This time, the nurse no longer believed that the initial phone call was from someone's mother who rushed over after hearing that her son was injured; she now saw it as a scam.
How can this be?
If he were just mistaken for a fraudster, that would be one thing, but the crucial point is that Li Lechen is genuinely injured—not only is his leg injured, but his brain is also damaged. What's the point if he doesn't even recognize his own mother and is left in the hospital?
So the young nurse immediately thought of the function of the community neighborhood committee and decided to call the neighborhood committee auntie.
The first person to call the neighborhood committee auntie was a nurse in the isolation treatment area.
The call was connected.
The nurse spoke succinctly: "Director Chen, I'm a nurse from Yunhe First People's Hospital. We've confirmed a case of SW18 virus infection here. He hasn't shown any symptoms yet, but we can't contact his family. His name is..."
She rattled off a whole string of information, not daring to miss a single word. To put it nicely, as the head of the neighborhood committee, she had the final say in the entire large committee; to put it bluntly, she was responsible for handling all sorts of trivial matters.
Moreover, the SW18 virus is more important than anything else.
Therefore, Director Chen remembered the name Li Lechen firmly. She decided that after hanging up the phone, she would not only call Li Lechen's family immediately but also conduct a home visit to understand the specific situation. After understanding the situation, she would compile a detailed report, which would be submitted to the street office and the city government. Furthermore, this work could also be compiled into a publicity article and published in both traditional and new media as a distinctive feature of the community's work.
After hanging up with the nurses in the isolation treatment area of Yunhe First People's Hospital, Director Chen immediately wanted to call Li Lechen's mother.
Just as I was about to dial, the phone rang.
It's another landline phone number, and it looks quite similar to the previous one.
Answering a call is obviously more important than making an outgoing call. So Director Chen answered it without hesitation.
The voice on the other end of the phone was still a woman's, but it wasn't the same voice as before, though the tone was very similar: "Director Chen, I'm a nurse from Yunhe First People's Hospital. We admitted an injured person from yesterday's Xinhai Bridge accident, but we can't contact his family. His name is..."
Similarly, a whole bunch of information.
Director Chen initially took notes diligently. Although she found it a bit strange that both phone calls were from Yunhe First People's Hospital, the information points were different, so she needed to treat it as a separate matter.
However, Director Chen was furious when he heard about the personal information.
"Why is it Li Lechen again?!"
Director Chen blurted out this question over the phone. The previous one, named Li Lechen, living in Jiahe Community, was fine. But now there's another one also named Li Lechen, also living in Jiahe Community?
There may be more than one person named Li Lechen, and there may be more than one Li Lechen living in Jiahe Community, but there are various other pieces of information that are exactly the same, so it must be the same person.
The nurse on the phone seemed a little confused, so she asked in return, "What's wrong with Li Lechen?"
"Your hospital just called me to say that Li Lechen has been infected with the SW18 virus."
Director Chen brought up the matter directly over the phone, clearly annoyed.
The nurse on the other end of the phone was stunned.
SW18 virus?!
Although this virus is now widely known, this widespread awareness is terrifying. She is just an ordinary nurse in a ward, and she is still very far removed from SW18 virus infected people. Now they are saying that Li Lechen is infected with the SW18 virus?
You know, I visited his ward just this morning. If he was already infected with the SW18 virus, wouldn't I be in great danger without any protection? Wouldn't the other patients in his ward be in even greater danger? You know, those patients all had injuries and were more susceptible to infection when they were weakened!
What's going on?
Director Chen of the neighborhood committee was even more frustrated than the nurse: "Luckily, I didn't call their parents directly. What were you thinking? How can you be the same as the SW18 virus infection and the Xinhai Bridge accident? How could you get the wrong person like that?"
After saying that, Director Chen hung up the phone immediately.
In comparison, Director Chen trusted the first phone call more. Firstly, people are more prone to preconceived notions, so the first call's account resonated with him more deeply. Secondly, compared to injuries sustained in the Xinhai Bridge accident, the risk of contracting the SW18 virus was much higher, so Director Chen had reason to believe the nurse who made the first call was more professional and unlikely to make a mistake.
Both calls came from Li Lechen in Jiahe Community, and both were from Yunhe First People's Hospital. Since the content of the first call was true, the mistake lies in the second call.
However, without a second call, Director Chen would have had to call Li Lechen's mother directly. According to her original plan, this would involve not only making the call but also visiting her home and writing various reports. But now, she decided to postpone the matter for a while and let the hospital investigate thoroughly.
As a result, the fact that could have been discovered immediately was deliberately delayed.
However, the nurses in the regular ward still reported the situation. Their job was to call the family of the injured man, Li Lechen, but not only did the family think she was a scammer, but even the neighborhood committee aunties thought she was one. Either they were mentally unstable, or the information was incorrect.
