I Really Didn’t Want To Make A Lot Of Money

Chen Ling was also sent to the fourth ward.

"Don't worry, Mr. Chen, we will save you and Charlotte." Dr. Charles was still in the mood to joke and said, "Otherwise, who will pay for our medical bills?"

The test results showed that Chen Ling and Charlotte had the same virus. The specific virus needs to be further determined.

Chen Ling has a slight fever, besides nothing unusual, his mental state is also very good.

"Please diagnose as soon as possible and prescribe the right medicine." This is Chen Ling's only request. "The medical expenses will not be a problem. I can pay to your account now."

Dr. Charles laughed and said: "Just kidding! Our old friend Dr. Mike said that Mr. Chen is a great man. Although I can't see how you are, I believe Mike said."

Chen Ling knew that Charles was comforting himself. Human willpower and mental state play a very important role in defeating diseases. This has been confirmed by countless experiments and practices. Therefore, good doctors will try to put patients in a relaxed state, mobilize the patient's own immunity, and jointly fight the disease. .

"Compared with Charlotte, my symptoms are not very obvious. Why is this?" Chen Ling consulted Dr. Shire.

"There are many reasons for this. Personal physiques are different, so the same disease will have different manifestations. Your physique is better than Charlotte, so the temporary symptoms are not obvious." Dr. Charles said, "But, although you may not Love to listen, but I must say but, because our enemy this time is extraordinary."

"Oh? Is there a virus more powerful than Ebola?"

Charles shook his head. He was wearing a white protective suit, and when he shook his head, he looked like a cute white goose shaking.

"The Ebola virus is very powerful, but we are already familiar with it. Over the years, there have been outbreaks in Africa and many Ebola outbreaks. Experts all over the world have obtained a lot of scientific data and know the temperament of this virus. However, there is a virus that is filovirus like Ebola..."

"Filovirus?" When Chen Ling heard the name, he immediately thought of the earthworm-like images he had seen.

Dr. Shire explained: "Yes, because this virus has a filamentous appearance, it has this name."

"That's it!" Chen Ling suddenly realized. The security system had already shown the source of danger to Chen Ling, but Chen Ling didn't know anything about the virus. He didn't understand when he saw the filovirus. Otherwise, a more direct warning should be given in Sierra Leone.

When the two talked here, Dr. Charles was called away again.

Clinically, Charlotte is full of tubes, completely unaware of personnel. It may be because of the medication, or it may be caused by the onset of the disease.

Chen Ling looked at Charlotte pitifully, feeling guilty.

The two have not known each other for a long time, but because of an experience, they have a special relationship. It is precisely because of this experience that Charlotte was infected with filovirus. Chen Ling knew that although he was kidnapped by Betis and came to Sierra Leone, as long as he has a few days to figure out the situation, returning to Senegal safely is not a problem.

However, this does not allow Chen Ling to deny that Liu Ya and Charlotte came to Sierra Leone for their own safety, not to mention that they went to the Fulani territory because Liu Ya and Charlotte wanted a diamond mine.

Everything has cause and effect. Chen Ling believes that he is the original cause and effect of Charlotte's illness, so Chen Ling will heal Charlotte at all costs!

In the office of the clinic, Charles and Margaret took a few doctors to discuss the test results.

Dr. Margaret has done two tests personally, one is serological test, and the other is antigen test, both of which are common testing methods for early diagnosis. And to ensure accuracy, Dr. Margaret did it twice, and the results were exactly the same.

"We can be sure that it is a filovirus," Dr. Margaret said. "The good news is that this filovirus is not Ebola; the bad news...the bad news is also this."

"So, is it Marburg virus?" A doctor asked while looking at the test results.

Dr. Shire was also looking at the test results, his face was no longer the pretending to be relaxed when talking with Chen Ling, but his expression was solemn.

Doctor Margaret raised her hand, did not speak, and answered the doctor's question.

There are only two genera of filoviruses, one is Ebolavirus and the other is Marburg virus. Since it's not Ebola, it's Marburg.

"From the symptoms of Charlotte, I have a preliminary judgment." Dr. Shire said, "Now comparing the results of this test, it can be determined that Charlotte and Chen Ling have Marburg virus. Margaret, This is very troublesome!"

"It's really troublesome!" Dr. Margaret said, "Marburg virus has been discovered very little, there is not enough data, people have not mastered specific treatments, and the efficacy of existing antiviral drugs has yet to be further confirmed. Shire, We have to inform Mike and ask him to warn the government of Sierra Leone that there may be a Marburg virus disease outbreak in Kono!"

Dr. Shire nodded: "Chen Ling had already warned when he left Sierra Leone. The young man was very alert. Although he is not a doctor, he remains highly vigilant against infectious diseases..."

"But he was infected himself!" a doctor said.

Dr. Charles glared at him and said, "I think he was infected to accompany Charlotte here. He already knew that this is an infectious disease with a high fatality rate, but he still came with her..."

"Are they husband and wife?" another doctor asked.

"No!" said Dr. Margaret, "this is not the time to discuss this, we still have to take measures to treat as much as possible. First of all, I have the following opinions on Charlotte: supplement enough fluids and electrolytes, pay close attention For platelet and coagulation factors, timely transfusion, and platelet transfusion if necessary... Check the blood coagulation in the blood vessel and determine whether to use anticoagulant drugs for treatment..."

Dr. Margaret stated his treatment plan. Several measures are based on symptoms. It is like blocking a pool where water leaks; instead of treating the virus, because there is no medicine!

Whether Charlotte can survive or not depends on her own immunity!

However, like Ebola, the case fatality rate of Marburg virus disease is as high as 90%!

There was no better way for Dr. Charles, and he sighed and said, "Charlotte is already a severely ill patient, so he should use antibiotics as appropriate to prevent infection."

"What about Chen Ling?" a doctor asked, "He has very mild symptoms. Does he need medication?"

Charles shook his head and said, "He is in good condition, and I hope his symptoms will not get worse. There are documented records that some patients with Marburg virus disease have recovered by themselves."

Dr. Margaret agreed: "Chen Ling should stay in bed, stay isolated, give him a high-calorie, moderate vitamin liquid or semi-liquid food, and can also properly supplement electrolytes to maintain water, electrolyte and acid-base balance."

"That's it for now," Dr. Shire said, "I'm going to talk to Chen Ling."

"Are you going?" Doctor Margaret asked. "Or, I'll go with you."

Although you have to wear protective clothing when you enter Ward No. 4, you still take a risk.

"No. Please contact Europe, is there anyone who is willing to come over to collect specimens and take them back for virus isolation." Dr. Shire said, preparing to enter Ward 4.

Dr. Margaret was not confident, and said: "Those of your friends, would you be willing to come? Virus isolation requires a BSL4 level laboratory."

"They will!" Dr. Shire was very confident, "Some interest groups are looking for the virus everywhere, and they will fund experts to study the virus. This is a rare opportunity."

"Charle, we must first seek advice from Chen Ling and Charlotte." Margaret reminded.

"You are right... Let's go in together. You are better at talking. They agree, and we will contact our friends in Europe."
