While she was waiting, more and more people came to the pharmacy.
She looked up at the patients coming in. In addition to those who were buying ordinary medicines, there were also patients who wrapped themselves tightly with masks.
“Any prednisone?”
As soon as this man came in, he asked about this medicine.
"some."
The salesperson at the drugstore took him to the corresponding medicine cabinet and gave him the one with the highest sales profit. "I recommend this one. It's the most effective."
The patient took the medicine box, looked at it, and then handed it to the salesperson, "Give me three boxes of this one, and two boxes of each of the others."
In addition to this masked patient, soon some normal-looking people came to buy the same medicine.
The medicines on the shelves were sold out and the clerk had to start restocking.
Fu Anan looked at them and curiously asked another idle clerk, "What is prednisone and what does it treat?"
She bought a lot of things in the drugstore, so the clerk was very enthusiastic and answered all her questions, explaining, "This is a drug that suppresses immunity and is anti-inflammatory. It mainly treats arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and many immune system diseases, such as purpura, lupus erythematosus, Sjögren's syndrome, etc."
"oh."
Fu Anan nodded when she heard this, and thought of the thirty-odd yuan she had left, "I want a box too, the cheapest one."
"OK."
The clerk walked over and took the medicine from the medicine box that his colleague had just opened.
Fu Anan took the medicine and saw the group of people who had chosen their medicines and were coming to pay, so she quickly stood far away.
A group of people who bought prednisone gathered at the counter. The cashier was constantly taking the medicine from the patients, scanning the code, packing, collecting payment, and giving change. After sending these people away, a large number of adults and children came to buy other medicines.
Fu Anan stood far away, looking at them in a daze, until someone called her.
Medical protective clothing was delivered.
A small van was parked at the door, and the trunk was full of boxes of medical protective clothing.
The delivery guy helped her move all the boxes into her car.
Fu Anan was just about to go up and help move the things when she suddenly saw a red spot on the arm of the guy who was moving the things.
"Brother, what happened to your arm?"
She stared at the wound closely, asking casually.
"Ah, this thing was only the size of a bean yesterday, but it suddenly spread out today."
The young man who was helping with the carrying replied when he heard this.
"It's so serious, aren't you going to take a look?"
This was the first time she had observed the red spot up close.
The large ulcerated area was dark red all around, and the color became lighter towards the center of the wound, exactly the same as lupus erythematosus.
"I'm going to send you these things and then go to the hospital. Many people have had this skin disease recently, which is really strange."
It's not a skin disease, it's an infectious disease!
Fu Anan became even more certain.
The young man nodded, and as he moved, sweat dripped down his chin onto the cardboard box. His face was red, and he looked like he had a fever.
Fu Anan lifted up the mask he was wearing and said, "You can't delay if you are sick. Big brother, hurry up and go to the hospital."
When all these things were loaded into the car, it felt like the entire car was filled with viruses.
Fu Anan put on two more layers of masks before she dared to sit down.
Feeling suffocated by the mask, she drove all the way back to the rental building.
