I run a clinic in the United States

Chapter 179 I’ll take the first shot!
After the news came out, many people were naturally very excited.

However, several doctors kept their faces gloomy and complained secretly, feeling that Zhou Qiao was exaggerating!
The main reason is that it is so unreasonable and beyond their understanding that vaccines and specific drugs have come out so quickly!

It’s impossible for an academician of the National Academy of Medicine of the United States to come!

This overturns what they have learned over the years, unless Zhou Qiao is cheating!

Black Scorpion and Margaret were also very encouraged when they heard about it.They are the fans who support Zhou Qiao the most.They are outsiders and do not know professional knowledge. They only know that Zhou Qiao is the most trustworthy person.

Doctor Zhou, you won’t joke about this kind of thing!

Then, someone secretly leaked the gossip, which caused quite a ripple in the base.

Some military officers privately discussed with their colleagues whether the vaccine that was developed so quickly could really be used.Putting aside the toxicity, are there any strong side effects?
The most important thing is, does it work?
If it doesn't work, and you fall ill, or just die, wouldn't it be bad luck?

After Margaret heard these remarks, she came to Black Scorpion to discuss: "Would you like to find out who is spreading the rumors?"

Black Scorpion waved his hand and said calmly: "Ignore it. When Dr. Zhou's vaccine and special medicine come out, everything will be solved!"

Soon, vaccines and specific medicines will be available.

Zhou Qiao spoke, spitting and nailing. He did not let everyone wait for two days. The door of his medical laboratory opened the next afternoon, and Zhou Qiao walked out and announced in a high-profile manner that the first generation of vaccines and the first generation of specific drugs were ready. , healthy people who want immunity, or severe patients who need specific drug treatment, can sign up!

As soon as the news came out, the entire base was in an uproar!

Although we have received the news before, there are still many negative discussions and questions, but this news is ahead of schedule, and it still feels very unexpected and shocking to everyone!
However, Zhou Qiao did not prepare many of the first batch of vaccines and specific drugs.

The vaccine is only for 200 people.

There are still more than 7000 healthy people in the base, and there are only 200 people. It's really a matter of quick hands, but slow hands don't!
But the special medicine can be used for 500 people, and each person can receive one course of treatment.

This kind of special medicine is mainly in the form of tablets. Each tablet contains 2 mg. For adults, 4 mg is taken orally each time, which is 2 tablets. Once a day, a course of treatment for seven consecutive days. A single person needs 14 tablets. A serving of 500 people is 7000 tablets. , the actual amount is actually very small, only 14 grams in total.

If we had to put a price on it, 14 pieces would cost almost $300.That’s almost more than 1 US dollars per gram.very expensive.

Of course, we are testing new drugs now, and it is all for the sake of the stability of the base, so we will not charge money for the time being.

If it is a child, it can be reduced according to the weight, such as half, one-third, or one-fourth.It can be swallowed or dissolved in water and fed.

Zhou Qiao printed out detailed medication instructions and gave each of the sixteen nurses a copy.

There were still more than 489 patients in the medical area of ​​the base when Zhou Qiao came, but many people have died these days, so there are only [-] patients left. In other words, almost everyone in the base can enjoy it.

When the news came out, there were indeed many people who signed up to try the medicine and they were very enthusiastic.

After all, who wouldn’t want to try a new medicine and give it a try to someone who is dying soon?
If you give it a try, you may have a chance to survive. If you don’t give it a try, you may survive for a few days before going to see God!
Patients who were able to get out of bed took the initiative to come to Zhou Qiao's laboratory and asked to try new drugs.

The patients who were unable to get out of bed but were conscious and able to speak kept calling doctors or nurses, scrambling to be the first, for fear that the opportunity would be snatched away by others!
Those patients who were lying unable to move, speechless or unconscious could not speak. However, some of them had relatives accompanying them, so they immediately found Zhou Qiao and begged his relatives to try the medicine!

As soon as possible, immediately, immediately!
Any later and the patient might have died!

