Chapter 315 What is this disease? !
Gretel subconsciously took a step back.

It's not disgusting, but try to stay away from the source of infectious diseases, and don't get pathogens on the patient—or the patient's family members.After all, he doesn't have a no-clean sterilizing gel now, wherever he goes, he rubs it wherever he goes.

Mrs. Bayland was picked up immediately and sent to the ward.Gretel watched her go away, and then looked at the entrance of the hospital. The patients who were being brought in continuously felt the pressure on their shoulders as heavy as a mountain.

He's never had that kind of pressure on his shoulders.

In his previous life, he was just a deputy chief physician in the emergency department. When he found a suspected serious infectious disease, he would report it to the director, dean, and CDC.

Besides, he is emergency surgery, surgery!The first batch of colleagues who dealt with infectious diseases were basically internal medicine... Even when he was needed to go into battle, there were doctors from internal medicine to provide consultations, and doctors from the laboratory, ultrasound, and imaging departments to give reports. Doctors in the anesthesiology department monitor the patient's vital signs...

If the strength is not enough, there are other hospitals in the city. In case of a catastrophe, there are also medical staff from the province and the whole country.

Even in Hartland City, he has teachers, a bald bishop, and many teachers and friends to rely on.And now, it is he who stands at the forefront to face this plague and countless diseases, pain and death!

He was the head of the Division of Public Health and the first director of the Hospital for Infectious Diseases.It was him that everyone was looking at, and everyone was waiting for.

Gretel now feels as if he is standing alone in the middle of the Qiantang River, facing the surging tide.The tide was turbulent and turbulent, at first it was just a line, and gradually converged inward along the trumpet mouth, the waves were getting higher and higher, like galloping horses, like giant elephants, when they came to him, they had already roared and swept him down, almost tossing him MadeIn:

"Patient No. 1 on the first floor suffered from severe abdominal pain and almost passed out!"

"Patient No. 1 on the first floor has abdominal pain and bloating, and his stomach is so distended that he has rolled out of bed three times!"

"Patient No. 2 on the second floor vomited blood!"

"Three more patients have passed out! The treatment power is not enough!"

"Sir, are you going to the medical branch to ask for someone?"

"gentlemen……"

"gentlemen……"

I have to hold on, I can't panic... Gretel silently encouraged himself.Calm down, calm down, the core of the problem now is, what kind of disease is this?

Abdominal pain, diarrhea, most likely an intestinal infectious disease.However, combined with abdominal distension and constipation at the same time... typhoid or paratyphoid?Bacillary dysentery?Bacterial food poisoning?cholera?Vice cholera?Bacterial diarrhea?Viral enteritis?
Gretel filtered them one by one in his heart.He stopped looking at the endless stream of patients at the entrance of the hall, turned around and ran to the ward.While walking briskly, he asked:
"Have the results of the sampling test been obtained? Have the results of the patient's stool microscopy come out? What about the results of the bacterial culture?—Let them hurry up! Speed ​​up!"

After speaking, he rushed into the first ward.He had been in the map room before, or it could be regarded as the command center of the infectious disease hospital, checking the source of all the cases: most of them were in the 12 buildings of the nobleman, and a small number of those who got sick outside were also residents of the building.Are there any new patients around the patients who have developed diseases abroad?Do you want to block and isolate along the trajectory of the patient?
None of these Gretes are clear yet.All he can do for the time being is to let the Mage Tower speed up the production of disinfectant, speed up the disinfecting, and at the same time place an urgent order with the Thunder Tower.As for determining what the disease is, the test results can only provide a part of the reference. After all, their culture and microscopic examination methods are very crude, and many reagents are not available.

The other part of the key information comes from the examination of the patient.

He came to check himself!These students are not professional medical students. He personally checked the body and can see more things than the students!
Gretel walked quickly into the ward.In the first few rooms on the first floor, all the patients who have been healed by various temples are sent. Now they have recovered or are in remission, and they are lying on the bed to rest.Gretel directly skipped these rooms and walked to Ward No. 4 in one breath.

There was chaos in the ward.The hospital was understaffed and unable to help every patient go to the toilet, so they had to put a wooden basin or barrel by each bedside and let them pull up the curtain to help themselves.Gretel looked over from bed to bed:

Watery stools, watery stools, black stools, bloody stools... nothing in this one, constipation, bloating, this is also bloating, this is bloating, abdominal pain...

"How do you feel? Stomach pain? Where does it hurt? Lay down on your back and let me check it out for you..."

The middle-aged woman curled up on the bed was already dying.When Gretel pressed her hand, she only hummed weakly.Gretel pressed hard with his palm, continued to press down, and then let it go quickly. The middle-aged woman struggled painfully—tenderness, rebound pain.Fortunately, it was not a plate abdomen, and there were no obvious signs of peritonitis.

Gretel comforted her a few words, and continued to look at the next one.This one had abdominal pain, bloating, and moderate fever. Gretel asked, not only was he constipated, but he didn't even fart...

stop exhaust?Gretel took out the [Endless Ink Pen] and quickly made a magic X-ray for the patient.In the meditation environment, the liquid level can be seen, the abdominal fat line is blurred, the ascending colon is inflated and expanded, and there is free gas under the diaphragm.There are signs of peritonitis, but it is not serious. It looks like acute intestinal obstruction, but I feel that something is wrong...

