Chapter 109 Emergency Meeting

Su Jinhui took a small notebook and prepared to write down some important things.

She ran into Chen Jun just after she left the office. When the other party saw Su Jinhui, his brows were furrowed, as if something really big had happened.

"Doctor Chen, are you also going to the meeting?"

Chen Jun nodded. "I just arrived at the office not long ago, and someone called me to a meeting. The last time we had such an urgent meeting, it seemed we encountered some difficult and complicated issues, so I'm not sure what it's about this time."

After that, the two of them didn't ask each other any more questions and hurried to the meeting room.

As soon as they arrived at the conference room, they saw the dean sitting in the main seat with a gloomy face, surrounded by some senior leaders of the hospital.

Su Jinhui had never seen such a big scene before, but usually something very serious must have happened, otherwise so many people would not be gathered together.

The dean breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Su Jinhui, "You two are here, come and sit down."

After the two were seated, the dean said to them with a straight face, "From last night to this morning, our hospital beds have been full."

After hearing this, Su Jinhui and Chen Jun looked at each other with shock on their faces.

The beds in their hospital have been empty for a long time. Unless they are patients who need to stay in the hospital for observation or whose conditions are more serious, Su Jinhui has never heard of any department's wards being full of people in all the time she has been in the hospital.

It seems that something must have happened this time.

"Why is this hospital suddenly full of people? Is it some disease?"

She asked, and the Dean nodded.

"I don't know what's going on, but everyone who comes here says they have stomachaches. We've checked their bodies and found no poisoning, gastroenteritis or other illnesses."

"And these patients who come to our hospital basically all give the same testimony: they all say their stomachs start to hurt after eating, but they don't have diarrhea, they just feel pain."

"We gave them some painkillers, which gave them some relief, but once the pain wore off, they started to feel the pain again. Our hospital is really at a loss, so we're going to have a meeting today. You and Chen Jun are both our hospital's top doctors, especially you, Su Jinhui."

"If even you can't figure out the reason, who knows how many people will die from this disease."

This was a serious matter, and both Su Jinhui and Chen Jun looked very heavy.

"I want to go see them and find a solution as soon as possible. If it's an infectious disease, it will be even more troublesome. If it's just some virus that's causing them unbearable abdominal pain, that's fine too. I need to find the right medicine as soon as possible."

"No problem. I'll leave this matter to you and Chen Jun. If you need anything, please let us know as soon as possible."

After the meeting, Su Jinhui and Chen Jun went to a random ward and saw a woman lying on the bed, holding her stomach and looking painful.

Rather than lying down, her body was actually twisting and turning. The pain made her unable to sit or stand still. She couldn't lie down or stand.

"I'm Doctor Su from the hospital. Please tell me again if there's anything wrong with your body."

She took out a stethoscope and examined the woman again, and found that there was basically no major problem.

"Last night, after dinner, I went to bed about two hours later. In the middle of the night, my stomach started to hurt. I took some common painkillers and some medicine for stomachaches. I thought I had eaten something bad, but I didn't have diarrhea."

"Not long after, my husband also had a stomachache."

"You mean your stomach hurts after you eat?"

The woman nodded. "Yes, I thought the fish might be unclean. My son doesn't like fish relatives, so he didn't touch it. But he was fine."

"I told you not to be greedy for small profits. The fish was dead, even though it had just died a while ago, but he said freshly dead fish were cheaper, so he bought it. If he had known this would happen, he should have spent a lot of money to buy a live fish. Who knows, he might not have gotten an upset stomach."

Although it was only one-sided, Su Jinhui couldn't easily draw a conclusion now. "Please hold on a little longer. I'll ask other patients. If the symptoms are true, I should have a rough idea of ​​where the pathogen is."

After leaving the ward, Chen Jun heard what Su Jinhui had just said. He couldn't help but ask, "Doctor Su, you just said you were sure you knew where the pathogen was?"

"We can't be completely conclusive right now. We need to ask more patients. If what they say is almost the same, then there must be a common denominator. Otherwise, our hospital wards would be full overnight and we still can't find the cause. It can only be a virus!"

Chen Jun admired Su Jinhui's fearlessness in the face of danger. He followed Su Jinhui to the next ward, where the symptoms of the two people were slightly alleviated.

"Doctor Su, Doctor Su is here!"

After seeing these two people, Su Jinhui was a little surprised, "Sister Wu, Brother Zhang!"

"That's right, Doctor Su. I finally got you here. The medicine prescribed by this hospital isn't working. Please come and take a look at what's going on. My stomach hurts more than when I came in!"

Su Jinhui checked their basic vital signs, but there was nothing wrong.

"When did the pain start?"

"My stomach started to hurt after I finished eating. I wondered if the food I ate last night was unhygienic."

"But I just asked other doctors, and they couldn't tell me what the cause was. Doctor Su, do you think Lao Zhang and I might have eaten something we shouldn't have?"

Su Jinhui looked up at Chen Jun and asked, "How many hours after dinner did your stomach start to hurt?"

Sister Wu thought about it carefully. "We had dinner at six o'clock last night. After dinner, I went to the dock with Lao Zhang. It was already nine o'clock when we got back. But I felt a little uncomfortable in my stomach on the way there. I thought I had diarrhea, so I hurried home."

"But my legs were numb from squatting in the pit, with no reaction at all. I thought it would heal on its own, but the pain was so severe I couldn't sleep. It was probably around 11 o'clock. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I told Lao Zhang that if it really didn't work, we should go to the hospital. And that's how it's happened."

My stomach hurts after eating. Could it be that the pathogen is really in the food?

"What did you eat yesterday? Did you have fish?"

"No, we didn't eat fish yesterday. We fried some clams and made some egg drop soup."

That's strange, since they ate different things, but they basically started to have stomachaches after eating.

"I understand. Just bear with it for a while. If you really can't stand it anymore, tell the doctor and ask for a painkiller. I'll find out the situation as soon as possible and see what's going on."

"Thank you. Just to tell you, we really have no other options now. We can only put all our hopes on you."
