"Hey, Du Wei, what are you doing here? Are you looking for treatment for a patient?

This patient was sent here this morning. A homeless man found her in a drug-taking place.

I suspected a drug overdose, but the drug test came back negative, but I still have delusional symptoms.

In addition, the patient also had twitching symptoms in his wrist.

We don’t know what the disease is yet, but Dr. Wells from the oncology department wants us to take over the case.

House agreed."

Chase, who was coming to receive the patient, said while handing over the medical records.

Seeing that Du Wei was not very willing to talk, Chase shook his head and conducted a few simple tests on the patient.

"Can you feel the pain?"

"Yes, I am a human being, why can't I feel pain?"

"Hey, what a sharp-tongued patient, come and hold my hand.

Huh? Can’t hold it? Then try raising your hand above your head.”

Upon hearing this, the patient trembled all over and tried with difficulty to raise his hands above his head. However, when he raised his hands to his shoulders, the strength of his hands suddenly relaxed and his arms hung down weakly.

Then the whole body went into convulsions.

Chase noticed this immediately:

"She's having a seizure. Get some Valium."

Taking the diazepam from Du Wei, Chase injected the diazepam and said:

"Test her blood sugar."

Du Wei took the blood glucose monitor and pressed it on the patient's finger skillfully:

"Blood sugar 38."

"50% glucose, intravenous injection, immediately!"

After a short period of rescue, the patient's condition finally stabilized and he gradually regained consciousness.

Chase wiped the sweat from his head and smiled helplessly at Du Wei:

"Looks like another tough case."

But Chase still didn't get a reply from Du Wei. He felt something was wrong and said with some doubts:

"What's going on? Why are you in such a low mood today? Is it because of Peter?

I heard that he has been targeting you, so it is a good thing for you that he is gone."

Du Wei let out a long sigh and motioned Chase with his eyes to come outside and talk.

After Chase closed the ward door, Du Wei said in a complicated tone:

"I think I know what's wrong with her."

Chase raised his eyebrows, knowing that the patient should be happy about his symptoms, but Du Wei didn't act like he was happy.

"kindness?"

Du Wei added in a serious tone:

"Rabies, already active rabies."

"What?!"

Chase's sudden increase in voice caused people nearby to look sideways, and Chase realized that he had just lost his composure.

He lowered his voice and whispered:

"This is not nonsense. If rabies has already occurred, the fatality rate can be said to be 100%.

In the past twenty years, there have been no more than ten such cases."

To be honest, Du Wei didn't want to either. He came here to save people, not to sentence them to death.

But according to current medical conditions, rabies is an incurable disease!

In other words, no matter how hard they try, the patient lying inside will die within 3-6 days.

"Did you notice those bruises on her body?

From my experience, it looks like a bat bite mark.

You also said that she is a homeless vagabond.

If people who have homes are bitten by animals, they will go to the hospital to get rabies vaccination.

Homeless people are unaware of this, and without relatives to care for them, they cannot receive any medical assistance.

Let's take her saliva for testing and we'll know the results soon."

After listening to Du Wei's words, Chase also fell silent.

No matter when, it is not easy to face the death of a patient calmly.

But what needs to be done still needs to be done.

Chase followed the instructions and used a cotton swab to take the patient's oral saliva and brought it back to the laboratory.

Then he watched Cameron's operation nervously, expecting something to go wrong.

After hearing this, House came here quickly. He glanced at Cameron who was doing the operation and asked Duwei:

"How sure are you?"

"Eight or nine, in addition to the bite marks on her body, she is also very sensitive to light sources, and her pharyngeal muscles will spasm when she hears the sound of water.

Moreover, when I checked the case just now, I found that she was still talking nonsense, and she was obviously hallucinating.

Considering that homeless people like to live in dark places, it is likely that there are bats.

And bats are one of the vectors of rabies."

House nodded in agreement with Dewey's reasoning.

Then he limped over to Cameron and looked at the computer monitor.

I saw that the peaks of the spectrum output by the detector were quickly matched.

Absolutely rabies.

Looking at the final confirmation results, Chase also understood the reason why Du Wei was depressed.

For a trainee doctor, the psychological pressure of learning to give up on a patient is too much.

But it stands to reason that Du Wei should be used to seeing life and death on the battlefield.

No matter what, Chase patted Duwei on the shoulder and comforted:

"This is not your fault. As long as there is a chance of cure, we will definitely try to save her."

House also sighed, and then said:

"Isolate her alone, close the curtains to avoid external light and sound irritation.

Put a restraint on her to prevent her from violently injuring others.

Try treatment with alpha interferon, vidarabine, and high-dose human antirabies immune globulin.

At this point, we can only do our best and listen to fate."

After finishing speaking, House shook his head and left here.

Even if he is House, there is nothing he can do about rabies.

There was also a depressing atmosphere in the laboratory.

Du Wei's face was filled with sadness. Today's patient was suffering from rabies, so his life today would be in vain.

Just when Du Wei wanted to go to the emergency room to see if there was any chance of admitting another patient, a nurse suddenly sent a notice from Dean Cady.

Dean Cady asked all doctors who were free to go to the conference room.

Du Wei realized that something unusual had happened, otherwise he would not have suddenly summoned all available doctors to the conference room.

On the way to the conference room, Chase quietly approached Duwei and talked about the gossip he had heard.

"I heard that the hospital had received a very large donation from an individual, and Cady decided to make him chairman.

I don’t know if the new chairman is easy to talk to.”

Du Wei's expression changed slightly when he heard the news, and he instantly understood what had happened.

Simply put, this hospital has been eroded by capitalism.

"Hey, capitalism is all about profit, do you think he will be easy to talk to?

Salaries, benefits, and benefits are bound to be cut, and there may even be layoffs.

If Dean Cady really did this, I can only say that she is a little short-sighted.
