Chapter 1303 Isolated Island
When Ji Xiangjun saw Xie Jiaojiao coming out of the temporary treatment room, she asked in a low voice: "How many patients are this?"
Xie Jiaojiao is the only Chinese in the medical team who is proficient in Talijik language, so she has been by Su Tao and provides translation at any time. As for Ji Xiangjun, although nominally, she is Su Tao's assistant, she has now become an optional person, so Ji Xiangjun feels a little disappointed in her heart.
Xie Jiaojiao took a water cup and a clean towel from Ji Xiangjun's hand and said, "It's already the 18th patient. Although Expert Su is very young and has good energy, it can be seen that he is already very tired and is relying solely on his willpower to treat the seriously ill patients."
"It's not the same thing to continue like this. There are too many seriously ill patients in Tali Village. With his own energy, he can't treat them at all. Otherwise, you persuade him that if he gets tired, it will only make the situation worse. He is the backbone of the entire medical team. Anyone can fall down, but he can't." Ji Xiangjun said worriedly.
Xie Jiaojiao carefully observed Ji Xiangjun and could see that Ji Xiangjun's feelings were sincere and sincere. She originally thought that Ji Xiangjun had nothing special except for her good-looking appearance. In short, it was just a vase. However, from Ji Xiangjun's various performances, Xie Jiaojiao finally understood why Ji Xiangjun was chosen as an assistant by Su Tao because she was loyal enough to Su Tao.
Xie Jiaojiao nodded and said, "Well, I will persuade him well, please don't worry."
Ji Xiangjun actually wanted to follow Su Tao and help him treat those seriously ill patients, but Su Tao drove him out. Su Tao's reason was that he should not leave too many people in the intensive care unit, because they were all dealing with patients with higher infection rates, so they should try to avoid too many people present. In addition, he also felt that Ji Xiangjun was in the way and could not help at all.
In fact, Ji Xiangjun guessed some other reasons from Su Tao's tone. Su Tao was worried that he would be infected, but Su Tao had to take care of him in turn. Wouldn't that be reversed?
"Actually, I envy you very much." Xie Jiaojiao suddenly felt moved, "It's wonderful every day when I follow Expert Su, right?"
Ji Xiangjun was slightly stunned and thought to herself that you were thinking too much. Follow Su Tao, thank you for not being scolded every day. As for the wonderful things, she had never felt it.
Ji Xiangjun did not express his true thoughts in his heart, and replied in a relaxed tone: "Yes, I can see him challenge various difficult and complicated diseases every day, but in fact I am numb sometimes."
An excitement flashed in Xie Jiaojiao's eyes, "I understand what you mean. You think that Expert Su will be able to successfully resolve the crisis in Tali Village!"
Ji Xiangjun was slightly stunned. Through the sixth sense of a woman, she could find that Xie Jiaojiao was full of admiration for Su Tao. Did she fall in love with Su Tao? Ji Xiangjun sneered in her heart. You have never seen Su Tao’s true side, but you are not as gentlemanly as you appear.
Ji Xiangjun responded and said, "Yes, he should be able to resolve this crisis."
Xie Jiaojiao walked into the treatment room with a cup of water and towel. Su Tao had successfully completed the treatment process for another patient. Su Tao was covered in sweat. Treating the patient through Tianjie's hand not only consumed a lot of physical strength, but also made the energy in the body consumed huge amounts of energy.
"Expert Su, why don't you take a break?" Xie Jiaojiao advised softly when she saw that Su Tao was not in very good condition.
"These patients can't wait!" Su Tao took a sip of water and said in a serious tone, "If I don't give them timely treatment now, they will suffer tremendous pain and even die. Since we have arrived at the epidemic area, we must take practical actions. My plan is to ensure zero deaths today."
"So that's it!" Xie Jiaojiao finally understood Su Tao's good intentions, why did Su Tao work so hard!
Although no anti-toxic agent can effectively kill the virus, it would be a great progress if the mortality rate in Tari Village can be effectively controlled with the arrival of the first day of the medical team.
In this way, not only will the villagers have confidence in themselves, the Talijik government will also change its attitude again and continue to provide material assistance to Tali Village, and will not give up this village that is ravaged by the virus.
Su Tao wiped his face with a towel, took a deep breath, and said, "There are the remaining patients?"
"There are more than 30 more, and there are still continuous patients sent to the camp. It is expected that there will be at least 70 seriously ill patients." Xie Jiaojiao reported with some confidence.
"It's only seventy!" Su Tao smiled lightly, "Believe in my strength and won't let everyone down!"
There is a saying that practice makes perfect. When Su Tao controls the virus in Haines, he does not have a special understanding of the virus situation, so he spends a lot of time and energy. However, as he contacts more and more patients, he has already understood the symptoms caused by the virus and will not do useless work, and the speed is getting faster and faster.
