Leisurely monastic life

Chapter 383 Angiostrongylus
In the emergency center of Kyoto Hospital, even the chairs in the aisle were full of patients.

This is not a case of food poisoning in the true sense, because the patient is not a poison, but a food-borne parasite, which mainly parasitizes in the human cerebrospinal fluid, causing symptoms such as headache, dizziness, fever, neck stiffness, and facial nerve paralysis. Severe cases can cause dementia and even death.This parasite is the larvae of Angiostrongylus hiding in snails.

"No, Director, we also ate this flavor of snails yesterday, and we also had this symptom, but someone else gave us medicine and it will be fine. It is impossible for this symptom to heal so quickly, right?" Xia Rusheng blurted out Said.

"How is it possible? After the diagnosis of Angiostrongylus, the main treatment is drug treatment, which takes an average of two to three weeks for each patient, and the cost is generally around 3000 yuan. Severe patients may take longer, and Headaches and dementia may still be left after recovery. If you were infected with Angiostrongylus, how could you recover so quickly?" Zhou Changqi naturally would not believe it.

"Director, we didn't lie to you. Didn't we go to Shangguan Reservoir to play yesterday? On the way, we bought some flavored snails at Huangsidian. You know, we like the golden-shouldered snails at Huangsidian the most. We ate them last night. All the people were recruited, and the three of us were the most serious. We had fever, headache and dizziness, if it wasn't for others to rescue us, we might not be able to come back smoothly this time." Xia Rusheng said.

"It's true. Director, at that time we really thought it was just simple food poisoning. In fact, I thought about it early in the morning. Food poisoning of snails is usually contaminated by this kind of angiostrongylus. But people just brought anti-toxin water over , Drink it and it will be fine. The symptoms of fever, headache and dizziness were relieved at that time." Yang Lingle also said.

Su Ziting also quickly said: "The potion is really effective. I felt comfortable after taking it."

Yang Lingle is usually very prudent, and would not team up with Xia Rusheng and Su Ziting to deceive people.It was even more impossible to deceive people about this kind of thing, so although Zhou Changqi was a little unbelievable, he still believed it.

"Do you know what medicine the other party gave you?" Zhou Changqi asked.

"It's the girl in their class. He didn't show up in our tent at all. Maybe he showed up. We were so dizzy at the time that we didn't necessarily see it. The next morning, when we wanted to thank him face to face, he had already run out I went to buy sweet potatoes. They are still playing in the Shangguan Reservoir today, and I heard that they are going to bake sweet potatoes." Yang Lingle said.

"Girls in the class? Are those people students?" Zhou Changqi asked.

"Yeah. He's a student of the University of Chinese Medicine. He's still a freshman. The student who gave the drug is said to be very good. He joined the medical team of a famous professor in the Affiliated Hospital of the University of Chinese Medicine." Yang Lingle added.Yang Lingle told all the information she knew.

"It's nothing new to enter the medical team as a freshman. The University of Chinese Medicine is different from our Western medicine. It pays attention to precepts and deeds. After all, a good Chinese medicine doctor can't be taught in four or five years. They attach great importance to that. Students who have studied undergraduate, master, and doctoral programs for eight years." Zhou Changqi said.

"But the medicine in that student's hand is really very effective. We took it and it was fine. By the way, several of them in the class were cheated by us. We once exchanged a box of flavored snails for grilled fish. Then The grilled fish is really delicious. At that time, we smelled the aroma and went to the place where they grilled, so we couldn't help but want to try it. They gave us a box of grilled fish, and we gave them a box of flavored snails. As a result, several people who ate the snails got food poisoning. They came to us after they found out that the girls in their class had food poisoning." Yang Lingle said.

"Is there really such an effective drug? Can you contact them now? I think this antidote should be a Chinese patent medicine newly developed by their University of Chinese Medicine. Wait, I'll make a phone call first. "Although he is a Western medicine doctor, Zhou Changqi still has many acquaintances at the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

As a result, Zhou Changqi's expression was very strange due to the reply there.The Affiliated Hospital of the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine also received many patients with food poisoning from snails, and basically confirmed that the symptoms were caused by Angiostrongylus infection. They are now using basically the same drug treatment as the Kyoto Hospital.When Zhou Changqi asked them if they had any special medicine for treating Angiostrongylus, the other party seemed a little surprised.Obviously, he knew nothing about this so-called special medicine.

Zhou Changqi hung up the phone and asked, "Yang Lingle, you are the most stable of the three of you. At this critical moment, can you lie to me. Did you really get infected with Angiostrongylus last night?"

"I'm not sure if it is infected with Angiostrongylus, but we must have eaten the flavored snails from Huangsidian and have the same symptoms. And it is true that we took the student's antidote." Yang Lingle said seriously Said.

"Can you contact them?" Zhou Changqi asked.

Yang Lingle nodded: "I left the phone number of their class supervisor. We plan to go to the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine when we have time, and express our gratitude to the lifesaver in person."

Zhou Changqi nodded: "If you were really infected with Angiostrongylus and your symptoms were so severe, if it wasn't for them, it would be a disaster if you were found and sent to the hospital in Kyoto. Our hospital alone Among the patients received, there are more than a dozen cases with very serious symptoms. Even if all these dozen cases are rescued, I guess the brain will definitely have sequelae in the future. It is considered lucky not to become dementia."

Su Ziting patted her chest and let out a long breath: "It seems that we are really lucky. If you survive a catastrophe, you will have a future. It seems that my true son is about to appear."

Zhou Changqi chuckled, he didn't bother to pay attention to Su Ziting, and said to Yang Lingle: "You can contact the class monitor and see if you can invite that student to our hospital. If this continues, our emergency center will not be able to work normally in the next few months. "

"He is a student of the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and a member of the medical team of the Affiliated Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine." Yang Lingle reminded.

"I don't care where he is from. As long as he can invite people over, heal all these patients and send them away. If nothing happens, I will be fine. So many patients are crowded in our emergency center. Things are coming." Zhou Changqi looked at the patients in the hospital aisle.It was very difficult for the medical staff to walk through it, so they couldn't help frowning.

The emergency center was already very busy, and so many emergency patients were sent in all of a sudden, the emergency center was naturally in chaos.