"Grete, what's the situation now?" Pastor Matthew hurried over.After sending the patients, he has been busy in the ward, treating one after another, and he didn't stop until the last two healings were left.He is older than Gretel and has rich experience. He has been thinking about it on the way to send the patient.Seeing Gretel now, he asked casually:
"What kind of sickness is this?"

"Yes, what is the disease?" A bishop of the God of War Temple also asked.Gretel couldn't help laughing when he looked up. The person who came here was the one who watched him write the medical records that night and tortured him to explain the medical records.He nodded in greeting:
"Bishop Sullivan!"

"Hmm, um." Bishop Sullivan nodded indiscriminately, "What kind of disease do you think this is? Cholera?"

"It's not cholera." Gretel quickly replied, "I have constipation, abdominal distension, and black stools, but no rice swill-like stools. Cholera should be ruled out...Let me think about it..."

"The typhoid fever?" Another priest from the Spring Water Temple followed suit.Gretel continued to shake his head:

"It's not like... the incubation period of typhoid fever, oh, it's the period before a person gets sick after being infected. It will be longer. Patients are usually sent over one after another, ranging from mild to severe. As it is now, at least The illness is very urgent, and a large number of patients are sent within a few hours, but typhoid fever can't do it..."

"Is that food poisoning?" Another loud voice cut in.As soon as Gretel looked up, he quickly saluted:
"Mage of Torga!"

"Don't waste time!" Master Tolga waved.He then turned to the ward and cast two spells quickly.Surrounded by white light, the pain of the patient on the bed was relieved immediately, and he could already half sit up.Master Tolga asked seriously:

"Is there enough manpower now? Shall I call more people? — By the way, what's going on with these people? Are they all fed up? Is the water source polluted?"

"At present, the water source is also considered to be polluted." Gretel replied respectfully: "But the main features of gastrointestinal food poisoning are nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, excluding constipation and abdominal distension. Constipation and abdominal distension will also occur. What kind of disease is it?" Disease, I am still investigating."

"Is the water source polluted?"

"The water supply is also being tested. But Master, the pollution of the water source is just a sign. We are still looking for the cause of what kind of thing polluted the water source and how to treat it in a targeted manner. Call more people - of course it is good, but, no To find out the reason, it may not be enough to call people!"

"Not enough?" Master Torga raised his eyebrows. "Do you know how many people in the medical branch are here?"

"I……"

All I know is that in the worst case, the 50 people in Nevis can infect half of them!
Gretel bowed his head and didn't reply.And in the corridor, a series of footsteps have hurriedly approached:
"Sir, there are more than 200 patients now!"

"People in the quarantine area are getting sick one after another!"

"Another 15 patients are critically ill! Emergency treatment is needed!"

"There are still patients who keep coming..."

"Abnormal bacteria were detected in the tap water of 10 patients' homes! Bacterial culture and experiments are being done!"

"Sir, do you want to test the pipelines of the entire building?"

Gretel lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then slowly raised his head. "Those 12 buildings—how many households are there in those 12 buildings? How many people live there?"

Master Torga also followed his gaze.In front of Gretel, the boy who ran over with his notebook was panting and sweating profusely.He lowered his head and flipped through two pages of the book, moved his lips lightly, and quickly gave the answer:

"There are about 900 to 1200 households, and the total number of residents is 3600 to 6000."

The number ranges from 6000 to [-] people.Gretel turned to the Torga mage:

"Even if the spread of the plague is not counted, we have to be prepared for 1000 to 3000 people to get sick within a day or two. Is the healing power enough for the three sects and the medical branch?"

The Torga mage immediately misfired.When he walked in just now, he had a quick look at it, and everything he saw was serious.The Magic Council once estimated that for a plague like the Black Death, the Magic Council could treat up to 500 people a day.And there are 500, 2500, more patients after the plague spreads...

"Then what are you going to do? Can your infectious disease hospital handle it?"

he asked with concern.Gretel bowed deeply:
"Your Excellency, Archmage, please invite as many colleagues from the medical branch as possible. As for the others—please give me some time, I will go to the laboratory to see if I can find out the culprit of this plague!"

Gretel turned his head away and hurried to the testing room.Wearing protective clothing, passing through the airlock, and entering the red zone, as soon as I stepped into the room, I heard a few students wearing heavy epidemic medical uniforms, and they were still thinking about arguing there:
"You did it wrong!"

"What you did was wrong! Why did it change after training!"

"It must be your slippery hand!"

Gretel: "...what's going on?"

****
Guess what the disease is?

Those who have seen the answer in the group before are not allowed to say it!

 Thanks to @cutonshary for the 1500 starting coins

  Last month, the number of monthly tickets exceeded 1000, and a prize of 100 yuan was drawn in the lottery. Thank you everyone! (I’m not very lucky. It seems that the biggest prizes include app splash screens and site-wide banners, 10000 yuan in cash...but if I’m lucky enough to get the smallest prize, I’m satisfied)