Zhou Qiao told them that they all had a role to play, and asked them not to rush and go back to their (or relatives') beds, and the nurses would make arrangements immediately.

After hearing that everyone had a share of the new medicine, everyone became a little quieter and returned one after another. However, it was difficult to suppress the excitement and expectations in their hearts, and there was a lot of discussion.

No matter what, there is hope after all!It’s better than waiting for death, not knowing when death will come, and being on the verge of despair!

Of course, before administering the drug, the nurses will confirm whether it is voluntary to take the new drug.

Sixteen nurses work in pairs and are divided into eight groups to administer medication. That is, one group is responsible for about 60 patients. Those who can take the medication by themselves or have relatives accompanying them can do it very quickly. Just ask and they will give the medication if they agree. Please tell me the dosage and frequency of taking. If you don't agree, just skip it.

Only those who were unable to move and had no relatives around needed the help of nurses to give medicine. At this time, it didn’t matter whether the other person agreed or not, because they were all about to die. Zhou Qiao ordered that the medicine be given directly.

Dissolve in water and feed.

If you really can't feed him, you can also get spare injections from Zhou Qiao and infuse them directly.It’s just that the injection is troublesome to make and the quantity is relatively small.

Several doctors did not move at first, but when they saw that trials of new drugs were in full swing, they became a little excited.No matter what, it's better than watching patients die every day!
"Perhaps Dr. Zhou Qiao's new medicine is really good?" Chen Zhining sighed and took the lead in joining the ranks of helping.

Seeing this, the other two doctors also stepped forward.

Sampson pondered for a long time, and finally ran to his girlfriend Bayisa to help her take medicine for the sick patient.

Along the way, I didn’t meet any patient who refused the new medicine!
"Papa, Papa, your life-saving medicine is here, your life-saving medicine is here, we can go home soon!"

When it was almost Tariku's turn, he was very excited!
Wearing protective clothing, Taliku stood guard in front of his father's hospital bed. Watching the nurse getting closer and closer, his body could not help but tremble slightly.

He is a mercenary recruited locally by the Violent Queen organization. He belongs to the Tsunami Mercenary Group. He joined the organization at the age of 16. It has been almost three years now!
Tariku was born in an indigenous tribe ten kilometers away. When his father became seriously ill, he was immediately taken over because family members of soldiers were eligible to enter the medical area of ​​the base.

At least there are doctors from the United States at the base and all kinds of medicines. If you are in the tribe, you can only ask the tribe's witch doctor for treatment, or leave it to fate.

However, the tribe's witch doctors could only use some collected herbs or cast spells.

Tariku had been exposed to the training at the base and knew it was foolish and useless.

However, at first, his mother and brothers were strongly opposed, mainly because they heard that people at the base need to be cremated after they die, which they absolutely cannot accept!
Even though Tariku strongly requested, his family members did not agree.

As a result, a funny scene, or a sad scene appeared.

When the tribe's witch doctor cast spells on the infected tribesmen, he unfortunately became infected himself!

Because when the witch doctor was casting the spell, he actually kissed the infected person!Taliku was dumbfounded and wanted to stop him, but he was stopped and cursed by the tribesmen. As a result, he watched the witch doctor become infected!

Within a few days, the witch doctor died!

Then, the tribe performed the funeral for the deceased, and every relative came forward in grief and kissed the body of the deceased!

Tariku knew this was a tribal custom and there was nothing he could do to stop it or change it.However, he can leave with his father!

So, he immediately put on the biochemical protective suit issued by the base, secretly carried his father on his back, and headed towards the base. Without transportation, he had to carry an adult weighing more than 130 kilograms for more than ten kilometers!
In the end, he placed his father in the medical area as he wished.

At that time, his family actually discovered it, but did not pursue it. It was not that they thought the base was good, but that Tariku was promising and could actually "cast spells"!

Because they didn't know biochemical protective clothing, they just thought that Tariku was dressed strangely, and it looked like a witch doctor when he cast spells!
When the news spread, the tribesmen also cheered, Taliku became a witch doctor!You can see him for medical treatment in the future!

