On the tenth day of the apocalypse, Su Keke was forcibly driven out of her home by her adoptive parents and sister. The reason was to reduce one person's consumption of supplies, even though Su...
The building where the VIP room is located is a bit far from the outpatient building and the general inpatient building.
Su Keke and the others followed Director Chen for about ten minutes before they arrived at a building marked with VIP room.
At the front desk on the first floor, a nurse in protective clothing came to the door to greet Director Chen and his men as soon as she saw them coming. The person who could afford to stay in the ward here must be either rich or noble.
"Xiao Jiao! Check them in. Pay the points first and then take them to the general ward to pick up the patients and check them in."
"Okay! Director Chen!" The young nurse's voice sounded sweet and she looked about the same age as Su Keke.
After Director Chen brought Su Keke and others over and handed them over to the young nurse, he left.
He really had something to go out for, but when he got to the door he was delayed because of this matter.
There are 20 VIP wards in this building, all on the fifth floor. Ten of them are single-bed suites on one side, and ten are double-bed suites on the other side.
Each suite is equipped with a kitchen, bathroom and nursing room.
"A one-bed suite costs 2,000 points per week, and a two-bed suite costs 1,500 points per week. Which one would you like to stay in?"
Nurse Xiaojiao asked after introducing the basic configuration of the VIP ward.
After Su Keke and the other three got together to discuss, they decided to let Shi Huan and Lu Mei stay together in a double bed suite.
If two people live together, there will be someone to take care of them, and the points will be reduced by 500. If Chen Li and Meng Yi go to work, Uncle Chen will come to take care of them without running back and forth between the two wards.
Chen Li and Meng Yi each paid half of the points, and the ward matter was finally settled.
There were many infected people in the general ward, so Chen Li and Meng Yi asked Su Keke and Grandma Qiao to wait here, and they would follow Nurse Xiaojiao to pick up the people.
"Okay then! We'll wait for you here!"
Su Keke and Grandma Qiao had no objections, as the risk of infection there was indeed high.
While they were there to pick someone up, she and Grandma Qiao cleaned the place.
Take out disinfectant from the space, and spray all the wards, nursing rooms, kitchenettes, and toilets.
Then I wiped the table and mopped the floor, and finally replaced all the sheets, quilt covers and pillows in the accompanying room and the double bed with new ones.
Fortunately, I had stocked up on a lot of bedding sets before, and now they come in handy.
These VIP wards have been idle for a long time and no one has come to clean them, so there is a thick layer of dust on the top.
The nurse Xiao Jiao just said that you can spend 50 points to hire a nurse from the rescue station to come and clean the place. Mr. Liu across the street spent 100 points to hire two nurses to come and clean the place.
Meng Yi and Chen Li said on the spot that 50 points were too expensive. They only earned 800 points a month by working every day. The caregiver was too expensive!
"The rescue station has limited protective clothing, and the caregivers haven't been issued any. People are risking their lives to earn these points, so the price is naturally high."
Seeing that Chen Limengyi and the others had no intention of hiring a caregiver, Xiaojiao stopped recommending them.
The three of them quickly came down from the fifth floor, and then Chen Li and Meng Yi were led by Xiao Jiao through two empty laboratory buildings.
It took about ten minutes to reach the hospital outpatient building.
All patients must undergo a detailed examination on the first floor of the outpatient building. Only after they are confirmed to have a rash infectious disease will they be assigned to different wards according to the severity of their symptoms.
"Sister Ling! Can you please help me check which ward Lu Mei and Shi Huan are currently in?"
Xiaojiao walked to the front desk and asked with ease.
"Hey! It's Xiaojiao! Didn't Director Chen transfer you to the VIP ward? The conditions there are so good! How come you still have time to come to our ordinary ward?"
The woman called Sister Ling was tall and very fat. The loose protective suit seemed unprecedentedly tight on her.
"I'm just here to transfer two patients. Sister Ling, could you please check them quickly? Their families are still waiting!"
Xiao Jiao must have her own set of methods to be able to be transferred to the VIP ward by Director Chen.
Faced with Sister Ling's sarcasm, she was not ambiguous at all and directly used the patient's family to put pressure on her.
"When was the person sent here? Tell me the time so it will be easier to check!"
Sister Ling rolled her eyes and stopped looking at Xiaojiao.
She picked up a thick registration booklet from the table and slowly flipped through the pages starting from the first page.
"Around half past ten at night! Could you please check for us?"
Chen Li and Meng Yi, who were standing behind Xiao Jiao, watched the movements of Sister Ling's hands as if in slow motion, and quickly reported the time they arrived.
"Half past ten... Lu Mei... Shi Huan..."
Sister Ling's gloved hands seemed to have difficulty turning the pages. Chen Li saw that she kept repeating the name she was looking for, and it took her a long time to turn a page.
After the natural disaster caused power outages and internet disconnection, although the rescue station has a generator, it can only ensure lighting at night. Things like registering patient information and assigning wards can now only be recorded by hand.
Just when Chen Li was about to go up and help her turn the pages, Sister Ling finally found it. She pointed to a place and said loudly, "Room 1205, 12th floor, Inpatient Building."
"Okay! Thank you!"
After Chen Li and Meng Yi knew Lu Mei and Shi Huan's ward, they hurriedly asked nurse Xiao Jiao to take them there.
"The 12th floor?" Xiao Jiao was a little depressed. What luck she had. She had just come down from the 5th floor and now she had to climb to the 12th floor. Fortunately, the temperature had dropped a lot in the past two days, otherwise she would probably get heatstroke if she climbed to the 12th floor wearing protective clothing.
All the elevators in the hospital were out of service. When Xiao Jiao and Meng Yi were climbing the stairs, they met several nurses carrying a stretcher downstairs. The people lying on the stretcher were covered with white cloth. It was easy to guess what was going on.
In just one night, this ordinary inpatient building was basically filled with patients.
Ordinary wards are basically four-person rooms, and some are even 10-person rooms. Lu Mei and Shi Huan's symptoms were relatively mild, so they were assigned to a high floor.
Patients who were slow in their movements and had to be carried by their family members were arranged on the first and second floors.
"Ah... Doctor... Please save me... It hurts so much!"
"Let me out now! I'm not sick! I don't want to be locked up here! Ah...Ahhhh!"
The conditions of the infected patients living on the lower floors were more serious. Chen Li, Mengyi and others could hear all kinds of crying and shouting on the stairs. There were also several locked wards with clanging sounds inside, as if someone had bumped into something.
"Is there no one in charge here? The noise is so creepy." Chen Li asked Xiaojiao while climbing the stairs.
Xiao Jiao shook her head. "There is currently no specific medicine to cure this rash virus. We can only use conservative treatment to keep the patient alive."
"The hospital is short of medicines. With so many people infected at once, we can only give the medicines to those with milder symptoms who are likely to be cured."
"Then...these people who are in more serious condition! Even if they go to the rescue station, they can only wait to die here, right?"
