Chapter 563 Meeting an acquaintance
Chapter 563 Meeting an acquaintance
All people in the same environment fall ill at the same time, and their symptoms are basically the same. From Ye Shu's perspective, there are two considerations: infectious disease or poisoning.
If it is poisoning, then the situation is easy to deal with. Just accurately check which element is causing the poisoning and then provide targeted treatment.
But if it is an infectious disease, then the problem is serious.
Not only these ten people, but also the team led by Lao Peng who brought them back are also very likely to be infected. At the same time, they will come into contact with soldiers in the camp, further increasing the risk of infection.
To put it simply, the young soldier who just went to the family area to report the news went to the family area after contacting Lao Peng's team. Did he talk to anyone else during this period?
At this moment, Ye Shu was in a heavy mood.
We can only hope it's a false alarm.
Xiao Jin quickly brought a mask to Xiao Hu and brought back good news.
The team brought back by Lao Peng is still gathered outside the camp and has not yet disbanded and returned to their dormitories.
It's a blessing.
This was also due to the rules that Huo Yisheng had set in the past: anyone returning to the camp after leaving the wilderness, whether it was people, vehicles, livestock, or the items brought back, had to undergo careful inspection.
To prevent someone from maliciously sending something hidden in it.
Because of the special nature of the camp team, everyone has to be extra careful, even if the process is very cumbersome.
Xiao Jin: "I have already informed Political Commissar Lin and the others as requested by Doctor Ye, and they said they will fully cooperate!"
Uncle Ye: "Well, take out the masks and distribute them, and register them."
There are a lot of masks in the infirmary because there was an epidemic last year.
A lot of masks were made at that time. After cleaning, disinfection and long-term exposure to the sun, these masks have been kept very clean and are well stored in boxes in the infirmary.
Xiao Jin went out to make arrangements immediately.
Ye Shu quickly wrote out another prescription and prepared to hand it to another medical soldier, who hurried to boil the medicine. The boiled medicine juice was used to disinfect the environment.
Because nowadays, in order to keep warm, indoor spaces are all enclosed and the indoor temperature is also high. This kind of environment is the favorite fermentation breeding ground for various bacteria and viruses.
But before she could open her mouth, someone tugged at her sleeve.
Ye Shu turned around and saw Yaya, her face serious and her chest heaving, looking very excited: "Auntie Ye, let me go!"
Ye Shu admitted that when she was assigning work, she had never thought about a little girl like Yaya.
But she also had to admit that Yaya was indeed very talented in traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese herbal medicine.
The Chinese medicinal herbs in the camp were collected by her and Mr. Huang. Some were picked from the mountains, but more were obtained by Huo Yisheng through application.
But she was still very young, and had only been studying with Master Huang for less than a year, but she had already recognized all the medicinal herbs in the camp.
When Zong Hui and Mr. Huang were making the potion, she was helping them.
Ye Shu thought about this, but he didn't agree immediately. Instead, he asked, "Take a look at these herbs first. Are you sure you know them all?"
Yaya took the list and looked at it carefully, then nodded solemnly: "I know them all! I will definitely make the medicine!"
Ye Shu patted her thin shoulders gently and agreed: "Okay, go ahead. Wear a mask. Don't go anywhere except the infirmary and don't contact anyone."
Just when the young soldier came to report the news, Yaya heard the noise and followed Ye Shu here.
Recently, she has been following her and Zong Hui, studying diligently, seriously and quietly.
If Ye Shu had known there was an infectious disease here, he would not have let her come with him.
Ye Shu arranged things one by one, and then started to examine with Zong Hui.
Zong Hui quickly drew everyone's blood and said, "I'll go do the tests."
Ye Shu stayed behind to provide superficial treatment to these ten people, including intravenous drips, injections, and medication.
These people were suffering from vomiting and diarrhea, and had not eaten anything along the way. Some of them even vomited after drinking water. It was easy for them to become exhausted and dehydrated in such a situation. Moreover, it was very cold now, so they had to be replenished with energy in time.
Ye Shu had just finished giving everyone intravenous drips when Xiao Jin came over to report, "Someone in the returning team has also started to have a fever!"
Ye Shu's pupils trembled: "How many people?"
Xiao Jin: “Two!”
Ye Shu: "Immediately arrange for it to be next door!"
Xiao Jin turned around to make arrangements when Political Commissar Lin's voice was heard outside.
Ye Shu opened the curtain and went out. Political Commissar Lin asked directly, "Is it really an infectious disease?"
Ye Shu: "Based on the current clinical response, the probability of an infectious disease is very high, but whether it is, and what specific infectious disease it is, will have to wait for Zong Hui's test results to confirm."
After hearing her say this, Political Commissar Lin understood what was going on.
His expression was not very good, and he turned around and gave the order: "Have all the soldiers wear masks and come over to build the igloo!"
If it is really an infectious disease, they need to be placed in an isolation ward. It is so cold, we can't let them sleep outside in the freezing weather!
Even if it is not an infectious disease, if someone is sick with a fever, they must be isolated for safety reasons.
Ye Shu agreed with this arrangement.
After waiting for nearly another hour, Zong Hui's results came out: "It is indeed an infectious disease!"
Ye Shu, Political Commissar Lin, and the others all gasped, and a thought suddenly popped up in their minds: "Another tough battle!"
Zong Hui didn't look particularly nervous. "It's okay," he said. "Although this disease is dangerous, it's not highly contagious. The cure rate is very high, and I can create a special medicine."
Political Commissar Lin: "All ten of us have been infected. This means it's almost 100% contagious. Furthermore, two of our team have also fallen ill. How can you say it's not highly contagious?"
Zong Hui: "This is probably related to their diet or lifestyle habits. The main route of transmission is saliva droplets and so on. They came all the way here, and they may have eaten and slept together to keep warm or for other reasons, so they were all infected."
"But the vitality of this virus is not very strong. Low temperatures have an inhibitory and killing effect on it. The virus loses half its activity after being exposed to cold air for one hour."
Ye Shu breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay as long as it's not serious. Let's treat it first. How long will your special medicine take?"
Zong Hui: "We can get it out before dawn."
So everyone divided the work and cooperated with each other. The soldiers built ice houses as usual, but instead of building ten originally, they now only needed to build five.
Ye Shu returned to the temporary ward and continued to observe the conditions of the ten people and write medical records.
The situation was urgent and she acted in a hurry, so she didn't carefully look at the appearance, age and gender of the ten people.
Now that she looked carefully, she actually found a familiar face?!
