After Comrades Bi Xinglong and Ma Zhongli were dismissed by our Union Medical College, they joined the Changping Branch of the Capital Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine and are now working in the tuberculosis department. It only takes a few hours to go back and forth."
Leader Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and asked curiously:
"Changping Branch of the Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine? Is it the same hospital that successfully eliminated the influenza epidemic last time and now proposes to eliminate tuberculosis? I remember that the person in charge is called Comrade Lin Sanqi?"
Dean Tu thought, is Lin Sanqi already so famous? Have all the leaders of the foreign affairs department heard of it?
"Yes, this is the branch. Doctors Bi Xinglong and Ma Zhongli now work in Lin Sanqi's department."
Leader Cheng nodded: "Okay, then send someone out immediately to call Bi Xinglong and Ma Zhongli, hurry up!"
A few minutes later, a small jeep drove out of the Union Hospital and sped northward. It appeared at Changping Farm 2 hours later.
In the tuberculosis department, Lin Sanqi was discussing a case of tuberculosis with Bi Xinglong, Ma Zhongli, Yang Guang and others.
After a month of clinical work and witnessing the rapid recovery of tuberculosis patients, these overseas doctors now began to admire Lin Sanqi more and more.
So now Lin Sanqi is also starting to prepare for these foreign doctors to design topics and prepare papers.
Doctors studying abroad are willing to sit with Lin Sanqi and ask for advice on some principles of tuberculosis treatment when they have time, and they get along more and more harmoniously with each other.
At this moment, several staff members with livid faces and Chinese tunic suits suddenly came in from the tuberculosis department. They came in and asked sternly:
"Who among you is Bi Xinglong or Ma Zhongli from Union Hospital?"
These days, the staff of the special department have all come from the battlefield. The murderous aura on their bodies is very obvious, and with the majestic expressions on their bodies, you can tell at a glance that something big has happened, and it is definitely not a good thing.
Bi Xinglong and Ma Zhongli suddenly began to feel their hearts beat faster and their legs began to tremble, thinking that they were about to be interrogated.
Although the two of them couldn't think of anything they had committed, they knew that as long as they left with these people, they would probably never come back. This kind of thing is very common these days.
Everyone could see that the person was evil, and of course Lin Sanqi could see it too.
Anyone else would have been trembling at this moment, fearing that Chi Yu would be in trouble and would have avoided it early. He didn't see Vice President Ji standing outside the door and would never dare to come in to intervene.
But Lin Sanqi was different. He was a time traveler and lacked awe for this era, so he frowned and stood up resolutely:
"Which department are you from? What business do you have with Bi Xinglong and Ma Zhongli?"
One of the staff members looked at Lin Sanqi like an idiot: "What can you ask about? Bi Xinglong and Ma Zhongli stood up and followed us immediately."
"Ah, who are you looking down on?"
Now it was Lin Sanqi's turn to feel unhappy. She pushed away the person who tried to dissuade her and took out a red notebook from her backpack:
"See clearly who I am. If you want to take away my people, of course I can ask you what happened. Who knows if you are fake enemy agents."
"You!"
Several other Chinese tunic suits were about to break out when they were stopped by the staff leading the team. They took Lin Sanqi's work permit and took a look at it. There were two bars and one star, so a smile appeared on their faces:
"It turns out to be Major Lin. Hello, we are also acting under orders. I can't say anything else. I can only say that we asked two doctors, Bi Xinglong and Ma Zhongli, to go back to Union Hospital to confront some matters."
Lin Sanqi saw that the other party's attitude had softened, and she also put away her dog face:
"Confront something? Go back to Xiehe? Are you going to rescue the patient?"
The man in Mao suit shook his head, indicating that he couldn't say anything more.
Lin Sanqi knew that these staff members had confidentiality regulations, so he continued to ask:
"Comrade, I won't embarrass you. If you are rescuing any patients, maybe I can help. First of all, I am the superior of Comrades Bi Xinglong and Ma Zhongli, and I need to know what happened.
Secondly, I am also the director of the Tuberculosis Department. I am a medical authority in the country and I am relatively confident in my medical skills. If you need to rescue anything, I can also help. How about you call your superiors and ask? ”
The Tuberculosis Department of the Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine has a telephone, a dark hand-cranked telephone.
The staff member in Mao suit looked at the phone, then at the red work ID book on the table, hesitated, and finally dialed the number.
Five minutes later, Lin Sanqi drove the jeep himself and followed the car in front to the Union Medical College Hospital. Behind them sat the anxious Bi Xinglong and Ma Zhongli.
Lin Sanqi is actually a little nervous. He is afraid that the right-hand man he finally hired will be gone:
"Dr. Bi, Dr. Ma, you two think about it. I'll call you to Peking Union Medical College Hospital and explain that the incident must have occurred while you were working at Peking Union Medical College. Did you say anything you shouldn't have said or come into contact with people you shouldn't have come into contact with?" ( End of chapter)
