Chapter 1347: The Other World (62)
Back at home, Xiong Junjun was watching TV, and when she saw Pang Xiaonan coming in, she hurriedly got up and greeted her: "Brother, you're back." β
"Well," Pang Xiaonan walked to the sofa and sat down, took out the contract from his pocket and handed it to Xiong Junjun, "Here, take a look, is it the contract you signed?"
Xiong Junjun took the contract, read it carefully, and nodded to Pang Xiaonan: "I signed it." β
Pang Xiaonan nodded, took the contract, tore it up, threw it into the trash can next to the coffee table, and said with a smile: "Okay, your deed of sale doesn't exist, you can sleep with confidence." β
Xiong Junjun looked at Pang Xiaonan gratefully and said, "Brother, thank you." β
Pang Xiaonan waved his hand and said, "Don't thank me yet, the 1 million is lent to you, and you have to study and work hard to repay me." β
Xiong Junjun nodded solemnly, her eyes full of determination: "Well, brother, don't worry, I will keep my promise." β
Pang Xiaonan took out his ID card from his pocket and handed it to Xiong Junjun: "Put your ID card away." He pointed to the suitcase again, "Where is your luggage, see if everything is there?"
Xiong Junjun took out a cup of tea from the kitchen, handed it to Pang Xiaonan and said, "Brother, you drink tea first." β
Pang Xiaonan took the teacup and said to Xiong Junjun: "I have thought about your school, or go to the middle school affiliated to Dongli Military Academy, right?"
"Huh?" Xiong Junjun sat down and leaned forward to face Pang Xiaonan, "Brother, the middle school affiliated to Dongli Military Academy is not easy to enter, it is one of the top schools in the country, and my grades are only afraid that I am not qualified." β
Pang Xiaonan smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this, I'll help you get it, you are in your third year of high school this year, and the third year of high school has already started, so you can only transfer to the class." β
Xiong Junjun's eyes were full of longing, and he said, "Brother, as long as I can enter the middle school affiliated to Dongli Military Academy, I guarantee that I can be admitted to the university." β
Pang Xiaonan said solemnly: "It's not a guarantee that you can be admitted to university, at least you have to be admitted to Dongli Military Academy." β
"Well," Xiong Junjun nodded seriously, "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely live up to you." β
"Have you eaten?" Pang Xiaonan asked with concern.
"After eating, brother, do you want to eat supper, I'll make it for you. Xiong Junjun was about to get up and go to the kitchen.
"No need," Pang Xiaonan waved his hand to stop Xiong Junjun, "I'll implement your student status, you have nothing to do and rest early, I'll go out for a while, don't wait for me." β
Pang Xiaonan went out and went straight to Councilor Wang's house, it was still early, Councilor Wang was reading in the study, Su Xiaomei opened the door and said to Pang Xiaonan: "Councilor Wang is upstairs, you can go." β
Pang Xiaonan walked to the study on the second floor, Councilor Wang was reading a "Brief History of Mankind", and when he saw Pang Xiaonan coming in, Councilor Wang put down the book and said to Pang Xiaonan: "Why haven't I seen you for a few days, what are you doing?" β
Pang Xiaonan walked to the chair in front of the desk and sat down, leaned on the desk and said to Councilor Wang: "There is a relative at home who wants to ask you for a favor." β
"What's the matter?" Councilor Wang took off his reading glasses and sat up straight.
"I have a distant cousin, my parents don't care about her anymore, they come to me, she is in her third year of high school this year, I want to get her into the middle school affiliated to Dongli Military Academy, but I have nothing to do with it, so I have to come to you. Pang Xiaonan made up a large series of speeches, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, and even he himself admired his acting skills.
"Distant cousin?" Councilor Wang squinted at Pang Xiaonan, his eyes were full of smiles, with his understanding of Pang Xiaonan, Pang Xiaonan was not such a nosy person.
"Well, distant cousin. Pang Xiaonan's face did not have the slightest fluster, although he knew that this statement was a bit old-fashioned, but he couldn't be seen by Councilor Wang if he did a full set of acts.
"She doesn't care about her at home, do you care about her?"
"Hey," Pang Xiaonan sat up straight, "What's the situation, that is, when she was a child, she had a good relationship with me, and she deliberately came to Huahai City to take refuge in me, how can a person like me who values love and righteousness, how can I watch her lonely, I can help, I believe that you are also a person who values love and righteousness, so I came to you to discuss, your feet are wide, there should be no way, right?"
Councilor Wang coughed twice, and said with a smile: "I know, your childhood sweetheart's cousin, right? Haha, okay, okay, I'll find a way for you, and I'll go to the middle school affiliated to Dongli Military Academy to report tomorrow." The third year of high school should start early, go in early, don't delay your studies. β
"Exquisite!" Pang Xiaonan gave a thumbs up, "Lao Wang is really Lao Wang, okay, then I'll go back and wait for your news." With that, he got up and left.
