Chapter 174: Trick Him Out of the Epidemic Area
Everyone in the room started talking at once.
In fact, this situation is exactly what Lin Sanqi fears the most. If the patient cannot drink the decoction or oral rehydration saline, the condition will only continue to worsen.
Huang Zhibai was also a little anxious. Originally, there was no hope for the patient, but now there is hope but he can't take the medicine. What a pity.
"Comrade Lin, is there any other solution?"
Lin Sanqi thought that there must be a way. If the medicine could not be taken orally, then he could just give it an injection and inject the medicine into the human body through infusion.
But in 1959, Qin County didn't even have a modern hospital, let alone intravenous drips.
Lin Sanqi has the conditions, but if he suddenly takes out boxes of infusion bottles, bottles of injectable drugs, and pairs of syringes in front of the government, he will really be held accountable later.
People wouldn't think he brought it from another country, they would just think it was smuggled in across the border.
If a private individual controls a smuggling route, do you think the government will be reassured? Will they punish you later? Will they write it down in a notebook?
Therefore, Lin Sanqi would not save people in such a situation. He could save one or two people secretly, but it was hard to imagine that he, a "nurse", could not even give them all injections.
"Doctor Huang, we've tried our best. I've even used the secret recipe passed down from my ancestors. If this still doesn't save the patient, then we can only say that everything is determined by fate."
Lin Sanqi wants to save people, and what he is doing now is actually selfless dedication.
But doctors are human beings, not gods, and they are not omnipotent. There are two outcomes for sick people: either "life" or "death". Hospitals and doctors are not life safes that can only ensure life but not death.
capital
It is already very cold in the capital in November, and with the sandstorms in the north these days, the sky is yellow, giving people a depressing feeling.
Dean Shen walked into the office, and before he had time to catch his breath, the office staff handed him a telegram.
"Dean, this is a telegram from Guangqiqin County. It arrived early this morning and is extremely urgent. Please take a look."
Dean Shen hung his coat on the hanger and asked curiously:
"Qin County? I've never heard of it. Do we have any business dealings with them? Okay, put the telegram on the table."
The staff member put down the telegram, picked up the kettle and started making tea (the tea was sent by Lin Sanqi).
Dean Shen opened the envelope as soon as he sat down. Then he sat up straight, his face turned pale, and he instructed the staff of the hospital office:
"Go, call Chief Kong Shuihu of the Purchasing Department and Dr. Lin Kushen to my office immediately, quickly!"
The staff member immediately realized that something serious had happened and nodded: "I'll be there right away."
Ten minutes later, Kong Shuihu and Lin Kucan walked into the dean's office one after another.
"Dean, if there's anything urgent, call us here."
"Do you know where Lin Sanqi is now?"
Kong Shuihu thought for a moment:
"He sent me a telegram five days ago. He was in Yulin at the time. The telegram simply told me that the Yulin chicken bone grass had been purchased and shipped to the capital by rail, and asked us to check it out."
"Yulin five days ago? What area will he target for his next purchase?"
"Qin County is also his last purchasing location. He wants to buy 3 tons of Curcuma zedoaria."
Lin Kucan also roughly knew where his son had gone. Now that the dean specifically asked about it, he felt a little uneasy.
"Dean Shen, did my son get into trouble outside, or did something unexpected happen?"
These days you have to carry a gun when you go out, so you can imagine that the public security is not peaceful at all. In many places, the reactionaries have not been completely eliminated. A mother worries about her son even when he is thousands of miles away. It is impossible for Lin Kucan to say that he is not worried.
Dean Shen threw a telegram on the table: "Come, take a look, this guy is really a troublesome guy."
Kong Shuihu and Lin Kucan quickly opened the telegram, and then they were both shocked.
The phone number is an official letter from the Qin County Government to the Capital Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
One is to ask if there is a staff member named Lin Sanqi at Capital Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. This is probably to confirm the identity, which is actually a background check.
The authorities are so cautious in their work that no tricks can fool them. Any doubts must be investigated thoroughly.
The second one is praise, praising Lin Sanqi for being a medical volunteer. When the plague broke out in Naxiang Commune, Qin County, he did not flee but stayed to help the local people fight the epidemic.
Therefore, the telegram sent by the local government of Qin County is actually a letter of praise.
Kong Shuihu got anxious when he saw it:
"Plague? Is this kid crazy? There's an epidemic, but instead of running away, he stayed to treat the locals? Is he trying to save his life?"
In the era of backward medical conditions, the most feared thing was plague, because it meant that a large number of people would die, and anyone who touched it would die.
In ancient times, if the plague could not be controlled, in serious cases, soldiers would be sent to blockade the area, leaving the people in the disaster area to fend for themselves, which was very cruel.
Lin Kucan's face also became very ugly at this time. As a doctor, he knew better the meaning of the word "plague".
“Dean Shen, do you know what type of plague it is?”
