Next, Tian Cai checked on several people, whose symptoms varied in severity.
The mild symptoms now are just fever and vomiting, and some diarrhea is not serious, at least I can control myself and go to the toilet to deal with it.
The more serious cases are like the woman just now. She is still somewhat conscious, but has severe abdominal pain, cold hands and feet, occasional convulsions, and bloody stools.
Some of the more serious cases are on the verge of dehydration and require intravenous intervention.
After walking around, Tian Cai met Zhang Wenshan in the ward on the first floor.
"Teacher, I still think it's dysentery," Tian Cai told him everything he had just seen, focusing on the symptoms of several patients. "It should be dysentery caused by epidemic toxins."
Zhang Wenshan nodded. He had just taken the pulse of several people and his conclusion was the same as Tian Cai's.
"What recipe do you think?"
Tian Cai: "Huanglian Jiedu Decoction combined with Baitouweng Decoction can clear away heat, detoxify, cool the blood, open the orifices and extinguish wind."
Zhang Wenshan didn't say it was right or wrong, but just let Tian Cai try it himself. "I just asked, and the medical teams that came before are all responsible for the serious cases. The mild cases here are temporarily handed over to us. Doctors from other places will be coming here in the next few days."
The mild symptoms were already like this, and Tian Cai couldn't imagine what the severe symptoms were like. Fortunately, they had brought most of the necessary medicinal herbs. Tian Cai selected several herbs such as Scutellaria baicalensis, Coptis chinensis, and Phellodendron chinense according to the prescription and boiled them.
She didn't dare add dew water rashly. As long as it was the right medicine, she would definitely see the effect after taking one dose of the decoction.
There was no need to pick out those with mild symptoms, so he directly brought the bowl of medicine to the woman in the blue coat he saw first.
The woman was still drowsy at this moment, but fortunately she was still conscious and knew how to swallow. Tian Cai helped her up and fed her the medicine bit by bit with the bowl.
When she came back from sending Yaowan to be cleaned and disinfected, she saw a short and strong man in a white coat hurriedly coming down from upstairs.
He doesn't look like a doctor, but more like a soldier.
"I'm so sorry. You've come all the way here to help, but as the host, I haven't even done my best to welcome you!" The man looked to be in his forties, and even with a mask on, he couldn't hide his tired face. It was obvious that he hadn't had a good rest in days.
"Let's not dwell on that. What really matters is getting through this difficult time." Zhang Wenshan stepped forward. The two shook hands and discussed the current situation. "How many cases have there been so far?"
Tian Changsheng sighed deeply and said, "There are currently 322 people on record."
That is to say, there are still some that are not recorded.
He continued, "There shouldn't be many cases that aren't recorded. This is the reclamation center of the 18th Agricultural Division of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps. Most people are quite aware and know that they have infectious diseases and need to be treated centrally. However, there's no guarantee that there aren't some timid people hiding at home. During this time, the health center alone has carried out over 20 bodies..."
Speaking of this number, Tian Changsheng couldn't help but pause. Many of the bodies carried out were familiar faces to them. They were still full of energy a few days ago, but they were gone in an instant. He said uncomfortably, "Director Qi is also in a coma in the intensive care unit..."
Ever since the epidemic was discovered, Dean Qi has been fighting on the front line, working tirelessly to find a treatment method, but he has never found any effective method.
Staying with infected patients every day, even if he took the most effective protective measures, Dean Qi soon became infected.
Ever since he developed fever symptoms, he has regarded himself as a medicine man and tried various medicines personally. It cannot be said that there is no effect at all. At least it took him longer than anyone else to develop from a mild condition to a severe condition. Now he just continues to have a fever and is in a coma, and the bloody stool only appeared today.
But Dean Qi's originally thick hair had fallen out in just a few days, and now you can see his shiny scalp.
This shows how much harm these drugs can do to the body.
When Guo Wei heard that the director had collapsed, he hurriedly asked, "Who is the person in charge of the health center now?"
"I'll take over temporarily until Dean Qi returns," Tian Changsheng said, rubbing his forehead tiredly. "Thankfully, the various medical teams have arrived one after another. I'll quickly coordinate with people to set up some tents in the open space nearby so we can re-divide the treatment into different areas."
"I heard that those downstairs have mild symptoms?" Zhang Wenshan asked, remembering the news he had just heard from several people in white coats.
"Director Qi asked everyone to be divided into groups according to the severity of their illness, giving priority to treating patients with mild and moderate symptoms..." Tian Changsheng spoke in detail with several people about the current situation in several wards. As for the issue of treating patients with mild and moderate symptoms first, it was also discussed by various medical teams.
He also knew that this was equivalent to giving up on seriously ill patients, but there was nothing they could do. There were simply too few doctors. If mild and moderate cases were left untreated, they would quickly turn into severe cases. Currently, there was no treatment for severe cases, so they could only wait to die.
They will waste a lot of time in the process, so it would be better to focus on patients with mild and moderate symptoms from the beginning.
Zhang Wenshan sighed. It was indeed like that. If it were him, he would make the same decision. However, no one knew what kind of difficulties he would have to go through in his heart to make this choice.
"Most mild cases are like this, and the symptoms are similar. After continuous bloody stools, the person will fall into a coma, and then the condition will turn into a serious one. But there is also good news. We haven't seen any patients with swelling all over their bodies recently." Tian Changsheng said.
I don’t know if it was a virus mutation or something else, but after those people were burned, they never appeared again.
Tian Cai raised his wrist to check the time and felt that the medicine was almost taking effect. He quietly left from the back and went to the woman.
The woman was still a little groggy, her eyes opening and closing, and she seemed to be in better spirits than before.
Tian Cai reached out to her wrist again, feeling the pulse beneath his fingers.
After a while, she couldn't help but frown. Something was wrong!
If this was a common toxic bacillary dysentery, Huanglian Jiedu Decoction combined with Baitouweng Decoction would be the perfect treatment. But now it was almost useless. The woman's condition had not improved much compared to before.
He clearly looks better, but there isn't much change in his pulse.
Tian Cai was puzzled. She carefully compared the pulse condition just now with the current one, and asked the woman to stick out her tongue for inspection. The tongue was red, with a greasy yellow coating, and there was no change.
The woman saw the young doctor with his eyelids drooping and not saying a word, and she felt her heart growing heavier.
She was afraid she would not see her daughter get married.
