"Not exactly," Gu Chenglin sighed, shaking his head. "A colleague dragged me into a late-night shift."
"Actually, I came here today to ask if you can still treat tuberculosis that's progressed to the point of vomiting blood."
"Vomiting blood? Tuberculosis typically doesn't cause vomiting of blood. At most, you'd cough up blood, possibly with blood-tinged phlegm."
Gu Chenglin was momentarily stunned. "My bad, I'm not as experienced as you," he admitted sheepishly. "Yes, yes, it's coughing up blood."
"In the past, it was difficult to say for sure. But with the invention of penicillin, it's become completely manageable, even curable," Gu Chengxi explained. "You need to tell your colleague to come here for quarantine treatment. Otherwise, it could get messy if the entire family gets infected."
"Oh, okay. I'll let them know soon," Gu Chenglin replied absentmindedly before exiting the clinic.
