From small clinic to medical empire

Chapter 145 Anthony Fauci

Soon, Zhu Jiannan saw the patient.

At this time, Ma Fusheng had symptoms of shortness of breath and cyanotic skin, and his expression was obviously listless.

Several young doctors were a little helpless.

Zhu Jiannan immediately issued a doctor's order to give the patient oxygen inhalation to support treatment, and at the same time to conduct blood tests.

The results of the blood test came out quickly, showing increased white blood cells and accelerated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, suggesting that the patient may have an infection.

Generally speaking, a high white blood cell to neutrophil ratio in the blood test may indicate a bacterial infection, a low or normal white blood cell count, and an elevated lymphocyte count may indicate a viral infection.

There are only a few exceptions, such as hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome caused by Hantavirus, which will do the opposite, manifesting as fever and elevated white blood cells.

Combined with the patient's high fever of 39 degrees, Zhu Jiannan preliminarily judged that the patient was more likely to have a bacterial infection.

But the problem is that the detection of procalcitonin and C-reactive protein in patients is different from typical bacterial infections.

Seeing the patient's worsening condition, Zhu Jiannan knew that every second counted.

He could only carry out infusion therapy and basic supportive treatment according to the principle of antibacterial therapy, while contacting the doctor in the infection department.
Although he is known as a firefighter in the emergency department, the situation in front of him is beyond Zhu Jiannan's ability.

Professional things still have to be left to professional people.

When the on-duty doctor from the infection department arrived in a hurry, Ma Fusheng had already entered a coma state, and edema and lymph nodes appeared in many places all over his body.

"The onset is so urgent?" The infection doctor was also dumbfounded, and immediately realized that the patient might not have an ordinary bacterial infection.

Subsequent bacterial culture results also confirmed the doctor's judgment.

Ma Fusheng’s infection does not belong to any common bacteria!
What is even more troublesome is that the patient has symptoms of lethargy and coma, indicating that the infection may have invaded the brain.

If there is no way to find out what is causing the infection, targeted medication may cause serious complications, even life-threatening!
"Hurry up and call Director Fei to come over and work overtime!"

Zhu Jiannan also saw that the doctors on duty in the infection department were useless, and they had to be their boss, Director Fei Tong, to help.

"Director Fei is in Yangcheng for a meeting, so he won't be able to make it in a short time!"

"Then video chat first, report the situation here to him, forget it, my phone screen is big, I'll call!"

……

As the director of the Department of Infectious Diseases at the Second People's Hospital of Guan City, Fei Tong will of course attend the ICID academic conference held in Yangcheng.

The video was switched on, and there was a change of glasses over there. Director Fei Tong, who had always been surrounded by interns and trainees, was standing behind a table of bosses, waiting to toast, looking obedient and humble.

Today is the closing day of the ICID conference. According to the style of Chinese academic conferences, that night is naturally a party day.

This is not a bad thing, it is conducive to communicating with each other.

Communication among epidemiologists around the world is also very important, as diseases know no borders.

Therefore, even the foreign experts who participated in the meeting did as the Romans do, and participated in the party.

The advantages and disadvantages of the domestic wine table culture are not discussed for the time being, but if you are in a wine game full of big bosses, it is impossible to maintain a moderate amount of drinking.

After successive toasts, Director Fei was already a little drunk, and his tongue was talking.

Zhu Jiannan saw it, well, this one can't be counted on.

Fortunately, there was someone who was not confused, a gray-haired foreign old man who just came back from the toilet and passed by Fei Tong.

This short old man has an unusual status. He is the honorary chairman of this conference and the top infectious disease expert in the United States, Anthony Fauci,
He is not only a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, but also the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

With such a status, Fauci naturally just drank some red wine as a courtesy, and he was in a very good state of mind.

Fauci found that the Chinese doctor, who appeared to be intoxicated, was receiving a telemedicine consultation from a colleague.

Communication signals in China are really popular and convenient!

Fauci shook his head and sighed with emotion. This time he came to ICID and Yangcheng, which broke his inherent understanding of Chinese medical care.

There are high-level doctors here and an advanced and efficient medical system.

There was nothing wrong anyway, Fauci smiled politely at Fei Tong, and then asked in English, "Do you need help?"

……

Although the Hummer is good, its huge body is enough to make people despair when it comes to finding a parking space.

It took a while, Zhang Zifan finally parked the car, and then, together with Yang Tingting, went to find "Lao Dao" according to the address to meet him.

Since it was an emergency department, Zhang Zifan didn't expect Lao Dao to be empty.

But after arriving at the location, Zhang Zifan and Yang Tingting were still taken aback.

I saw a large group of doctors gathered together, seemingly discussing something.

Both of them were curious babies, so they immediately went up to take a closer look.

I saw a group of doctors surrounding a half-asleep patient, and the doctor who was examining him was holding a mobile phone in his hand.

Looks like a very fast-handed old iron...

"Does this doctor in Guan City know how to play?" Zhang Zifan was stunned.

……

In fact, there is only the No. 1 People's Hospital in Guancheng District, Dongguan City, and two tertiary tertiary hospitals in Dongguan Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. The Second People's Hospital in Dongguan City is actually only a tertiary tertiary hospital.

So in the final analysis, a group of key doctors, including Zhu Jiannan, are a little anxious about English.

Some young doctors generally have higher academic qualifications and better English, but this does not mean that their spoken English is very good.

Fortunately, Anthony Fauci is a very patient person. Not only did he try to slow down his speech, but he also listened carefully to the doctor's description here.

But anyway, this kind of communication efficiency is a bit low.

Zhu Jiannan was a little annoyed, "You young people, you usually talk about TOEFL, IELTS, and GRE, but when they really come in handy, you just have diarrhea one by one. Isn't there a young person here who is more fluent in English?"

Zhu Jiannan just complained, and he didn't expect anyone to talk to him.

Some people are aggressive online and submissive offline, but Zhu Jiannan is different.

He is a licking dog online, but offline, he is a powerful tiger.

However, this time, someone refused to give him face.

"Yes, my English is crooked!"

Hearing this not-so-serious voice, Zhu Jiannan became angry. He turned around suddenly to see which kid was joking at this time.

However, what appeared in his eyes was not any doctor from the Second Hospital.

But no strangers either.

Zhu Jiannan would recognize that slightly joking, young and handsome face even if it turned into gray.

This is not Zhang Zifan, the popular UP master and the founder of the Internet celebrity hospital, Zhang Zifan, who else could it be?

First surprise, then surprise.

"It's you kid!"

Zhu Jiannan quickly pushed aside the onlookers of advanced trainees and interns and said, "Come on, come on, I've seen the interview show you posted with that black man, and your English is really bad!"
