Physician’s Odyssey
Chapter 1317 An Isolated Island
Seeing Xie Jiaojiao coming out of the temporary treatment room, Ji Xiangjun asked in a low voice, "How many patients is this already?"
Xie Jiaojiao is the only Chinese in the medical team who is proficient in Talitjik, so she has always stayed with Su Tao and provided an interpreter at any time.As for Ji Xiangjun, although nominally Su Tao's assistant, he has now become a dispensable person, so Ji Xiangjun is a little bit lost in his heart.
Xie Jiaojiao took a water glass and a clean towel from Ji Xiangjun, and said, "I am already the eighteenth patient. Although Expert Su is very young and has good energy, he is very tired, and he is completely dependent on willpower. Persist in treating severely ill patients."
"This is not the same thing. There are too many seriously ill patients in Tali Village. With his own energy, he can't be treated at all. Or you can persuade him. If he exhausts himself, it will only change the situation. It's worse. He is the backbone of the entire medical team. Anyone can fall, but he can't." Ji Xiangjun said worriedly.
Xie Jiaojiao carefully observed Ji Xiangjun, and she could see that Ji Xiangjun’s feelings were sincere and sincere. She originally thought that Ji Xiangjun was nothing special except for her appearance. In short, it was a vase. But from the observation of Ji Xiangjun’s various performances, thank you Jiaojiao finally understood why Ji Xiangjun was chosen by Su Tao as an assistant because she was loyal to Su Tao.
Xie Jiaojiao nodded and said, "Well, I will persuade him, please don't worry."
In fact, Ji Xiangjun wanted to stay with Su Tao and help him treat the seriously ill patients, but he was driven out by Su Tao. Su Tao's reason was that there should not be too many people in the intensive care unit, because the infection rate is higher. In dealing with the patients, I still try to avoid too many people present. In addition, I feel that Ji Xiangjun is in the way and can't help.
In fact, Ji Xiangjun guessed some other reasons from Su Tao's tone. Su Tao was worried that he would be infected, but Su Tao had to take care of himself instead. Wouldn't it be that his duties were reversed?
"Actually, I envy you." Xie Jiaojiao suddenly felt, "Following expert Su, every day is wonderful, right?"
Ji Xiangjun was taken aback for a moment, and he secretly said in his heart that this is because you think too much. With Su Tao, thank God for not being scolded every day. As for the wonderfulness, she has never felt it.
Ji Xiangjun didn't tell the true thoughts in his heart, and replied in a relaxed tone: "Yes, you can see him challenge all kinds of incurable diseases every day, but sometimes he is numb."
Xie Jiaojiao's eyes flashed with excitement, "I understand what you mean, you think Expert Su will be able to successfully resolve the crisis in Tali Village!"
Ji Xiangjun was slightly startled. Through a woman's sixth sense, Xie Jiaojiao was full of admiration for Su Tao. Did she fall in love with Su Tao?Ji Xiangjun sneered in his heart. You haven't seen the true side of Su Tao, but you don't have such a gentleman on the surface.
Ji Xiangjun responded: "Yes, he should be able to resolve this crisis."
Xie Jiaojiao took the water cup and towel, and walked briskly into the treatment room. Su Tao has successfully completed the treatment process for another patient. Su Tao’s body is full of sweat. He treats the patient through the sky. A lot of physical strength, and more importantly, makes the vitality in the body deplete enormously.
"Expert Su, why don't you take a break?" Seeing that Su Tao's condition is not particularly good, Xie Jiaojiao persuaded softly.
"These patients can't wait!" Su Tao drank his saliva and said in a serious tone, "If I don't give them timely treatment now, they will have to endure great pain and even death. Now that we have come to the epidemic area, then Actual action is needed. My plan is to ensure that there are no deaths today."
"So that's it!" Xie Jiaojiao finally understood Su Tao's hard work, why Su Tao would fight like this!
Although there is no anti-virus agent that can effectively kill the virus, if the first day of the medical team arrives, the mortality rate in Tali Village can be effectively controlled, then it is a great improvement.
In this way, not only will the villagers have confidence in themselves, but the Talijik government will also change its attitude and continue to provide material assistance to Tali Village, and will not abandon this village that is ravaged by the virus.
Su Tao wiped his face with a towel, took a deep breath, and said, "How many patients are left?"
"There are more than 30, and there is still a steady stream of patients sent to the camp. It is estimated that there will be at least 70 severely ill patients." Xie Jiaojiao reported with some lack of confidence.
"It's only seventy!" Su Tao pretended to smile easily, "Believe in my strength, and you won't be disappointed!"
There is a saying that practice makes perfect. When Su Tao gave Haynes the control of the virus in his body, he did not have a special understanding of the virus, so it took a lot of time and energy, but as he came into contact with more and more patients, he was exposed to the virus. The symptom of the patient is already understood enough, will not do useless work, and the speed is getting faster and faster.
