Plague Doctor

The ferocious barking of dogs broke the silent night sky in the village, and the dim moonlight did not illuminate the night roads in the village.

Tian Yiqing walked on the road in a daze, stumbling a little and scratching her cheek from time to time.

The rental house she lives in is in a main lane of the village, and the village's community hospital is on the other side. She knew the location, but it was the first time in a year in this village that she had to see a doctor, at around three o'clock in the middle of the night. When she was walking out of the alley, a motorcycle passed by at high speed and almost hit her. The driver of the motorcycle cursed something in local dialect, as if he was saying that she was walking around in the middle of the night without her eyes closed.

Tian Yiqing just tightened her windbreaker and quickened her pace. The night wind chilled her heart.

When she arrived outside the community hospital by the main highway, she saw that the single-storey building inside was dark, and there was not even a doorman there.

There was only one village security guard sitting on a stone chair next to a flat building, dozing off...

"That's right, it's midnight..." Tian Yiqing murmured, scratching her face, looking at the deserted surroundings, and suddenly missed her hometown.

She held back the tears in her eyes. She couldn't find a car when she went to the town hospital at this time. Call an ambulance? Maybe it will be expensive?

Tian Yiqing had no idea. She walked around in front of the community hospital for a long time and had no choice but to take her mobile phone and call a co-worker, Sister Li. Sister Li was a few years older than them and had been working here for several years. She usually gave them a lot of advice. It's not that she can't help it, she doesn't want to wake people up in the middle of the night.

After the call was connected and she explained the situation, Sister Li suddenly said helplessly: "If you go to the community hospital in the middle of the night, who will look after you? Go to a private health station."

Sister Li gave her an address and told her not to be nervous. Maybe the cheap cosmetics she used were of poor quality and caused skin allergies. Then she fell asleep again.

"Oh." Tian Yiqing followed Sister Li's instructions and found it soon.

This kind of health station was opened by the barefoot doctor in the village in the past. It was usually opened at home, and a room was set aside to practice medicine. It was also licensed and qualified. There is a small clinic like this in her hometown, and it's not the deceptive hospital like in the news. This is the case with this clinic. The house is not far from the road and the door is closed.

But she followed Sister Li's instructions and slapped the fence outside the iron gate and shouted: "Doctor Liang, Doctor Liang! I'm here to see you, I'm here to see you."

Tian Yiqing patted for a long time, and the barking of dogs that had been heard around her became very close. She turned around and saw a big black dog standing in the distance. The fur all over its body was standing up, and it was grinning at her. While roaring, he stepped back. It was as if he hated her and was afraid of her.

She was also a little scared, and she quickly slapped the iron fence again. After another long while, the iron door was opened, and then the iron fence was pulled open.

A bald middle-aged man looked sleepy and said in a dissatisfied tone: "In the middle of the night..."

As soon as the man's eyes saw her face, he stopped talking and touched his forehead, "Skin allergy? Come in..."

"Dr. Liang, I didn't want to disturb you so late." Tian Yiqing didn't blame her for her attitude, but she was very anxious and her face was itchy. As she walked in, she said anxiously: "I don't know why. My face has been so irritated since yesterday morning." It's just a little itchy, but it's fine at night, and nothing happens before I go to bed in the early morning. It's just itchy and I need to scratch it, and then I wake up and it's like this."

There was a mirror hanging on the wall of the consultation room of the health station, and she looked at it blankly.

She is quite beautiful, that's why people watch the live broadcast, but now there are some skins on the cheeks on both sides of the nose that are slightly swollen. It's not like a rash, nor does it cover the entire area of ​​skin, but irregular patches. The blood red color looks like something growing out of the pores.

And it seems to form a pattern, a pattern? Or is it the way some kind of insect spreads its limbs? spider?

"Dr. Liang, I feel like there are bugs burrowing into my skin." Tian Yiqing said bitterly, "A lot of bugs..."

"I'm allergic." Dr. Liang yawned. "You must have eaten something wrong." He took out some pills from the medicine cabinet, including loratadine and dexamethasone. "I'll prescribe you some medicine for a week. Go back." Eat it once a day.”

Tian Yiqing felt a little relieved after hearing this, but her face was itching uncomfortably, "Doctor Liang, can you give me an IV drip? I want to get better soon."

"What kind of intravenous drip should I give?" Of course Dr. Liang was not happy. It was now midnight and he had to stay up all night after the intravenous drip was given. He had to close the door and go to sleep. "Little sister, skin allergies are just a minor matter. You take the medicine and go back to sleep." Maybe it’ll be better once you sleep.”

But Tian Yiqing is still begging, can she wear a mask to cover herself at work? What about the live broadcast at night? She has only started to have a few viewers, and her popularity will definitely take a hit if she is absent. She begged and begged, and finally Dr. Liang sighed: "Okay, okay, I'll give you a hormone injection."

In fact, it was dexamethasone injection. After Dr. Liang prepared the solution, he gave her an intramuscular injection.

"Let's go, it's closed." After the injection, Dr. Liang gave the medicine, collected the money, and immediately drove her away.

There were a few bangs, the iron fence was pulled up, and the iron door was closed again.

She had already received the injection, but Tian Yiqing still felt waves of unbearable itching on her face. The effect of the medicine had not yet reached its end. She just needed to hold on for a while...

The total cost of medicine and medical consultation was 200 yuan, but she was not reimbursed. This also made her feel disappointed. After spending this money, she would be able to live more economically this month.

Tian Yiqing looked at the dark night, sighed, scratched her face with her hands, then took the small bag of medicine and walked towards the rental house.

…

"Yiman, be patient, stop scratching, stop scratching."

The nanny car arrived at the city as quickly as possible

After entering the People's Hospital, Xie Yiman put on a black fashionable mask, got out of the car and walked to the hospital under the protection of his agents and assistants. When we were on the road, the agent had reported it to the company, and the company followed the hotline given by the Bureau of Secrets and made a report.

Because of this, before they even went to the emergency department or dermatology department, they were immediately taken to isolation by a group of medical staff wearing air-tight protective suits as soon as they got off the bus.

Xie Yiman was a little surprised by this, and his agents were even more anxious. Why should they be quarantined?

"We still don’t know what the condition of Ms. Xie’s skin symptoms is and whether it is contagious. We are following the procedure."

Since this is a city adjacent to Dahua City, experts from the Tianji Bureau will arrive soon; the Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention has also taken action and issued a number of emergency measures.

Therefore, the doctors at the city hospital did not perform any treatment on Xie Yiman. They just put on protective clothing and looked at the strange raised red skin on Xie Yiman's face through the glass window of the isolation ward. They were all confused.

"It looks a bit like lupus erythematosus..."

"It's somewhat similar, but there's no way the condition of lupus erythematosus can develop so quickly."

"Yeah, and it usually doesn't itch, or itches slightly."

Xie Yiman, who was isolated in the ward, could not hear these sounds. The itching on her face made her unbearable and she could only keep scratching and scratching.

More than an hour after they were admitted to the hospital, the medical expert team from the Tianji Bureau arrived, including Captain Gu, who had been in the limelight recently.

Love the Plague Doctor.
