The door of the isolation ward is a heavy iron door, installed with a smart door lock, only people with special permissions can enter, Dr. Qiu put the thumb of his right hand on the sensor, the door "clicked" open, Dr. Qiu pushed open the heavy door, and walked in first, followed by Pang Xiaonan.

There is also a door inside the gate, and there is a doctor on duty outside this door, and when he saw Dr. Qiu, he immediately got up and greeted: "Dean Qiu, you are here, I have arranged it according to your instructions, you can go in after changing your clothes, and I will take you in then." ”

Dr. Qiu waved his right hand and motioned Pang Xiaonan to follow him into the locker room to change clothes, and the two came to a cloakroom-like room, only to see that it was full of protective clothing.

Doctor Qiu was about to get into a protective suit, but Pang Xiaonan grabbed him and said, "Don't go in, I'll go with the doctor." ”

"What's the matter, you're worried I'm going to get infected?" Dr. Qiu stopped what he was doing and looked at Pang Xiaonan fixedly.

Pang Xiaonan analyzed: "The risk of the elderly and children you said is relatively large, I don't think you are young anymore, more is better than less, you just wait outside, the work of the hospital still needs you to preside, you can't ignore the risk at this time." ”

Dr. Qiu felt that what Pang Xiaonan said was reasonable, so he did not insist and gave up the protective clothing to Pang Xiaonan.

This is a one-piece protective suit, which is directly put on the feet, and the whole person is wrapped in the protective suit when the zipper located on the abdomen is pulled, and then the matching helmet is worn on the head, just like an astronaut.

Pang Xiaonan was stunned for a moment when he put his hand into his sleeve, and immediately took it off again, and said to Dr. Qiu: "Doctor Qiu, please find me a pair of scissors, this one-piece glove is a little troublesome, I have to cut a few holes, and the pulse must be exposed." ”

Dr. Qiu found a pair of surgical scissors, Pang Xiaonan took it and cut the finger end of the glove twice, cutting the entire glove of his right hand from the palm of his hand, and then he put on the protective suit again.

Under the leadership of the doctor on duty, Pang Xiaonan entered the second door and came to a ward, the whole ward was filled with the smell of potions, and there was an old man with gray hair lying inside, wearing a white mask, Pang Xiaonan couldn't see his face, but he could see from his eyes that he was very tired.

The doctor on duty introduced Pang Xiaonan: "This old man is the famous scientist Professor Hamilton Tons, who has been sent in for 6 days, and his early symptoms are vomiting and diarrhea, and now he has other complications, which are written in the medical record." We used some medicine, but we couldn't control the deterioration of the condition, the old man already had the idea of suicide, because he was really tormented by the disease is very painful, he also knew that the hospital did not have a special medicine for treatment for the time being, as a scientist, he also understood us, but it was really too painful. ”

The doctor on duty lowered his voice and leaned into Pang Xiaonan's ear and said: "The old man has to go to the toilet more than ten times a day, and sometimes there is nothing to pull out, but he just feels uncomfortable in his stomach, and he spends more time in the toilet than in bed." ”

Pang Xiaonan stepped forward and said to the old man: "Professor Hamiltonx, hello, I am a doctor from the Affiliated Hospital of Dongli Military Academy, I want to check your pulse and see if there is a way to treat your illness." ”

"Take the pulse?" Professor Hamiltonx replied weakly, "Forget it, I can't even cure this disease with modern medicine, can I cure the pulse?" Hamiltonx looked away from Pang Xiaonan's face, looking up and not knowing where to look.

"Professor Hamilton Tonks, this Dr. Pang Xiaonan is a distinguished expert of our hospital, and he has a lot of experience in the treatment of incurable diseases, please cooperate with his examination. The doctor on duty introduced the old man.

Professor Hamiltonx frowned slightly, and once again turned his eyes to Pang Xiaonan, Pang Xiaonan was wearing a heavy protective suit, and his face was hidden behind a helmet, Hamiltonx couldn't see his appearance, but he felt that Pang Xiaonan's voice was not heavy, and he didn't sound like an experienced expert.

But after all, it was introduced by the doctor on duty, and it wouldn't be a fake expert, Hamiltonks's eyes softened, and he said slowly: "Okay, anyway, I don't think I have many days to live, you can treat it as you want." ”

Pang Xiaonan comforted: "Professor Hamiltonx, don't be so pessimistic, maybe we have a way to cure you." With that, he put his right hand on Hamiltonx's wrist.

