Five hundred and seventieth chapters hospital ship
"What is Anaya doing? Met his friend? This doesn't look like a refueling ship?" Fatty Bu stuck his head out from the second floor while putting on his clothes, staring at the ship opposite.
In the Amazon Basin, there is a tugboat-like vessel on some rivers, which pulls a large iron can and is parked in the middle of the river. Those cans are filled with diesel or gasoline to provide refueling services for passing ships, just like highways.
The service area on the road can not only refuel, but also sell some daily necessities. However, this ship is obviously not a refueling ship, but more like a passenger ship.
"I think it's a hospital ship, right? Look, there are three flags hanging on the bow. Is one of them a red cross flag?" Sturgeon is the full-time photographer among the three. He is a photography enthusiast. When he was in China
He likes taking photos and photography, so this time he came out and used all the photographic equipment. At this time, he was holding the camera and using the focal length of the machine as a telescope.
"Yes, it's a red cross flag. It should be a hospital ship. Ananya probably wants us to go to the ship for medical treatment." Hong Tao took the camera and looked at it. As expected, in addition to the Brazilian flag and the Amazon state flag, the ship had
There is also a red cross flag hanging.
"Anaya, is that a hospital ship?" Although the three people made their own judgments, they were still uneasy and ran down from the second deck to ask Ananya in the cockpit.
"Yes, this is a hospital ship of the Marine Corps. They are all military doctors. They are much better than the doctors in Manaus. Moreover, they only charge for medicine, not for medical treatment. There is no need to queue up. You are in luck. They estimate
We are going upriver, just in time for them to show you." Anaya said while sounding the ship's whistle to send a signal to the hospital ship on the opposite side.
I don’t know what signal the two ships relied on to communicate. Anyway, after hearing Anaya’s whistle, the ship began to slow down slowly. Then it slightly left the main channel. Ananya’s boat crossed diagonally.
After crossing the river, we approached the big ship, and finally, with the help of the ship's staff, we stuck to the stern of the big ship.
While Anaya was tying the cable, she was talking in Portuguese to the people on the opposite boat, and from time to time she pointed at Hong Tao and the other three people standing next to them. Two men in uniforms quickly came out of the cabin on the opposite boat and asked again.
After saying a few words to Ananya, he waved to Hong Tao and others to go over.
"You go there in a speedboat, and I will follow you in a boat. They want to go upstream, so they can't stop the boat." Anaya told Hong Tao and the others about the situation.
"Can they speak English?" Hong Tao was not worried about driving the speedboat over. He was worried about the language barrier.
"Those military doctors can speak English. They are very kind. They are not the police, they are the army, so you don't have to worry about anything else." Anaya specifically emphasized the police and the army. It seems that in their case, the soldiers are much more reliable than the police.
.
A few minutes later, Hong Tao drove the speedboat slowly onto the big ship and threw the cable aboard. The staff on the medical ship tied it up, and the three of them climbed up the ladder on the side of the ship.
The cabin of this ship has been divided into several separate cabins. There were several female soldiers in military uniforms in the aisle. When they saw Hong Tao and the three of them, they smiled friendly and said hello in English or Portuguese.
.
The person who received the three people from Hong Tao was a male military doctor in his 40s. He briefly looked at the passports of the three people, and then asked a female soldier to take the three people to a cabin. The furnishings here are very simple.
There are two single beds and a small table. It doesn't look like a consulting room, but it has a good smell. As soon as you enter, you can feel the atmosphere of a hospital.
The military doctor's name was Silva. He was a white man with gold-rimmed eyes. After entering the room, he asked Hong Tao and Fatty Bu, who were walking in front, to take off their shirts and sit on the bed. Then he approached them and carefully
I looked at the little red spots on their bodies and asked some questions in English about whether they had stomachaches, diarrhea, what they had eaten recently, what animals they had been in contact with, whether they had been bitten, whether they swam in natural waters, and whether
Problems such as fever.
"Have you been to the upper reaches of the Branco River? Have you been bitten by mosquitoes? Have you swam there?" After Hong Tao finished answering the questions about himself and Fatty Bu, the military doctor did not say anything about his condition, but asked
The storm started and their night fishing experience of the previous two days was recalled.
"I've been bitten by mosquitoes, but it's no use just standing in the water for a while. It's only so deep when we go into the water with our clothes on." Hong Tao confused him and used his hands to indicate the depth of the water at that time.
"Where are these little red spots?" the military doctor asked again.
"Yes, it happened that night. It was very rare at the time. We thought it was a mosquito bite. Is there any problem? Doctor?" Hong Tao was a little anxious. According to the theory, if it is eczema, you should apply medicine and take medicine. No need.
