It's not that he dislikes it, but he wants to stay away from the source of infectious diseases as much as possible to avoid getting pathogens on the patient or the patient's family members. After all, he doesn't have disposable sterilizing gel now, so he can rub it wherever he goes.
Mrs. Beland was immediately lifted up and taken to the ward. Grete watched her go away, and then looked at the door of the hospital. The patients were being brought in in a steady stream, and he felt the pressure on his shoulders was like a mountain.
He has never shouldered this kind of pressure.
In his previous life, he was just the deputy chief physician of the emergency department. When he discovered a suspected severe infectious disease, he reported it to the director, dean, and CDC according to regulations, and the appropriate people would naturally deal with it.
Besides, he is an emergency surgeon, surgery! The first batch of colleagues who deal with infectious diseases are basically internal medicine... Even when he is needed to go into battle, he is surrounded by doctors from internal medicine to provide consultation, laboratory and ultrasound.
Department, doctors from the imaging department give reports, and doctors from the anesthesiology department monitor the patient's vital signs...
If the power is not enough, there are other hospitals in the city. In case of a major disaster, there are also medical staff in the province and all over the country. If one side is in trouble, support from all sides will be provided!
Even in Heartland City, he had teachers, a bald bishop, and many teachers and friends to rely on. But now, he is standing at the forefront facing this plague, facing countless diseases, pain and death!
He is the head of the Department of Public Health and the first director of the Infectious Disease Hospital. It is him who everyone is watching and waiting for.
Gretel's feeling now is like standing alone in the middle of the Qiantang River, facing the surging tide. The tide is turbulent and turbulent. At first it was just a thin line, and gradually it converged inward along the mouth of the bell, and the waves became higher and higher.
, like a galloping horse, like a giant elephant, when it came to him, it was already roaring and rolled down on its head, almost drowning him:
"Patient No. 43 on the 1st floor has severe abdominal pain and is about to faint!"
"Patient No. 57 on the 1st floor has abdominal pain, bloating, and a very bulging belly. He has rolled out of bed three times!"
"Patient No. 17 on the second floor vomited blood!"
"Three more patients have fainted! The treatment power is not enough!"
"Sir, do you want to go to the medical branch to ask for help?"
"gentlemen……"
"gentlemen……"
I have to hold on, I can't panic... Gretel silently encouraged himself. Calm down, calm down. The core of the problem now is, what kind of disease is this?
Abdominal pain and diarrhea are most likely intestinal infectious diseases. However, they are combined with abdominal distension and constipation... Typhoid or paratyphoid? Bacillary dysentery? Bacterial food poisoning? Cholera? Paracholera? Bacterial infectious diarrhea? Viral enteritis?
Grete filtered them one by one in his heart. He no longer looked at the endless stream of patients at the entrance of the hall, turned around and ran to the ward. While walking quickly, he asked:
"Are there any results from the sampling test? Have the patient's stool microscopy results come out? Where are the bacterial culture results? - Let them hurry up! Speed up!"
After saying that, he had already rushed into the first ward. Before that, he had been in the map room, or it could be regarded as the command center of the infectious disease hospital, checking the sources of all cases: most of them were in the 12 buildings of the noble, and a few
Those who are sick outside are also residents in the building. Are there any new patients around the patients who are sick outside? Should we follow the trajectory of the patients and isolate them?
Grete is still unclear about this. All he can do for the time being is to ask the Mage Tower to speed up the production of disinfectant and disinfect it, and at the same time place an urgent order to the Thunder Tower. As for determining what the disease is, the test results can only provide a partial reference. , after all, their culture microscopy method is very crude, and many reagents are not available.
The other part of the key information comes from examination of the patient.
He did the physical examination himself! These students were not professional medical students. He did the physical examination himself and could see more than the students!
Gretel quickly walked into the ward. The first few rooms on the first floor were filled with patients who had been treated by various temples. They were now cured or in some relief and were lying on the bed to rest. Gretel directly skipped these rooms.
I walked to Ward 4 in one breath.
The ward was in a state of chaos. The hospital was short of manpower and could not help every patient go to the toilet, so they had to put a tub or bucket beside each patient's bed and let them draw the curtains to relieve themselves. Gretel had one bed and one bed.
Looking over:
Watery stool, watery stool, black stool, blood in the stool... This is nothing, constipation, bloating, this is also bloating, this is bloating, abdominal pain...
"How do you feel? Stomach pain? Where does it hurt? Lie down and let me check for you..."
The middle-aged woman curled up on the bed was already a little dying. Gretel pressed his hand on her, and she just hummed weakly. Gretel pressed his hand hard, continued to press down, and then quickly let go. The middle-aged woman struggled in pain.
After a moment - tenderness and rebound tenderness. Fortunately, it was not a slab-shaped abdomen and there were no obvious signs of peritonitis.
Grete comforted her and continued to read the next one. This one had abdominal pain, bloating, and moderate fever. Grete asked about it. Not only was she constipated, but she didn't even fart...