"Don't comfort me so much, young man," said Hamiltonx, his tone was extremely flat, as if he looked down on life and death, "I know my own business, and as long as I don't suffer this anymore, I wish I would die at once." ”

Pang Xiaonan said solemnly: "Professor Hamiltonx, you are a scientist, you should know how important a person's will is, if you have such negative thoughts, no matter how good the treatment plan is, it will not work, the patient's will to survive is a prerequisite for the recovery of the disease, I hope you don't have such negative thoughts again." ”

Hamiltonks's pulse was very messy, Pang Xiaonan frowned, this was already a sign of being terminally ill, but Pang Xiaonan had already roughly figured out what kind of physical manifestations the new stomach virus would cause from this pulse.

Then, Pang Xiaonan went to the wards of several patients and diagnosed their pulses, which further reflected his pathological analysis of the new gastric virus.

After diagnosing all the sick people in the isolation ward, Pang Xiaonan walked out of the second door of the isolation ward, took off his protective clothing and threw it into the special trash can, and then walked out of the isolation ward and downstairs.

Dr. Qiu was not here, he had a lot of things to deal with, Pang Xiaonan asked him to go first, and at this time he was already starting to report the situation to the Minister of Health and Health. Pang Xiaonan dialed Dr. Qiu's phone and said, "Dr. Qiu, I have already left the isolation ward, I know the general situation, and then I will go back to study the formula, tomorrow, no, I will dispense the medicine in the evening, and give it to Professor Hamilton Dollars to treat it first to see the effect." ”

Pang Xiaonan thinks that without further ado, this new stomach virus is too powerful, solve it one day sooner and protect the health of most people one day earlier, as soon as he got out of the internal medicine building of the Affiliated Hospital of Dongli Military Academy, he was about to drive to the nearby medicinal material market, and suddenly denied this idea, he was in the best hospital in the country, is it necessary to go outside to buy medicine?

So he called Dr. Qiu again, although he knew that Dr. Qiu must be very busy now, and he didn't want to bother him all the time, but after all, dispensing medicine is also a big deal, "Dr. Qiu, excuse me again, I think it's better to get some medicine in the hospital, it will be faster, most of the medicinal materials in the hospital are available, right?"

Dr. Qiu said on the phone: "Xiao Nan, you have forgotten your identity, you are a special expert of our hospital, I have given you permission, you can go to the pharmacy to get the medicine by yourself, and then you just need to sign, I'm sorry, I can't accompany you to the pharmacy, I do have a lot of things on hand, I'll make a call, you can go directly." ”

"Okay, Dr. Khoo, I see. Pang Xiaonan hung up the phone, and walked towards the pharmacy of the Affiliated Hospital of Dongli Military Academy, the pharmacy was very large, Pang Xiaonan opened a list to the pharmacy manager on duty, a fat middle-aged woman, she was busy in the pharmacy for a long time, about ten or twenty minutes, before finding all the medicines on the list.

She stared at Pang Xiaonan strangely and said, "Several of these medicines you are looking for are medicines that have been kept in the pharmacy for a long time, if it weren't for my good memory, it would be really difficult to find." Dr. Pang, these drugs seem to be somewhat toxic, what kind of disease are you going to use them for?"

Pang Xiaonan laughed, he didn't expect that there was still Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in this pharmacy, and he knew so much about the habits of medicinal materials, he made up a reason and said: "It's a three-point poison, some toxicity is normal, I have a patient in my hand, he is a little sick, and he needs to fight poison with poison, I'll try these flavored medicines, thank you." ”

Pang Xiaonan took the medicine and went home in a hurry, as soon as he entered the house, he took out his mobile phone and made a call to Huang Minghu, Huang Minghu whispered on the phone: "What about class, why didn't you come?"

Pang Xiaonan smiled and said, "I can't come for something, you can call it for me." ”

"No problem, Brother Nan. You can rest assured, you are guaranteed to complete the task. Huang Minghu said cautiously, for fear that the teacher would call him.

Bringing the medicinal materials to the kitchen, Pang Xiaonan began to prepare the prescription, washed the medicinal materials and put them in the medicine jar, turned on the gas stove, put the medicine jar with water on the gas stove, and began to boil the medicine.

During this period, Pang Xiaonan answered a phone call, it was Xiong Junjun calling, and she was full of concern on the phone, "Brother, have you eaten?"

Pang Xiaonan looked at the time, it was almost 1 o'clock in the afternoon, and he forgot to eat, but he didn't tell the truth: "I've eaten, what's the matter, haven't you gone to class yet?"

"Not yet, I'll give you a call during the lunch break. Xiong Junjun's voice was full of joy, "Brother, we have a holiday tomorrow, I'll go home and cook for you, what do you want to eat?"

"Is it the weekend tomorrow?" Pang Xiaonan looked at his phone, it was indeed Friday, "You, don't keep thinking about going home and cooking for me, it's the right thing to study hard every day." ”

"I know brother, don't worry about learning, we took the mock exam yesterday, and I took the first place in the class," Xiong Junjun's grades are really good, although she entered the 5th class of the senior high school affiliated to the Dongli Military Academy as a transfer student, but she exerted her amazing strength in the first mock exam, which made the whole class and teachers look at her with admiration, and it attracted the attention of most of the boys in the class, and the coexistence of beauty and wisdom is probably what she said, "I'll cook you a meal to celebrate, okay?"

