"Yes, these bad people, no, these rumors, it seems that they are put out by unscrupulous businessmen, specifically to mislead us and let us buy their things."
"Damn it, I have bought all the air tickets. No, we can’t get a full refund.”
“What did the hospital say? Well, what do you believe? You’re not afraid of people lying to you. If they say it won’t be spread, they won’t spread it. What if?” We can’t take it all in, so we’d better be cautious.”
……
As Yu Shifu spoke, the public began to make various noises again, but overall it was better than before. At least the public now was obviously more rational than before.
“It is indeed the Ebola virus!”
These words were like thunder, exploding in the already tense and depressing air.
At this time, the Department of Gastroenterology had already become the temporary office space of the Infectious Disease Hospital, and it was busy and solemn. Director Li, who was responsible for leading the incident, held the just-completed sample test report with a solemn face, and announced the final conclusion in a low but firm voice.
After Wu Xiaofu, who was standing aside, heard the news, although he was somewhat prepared for it, when the cruel fact was really before his eyes, he still felt dizzy and seemed to lose his whole person. The center of gravity was normal, and he felt a little dazed.
After all, who can remain absolutely calm in the face of such a dangerous disease?
It’s not that Wu Xiaofu is not calm enough, but the reputation of the Ebola virus is too horrifying.
Once this deadly virus invades the human body, even the strongest people will be unable to escape the death threat it brings.
Thinking of this, Wu Xiaofu couldn't help but shudder, and beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead.
Even though he was regarded as a legend on the operating table, when faced with the Ebola virus, he still didn't know how to start.
And because the disease is highly contagious, the command of the scene no longer belongs to the First Affiliated Hospital.
The municipal government acted quickly and urgently mobilized the city's top and most experienced infectious disease experts to form a professional rescue team and quickly stationed in the First Affiliated Hospital.
At the same time, in order to curb the spread of the epidemic to the greatest extent, they decisively took measures to isolate themselves at the nearest place - all people who had close contact with the patient Huang Xiaojiang, including Wu Xiaofu, must undergo quarantine without exception. Strict isolation and observation.
Huang Xiaojiang has been hospitalized for nearly half a month, and during this period there are countless people who have had direct or indirect contact with him.
To completely control the spread of the virus, all these contacts must be identified one by one, and they must be examined in detail one by one.
No one who may be carrying the virus should be let go, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.
However, this battle against Ebola will not be easy.
It is destined to be a protracted and extremely difficult battle.
The reason is simple. Currently, no specific drug has been developed for this deadly virus. In the face of infected patients, all doctors can do is to provide appropriate treatment based on their specific symptoms and do their best to protect the patient's own immune barrier from being completely defeated by the virus.
Every patient needs to bite the bullet and persevere until the body develops a strong enough immunity to completely eliminate the virus in the body.
But this process is full of variables and challenges. Even the slightest laxity or negligence may very well lead to a worsening of the condition or even loss of life. This outcome is obviously something that no one wants to see.
The World Health Organization solemnly included this virus in the list of the most serious hazards to humans. It is a frightening "Level 4 virus."
Once Unfortunately, some patients who are infected with this terrible virus will reach the end of their lives in just 48 hours, and the way they die is extremely miserable.
When the Ebola virus invades the human body, it spreads rapidly in the body like a wild horse and reproduces crazily.
This terrible virus is like a ferocious invader, attacking multiple important organs in the human body mercilessly, causing irreversible degeneration and necrosis.
Over time, these organs gradually lose their original functions and are slowly broken into pieces.
The first thing patients suffer is internal bleeding, as if they are experiencing a bloody storm inside their bodies.
Immediately afterwards, blood began to flow out of the seven orifices uncontrollably, continuously and unstoppably.
Not only that, they would constantly vomit out the dead organs and tissues in their bodies from their mouths. The scene was simply too horrible to watch.
In the end, due to the combined effect of a series of fatal factors such as extensive internal bleeding and severe brain damage, the patients helplessly walked towards the abyss of death.
