Chapter 151 This is also my responsibility

Su Tang turned around and looked in the direction of the voice.

I saw a crowd not far away getting agitated. A woman was holding a man who had fallen to the ground, helplessly, crying for a doctor.

Outside the shed, there was a torrential downpour, and the dense raindrops hit the roof, as if they were going to crush the temporary shelter.

The coughing of Lu's father and mother made Su Tang's heart no longer at peace.

What happened in modern times came back like a nightmare.

But she didn't remember such a thing in the book.

Could it be that something has changed because of her appearance?

Without time to think about it, Su Tang looked at Lu's father and mother and said to Wang Xinxin.

"Mom and Dad, take a rest first. Don't take off your masks. Cover your mouth and nose."

"Xinxin, keep an eye on your aunt and uncle. Give them some water. There's some spare antipyretic medicine in the box. If they have a fever, give them the dosage I told you before."

Her voice was calm and composed, and the more she was at this moment, the more she couldn't panic.

She is a doctor and knows the current situation better than them.

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Tang stood up, pushed through the crowd in front of him, and walked quickly towards the direction of the call for help.

Looking at her back, Wang Xinxin anxiously called out to her, "Cousin, be careful." Su Tang's figure had already disappeared into the crowd.

"Move aside! I'm a doctor!"

Hearing these loud words.

The crowd subconsciously made way for her.

Su Tang squeezed forward and saw a man about fifty years old lying on the ground.

His body was twitching violently, he was foaming at the mouth, his teeth were clenched, and his eyes were rolled back.

His wife knelt beside him, her face covered with tears, trying in vain to hold him down with her hands, but to no avail.

Su Tang made an instant judgment that it seemed to be epilepsy.

It was probably the multiple stimuli that triggered his potential epileptic seizure.

The situation is critical, and continued convulsions may lead to suffocation, tongue bite and even brain damage.

"Has he ever had a history of epilepsy?"

Su Tang wanted to squat down, but this action made her very uncomfortable, so she knelt on the ground and asked the woman in a rapid voice.

The woman cried and replied, "Yes... yes... but I haven't done it in a long time."

"Just now he said he was dizzy, and it happened all of a sudden."

Su Tang nodded to show that she understood. She carefully placed the man on his side to prevent vomit or secretions from blocking his airway.

Then he reached out to pry open the man's jaw to prevent him from biting his tongue.

But the man clenched his teeth tightly and the force of his muscle spasms was astonishingly great.

"I need a towel or a clean handkerchief to put in his mouth!"

Su Tang looked up and shouted urgently, looking around.

The people around looked at each other in panic.

Just then, a hand reached out and handed over a relatively clean handkerchief. It was Chen Zhengnian.

I don't know when he arrived, his brows furrowed, full of worry, but he didn't hesitate.

"Su Tang, you..."

Chen Zhengnian looked at her kneeling on the ground with her belly bulging, and couldn't help but say: "Your body..."

"It's okay. Saving lives is important. This is also my duty."

Su Tang took the handkerchief without even raising his head and tried to pry open the man's teeth without hesitation.

As soldiers, Lu Xiao and he have the duty to defend their country.

As a doctor, her responsibility is to save lives and heal the wounded.

When disaster strikes, they rush to the front line, and it is natural for her to provide rescue in the rear.

Most of the people here are from the military family compound.

We used to be neighbors who saw each other every day.

Su Tang didn't want anyone to be in danger.

She was completely focused, with only the patient in her eyes.

"Doctor Su, please get up. I'll ask someone to find another doctor."

Chen Zhengnian saw her fingers trembling from the exertion.

The surrounding environment is too harsh, and you might get hurt by an out-of-control patient.

He couldn't explain to Lu Xiao.

"Chen Zhengnian!"

Su Tang raised his head and said word by word: "I am a doctor! I am the only one here! He needs me now!"

"Please respect my profession. I have the ability to protect myself."

The determination in her eyes made Chen Zhengnian silent for a moment.

Finally, he took a deep breath and growled at the dazed young men nearby, "What are you still standing there for! Listen to Doctor Su's instructions! Hold down his shoulders and legs."

Several young men woke up as if from a dream, and hurried forward, carefully holding down the patient's twitching limbs, trying their best to make space for Su Tang and prevent her from being hit.

With the help, Su Tang finally succeeded in stuffing a corner of the handkerchief between the man's clenched teeth, preventing a more serious tongue bite.

She knelt on the ground and gave orders in a steady voice.

Time passes by minute by minute, and each second seems so long.

After an unknown amount of time, the man's convulsions gradually subsided and his breathing became even. Although he was still unconscious, he was no longer convulsing.

Su Tang let out a sigh and finally relaxed.

She stood up with the help of a girl next to her and explained to the woman.

"He's stable for now. Let him rest quietly and lie on his side. Keep him warm, but don't cover him too tightly. When he wakes up, give him some warm water."

"I checked his medicine. The moisture isn't too severe. I can soak it in water and feed it to him."

"Keep the air circulating. Don't sleep in the second half of the night. Stay with your husband."

The woman burst into tears of gratitude and thanked him incoherently.

The people around looked at Su Tang with admiration and gratitude.

Su Tang walked back slowly. After Chen Zhengnian sent her to Lu's father and mother, he was about to go out when he heard Su Tang say.

"I have a bad feeling. This rain is too heavy and there's a high possibility that it will be accompanied by some major disease outbreak."

"Find a professional doctor as soon as possible and organize an evaluation."

Chen Zhengnian paused and looked back at Su Tang.

"Epidemic?"

He repeated these two words, his Adam's apple rolling and his voice tightening: "You mean..."

"The heavy rain has lasted so long that the stagnant water will breed bacteria. Add to that the dense population and poor ventilation here, and it's very easy for intestinal or respiratory infections to break out."

"Normally, epidemics only occur in southern cities when they experience this kind of heavy rain, but this kind of rain is something that only happens once every century, so I'm worried that this might happen."

Su Tang sat down, calmed down, and spoke softly.

"The patient's epilepsy just now might have been caused by the damp, hot, and stressful conditions combined with anxiety. If we don't take preventative measures, more people might fall ill in the future."

With Su Tang's words, Chen Zhengnian naturally wouldn't say anything more.

He nodded and turned to leave.

They had considered this situation before, but Su Tang's analysis was obviously more professional.

As a doctor, she has a natural sensitivity to diseases.

Su Tang leaned aside and took a breath.

She recalled the contents of the book, but still couldn't remember where the deviation occurred.

"Sister-in-law, you take a rest. I'll take care of my aunt and uncle."

Hearing Wang Xinxin's words, Su Tang shook his head: "I can't sleep. I wonder how your cousin is doing now."

"Don't worry, my cousin will be fine."
