Cholera, once described as one of the terrible plagues that devastated the planet.According to the current authoritative theory, this symptom is mainly caused by the contamination of food or water sources by Vibrio cholerae, which is an acute diarrheal infectious disease.Once infected, patients can cause diarrhea, dehydration, and even death within a few hours.In the history of the world.There have been seven major outbreaks, and no less than 150 million people have been killed by cholera, according to recorded statistics.In many places, after cholera, the bodies of patients are buried directly without statistics, or even exposed to the wilderness, so the real number of patients killed is much more than that.The impact of cholera in China is much lower than in India, where cholera is endemic, but more than 10 million people have still been killed in history.Earlier, due to medical limitations, the mortality rate of patients infected with this disease was as high as 76%.Since the early nineteenth century.After the idea of intravenous infusion theory for the treatment of cholera was proposed, the research on replenishing the water and electrolytes lost by the human body due to diarrhea pointed out the direction for the treatment of cholera.Later, a vaccine against cholera was successfully developed, and the vicious epidemic of cholera was largely controlled.To this day, there are still about 300,000 cholera outbreaks worldwide each year, but the case fatality rate is only 1 percent.It stands to reason that cholera has now lost the conditions for a large-scale outbreak.Because both pathological and infectious conditions have been summarized into a system, once an outbreak occurs, it only needs to be treated step by step.However, according to the reports from the front, the cholera outbreak this time is different from the previous cholera, not only is it more contagious, but even the several coping measures commonly used in the world have no effect.In other words, the cholera outbreak in Zhoutian Town should be regarded as an enhanced version."
What's the situation in Zhou Tianzhen now," Chen Yi asked out loud."
Before we knew the situation, Guangyue was worried about the spread of the epidemic and had already locked down Zhoutian Town."
Huang Zhu said worriedly: "Now we have sent three comprehensive expert groups to the scene and mobilized a large number of materials.But at present, the epidemic has not been controlled, and even one of the team leaders has died in the line of duty. ”"When did I get this report?"
asked Chen Yi."
Yesterday afternoon," Huang Zhu replied."
What about the latest developments?"
asked Chen Yi.Huang Zhu hesitated slightly, and then dialed the phone on the table.Soon, the secretary brought in the latest epidemic progress report from the front.It's not just Huang Zhu.Even Chen Yi was taken aback by the report.There are no statistics on the latest number of infected people for the time being, but the number of victims has risen to eight hundred, Huang Zhu's lips trembled for a while, and he asked loudly: "Can you handle this matter?"
"I don't know the specific situation."
I can't guarantee it either. ”Chen Yi replied.Cholera has a lot of records in traditional Chinese medicine, in addition to the earliest Yellow Emperor's Neijing, there is even a medical book called Cholera Treatise specifically for this disease.However, in the face of this situation, traditional Chinese medicine still adopts more preventive methods, and the effect is very limited."
I think you should know the severity of this matter."
Huang Zhu is colorful."
I don't force it, you can choose to go or not to go.""
Don't think I'm talking the other way, now that Chinese medicine has improved, you don't need to take any more risks."
Huang Zhu then added."
But personally, I still hope you can come over.Since you are a doctor, you should be responsible.And in this matter, if you can make meritorious contributions, it will be much better than if you promote Chinese medicine from the sidelines. ”"I'll go," Chen Yi said with a solemn expression.He really doesn't need to take risks because of this matter now, but if he is afraid just because of some honors, wouldn't he put the cart before the horse, but lose the original purpose of Chinese medicine to treat diseases and save people, even if such Chinese medicine develops, how much achievement can it have, and for a doctor with excellent medical skills, if there is an opportunity to apply what he has learned, who will refuse the Chinese Medicine Physicians Association.When Chen Yi entered, Zhao Lao and the others were already waiting inside.With such a serious epidemic, the guild members have naturally been keeping track of the progress of the matter."
There's not much time left, so I'll cut it short."
Chen Yi sat down and said."
Minister Huang has already talked to me just now, and I have also promised to go to the epidemic site, does anyone want to go together" "We have already discussed it before, if we hadn't received a call from you.I'm afraid we're already in the past. ”Mu Chengye said with a smile."
I'm ready."
Yu Jidao, who was sitting on the side, also nodded."
There's a lot going on here, so we don't have to go through it all."
Chen Yi shook his head and said, "This time, I will be represented by Elder Zhao, and President Lu. ”"Why" Yu Jidao hurriedly said, "My medical skills are not very good."
I'm not denying your medical skills, it's just that there is really no need to go to so many people in this matter. ”Chen Yi replied with a smile: "Besides, there are still things to deal with here in Yanjing, what if you go to Yanjing, what if something happens here" There is also a little scruple Chen Yi did not say that the danger of this trip is far beyond many people's expectations.Every health care worker entering the affected area is now required to be vaccinated against cholera, but there are still people who have been infected.If you have a choice.Chen Yi will even go alone.Needless to say, the experienced Zhao Lao himself has treated two cholera patients.And Lu Mingzhe is much more comprehensive than everyone else, and can deal with some unexpected situations.If there is no way to go to such a combination, I am afraid that no matter how many people go, it will not help.Yu Jidao hesitated for a while, and then fell silent.Although Chen Yi replied with a smile, there was no doubt about the firmness in his tone.At this time, Yu Jidao realized that he had matured a lot compared to when they first met two years ago, and he was no longer the child who was calculated by him all day long how to lead to the Tao."
Then it's decided."
Zhao Lao knocked the cigarette gun on the table and clapped the board.Although it has been silent.When Chen Yi and Zhao Lao and his entourage appeared at the airport, the news that Chen Yi led Yungangtang to the epidemic area still spread.It's no wonder that such a big news event gathers almost all the media events around the world, and any news related to the epidemic can now be said to be the focus of media coverage."
Chen Yi has gone to the epidemic area, and I don't know if there is a way for traditional Chinese medicine to control the epidemic.""
Chinese medicine is all about joining in the fun, and I think they may just go for gilding.If they had a way, they would not have allowed cholera to ravage in China several times. ”"Upstairs, you go to the epidemic area to try gold-gilding at this time.""
Regarding the news that Chen Yi rushed to the epidemic area, there are supporters and many opponents.Many people think that traditional Chinese medicine is purely to rub off on the heat, and it is completely useless to the current epidemic.He even came up with some methods in the cholera theory of traditional Chinese medicine and criticized them separately.It wasn't until Huang Zhu publicly announced to the media that Chen Yi was invited back from the Nobel Prize review meeting in Sweden by him.Some of the unfavorable remarks against TCM have dissipated somewhat.Chen Yi and his entourage arrived in Yangcheng by special plane, and then were taken to Tonghua County, where Zhoutian Town, the epidemic area belongs.Assimilation has now become an emergency transit point, and in addition to being responsible for receiving and transporting medical supplies, the current headquarters for the outbreak has also been established here."
Hello, I am the commander-in-chief of this epidemic, Fu Guo."
A middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes picked up Chen Yi and his entourage, and immediately introduced: "I have received Minister Huang's call, and you can put forward any needs at any time." ”"If there is no problem, we want to enter the epidemic area as soon as possible."
Chen Yi replied."
Aren't you resting?"
asked Fu Guo."
No need."
Chen Yi shook his head and said."
Then I will arrange for someone to vaccinate you as soon as possible, and by the way, introduce the situation in the epidemic area."
Fu Guo nodded
