Chapter 653: Monkey plague, the harvest of cross-species diagnosis

"Take a flashlight to shine their throats!"
Li Quan knew that the structure of a monkey's mouth was somewhat different from that of a human. Because monkeys are wild animals, it is more difficult for them to obtain food than for humans.
Even when you are eating, you have to guard against the food being snatched by other animals.
Or be attacked by a beast.
So they eat very fast.
When visiting the zoo, we fed the monkeys bananas and other food. After they are obtained, they can be eaten by dividing by two.
Careful observation will reveal that they do not chew at all when eating, but quickly stuff them into their mouths.
Then you can see that their chin will quickly bulge two big red meat buns.
That organ is the unique magic weapon of monkeys.
It has a cheek pouch on each of its cheeks, commonly known as "crop pouch", which is specially used to store some food.
After the monkey gets the food, it will be swallowed into the mouth for the first time and stored in the cheek pouch. When it is safe, it climbs to the tree and sits comfortably on the branches, chews slowly, and enjoys the food.
The head of Garden Fu had already brought a flashlight, which was a strong flashlight used when visiting the garden at night.
Taking a photo of this little golden monkey's mouth, you can immediately clearly see the position of the shallow part of its throat and the situation inside the mouth.
It can be seen that there is redness and swelling in its throat, and there is inflammation, accompanied by mild mucosal pus.
"They should not be dripping in now, right?"
Seeing the symptoms in the golden monkey's throat and mouth, Li Quan had a clear heart.
"Isn't it? This female monkey was the first to become ill. She hadn't eaten or drink for almost eight days. She refused to drink even a sip of water. If it weren't forcibly suspended with nutrient solution, she would have died long ago."
The head of Garden Fu was full of sadness when he talked about the situation of the golden monkey.
This precious wild animal is a double-edged sword for the zoo. Introducing them and raising them in the zoo can attract many visitors to visit.
Tickets to the zoo can be sold well.
At the same time, these precious wild animals are often delicate and have to be served like their ancestors.
A little carelessness, if something goes wrong, the director and the breeder can hardly escape responsibility.
For example, if all three golden monkeys died this time, Director Fu would definitely take the blame and resign. It may even be subject to further punishment.
"Are there other monkeys in the park?" Li Quan asked again.
"Yes, there are more than 30 ordinary monkeys and two gorillas."
Many zoos like to keep common macaques.
Because of the low cost of breeding, it is also very popular with tourists.
Although they are a bit naughty, they do little harm to tourists.
At most, it is taking advantage of tourists to grab their hats and bags, and then ask the tourists what they want to eat.
Tourists come to the zoo for fun.
Although they were frightened, they were able to interact with wild animals, but they felt exciting and enjoyable.
"Did those monkeys show the same symptoms?" Li Quan asked.
"No, those ordinary monkeys are quite normal. Only these three golden monkeys are particularly delicate." There was a bit of complaint in Mr. Fu's words.
Compared with ordinary macaques, the difficulty of feeding golden monkeys is indeed higher.
It can be said that the animals that can become first-class protected animals are endangered animals in all likelihood.
To put it bluntly, their evolutionary speed has not kept up with the pace of the times, and there are some survival defects.
"If the other monkeys are normal now, that's the best. But I suggest you watch other monkeys more. As for gorillas, they belong to the Hominid subfamily of Primates, and their immune systems are very different from ordinary monkeys.
I don't think there will be any problems with them. "
Li Quan offered a piece of advice to the head of Garden Fu.
As a doctor, whether it is for patients or sick animals, all he can do is to perform a reminder duty.
For example, tell the patient to go to the hospital for further examination, or ask the patient to stop smoking or drinking, etc.
If the patient does not listen, the patient is responsible for the problem.
The doctor is not responsible.
Originally life is your own, and you don't cherish it yourself. Who can be to blame?
Gorilla is the primate closest to humans among all animals. But they are very different from the ancient apes.
In addition, the immune genes of gorillas are particularly bovine B.
I believe that everyone has a certain understanding of the AIDS that has changed countless men and women who are bothered. Such a powerful virus will cause almost no harm to the gorilla.
In other words, gorillas are infected with HIV and will not get sick.
But once a human is infected, it can basically only be controlled by taking medicine for life, and life is better than death.
