In all fairness, Felipe did nothing wrong.He just bought a batch of communication equipment that should have been eliminated long ago by mistake.Felipe's own motivation may be to earn greater benefits, but objectively speaking, he does intend to seek some benefits for his compatriots.

Sun Lien felt that the Politanvian man in front of him who loved to eat meat buns was at least a respectable person.

"Put on your mask and goggles, and don't have any direct contact with the patient without my permission—it's best not to even touch the table." Seeing that the first batch of patients and their family members have completed the security check, they began to line up Ready to enter camp.Sun Lien quickly instructed, "You only need to translate, and you must remember to wear your mask."

In the World Health Organization's regular report on the African situation, the Ebola and polio outbreaks in several countries near Politanvia are not over yet.And at present, there are relatively large-scale infectious diseases such as measles that are prevalent.All members of the medical team have received all available vaccines before going abroad.They still need to be careful to protect themselves, let alone Felipe, who is a local - he is likely to be barely vaccinated.

Many vaccines are not effective for life.Because individuals have different constitutions and specific situations, the effective period of most vaccines for epidemic prevention basically ranges from a few months to a few years.Only some special vaccines can achieve the effect of lifelong immunity.

Members of the medical team who have been vaccinated before going abroad currently have relatively strong resistance, but it is hard to say for local workers.Therefore, the Seventh Bureau specially planned a reception and triage area for the medical team, and therefore specially warned the local workers not to wander around the medical team if there is nothing to do.

Felipe probably understood what Sun Lien meant. He glanced at Sun Lien gratefully, and then took the unopened N95 mask, goggles and rubber gloves from him.The temperature in Politanvia in December is not low, and the power of the sun in the morning is not weaker than that in early summer in Ningyuan.Of course, it is uncomfortable to be fully armed, even if there are ice cubes frozen in the camp freezer on the side, an awning over the head, and a high-power industrial fan blowing behind the ice cubes.

But it's better than being infected by a patient who comes to you for help.Felipe had seen Ebola before. When he vomited blood, he could even vomit out his own organ fragments together, and finally the muscles all over his body liquefied. He was terrified of his compatriots who died in extreme pain.

As long as there is no infection, the hot spot is hot.

Soon, the first batch of patients were led to Sun Lien's desk. Although they lined up, the shape of the line was really crooked.Among this group of people, some patients came to ask for help themselves, while others were mobilized by the whole family.This is not too different from the situation of the patients in the fourth hospital.

"This patient..." Felipe listened to what his compatriots said very professionally, while translating to Sun Lien, "He said that his back hurts very badly at night..."

"Calculus, go to the surgery side." Sun Lien quickly wrote down two notes on the paper. He was not sure if the medical team had any extracorporeal lithotripsy equipment, but he guessed that there was none - the size of the extracorporeal lithotripsy machine It is similar to the treatment bed of Haifu Knife, which weighs hundreds of kilograms or even weighs a ton. It is very difficult to send it here from China.Perhaps the surgeon can try to remove the stone for him through urethroscopy?
"The second patient...he is a farmer. He said he had a cut in his foot last month..." Felipe continued to translate, but Sun Lien interrupted him in the middle of the sentence. "Diabetic foot, first go to the surgery to see if it can be debrided and sutured, if not, you may have to amputate - then you need to cooperate with medical treatment."

Felipe's eyes widened, "Amputation?"

"If it's been broken for a month, I'm afraid there will be gangrene." Sun Lien sighed. The diet structure of the African people is very unhealthy.Especially these farmers who grow their own fruits, they themselves lack a stable source of starch and protein intake.Frequently consume fruit grown on their own in large quantities.Due to the abundant sunshine in Africa, the sugar content of local melons and fruits is very high.This type of diet is indeed prone to type [-] diabetes.

And this kind of disease happened to the Politanvians... the consequences were much more serious than those in China.Limit sugar intake, and patients may not be able to fill their stomachs at all.If sugar intake is not restricted, they will develop severe hyperglycemia, and may even develop hyperketosis and diabetic foot-in short, diabetes is a truly "incurable disease" in Politanvia.

The consequences of amputation were dire for the farmer, but gangrene would have killed him had he not amputated.

Felipe finished the translation for the farmer with a bitter face, and then sighed as he watched the man limping away, but after he sighed, he couldn't say a word.

"Next." Sun Lien shook his head and continued to record the conditions of the patients behind.He intends to make statistics to see that the epidemiological investigations of various diseases in Africa are almost blank.Of course, the records in his hand are only a small sample, but at least they can be recorded to provide important data for future researchers.

These epidemiological survey data may be able to make some contributions to the subsequent development of Politanvian medicine.

The patients who came later were all common diseases in Africa. Two patients who were engaged in quarrying and sand digging were highly suspected of pneumoconiosis, one had corneal detachment, seven had sinusitis, and Sun Lien even found two patients with human skin flies.

Human skin fly is both a disease and the name of an insect.The human skin flies of the family Diptera (Dipteridae) lay their eggs on clothing or bedding.After one to three days, the eggs hatch into larvae.The larvae of human skin flies are highly sensitive to human body temperature. They will do everything possible to burrow into human skin, then gently bite open a mouth with their mouthparts, and then burrow in by themselves.

The two patients Sun Lien encountered were probably human skin fly patients rather than human tumor fly patients.They have a dot-like bump on their arm that slowly rises and falls.The black skin is not easy to see redness and swelling, but the status bar still plays its role stably - it directly writes the words "human skin fly infection" on the heads of the two patients.

After seeing the first batch of patients, Sun Li'en leaned back a little tired. For the first time, he had the feeling that he had indeed arrived in Africa.Except for stones, diabetic foot and sinusitis, they were all symptoms he hadn't seen much.Especially human skin flies - although I heard that domestic pastoral areas occasionally get sick, and there are even dipteran insects parasitic in the digestive tract of patients, but that's just hearsay after all, how can it be compared with what you see with your own eyes?
With the help of the status bar, Sun Lien showed his might, while Felipe behind him seemed a little confused and lost.Before the next wave of patients completed the security check and entered the camp, he decided to ask a question first, "Doctors in China are all so... so..." He thought for a long time before he came up with a relatively suitable word, "So powerful? "

"There are too many doctors who are better than me." Sun Lien said seriously, "I'm just a doctor who has just obtained the qualification certificate of medical practitioner. I don't even have a junior professional title. I can only be regarded as the lowest in the doctor system. level one."

Sun Lien is currently only training residents in a standardized manner. Only after he completes the three-year standardized training and the final training exam can he be considered to have the junior title of "resident doctor".As for doctors who are "better than himself", there are more doctors. In terms of intubation and cardiovascular accidents, Sun Li'en thinks that he is far inferior to Cao Yanhua.He is about a dozen blocks away from Xu Yourong in terms of supernatural powers. He is not as good as Brune in critical illness, Pascal in immunology, and Zhou Ce and Dr. Xincao in renal endurology... He has no politeness at all. Sun Lien really felt that he was not a particularly good doctor.

Anyway, a lot of people say the same thing—emergency physicians who can't perform surgery...are they considered doctors?

Felipe sighed, and said with some melancholy, "We... still have a lot of lessons to make up."
