Dean Tao: "I just received a call from Dongjiang City Hospital, saying that a very strange disease has recently appeared there."

“It’s mostly children who are sick.”

Qiao Xiazhi: "What are the symptoms?"

Dean Tao: "There are herpes on my hands, feet, body, and even in my mouth. I also have a fever."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiazhi immediately said, "Hand, foot and mouth disease!"

Dean Tao: "See, it's you again. Do you know this disease?"

Qiao Xiazhi: "I forgot which medical book I saw this in before. My patient just finished surgery, and there are some things I need to tell you. Call them right now and tell them some precautions."

"First of all, this disease is contagious and has a certain incubation period. All children with these conditions must be isolated. In addition, all the things they have used must be disinfected..."

…………

Qiao Xiazhi told Dean Tao all the things that needed to be paid attention to and the dosage of the medicines. Dean Tao was worried that he would not be able to remember, so the pen and notebook he carried with him came in handy.

Qiao Xiazhi said that he would remember it himself.

This way, when you call them later, you can just read out each sentence one by one.

After giving the instructions, Qiao Xiazhi first explained some matters that the family members of the patient who had just undergone surgery needed to pay attention to, and also explained some matters that the nurses and medical assistants should pay attention to.

After finishing his work, he came to find Dean Tao.

"How is it? Have you explained everything clearly to them?"

Dean Tao: "I have already called the dean there and told her everything. She will immediately give the patient the medicine according to what you just said."

Qiao Xiazhi: "Well, this disease also takes time to treat. Let's see the situation first. I have several important patients who need surgery in the next two days."

"They will take a look at the situation in the next two days, and we will also notify everyone to keep an eye on the situation in this regard."

"If that doesn't work, I'll go over there. This disease is very risky at best."

Although it is already the 1990s, medical care is still limited, and it is still difficult to deal with some difficult and complicated diseases.

Hand, foot and mouth disease can be life-threatening in severe cases.

And it is extremely contagious.

If we don't seize the time to control it, the consequences will be disastrous.

"That's what I told them. Let's try the medication and control according to your method and see if there is any improvement."

"I just sent a notice on our side. We will have a meeting at one o'clock. You are more familiar with this matter. Don't rush to leave work. Leave work after the meeting."

Dean Tao said this and made a cup of hot tea for Qiao Xiazhi.

"How is the patient doing today?"

Qiao Xiazhi took the teacup and said, "The operation went smoothly. As long as I rest well, I will be able to walk without any problem. But because of my age, it may be difficult for me to carry loads on the ground."

Director Tao: "It's great that he can recover and walk normally. At least he didn't have to undergo amputation and become disabled."

"Anyway, the worst outcome for any patient in your care will turn into the best outcome."

"I heard that the second phase of your Jiangnan Community has started construction. Are houses so in short supply now?"

Qiao Xiazhi smiled and said, "Of course. Don't you see how many workers there are in our provincial capital? Their wages have been rising every year. Now that everyone has money, they have to buy a house to live comfortably."

Director Tao nodded: "That's right. When will you finish the second phase?"

Qiao Xiazhi: "Why? You want to buy a house too?"

Dean Tao: "In two years, Xiao Huai will get married and have a child, and there will be no more room for him at home. Nowadays, young people like to live in apartment buildings, so his father is thinking of buying an apartment for them to live in."

Qiao Xiazhi: "That's fine, and young people now think differently from us old people. Living separately can save us from conflicts."

"It's not far away anyway, and I can go home anytime, which is pretty good."

"It will take at least two years for my second phase to be completed. When it opens, I'll get you a number."

Dean Tao: "Why, just give me a number?"

Qiao Xiazhi deliberately joked: "Well, I can't give you a discount, so that others won't say that I bribed you."

Dean Tao: "Do you still need to bribe me? I don't care, you must give me a discount when the time comes."

Qiao Xiazhi smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'll give you a discount based on the company's activities and then I'll give you another discount personally."

Dean Tao: “That’s pretty good.”

Qiao Xiazhi: "Nothing, I'll go downstairs to eat first?"

Dean Tao: "Go quickly."

After leaving Dean Tao's office, Qiao Xiazhi went back to his office to tidy up, and then went downstairs to eat with Zhou Yao and others.

"By the way, Sister Zhou Yao, have you encountered any children with herpes all over their body and fever in our hospital these days?"

Zhou Yao and the others shook their heads. Zhou Yao asked, "We haven't encountered any so far. What's the matter? The dean just sent out a notice to hold an emergency meeting at one o'clock. Is it because of this reason?"

Qiao Xiazhi: "Yes. When I came out of the operating room this morning, Dean Tao told me that there are many such cases in Dongjiang now."

"I saw it in a book before. It should be hand, foot and mouth disease. This disease is highly contagious. If you encounter it during this period, remember to disinfect and isolate yourself and pay attention to hygiene."

"So serious?" Yu Si was shocked.

Now the three of them have become the owners of the hospital.

So Qiao Xiazhi naturally told them about this situation first.

It is now June, which is the peak season for hand, foot and mouth disease, so we must not take it lightly.

Qiao Xiazhi: "President Tao has called an emergency meeting. Do you think it's serious?"

"This disease is highly contagious and has a certain incubation period. Sometimes you can't find out whether you are infected or not."

"Severe cases can be life-threatening, so we must not take it lightly. If we encounter one, we must do a good job of disinfection and prevention."

Cai Tian: "Will it be contagious to adults?"

Qiao Xiazhi: "It is difficult to determine whether it will be transmitted to adults, because everyone's physical condition is different, so in a word, pay more attention to hygiene, and always wear gloves and masks."

"You don't know the specific conditions of the patients we face every day. The most important thing is to protect yourself."

Cai Tian: "Then I'd better wear a mask and gloves when I go to work this afternoon. It's too hot and stuffy this hot day."

Qiao Xiazhi: "That's better than when I first started working. The masks I wore back then were all made of thick cotton gauze."

"At least it's thin now, and compared to the unknown risks, wearing a mask is still very necessary."

"Also, disinfect your whole body before going home. Don't bring any viruses or bacteria home. If you have elderly people or children at home, you must be careful. Do you do this every day?"
