My Wife Is A Miracle Doctor In The 80s

Chapter 364: Chapter 357 He Got SARS

“It’s bearable,” Gu Ning kneaded his own brow, indeed feeling somewhat unwell, but still within the range he could endure.

He didn’t take off his mask, nor did he suggest doing so, because he understood how this disease was transmitted. For his own and others’ safety, he would follow the doctor’s instructions.

Tang Yuxin had brought over a syringe.

“I need to draw some of your blood for testing, and then I’ll give you an injection to lower your fever. If the blood test results show that it’s a common fever, then there’s no danger. However, you will still need to be quarantined for a few more days.”

Gu Ning nodded and extended his arm.

Tang Yuxin rolled up his sleeve, her fingers coming into contact with his skin and body temperature. His arm was thick, the muscles on it greatly tensed. His veins were visible on the surface, indicating that he frequently exercised. His arm also bore numerous scars, revealing that Gu Ning’s achievements were not just due to his identity, but a result of literally risking his life. No wonder he was the head honcho of a top-tier security company.

Now she was curious as to where Zhang Xiaomei was; she hadn’t seen her yet.

She drew some of Gu Ning’s blood, and he sat there motionless, not even blinking his eyes.

Tang Yuxin put the drawn blood aside and brought over another needle to hang up for him.

“It might hurt a bit, don’t be afraid.”

She was comforting Gu Ning, a grown man, as if she was soothing a child.

Gu Ning was startled for a moment but then chuckled, his expression obscured by the mask.

As for whether the injection hurt or not, he honestly didn’t feel a thing.

Tang Yuxin’s hand was gentle, her vein finding was skilled. Generally, people didn’t even notice when she inserted the needle, especially sturdy men like Gu Ning.

She adjusted the dripper speed and then left the room, closing the door of the quarantine room behind her. She was preparing to take the blood sample to the lab.

Recently, the hospital had been swamped with patients. Anyone presenting with fever was sent to their hospital for quarantine treatment. However, despite this, there were still a few who didn’t survive, making it heart-wrenching for the doctors.

These deaths sparked public panic about the disease, and people’s faces would change color at the mere mention of it.

The hospital had accepted five more confirmed patients, and the atmosphere inside was growing grim. What was even more troublesome was the current shortage of doctors.

There were very few who dared to risk their lives to fight against this epidemic.

The result of Gu Ning’s blood test came out quickly. After all, these reports were practically given instant priority in the hospital now.

Tang Yuxin took Gu Ning’s blood test report and let out a sigh of relief. It wasn’t SARS but pneumonia. Ordinary pneumonia was good news, else it would have been a big hassle. Most people were unaware, but she knew that even after recovery, there could still be residual effects, something that was only discovered by people years later.

She took the prescription to fetch the medicine. There was no choice. The hospital was so short-staffed now that she had to do it herself.

“Xiaotang…” Seeing Tang Yuxin, Teacher Tao quickly approached her.

“Hello, Director,” she greeted Director Tao politely. She was just as respectful as before.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“You’re doing well,” Director Tao smiled. “Keep up the good work.”

“By the way,” he said, having something specific to discuss with Tang Yuxin, “There’s a patient named Gu Ning who’s the son of a friend. Please take good care of him as the hospital is currently understaffed. Thank you for the hard work.”

“Sure, I will,” said Tang Yuxin, presenting Gu Ning’s test results. “This is actually Gu Ning’s test report which I have here.”

Director Tao took it, skimmed through, and also breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, it wasn’t SARS. This meant he could report back to his old friend. If Gu Ning had to be quarantined, it would be a problem. However, even though it wasn’t SARS, Gu Ning still needed to be hospitalized.

He had already developed pneumonia. Being hospitalized was necessary; it was much better than waiting till the condition worsened, or even resulted in death.

When Tang Yuxin came in again, half of Gu Ning’s first bottle of medicine was already administered. He was sitting upright, his feet shoulder-width apart. This wasn’t the military, there was no need for such discipline.

She readjusted the drip speed and laid out the clothes on the table.

Gu Ning glanced at the clothes.

“Is it confirmed?”

He asked in his composed manner, as though even contracting SARS wouldn’t shake him.

“Yes, it’s confirmed.”

Tang Yuxin responded, handing him the clothes.

“Change into these later.”

“I appreciate it,” Gu Ning said indifferently, gazing out the window. What was he thinking about?

“Aren’t you going out?” He turned back to ask Tang Yuxin, who had not left. “It’s dangerous here, and you’re not wearing protective clothing.”

“There’s no need, I will be fine,” said Tang Yuxin, walking over to the bed to grab the pillow and place it on Gu Ning.

Being this close, Gu Ning could detect a familiar scent from her. It was very light and faint, almost undetectable unless he paid attention.

He squinted slightly, looking at the young doctor before him. Her eyelashes were long and her skin was fine. Although he couldn’t see her face clearly, he could tell that she wasn’t very old.

“Alright,” Tang Yuxin clapped her hands together.

“You can lean back now. It will be a lot more comfortable, especially since there are quite a few more bottles to go through. Later, we will move you to another room.”

“Alright,” Gu Ning concurred. This time, he obediently leaned back. He closed his eyes, adopting a resting posture.

Opening the door, Tang Yuxin went out to assist others. The hospital was filled with many patients recently, regardless of her being an intern, the work she was doing was equivalent to that of a usual doctor. The outside of the hospital was under strict quarantine. Shortly after, this hospital would only accept patients with symptoms of fever and cough.

When Yuxin stepped out, she was mindful of the time. Gu Ning had five bottles of medicine to go, which should keep him going until the evening.

“It’s mealtime.”

A nurse handed Tang Yuxin a lunch box. Looking at the box in her hands, she asked, “Could I have another one please?”

“Sure,” the nurse kindly handed Tang Yuxin another box.

During this time, they were all squeezing in meals during their downtime, even the canteen wasn’t an option for them.
