Chapter 1112: Infected
"Just this morning, three patients have already passed away. The characteristics of this virus are fever, red sores and blisters appearing on the patient's body, followed by oozing blood, then fever again, and finally death from severe infection," the hospital director sighed.
"This virus is contagious. With your isolation ward conditions being so poor, how could you possibly achieve complete isolation?" Liu Ying's expression changed, and she scolded, "Are you being this irresponsible?"
"This..." the hospital director didn't know what to say.
He was also clear about how severe the danger of this disease was, but there was no help for it; the conditions here were just like this, and he had already done his best.
However, standing in front of Liu Ying, he didn't know what to say. After all, these were distinguished guests from Huaxia. Currently, S Country was almost abandoned by the whole world, and only Huaxia had sent a medical team, with all medical equipment and aid to be delivered subsequently.
"Miss Liu, do you think this is back home?" Chen Yu spoke up, walking forward. "S Country has just ended its turmoil. Not to mention their poor medical conditions, these things are already everything they could scrape together from all the nearby counties."
"Yes, this is already the best we can provide," the hospital director looked dejected.
"Then these conditions are far too poor. Everyone, get your protection ready; we are going into the ward to take a look. Xiao Li, Xiao Zhang, you two go and extract blood from the deceased for testing," Liu Ying put on her protective mask and goggles, then turned to say to the two nurses.
"Understood, Professor Liu," the two nurses also finished their preparations.
Liu Ying was indeed capable. After carefully observing the ward, she said to her assistant, "Record this: ordinary antibiotics are ineffective against the virus; the virus's contagion level is medium-low."
"The source of infection is unknown. The time from onset to death is no more than seventy-two hours. Additionally, after the patient develops a high fever, red sores and blisters will appear on the body, subsequently oozing blood, similar to burns. Switch to domestically produced antibiotics plus high protein, and we will check the situation again in two hours."
The assistant recorded everything Liu Ying said, and after thinking for a moment, Liu Ying added a few more points.
"Mr. Chen, regarding this situation, do you have any good solutions?" Su Qingcheng also stepped forward to look at the situation, then asked Chen Yu.
"This type of illness is known as a plague in Traditional Chinese Medicine," Chen Yu said. "It's just that contemporary plagues have high multiplicity, so they were not recorded in ancient texts."
"Su Qingcheng, you two just watch from here. I already said, Traditional Chinese Medicine has no effect on these things," Liu Ying glanced coldly at Su Qingcheng.
"But that does not mean Traditional Chinese Medicine has no way to treat it," Chen Yu said.
"Mr. Chen, do you have a way?" Su Qingcheng was delighted; she looked up at Chen Yu.
"I do. The Sweat Steaming Method, combined with acupuncture and internal administration of traditional Chinese medicine, can alleviate the condition very quickly. It's just that there are no Chinese herbs in this place, so I need to go to the mountain to gather some," Chen Yu said. "The simple symptoms are not troublesome; one dose of Toxin Repellent Powder will suffice."
"But considering the complexity of the virus and the possibility of recurrence after recovery, it is best to add a Medicinal Bath after acupuncture; that would be foolproof," Chen Yu said.
"Really? What herbs do you need? I'll go gather them with you," Su Qingcheng said happily. "I have a high level of recognition for Chinese herbs."
"Good," Chen Yu nodded.
"You two, stop causing trouble here. This virus is very similar to the Eman Virus that was prevalent in Africa last year, and it has a faster onset time and greater severity than last year's."
Liu Ying poured a bucket of cold water over the two of them: "The World Health Organization doesn't have any good methods for this disease, and furthermore, this is an upgraded version. Traditional Chinese Medicine and herbs can cure it? What kind of international joke are you two making?"
"Do you think I'm joking with you?" Chen Yu glanced at Liu Ying.
This woman thought too highly of herself. Originally, Chen Yu didn't want to lower himself to her level, as people's realms were different after all, but this woman was frantically trying to assert her presence in front of Chen Yu. If he didn't show her some color, this woman would really think of herself as someone important.
"Isn't it? I said, Traditional Chinese Medicine is quite good at bone-setting and treating male-related diseases; I admit that," Liu Ying said with a mocking face. "But as for you being able to cure this condition, forgive me for being blunt, I'm afraid you can't do it."
"There is too much science involved in this. Why can't Traditional Chinese Medicine enter international medical organizations? Why doesn't it get international recognition? Don't you have any idea? These things aren't done by playing little tricks."
"Teacher Liu, what you said seems to have gone too far," Su Qingcheng's expression changed. As someone from an Aristocratic Family of Traditional Chinese Medicine, she could not listen to such words.
"I am just speaking according to the facts. This virus is a variant of last year's epidemic virus, and although its contagiousness is not fierce right now, I think it will further mutate," Liu Ying scolded. "You two should just stop meddling here."
"If you don't try, how would you know? No need for medicine; I can make the patient basically recover just by performing Acupuncture, and then use internal and external medicine to completely eradicate it," Chen Yu took out his needles.
"Chen Yu, do you not understand what I mean? I am in charge here," Liu Ying stared coldly at Chen Yu. "If you insist on messing around, I will have to ask you to leave."
"You are in charge?" Chen Yu looked up and glanced at Liu Ying. "Are you sure?"
"It was always me in charge. I am the person in charge of this medical team. Now, in my capacity as the person in charge, I ask you to leave," Liu Ying stared at Chen Yu.
"Do you know why I am here?" Chen Yu took out his phone in a leisurely manner.
"I don't know, and it's not important," Liu Ying raised an eyebrow. "Get out."
"The reason I am here is because the big shot at the Ministry of Health specifically named me to come. He feels that only I can solve this problem," Chen Yu dialed a number. "I am Chen Yu. Now I demand full responsibility for the virus problem within S Country."
"Very well, Mr. Chen, please wait a moment. I will go ask for instructions now," the person on the other end, upon hearing it was Chen Yu, immediately spoke in a very respectful tone.
"Five minutes. If you can't get the instructions, you'll bear the consequences," Chen Yu said and hung up the phone directly.
"Who do you think you are?" Liu Ying sneered. Just by taking a phone and dialing a random number, he could replace her position as the person in charge? Does this kid have delusions, or has he just read too many novels?
"Then let's just wait. Anyway, it's only five minutes," Chen Yu laughed.
In less than a moment, Liu Ying's phone rang. She took out her phone and looked at the caller ID, and the arrogant expression on her face instantly stiffened. Replacing it with a beaming smile, she hurriedly answered the call.
