TCM Gaoyuan

Chapter 321

In fact, Gao Yuan is not idle at all. He knows that the key to preventing and treating 02 disease is water and feces management.He knew better about the sanitation situation in the countryside and everyone's living habits. In fact, it didn't take long. In two hours, Gao Yuan had a clear understanding of the situation in the village.

After Gao Yuan came back, Zhou Minghui was discussing with someone.In addition to their mobile team, the local epidemic prevention station, the cadres in the club, and the cadres of the brigade are also here to listen to the situation together.

"At present, we have detected germs in the toilet, broom, bench, mattress, and water tank of the patient's home. The child in the patient's home also has diarrhea, and we have also detected germs in his feces, but at present The child's symptoms are not obvious, and he may be a healthy carrier."

"At present, the feces of all the people in the brigade have been tested, and the test results will not come out until tomorrow. After inquiry, there are currently 12 people in the village who have diarrhea, and five of them claim to have diarrhea all the time. The specific results will have to wait for further investigation. examine."

"Analyzing the patient's action trajectory, the patient said that he went to the town near the river to catch fish three days ago. When he was thirsty, he drew water from a nearby well to drink. The fish was brought back and cooked. We suspect that the well There is very likely 02 germs in it, and the patient is most likely drinking unclean well water..."

Zhou Minghui frowned and nodded.

The staff at the nearby epidemic prevention station's face darkened. If there is a problem with the well water, more people will be affected.Nowadays, in order to save energy, many people drink raw water directly.

Zhou Minghui said: "Hurry up and arrange to test the well water, and at the same time test the feces of the residents around the well, and then go to the community health center to investigate and see how many patients with diarrhea have come to see a doctor recently..."

Zhou Minghui quickly arranged various tasks. Seeing Gao Yuan came back, he didn't have time to talk to Gao Yuan, so he frowned slightly.

After finishing the arrangement, Zhou Minghui was also a little puzzled, and muttered, "Why is there something wrong with the well water?"

Gao Yuan thought for a while, then turned to ask the cadres in the club: "Is there a toilet next to this well?"

The cadre replied: "Yes, there are several toilets next to it."

"Toilet?" Zhou Minghui looked back at Gao Yuan.

Gao Yuan nodded and said, "The latrines here are all dry toilets. They just dig a hole in the ground. There are no measures in the earth pit. There are wooden shelves on it, and people can sit on it."

"Ah, that's right, that's right." The cadres in the society nodded quickly, expressing so.

Zhou Minghui frowned.

Gao Yuan asked again: "If there are several dry toilets next to it, then the groundwater in that area must be smelly, right?"

The cadre said: "Yes, yes."

Zhou Minghui asked strangely: "Since it stinks, why would anyone still drink it?"

The cadre shook his head and said, "No one drinks."

"Huh?" Zhou Minghui was a little puzzled.

Gao Yuan said: "Do people nearby wash dishes, vegetables, and clothes here?"

The cadre nodded: "Ah, that's right, sometimes there is a spittoon for washing, and the toilet is next to it."

Zhou Minghui turned his head to look at Gao Yuan, and then at the cadre. Why did he feel that it was so difficult for him to communicate with this person? He said, "Then why didn't you make it clear just now?"

The cadre said confidently: "You didn't ask, I thought you big experts knew it all. Look at this expert, doesn't he know everything?"

Zhou Minghui was at a loss for words for a while.

Gao Yuan said to Zhou Minghui: "Captain, there is a problem with this well. I think your analysis is correct and the treatment measures are in place. However, I found that the toilets here have not been modified. This problem is very serious. .”

The cadre asked: "What do we need to do with the latrine, if you can pull it, it's fine?"

Gao Yuan told him: "It is not allowed to build toilets next to water sources, including wells and rivers. In addition, all dry toilets should be protected with cement at the bottom of the pit to prevent feces from seeping into the groundwater. It is a popular trend now. period, it should be disinfected with quicklime to kill insect eggs and bacteria."

The branch secretary of the brigade became anxious when he heard it: "Then why are you farming?"