Stop flatulence? Grete took out the [Endless Ink Pen] and quickly made a magic X-ray for the patient. In the meditation environment, you can see the fluid level, the abdominal fat line is blurred, the ascending colon is inflated and expanded, and there is free air under the diaphragm. Yes
I have signs of peritonitis, but they are not serious. It looks like acute intestinal obstruction, but I feel like something is wrong...
"Grete, what's going on now?" Pastor Matthew hurried over. After sending the patients, he kept busy in the ward, treating one after another, and did not stop until the last two rounds of treatment were left. He was more than
Grete is older and has rich experience. He had been thinking about it on the way to send the patient. Now he saw Grete and asked casually:
"What kind of sickness is this?"
"Yeah, what kind of disease is it?" A bishop from the Temple of the God of War also asked. Gretel couldn't help but laugh when he raised his head. The person who came was the one who watched him write the medical records that night and made him talk about the medical records. He
He nodded and said hello:
"Bishop Sullivan!"
"Yeah, yeah." Bishop Sullivan nodded casually: "What disease do you think this is? Cholera?"
"It's not cholera." Grete replied quickly: "There is constipation, abdominal distension, black stool, and no rice swill. Cholera should be ruled out... Let me think about it..."
"What about typhoid fever?" Another priest from the Spring Temple also spoke up. Grete continued to shake his head:
"Unlike...the incubation period of typhoid fever, oh, it is the period of time before a person becomes sick after being infected. It will be relatively long. Patients are usually brought in one after another, some are mild and some are severe. Like now, starting from
The disease is very urgent, and a large number of patients are sent within a few hours, which cannot be done with typhoid fever..."
"Is that food poisoning?" Another loud voice interrupted. Gretel raised his head and quickly saluted:
"Archmage Tolga!"
"Don't waste time!" Archmage Tolga waved his hand. He then turned to the ward and quickly cast two spells. The white light shone and the patient's pain on the bed was immediately relieved and he could half sit up. Master Tolga asked seriously.
:
"Are there enough people now? Do you want me to call more people? - By the way, what's going on with these people? Are they all hungry? The water source is polluted?"
"We are also considering that the water source is contaminated." Grete replied respectfully: "But the main characteristics of gastrointestinal food poisoning are nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, excluding constipation and bloating. At the same time, constipation and bloating will occur. What kind of food poisoning is it?
Disease, I am still continuing to investigate."
"Then is the water source contaminated?"
"The water supply is also being tested. But master, the pollution of the water source is just a symptom. What kind of thing has polluted the water source and how to treat it in a targeted manner. We are still looking for the cause. Call more people - of course it is good, but, no
To find out the reason, just calling people may not be enough!"
"Not enough?" Archmage Tolga raised his eyebrows. "Do you know how many people in the medical branch are here?"
"I……"
All I know is that in the worst case scenario, half of the 500,000 people in Nevis could be infected!
Gretel lowered his head and did not reply. But in the corridor, a series of footsteps were approaching in a hurry:
"Sir, the number of patients now exceeds 200!"
"People in the quarantine area are getting sick one after another!"
"Another 15 patients are in critical condition! Urgent treatment is needed!"
"There are still patients coming in all the time..."
"Abnormal bacteria were detected in the tap water of 10 patients' homes! Bacterial culture and experiments are being done!"
"Sir, do you want to test the pipes in the entire building?"
Grete lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then slowly raised his head. "Those 12 buildings - how many families are there in those 12 buildings? How many people live there?"
Archmage Tolga also followed his gaze. In front of Gretel, the young man running over with a notebook in his arms was panting and sweating profusely. He lowered his head and flipped through two pages of the notebook, moved his lips slightly, and quickly gave
Answer:
"There are about 900 to 1,200 households, and the total number of residents is 3,600 to 6,000."
There were as few as 3,600 people and as many as 6,000 people. Gretel turned to Archmage Tolga:
"Even if we don't count the spread of the plague, we still have to be prepared for 1,000 to 3,000 people to get sick within a day or two. Will the three religious groups, plus the medical branch, have enough treatment power?"
Archmage Tolga immediately became silent. When he walked in just now, he took a quick look, and everything he saw was serious. The Magic Council once estimated that for plagues like the Black Death, the Magic Council could treat up to 500 people a day. And the remaining
500, 2,500, and more patients after the plague spreads...
"Then what are you going to do? Can your infectious disease hospital handle it?"
He asked with concern. Gretel bowed deeply:
"Your Excellency, Archmage, please try to invite as many colleagues from the medical branch as possible. As for the others - please give me some time. I will go to the laboratory to see if I can find out the culprit of this plague!"
Gretel turned around and excused himself, and hurried to the laboratory. He put on protective clothing, passed through the airlock, and entered the red zone. As soon as he entered the room, he heard several students wearing heavy epidemic medical uniforms and still thinking about arguing:
"What you did was wrong!"
"What you did is wrong! Why did it change after training!"
"Your hand must have slipped!"
Gretel: "...What's going on?"
****
Guess what disease it is?