"Damn, first place," Pang Xiaonan shouted happily, "That's to celebrate, you look at it, buy it, I can eat whatever I want, is it enough for your living expenses? Do you want to transfer a little more to you? You can buy whatever you want to eat, don't be too expensive." ”

"I still have money, brother, enough to buy groceries, then let's say so, I'll be back tomorrow morning, you wait for me at home." Xiong Junjun hung up the phone excitedly.

After Pang Xiaonan hung up the phone, he concentrated on boiling medicine, boiling medicine is a technical job, especially for the treatment of such a tricky disease, the grasp of the heat is very important.

At about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Pang Xiaonan finally boiled up the medicine for 9 people, according to his treatment plan, the prescription for Hamilton Tics was 3 times a day, once in the morning, noon and evening, and the medicine for 9 people could be taken for 3 days, and a course of treatment for 3 days could see obvious results.

Pang Xiaonan sealed the potion into a special plastic bag, sealed the mouth of the bag with a thermoplastic machine, then made himself a cup of tea, and after resting for a while, he drove the potion to the Affiliated Hospital of Dongli Military Academy.

Pang Xiaonan carried the medicine directly to Dr. Qiu's office, Dr. Qiu had just finished talking to the Minister of Health and Health on the phone, and was now falling into the office chair, rubbing his eyebrows vigorously, he was under a lot of pressure during this time, and he couldn't sleep well every day.

Seeing the medicine that Pang Xiaonan brought over, Dr. Qiu was a little surprised, "Where did you boil the medicine, and sealed it, did you boil it in the hospital?"

Most people don't have thermoplastic machines at home, and they don't take plastic bags to fill medicines, so Pang Xiaonan's medicine looks like it was processed in a hospital, in fact, Pang Xiaonan's equipment was bought when he boiled medicine for Councilor Wang, and the current online shopping is very convenient, and he bought it on his mobile phone.

"I'm boiling it at home, you can send it to the patient, oh no, these medicines are specially prepared for Professor Hamiltonx, give him to eat first, see the effect, if there is an effect, then promote this prescription. There are a total of 9 packs here, once a day in the morning, noon and evening, a course of treatment for 3 days. Pang Xiaonan put the potion on Dr. Qiu's desk and sat down across from Dr. Qiu.

Dr. Qiu pressed the button of a telephone landline on the desktop and said into the speakerphone, "Anna, come in for a moment." ”

In a few seconds, a beautiful blonde woman wearing black stockings walked in and asked Dr. Qiu with a smile, "Dean, what are your orders?"

Dr. Qiu pointed to the potions on the table and said, "You carry these medicines to the isolation ward, and ask the doctor on duty to arrange for Professor Hamilton to take them as soon as possible, and tell them to pay attention to the curative effect." ”

"Okay, Dean, I'll go. After saying that, Anna carried the potion prepared by Pang Xiaonan, shook her slender waist and walked out of Dr. Qiu's office.

Dr. Qiu waited for Anna to come out of the office and said to Pang Xiaonan: "The situation is very serious, now it is not only our hospital, according to the Minister of Health, there are similar cases in major cities across the country, the most serious is not our Huahai City, it is Wenhe City in the middle reaches of the Dalang River, where there have been hundreds of cases, the fatality rate is close to 60%, the Ministry of Health is considering whether to close the city, and according to our Huahai City police investigation, our first case was infected after contact with people from Wenhe City." ”

Pang Xiaonan pondered for a while and said: "I think the city should be closed, if it is really such a contagious virus, the closure is undoubtedly the best measure to isolate the infection." ”

"That's right," Dr. Qiu stood up, shook his waist from side to side, and hammered his lower back, "But there are many consequences of the lockdown, so they have to consider it comprehensively, the Ministry of Health can't make a decision, at least the House of Representatives must pass it, once the city is closed, the pressure of public opinion is not small, and the hostile forces in the international community who are eyeing us want us to make this decision." ”

"I don't have time to think about it so much," Pang Xiaonan took a deep breath, "Compared to human life, everything else is a trivial matter, I estimate that if the city is not closed, the people who go out from Wenhe City will carry the new stomach virus to all parts of the country, and then it will become a national malignant event, and it will be too late." ”

"I think so too," Dr. Qiu took off his reading glasses and rubbed his eyeballs, "but politicians have different considerations, they have to consider their own political achievements, and admitting this super virus is admitting that the government has been negligent in the prevention and control of the virus, which means that the government is incompetent. ”

After a moment of silence, Pang Xiaonan asked, "Has the source of the infection been found?"

