Chapter 250: Deadly bacteria, premature death!

"Didn't I tell you to take him to the hospital as soon as possible? Take him to the hospital now!!"

The husband on the other end of the phone was getting anxious and angry.

I can't wait to be at the hotel in the next second.

He had said before that he would take him to the hospital, but his wife insisted that he take ibuprofen suspension.

"I, I'll take it right away!!"

The woman's name was Hu Zhilei, and she nodded frantically.

She thought it was just a common fever and didn't take the patient to the hospital. She told him to take some ibuprofen suspension, which would normally help.

Who would have thought that after taking the ibuprofen suspension, the child's body temperature only dropped briefly, but the high fever continued.

So she sent her child to Haiya First People's Hospital.

This is the best hospital in the whole city.

We went to the hospital to check the child's liver function, blood routine, etc.

At the same time, intravenous infusion and other treatment methods were also adopted.

But Hu Zhilei was surprised to find that the child was still listless, sleepy, and even occasionally unconscious.

"How did it become like this after taking it swimming? Did it eat something it shouldn't have?"

After hearing this, Hu Zhilei's husband rushed over.

Seeing the child so soft, he felt very complicated.

Everything was fine when I left home this morning, how come it turned out like this in less than ten hours.

"No, we eat normally, and we only eat food from the hotel, so there shouldn't be any problem."

Hu Zhilei explained.

"Doctor, what's wrong with our child? This doesn't look like a normal fever at all. He can't eat anything, and he throws up after eating. He's also weak and has no energy at all!"

The time is now six o'clock in the evening.

Pediatrician Director Huang is here to make rounds now.

Because of the special condition, the little boy named Xiaolin has been arranged to be hospitalized.

"We are now initially considering it as a bacterial infection. Did the child eat something unclean?"

Huang Suzhen asked.

As the leader of Haiya Pediatrics, she is quite experienced.

But she was also puzzled about the condition of this little patient.

How could a swim in the ocean turn out like this?

"No! Director Huang, I just arrived at Haiya this morning. After checking into the hotel, I went swimming at the North Shore. After coming back and taking a nap, the child felt something was wrong and started to have a fever. At the time, I thought it was just a common fever, so I gave him ibuprofen suspension. After taking it, the fever subsided for a while, but he had a fever again! I sent him here!"

Hu Zhilei once again described in detail everything that happened today.

She would never let her children eat junk food! How harsh is she? I remember when her son Xiaolin was little, a neighbor once gave him snacks made at home without any safety labels, and she scolded him! So she would never let her children eat junk food and get a stomach infection.

"What about yesterday and the day before yesterday? Did your children go swimming in that kind of pond? Or play in the water?"

Huang Suzhen continued to ask.

Ponds with slow water flow may also breed germs that can make people sick.

The other party's attack may not be that fast.

It usually stays dormant for a day or two before it breaks out again.

"No, no, the child was at home yesterday and the day before yesterday."

Hu Zhilei made a solemn promise.

"Yes, our children did not touch anything unhygienic yesterday, the day before yesterday, or even the day before yesterday. I can guarantee this."

The child's father nodded.

"This... Then we can only slowly explore and finally determine the cause of the disease."

A trace of bitterness flashed across Huang Suzhen's eyes.

I originally thought that I could determine the cause of the disease through the child's daily routine and do relevant examinations, but I didn't expect that I didn't get to know anything.

There is no other way but to check them one by one.

"By the way, Dr. Huang! Do you think it's possible that our child has been attacked by brain-eating worms?!"

Suddenly Hu Zhilei seemed to think of something.

He slapped his head suddenly.

How could I have forgotten about this?

Around noon today, a woman with a child said that there were brain-eating worms in the water. She also said that children are more likely to be infected.

By the way, the child seemed to have choked while swimming today.

But she didn't care much.

After all, it is normal to choke while swimming.

"Brain-eating worms!?"

Huang Suzhen's pupils shrank when she heard these three words.

"That's unlikely, isn't it? Didn't you just say that you didn't go swimming in unclean waters like ponds?"

Then he spoke slowly.

Among all bacterial microbial infections, this brain-eating worm is one of the most serious.

However, this brain-eating worm generally lives in lake water, sewer water, damp soil and decaying plants, and feeds on bacteria. A warm water environment above 25°C without disinfection is most suitable for its growth and reproduction.

It is almost impossible to encounter brain-eating worms while swimming in the sea.

