Chapter 96 African Diseases (Updated 1/1 on June 21)

To be fair, Felipe did not do anything wrong. He just mistakenly purchased a batch of communication equipment that should have been eliminated. Felipe's own motivation may be to make greater profits, but objectively speaking, he really intends to seek some benefits for his compatriots.

Sun Lien felt that the Politanvian who loved meat buns in front of him was at least a respectable person.

"Wear the mask and goggles. Without my permission, don't touch the patient directly - it's best not to touch the table." Seeing that the first batch of patients and the families of patients had completed the safety inspection and began to line up to enter the camp. Sun Lien quickly instructed, "You only need an interpreter, remember to wear the mask."

In the regular report of the World Health Organization's African epidemic, the Ebola epidemic and polio epidemics in several countries near Politanvia have not yet ended. And there are relatively large-scale infectious diseases such as measles being epidemic. All members of the medical team before going abroad have been vaccinated. They still need to be careful to protect themselves, not to mention Felipe, who is a local person - he is very likely to have almost never received the vaccine.

Many vaccines are not effective for life. Because of different personal constitutions and different specific conditions, the effective period of most vaccines for epidemic prevention basically ranges from several months to several years. Only some special vaccines can achieve the effect of lifelong immunity.

The members of the medical team who had just received the vaccine before going abroad have strong resistance, but it is difficult for local workers to say that. Therefore, the Seventh Bureau specially planned a treatment and diversion area for the medical team, and therefore specifically warned local workers not to wander around if they are fine.

Felipe probably understood what Sun Lien meant. He looked at Sun Lien with some gratitude, and then took out the N95 mask, goggles and rubber gloves that had not been opened. The temperature in Politanvia in December is not low, and the power of the morning sun is not weaker than that of Ningyuan's early summer. Of course, it is uncomfortable to be fully armed, even if there are frozen ice in the camp cold storage side, a sunshade above the head, and a high-power industrial fan blowing behind the ice.

But this is better than being infected by the patients who came to ask for help. Felipe had seen Ebola. Those who vomited blood could even vomit fragments of his organs, and finally liquefied the muscles in his body. His compatriots who died in extreme pain made him extremely scared.

As long as you don’t get infected, just focus on hot topics.

Soon, the first batch of patients were guided at Sun Lien's desk. Although they lined up, the shape of the team was really a bit crooked. Among this group of people, some were the patients themselves asking for help, while others were dispatched together by the whole family. This was not much different from the patients in the fourth hospital.

"This patient..." Felipe listened very professionally to what his compatriots said, while translating to Sun Lien, "He said that his back hurts very much at night..."

"Stones, go to the surgery." Sun Lien quickly wrote two strokes on the paper. He was not sure if the medical team had any equipment for external gravel, but he guessed that it was not - the size of the external gravel machine is similar to the treatment bed of the Haifu Knife, which is several hundred kilograms or even more than one ton. It is very difficult to deliver it from China. Surgeons can probably try to hear a urethrascope picking stones for him?

"The second patient... he is a farmer. He said that his foot had a hole last month..." Felipe continued to translate, but only halfway through his words, Sun Lien interrupted him. "Diabetic foot, go to the surgery department to see if it can be debride and suture. If it doesn't work, it may be amputated - and then you have to cooperate with internal medicine treatment."

Felipe widened his eyes, "Want to amputate?"

"After one month of breaking down, there may be gangrene." Sun Lien sighed. The dietary structure of African people is very unhealthy. Especially these farmers who grow their own fruits lack stable channels for starch and protein intake. They often eat a large amount of fruits they grow. Due to the sufficient sunshine in Africa, local fruits and melons are very high in sugar. Under this diet, type 2 diabetes is indeed prone to occur.

This disease occurs in Politanvians...the consequences are much more serious than in China. If sugar intake is restricted, patients may not be able to fill their stomachs at all. If sugar intake is not restricted, they will develop severe hyperglycemia and may even develop into hyperkalemia and diabetic foot. In short, in Politanvia, diabetes is a real "incurable disease".

The consequences of amputation are very terrible for farmers, but if they do not have amputation, gangrene can kill him.

Felipe finished the translation for the bitter-looking farmer, and then sighed as he looked at the other party's back limping away, but after sighing, he couldn't say a word.

"Next." Sun Lien shook his head and continued to record the patient's situation. He planned to do a statistics to see that the epidemiological surveys of various diseases in Africa were almost blank. Of course, the records he had at hand were only a small sample, but at least they could record them to provide important data for future researchers.

These epidemiological survey data may make some contribution to the subsequent development of Politanvia medical science.

The patients who came later were considered common local diseases in Africa. Two highly suspected pneumoconiosis patients engaged in quarry and sand digging, one with cornea shedding and seven with sinusitis. Sun Lien even discovered two human skin flies patients.

Human skin flies are both a disease and an insect name. Human skin flies from the family Dipterae will lay eggs on human clothing or bedding. After one to three days, the eggs hatch into larvae. The larvae of human skin flies are highly sensitive to human body temperature. They will do everything possible to drill into human skin, then gently bite a mouthpiece with their mouthparts, and then drill into them by themselves.

The two patients Sun Lien encountered were probably human skin flies rather than human tumor flies. There was a dot-like bulge on their arms that would slowly rise and fall. The black skin was not easy to see redness and swelling, but the status bar still played its role stably - it directly wrote the five words "human skin flies infection" on the heads of these two patients.

After seeing the first batch of patients, Sun Lien leaned back a little tired. For the first time, he felt that he was indeed in Africa. Apart from stones, diabetic foot and sinusitis, they were all symptoms he had never seen before. Especially the human skin flies - although I heard that there are occasional diseases in pastoral areas in China, and there are even dipteran insects parasitized in the patient's digestive tract, but after all, I just heard that where can I compare with what I saw with my own eyes?

Sun Lien showed his power with the help of the status bar, while Felipe behind him seemed a little confused and disappointed. Before the next wave of patients completed the security check and entered the camp, he decided to ask a question first, "Chinese doctors are like you... so..." He thought for a long time before he came up with a relatively suitable word, "So powerful?"

"There are too many doctors who are better than me." Sun Lien was completely unpolite. He said seriously, "I am just a doctor who has just obtained the qualification certificate for practicing physicians. I don't even have a junior professional title. I can only be regarded as the lowest level in the doctor system."

Sun Lien is currently only a standardized training resident doctor. Only after he completes three years of regular training and completes the training examination can he be considered as a junior title of "resident doctor". As for doctors who are "better than himself", there are more doctors. In terms of intubation and cardiovascular accidents, Sun Lien believes that he is far inferior to Cao Yanhua. In terms of gods, he is about a dozen streets worse than Xu Yourong. He is not as good as Bruen in critical and severe cases, and he is not as good as Pascal in immunology, and he is not as good as Zhou Ce and Dr. Cao Xin and Dr. Cao Xin... He is completely unpolite. Sun Lien does not think he is not a particularly powerful doctor.

Anyway, many people say the same - an emergency physician who cannot undergo surgery...who is also considered a doctor?

Felipe sighed and said with some sorrow, "We... still have a lot of lessons to make up."
