Ma Wenwen was invited to attend the Torch Festival in a nearby Miao village, to interview and create a special tourism program. However, upon hearing that villagers in this town had died from an infectious disease, she personally ca to conduct interviews and sent relevant reports back to the newspaper in East Sea City, where the matter was then recognized as severe.
Ma Wenwen began showing symptoms like dizziness and fever, similar to those of the infected individuals, within a week of arriving at this village for interviews. She started receiving treatnt and was quarantined for treatnt and care in the village.
Various dications have been tried, but without finding targeted drugs, they can only address symptoms as they arise.
As the infectious disease progresses to its later stages, severe conditions such as heart failure occur, leading to the death of infected individuals.
To the outside world, this village is governed within an approximate five-kiloter radius. Upon entering, the village is divided into several quarantine zones.
Among them, the healthcare workers still working, the infected individuals, and critically infected patients are all separately isolated.
Now, the female journalist Ma Wenwen, who was originally assigned to the infected quarantine area for treatnt and observation, must be moved to the critical quarantine zone due to her serious condition.
If she does not survive this ordeal and dies, she will be moved to another area where the deceased from this disease are isolated.
Initially, so of the deceased villagers were buried, but this is now prohibited to prevent further spread. Instead, related autopsy studies are conducted, potentially leading to cremation at a crematorium.
Ye Qiu and Zhou Wenting followed the attending physician and Director Wei towards the critical care ward.
Ye Qiu donned a white coat and mask, indistinguishable from the other doctors.
Upon arriving at the critical care ward, there were already several attending physicians and two female nurses present.
"Director Zhou, what’s Ma’s condition?" Director Wei inquired.
"Difficulty breathing, heart failure, coughing up blood, and other complications," replied Director Zhou.
Inside the tent, Ma Wenwen lay on the bed, relying on an oxygen machine to breathe, her face ashen, seemingly about to leave this world.
Ma Wenwen was in a coma, her mind replaying past events, both happy and sad.
Though comatose, her mind seed very clear; she hadn’t anticipated that coming to the Southwest would threaten her life.
She wondered if she should regret it, knowing she was still young and had many aningful things left undone.
She hadn’t found soone to love yet, hadn’t beco a mother, hadn’t traveled the world.
Ma Wenwen didn’t want to die; though her will to survive was strong, the infectious disease had led to various complications, rendering treatnts ineffective and only causing further suffering.
Director Wei and the attending physicians said, "This patient’s identity is special, she must be saved. Even if it’s just to buy ti until effective drugs can be obtained to save her."
Due to Ma Wenwen’s special status, her news reports prompted governnt personnel to treat her cautiously and quickly focus on the matter.
Indeed, it was very serious; her early reporting saved many ordinary lives, preventing further infections.
"This is Dr. Zhou from Jinling Affiliated Hospital’s internal dicine departnt. Dr. Zhou, can you discuss the situation?"
Zhou Wenting was young but graduated from the internal dicine program at Massey University and was an attending physician at Jinling Affiliated Hospital.
This demonstrated her capability.
Regarding Ye Qiu, Director Wei indeed believed he was a disciple of Han Dexi.
"Everyone, I’m not entirely clear on the patient’s current condition," Zhou Wenting spoke.
"These are Ma’s dical records from recent days, feel free to review them," said another Director Zhou.
After Zhou Wenting took them, Ye Qiu directly observed Ma’s condition, noting as he checked her pulse that he detected a deathly aura.
Normally, the living exude vitality, but conversely, when soone nears death, internal organs begin to decay, emitting a deathly aura.
This aura is particularly noticeable in hospital critical care wards when patients are about to die.
Of course, so people can sense it, while others cannot.
In a comatose state, Ma Wenwen appeared unchanged lying there but was akin to being very lucid before death, continuously reminiscing about her life experiences since birth.
"Look, Ma’s heart rate is very fast," another doctor said.
"No need to observe; this female patient is likely near death,"
Ye Qiu directly stated.
"Doesn’t she at least have two or three days left?" Director Wei asked.
"I clearly sll the deathly aura emanating from the patient, indicating her organs have begun decaying; she likely won’t make it through the night," Ye Qiu expressed.
He ntioned the deathly aura, referenced in both Chinese and Western dicine, but Chinese dicine identifies it more swiftly, while Western dicine utilizes data assessnts.
"Do you see any thods?" Director Wei inquired anxiously.
He kept receiving calls from higher-ups questioning Ma’s situation; if she had an affair now, what could be done?
Other doctors looked at each other in confusion, unsure how to proceed until Ye Qiu said, "I may have a way to save her."
"You?" Aside from Zhou Wenting, the other doctors showed skepticism.
Especially seeing that he was a young Chinese doctor, how could he treat?
Would it be with herbal decoctions or acupuncture?
"Dr. Ye, do you truly have a solution?" Director Wei questioned.
"Do you have any thods?" The directors shook their heads.
If they did, other infected individuals wouldn’t have succumbed.
"You should all step out; with here, she won’t fall into danger," Ye Qiu said when preparing to treat her alone, which Zhou Wenting understood well.
Thus, Zhou Wenting said to Director Wei, "Director Wei, Dr. Ye’s dical skills are indeed remarkable, given Ma’s situation, why not let Dr. Ye try?"
When Director Wei and others exited the ward, they breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Ma Wenwen’s identity was complex, and they had done their best.
If this young man could cure her, that would be ideal; failing that, when questioned, since he was the last to treat Ma, any responsibility likely falls to him.
