The next day, Yan Feifan arrived at the emergency department for work before 7:00 a.m., just as he always did.
However, something happened this morning that left Yan Feifan and the entire medical staff of the emergency department shaken.
At 7:24, an ambulance brought in an unidentified patient having what looked like an epileptic seizure.
The medical staff transferred the patient into the emergency hall. Just as they were preparing to examine and treat him, Dr. Zhu Haifeng, the attending physician in charge of the ER, noticed that something was wrong with the patient's symptoms.
He immediately warned everyone.
The patient might be having a rabies episode.
Rabies can be transmitted between humans, but only after the infected person begins to show clinical symptoms.
This is because of the pathogenesis of the rabies virus.
