Chapter 292 Asking for Help

"What?" Xu Nuo was stunned. "Is there such a situation in our hospital?"

"Yes, I have it. Otherwise, would I not dare to go out and wander around?" Bai Qiu Ning is very careful now.

What if I get infected with measles and lose the baby in my belly?

"How is this possible? Didn't anyone in the hospital report this? Didn't anyone in the hospital's clinic mention it?" Xu Nuo asked hurriedly.

Measles is highly contagious and if it is not controlled, the disease will spread out of control.

Although children are more susceptible to the disease, adults rarely get it.

Rarely occurring does not mean that the disease will not occur. Once it occurs, the complications it causes are more dangerous.

Xu Nuo is a doctor and he cannot turn a blind eye to this matter.

"Hey, don't be too nervous." Liao Hong said, "In fact, it's not as exaggerated as my sister-in-law said. There are two or three children in the hospital who have fallen ill. One of them has recovered after having the rash, and the other two are holding on. They will be fine after they get through it."

"This disease can indeed heal itself. Some people can survive it, but some people cannot!"

"What should we do? We don't have any other solution. We can't stop these people from going out, right?"

"I'm going to report this to the hospital." Xu Nuo felt that the situation could not be allowed to escalate, and that an effective way must be found to control it before that.

Although this disease will not be fatal if treated in time, it cannot withstand a large-scale outbreak.

Medical capacity is limited and must be controlled.

"Yes, yes, yes." Bai Qiuning agreed with this very much. "But you have to control it. I don't want my child to encounter such a bad thing as soon as he is born."

After leaving Bai Qiuning's house, Xu Nuo went home to cook. While washing her hands, she wondered whether she should wait until Monday to report the matter to the hospital leaders.

There are quite a lot of children in this compound. There are at least dozens of children in the kindergarten. Add the children in the military primary school, and there are at least a hundred or so.

If this gets into trouble in the compound, many people will be affected.

Xu Nuo was thinking about it without stopping his hands.

She had slaughtered the fish and was preparing to make sweet and sour fish in the evening. Just as she put the fish into the pot, she heard someone knocking on the door.

Xu Nuo washed his hands and went to open the door, only to find that the person standing at the door was Zheng Huangen.

"Director Zheng, why are you here? What a rare guest! Are you here to see Lu Chen? Please come in!"

"No, I'm not here to see Captain Lu. I'm here to see you."

"Looking for me?"

"Yes." Zheng Huangen felt a little embarrassed when he mentioned it. His wife and daughter used to make trouble for Xu Nuo every other day. Now that someone in the family is really sick, they pushed him out to find Xu Nuo.

"What do you want from me?" Xu Nuo was quite surprised.

She and Gou Yuexiang were not on good terms, and the two had already fallen out.

She was sent back to her hometown by her husband, who only picked her up during the Chinese New Year.

Since then, Gou Yuexiang has been much quieter and they rarely meet on weekdays. Even if they meet face to face, they both pretended not to have seen each other.

"My child is sick and has had a high fever for three days. Her mother and I are so anxious that we came to you for help," said Zheng Huangen.

When Xu Nuo heard about the high fever, he immediately became alert: "Apart from the high fever, are there any other symptoms?"

"It feels like a cold, but it feels more serious than a cold..."

"Okay, I'll go with you to take a look." Xu Nuo agreed, "But I don't have a medical kit, so I can only diagnose but not prescribe medicine."

"It's okay, it's okay. I'll go find Zhang Juan to get the medicine later." Zheng Huangen said.

"Then why don't you go to her directly?" Xu Nuo said, "There are doctors on duty at the clinic at night, and they don't get off work until after ten o'clock."

Zheng Huangen waved his hand and said, "No. I've been to the doctor twice before. He gave me antipyretics, and my fever went down after I took them, but it came back soon. I wanted to go to the hospital, but my husband said you're a good doctor. I thought, yeah, you're a good doctor and you live in the compound, so it's much more convenient than going to the hospital, right?"

Xu Nuo could understand his feelings to some extent. They lived in the same compound and saw each other every day. Moreover, she was a colleague of Lu Chen, so there was no reason for her not to help.

Xu Nuo followed Zheng Huangen to his house. As soon as she entered the yard, she saw Zhuang Tian holding a basin and pouring water outside.

Their eyes met, and Zhuang Tian turned around and walked into the house without saying a word.

"Zhuang Tian!" Zheng Huangen scolded her, "Dr. Xu is here, why didn't you say hello?"

Zhuang Tian stopped and turned around, calling out very reluctantly, "Doctor Xu."

Xu Nuo nodded slightly: "Long time no see, Zhuang Tian."

"Come in, my mother and my brothers are waiting for you." She said coldly and went into the house first.

Xu Nuo was led into the bedroom of the three children. Gou Yuexiang was using wet towels to cool the children down. When she saw Xu Nuo coming, she forced a stiff smile from her face, "Doctor Xu, you're here. Please help check on the children. They all have high fevers!"

That’s right, there were three people lying on two beds, and each one’s face was redder than the other.

With just one glance, Xu Nuo determined: "Measles!"

"Measles? There's no measles here?" Gou Yuexiang said stutteringly.

"It's almost there." Xu Nuo didn't get any closer. He just watched from a distance and said, "Only one person can take care of this room. Others should stay away from it. It's easy to get infected."

"I know this. I've heard about it before." Zheng Huangen said, "This disease is highly contagious..."

"Yes, it's good that you know." Xu Nuo glanced at the three people from a distance, and did not dare to get too close. After all, she didn't even wear a mask. She felt that her immunity had been reduced due to the fatigue of the past few days. If she was infected, it would be a big trouble. "I'll prescribe you a prescription and you can go to the health center to get the medicine. Take it for a few days according to the method I gave you. If it works, then there is no problem. If it doesn't work, go to the hospital as soon as possible."

"Okay, okay! Thank you, thank you!" Gou Yuexiang kept thanking.

Zhuang Tian took out a pen and paper and handed them to Xu Nuo. Xu Nuo sat down and quickly began to write the prescription.

Gou Yuexiang couldn't help but complain: "It's all the fault of the students in Sanzhuang's class. Several of them had fever a few days ago, and their families didn't even ask them to rest at home, but forced them to go to school. Now, half of the class has fallen ill..."

Hearing this number, Xu Nuo gasped.

It has become popular in schools in cities, but what about in rural areas?

She didn't dare to think about it anymore, and immediately decided that she must discuss this matter with the hospital leaders tonight to see what the hospital meant.
