"Doctor, my grandson's arm is broken off, please take a look at it quickly."

"What's going on?"

Jiang Mengxue asked someone to hold the child and sit down, and began to check the situation.

"Hey, my little grandson is only nine months old. Some of his brothers and sisters were playing with him and pulled his arm and accidentally dislocated it."

It’s a simple matter. Just let the elderly hold the child, touch the child’s arms a few times with both hands, and then push the child back.

This kind of thing was quite common at that time.

The older child couldn't hold his younger siblings, so he pulled them by their arms and legs, and accidentally pulled them off.

Fix it a little to avoid it becoming a habitual dislocation in the future.

Elderly people of this age tend to trust traditional Chinese medicine, and Jiang Mengxue was too lazy to ask him to take the child to see an orthopedic doctor for such a small matter.

Just as we sent the old lady away, another mother and daughter walked in. Before coming in, the mother was looking at the door to see if there was anyone outside.

He pulled his blushing daughter to sit on the bench.

"Doctor, please take a look at my daughter. She's sweating all over when she has her period and can't even get out of bed. Can you tell me what's going on?"

Find out where the patient is looking and signal the girl to stretch out her hand.

I took the pulse carefully and recorded it clearly in the medical record.

"You have a bit of uterine coldness and qi deficiency. I'll prescribe some medicine to boil at home. Keep warm and don't eat raw or cold food. It's best not to use cold water to wash your face and hands. Don't eat anything cold in nature. Take good care of yourself. I'll prescribe medicine for half a month first. Come back for a follow-up visit in half a month."

Jiang Mengxue wrote out the prescription while reminding people of the things they should pay attention to.

"Doctor, you can't eat cold food, right? Then what are cold foods?"

"I'll write you a list of things like cucumbers, winter melons, mung beans, seafood, watermelons, and pears. It's not that you absolutely can't eat them, but try to eat as little as possible. Especially during menstruation, you must pay extra attention to keeping warm. Dysmenorrhea is something many people experience, so it's not a big problem for your daughter."

After seeing the two off, Jiang Mengxue rubbed her waist.

I really regret it. What was she thinking at that time? Why did she want to study medicine? This is not something a human being should do.

In fact, Jiang Mengxue really does not have any noble character to save the world.

It’s just because there is a shortage of doctors and medicine in this era, so many people will go to see a doctor even if they know a little bit of martial arts.

My thoughts at that time were very simple. It would be better if I could stay in a big hospital. If not, I could work as a barefoot doctor in the commune health center or in a small rural clinic.

At least she has stable work points or wages. There is really no better choice for her than this.

If I choose other majors, I don’t know what kind of job I will be assigned. Overall, I still feel unsure.

All she wanted was a stable salary. She didn't want to stay in the countryside farming, so becoming a doctor was just an option.

Every department is short of staff now. Jiang Mengxue will be called to help wherever there is a shortage of staff.

When the operating room is not busy, I go to the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine to see patients. Anyway, I am always busy.

The advantage is that there will be subsidies when salaries are paid, and you will get a bigger share when benefits are distributed.

As long as I'm not too busy or too tired, I can get through it.

Jiang Mengxue and Li Fengjuan both know some Chinese medicine, so patients with minor ailments often come here and they will check on them when they are free.

Jiang Mengxue just treated it as a practice. If one wants to improve medical skills, it is not enough to just read books, but also requires practical practice.

Alas, it's futile to think about all this.

When the time came, I told the nurse on duty and prepared to leave work.

I took off my white coat and quickly picked up my bag and left, fearing that if I left too late, I might have to work overtime if something else happened.

Before leaving, I glanced at the calendar. It was September 24, 1958, and the Mid-Autumn Festival was on the 27th.

I used to go home after getting my salary at the beginning of every month, but now it’s the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I have to go back early.

Every time this happened, Jiang Mengxue would find another doctor to take over her shift, and she could stay overnight when she went back once a month.

The other doctors had no objections. After all, Jiang Mengxue was easy to talk to, and they could ask her to take charge of the class if they had something to do. This was helping each other.

After leaving the hospital, she found a public restroom, put on some simple makeup, changed into some old-fashioned clothes, and put a headscarf on her head. She looked like a middle-aged woman.

Unless you are very familiar with it, you can hardly tell.

He walked into an alley carrying a basket on his back.

I came to a remote and dilapidated door and knocked.

A man came to open the door. He took a look outside and asked in a low voice, "What are you doing?"

Jiang Mengxue also replied in a low voice: "Selling things."

The other person raised five fingers.

Jiang Mengxue handed over five cents and the other party opened the door and let her in.

Jiang Mengxue had come in here without a ticket before, so she knew the rules here.

It costs five cents to sell things and two cents to buy things. It's impossible for people to keep watch for you for free.

This used to be a wealthy family's home, but it was later ransacked and smashed to pieces. The bricks and wood inside were all picked up. Even if they are not good materials, they can still be used after some simple repairs at home.

So it's not too messy inside. It's like a small market with things placed around the wall.

There are several alley exits around, so if someone comes, everyone can run separately.

As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, even families with limited financial resources want to buy some good things to have a good time during the festival.
