Chapter 668 Chinese Gongfu
If London has a population of 6 million based on an average infection rate of 10%, then at least hundreds of thousands of people suffer from illness.
If it is considered the "Greater London District", the number of infections will increase exponentially.
According to an average mortality rate of 0.5, the entire flu from beginning to end, and the number of deaths in London alone due to flu complications may exceed tens of thousands, especially those in the elderly.
This number is very scary and will seriously affect the credibility and votes of the authorities and government.
The reason why the English government cooperated so much this time was that GlaxoSmithKline's public relations were done well.
On the other hand, I also wanted to show the voters to see what we are doing. Even the Chinese doctors have been invited and asked for help from the bad country. We have tried our best.
Wellington Hospital specially prepared an outpatient building as a "flu treatment area".
Senior doctors from China and Xiangjiang opened 25 outpatient clinics at the same time, and the remaining 15 people were ready to support them as mobile phones.
The employees of Pumpkin Vine Pharmaceutical Company have prepared all the medicines and are doing their best.
As assistants, doctors and nurses from Wellington Hospital helped Chinese doctors throughout the process. After all, doctors from China did not even have the jet lag and worked, which was very hard.
Moreover, the hospital process and language differences between the two countries.
Therefore, generally each clinic consists of a Chinese doctor, a doctor from Wellington Hospital, two members of medical observation teams from various countries, and one is a translation.
Ren Yuanfei sat in a foreign hospital and became the core of the entire clinic, and he still felt a trance in his heart.
You should know that such an international hospital is very difficult even if you come to study, let alone as a doctor. Now it is really a turn for you.
The outpatient clinic has officially begun.
The newspaper has long been published. There is a free flu clinic this week. Doctors from mainland China and Hong Kong carry special influenza drugs to treat English people for free for a week.
Now, with this opportunity for free treatment, there are already a lot of people outside the hospital. No matter which country or city, the poor always account for the majority.
Rich people are not interested in queuing up and look down on Chinese doctors, but poor people will not miss this kind of good opportunity.
For medical treatment in public hospitals abroad, you need to queue up to make an appointment.
You were obviously sick on the 1st and made an appointment that day. It might be their turn to look at least on the 10th. At that time, either the illness was cured or it was already dead.
Because the flu patients in public hospitals are already full, the rhythm of collapse is all over the line.
The problem is that even if it is the turn to queue up, there is no special medicine. At most, it is just a few antipyretics. Go back and die for yourself, and use your whole life to carry it.
The first patient Ren Yuanfei encountered was a middle-aged man.
The clinical manifestations are mainly systemic poisoning symptoms such as high fever, fatigue, headache, cough, and general muscle aches, while respiratory symptoms are mild.
This is a typical manifestation of influenza, but Ren Yuanfei was still cautious and carefully performed a physical examination on the patient. On the premise of confirming that his cardiopulmonary function was still good, he prescribed the first prescription.
Go for influenza test first.
Oseltavir is indeed a magical medicine, but this magical medicine has one limitation, which is that it is only effective for "influenza" and is ineffective against the common cold.
Therefore, before taking medicine, you must undergo a different laboratory test and Western medicine treats the doctor. You attach great importance to "evidence" and you cannot make random guesses, probably estimate.
Influenza detection methods include viral nucleic acid detection, virus culture isolation, antigen detection and serological detection.
The first two are virus tests based on respiratory specimens (nose, pharyngeal swabs, sputum, nasopharyngeal or tracheal absorbents); the latter two are immunological examinations.
Antigen and serological testing are relatively complicated, and there must be a phase difference instrument. Although Chen Xia has it in the space hospital, it cannot be taken out, so it will definitely not be explained clearly at that time.
However, the virus nucleic acid test is very convenient (just like the new coronavirus test), take a nasopharyngeal swab and then drip it onto the "swallow paper".
One bar is influenza A.
The two bars are influenza B. (Not pregnancy, cough cough.)
When these European and American doctors saw that Chinese researchers even invented the paper for detecting influenza, they were even more embarrassed and they felt a little more confident in the legendary Ostawei.
Because this shows that doctors in China, or Pumpkin Vine Pharmaceutical Company, have studied influenza clearly and clearly, and insiders can tell at a glance that this is not a fool.
The test report came out immediately, a bar, influenza.
Ren Yuanfei prescribed a second prescription: oseltamivir capsules, one pill at a time, twice a day. Acetaminophen tablets, and take if necessary.
All of this is free, and the difference fee is borne by Pumpkin Vine Company, so these patients naturally thank you very much.
Officials from the Health Insurance Agency and some insurance companies next to each other widened their eyes.
Treating a doctor abroad is different from that in China. People pay very little for medical treatment abroad, and generally state benefits or insurance companies bear the vast majority of medical expenses.
During the special period of the flu outbreak, relevant institutions should evaluate the efficacy of oseltamivir, because they will be urgently included in the medical insurance list in a week.
In 25 outpatient clinics, doctors from China and Xiangjiang performed their spirit of not being afraid of hardship. After a day, it was originally expected that each doctor would see an average of 200 patients.
That is 5,000 patients, and 37,000 outpatient visits a week.
In fact, it was far more than this number later, because foreign hospitals only had emergency rooms at night and no "night clinics".
You said you have a cold, a headache, diarrhea, and cough. You want to go to the emergency department and check out the doctor like in China. It is not possible abroad.
People will say sorry to you. This is not an emergency department. Please go to make an appointment with a doctor the next day. They will not show you the emergency department.
But the Chinese doctor came and brought one of the domestic ones, and continued the night clinic at night.
Because Chen Xia and Ren Yuanfei knew that the number of patients was large, the number of medical records was large, which was better reflected in the authenticity of oseltamivir and better promoted in European and American countries.
In other words, the solid evidence, the better. European and American countries attach great importance to procedures, especially the approval of drugs is very rigorous, and other doctors must be convinced.
We must also make the Medical Insurance Bureau and insurance companies willing to pay. Without their support, drug promotion will be difficult.
And there are a large group of reporters waiting outside. These uncrowned kings are always watching and must publish the latest news in newspapers from various countries at any time.
As a reporter, hehe, integrity is limited, and you can pick on the tricks for you if you have nothing to do, so you must be perfect and make people have nothing to say.
But local doctors in England and doctors from various European countries can't stand it anymore. They are so tired and exhausted during the day. Do you still have to continue tonight?
