On the fourth floor of this hotel, a small conference room, arranged in a circle, all people formed a circle.

The meeting was chaired by Li Jiansheng, the director of the Navy General Hospital, who was the leader of the medical special group this time.

"Now that everyone is basically here. I want to apologize first. Because the matter is very urgent and difficult to deal with, we invite all the elites from the medical field here."

"Some people who are sitting here already know what is going on and have participated in the whole process, but more people just came here today and don't know what happened. Now I'll introduce the situation to you."

"First of all, we are now in the county town of Kaoshan County, southern Hunan Province, and what we are discussing today is a very spreading plague in a village called Lishan in Kaoshan County."

"plague?"

Many experts and scholars from the medical field who came here tonight, like Ye Rongyao, couldn't help but frown.

What is "plague"? It is actually a very contagious and difficult to cure disease. Because it is highly contagious, its harm is very serious.

From ancient times to the present, humans have encountered countless plagues, some of which are particularly serious, and have a huge impact on human offspring: **, plague, smallpox, flu, etc.

In general, plague is caused by infectious diseases caused by some highly pathogenic microorganisms, such as bacteria and viruses. It is generally caused by poor environmental sanitation after natural disasters.

Plagues have been recorded in Chinese historical materials. For example, "The Literature of Zhou·Tianguan·Zhongzai" records: "Disease doctors are responsible for nourishing the diseases of all people, and all the diseases in the four seasons are caused by illness."

"Lüshi Chunqiu·Jichun Ji" records: "If the summer order is carried out in Jichun, the people will suffer from epidemics."

This shows that the understanding of plague had reached a certain level at that time, and it was believed that plagues could occur all year round. One of the reasons was that the abnormality of the seasonal qi was caused by the "untimely qi".

The earliest existing traditional Chinese medicine book "Huangdi Neijing" also records it, such as "Su Wen·Su Fa Lun" points out: "When the five epidemics are at the end, they are all easy to get infected, no matter how big or small, the disease is similar... The positive energy is in the interior, and evil cannot be dried, so they avoid the poisonous energy."

In the history of China, once a plague occurs, a large number of people will die. In the ancient Three Kingdoms period, Cao Zhi's "Shuo Epidemic Qi" records that "In the 22nd year of Jian'an (the first year), the scattered Qi was spreading, and every family had the pain of zombies, and the room had the sorrow of crying. Some were closed and the door was killed, or the family was overthrown and the family was destroyed...

Wang Can, one of the seven sons of Jian'an, also recorded in "Seven Sorrows Poems": "...I don't see anything when I go out, and white bones cover the plains. There is a hungry woman on the road, holding her son and abandoning the grass. She heard the clamor and crying, she shed tears alone and refused to return. 'I don't know where I die, how can I finish the two?' She drove her horse away and couldn't bear to listen to this..."

For example, in which dynasty, as long as a plague occurs, there will be no situation where no one will die. Even now, when medicine is developed, people will die as long as a plague occurs. As for how many people die, it depends on the epidemic control situation.

For example, "**", "abian flu"...

When everyone thought of the bird flu, they couldn't help but look at Ye Rongyao.

"Why are you all doing to me?"

Ye Rongyao said with some depression.

I am not omnipotent, I don’t even know what kind of plague, how to treat it!

Of course, if it is "**", "bird flu", and "plague" that have occurred in China's history, Ye Rongyao can find a treatment plan.

But if it is an unknown plague, Ye Rongyao can only go to the scene to see it before knowing what method to treat it.

"Professor Ye, you are an expert in treating plagues. It seems that you have to rely on you this time."

A medical expert said.

"I don't know anything, so don't say that. Please ask Dean Li to continue to tell us about the plague situation!"

Ye Rongyao shook his head and said.

Now I don’t know what the situation is. Ye Rongyao is not stupid, so he won’t say that he can definitely solve it.

After all, there are many causes of this plague, which cannot be solved by superb medical skills. Some of them must be found.

This is a very complicated process, and Ye Rongyao cannot guarantee that he will be cured.

"The plague that occurred in Lishan Village is something we have never seen before and has no history. It is a completely new type of plague, because the first person to discover this plague was in Lishan Village in Kaoshan County, and we temporarily named it Lishan Virus."

"I just received news from a medical team stationed near Lishan Village that the Lishan virus spreads very rapidly. Now there are more than 800 people suffering from this disease. Xiangnan City has sent troops to quarantine."

"The thing that makes us most trouble now is that some soldiers in the army we are going to isolate have been infected with this virus. Our mission is arduous. We must find the cause of the disease in the shortest time and control the spread of this virus. This time, it depends on you."