Dean Shen shook his head. "I haven't contacted the locals in Qin County yet, so I'm not sure what the current situation is. By the way, Lao Lin, you're from Huadu, and Guangdong and Guangxi are both in the south. What infectious diseases are most likely to appear in southern China this season?"
Lin Kucan calmed down and thought, muttering:
"Qin County is very hot. Every autumn, diarrheal diseases are the most common. Cholera, dysentery, and typhoid are the most likely to occur."
Several people in the office gasped. None of these three infectious diseases were simple.
Even "cholera" is one of the only two Class A infectious diseases with a very high mortality rate.
Section Chief Kong became anxious when he heard this:
"No, we can't let Lin Sanqi stay in Qin County. Dean Shen, you must send a telegram immediately and ask him to return to Beijing urgently. There can be no delay. The child doesn't know his own limits. Is he going to be left there as cannon fodder?"
Lin Kucan also nodded heavily. Faced with the risks his son might face, even if he was a Buddhist, he became a little anxious at this moment:
"We need him to come back immediately, or at least leave the epidemic area."
Dean Shen certainly didn't want anything to happen to Lin Sanqi.
Lin Sanqi not only represents himself, but also has a stable food supply channel behind him. Dean Shen also wants to use this channel to save his entire family in the possible famine.
"Okay, I'll go to the post office now and send a telegram, asking this brat to come back quickly. How long has he been gone? More than two months, right? Looks like he had a blast out there!"
Dean Shen complained as he put on his coat again and hurried out the door.
Kong Shuihu and Lin Kucan looked at each other and quickly followed: "Let's go too!"
The gossip in the hospital cannot be concealed, but the rumors will change as they spread. Now the rumor in the Chinese Hospital is that Lin Sanqi was purchased in Guangqi and is now trapped in the epidemic area and cannot get out.
Li Zexu hurried into the Purchasing Department's office and saw Yang Xiaoqing leaning on the table, so he quickly leaned over:
"Have you heard? There's a plague in Guangqi, and Lin Sanqi is trapped in the epidemic area and can't get out. Dean Shen is trying to find a way to rescue him."
Although the words were spoken softly, everyone in the office heard them clearly, and everyone pricked up their ears at once.
Yang Xiaoqing was no longer sleepy at this time and sat up straight:
"What did you say? Lin Sanqi is trapped in the plague-stricken area? Shit, what kind of unlucky fate is he, ha~~~"
Yang Xiaoqing was about to burst into laughter when Li Zexu suddenly covered her mouth, indicating that there were a large group of colleagues watching her.
Yang Qiuhong was a little anxious after hearing this: "Li Zexu, where did you hear this news?"
"Where else could it be? Of course it came from the hospital office. Everyone in the hospital knows about it now. But our purchasing department is in the far corner, so we're the last to hear about it."
Zhao Dongying couldn't bear it after hearing this:
"Lin Sanqi is so unlucky. He encountered this once-in-a-century event. We procurement workers have it tough. We're either eaten by wolves or killed by the plague. The hospital should increase our subsidies."
While everyone in the hospital was discussing this, Dean Shen was already at the post office preparing to fill out the message:
"How do you think I should write this? This kid must have gone crazy. He can't be easily pulled back, right?"
Section Chief Kong raised his eyebrows:
"What should I write? Just start cursing him, saying he's unorganized and undisciplined, and why he went to the epidemic area to join in the fun?"
Dean Shen shook his head and rejected it:
"You can't write that way. Lin Sanqi's actions embody a selfless spirit similar to Bethune's, and align with the current national theme of willingness to sacrifice for the country and its people. Therefore, we cannot criticize them, but rather praise them."
"Praise? If you keep praising him, this kid will get even more cocky and won't want to come back. What if something unexpected happens? I don't dare to think about it."
Lin Kucan had his own ideas:
"Dean Shen, it's best to send this telegram in your personal name and say, just say: Father is dead, return home quickly!"
“Wow~~~”
Dean Shen and Kong Shuihu were both stunned. In traditional thinking, cursing oneself to death is a serious taboo. It seems that Lin Laoguang is really going all out.
"Lao Lin, how about we change the excuse? This is too, what the hell..."
"No need to change it. There's no better reason than this. And think about it, putting aside whether Xiaoqi is willing to come back, the Qin County authorities finally caught a doctor. Will they be willing to let him go so easily?"
“Oh~~~”
Dean Shen and Section Chief Kong understood immediately.
It would be fine if Lin Sanqi was a useless waste, but no one knows how this guy can even cure the plague. It is estimated that the contribution he made to the local area is so great that the local government of Qin County has to call to praise him.
Talented people are always in high demand. If the Chinese Medicine Hospital asked Lin Sanqi to return to Beijing in the name of the unit, I am afraid that the local government of Qin County would conceal the truth about Lin Sanqi and withhold the telegram.
But if it was a telegram saying that his father had died, no one would dare to hide it, and it would allow Lin Sanqi to escape smoothly.
