Capítulo 1910: Chapter 1914: The Value of Doctors
It’s often said that grandparents have a special bond with their grandchildren.
This couldn’t be truer!
You can tell from the fact that Ji Ruyun and Qin Xiaoyuan co ho every day looking for Yangyang instead of Qin Yue!
Even Qin Yue holds such a place, let alone Chen Cang.
The aning Qin Xiaoyuan conveyed was already clear: If you co back from Tongci Town, don’t touch my grandson without taking an alcohol bath, soaking in a povidone-iodine hot spring, or drinking so disinfectant!
That day, Chen Cang set off with Deng Ming.
Since Deng Ming ca to Anyang, he has always been trained by Chen Cang in the ergency departnt.
To make him understand that ergency care is different from Doctors Without Borders.
Many aspects of ergency care, many diseases, many situations are not the sa as in those scenarios.
From Anyang to Tongci Town is quite a distance.
Chen Cang drove Zhang Zhixin’s SUV because Tongci Town is in a mountainous area, and although transportation has improved, issues are still inevitable.
It’s more convenient to drive an off-road vehicle!
This gave Chen Cang the idea of buying another car.
The car sped towards Tongci Town.
On the way, Deng Ming couldn’t help but ask, “Director, for this kind of thing… do you really need to go in person?”
Chen Cang didn’t respond, causing Deng Ming to blush with embarrassnt.
After a while, Chen Cang asked, “Then what kind of disease do you think requires my presence?”
Imdiately, Deng Ming was at a loss for words!
“Those major diseases? Difficult diseases? Head transplants? Or heart transplants?”
Upon reaching this point, Chen Cang said seriously, “Have you ever heard an old Chinese doctor say this phrase?”
“The superior doctor treats the unmanifested disease, the interdiate doctor treats the incipient disease, and the inferior doctor treats the manifested disease!”
“Diseases are like warfare; you must never underestimate your opponent!”
“This ti, pediatric diarrhea, you know it’s a rotavirus infection, but the sa place has already seen two deaths, and our hospital has several severe cases. I’ve shown you the lab reports too. If you were the director of the health commission, wouldn’t you take it seriously?”
Deng Ming remained silent.
Chen Cang continued, “Deng Ming, you have a good talent, strong ergency skillset, daring and willing to fight; I see all of this. But always rember, doctors must be not only bold but also ticulous!”
“To have a fierce tiger in the heart and a rose in the breath, that’s our industry. We must be as ticulous as hair strands to uncover the truth behind phenona!”
Pride in young people can really lead to setbacks.
Chen Cang felt that, among many in the ergency departnt, only Deng Ming truly embodies the nature of an ergency physician.
He stays calm in face of incidents, handles matters steadily.
Yet he never lags in action.
This quality is extrely rare and possibly attributed to Deng Ming’s years of service with Doctors Without Borders.
The ability to remain calm in extrely urgent situations is exceptionally rare.
These were Deng Ming’s drawbacks, but why had Chen Cang always left Deng Ming in the ergency departnt without intervention?
Because he greatly needed clinical honing; while Doctors Without Borders is excellent, they never truly understand that clinical doctors do not have it easy.
How to work within the rules, how to adapt to society and systems, these are equally important.
Moreover!
How to refine your skills to perfection!
The level of Doctors Without Borders, comparatively, is quite rough. After all, war conditions are limited, mortality rates are high, and saving lives is all that matters.
But life is different; it requires quality of life.
Consideration must be given to the feelings of the patients and their families.
And issues of dical ethics.
Here, Deng Ming seed to understand certain issues.
Chen Cang continued, “Have you ever encountered a plague?”
Upon hearing this, Deng Ming’s face suddenly changed!
How could he not have encountered it!
Back in Africa, he encountered Ebola, witnessed countless deaths yet was powerless; in Indonesia, he encountered H7N9, then the organization was forced to withdraw…
Because at that ti, they were already powerless!
Chen Cang continued, “Infectious diseases, are like small fires that start unnoticed on a grassland. At this mont, if you pay attention and extinguish it, it’s nothing!”
“But if you ignore it, think it doesn’t matter, and let a spark ignite a prairie fire, what can you do then?”
“At this point, you can’t extinguish the fire anymore; you can only cut the surrounding grass and let the fire burn itself out.”
Upon saying this, Chen Cang solemnly asked, “If this grass is people, what do you think?”
Hearing this, Deng Ming felt as if he were sitting on pins and needles!
He felt a deep fear within his soul!
Thinking of human lives as insignificant, ravaged by plague, Deng Ming suddenly felt small and terrified!
“Prevent problems before they arise, work with caution, that should be the attitude of a doctor!”
“Rotavirus is not scary, but have you considered that it is a double-stranded RNA virus, highly resistant to the external environnt, able to survive at room temperature for 7 months, in feces for several days or weeks. Acid- and alkali-resistant!”
“This virus can evolve!”
“After reviewing the patients’ lab reports, I noticed many lymphocytes in the stools, which isn’t right, definitely problematic.”
“So, I suspect that these rotaviruses have also evolved, and this ti the pathogenicity of rotavirus is relatively strong, causing more severe symptoms, so it should be taken seriously.”
“There are currently two deceased pediatric patients, I’ll go check and see if there’s anything abnormal.”
Deng Ming nodded.
Many roads in Tongci Town are mountain roads, taking over an hour on the winding mountain highway to reach the township health center.
Upon arrival, it was past seven, and it was already dark.
When Chen Bingsheng learned that Chen Cang had arrived, he ca to the hospital entrance to greet him.
The town mayor of Tongci Town, the hospital director, and the county health departnt director all ca.
Each of them had faces full of anxiety and unease!
After all, no one expected the deaths of two children to draw such significant attention?
“Welco, Professor Chen!” The hospital director of Tongci Town was a man in his fifties, a resident physician nad Jiao Jinwen, who was slightly bald and slightly chubby.
After a round of formalities, Chen Cang asked Chen Bingsheng, “How’s the investigation going?”
Chen Bingsheng slightly frowned, “A few experts from the virus research institute conducted tests on the collected samples, saying the rotavirus has not evolved, and the diarrheogenic NSP4 protein of rotavirus has not changed.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Cang couldn’t help but frown.
“Where are they?”
“Preparing to head back,” Chen Bingsheng was taken aback and couldn’t help but say.
At this ti, the director of the township health center in Tongci Town ca over, “Professor Chen, it’s late, you’ve been on the move all day, let’s first get sothing to eat and rest early.”
Chen Cang glanced at the ti; it had been three to four days since the incident occurred.
After a mont of hesitation, Chen Cang directly said, “I’m not hungry, I’ll go and take a look at the bodies of the children first.”
