Chapter 367 Suspected strange disease 【Seeking monthly ticket
After seeing 100 emergency rooms in one night, Liu Guolin was so tired that his chest was pressed against his back. As soon as he returned to the dormitory to clean up, he lay on the bed and fell asleep quickly.
His cell phone has already been shaken. He has a nurse's girlfriend, who is also from this hospital. He is on duty now and has nothing to celebrate the festival.
As expected, Liu Guolin slept until he was not sure when the door was knocked on, and someone shouted louder and louder: "Old Liu, Old Liu!"
Who... When is the soul called in the middle of the night...
Liu Guolin opened his eyes reluctantly, took the phone from the bedside table and looked at it, but he saw that it was already six o'clock in the morning and 15 missed calls... He was shocked and opened it and saw that it was not all called by his girlfriend, most of which were Director Li, in more than half an hour.
He also heard clearly that the person who called outside was Zhang Wenjun, a female colleague from the department. Isn’t this guy going to take over the daily work...
Something happened? Liu Guolin was shocked. Looking at these missed calls, what happened...
"Here, come." He quickly got up, put on his pants, pulled over a shirt, and hurried to open the door.
Zhang Wenjun stood anxiously outside the door. When she saw him, she immediately complained: "Why didn't you answer the phone? I thought you were missing. Let's fall asleep. You're sleeping soundly... The Tianji Bureau is coming soon, so hurry up and clean up. The director is in a hurry. The dean and the others are all here. Oh, hurry up, you!"
Liu Guolin was really confused when he heard this. What...? Someone from Tianji Bureau came?
He then remembered the little girl in the last few clinics he saw last night, blinked and made a strange sound... Is this really related to supernatural power?
How could it be? The patient clearly saw nothing, and his vital signs were all normal... Is that disease? Is it contagious? It shouldn't be there? Otherwise, the disease control personnel who are knocking on the door now should be wearing protective clothing...
Amid the chaos of thoughts, Liu Guolin hurriedly went to the bathroom to wash up, put on a white coat, and followed Zhang Wenjun to the outpatient building.
Although Nanxiang Third People's Hospital is a Grade A hospital, it is never a big hospital even in the city. However, early in the morning that day, with a call from the nearby Tianji Bureau of Dongzhou City, the hospital was soon blocked by the police and the disease control, and there was another scene here.
The president, vice president and other senior executives rushed over, and Zhang Dongliang, director of the emergency department, Zhou Guihong, director of the pediatric department, and others rushed to the hall of the isolation ward area. When Liu Guolin arrived and changed into light protective clothing, there was a large group of big people here, and he, the young doctor, became the one who arrived very late.
"Xiao Liu, you are really!" Director Zhang was so anxious that he almost cursed, "You have been a big mess."
"Director, I..." Liu Guolin wanted to speak but stopped, but in the end he didn't say anything, and silently took the blame.
The dean not far away from him also looked at him, which was quite strict. Liu Guolin was really nervous while taking the blame, and felt that he was going to be unlucky.
"Don't be dissatisfied, you can go and see it yourself." Director Zhang sighed, "The three patients have the same symptoms and the same epidemiological characteristics."
Liu Guolin was stunned, walked a few steps into the corridor, looked at the three isolation wards, each with a child in it, accompanied by his parents anxiously. The three patients were all 5-7 years old, all girls. Guo Qinying, whom he visited last night, was one of them.
"What's the situation..." Liu Guolin asked Zhang Wenjun next to him softly, why does this look like an infectious disease...
Such obvious group characteristics are already in line with the epidemiological outbreak.
"I don't know yet." Zhang Wenjun also said in a low voice, with her eyes behind the round-frame glasses quite puzzled. "Director Zhang, Director Zhou and others have a routine judgment, which is very similar to Tourette's disease, but the incidence of Tourette's disease in preschool children is about 1%. One patient has nothing, and this is abnormal for us three patients in one night..."
Tourette's disease? Liu Guolin was shocked, but he woke up the dreamer with one word. Yes, why didn't he think of this rare disease last night...
At this time, Zhang Wenjun handed him a stack of information, "Look at it quickly, the people from the Dongzhou Tianji Bureau will come."
Liu Guolin took the information and looked it up immediately, and his forehead was sweating even more and more. Oh no, it was really bad.
Tourette's disease, also known as pediatric ectopic syndrome.
The cause and pathology of it have not been clarified yet, and it is more common in children. It usually starts from 5 to 8 years old and consists of two main symptoms, tics and phlegm.
Twitching refers to convulsions in movements. Patients will feel an unwanted but unbearable urge to the muscles. Usually, it starts from blinking, to coughing, clearing their throats, wrinkling on their faces, etc. People often mistakenly think that they are making faces. In severe cases, it will spread throughout the body, and symptoms similar to epilepsy will appear when ticking attacks occur.
The erotic language is a convulsion in the voice. The patient suddenly makes a strange sound, which sounds like cursing people, learning to bark at dogs, etc. However, the erotic language is only seen in a few patients with tics. All three patients have two symptoms in one night, which is of course abnormal...
Normal Tourette's disease is not contagious and will not adversely affect the patient's intelligence and life expectancy. Some celebrities have suffered from this disease, and some historians suspect that Mozart has malignant language.
In most cases, tics and eroticism do not require treatment, and there is currently no good drug treatment.
What patients need is psychological treatment and behavioral management, and learn how to participate in the normal world in such an abnormal attitude. However, patients will have higher incidence of comorbidities, such as Asperger's syndrome, high-functional autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, etc., and these comorbidities are often the ones that need to be treated.
The problem is just like Director Zhang and the others’ doubts...
The incidence rate of Tourette's disease is not so high, and after the patient starts, he does not twitch and make strange noises every moment, but intermittently occurs, many times a day, or several times a day, and some even do not occur at all for one or two months a year, but it will happen again later.
Moreover, when most patients and children reach adolescence, the severity of symptoms will be reduced, and many patients will completely disappear after adulthood. Therefore, the patient with the disease is not easily identified correctly. Many patients with mild conditions even do not know that they have had this disease for life. They are just thought by parents, teachers, friends, etc., that this guy has been naughty, weird, active, rude, and makes faces and scolds for no reason.
Especially since the knowledge is not popular in China, the older generation of parents basically won’t pay attention to it, and young parents don’t know much.
Therefore, their doctors could not diagnose a Tourette's disease patient for a long time, and now three of them are...
What's going on? Liu Guolin looked at the three patients in different isolation wards in a daze.
This disease is high in men, with an incidence rate of 3-4 times that of women, which also leads to cultural misleading, thinking that it is normal for boys to bearishness.
But now... they are all little girls...
Before Liu Guolin could finish reading all the information in his hand, it was just 6:30 in the morning when the people from the Dongzhou Tianji Bureau arrived.
One team was a doctor, a middle-aged man with a few young men and another team of people, all wearing protective suits. Seeing them coming, the dean, vice president, director Zhang and others hurriedly greeted him, and Liu Guolin and Zhang Wenjun were also following behind.