So she never thought about it that way.

Especially since the other party swore that they had never played in lakes, ponds, or sewers! "We certainly didn't go, but how is that impossible?!"

Hearing this, Hu Zhilei expressed confusion and surprise.

"Because most of these brain-eating worms exist in freshwater lakes and soil. They mainly enter the human body through the nasal cavity and skin wounds, causing brain infection. Although the symptoms are somewhat similar, if you just swim at the beach, the possibility is very small. The difficulty is about the same as you spending four dollars to buy two lottery tickets and winning the first prize in a row."

Huang Suzhen said.

I can't say there are absolutely no brainworms in the sea, but they are really rare! If you were to swim in the sea and get infected by brain-eating worms, it would be no different from winning the first prize in the lottery twice in a row.

"Wife, how do you know about this brain-eating worm?"

The man next to him looked confused.

I'm curious about how my wife knows about brain-eating worms.

He had no idea of ​​this creature.

"I don't know either. Today, a woman said something like, Boss Zhang said there are brain-eating worms on the north shore and we are not recommended to swim. She also said that children are more likely to be infected. She came over and talked to me for seven or eight minutes."

Hu Zhilei recalled the scene that happened this afternoon.

"Boss Zhang? Zhang Lingtian?"

There are interns in pediatrics.

The other party is here with the director to make rounds and study at the same time.

As young people, when they hear the word "Boss Zhang", they think of Zhang Lingtian reflexively.

"Zhang Lingtian!!"

The man's eyes were as big as copper bells.

At the same time, a chill inexplicably arose. If it was really Zhang Lingtian, it would be terrible.

"Yeah, the other party said he was Zhang Lingtian from Ping An Funeral Shop."

Hu Zhilei nodded.

"Are you a tiger or not, Zhang Lingtian! Zhang Lingtian! Zhang Yanwang! How dare you disobey the other party? Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey?"

The man's name is Gu Xue! He almost exploded on the spot!

Where's the brain? Has it been eaten by brain-eating worms? Boss Zhang was indifferent to my warning!

"I don't know if that's the real Boss Zhang. Besides, you come here to swim with great expectations, but someone suddenly tells you there are brain-eating worms in the water. Can you believe it? What if that person is an unscrupulous businessman trying to scare people?"

Hu Zhilei explained to her husband with a look of grievance on her face.

Now you can approve anything.

Who knows whether what they say is true or false.

And this kind of person is really a killjoy.

You come here to swim but she wants to tell you this kind of nonsense.

"Then why don't you confirm if it's Boss Zhang? And did you know that an internet celebrity named Zhang Wan'er was hit by a telephone pole yesterday and died instantly? If she had listened to the advice at that time, this wouldn't have happened!"

Gu Xue was annoyed.

He was still feeling wronged! Hearing Boss Zhang's reminder, he probably had to take the child away on the spot.

Whether true or false.

After all, when can you not swim? People say there are brain-eating worms and you still rush in! Are you crazy? "Both parents, please be quiet. This is the inpatient area and we have not confirmed whether it is infected with brain-eating worms. After all, the probability is very low. If you want to check, we will collect the patient's cerebrospinal fluid for testing. Do you agree?"

Huang Suzhen interrupted the two people.

Although it was Boss Zhang who said that.

But the chance of getting infected if you swim at the beach is really minimal.

Especially the children have no wounds on their bodies.

"That's right! We haven't confirmed whether it's a brain-eating worm yet! We need to let the doctor test it to find out! What if it's a misunderstanding? Why are you yelling?!"

Hu Zhilei felt a little aggrieved just now, but now she immediately refuted as if she had thought of something.

"Let's get tested first."

Gu Xue was not in the mood to argue with the other party.

"Ms. Hu, let me ask you one last question. Did the child choke on water while swimming today?"

Huang Suzhen asked a question.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Yeah, I choked on water today, but it's normal for kids to choke on water while swimming."

Hu Zhilei nodded.

"Okay, I understand. Let's do the inspection next."

Huang Suzhen left the ward.

"Teacher, this sea can also be infected with brain-eating worms. Is this just overthinking?"

After leaving the room, a student asked a question.

"Isn't there someone who won the lottery? Just do a cerebrospinal fluid test, hurry up!"

Huang Suzhen felt a little heavy.

If there are other infections, there is still a high chance of being saved.

After all, modern medicine is advanced.

But this brain-eating worm is an exception.