Councillor Wang said, "Why, don't you sit down for a while? Or, two whole drinks?"
"Forget it, Lao Wang, just the amount of alcohol you drink, don't drink it, wait for another problem, and the disease I treated you before will be in vain. Pang Xiaonan walked to the door and righteously refused Councilor Wang's invitation to drink.
"Eh, when will you give me a bite of that old mountain ginseng?" Councilor Wang made another request to the baby in Pang Xiaonan's family.
Pang Xiaonan thought to himself that Councilor Wang was willing to help if he wanted some blood, so he turned around and smiled: "Okay, one day I'll get you some tonic and give you more old ginseng, don't worry, if you help me, I will definitely remember you." β
Councilor Wang stood up and said with a smile: "I'm not worried that you won't give me food, but you have to come over often to accompany me, we are such close neighbors, I have nothing to do at home alone, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, you kid don't just care about playing outside." β
"Got it," Pang Xiaonan walked up to Councilor Wang, patted Councilor Wang's shoulder and said, "I'll come over to accompany you when I have time, and besides, I'm not playing outside, I've been busy with business lately, and my head is getting bigger, so I really don't have time, so if you go to my house one day, I'll ask my cousin to give you a few snacks to drink." β
"That's it, I want to see your legendary cousin too. Councilor Wang sent Pang Xiaonan out of the study, and then sat back at the desk to read his book.
Xiong Junjun's enrollment went very smoothly, Councilor Wang only made a phone call to Peng Yuyan, and the admission procedures were completed quickly, Xiong Junjun sat in the classroom with a bright and clean window, and had only one wish in his heart, to be admitted to a good university as soon as possible, to graduate as soon as possible, and to repay Pang Xiaonan for his kindness as soon as possible.
On this day, Pang Xiaonan was in the classroom, taking advanced physics, although the teacher was very obscure, but Pang Xiaonan's mind was very clear, and he had a good grasp of the course, at this time he received a phone call, which was from the Affiliated Hospital of Dongli Military Academy.
Pang Xiaonan quietly slipped out of the classroom, and he was sitting in the back row of the classroom, so the teacher didn't pay attention to him at all.
"Hey, Dr. Khoo. "Pang Xiaonan and Dr. Qiu have only met a few times, and this is the first time Dr. Qiu has called him.
"Xiao Nan, I'm going to trouble you to come to the hospital today, we have admitted a patient, it is a case that we have never seen before, and we suspect that it is infectious, and there is no treatment for the time being, I hope you will come and study it." Dr. Khoo's tone was a little eager, sounding like he had encountered a problem.
"Okay, I'll be right over. Pang Xiaonan knew that Dr. Qiu would not look for him unless he had to, so he quietly slipped into the classroom again, took his schoolbag from the desk, slipped out of the classroom again, and rushed towards the Affiliated Hospital of Dongli Military Academy.
When Dr. Qiu came to the hospital, Dr. Qiu and a group of experts were already in a meeting to study the treatment plan, Dr. Qiu brought Pang Xiaonan into the conference room and briefly introduced: "Everyone, let me introduce you, this is a special expert of our hospital, Pang Xiaonan, who is good at traditional medicine and specializes in treating incurable diseases. Today, we specially invited him to come over and give us advice, everyone is welcome. β
Everyone applauded, and several experts were surprised by Pang Xiaonan's youth, but because Dr. Qiu was the academic leader of the hospital, and the people he brought in were definitely expected, everyone did not show disrespect to Pang Xiaonan.
Everyone sat around the conference table, and Pang Xiaonan sat in the northwest corner, listening to one of the young doctors introduce the report on his condition.
The young doctor took the medical record book and CT photos and introduced to everyone present: "The symptoms of this patient are similar to acute gastroenteritis, but the disease is developing very rapidly, and if it continues in the current state, this patient will die in less than 10 days, no, maybe three or five days." β
Dr. Qiu asked, "If the death rate of gastrointestinal inflammation is so fast, it may be caused by other complications, Dr. Xiao, what other manifestations does this patient have besides the symptoms of gastroenteritis?"
The young doctor, Dr. Xiao, who is also known as Dr. Qiu, continued: "When this patient was first brought in, he mainly had dry cough, fever and fatigue, with runny nose, sneezing and diarrhea. The disease progresses very quickly, and it has been a week since the patient was admitted, and the patient has dyspnea, respiratory distress syndrome, and the body temperature continues to rise, sometimes even reaching more than 39 degrees, showing headache and dizziness, or accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and sore throat. The patient also developed respiratory distress syndrome, metabolic acidosis, coagulation dysfunction and other conditions that were difficult to correct, which seriously affected his life. β
Dr. Qiu nodded and continued to ask, "How about the pathological analysis?
