Chapter 1088 Xiaoyao suddenly fell ill
Heath ran into some minor trouble.
"Mr. Qianli, your daughter has a fever and is currently in the hospital..." Heath was holding the phone, he was a little overwhelmed, but he still tried hard to talk to the other party. After all, this kind of thing still needs to be explained clearly, otherwise it would not be good to make Mr. Qianli worry. But Heath couldn't figure out why Xiaoyao had a fever, and she fainted in the kitchen while talking to him, which made Heath dumbfounded. Fortunately, Heath reacted quickly and quickly took Xiaoyao to the hospital in Qianhong City. But now new problems have also arisen. After the typhoon hit Qianhong City, many medical resources are now very tight, but fortunately, the most basic diagnosis can be made, but whether treatment can continue depends on the individual situation.
After all, there are too many things missing in the current Qianhong City Hospital, and the beds are very crowded, so it .
If the situation is urgent, you need to be transferred to other cities immediately, or wait for the alliance's medical rescue team to come in. The typhoon that hit Asakusa City during this period has attracted considerable attention in the Kanto Alliance. People have enthusiastically donated money and materials, and medical teams have been sent to provide assistance. It has to be said that this is very effective. It is much better than the stupid thing that people in some places would do by mailing paper cranes to the disaster area after a disaster. After all, after a disaster, what people need is material assistance, not completely useless paper cranes.
Fortunately, Mr. Qianli was very reasonable. He just asked Heath to help look after Xiaoyao, and then he would fly over with his wife overnight. Heath didn't say anything about this. On the contrary, Heath himself actually felt a little guilty. After all, Xiaoyao was entrusted to him by Qianli, but Heath didn't even know when Xiaoyao fell ill. This made Heath a little confused. In the morning, Xiaoyao was still very normal and didn't look like she was sick, but all of a sudden, Xiaoyao fell down, and Heath had no idea why Xiaoyao fell down.
"Excuse me, who is Xiaoyao's family member?" Miss Joy came out and shouted loudly. Heath quickly raised his hand, then squeezed through the crowd and came to the front. Now Qianli and Xiaoyao's mother were not there, so he could only help temporarily. Fortunately, Heath could still help. Miss Joy did not give Heath any critical illness notice, which made Heath feel a lot more relaxed.
He was actually a little worried just now. What if Miss Joy handed him a critical illness notice and asked him to sign it?
"What are your identities and the patient's identities?" Miss Joy asked first . Heath quickly talked about his relationship with Xiaoyao. After hearing that Heath was only Xiaoyao's master, Miss Joy couldn't help but look at Heath again. However, she still didn't say much, but told Heath about the specific situation.
"It's tick infection. This disease is indeed difficult to detect. When we were examining Xiaoyao, we found a tick on her calf, and thus determined the disease she had." Miss Joy explained patiently. Many family members would be very excited in this situation, and some unnecessary medical disputes might even arise. However, Heath was very calm now, which made Miss Joy look at Heath with more satisfaction. As a medical worker, what she feared most was encountering the kind of family members who completely refused to listen and especially liked to interrupt others. They were very difficult to communicate with.
"Tick-borne disease?" Heath was stunned. He had heard of this strange disease. It was caused by a kind of insect, which was the tick. Ticks can basically lie on all mammals to suck blood, and they like to bury their heads in them. Because of the secretion of injected anesthetic ingredients, it is not easy for people to notice when the tick starts sucking blood. If it was just sucking blood, it would be fine, but the problem is that ticks also carry a large number of pathogens and bacteria, which can easily cause people bitten by ticks to become sick.
When facing ticks, you cannot pull them hard, as that can easily cause the tick's head to fall into the flesh and be unable to come out, thus causing infection and other troublesome diseases. When faced with this situation, you can often use fire or drip turpentine to let the tick loosen its mouth by itself, and then pull it off and step on it to death. This is the only way to deal with it, but you will need to go to the hospital afterwards, because people don't know whether the little guy who bit you is carrying any deadly germs.
The best thing to do is to go to the hospital for observation, so that medical staff can deal with it quickly. If you don't want to go to the hospital, then you are completely gamble with your life, which is no less than playing Russian roulette. After all, some diseases can really be fatal if they are not treated in time.
Heath knew what tick-worm disease was, but what Heath didn't understand was why Xiaoyao was bitten by a tick. You know, although Heath's food truck was not very effective against the legendary beasts, it was still very strong against these insects. Humans couldn't force their way in, let alone tiny ticks. However, considering those days in the shelter, Heath felt that it was not impossible. After all, there were a lot of people in the shelter, and there were many Pokémon, so it was normal for Xiaoyao to be bitten by a tick.
"Then can it be treated?" Heath was a little worried about this issue. Today, the Qianhong City Hospital was packed with people. He was worried that Xiaoyao could not get treatment.
"Okay, we've already given him antibiotics, but to be on the safe side, he needs to stay in the ICU for a day or two for observation. This typhoon brought some things from the island, and it would be very dangerous if marine dengue fever occurs." Miss Joy's words made Heath a little nervous. Heath directly agreed to Miss Joy's suggestion, and Miss Joy also took out the bill and asked Heath to pay it first. Heath looked at the price and found it was a bit expensive, but this was normal. After all, Xiaoyao was now lying in the ICU, and the cost of treatment for one day was at least 10,000.
This does not include the use of some medications, which would be even more expensive.
However, this money was not a problem for Heath. He paid without hesitation and waited outside. In the ICU, he could see Miss Joy and Happiny busy at work. Heath scratched his head. It seemed that he still needed to pay attention to insect prevention when he was in the wild in the future.