Gao Yuan said: "When it comes to farming, I was going to talk about you. Your fields are across the river. How did the dung get there? Did you use boats?"

The branch secretary of the brigade nodded: "That's right, it saves effort. The fields in the upper half of the village and the lower half of the village can be transported in place. When they are delivered, everyone will pick the fields. Is there any problem?"

Gao Yuan said: "Of course there is a problem! You will pollute the water source like this."

The brigade secretary said, "Why? We don't use water when transporting manure."

Gao Yuan said: "This germ can survive in the water for one to three weeks. When you wash vegetables, dishes, and clothes in the river, it is easy to get infected with the germ. And there should be some people in your village who will directly pick up the bacteria from the river. Carry water?"

The brigade secretary nodded.

Gao Yuan pinched his eyebrows.

Zhou Minghui was also a little dizzy. The sanitation situation in the countryside was even worse than he expected. After an epidemiological investigation during this period, most of the patients were infected because of contact with infected water.If this problem is not resolved, 02 disease will be difficult to control.

Zhou Minghui said solemnly: "The problem of feces and water sources must be paid attention to immediately, and scientific and reasonable reform and management must be carried out."

The cadres in the club turned their heads and asked Zhou Minghui: "Then what should we do?"

"Eh..." Zhou Minghui didn't know what to say for a while. The situation came suddenly. He had never worked in the countryside before, so he needed to deal with the current problems one by one. It can be seen that everyone was watching him, and he couldn't say a word. Don't say anything, for some reason, he turned his head to look at Gao Yuan.

After thinking for a while, he tentatively asked, "Does Doctor Gao Yuan have any opinion on the current situation?"

Everyone else looked at Gao Yuan again.

Gao Yuan said: "First of all, each brigade needs to renovate the dry latrines. All latrines near water sources are dismantled and forbidden to be used. Other dry latrines should be treated with anti-seepage, disinfection and sterilization. In addition, excrement administrators will be selected in the brigade. full-time management and supervision.”

"Although disinfection treatment may affect fertility, nothing is as important as physical and life health at present. After this time, we will work hard next year and it will be another bumper year."

The brigade secretary and the cadres in the club nodded. Although they were a little helpless, they also knew that this was the best way.

Gao Yuan said again: "Also, every team leader has to be a part-time excrement supervisor, and no one is allowed to defecate anywhere."

The branch secretary of the brigade asked in surprise: "Is this something to be taken care of?"

Zhou Minghui said: "It will breed flies, and the flies will bring the bacteria in the feces to the bowl and food, and they will be easily infected."

The secretary of the brigade asked: "What should we do? How can there be no flies in this summer?"

Zhou Minghui said: "First, the food must be sterilized. Everything that goes into the mouth must be reheated and boiled, and the dishes and chopsticks must be scalded before use. Second, the leftover food must be put away and covered with a cover. First, avoid contact with flies. The third is the feces disinfection we mentioned, so that no more flies grow.”

The branch secretary of the brigade asked with some fear: "But...but now there are already a lot of flies everywhere, and they don't also carry bacteria, right? Doesn't it mean that there are already patients?"

Zhou Minghui pondered for a while, the flies are already flying all over the sky, what else can we do?He turned his head to look around, and saw that everyone was looking at Gao Yuan, including the members of their mobile team.Zhou Minghui's face froze, well, no one had hoped for him anymore, and they all felt that Gao Yuan was in the same boat.

Zhou Minghui asked again: "Has Dr. Gao Yuan figured out a way?"

The cadres also looked at Gao Yuan with questioning expressions.

Gao Yuan said: "There is no best way, only the stupidest way. It's the same as eliminating the four pests. Mobilize the masses from the root, slap them, and beat them! If you see a fly, beat it, and wipe it out completely!"

"Okay!" The brigade secretary got excited, and they will do this.

Zhou Minghui choked again, he thought it was some coup?The result is this!But thinking about it, there is really no better way.He looked at Gao Yuan, a little dumbfounded, why is this person so good at mobilizing and relying on the masses, what did he do before?
