Chapter 603: Bold assumptions, careful verification
Meilong Town is close to the sea and has received additional care from Gu Zhuxuan, adding Lu Xiyan's own influence. On the third day, a batch of supplies loaded with ten trucks arrived at the quarantine area. Please search on Baidu to enter this site.
"Uncle Lu, this is the first batch, there are the second batch and the third batch, and they will be transported here one after another." The escort who transported this trip was Gu Zhuxuan's nephew Gu Shuping.
Lu Xiyan and Gu Zhuxuan are friends and peers.
In this way, Gu Shuping Lu Xiyan was a generation younger. Although Lu Xiyan was no more than two years younger, he still called him "Uncle".
"Uncle Ping, don't call me uncle, call me Brother Lu, let's work with each other, don't listen to your uncle." Lu Xiyan has corrected it more than once, "You call me old."
"Okay, Brother Lu." Gu said, "In the future, in front of my uncle, I will call you Uncle Lu. If my uncle is not here, call you Brother Lu, otherwise my uncle will beat me to death."
"Hahaha……"
"Brother Lu, my uncle said, let me stay and help you, saying you lack personnel here?" Gu Shuping said eagerly.
"Have you received the cholera vaccine?"
"Of course, if I hadn't been vaccinated, my uncle wouldn't be willing to let me come."
"Okay, stay here, I'm short of people." Lu Xiyan did not refuse and agreed immediately. There were more and more registered patients and sent them, but there were so many people, so it was not enough.
"Then see what I can do?"
"You and your uncle's subordinates have no nursing experience. In this way, how about leaving the physical work of moving and lifting to you?"
"Okay, we are here to contribute our efforts. Don't worry, and I guarantee that we won't hold back." Gu Shuping slapped his chest and his chest and made a military order with Lu Xiyan on the spot.
"Download the supplies first." Lu Xiyan nodded.
With the joining of more than 30 young men brought by Gu Shuping, the nervous manpower of the medical team was greatly relieved in an instant.
Maybe I heard that there was a Red Cross medical team from the isolation area of Meilong Town. Anyone who heard the news and who had cholera patients at home started to send them here.
On the third day of the arrival of the medical team, more than 300 people were sent in.
This simply exceeded the carrying capacity of the isolation area at once. The food was easy to deal with, and the water resources were not enough at once. In addition to drinking, there was also water for sanitation and disinfection.
Especially the weather is hot and the amount of water is particularly large. The original spring can no longer meet the needs of the entire isolation area by relying on the original glance.
Lu Xiyan went directly to negotiate with Kazuhiro Ogawa, who was responsible for the safety alert in the isolation area.
"Mr. Ogawa, the number of patients in the isolation area has exceeded 1,500. With such a large population, in addition to eating, they also need to drink water. Why use water? In the past, there was a clear spring in the isolation area, which was barely enough. Now, we have also cleared the wells of Yizhuang. The water inside is purified and used for washing clothes and bathing, but these alone are still not enough."
"Dr. Lu, what are you going to do?"
"Method 1: You send someone to transport water to us every day. According to the standard of at least two liters per person per day, we can solve half of it ourselves, and the remaining half, and count the gap in our daily water is at least two tons!"
"What will my people deliver water to you?"
"A waterwheel or bucket, either."
"I'm afraid this won't work. My soldiers can only fight, but they won't deliver water." Kazuno Ogawa shook his head and disagreed. How could his soldiers deliver water to the Chinese people?
"There is only one way, allowing our people to go out of the quarantine area every day to get water." Lu Xiyan spread his hands and said, "If you don't send it, we can pick it ourselves, right?"
"No, no one is allowed to leave without approval after entering the isolation area. Otherwise, what should I do if the germs are brought out and the soldiers infected?" Ogawa Kazuno refused arrogantly.
"If you really want to do this, I will make your inhumane behavior public. By that time, people from all over the world will condemn you such brutal behavior!" Lu Xiyan was not afraid at all.
"Baga..." Kazuno Ogawa unconsciously held the command knife on his waist with his right hand.
"Kun Ogawa, agree to Dr. Lu's request. He really said he could do it." Fujimoto Shizuka followed him. When he heard the argument between Lu Xiyan and Kazuo Ogawa, he picked up the tent and walked in.
"Miss Shizuka, these are just lowly Chinese people. Why do you want to protect them so much?" Kazuo Ogawa said angrily to Shizuka Fujimoto in Japanese.
"Japan and the country are of the same clan and the same origin, how can they say that they are humble?" Fujimoto Shizuka scolded, "Kun Ogawa, don't say such things in the future."
After being scolded by Shizuka Fujimoto, Kazuo Ogawa had to bow his head and dare not refute it. His military rank was even lower than Shizuka Fujimoto. The Japanese army was a place where hierarchy was extremely important. The subordinates were absolutely obedient to the hierarchy, and this was not something that was said.
"Now, in the past, like Dr. Lu apologizes, be more sincere."
"Hayi!"
"Dr. Lu, I'm sorry, I just thought about the problem. Miss Shizuka has explained it to me. I would like to express my deep apology to you for this."
