Chapter 84: Deterioration
"Dr. Lu, Dr. Lu, Professor Kuang, please go to the infectious ward immediately..."
In the afternoon, doctors are usually relatively leisurely. Unless there is surgery, Lu Xiyan is mostly reading books in his office or studying cases.
Suddenly, the office door was pushed open from outside, and a young intern came in, sweating all over his head. Lu Xiyan knew him, he was Professor Kuang's student, Jim, and he was a Portuguese.
"What happened?" Lu Xiyan was shocked and asked with the book in his hand.
"Shu, Shu's condition has worsened."
"Xiao Shu's condition worsened?" Lu Xiyan frowned. Didn't he be fine at noon? All the inspection indicators are almost normal. How could it suddenly worsen?
"Walk!"
The situation was urgent, and Lu Xiyan immediately went to the annex of the infectious ward with Jim, which specializes in treating patients with "cholera".
"Professor Kuang, what's going on? Why did Xiao Shu's condition suddenly worsen?" Outside the rescue room, Lu Xiyan met Professor Kuang who came out of it.
"I don't know, it was still fine at noon today. At around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the condition suddenly worsened, with severe diarrhea, accompanied by severe pain, strong vomiting, thin stool, like swelling, and no one looked like a person." Professor Kuang looked sad.
"Have the stool sample been sent for inspection?"
"I have already sent to the laboratory department, and the results will not be available until twelve o'clock tonight at the earliest." Professor Kuang said, "But I am afraid that Xiao Shu may not be able to hold on for that time."
"Can Xiao Shu survive for such a long time?"
"I don't know, we have no choice but to supplement him with normal saline and glucose. We can't do anything else now." Kwong Zhian was helpless.
"Can I go in and take a look?"
Kwong Chi-an thought for a moment and nodded.
Lu Xiyan walked into the ward and was really scared by Shu Yun's situation. Xiao Shu turned out to be a man weighing at least 100 pounds, but now, he was curled up on the hospital bed, like a monkey, with his eyes closed, like a dying person.
There was an unpleasant sour smell in the ward, which was almost the same as the slurry that had been left for several days.
"Xiao Shu, Xiao Shu..."
Shu Yun seemed to hear someone calling him, and opened his eyes slightly, revealing a gap. When he saw Lu Xiyan, a light flashed in his eyes. He had no strength to speak anymore, but the harsh meaning in his eyes was very obvious.
Save me!
Yes, the doctor's duty is to save lives and heal the wounded, but Lu Xiyan doesn't know how to save people now. Although he is a doctor, he doesn't know how to cure all diseases!
How could a person whose condition had improved suddenly worsen? This made him raise the suspicion in his mind again.
"Xiao Shu, has Xiao Yuan been here?"
Shu Yun didn't have the strength to speak, but he could still shake his head slightly.
"Have you been here?" Lu Xiyan frowned slightly. Did he guess wrong? If Xiao Yuan had been here, he had reason to suspect that it might be Xiao Yuan, but Xiao Yuan did not come, then what happened to the sudden aggravation of the condition?
"Xiao Lu, how about it?" Kwong Zhian asked anxiously when he saw Lu Xiyan coming out of the ward.
"Xiao Shu's condition is very bad. She has almost reached the point where she has exhausted her oil. She was fine yesterday, so why did she suddenly become like this?" Lu Xiyan shook her head and said.
"Xiao Lu, what are you going to do?" Kwong Zhian was really anxious. "It's okay to be a living horse, as long as you can save Xiao Shu."
"There is no good idea. Now I can only use ginseng to hang my life. Maybe I can last until the pathological test report of the stool is released." Lu Xiyan said slowly.
"Ginseng is a life-saving thing?" Kwong Zhian said tremblingly. Ginseng is not cheap. It must be used to hang life-saving thing for ginseng for more than a hundred years.
"I have one in my house, I wonder if it's time to come?" Lu Xiyan did have an old ginseng in his hand. It was left to him by his parents. It was buried in the rubble of the ruins and asked him to dig it out. It has been three hundred years and is priceless.
"Then..." Kwong Zhian's face turned red. These old ginsengs that are more than a hundred years old are all treasures. Who would be willing to take it out for others to use easily?
