Old man Gu came and left quickly, and he was the one who took charge of all the complicated work outside.
However, he still had a conscience and knew that this was the food Chen Xia had purchased himself and did not use the hospital's bill, so he patted him on the shoulder.
"You've worked hard to take care of the logistics for your colleagues, but I can't eat for free. I'll reimburse you when we get back to the hospital."
After saying this, he bowed to the doctors and nurses present and said, "Thank you for your hard work, everyone. You must hold on."
In the following days, Chen Xia was mainly focused on ensuring his colleagues had food and water, but the epidemic recurred.
Ren Yuanfei slumped in his chair, "Alas, two patients died today."
While pouring water, Chen Xia asked, "What's the reason?"
"Diarrhea, constant diarrhea, causes the body to lose too much water and electrolytes, which can lead to hypovolemic shock, ultimately causing circulatory collapse and acute renal failure. It's impossible to save the patient. Remember, this is one of the main causes of death in cholera patients."
"Ohhh, then why won't the diarrhea stop?"
"You've hit the nail on the head. Antibacterial drugs are still not effective." Ren Yuanfei suddenly stopped talking.
"No, damn, you're very cunning, kid. Tell me, what's your idea?"
Chen Xia took out a bottle of capsules and said, "This is norfloxacin. Take two capsules at a time, twice a day. Master, you can try it and see if it works."
Ren Yuanfei agreed, but in fact he had to bear a great responsibility because these drugs were used without discussion and research by an expert group.
He agreed not just for his apprentice, but more importantly, he believed in Chen Xia and believed that these medicines could bring hope of life to the patients.
But he still told Dean Gu privately about these drugs before using them. Dean Gu sighed:
"Use it. We'll give it a try. Two have already died, and the leaders are already dissatisfied. If we can't save those critically ill patients, we'll be fired. Dismissal is a small matter, but we'll be betraying the people's trust."
Both of them are under a lot of pressure now.
In the ward.
Li Baowei felt like he was about to die. He could no longer control his diarrhea, which flowed out like tap water. He could no longer wear his pants, and was left with his bare buttocks and a T-basin under his buttocks.
He had no strength at all, his mouth was dry, and he felt uncomfortable all over. He couldn't eat anything and had to rely on liquids to survive.
But what made him even more upset was that he brought the seafood home and kindly shared it with his neighbors, which resulted in this disaster.
After Mr. Kong in the bed next to him died yesterday, he fell into deep fear and felt that it would be his turn soon.
But when he thought of his wife and three children who were far away in a small seaside town, and how they would survive without any source of income after his death, his heart ached.
Even if he wanted to cry, he had no tears left, really no tears left.
He wanted to yell, but found that no sound came out of his throat. He could only lie there and watch his life slip away.
Finally, a doctor in charge of his bed came in, gave him two capsules, asked him to take them, and told him that they were imported medicines and whether he could survive depended on his luck.
It was not known whether it was because of his strong desire to survive or the effect of the medicine, but in the early morning, Li Baowei suddenly found that he had stopped defecating and his diarrhea had stopped.
This made him ecstatic because the doctor had said that if the diarrhea could not be stopped, he would be in danger.
Now that the diarrhea has stopped, does it mean that the dangerous period has passed?
When the nurse in charge came to change his urinal in the middle of the night, she found that there was no feces in it.
This surprised the nurse very much, because the patient had already been "sentenced to death".
Early in the morning, when Ren Yuanfei went to make rounds, he specifically went to see the three patients who had taken Norfloxacin yesterday.
These three are the most seriously ill, and unless a miracle happens, their chances of survival are slim.
As soon as we entered the tent, the nurse in charge immediately stood up and reported happily:
"Director Ren, patients Li Baowei, Li Dehai, and Jiang Xianyun stopped having diarrhea last night."
"Ah, no more bowel movements?"
"Well, I change all the shit bowls myself, so there's no mistake."
Ren Yuanfei looked at the three patients lying on the beds and muttered to himself, "What a miracle drug! Is there such a huge gap between medical treatment and drug standards at home and abroad?"
At this moment, Ren Yuanfei became very unconfident.
On an empty hillside, Chen Xia was pinned to the ground by Ren Yuanfei.
"Tell me, kid, what's going on with this medicine? Has foreign medical technology become so advanced that it can outperform ours?"
Chen Xia thought, "We've been closed off for so many years. If it weren't for the elders' courage to persist in reform and opening up, to learn from their mistakes and then forge ahead, we wouldn't have caught up decades later. As for now, the description of being beaten is absolutely correct."
"Master, please stop pinching me. I'm telling you what I'm telling you," Chen Xia explained while sitting on the ground.
"This drug belongs to the quinolone antibiotic class and is particularly effective against Gram-negative bacteria. The first generation of drugs, such as nalidixic acid, was invented in 1960 but is now rarely used due to poor efficacy. The second generation of drugs, such as pipemidic acid, was launched around 1970.
The third generation is norfloxacin, which I took out today. Compared with the previous two generations, its antibacterial spectrum is further expanded. It also has antibacterial effects on Gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus, and its antibacterial effect on some Gram-negative bacteria is further enhanced.
This time, Vibrio cholerae is also a Gram-negative bacterium. The principle of this drug is to target the DNA of Vibrio cholerae, hinder DNA gyrase, and further cause irreversible damage to the DNA of Vibrio cholerae, thereby achieving the effect of killing Vibrio cholerae."
Ren Yuanfei felt that he was really bored and had nothing better to do, so he asked his little apprentice more questions. However, after asking this question, the little apprentice immediately mastered all the knowledge points.
He doesn't understand what quinolone and DNA are. What should he do?
"Xiao Xia, what do you think about me studying abroad?"
"Ah?! Master, how old are you?"
Chen Xia didn't know that his introduction to "foreign medicine" made Ren Yuanfei feel completely out of date.
Even though he was joking about studying abroad, he really wanted to go abroad to see how people treated illnesses and used medications.
After a day of observation, the three critically ill patients no longer had diarrhea, and after a series of fluid replacement treatments, their spirits began to slowly recover.
All the medical staff breathed a sigh of relief, and word gradually spread that Chen Xia from the Fourth Hospital had once again obtained a miraculous medicine.
After Ren Yuanfei reported to Dean Gu, Dean Gu immediately reported to his superiors. The regional secretary Li Bingquan attached great importance to it and allocated 50,000 yuan. Dean Gu personally asked Chen Xia to get more medicine.
Chen Xia was a little confused now. His original plan was to sell the medicine quietly, without any robbery, and make a fortune in silence.
Unexpectedly, because the efficacy is so good, the superiors directly allocated funds and required large-scale purchases. Isn’t this too eye-catching?
This is 50,000 yuan, 5 millionaires, so many people must be watching them.