"It is great to know that mistakes can be corrected. Mr. Ogawa, please give me some convenience." Lu Xiyan, no matter what Shizuka Fujimoto said to Kazuko Ogawa and what kind of relationship it was, the problem now is that as long as the problem of water shortage in the isolation area can be solved, he does not want to cause trouble.
"The second method is to send someone to your medical team to get water under the supervision and escort of my soldiers. How much does it take and how much does it take?" Ogawa Ichino thought for a moment.
"It's so good." Lu Xiyan nodded. If the Japanese army were asked to deliver water to them, it would be hard to say whether they dare to drink the water they sent.
If you are fetching water by your own people, at least the safety of the water is guaranteed.
"Thank you, Miss Shizuka just now." After coming out of Ogawa Kazuno's command center, Lu Xiyan nodded slightly to Fujimoto Shizuka and thanked him.
"Dr. Lu is polite. Ogawa Jun is a soldier. Sometimes soldiers speak more directly. Please forgive me." Fujimoto Shizuka smiled slightly and nodded.
"I know, so if you have something to communicate next time, I hope Miss Shizuka can be present." Lu Xiyan nodded.
"Happy to serve." Fujimoto Shizuka said.
"Miss Shizuka, what do you think of the variant Vibrio cholerae that caused a large-scale infection this time?" Lu Xiyan asked.
"In the past two days, I have reviewed the health and epidemic prevention data in the surrounding areas of the sea for ten years. There are reports of cholera outbreaks almost every year. Wars and man-made disasters account for a large number of cases. Especially last year, cholera was also popular in the sea for a period of time. The concession was once nervous and everyone was in danger. However, although the infection rate was high, the mortality rate was not high, only about 7 or 8%. However, this year's cholera epidemic outbreak was too sudden, with a high infection rate, and its spread was also very fast. These are the characteristics of this variant of Vibrio cholerae that we have discovered." Shizuka Fujimoto said.
"Yes, some people only have four or five hours of death from infection to disease. If they are not treated in time, they will almost die. However, some people can survive, get effective treatment, and survive." Lu Xiyan said, "In addition to preventive measures, we must also find a way to interfere in the shortest time to win time for subsequent treatment. Only in this way can we die less."
"Doctor Lu has a solution?" Fujimoto Shizuka asked in surprise.
"I have some idea, but I still need to test it in practice to verify whether the method is effective." Lu Xiyan said.
“…”
Back in the quarantine area, Lu Xiyan and Ma called Wu Jinyun, Jim and Huo Xiaoyu together and held a brief meeting.
"We are still the previous method of treating cholera, first salt and then sugar, first fast and then slow, to correct acid and calcium, and see urine and potassium. Everyone has seen the treatment effect in the past two days, which is not satisfactory. Some severe patients, although we tried our best to rescue, still died. Of course, our treatment is not without effect, but the effect has not met our psychological expectations, and even far below our vision. Summoning everyone is to brainstorm whether there can be other ways to solve our current dilemma. No matter what the method is, as long as it is effective, we can use it."
"Dr. Lu, can the local method be fine?" asked a Tulang who was involved in the treatment.
"Yes, as long as it is effective, we don't care about what kind of medicine we have, Western medicine, as long as we can save people." Lu Xiyan is not an absolute theory of Western medicine.
"I have a prescription. Although not everyone is effective, after taking it, the patient's diarrhea frequency will drop a lot, which can at least delay the time of death."
"Okay, would you like to take out this recipe for everyone to use?"
"Of course, this is not a valuable prescription. As long as it can help everyone overcome cholera, what do I want to do?" Tulang said excitedly.
"Okay, after the meeting, you write down this prescription, let's study it and see how to use it." Lu Xiyan was very happy. It was the one who defeated the epidemic. If you don't even have confidence in yourself, then what else can you talk about?
"Dr. Lu, I have a way of thinking, but I don't know if it can be used. Tell me, don't laugh at me."
"You said, everyone laughed at you."
"My idea is enema therapy. We know that cholera bacteria enter from the mouth, enter the intestines of the human body, and then reproduce in large quantities to release toxins. As long as Vibrio cholerae continues to reproduce, it will continue to produce toxins. Our patients will have diarrhea and vomit continuously. If we can reduce the number of Vibrio cholerae in the intestines, the toxins produced will be reduced. The human body has its own metabolism and detoxification ability..."
The idea is bold, and it can be said that it is a way to die. Anyway, people have diarrhea that makes them so they simply use medicine to wash the intestines to reduce the concentration of Vibrio cholerae in the intestines.
This is a solution, but if you do so, the beneficial bacteria in the intestines will be cleaned together. It is hard to say whether it will bring other consequences.
If this method is done for animal testing, it will not be a big problem, but if it is used directly on the human body, the risk is too great and it will be effective. If it is ineffective, it will probably have some terrible consequences.
"I have a bold idea, but I can't use it directly on the patient. You can do animal tests first. If it is effective, you can try it." Lu Xiyan has basically denied this method. After all, there is no time for you to do animal tests now. After you determine the efficacy, it is estimated that the epidemic will be over.
Note: The treatment method written is purely the author’s bold imagination. If there is anything wrong, please criticize and correct me. After all, the author is not a doctor, and some of it can only rely on Kuma.