Dr. Qiu nodded, rubbed his face, and said tiredly: "Through accurate traceability, the police suspect that it was infected by a fish." ”

"A fish?" Pang Xiaonan was very curious.

"Yes, a fish," Dr. Qiu said, sitting heavily in his chair and tilting his head, "do you remember our first case in Huahai City? He is a swimmer, and most of his friends met through swimming, and the first case in the country, the patient in Wenhe City, is also a swimmer, and they met through last year's swimming competition across the Dalang River. ”

"A while ago, this patient in Huahai City went to Wenhe City, met with the patient in Wenhe City, and after coming back, he became ill, and the patient in Wenhe City, the onset was still before him, through the national big data survey, it was confirmed that the patient in Wenhe City was the first case of neogastric virus in the country. Dr. Qiu's eyes were a little glazed, as if this was not what he understood, and he was just repeating it mechanically.

In addition to the hobby of swimming, the first patient in Wenhe City also has a big hobby of fishing and eating fish, he often goes to the Dalang River to fish, and after catching fish, he will go home to cook and eat. Just half a month ago, he caught a fish in the Dalang River, he said that he had never seen this variety, and the fish was very large, about seven or eight catties, he was so happy, he hurried home to kill the fish to eat, but this fish is more fishy than ordinary fish, and the fish meat is very thick and not delicate, it tastes a bit like beef, it is not beef, it is chewed like sawdust, in short, it is not delicious, so the fish only made a little bit, did not eat it, and then he threw it all away. Dr. Khoo felt sorry that if the fish were still there, it could be the key to finding a solution.

"The day after eating the fish, the first patient began to vomit and diarrhea and was admitted to the hospital, which at first treated as a general acute gastroenteritis, until various complications later appeared, and he realized that he was not suffering from ordinary gastroenteritis. Moreover, after he was hospitalized, some patients in the same room and on the same floor were infected with the same symptoms, and several doctors and nurses were also infected, and the hospital found out the seriousness of the situation. Judging from all the clues, it is highly likely that this new stomach virus was brought by that fish. ”

Dr. Qiu picked up the mobile phone from the table, opened the mobile phone album, flipped out a picture, and then handed it to Pang Xiaonan, "According to the description of the first patient, the police synthesized the picture of the fish, but biological experts said that this fish does not exist in the known fish race, that is, there is no such fish in the world, but the patient said that it is this fish, there is no mistake, and the expert finally said that this fish may be produced by the hybridization of different species of fish, or it is possible that some fish mutated into this way during their growth." ”

Pang Xiaonan took the phone and looked at it, this is really an ugly fish, a bit like a synthesis of grass carp and salmon, and like a composite of eel and carp, with spotted skin, scales that seem to be there, a wide mouth and big eyes, and a body like a cylinder, which is extremely ugly.

Pang Xiaonan returned the phone to Dr. Qiu and said, "I agree that this fish is mutated, so the origin of the new stomach virus will be clear, and it is also mutated." ”

Dr. Qiu nodded and said, "Yes, your opinion is also shared by most experts in the medical field. ”

"Did the first patient die?" Pang Xiaonan asked a question he wanted to know the most.

"It's not dead, it's healed. Dr. Qiu watched Pang Xiaonan say this amazing answer, and when he found out, he was actually shocked.

But this was all expected by Pang Xiaonan, who said to Dr. Qiu: " This is an interesting story, a suspicious fish, carrying a super virus, was caught from the river by a person who loves fishing, and then was eaten by this person, this person was infected with a super virus, and then had symptoms of gastroenteritis, he had to be admitted to the hospital, after careful treatment in the hospital, this person's illness was cured, but this super virus entered the hospital system, and infected other patients, and then some patients recovered, and the super virus continued to spread by people......"

Doctor Qiu looked at Pang Xiaonan in a daze, frowned, and said, "You mean, this is a premeditated ruse?"

Pang Xiaonan shook his head and said: "There are many possibilities here, what you are talking about is only one of them, for example, this fish is a biological and chemical weapon researched by a secret laboratory of a certain country, for example, why did the first person who spread the virus not die, and does he have some kind of antibody? For example, those who carry the new stomach virus are not sick for the time being, so how long is the incubation period? For example, how can we control these people who carry the virus and prevent them from continuing to spread the virus...... Pang Xiaonan put forward several possibilities in a row, and Dr. Qiu listened very attentively.

"We have to take coercive measures!" Dr. Qiu stood up suddenly, clapped his hands on the desk, and looked at Pang Xiaonan fixedly.

Pang Xiaonan also stood up and said, "I won't bother you, you have to think of a way." I'll go first, goodbye. With that, he turned around and left Dr. Khoo's office, leaving space and time for him.
