Chapter 256 The power of chaebols

Author: Tutushi

"What's happening here?"

"I do not know……"

"Oh my God, something happened in the hospital!"

In the lobby of the emergency room, the patients and their families who were queuing up at the triage desk and waiting to be seen were all, without exception, looking a little flustered. Some even secretly took out their mobile phones and looked at the patients.

The controller secretly took photos.

This kind of panic is actually a normal emotion.

Because the public rarely encounters such situations in daily life, and "protective clothing" is easily associated with radiation, bacteria, viruses, etc.

One of the nurses at the triage table hurriedly picked up the phone and seemed to be reporting to the hospital leadership, while the other walked towards the CDC personnel.

But before her, Gu Ji stepped forward and spoke:

"I am Jin Jijiu."

"Prosecutor Kim, hello, Kang Sung-hun, a researcher at the Department of Infectious Diseases at the Seoul Central CDC, these two are from the testing center..."

"Excuse me, everyone, what happened?"

At this time, the young female nurse hurriedly ran up and asked.

Jiang Chengxun looked to be in his early thirties. He adjusted the position of his mask and glanced at Gu Ji. "We received a report from the prosecutor and suspected that someone in your emergency room was infected with a severe infectious disease. The specific situation needs to be determined."

We can only draw a conclusion after taking samples and testing.”

"ah!?"

The female nurse covered her mouth and exclaimed, "This, this is impossible."

Disease control researcher Jiang Chengxun ignored her at all and continued to ask:

"Mr. Prosecutor, where is the infected person now? Has a doctor done a preliminary examination?"

Gu Ji nodded with an extremely serious expression: "The situation is more serious than I thought. The patient has been to the Middle East and currently has a very high temperature. His wife who accompanied him also has the same symptoms and is probably infected."

"the Middle East?"

Jiang Chengxun didn't react for a moment.

This is also normal, because the MERS virus is only concentrated in the Middle East and Europe. Before the MERS infection incident in South Korea in 2015, no infected patients had ever been found in East Asia.

"I suspect it's the MERS virus!"

"MERS?"

After all, Jiang Chengxun was a CDC researcher, and he quickly understood the seriousness of the matter.

His eyes also became serious.

In the Korean medical system, researchers are higher than residents and second only to chief physicians, so there is no doubt about their professional ability.

"Taewoo, quickly bring a mask to Mr. Prosecutor Kim!"

"oh oh!"

Upon hearing the order, the nurse at the testing center behind her hurriedly took out a green N95 mask from the aluminum alloy medical box she was carrying.

"For your safety, please wear a mask."

"Thank you." After Gu Ji took it, he immediately led the three of them to the respiratory department.

But as soon as he turned into the corridor, Gu Ji saw four or five people surrounding the door of the department. Some of them were hospital staff in white coats, and two were security guards in black uniforms.

"Damn it! I clearly told the director of the respiratory department not to let anyone near the department."

Gu Ji never thought that Han Zaiyuan would obey his orders honestly.

But as a doctor at the level of a chief professor, this guy dared to let people in even though he knew the whole story. Isn't he afraid of nosocomial infection?

"Hey! You can't go in now!"

Just when Gu Jigang was about to rush into the department, two security guards suddenly stepped forward, one with an arm and stretched out their hands to stop him.

"Step aside!"

Gu Ji didn't bother to explain to the security guard and just showed his ID.

I have to say that the identity of this "prosecutor" is really useful. After the two security guards saw it, their attitudes immediately softened and they said with embarrassment: "Mr. Prosecutor, I'm sorry, this is the order of our vice president.

…”

"Prosecutor Jin, what crime did this patient commit?"

Halfway through the conversation, a short, round-headed, somewhat bald middle-aged man suddenly walked out of the clinic.

Judging from the respectful attitude of several people, this person should be the vice president.

Gu Ji glanced at his badge.

Vice President of Seoul Sansang Hospital: Lee Min-bok.

"He committed no crime."