"Is a mountain ginseng more important than human life? Professor Kuang, I'll call now and ask my brother-in-law to drive back to get it!" Lu Xiyan said, afraid that he wouldn't be able to catch up. Two wheels are not as good as four wheels of his own.
"Thank you, Xiao Lu, I'll thank you for Xiao Shu!" Kwong Zhian said excitedly.
"Doctors are originally going to save lives and heal the wounded. This is the duty, Professor Kuang doesn't have to do this."
Lu Xiyan returned to the office and called Meng Hao from the Central Police Station and borrowed Tang Jin's car. When Tang Jin heard that it was to save people, he gave Meng Hao the car key without saying a word!
Meng Hao had the keys to his home, so he drove back directly. In less than an hour, he took back the three hundred-year-old ginseng.
It doesn’t take a whole old ginseng to save your life. Shu Yun’s body is so weak that he can’t bear too much medicine and cannot be replenished.
I took off a few thick ginseng beards and asked the pharmacy to make a bowl of ginseng soup and brought it over.
I fed Shu Yun half a bowl of ginseng soup. Although it would not be immediate, the effect was very obvious. Although the scientific community has not yet figured out the medicinal pharmacology of ginseng, the saying that ginseng has been suffocating life has been like this for thousands of years.
Whether it is Chinese medicine or Western medicine, it also varies from person to person.
Ten minutes later, Shu Yun's facial expression calmed down. It can be seen that Lao Shan Ginseng's ginseng soup had an effect on his body.
Now I can only wait for the results of the pathological test for stool.
Both blood tests and routine tests can only be determined to be "cholera", but Shu Yun's has been infected with "cholera" and is in the recovery period. There is a situation of repeated infections, but it is not so urgent and so dangerous.
"Professor Kuang, Dr. Lu, please go to the pathological testing laboratory immediately!" A young intern rushed over and informed Lu Xiyan and Kuang Zhian.
"Professor Kuang, Dr. Lu, come and see. We found a bacteria that we had never seen before in Assistant Shu's stool, which may be related to his sudden illness."
"A germs I've never seen before?" Lu Xiyan and Kwong Zhian were both shocked when they heard this.
Under the optical microscope, the two saw this type of bacteria at the same time. One was experienced and the other was knowledgeable. Neither of them had seen this type of bacteria.
"We compared the bacteria of known human stool, including the deadly bacteria known in the world, that may be eliminated through the intestines," said the test doctor.
"Have you found it?"
"There are not yet. Because there are too many, it is estimated that it will be very difficult to find the source of this bacteria. This is not a common bacteria, so it takes time and may even return without success." The test doctor said. (It may not be common for this era)
Lu Xiyan was also carefully observing these bacteria under a microscope, and the various bacteria he saw and knew kept flashing in his mind.
"Cultivate in vitro immediately, I need to know what aspects it is destructive to the human body." Lu Xiyan said.
"That Xiao Shu's treatment?"
"Professor Kuang, we must break out of the category of 'cholera' and try any similar condition. Now we can only treat the disease alive." Lu Xiyan said.
"Then which side do you want to take medicine?" Kwong Zhian nodded. He must be decisive in treating diseases and saving people. Once he misses the opportunity, he will regret it too late.
"malaria!"
"Malaria?" Kwong Zhian was stunned, and suddenly his eyebrows slightly expanded. Lu Xiyan said right. Xiao Shu's current condition is really similar to "malaria".
The special medicine for treating "malaria" is quinine, which is cinchona cream.
"I'll give a doctor's advice immediately to give Xiaoshu medicine." Kuang Zhian took the responsibility directly. Xiaoshu was his student and his assistant, and he had the responsibility to cure him.
What's more, Xiao Shu's situation has a very high risk and a mortality rate is extremely high. Although a doctor cannot cure a person who will die, it will affect his reputation if he treats him.
Especially young doctors.
"Professor Kuang, Xiao Shu's condition should not spread to the outside world, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble." Lu Xiyan reminded Kuang Zhian.
"I know, Xiao Lu, thank you for your reminder." As an old doctor, Kwong Zhian certainly understood what Lu Xiyan was worried about.
"Haozi, go to Zhendan University to pick up your sister home and tell him that I will be on duty in the hospital tonight and will not go back." Lu Xiyan was worried about Shu Yun's condition and decided to stay in the hospital for care at night.
Whether Shu Yun can survive is the key to the next few hours.