Tariku was helpless. He also wanted to take his mother and brothers out, but his family members were unwilling.

Fortunately, his mother and brothers were safe for the time being, so he only took care of his father.

He stayed with her in the quarantine area for several days, and she didn't know what the situation was like at home.However, you can tell with your toes that the situation must not be good.Maybe, family members have already been infected!
However, the isolation area of ​​​​the base can only be entered but not exited. If he comes in to accompany his father, he will have no chance to go out again!

I originally thought that the whole family would be blamed for this disaster, but unexpectedly, now the special medicine is here!

As long as he recovers, he can go home immediately and bring his family with him when the time comes!
"Mama, brothers, you must hold on! You must wait for me to go back!" Taliku prayed secretly.

At this time, the nurse finally came to him and asked, "Do you want to give your father medicine?"

"Yes, yes, I am willing! My father is willing too!" Taliku said quickly.

Then, he got 14 tablets of special medicine as he wished, a small package wrapped in a small paper bag!

As if he was holding 14 precious diamonds, he carefully poured out two of them, stuffed them into his father's mouth on the hospital bed, and then carefully fed him a sip of water.

Seeing his father's Adam's apple squirming and swallowing, he was worried that it would still remain in his mouth, so he gave him a few mouthfuls of water again.Finally, I gently opened my father's mouth and took a closer look inside. Fortunately, I actually swallowed the special medicine!
Taliku's hanging heart finally relaxed.

Suddenly, something moved in his heart, and he quickly raised his hand and shouted to the nurse: "Nurse, I sign up for the vaccine!"

The nurse said: "Okay, I will report it to Dr. Zhou later and he will make arrangements for you."

More than ten people in the ward also applied for vaccination, and the nurses made statistics.

The trial of the specific drug is progressing smoothly, and all patients in the ward have taken (or been injected with) the specific drug.

After the trial ended, those who had previously signed up for the vaccine were injected.

As for the rest of the staff, they were still a little afraid.Including some nurses.

Of the sixteen nurses, only three were vaccinated.

Afterwards, Zhou Qiao took the vaccine and the medical staff outside and found the black scorpion.

When they came out, they changed into new clean protective clothing, disinfected and sprayed to ensure that the virus in the isolation area was not brought out.

In the past, there were no vaccines or specific drugs, so the quarantine area could only be entered and exited. But now, Zhou Qiao is very confident that the patients are expected to recover and the quarantine is not so strict.

At least, healthy medical staff are the first group to move around freely in protective clothing!

Black Scorpion was very excited and immediately passed on the order to start "promotion".Unfortunately, he was given a cold reception.Almost no one signed up!
Because Zhou Qiao is too young and alone, and the time is too short, the vaccine has not yet gone through clinical trials, so they are being used as guinea pigs.

Vaccines are different from specific drugs.Special medicines are specifically targeted at critically ill patients.Try a miracle drug?Haha, this is not a problem at all!
Because life is at stake, the mortality rate after infection is as high as 99.99%. Instead of waiting to die, it is better to give it a try!
However, vaccines are given to healthy people, and healthy people need to take great risks.

Dr. Zhou came here and worked for no more than five days. Is the vaccine produced in such a short period of time really reliable?

In addition, there were negative gossips that went viral before, so naturally no one dared to fight!
"What now?" Margaret asked Black Scorpion.

Black Scorpion sneered and said, "I'll do it first! Gather everyone, I'm going to take this first shot openly in front of everyone!"

"Commander, is this really good?" One of the guards moved his mouth and couldn't help but ask.

Black Scorpion waved his hand and said, "The reason why you have doubts is because you don't understand Dr. Zhou!"

He didn't say much, he just sat quietly. After almost all the healthy people who could come to the base came, he announced in a high profile that he would take the first shot of the vaccine himself!
As soon as this decision came out, the audience was in an uproar.