"Since there is no crime, then this matter has nothing to do with you. Treating patients and saving people is our hospital's internal matter. Please leave here first and don't delay our normal treatment. Otherwise, I will find you in the Central District of Seoul."

We had a chat with Prosecutor Sun."

When Lee Min-bok talked about this passage, he looked like he was smiling, which was vulgar and scary.

Being able to become the vice president of the top hospital in South Korea is certainly no ordinary person.

He was obviously not as easy to scare as Han Zaiyuan and the others, and he even mentioned the identity of his boss in a few words. An ordinary person might have quit long ago.

"Although he has not committed a crime, the patient has been to the Middle East. I suspect that he may have been infected with the MERS virus. It is highly similar to SARS. According to the Korean infectious disease classification, the fatality rate is extremely high, or the risk of collective infection is extremely high, and it belongs to Category A

Infectious diseases, I don’t know the route of his infection now, if it is a bioterrorism attack, this matter will be related to me!"

When Gu Ji spoke, his tone was calm and he looked directly at Li Minfu, not being overwhelmed by the other person's aura at all.

Not to mention that he has experienced various scenes, he has even met the Prime Minister of India, why would he be afraid of him as a vice president?

Furthermore, prosecutors handle cases independently, and even the chief prosecutor has no jurisdiction.

"MERS virus? What is this? Have you never heard of it?"

"I don't know, but I've heard of SARS, which is a very serious infectious disease!"

The two security guards and doctors behind him heard Gu Ji's conversation and started talking in a low voice subconsciously. The more they thought about it, the more something was wrong. Especially when they saw Gu Ji and the three CDC personnel behind him wearing white protective suits, they became even more frightened.

.

When I looked at my deputy dean again, he was also wearing a mask!

Seeing the public opinion happening, Li Minfu immediately stared, "What are you talking about? The prosecutor can just talk nonsense! At present, the patient has not even undergone etiology-related examinations, so how can you draw conclusions?"

"It just so happens that these three people were sent by the CDC. They can take samples and test the patients!"

Unexpectedly, Gu Ji immediately caught the loophole in Li Minfu's words and let the CDC people in.

"You! You guys..."

"Vice President Li! The patient's condition has deteriorated very quickly and he has fallen into a coma!"

Just when Li Minfu pointed his finger at Gu Ji and was about to stop them, Han Zaiyuan's shout suddenly came from the department.

Gu Ji took one step to knock Li Minfu away and rushed into the clinic.

I saw that the white-haired uncle who had the strength to fight and scold Gu Ji just now had completely fallen into a coma, and his wife in a pink vest who was sitting on the chair was also hugging him with her hands, shivering.

He said: "It's so cold, I feel so cold..."

"Mom! Mom, don't scare me!"

The son was completely frightened by the scene in front of him. He hurriedly took off his T-shirt, shirtless, and put it on his mother's body.

"Don't get close to her anymore. You'll be easily infected. Let the doctor come!"

Gu Ji called him.

Jiang Chengxun hurriedly stepped forward, preparing to observe the patient's condition, and asked Han Zaiyuan:

"Where are the ambulance and treatment vehicles?"

"We have sent people to push. Are you from the CDC?"

"Cough, fever, and difficulty breathing are enough to constitute a high degree of suspicion." Jiang Chengxun briefly checked the patient's performance, took the medical box from his hand and opened it, "Taiyu, take a sample immediately!"

"Researcher Jiang, since we have reached the high-precision standard, in accordance with the Emergency Management Regulations for Severe Infectious Diseases A, my suggestion is to immediately isolate the respiratory department and report it to the CDC headquarters, send additional members for support, close the emergency room, and stop everything

Movement of personnel, and pathogen testing for all secret contacts who have had close contact with patients."

"In addition, I suggest notifying the airport and airlines immediately, investigating the patient's return flight, and seeing if there are any patients with similar symptoms, such as fever, cough, and chills, among his companions. If so, they should be medically isolated immediately."

Gu Ji took this opportunity to talk about the best solution at present.

This is also the best solution he can think of based on public health knowledge, as well as the current environment and resources.
