"Teacher Liu, the patient's temperature is still a bit high. His coughing has become severe. We've collected blood and stool samples and initiated a CT scan," Miao Rui approached Liu Banxia the next morning after Liu Banxia returned from breakfast in the canteen.
Liu Banxia nodded. "Let me know once the CT results are out. Based on the current situation, what's your assessment?"
"Um... Teacher Liu, I think the patient's symptoms are worsening," Miao Rui replied. "Perhaps the onset of his illness was chronic. Considering the progression from when he was admitted yesterday until now, it might have entered the acute phase."
"Teacher Liu, do you think it could be some kind of infectious disease? After all, we've done so many tests. Unless it's a particularly rare virus?"