It takes so much talking.
"That's right... there is a kind of catfish larvae in the Branco River. They are very small and poisonous. They will burrow into the bodies of animals and then feed on the internal organs of these animals, including us humans of course.
There have been three cases of this disease this year, one of which has died.
In the first week after they enter the human body, due to the toxins in their bodies, some red bumps will appear on the skin of the host, which is very similar to eczema, so I want to do some comprehensive examinations for you. You don't object, right?" The military doctor asked.
He adjusted his glasses and started talking, speaking slowly and calmly.
"Ah! Parasite? Oh, no, it's a parasitic fish?" Hong Tao was completely dumbfounded by what Silva said. He had heard of parasites and bought highly effective insecticides from the United States. He sprayed them every two days.
He can eat a piece, but he has never heard of this parasitic fish. If he knew that there was such a thing, he would not go into the water to kill him!
"We're not sure yet, so we need to check it out. I suggest you check it out, it's safer." The military doctor remained calm, as if he was not a human being in front of him, but an animal in a laboratory.
"Check, must check! Just check on the ship or go to a hospital in a big city?" Although Hong Tao didn't believe the military doctor, he didn't have the guts to ignore the doctor's advice. If it was parasites, he would just go back to China for a check-up, but
This kind of parasitic fish actually eats human internal organs. You can't delay this thing. If the check is late, you will lose one of your internal organs in a few days and you will still be alive!
"It's fine on the ship, but the conditions here are relatively simple and we can only check one person at a time. I asked the nurse to take one person to check first." The military doctor called a female soldier and asked Fatty Bu away first. Hong Tao did not dare to talk to him.
Fatty Bu explained the situation, fearing that he wouldn't be able to bear the excitement.
"If it's a parasitic fish, will it be difficult to treat?" Hong Tao asked the military doctor again after the fat man followed the female soldier out happily.
"It needs a minor operation. It's not troublesome. It's not a serious illness. As long as it is discovered in time, it will be fine. Why did you go to the upper reaches of the Branco River? As far as I know, tourists rarely go there. There is nothing there.
Huh?" The military doctor didn't seem to take this parasitic fish seriously, but started chatting with Hong Tao.
"We went fishing, Satan duckbill." Hong Tao answered the military doctor's question truthfully.
"Oh! Did you catch the Satan platyfish?" The military doctor seemed to be very interested in this fish.
"We caught some small ones and one big one. The reason why we went into the water was to push the fish back into the river. It was stranded and couldn't be pulled." Hong Tao regretted his original decision.
The fish should be left to die there, or just tied to a big boat and dragged.
"Is it really that big? Bragging to a doctor is not a good choice. I also like fishing, but I have never caught such a big fish." The Silva military doctor shook his finger and specifically warned Hong Tao to persuade him.
Don't talk nonsense to yourself.
"Sturgeon, give him the camera and let him see for himself!" Hong Tao had no time to think about fishing at this time. When he thought of a small catfish swimming in his body, he felt a little pain everywhere in his body.
"Oh, Holy Mother! It's true! Silas! Silas!" Military doctor Silva looked gentle and quiet, but his voice was 100% baritone. When he saw Hong Tao and the others in the video
After catching the Satanic duckbill, he pulled his neck out and screamed out the door. The sound not only echoed throughout the boat, but also seemed to echo on the river.
"Holy shit! This doctor is sick! What is he going to do?" Sturgeon couldn't understand the Brazilian doctor's English. They spoke English just like Italians, speaking very fast and omitting many syllables.
"It's okay. He was calling his colleague. He said he also likes fishing." Hong Tao also surprised him. Fortunately, he could roughly understand Silva's English. When he was at Baggio's house in Italy,
Hong Tao has become accustomed to the taste of Latin-speaking people speaking English.
A gray-haired old military doctor quickly ran in outside the door. Unlike Silva, he was also wearing a white coat, which made him look much more reliable. He didn't want Silva to be like those female soldiers.
, if you put a red cross sign on your arm, you can dare to say that you are a doctor or nurse.
"Is this what you fished for? I know this boat. It's the boat of the Grand River Hotel. Anaya took you there?" After the old military doctor entered the door, he was called over by Silva. The two of them tied their heads together and looked at each other.
After watching the playback on the camera for a few minutes, the old military doctor pointed at the camera and asked Hong Tao.
"Yeah, just in the early hours of yesterday... we released it, and it was alive..." Although Hong Tao is not afraid of people wearing official clothes, he was in China, and now he is in a foreign land.
There are two men in military uniforms standing there. Even though they are doctors, they are still soldiers. (To be continued...)
