In 1988, just when Chen Xia took the Yuezhou Hospital to visit the group to poach people and harvest talents across the country.

Fishermen in "Dongqi County" of Suzhou Province are also busy salvaging their catch.

Dongqi County is located in the southeast corner of Su Province, separated from Mingzhu City by an estuary of the Yangtze River, and outside is the vast East China Sea.

Dongqi County's economy was not very developed in the 1980s. The county was mainly based on agriculture and fishery production, and most of the fishing catches were sold to Mingzhu City.

This year, perhaps God is open to his eyes, and a large number of hairy tides appeared at the intersection of the Yangtze River Estuary and the East China Sea.

This is a small shell, which is delicious when it comes to soup or steamed eggs.

Citizens in Mingzhu City especially like small seafood such as yarn. Before eating, blanch it in boiling water, then pour soy sauce and sprinkle chopped green onions, which is a home-cooked dish.

The price is not expensive, and the retail price per catty on the market is about 60 cents.

Because this year, Dongqi County has a bumper harvest, a large number of wholesalers gathered at the dock, and then ships of frogs were sent by fishermen, paying the money and delivering the goods in the other hand.

Then trucks of frogs were transported into the "Mingzhu City" and delivered to various vegetable markets and to the dining tables of each household.

No one knew that a huge disaster began to sank over the largest city in the Far East with the influx of hairpins.

Dr. Yang Liankui of Huangpu Infectious Disease Hospital in Mingzhu City and Dr. Liu Xiaoqing of Huangpu Central Hospital are classmates.

When the two were chatting together, they talked about a strange phenomenon. Recently, when they were in the outpatient clinic, they found that the incidence of "hepatitis A" was rising sharply.

In the past, there were dozens of cases a month, which was considered too much.

Now every doctor can see more than 20 cases every day.

Thinking about the infectious disease of "hepatitis A", it is definitely an abnormal phenomenon to see a large number of patients who poured in outpatients in a short period of time.

The key is that there is another abnormal point. Patients generally reported that they had eaten hairy crocus before getting sick.

One of them was a 2-year-old child who had hepatitis A and his mother at the same time. When the doctor asked about his medical history, the mother reported that she had added some hairy hair to the child, but she did not eat it.

The two doctors immediately realized that this must be the hepatitis A epidemic caused by eating unclean hairy hair.

So the next day, both of them reported the matter to the hospital.

However, at the beginning, no one paid attention to it. Hair frogs are prone to hepatitis A, which was rare in the past.

The health department issued an emergency announcement in the newspaper, asking everyone not to eat crochets in the near future, and even the crochets in the vegetable market were forced to be dumped into the trash can and destroyed by relevant departments.

But the citizens don’t believe it, thinking it’s a big deal. Why don’t you eat such an affordable and delicious shell?

Some people also go to find the dumped frogs and take them home to eat, and they are complacent and feel that they have taken advantage of them.

As a result, hepatitis A patients in Mingzhu City suddenly broke out.

The explosion was so dazed that the whole city was confused because the daily increase was tens of thousands, not as simple as a few or dozens of cases.

This is no longer as simple as "popular"

This is the first time in more than a hundred years since Mingzhu City was opened to a port, it has encountered such a concentrated and large-scale infectious disease epidemic, and it is not prepared enough.

It's not just the lack of medication, but the key is the insufficient hospital beds

Mingzhu Infectious Disease Hospital has only 280 beds, and the total number of beds in all hospitals in the city is only 50,000.

At this time, the number of hepatitis A patients in the city has increased rapidly from 100,000 to 200,000, and this number is growing at a rate of 10,000 or 20,000 every day.

The worst thing is that in the 1980s, most citizens lived in stone alleys, and used toilets to urinate and defecate. When they woke up in the morning, the sewage was discharged directly into the nearby river.

Hepatitis A is another disease transmitted through fecal oral, and the dirty and messy environment has aggravated the spread of the epidemic.

All hospitals in Mingzhu City can only be described as collapse and are struggling to support them.

As a last resort, Mingzhu City nervously asked for support from surrounding cities.

Medicine requires a lot of medicine.

Doctors, infectious doctors come as much as they have.

It is best to come to a field hospital with a full set of medicines and doctors to relieve the pressure in Mingzhu City.

Even Changhai Hospital has vacated many beds to accept hepatitis A patients. It turns out that Professor Wu Mengchao's patients are mainly hepatobiliary surgery, and now they are forced to change to hepatology.

Fortunately, Professor Wu is an authoritative in hepatology and is proficient in internal medicine and surgery. If he had changed to a later generation of rough men, how could hepatitis treatment be understood?

Chen Qiu now follows Professor Wu for rounds every day, and his eyes are so tired that he has dark circles, let alone the old man.

"Xiaoqiu, how is our drug reserves? How long can we last?"

"Teacher Wu, I went to the medicine warehouse in the morning to ask. There was still some inventory of infusion bottles, but the liver-protecting drugs were almost gone. Director Dong said when the medicine was gone and when will we stop accepting new patients."

Wu Mengchao shook his head when he heard this:

"No, how can we stop? If these hepatitis A patients cannot receive timely treatment, the water electrolysis disorder will not be corrected by then. This will kill people. How can we watch it?"

Chen Qiu was also very embarrassed and suddenly thought of something.

"Professor, will my brother have a solution? Maybe our Pumpkin Vine Pharmaceutical Factory has a solution?"

Professor Wu thought for a long time in confusion: "I don't remember that Pumpkin Vine Pharmaceutical produces liver-protecting drugs."

Chen Qiu laughed: "Teacher, you don't understand the strength of the pumpkin vine. Generally, they have technical reserves for any medicine they want outside, so it's not difficult for them."

Professor Wu was anxious at this time:

"What else are you saying? Let Yuezhou Hospital and Pumpkin Vine Pharmaceutical come to urgently provide support. Anyway, our Changhai Hospital and Yuezhou Hospital are cooperative hospitals. Let them support us, hurry up."

The other doctors who were checking rounds next to him had their teeth hurt after hearing this.

"This is a fuss. Changhai Hospital has always been to support the hospitals below. Now it is actually asked Yuezhou Hospital to support us Changhai? Are they too strong? Or is our Changhai not useful?"

However, the epidemic is an order, and this is not the time to have a view.

When Changhai Hospital's request for support was sent to Yuezhou Hospital, Zhao Xiaoying and Chen Xia and his group were still waving their hoes to dig people at Xiangya Hospital in Changsha.

Staff from the hospital office ran in:

"Director Zhao, Deputy Chen, hurry up, Changhai Hospital sent a support telegram to our hospital. The outbreak of hepatitis A epidemic in Mingzhu City requires urgent support."

I have to say that the circulation of news in this era is too slow. Such a big thing happened in Mingzhu City, and Chen Xia and the others were not aware of it at all in other places.

Zhao Xiaoying was also anxious when she heard this: "The telegram said that there are more than 200,000 confirmed cases of hepatitis A in Mingzhu city."

More than 200,000?
