Chapter 280 Infectious Diseases
When Brigade Commander Lu saw his second brother and his family all crying, and then looked at the look on his little niece's face, he knew that the situation was not good.
He hurriedly helped his nephew Lu Kai up: "Don't worry, don't worry! Hurry up and get up! Don't kneel down at every turn! I didn't say I don't care."
"The county hospital said that the child could not be saved... He was unconscious on the way and half of his body was paralyzed." Mu Pingping cried distressedly, "Uncle, Junjun is only six years old..."
"Second brother, get up quickly. The conditions in our military hospital are good, and there is a way." Aunt Tong pointed at Xu Nuo and said, "Look, this is the expert doctor in the pediatric department of our military hospital. He is right in our home!"
Aunt Tong went to support Lu Laoer, while Liao Qing and Lu Chen hurried over to help Lu Kai and Mu Pingping up.
When Lu Lao Er heard that Xu Nuo was an expert doctor, he was a little bit unconvinced when he saw how young she was: "Sister-in-law, are you kidding me? She's so young... and an expert?"
Will it be difficult to see a doctor?
Brigade Commander Lu said, "Second brother, your sister-in-law is right. This is the doctor in the pediatric department of our military hospital. He performs first-rate surgeries!"
Since his own brother said so, Lu Laoer had no reason not to believe it.
He stepped forward excitedly and held Xu Nuo's hand directly: "Doctor, my Junjun's life is in your hands."
Xu Nuo had just checked on the child and was still thinking about the cause of the illness when someone suddenly held her hand and solemnly told her that he was leaving her life to her. She was really shocked.
"Uncle Lu, we will do our best to treat the child's illness, so don't worry. But I really can't guarantee you what the result will be."
She had some psychological trauma from the previous incidents when those people were causing trouble at every turn.
So, when she met such an anxious and kneeling person, she had to say the ugly words up front.
Fortunately, Commander Lu’s family members were aware of this and could understand what she said.
"Don't worry, doctor. As long as you are determined to save the child, we will accept any result." said Lu Laoer.
"Okay!" Xu Nuo agreed.
"Xiao Xu, what do you think of Junjun's situation?" Brigade Commander Lu asked Xu Nuo.
Everyone's eyes were focused on her. Xu Nuo combined her observations and briefly stated her judgment: "Measles combined with encephalitis."
"What? Measles!" Brigade Commander Lu gasped, "How could he have measles?"
"These are symptoms of measles." Xu Nuo pointed to the large patches of papules on the child's body and asked Lu Kai and his wife, "Before the rash appeared, did the child have a fever?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Mu Pingping nodded repeatedly and rushed to reply, "Three or four days ago, the child started to look a little listless, and then started to have a fever. The fever reached 40°. At the time, we just thought it was a cold and fever and didn't take it seriously. Children in the countryside are very hardy. We gave them some medicine to make them sweat, and they were fine in two or three days."
Lu Kai continued his wife's words and said, "I didn't expect that three days later, the child started to have this problem... A few days later, he suddenly couldn't walk. We were terrified and rushed him to the county hospital. As soon as we arrived at the county hospital, the child fell into a coma. They said that he was probably dying and they couldn't treat him, so they asked us to come to the provincial capital."
"That's it." The child's condition was very critical, and Xu Nuo couldn't waste a single cent. He said to Brigade Commander Lu, "We must send the child to the hospital first, and talk on the way. We can't waste any more time."
"Okay, okay! I'll do as you say." Brigade Commander Lu hurriedly called his driver and asked him to drive over.
"One car may not be enough." Lu Chen said, "I'll call Xiao Wei over."
While waiting for the car to arrive, I had to open the child's eyelids and mouth to check the condition, and then continued: "In the early stages of measles infection, the symptoms are indeed similar to those of a cold. People with good immunity will never be infected or will recover on their own after being infected. But children's immune systems are not fully developed, and they often have serious complications, such as encephalitis. This situation is very dangerous and can be fatal. Junjun's complication is encephalitis!"
At first, Lu Kai, like his father, did not quite believe Xu Nuo. After all, in his impression, those experts were all elderly, had seen many patients, and had a lot of experience.
Xu Nuo, a girl who looks to be about 18 or 19, probably just graduated from school.
Since his uncle said she was an expert, he would just treat her as an expert.
After Xu Nuo's analysis just now, he suddenly believed Xu Nuo completely.
The girl in front of me was so calm. She spoke slowly and handled things in an orderly manner.
"Xiao Xu, is the possibility of cure high?" Aunt Tong asked anxiously.
Brigade Commander Lu glared at her and said, "Didn't Xiao Xu tell me all that just now? It's hard to say, it's hard to say, why do you insist on asking?"
Xu Nuo hesitated for a moment and said, "It depends on the child's condition. But don't worry, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, we will definitely make 100% efforts to cure the child."
Aunt Tong thanked Xu Nuo again and again. Since they said so, they would definitely give serious treatment.
Bai Qiuning saw that Lu Kai was carrying the child on his back, with beads of sweat rolling down his face.
She stepped forward and said, "Sit down and take a rest first. I'll hold you for a while."
"Wait! Don't move!" Xu Nuo immediately stopped Bai Qiu Ning.
Bai Qiuning was startled: "What...what happened?"
"Measles is highly contagious, and you might be pregnant now. If you get infected, you might not be able to keep the baby in your belly. I suggest you leave first." Xu Nuo reminded her seriously.
Bai Qiu Ning's outstretched hand shrank briefly, then slowly retracted.
"Yes, yes, yes! I almost forgot about this! Qiu Ning, you and Liao Qing should go back first." Aunt Tong said apologetically, "I wanted to invite you to dinner, but it seems that today is not possible. Let's get together again next time."
When Bai Qiu Ning heard this, he had to retreat immediately.
"Aunt Tong, where did you go? If that's the case, Liao Qing and I will leave first. We can't help much if we stay, and we might even cause more trouble."
"Yes, you guys go back quickly! Xiao Liao, take good care of your wife." Brigade Commander Lu reminded.
"Sister Qiu Ning, when you go back, be sure to wash your hands and face thoroughly with soap and running water, change your clothes, and it is best to boil them in boiling water. Also, open the windows at home to let the air flow." Xu Nuo reminded.
Lu Junjun is sick now, and the entire Lu family is here. If Xu Nuo said this, it would seem like people would feel that she is disgusted.
Bai Qiu Ning felt embarrassed after listening to this, and kept making faces at Xu Nuo, reminding her to stop talking.
Xu Nuo understood what she meant. She turned around and explained seriously: "This is not disgust. Once an infectious disease spreads, it will be a large-scale outbreak. If individuals do a good job of personal disinfection and protection, it will reduce the spread! I am a doctor, I must explain this to everyone."
She remembered that a "Health Yearbook" she had read at the time recorded that in 1980, the incidence rates of meningitis and measles were both at the top.
This means that the vaccine is not yet widely available and a series of measures are still not in place.
There is nothing wrong with taking the initiative to protect your health for yourself and others.
"I understand. We all understand." Aunt Tong nodded repeatedly.