Zhou Qiao smiled and said, "Let me inject it for you myself!"

Black Scorpion turned back, smiled slightly, and said, "This is my honor!"

He took off his clothes and exposed his thick arms. Zhou Qiao disinfected his skin, then took out a dose of vaccine, inhaled the syringe, and then slowly pushed in a needle!
In fact, although Black Scorpion had the courage to be the first to try, and publicly put on a show in front of the entire army, with thousands of people watching, in fact, deep down in his heart he was prepared to die, and it was not as he seemed on the surface. It appears so calm and calm.

"Doctor Zhou should be trustworthy. Besides, rather than abandoning the base, it is better to die here! If Dr. Zhou can't do it? Who else can solve it?"

Black Scorpion was in a state of confusion, but in the end, he faced it calmly!
The base commander personally took the lead, and some other soldiers, especially those who had been treated by Zhou Qiao in San Francisco before, such as Margaret, took the initiative to ask for help and started lining up to get the vaccine.

Most of these people are military officers. With them taking the lead, more and more soldiers have joined the vaccination ranks.

But in the end, only a small half of the two hundred vaccines were consumed, with 120 doses remaining.

This result is really speechless.

Those who do not come to fight naturally have a cautious attitude of waiting and watching.

I want to see the effect. If the effect is good, it’s not too late to apply again!

If it’s not good, don’t fight!
Sampson is also this type of person, and has not joined the ranks of vaccinations. Although he helped distribute special medicines before, he was taking them to the patients, not himself.The patient is about to die, so taking medicine doesn't matter much.If you don't eat it, you will die anyway.

Now when he gets vaccinated, he actually gets vaccinated!

Although he admired Zhou Qiao a little, he would never do it if he wanted him to risk his own life.

He whispered to his girlfriend Bayisa: "Dr. Zhou is really experimenting with human lives. However, only these black people are willing to let him mess around. If he does the same thing in Europe and the United States, he is guaranteed to be punished." Beat the shit!”

Bayisa was startled and said quickly: "Don't talk nonsense. Doctor Zhou is not that kind of person."

It was actually that night when Jacqui put a gun to Sampson's head, which frightened her!She looked around, fearing that the law enforcement team from the base would come and arrest them and imprison them!
Fortunately, they were standing in the corner and no one noticed them.

……

Seeing that the rest of the people were motionless, Black Scorpion snorted coldly and announced that they were disbanded. If you need anything, you can take the initiative to come to Dr. Zhou.

If you don’t want to, haha, the body is your own, then forget it!Don't force it!

However, when you get sick, don't blame me for being ruthless and locking you all down!

Zhou Qiao smiled slightly and didn't take it seriously.

I really think I am asking you to take such a precious vaccine!

After today, all future vaccines and special drugs will have to be paid for!
A course of special medicine costs 14 US dollars, which is [-] tablets. A vaccine costs [-] US dollars. You can take it or not, and eat it or not!
As for the civilians in the surrounding tribes, they are not rich. If they can come up with money, it would be best. If they can't, they can pay off their debts with work!
For example, how long should you agree to mine for free in the mining area and sign an agreement?

However, room and board are included.

With the power of the base, they are not afraid of these people breaking the contract.

Zhou Qiao found Black Scorpion and told him about the idea. Black Scorpion couldn't help but praise him. He felt that Zhou Qiao's idea was the best of both worlds.

It not only solved the problem of disease, but also increased the manpower in the mining area.

After he reported it to Luo Ya, Luo Ya also agreed to the plan.

Pay the debt with work, and the base will not suffer!You know, they are not here for charity!
Even so, those people still took advantage of it!Without Zhou Qiao, he would have no choice but to wait for death, without even a chance to work and repay his debts!
Black Scorpion spoke highly of Zhou Qiao and said a lot of good things about him.

Luo Ya secretly laughed, Black Scorpion would also try to flatter him in a different way!

……

The special medicine was really miraculous. That night, Tariku's father became more conscious, opened his eyes, and said a few words to Tariku, which made Tariku so happy that he stayed up all night!