There is currently no antidote.

If you are really infected with the brain-eating worm, there is less than 5% chance of survival.

This is the case when medical treatment is timely.

If it's a little later, the chance of survival is basically not even 5%, and the maximum chance of survival is estimated to be 1% to 2%.

So they have to be fast.

Fight the god of death for people! "Understood!"

Pediatrics seems to have faced a major challenge, and the cerebrospinal fluid must be tested immediately, hoping to rule out this option!

Spring River.

"Boss, we are back."

At six o'clock in the Ping An Funeral Home, Li Tiantian, Su Wei and Jiang Xiaohan each carried a bag of their own.

If you open it, you will see that it is their personal belongings.

At 4:30, Zhang Lingtian asked everyone to go back and pack their things. Since they were driving, he decided to set off early tonight.

After all, it’s a six-hour drive.

This is not close.

So the funeral shop members all went home early to pack their things, and six o'clock was exactly the time for this episode.

"Brother Tian, ​​why don't you just eat in the car? There's no need to eat inside."

The trunk of the car opened.

The three people's belongings were put in.

Su Wei spoke at this moment.

Eating in the car can also save time.

"You can eat in the car if that's okay with you. I've already finished eating anyway."

Zhang Lingtian spread his hands.

He didn't have much to pack, so he just ordered four box lunches and ate his dinner while waiting for everyone to arrive.

"No problem, work comes first!"

Li Tiantian shouted slogans.

"Sure, as long as you don't feel irritated, boss."

Jiang Xiaohan looked at Zhang Lingtian with her beautiful eyes.

After all, she was eating in the passenger seat.

"What's so hot about this? Let's put the thing away and go."

It’s a six-hour drive, so if we go there tomorrow morning we’ll arrive in the afternoon.

By then we will have to take care of the remains.

I am tired after driving for a day, and everyone is also tired after riding in the car for a day, and they may not be in their best condition.

So I'm going to go to the county town over there tonight and have a nap.

The second day was also a little easier.

At ten o'clock six, everyone in the funeral shop set out on the journey to Donghe.

As for the police station, Zhang Lingtian also said hello, stating that he would not be able to go to the police station to shoot the safety promotional video for the next three days.

It takes a little over five hours to get to Donghe County from here, and you can arrive there in twelve o'clock by driving normally.

On the way.

Everyone was eating and chatting.

Take a look at the hot search list by the way.

"The scumbag was finally caught."

At eight o'clock in the evening, Li Tiantian blurted out something.

"Who? Luo Chunbo?"

Jiang Xiaohan asked curiously.

"Who else but him would actually use digitalis to murder Yaya? He is really cunning. Fortunately, he remembered what our boss said this morning not to eat greasy food."

Li Tiantian nodded.

It is now ranked over 40th on the hot search list.

"Murder? This charge is really suitable. I hope the attempted insurance fraud can also be convicted!"

Su Wei also opened his Weibo.

"Boss, even though this internet celebrity Yaya is a little bit stupid, people who listen to her advice won't have bad luck and won't die, right?"

Li Tiantian leaned over and asked with a smile.

"People who listen to advice do have advantages, but what is the basis for this not dying?"

After listening to the first half, Zhang Lingtian thought it was quite normal.

But the second half left him a little confused.

"Hehe~, the King of Hell is here."

Li Tiantian covered her mouth and smiled.

The boss didn’t deny that she wasn’t that happy, he just denied that she felt that way!! “…”

Zhang Lingtian was speechless for a while and focused his attention on driving.

The black Passat was traveling on the highway.

Some of the passengers even took out their mobile phones to take pictures of the license plate Jiang A04048.

…

Hedong, ten o'clock the next morning.

“Beep, beep, beep.”

We drove until twelve o'clock last night before arriving in Donghe County.

"Hey! Boss!"

After being busy with some things, Zhang Lingtian went to bed at two o'clock. Suddenly, his cell phone rang before he woke up.

"What's wrong, sweetie?"

He fumbled for his phone and answered the call. Soon he found that it was Li Tiantian's voice on the other end of the line. A puzzled look appeared in his eyes. Did something happen in the funeral home? "Boss, why don't you come to the funeral home? I feel like there's something wrong with the body of the deceased!"

Li Tiantian and her friends arrived at the funeral home early in the morning, but as they continued to sort out the remains, she became more and more frightened.

Because there is something wrong with this body!
