Sleepless Doctor

"Teacher Wu, you are so..." Guo Ruming didn't know what to say.

"Too cautious." Matthew De added.

"Yes, you are too cautious."

"No way." Wu Mian said, "Malaria is too much trouble. The Roman Empire only took a short time from its peak to decline. Historians have many speculations, one of which is about the malaria epidemic, which led to a huge empire. The smoke disappears."

"At the end of the 20th century, British and American archaeologists unearthed the bones of a child from an ancient Roman tomb, and their research found that the bones contained a gene that had been infected with malaria."

"Not so much."

"Who knows." Wu Mian chatted very casually, with little scholastic aura. "I know a big brother and went to work in Cote d'Ivoire. I got malaria 5 times in 5 years. Although I now have quinine and artemisia annua. However, some malaria patients cannot be saved."

"I thought artemisinin was a panacea." Matthew De said, startled.

"No." Wu Mian shook his head. "Falciparum malaria is terrible. A few years ago, a soldier in the peacekeeping force was infected with falciparum malaria and died under the premise of artemisinin treatment."

"Uh……"

"Malaria is also evolving, and all the antimalarial drugs known nowadays are resistant to the plasmodium. The so-called magical height is one foot high, which is almost the same."

"It's better to go to Africa," Guo Ruming said. "A friend of Xiaowen's passed away a few years ago."

A girl nodded and sighed and said, "My friend went to play in Malaysia and didn't think about malaria. That is to say, there were too many mosquitoes and the living was uncomfortable. The first day after coming back, he felt sore in his limbs and thought he had a cold. rest."

"She had a fever the next day and didn't pay attention at the time. She thought the cold was getting worse, so she took cold medicine and added some antibiotics."

"The diarrhea started on the third day, but the fever basically subsided. I thought that the cold was over. Maybe it was because of traveling and unacceptable. We still laughed at her and took her to eat hot pot. No one cared."

"But when I ate the hot pot, I could tell that her body hadn't recovered. She specially gave her the mushroom pot to make her sweat after drinking the mushroom soup all night."

The girl named Xiaowen talked about the past with a sad expression.

Matthew De thinks that Director Guo is really... how to say him, it makes sense that people mix well.

He glanced at Wu Mian intentionally or unintentionally? His eyes flickered? Matthew De was surprised to find that Wu Mian didn't seem to be looking at the girl who talked about the past, but was staring at another girl.

Is that girl supposed to be a screenwriter? Wearing glasses? Gentle and thin. But the skin is normal? Some wrinkles, and not tight? A little loose? It doesn't take advantage of her age.

It is estimated that he stayed up late, and Matthew De has his own judgment. But is it good for Teacher Wu to stare at other girls like that?

"My girlfriend sweated a lot that night, and she looked more energetic when she went home. The next day, she completely reduced her fever and no diarrhea? Thought it was all right? She went out for a run."

"But on the fifth day, she didn't come to work and called to shut down. I didn't care at that time. I got news later that she had passed away."

"..." Both Matthew De and Wei Dabao were a little surprised, is malaria so urgent?

"It is said that it was a sudden high fever convulsion? When I was sent to the hospital, I had no breath." Xiaowen said, "We were very sad? I didn't expect this disease... Later, I heard the doctor say that if the diagnosis is confirmed on the fourth day, there should be rescue. . But who would have thought of going to fitness the day before, and suddenly having a high fever and convulsions the next day? People are gone."

"Isn't there no symptoms before? But the symptoms are not directed." Wu Mian said? "Malaria in China is basically imported, and doctors don't have much experience, especially doctors under the age of 40."

"Fortunately, there is artemisinin." Guo Ruming said.

"Artemisinin is not a magic drug, not a panacea. However, it has the same curative effect, with minimal side effects, and because it is relatively new, it has almost no drug resistance in the past." Wu Mian said, "It is estimated that another twenty years will be passed. , The malaria parasite will appear to be resistant to artemisinin."

"Teacher Wu, according to what you said, you really can't go to tropical countries casually in the future." Guo Ruming was a little regretful. "When I was young, I liked to make documentaries, but documentaries didn't have enough food, so I changed my career."

"You are not full, you are almost full." Wu Mian smiled.

"It's just to eat." Guo Ruming said, "I want to wait for my old age to make a documentary about the world's scenic spots, especially Africa. But hearing what you say, I feel a little scared in my heart."

"No way, malaria in Africa can't be controlled." Wu Mian said, "If you really want to go, I suggest you take precautions."

"What protection?"

"The main thing is to prevent mosquitoes." Wu Mian said, "mosquito-preventing water is sprayed every day for no money...but too much spray is not enough. I met a French biologist who sprayed a lot of mosquito-repellent water on his body. It caused spontaneous combustion. Fortunately, there were people around, so it was extinguished in time and the burns were not serious."

"..." Guo Ruming was speechless.

"Come slowly, there are not many diseases that can be completely overcome." Wu Mian said, "By the way, someone has contributed to the Lancet recently. I took a look. Although I rejected the manuscript, I am still more interested in the brain. of."

"Oh? What manuscript?"

"That was a British doctor. He assumed that if Santa Claus had an infectious disease, what would be the impact."

"Foreigners are too full to eat, nothing to do." Matthew De said.

"Not at all ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Wu Miandao, "They assumed that Santa Claus had an infectious disease, and then visited children around the world at Christmas. They found that if Santa Claus had the flu, the flu among children worldwide would increase. . "

"Influenza is still a minor illness, but if Santa is infected with measles, a more contagious and very pathogenic disease, the consequences will be more troublesome and it will trigger a global measles outbreak."

"Teacher Wu, Santa Claus is fictitious." Guo Ruming said, "And in today's advanced medical care, how can there be such a global pandemic? This is too weird."

"Hey." Wu Mian shook his head slightly, "I don't think his analysis is wrong, but because "The Lancet" is serious, I suggested that he publish "New England" magazine."

"This is fine too?"

"People have professional mathematical models for analysis." Wu Miandao, "I asked, this article will be published in the November "New England" magazine."

"Myths and legends are one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse who judged mankind at the end of the day. It is the plague." Wu Mian said, "From smallpox to the plague, to the Spanish flu, who knows when the next time is."