Doctors, nurses or family members who are responsible for caring for patients are very likely to be infected with this demonic virus as long as they have close contact with the patients.
Sometimes, the infection rate is even alarmingly high.
For example, during the outbreak in Sudan, the risk of infection among people who were in the same room and slept with patients was as high as 23%.
As for the staff responsible for caring for patients, the infection rate soared to a jaw-dropping 81%!
Even personnel engaged in experimental work in hospitals have experienced many cases of illness due to infection with the virus.
They are undoubtedly fully armed for protection, but even so, they cannot prevent the invasion of the Ebola virus, precisely because they know how scary the virus is.
The doctors and nurses staying in the Department of Gastroenterology are so scared at this time.
Not every doctor and nurse lives by faith. They also have families and relatives.
When facing the virus, it is normal to have feelings of fear and fear. Their ability to persist in working under such circumstances is worthy of praise.
"Director Wu, I'm sorry, we need you to cooperate with us for isolation and testing, but Director Liao has already said that he is willing to hand over his director's office to you for isolation purposes."
Director Li said to Wu Xiaofu with an apologetic look, which actually made Wu Xiaofu a little flattered. He didn't think he could be given any preferential treatment in this regard. After all, Director Li was the expert in infectious diseases.
While telling Director Li that he was willing to cooperate, he looked at Director Liao. Director Liao nodded, obviously a little sorry in his heart. After all, he was the one who called Wu Xiaofu over, and Wu Xiaofu was directly at close range. contacts.
If Wu Xiaofu is really infected with the Ebola virus, he will die of guilt. How can he still have the previous conflicts now?
Seeing Director Li's appearance, Wu Xiaofu couldn't shirk it anymore. It was all about testing. Once the test showed that everything was fine, there would be no need for that level of isolation. Area F of the Hepatobiliary Surgery Department was quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on Peng Xia, who was stunned.
He was staring blankly ahead, as if his soul was out of body, unaware of the gazes of the people around him. Everyone looked at each other, and couldn't help but feel a trace of doubt and surprise in their hearts, because such a state of absent-mindedness was really rare for Peng Xia, who had always been calm and capable.
In fact, Peng Xia is not the only one who is like this, everyone else present has more or less similar behavior.
At this moment, they were like precision machines running at high speed, suddenly losing power and coming to an abrupt stop.
Before this, the surgical schedule in the department was so tight that it made people breathless. Of the four medical teams, at least two or three groups will have surgeries scheduled at the same time, and sometimes all the teams will be fully scheduled with surgeries.
In other words, at certain times, this small ward alone can occupy three operating rooms and an interventional room, and it is often busy for a whole day.
And as doctors here, the pace of life is even more intense.
They are either on duty or spend all day working hard in the operating room. Even handling other work matters can only be done after the operation is completed.
We are busy from morning to night every day, and it is almost a luxury to get off work on time. It is no exaggeration to say that they are almost like tireless robots.
Although this job is full of hardship and fatigue, over a long period of time, everyone seems to have gradually adapted to this high-intensity and high-pressure work mode.
However, now this sudden pause makes them feel a little at a loss. Once the busy and running pace that is used to it stops, it will give rise to a sense of strangeness and discomfort.
Just half an hour ago, an emergency notice suddenly popped up in the hospital: "All surgeries currently in progress must be carried out as usual; however, all elective surgeries that have been scheduled but have not yet been carried out must be carried out immediately. Stop the execution..."
This news was like a bombshell, instantly causing an uproar in the entire hospital.
Not only surgeries are affected, but also various consultation activities and other related work are required to be suspended without exception.
In short, all medical staff are required to return to their respective departments as quickly as possible to be on standby.
This sudden change has made people a little overwhelmed, but more unexpected things are yet to come.
Not long after, another message was sent out in the large group: For those medical staff who failed to return to the department in time, isolation measures need to be implemented according to the principle of proximity.
Take area F as an example. Several doctors, such as Feng Lingling and Yuna, were closely following the director to perform an important operation.