Dr. Xiao took out a magnified photo of the virus and put it on the slide projector to show everyone, "From the analysis of the samples extracted from the virus, this virus belongs to the order of nested virites, the coronaviridae, and the genus Coronaviruses, and is a subgroup C coronavirus of the Ξ² genus. The virions are mostly round, enveloped, and have corona-like arranged thrus around the periphery, which are distributed in the cytoplasm and are round, and the diameter of the virus is between 80~120nm. Viral particles are mainly distributed in the endoplasmic reticulum cisterna, in the cytoplasmic vacuoles and outside the cell, and are mostly aggregated in piles. Virus-infected cells show endoplasmic reticulum expansion, mitochondrial swelling, cristae lysis, and nuclear chromatin condensation and marginal collection. β
Dr. Xiao glanced around the audience and said with some heaviness: " This virus does not exist in the known virus reservoir, that is, this is a new type of virus, which may be mutated from some known viruses, and it is obvious that this new virus has a strong ability to survive, and its ability to cause disease exceeds that of most known viruses, so to speak, this is a super virus, a new species evolved in the microbial world, and what is even more terrifying is that this virus is very contagious, and there are already doctors and nurses infected in our department, and these doctors and nurses have only had indirect contact with patients, that is, they can be infected without physical contactγ β
Dr. Qiu nodded, glanced left and right with a serious expression, and then said, " Let's name this virus first, since it is similar to the symptoms of gastroenteritis in the early stage, then we will first call it a new type of gastroenteritis virus, referred to as the new gastric virus, the contagiousness of this virus may be transmitted through droplets or even airborne, so Dr. Xiao, your department will immediately carry out thorough disinfection, and isolate the patient and all infected medical staff, and our entire hospital will also immediately carry out a thorough disinfection, and the disinfection plan will be formulated by Dr. Zhuo Dan of the Administration Department. β
Dr. Khoo turned his head to an old doctor in his sixties, " Dr. Zhuo Dan will draw up a plan before noon today and hand it over to me to confirm, and then, all of us present today will set up a new gastric virus expert group, the leader of which will be on temporary duty, and the actual operation will be in charge of Dr. Jack Muskie, and immediately study the development of isolation treatment countermeasures and drugs, if necessary, we will also contact the medical experts of the entire Hallelujah Star, I will inform the Minister of Health and Health about the relevant situation today, okay, the meeting is here for the time being, and then Dr. Jack Ma will continue to organize the meeting and arrange the specific division of labor, and Pang Xiaonan and I will go out firstγ β
Dr. Qiu took Pang Xiaonan to his office, and when Pang Xiaonan sat down, Dr. Qiu said to Pang Xiaonan with a solemn expression: "The real situation is far more serious than what you just heard, because you are an outsider, so they are not completely telling the truth, the cure rate of this virus is very low, and the comprehensive cure rate of all our patients is only 50%, that is, according to the current level of medical care, half of the patients will die, and they will die quickly." β
Pang Xiaonan nodded, with his understanding, the Affiliated Hospital of Dongli Military Academy is the best military hospital in the country, which is equivalent to one of the strongest hospitals in the country, and the medical level is in the forefront of the world.
"How did the first patient get infected, and should we find out the cause from the source?" Pang Xiaonan felt that the top priority was to prevent the rapid spread of the virus, otherwise it would cause a large-scale outbreak, which would lead to panic among people.
"We interrogated the first patient we admitted, but this patient didn't have bad habits, didn't smoke, didn't drink, didn't stay up late, and his only hobby was swimming in the winter, of course, in the summer, but he was swimming in the river. He said he went swimming in the nearby Dalang River every day, and felt uncomfortable when he didn't swim for a day. Dr. Qiu propped his head with one hand and carefully recalled the patient's habits.
"Does he like to eat game or anything? As far as I know, a lot of unknown viruses are transmitted from wild animals. Pang Xiaonan knows the source of the virus in some wild animals, as carriers of the virus, these animals will not get sick themselves, but they will infect humans and cause human infection.
Dr. Qiu shook his head and said, "This patient is very good at health preservation, and his diet is usually very light, basically vegetarian, and he has never eaten wild animals. β
Pang Xiaonan looked out the window, thought for a while and said: "Maybe this patient is not the first person to be infected with the new stomach virus, we have to investigate who he has been in contact with before, and who has become ill or even died now, earlier than him, or the real first case." β
Dr. Qiu's eyes lit up, slapped the table, and said: "That's right, you're right, maybe he is really not the first case, I will immediately notify the police and let them pull the net to investigate, the current situation is already very serious, and if we don't control it, I'm afraid it will cause a mass terrorist incident." β
Pang Xiaonan scratched his head and said, "I'm afraid that a disease as serious as a contagion can't be infected by someone else, right? You tell you the truth, how many patients are there in the hospital now?"