Although Xie Jiaojiao does not understand traditional Chinese medicine, she still couldn't help but sigh in her heart when she found that Su Tao's treatment efficiency had improved. No wonder Su Tao was called one of the few geniuses in the traditional Chinese medicine community for thousands of years.
Su Tao was immersed in his own research. Although he didn't know what type of virus was, he used to treat more and more severe patients to understand the principle of its attack, mainly spreading through blood to the whole body, then causing damage to the liver, and then affecting the spleen and kidneys.
Su Tao flashed with an inspiration, and quickly picked up a pen to write down a few medicinal herbs, then handed them to Xie Jiaojiao, and reminded with a serious expression: "Hurry up and let Liao Hua add these medicinal herbs to Siqi Decoction. Because we did not prepare well in advance, our inventory may not be enough, so we need to allocate some from outside."
Xie Jiaojiao volunteered, "I contacted my colleagues at the medical center to let them communicate with the government. Although the medicinal materials market in Talijik is not as developed as in China, they are accustomed to using Chinese herbal medicines to treat diseases, so they should be able to allocate enough medicinal materials as soon as possible."
Su Tao nodded at Xie Jiaojiao and smiled, "I'll bother you."
Xie Jiaojiao is not a national beauty, but she is a popular type. After getting along for a long time, she will feel that this girl has a very good personality and has her own unique charm.
Girls who have the courage to go abroad to build aid are worthy of appreciation. Judging from the contact with Xie Jiaojiao, her family conditions should be good, and her family education and atmosphere should be good.
Xie Jiaojiao smiled charmingly at Su Tao, "This is my job, it's not a problem."
Su Tao immediately continued to take the treatment, while Xie Jiaojiao walked out of the treatment room and called her colleagues.
About half an hour later, Xie Jiaojiao returned to the treatment room. Her expression was a little solemn. Su Tao finished the work on his hands and walked aside with Xie Jiaojiao and asked softly: "Are you in trouble?"
Xie Jiaojiao nodded and smiled bitterly, "I just got the news that the route for transporting materials was destroyed. We cannot get support from outside in a short period of time. Tali Village has become an isolated island in a sense."
Su Tao quickly said to Xie Jiaojiao: "You must not tell anyone this news, only you and I know."
"I understand that once someone else knows, it will weaken morale." Xie Jiaojiao smiled bitterly, "However, it won't be hidden for long. All our food is given to the villagers. If there is no food tomorrow, everyone will find something wrong. People are iron rice and steel. If they lose supplies outside, they don't need viruses to kill us. We will be defeated by hunger first."
Su Tao also had a headache. He didn't expect the situation to be so passive. It was really an internal and external trouble. If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely be like a headless fly in this situation. However, Su Tao had encountered strong winds and waves and would not be scared by this problem.
Su Tao called Yue Zun with a satellite phone to explain the situation truthfully, "Uncle Shi, we encountered difficulties in Talijik. Although we had arrived at Tali Village where we needed rescue, the supply line was broken, so we were facing the end of starving to death."
Yue Zun couldn't help but spit out the sip that had just been drunk in his mouth, "I'm sorry, I'll make sure if you're joking."
Su Tao was speechless and sighed: "Where am I in the mood to joke with you? The Talijik government's way of dealing with this epidemic is really speechless. A week before we arrived in the village, they almost cut off daily supplies, so the villagers don't mention fighting the disease. They almost fell down because of hunger every day. We didn't bring much food, but after we arrived at the destination, we gave it to the villagers all."
Yue Zun hurriedly said, "I didn't expect this aid operation to be so twists and turns. Don't worry, I will call the Ministry of Foreign Affairs later and communicate with the Talijik government through diplomatic means, so that they can clear the supply line as soon as possible and transport you daily supplies."
Su Tao reminded: "In addition to daily supplies, there are several herbs that may have a good inhibitory effect on the virus."
Yue Zun's eyes lit up and she sighed: "That's great news. I'll coordinate now and I'll give you a reply as soon as possible."
Su Tao and Yue Zun hung up the phone and sighed inwardly. Suddenly, his eyes turned dark and the lights in the treatment room suddenly dimmed.
Su Tao quickly realized that the power supply system was also cut off, which was the rhythm of trying to completely put Tali Village in an isolated island and fend for itself!
It was getting late, and there was no light in the treatment room and it was impossible to continue to treat the patient. Su Tao was in a heavy mood. When he walked outside, he took a deep breath of the air. It was not as fresh as he thought, and was filled with the smell of Chinese medicine from Siqi Decoction.
A train came not far away. Jacob jumped out of the passenger seat with a cane. He limped around. Xie Jiaojiao greeted him, communicated with Jacob, and then smiled happily. She shook her hand at Su Tao and said, "Expert Su, Jacob knew that our temporary camp had power outage, so he moved the generator."
