My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points Chapter 822 - 329: Maze Mom, What May Be Saved Is a Whole Fa
"But my little white dog has been dead for several days now! How could it still infect people?"
The old lady was still heartbroken when she ntioned her dog.
"The infection likely occurred much earlier, but the obvious symptoms only appeared in the last couple of days. I even suspect that your dog might have died from this disease,"
Zhou Can explained.
"Oh dear... it’s all my fault for being so muddleheaded! When I noticed the dog wasn’t eating its food and seed unwell, I thought it was just a common cold or sothing. A couple of days later, it suddenly died. If I had taken it to the pet hospital at the ti, maybe it wouldn’t have died."
The old lady wasn’t concerned about her own health but was full of guilt for not taking the dog to the pet hospital in ti.
There are many pet owners who treat their pets like their own children because they particularly love them.
Although Zhou Can couldn’t fully understand this, he didn’t oppose it.
Animals are humanity’s friends, and Earth’s ecosystem requires harmony and coexistence between humans and other living beings. Dogs are humans’ most loyal friends; they guard our hos, protect their owners, and are deeply loved for these qualities.
Seeing the old lady’s eyes reddening again, without anyone to console her, she might start tearing up.
Zhou Can quickly comforted her, "Detecting the new Bunyavirus is very difficult. Even if you’d taken the dog to the hospital, it might have been hard to identify the cause. Look, even our Tuya Hospital, a top provincial hospital, struggled to identify the cause. A pet hospital wouldn’t have the capability!"
The old lady seed to feel a bit better after hearing this.
But she was still a little sad.
"It’s possible that you might be infected with this disease too. It’s best to register, get a blood test. Without tily treatnt, it can be life-threatening. Take your granddaughter, for instance. She already shows signs of kidney failure. Four plus proteinuria is very serious."
Zhou Can redirected the old lady’s attention.
Human lives are certainly more valuable than pet lives.
The little dog is already dead, and the most important thing now is to ensure human health.
"Alright, alright, I’ll listen to you, all up to you. Fortunately, we ca to you for treatnt, or else my granddaughter and I would be in danger!"
The old lady finally realized.
Realizing that both her and her granddaughter’s lives were in serious danger, she quickly asked Zhou Can to help diagnose and treat them.
Zhou Can helped her register, and the blood test followed without ntion.
Her granddaughter was directly admitted to the Infection Departnt.
The new Bunyavirus infection is far more dangerous than one might imagine. Occasionally, there are news reports of infections occurring in rural areas from washing the bodies or dressing the deceased, leading to infections.
Ultimately, not only do family mbers of the deceased show symptoms of infection, but also those dressing the body and their families beco infected. Because the symptoms of this disease closely resemble a cold, rural people often have weak health awareness.
They won’t visit a hospital for minor illnesses.
After a few days, the condition deteriorates rapidly, and it’s often too late by the ti they are sent to the hospital.
This disease has sporadically been reported in news about strange deaths.
By successfully diagnosing the cause of this young girl’s illness, Zhou Can significantly impacted lives, saving at least two. If the diagnosis hadn’t been tily, the old lady’s children and relatives coming to care for the grandmother and granddaughter could also have gotten infected.
For this family, it would have been a great tragedy.
After finishing with this old lady’s consultation, it was already past 7 PM.
Being a doctor truly is busy work.
He hadn’t even eaten dinner yet.
He had another task to do. As he walked to the doctor’s office, most doctors had already finished their shifts. Only two night-duty doctors were still busy.
It seed that Director Tang Fei had also left for the day.
He still decided to report this situation over the phone. Because quite a few doctors and nurses had contact with the old lady today. Mainly when the old lady fainted, and everyone rushed to lift her onto the flatbed, there was a lot of physical contact.
The call went through quickly.
Before Zhou Can could speak, Director Tang Fei greeted him with a laugh.
"Dr. Zhou, have you finished for the day? I saw your clinical performance today — very impressive!"
Starting with praise, Zhou Can felt a bit overwheld.
But it was evident Director Tang was very pleased with his work.
Success on the first encounter, this was what Zhou Can aid for.
"Haha, you’re too kind! I’m bothering you now because I have sothing to report!" Zhou Can replied with a smile.
"It’s no bother. Please feel free to call anyti in the future if anything cos up. Don’t feel hesitant, understood?" Her attitude towards Zhou Can had noticeably ward from indifference to welcoming.
"With your encouragent, I’ll surely bother you more in the future! Today, I received a patient with symptoms highly similar to a cold..."
He recounted the event.
"I know of this case; Director Yan ntioned it to briefly. But I hadn’t expected the patient to be infected with a virus, especially the dangerous new Bunyavirus. I will imdiately notify all staff who had contact with the patient to take necessary precautions. Thank you for your kindness in considering their safety, along with your high level of responsibility and vigilance."
Director Tang was deeply concerned upon realizing the nature of the disease.