Dr. Khoo took a deep breath and said, "There have been 11 people in the gastroenterology department, including medical staff, and 5 have died, and it has only been more than two weeks since the first case was discovered, and the situation is already quite serious. β
Pang Xiaonan smashed his mouth and said, "It's very serious, haven't you found a cure yet?"
Dr. Qiu shook his head and sighed: "Because it is a new type of virus, the hospital does not have targeted treatment drugs, and at present, it can only be treated according to gastroenteritis, and the effect is very limited. β
Pang Xiaonan had a hint of surprise in his eyes, and asked, "You mean that the patients who died are all poor in their own immunity?"
Dr. Qiu nodded and said, "Of the 5 people who died, 4 were over 60 years old, and 1 was a 6-year-old child, and all 4 old people had more or less other major diseases, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, etc., and the infection of the neogastric virus also caused the aggravation of their other diseases, so their deaths were not entirely caused by gastrointestinal diseases caused by the neogastric virus." The new gastric virus acts as a fuse, causing gastrointestinal diseases and accelerating the development of other diseases, which can quickly lead to the collapse of the body's immune system and lead to death. β
"That's easy. Pang Xiaonan frowned, constantly combining prescriptions in his mind.
"Oh?" Dr. Qiu's eyes lit up, "You mean, you have a way to deal with the new stomach virus?"
"That's right," Pang explained. Now the world's common way to treat diseases is to directly deal with the virus, that is, to find a way to kill the virus, this method is simple and crude, direct and effective, but this method will also have side effects, because the human body where the virus is located is not a simple environment, it is an organic whole, in the process of killing the virus, it will also kill some other beneficial bacteria, or destroy the health of the organs, so if the patient's immune system is not strong enough, it is likely to be more and more serious treatment. That is to say, one-third of cancer is curative, one-third is scared to death, because the universal treatment of cancer is aimed at the elimination of cancer cells, but at the same time, it also causes great damage to healthy cells and destroys the body's immune system. β
Dr. Qiu nodded and interjected: "You are right, some diseases are indeed cured, and if they are not treated, the patient may live longer." β
Pang Xiaonan continued to explain: "Well, the ancient medical skills of our country and modern medical treatment are two completely different routines. Our Chinese medical method is mainly to improve the body's own immunity, so as to better deal with the virus, and use the potential of the human body to fight the virus, rather than relying on drugs, so if some incurable diseases cannot be treated, the Chinese medical method is often very effective, because the immune system inside the human body is incomprehensible and powerful, as long as the potential of the immune system can be stimulated, there is no disease that cannot be cured. β
Pang Xiaonan searched for a few prescriptions in his mind, and continued to say to Dr. Qiu: "If according to the situation you said, the patient with better constitution can be cured, then the treatment plan of this new stomach virus can try the prescription of Chinese medicine. β
Dr. Qiu's heart tightened and asked, "Are you sure?"
Pang Xiaonan blinked his eyes and said: "I need the medical records of all your patients, including symptoms, test results, life history, etc., the more detailed the better, I still have to go to the ward in person, contact the patient, you arrange it immediately, as for the grasp, I don't dare to pack the ticket now, you also know that the prescription of Chinese medicine is to regulate the body, and the effect is not so fast, I have to adjust it at any time in combination with the cure." But don't worry, I'll find the best recipe in the end. β
Dr. Qiu nodded and said, "I'm sure you must have a way, but it's dangerous to come into contact with patients, you may be infected, are you sure you want to go?"
Pang Xiaonan laughed and said: "Do you think it is reliable for doctors to treat patients without touching them? Of course I have to observe the patients closely, and also, I have to check the pulse for them, look at the pulse, I must see them in order to make an accurate diagnosis, as for the danger, you don't have to worry, I can't even protect myself, can you believe that I can cure this disease?"
Pang Xiaonan's words were convincing to Dr. Qiu, and he immediately got up to personally arrange a meeting with the patient for Pang Xiaonan, and took him to the isolation ward.
The isolation ward is located on the top floor of the internal medicine building of the Affiliated Hospital of Dongli Military Academy, which was originally an empty ward prepared for special situations, but because of the severity of the new stomach virus, this floor was immediately activated, and all the medical staff are capable forces drawn from other departments, treating and studying patients day and night, some of them have not gone home for many days, not even out of the ward, and are eating and living in the isolation ward, just afraid of going out to infect others, especially family members.