It is never possible to become a normal person.
Li Quan has now developed specific drugs for leukemia and early-stage cancer, but he is not sure about developing specific drugs for AIDS.
There is no basis for this but one.
Mainly this virus is very powerful, it has super strong self-replication ability and survivability.
There is almost no way to eliminate it while ensuring that the patient is alive.
Scientists have speculated that the original HIV virus may have been transmitted to humans by gorillas.
As for how it was contagious, it is unknown.
There are some foreigners who are crazy about death and have no moral and ethical bottom line. It is strange not to be infected with this virus.
"Dean Li, what disease did these three golden monkeys get?" Director Fu couldn't help asking.
Since Li Quan reminded him to be careful of the other monkeys in the garden, it means that Li Quan has already discovered some diseases of these three golden monkeys.
"plague!"
Li Quan spit out two words lightly.
"Ah...Is there a plague in monkeys?" As soon as Director Fu asked this, he immediately felt that he was an idiot.
Plague is everywhere, but it is actually a general term for some particularly powerful infectious diseases.
That is to say, the level of modern medical science and technology has developed to a considerable height, so it is possible to accurately distinguish the types of infectious diseases.
Such as flu.
If placed in ancient times, as long as the flu can cause many deaths, it would be called a pandemic.
No one can say exactly which kind of plague it is.
It can only be divided roughly based on the patient's symptoms and death.
"As long as it is an animal or even a living thing, I think it is possible to get a plague. Not to mention monkeys, even some crops can also have plagues. For example, rice and peppers are prone to plagues.
The plague infected by these three golden monkeys is definitely not simple.
Their throats are already showing redness, swelling and suppuration.
If effective treatment drugs cannot be found in time and the right medicine is prescribed, they should not survive long. "
Li Quan's expression was serious, just hoping to attract the attention of Head Fu.
"Dean Li, those veterinarians and experts have already used the medicines that should be used, but they are not effective. Your medical skills are brilliant. I beg you. You must help me this time..."
Director Fu heard that Li Quan said that these three golden monkeys would not live long, and he panicked.
With a sad face, he pleaded with Li Quan again and again.
"The principal, principal, it's not good..."
A zoo worker ran in in a panic.
Maybe I didn't know that there were outsiders present, and the situation was urgent, so I was speechless.
After all, the arrival of Li Quan and Deputy Dean Min was extremely low-key.
President Fu also deliberately concealed this matter.
For any company, if there is something that can be solved by covering the lid, that would be great.
If it is exposed by some media reporters, you will have to peel off your skin without dying.
The golden monkey was seriously ill, and President Fu naturally covered it to death.
Never want to let the outside world know.
"What are you doing frizzy? Didn't you see any guests here? What's the matter?" Director Fu gave a lesson with a calm face.
This staff member glanced at Li Quan and Min.
An expression that hesitated to speak.
"President Fu, if you have anything you can do first. The treatment of these three golden monkeys, I can only say that you do everything you need to do, and you must be mentally prepared. Or please be smart."
Li Quan's time is much more precious than this Fu Yuan Principal.
Being able to come for a visit has already given great affection.
"This Dean Li and Dean Min are not outsiders, so please tell me what you need." President Fu seemed to have heard a hint of impatience in Li Quan's words.
He hurriedly asked the employee to say something.
"When I checked this morning, I found that a monkey was missing. After searching, the monkey died in a man-made tree hole."
The staff report tremblingly.
This was a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and the director of Fu Yuan was out of focus and almost collapsed on the spot.
But I can do whatever I am afraid of.
I just said that there is nothing wrong with ordinary macaques.
In the end, only a few minutes later, Li Quan's words were fulfilled.
The death of an ordinary macaque is not a trivial matter, but it is by no means a big deal. Director Fu can still solve it well.
But what he fears most is the death of ordinary macaques, and the death of golden monkeys.
At that time, he, the director of the garden, directly looked for a rope, and then an old tree with a crooked neck, and hanged it in the zoo.
Because the state of China has a very good spirit of tolerance, as long as a person dies, even if it is a great sin, it will generally not be pursued again.
"Check all the macaques immediately and closely observe their eating habits. The dead macaque carcass should be sterilized immediately, and then bagged and sealed in the cold storage. I will deal with it after I report it. By the way, quickly do the whole monkey garden Disinfection treatment."