When the first message was sent, they were even fighting on the operating table!
No one can say for sure whether the operation was successfully completed at this moment. Even if they are really done, I am afraid that at this moment, they can only stay in the operating room and undergo on-site isolation and observation.
As for Peng Xia, he had been anxiously waiting for Wu Xiaofu's arrival, and then the two of them could start a crucial operation together.
But after waiting and waiting, Wu Xiaofu never appeared. What was waiting in the end was just a brief message from Wu Xiaofu, which clearly read: "Stop the operation immediately and return to the department quickly."
At almost the same time, a series of messages came from the hospital group Also came one after another.
Nowadays, the fact that Ebola virus exists in the Department of Gastroenterology is no longer a secret, and Peng Xia is naturally aware of it.
Furthermore, Peng Xia also knew everything about Wu Xiaofu going to the Department of Gastroenterology for consultation.
Therefore, at this moment, there is a high probability that Wu Xiaofu is being isolated in the Department of Gastroenterology. When she thought that the Department of Gastroenterology had become the core area where the virus was raging, Peng Xia couldn't help but sweat for Wu Xiaofu, and the worry in her heart became more intense.
Some people may think that this concern is exaggerated, but for Peng Xia, it is not the case. It is no exaggeration to say that in the entire hospital, the only person who could make Peng Xia care about him all the time was probably Wu Xiaofu.
For a long time, Peng Xia has always had an almost mysterious and firm confidence in Wu Xiaofu. In his eyes, it seemed that as long as Wu Xiaofu was present, no matter what kind of problems he encountered, he would be able to find a solution easily in the end.
Especially on the operating table, the ability to maneuver with ease and control the overall situation is even more amazing. So far, Peng Xia has not witnessed any operation that even Wu Xiaofu could not successfully complete.
However, the current situation is very different from the past.
What Wu Xiaofu has to face is the extremely dangerous Ebola virus! This terrible virus shows no mercy to who is who.
If something unfortunate happened, Wu Xiaofu would not be spared either. Unfortunately, Peng Xia was infected and fell down and could not dare to think about it anymore.
“Impossible, impossible.”
Peng Xia quickly shook her head, and at this time Lu Xiaoyue suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
“Ahem, colleagues, please be quiet! Next I want to convey two important things to you.
First of all, everyone must be familiar with the situation of the Ebola virus. Already know something about it?
After receiving instructions from superiors, it is necessary to mobilize some medical staff from various departments to work with infectious disease experts to carry out virus prevention, control and quarantine work.
This task is very difficult, but it is also our unshirkable responsibility as medical staff. Therefore, we hope that everyone can respond positively and sign up voluntarily to participate in this work. If any comrades are willing to volunteer, you can sign up now. ”
At this moment, Wu Xiaofu is not in the department. At this critical moment, Lu Xiaoyue must stand up.
Especially when it is learned that two doctors, Zhang Xuewen and Chen Zhendong, are busy in the operating room at this time. At that time, Lu Xiaoyue was even more aware of the burden on her shoulders. Heavy.
What Lu Xiaoyue announced just now were all official announcements from the hospital. However, there was actually one sentence that she did not say in public, and that was - if no one voluntarily signed up to participate. Then we have to take coercive measures
According to regulations, party members must take the lead and leaders at all levels must lead by example, and at least five staff members from each department must participate.
Lu Xiaoyue knew in her heart that she would definitely be counted as a quota, but in this case, there were still four people left to meet the minimum requirements of the department.
However, forcing people to perform tasks is not a pleasant thing after all. Doing so can easily lead to complaints and even be regarded as evildoers.
Therefore, Lu Xiaoyue still hopes to see someone take the initiative to take on this responsibility out of their own will.
At this moment, Peng Xia was suddenly shocked, stood up suddenly as if he had made up his mind, and quickly raised his hands and shouted loudly: "I, I'm going!"
His voice was firm and powerful, making everyone present couldn't help but turn their attention to him. (End of this chapter)