Although Xie Jiaojiao didn't understand Chinese medicine, she found that Su Tao's treatment efficiency had improved, and she couldn't help but sigh and sigh. It's no wonder that Su Tao will be regarded as one of the few geniuses in Chinese medicine for thousands of years.
Su Tao is immersed in his own research. Although he does not know what type of virus is, he has treated more and more critically ill patients and figured out the principle of its attack, which is mainly spread through the blood to the whole body and then cause damage to the liver. Damage, and then affect the spleen and kidney.
Su Tao’s inspiration flashed, and he quickly picked up a pen to write down a few medicinal materials, and then handed it to Xie Jiaojiao, with a solemn expression: "Hurry up and let Liao Huashi add these medicinal materials to the Siqi Decoction, because we have not fully prepared in advance, our I am afraid that the inventory is not enough, so we need to transfer some from outside."
Xie Jiaojiao volunteered, "I contacted my colleagues in the medical center and asked them to communicate with the government. Although the Talijik medicinal material market is not as developed as in China, they are used to using Chinese herbal medicine to treat diseases, so they should be able to allocate enough medicinal materials as soon as possible. ."
Su Tao nodded at Xie Jiaojiao and smiled: "Then I will trouble you."
Xie Jiaojiao can't talk about the beauty of the country, but she belongs to the attractive type. After getting along for a long time, she will feel that this girl has a very good personality and has her own unique charm.
Girls who have the courage to go abroad to assist in construction are all worthy of appreciation.Judging from the contact with Xie Jiaojiao, her family conditions should be good, and the family education and atmosphere are also good.
Xie Jiaojiao smiled charmingly at Su Tao, "This is my job, it's not troublesome."
Su Tao immediately resumed treatment, while Xie Jiaojiao walked outside the treatment room and dialed the phone for her colleague.
About half an hour later, Xie Jiaojiao returned to the treatment room. Her expression was a bit solemn. After Su Tao finished her work, she walked aside with Xie Jiaojiao and asked softly, "Is in trouble?"
Xie Jiaojiao nodded, with a wry smile on her face, "Just now I got the news that the route for transporting supplies has been destroyed. In a short time, we can't get outside support. Tali Village has become an island in a sense."
Su Tao quickly said to Xie Jiaojiao: "You must not tell anyone this news, only you and I know."
"I understand that once someone else knows it, it will weaken morale." Xie Jiaojiao smiled bitterly, "However, it won't last long. Our food is all given to the villagers. If there is no food tomorrow, everyone will find something wrong. It is iron rice or steel. If we lose external supplies, we don’t need viruses to kill us. We will be defeated by hunger first.”
Su Tao also has a headache. I didn’t expect that the situation would be so passive. It can be regarded as internal and external troubles. If we change to an ordinary person, it will definitely be like a headless fly in this situation, but Su Tao has encountered strong winds and waves, and he will not be affected. This problem is intimidating.
Su Tao called Yue Zun by satellite phone and explained the situation truthfully, "Uncle Shi, we encountered difficulties in Talijik. Although we have reached the village of Tali who needs rescue, the supply line was broken, so we are facing starvation. ending."
Yue Zun couldn't hold back, and squirted out the mouthful he had just drunk into his mouth, "I'm sorry, I'm sure, are you kidding me."
Su Tao was speechless and sighed: "Where am I in the mood to make a joke with you? The way the Talijik government handles the epidemic is really speechless. They almost cut off their daily supplies a week before we arrived in the village, so The villagers don’t even mention fighting the disease. Some people fall because of hunger almost every day. We didn’t bring much food, but when we arrived at the destination, we gave it all to the villagers.”
Yue Zun hurriedly said: "I didn't expect this aid operation to be so twisted, don't worry, I will call the Ministry of Foreign Affairs later, and communicate with the Talijik government through diplomatic means, so that they can clear the supply line as soon as possible. I will deliver you daily supplies."
Su Tao reminded: "In addition to daily supplies, there are also several kinds of herbs, which may have a very good inhibitory effect on the virus."
Yue Zun's eyes lit up, and he said with emotion: "That's really good news. I will coordinate now and I will reply to you as soon as possible."
Su Tao waited for Yue Zun to hang up, and sighed secretly. Suddenly, the lights in the treatment room went dark.
Su Tao quickly realized that the power supply system was also cut off. This is a rhythm that wants Tali Village to fall into an isolated island and fend for itself!
It was late, there was no light in the treatment room, and he couldn't continue to treat the patient. Su Tao felt a little heavy, walked outside, took a deep breath of air, not as fresh as expected, full of the traditional Chinese medicine smell of Siqi Decoction.
I saw a train coming not far away. Jacob jumped out of the passenger seat on crutches. He limped while walking. Xie Jiaojiao greeted him, exchanged a few words with Jacob, and immediately revealed With a happy smile, she waved to Su Tao and said: "Expert Su, Jacob knew that our temporary camp was out of power, so he moved the generator."
Su Tao sighed in relief and said with a smile: "Hurry up and install the generator so that I can treat a few more patients at night."
