Jack walked into the busy medical room and witnessed the chaos and pressure there. Doctors and nurses, including Alice, were all working hard to deal with the continuous influx of patients. The medical room was full of weary and tired faces, and the atmosphere was filled with tension and anxiety.
Alice looked surprised to see Jack and asked with concern, "Jack, what are you doing here?" Jack explained his symptoms: days of fever and muscle spasms, and expressed his concern about his own health. His face revealed unease and confusion, these symptoms were unprecedented for him.
Alice's face showed a worried expression as she told Jack that many patients in the shelter have been showing similar symptoms, suspecting it might be a new type of epidemic. She advised Jack to take care of himself and seek medical help as soon as possible.
Jack nodded, expressing gratitude for Alice's concern, and then carefully made his way to the clinic. He was filled with uncertainty but also a glimmer of hope, wishing to find a solution to his health issues. As he entered the clinic, a weary doctor looked up, quickly inquired about Jack's condition, and began the examination.
The examination room was filled with a busy and tense atmosphere. As the doctor quickly examined Jack and recorded his symptoms and vital signs, Jack felt a sense of inexplicable panic. He realized that this epidemic might be more serious than he had imagined, and every resident of the shelter might be facing unknown health threats.
In the examination room, Jack sat on the examination bed, facing the doctor, filled with worry and unease. When asked about when the symptoms began, he awkwardly admitted that the fever and muscle pain had been troubling him for three months.
The doctor's expression seemed somewhat displeased. He asked Jack, "Why didn't you come to see the doctor earlier? Delaying like this could worsen the condition." His tone carried a clear reproach.
The doctor began a series of examinations on Jack, including taking his temperature, listening to his breathing, and conducting some basic neurological reflex tests. He explained that Jack's symptoms could be caused by some kind of viral infection, which might become more active as the immune system weakens or due to environmental factors, leading to more severe symptoms.
"As a college student, you should know that early intervention and treatment are crucial for controlling viral infections," the doctor continued, his eyes carrying a serious and professional look.
Jack listened to the doctor and felt guilty. He should have sought medical help earlier, but considering the limited resources in the shelter, he didn't want to unnecessarily use valuable medical resources. Now, facing the reality of potentially becoming a carrier of the virus, he felt very regretful.
The doctor told Jack that they needed to conduct some blood tests and virus screening to determine if he was infected with a specific virus and to determine the appropriate treatment plan. He explained that in a closed environment, any infectious disease could spread rapidly, so timely diagnosis and isolation are crucial.
In the examination room, Jack felt a little nervous. The doctor's movements were quick and professional. After disinfecting Jack's left arm with alcohol, he deftly inserted the needle to draw blood. Although Jack felt some pain during the process, he knew it was for his health.
After the blood draw, the doctor looked at Jack with a serious expression and said, "Your symptoms are likely caused by a viral infection. At the moment, we cannot determine the specific virus. However, I will prescribe some painkillers for you, and you need to drink plenty of water and ensure you get enough rest."
Jack asked with concern, "Is this virus very serious? Have other people in the shelter been infected?" His eyes revealed anxiety.
The doctor nodded and replied, "Yes, currently about fifty people have shown similar symptoms. We are working hard to study the virus and hope to find an effective treatment as soon as possible."
Jack fell silent for a moment, then asked in a low voice, "Could this virus be related to the returning exploration team member? What did they bring back from the surface?" There was concern in his tone.
The doctor sighed, "This is what we are currently investigating. If the virus does indeed come from the surface, we may face even greater challenges. But for now, the most important thing is to control the spread of the disease."
Jack nodded, understanding the doctor's meaning. He knew that in this situation, everyone's responsibility became even greater. He walked out of the examination room, filled with worry about the future, but also with a hint of determination - no matter what difficulties they faced, he would work together with other residents to overcome them.
Holding the medicine powder given by the doctor, Jack felt weary and anxious. Slowly walking out of the busy medical room, he felt uneasy about the uncertainty of his illness, but what he needed most at this moment was rest. His steps were heavy, each one emphasizing the weakness and fatigue of his body.
Entering dormitory 103, Jack felt a moment of relief as he opened the door. His roommates had already started their day's work, and the room was quiet, with only him inside. Glancing at the clock on the wall, it was 8:30 in the morning. He walked to his bed, sat down gently, and then lay down slowly.
He placed the medicine powder on the bedside table, thinking about taking it on time at night. Lying in bed, Jack tried to relax his body and mind. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to temporarily put aside all worries and concerns.
Before long, Jack's breathing became steady, and he quickly fell into a deep sleep. In this small yet quiet space, he was finally able to temporarily escape from the burdens that were weighing him down. Even if it was only a brief escape, it was enough to give his body and mind the necessary rest and recovery.