"Also, in order not to cause panic, before finding a cure, the above requires everyone to keep this matter confidential and not to disclose any information to people outside."

Li Jiansheng said with a serious expression.

After all, this plague is more terrifying than the "**" I have encountered before. The "bird flu" is so contagious that Li Jiansheng rarely saw in recent years.

This is also why the country urgently invites top scholars and experts in the medical field from all over the country.

I am afraid of the spread of this plague. You must know that once it spreads before the cause and treatment are found, the harm is very terrible.

"Everyone will talk about their own opinions!"

Mr. Li also spoke at this time.

"I think the focus of this work is to find the cause, then control the spread of the disease, and then to study treatment methods."

Professor Zhang Haitang from Huaxia Medical University said.

"I agree with Professor Zhang's opinion. The key is to find out the cause. If the cause is not found, there is no way to talk about treating and controlling the spread of the plague."

Professor Ma Keshan, deputy director of Huaxia People's Hospital, said.

"I think the spread of the disease should be controlled first, and then search for the cause and study treatment methods. Once the disease spreads, the consequences will be very serious."

Professor Zhao Xilai from the First People's Hospital of Beijing said.

"I think this method is inappropriate. If the spread of the disease is controlled first, it will only treat the symptoms, not the root cause. At that time, the infection will spread to more areas, and by then, the disease will become more difficult to control."

Professor Zhang Haitang said.

"If we spend time looking for the cause of the disease first, what if we cannot find the cause of the disease in a short period of time, those diseases cannot be effectively controlled. Once it spreads, it will be very difficult to control it at that time."

Professor Zhao Xilai of the First People's Hospital of Beijing retorted.

"I agree with Professor Zhao's words. First of all, we must control the development of the epidemic, otherwise it will be very troublesome to spread. As for the cause, we can put it later and look for it."

"I don't know how to control the spread of this epidemic?"

"It is easy to find the cause of the disease. Who can guarantee that the cause of the disease can be found within one or two days!"

...

Soon a group of more than 20 people started arguing, mainly divided into two factions.

One school advocates first focusing on finding the cause of the disease, while the other school advocates focusing on the importance of work to prevent the further spread of the epidemic.

In fact, it is all for controlling the epidemic and finding ways to cure the sick people.

However, the two sides had serious differences on the focus of their work, and no one could convince the other party and could not persevere.

"Professor Ye, what do you think?"

Li Jiansheng asked Ye Rongyao.

After all, everyone here is an elite in the medical field and has made great achievements in the field of medicine. Many of them have higher qualifications than themselves.

Like Professor Zhang Haitang and Professor Zhao Xilai, these people are all imperial doctors under the leadership of the country, and as Li Jiansheng, they cannot suppress them.

However, Professor Ye Rongyao is different. He is not only a master of medical skills, but also a winner of the Nobel Prize in Medicine.

At the same time, he is the eldest son-in-law of the Liu family and the savior of Mr. Huang.

So Li Jiansheng wanted to hear Ye Rongyao's opinions. At that time, neither Professor Zhao nor Professor Zhang would say much.

"I have been listening here for a long time and I don't know what the situation is. I only know that it is an unknown plague. What is its characteristics, what is its transmission method, and what is the current situation?"

"I don't know anything, so everyone started arguing about prevention and treatment. Is it interesting? Is it fun?"

Ye Rongyao said with an unhappy look on his face.

Nowadays, there are many experts and scholars who like to come to meet to discuss, study, debate, and finally give conclusions.

Many things are cold and their discussion is not over yet.

Just like now, I didn’t understand anything well, so I started to debate and no one was convinced.

In Ye Rongyao's opinion, this is bureaucracy, which is what Ye Rongyao dislikes the most.

Therefore, at the People's Liberation Army General Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ye Rongyao did not allow the doctors below to come to discuss the patient's condition in the conference room.

To discuss the condition, discuss it in the patient's ward, or in the doctor's office.

The conference room is used for meetings, not for discussing the condition.

"I agree with Professor Ye's opinion. We know too little about the situation now. Don't discuss the treatment or prevention first. Let's understand the specific situation first!"

Mr. Li said.

After all, there is no practical significance for such a discussion.

But over the years, these experts and scholars in the medical field have become increasingly fond of leaving the scene and leaving the patients.

The specific matters are basically left to the interns, and they are only responsible for meetings and giving in to work, and they don’t care about other matters.

This atmosphere is very bad, which will make these experts' medical skills regress, so many people now do not believe in the experts' words.