President Fu realized the seriousness of the problem, and this time he believed in Li Quan's diagnosis.
A series of arrangements were made on the spot.
"Okay, I'll do it right away!"
The staff member hurried away.
"Dean Li is really a genius doctor! If I invited you over sooner, that macaque would not die. Please help me. Now what you say, I will do everything."
President Fu's trust in Li Quan has reached the top level.
It's exactly the kind of devotion that comes with treating Bodhisattvas.
"I'm just giving some suggestions. When Fu Yuan grows up, I don't have to take my words as the imperial decree. Since one common macaque has died, if I am not wrong, the plague has spread among the monkeys.
I suggest that you immediately lock down the monkey park and kill the entire zoo.
If the situation is serious, even the park needs to be closed.
All monkeys must take medicine.
Early treatment can minimize death. "
Li Quan gave a series of sincere suggestions.
As for whether or not Mr. Fu listened, that was the other party's business.
If the park is closed, this also means that the zoo will have no income. At the same time, it may cause certain negative effects.
On this point, the head of Yuan Fu might have to think carefully before he could make a judgment.
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away. I don't know what medicine these monkeys need to take?" Head Fu Yuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked Li Quan for medicine.
"I will diagnose and diagnose, and then see if I can prescribe a prescription."
Li Quan tried to check the pulse of the monkey.
This scene is somewhat funny.
However, Deputy Dean Min next to him looked serious and watched all this quietly. Director Fu couldn't laugh even more, he wanted to cry now.
"The yin and yang of the cunkou pulse are tight, the lung pulse is like a rolling ball, and the pulse is short and heavy. This disease is a bit serious. The main focus is in the lungs. The throat and mouth are red and swollen and purulent. It should be just appearance."
Li Quan made a diagnosis.
The so-called appearance is a unique term used in Chinese medicine diagnosis.
There are many diseases, such as colds, and you may feel head swelling and pain. But the lesion may be elsewhere.
Headache is the so-called appearance.
Western medicine is most afraid of this kind of disease where the appearance and the focus are not the same. Because Western medicine is good at treating head and feet with headaches.
Western doctors often misdiagnose this kind of disease that is obviously a disease of the feet but manifests in head pain.
This disease is very similar to the sound of guerrilla tactics.
Deliberately induce the doctor to misdiagnose.
But Western medicine is very smart, they are good at summing up experience and lessons. If the disease is not cured, after the patient dies, an autopsy will be performed to clarify the cause.
By dissecting the corpse, they can find the real lesion.
Then learn lessons, and next time you encounter a similar disease, you will not be misdiagnosed again, and you will know how to treat it.
It is precisely by this method that Western medicine not only defeats Chinese medicine, but also develops better and better.
Experience is an important criterion for judging the skill of western medicine.
The more experienced the old doctor, the lower the chance of misdiagnosis.
In fact, Chinese medicine is also very experienced, but compared with Western medicine, there is a fundamental difference.
The experience of western medicine makes me rote memorizing a bit after knowing the answer.
Traditional Chinese medicine needs to be dialectical to medical theory and pharmacology. It is equivalent to learning the method of doing the problem, as long as you learn to understand the method of the problem, you will encounter this type of problem again. If it is ever-changing, it can still be answered easily.
"I don't know what kind of plague these three golden monkeys have, but the disease is in the lungs. I just have to attack the lungs."
There was a hint of wisdom in Li Quan's eyes.
[You successfully performed Pulse Diagnosis, skill points +10000.]
[You successfully performed the observation technique, skill points +10000.]
Good guy, each of the two diagnostic medical skills has increased by 10,000 skill points, which is too exaggerated.
Is it because of cross-species diagnosis?
Li Quan could only think of this answer.
These two medical skills have long been promoted to the master state, but they have never broken through.
Because after being promoted to the master realm, if you want to be promoted again, you need up to 10,000 skill points.
Although many patients have been diagnosed in the past two years and many skill points have been accumulated, it is still a bit short.
It's all right now, just one step.
Both medical skills were promoted at the same time.
Li Quan was so happy.
At the same time, he is also very curious, what realm is it above the master realm?