In fact, many patients have experienced significant improvement!I felt more conscious about taking the medicine the next day!

Things get even better.Some people who couldn't get out of bed before tried to get out of bed and move around.

The main reason is that after lying in bed for a long time, I feel uncomfortable all over and develop bedsores.

The four doctors were shocked!
They originally thought that Zhou Qiao was cheating, taking human lives as a joke, or doing random experiments. They didn't know how many lives would be needed to develop a truly effective new drug.

The reason why I took the initiative to help yesterday was purely because I saw the general trend and treated a dead horse as a living horse.

Help does not mean that you are convinced.

Who knew that the effect would be visible the next day!

To say it was immediate is an understatement.

The special medicine made by Dr. Zhou is actually real and really effective!
Gosh, he is also an accomplished pharmacologist!

Incredible!

Chen Zhining excitedly waved his fist and shouted loudly: "Doctor Zhou is mighty!"

After calling, he realized that he was speaking in Chinese, so he yelled again in English: "Congratulations to Dr. Zhou, this is a great miracle in the history of medicine!"

Other doctors: "..."

Sampson: "..."

After being stunned for a moment, they also started to congratulate!
Especially Dr. Sampson. He was under too much pressure before and felt like he was going crazy. He also made some drastic actions.Later, Baysa comforted him, not only with words, but also with his body, which was equivalent to both physical and mental comfort, and he felt better.

Looking back, Sampson feels like he really was a clown!I couldn't bear the pressure, and my mentality almost collapsed. It's embarrassing to tell anyone!
"Baisa, no matter how the other party did it, it's already amazing if it can make the patient better. It's a pity that our uncle no longer has the chance to enjoy it!"

Bayisa was silent, wiped his tears, and said to himself: "Uncle, if you had persisted for a day or two, you would have been saved! What a pity..."

Many things have no ifs!
Baisa could only mourn her uncle silently in her heart.

The doctors were very excited and began to believe that as time goes by, the patients will definitely get better and better!

In fact, this is indeed the case. The trials of specific drugs are progressing smoothly. The patients in the base medical area are getting better day by day, and it is obvious that recovery is in sight.

When the news came out, many people who had not been vaccinated before could not help but want to get vaccinated.

Unfortunately, the staff told them that only the first day was free, and subsequent vaccines and special medicines would all be charged.The price was then posted at the entrance of the base and in the tent-dense area in several places!
Those people regretted it endlessly. However, most of these people were mercenaries and still had some money on hand. They were just upset because they did not take advantage.

As the patients improve, the isolation area at the base is gradually opened, allowing some patients or attendants to go home.

Tariku was an expert hunter. He captured a fat antelope in the Great Rift Valley and brought it to Zhou Qiao to express his gratitude!

Zhou Qiao was disrespectful and accepted it!He changed hands and gave it to Black Scorpion, who said he would eat roasted whole lamb in the evening.

Some other people also followed suit and hunted plump prey and gave them to Zhou Qiao.

Someone even hunted a leopard alive and uninjured, tied it up and gave it to Zhou Qiao.

This kind of leopard is called "Golden Leopard" in China. It is also a very powerful beast and looks great!And it also protects animals.

But in Africa, in the chaotic Suesokeng, human life is like a piece of grass and it is difficult for people to survive. Who will protect animals?
Zhou Qiao was shocked, thinking that if it was a cub, I could still raise it, but for such a big adult leopard, forget it.He handed it to Black Scorpion and asked him to deal with it.

Zhou Qiao suddenly became very rich.

It is worth mentioning that someone actually gave him a large bag of white bugs. Black Scorpion told him that this was a local delicacy, and if he was not the most respected person, they would not give it to him!

Zhou Qiao also passed it on to Black Scorpion, who really couldn’t eat it himself!

Tariku walked more than ten kilometers with his father back to the tribe, and then found that the entire tribe was in mourning. His mother and several brothers were also lying in a dilapidated grass shed, very weak.
