Before Tian Cai had time to inquire, he ran into a patient with a serious illness who came to see a doctor, and he had no time to think about it.

It was past noon at that time, and two men came pushing a flatbed cart. Tian Cai happened to be in the yard. He was stunned when he saw this scene, and then he got up to take a look.

The man stopped the car and said nervously, "Doctor Tian, ​​Doctor Tian, ​​please take a look at my wife..."

Tian Cai bent down to look and saw a woman lying on the flatbed cart. She was covered with a thick blanket, with only her head exposed. There was no blood on the woman's face. She reached out and touched it, and it was cold, making people wonder if it was a corpse.

Tian Cai's fingers stayed on her neck for a while, and he even pulled up her eyelids to take a look, but the woman didn't move.

The man was a little nervous and was sweating in the late autumn weather. He wanted to reach out and push him away, but when he saw Tian Cai's calm face, he didn't dare.

Tian Cai lifted the quilt and found the woman's hand, then he put his hand on it without thinking.

Ever since the flowers on the bean sprouts bloomed, Tian Cai has become more sensitive in taking pulses. She feels that a person's pulse is a truly magical thing. The pulse clearly beats like the heart, making a thumping sound, but if you listen carefully, you can still feel the blood flowing out of the heart, passing through the eight extraordinary meridians and the five internal organs. Tian Cai even feels that she can now hear the situation of the blood flowing through, but this feeling is sometimes effective and sometimes not, and it is still a little uncertain.

At this time, Tian Cai was listening to the woman's pulse, listening to its weak beating, and could even "hear" it slowly flowing through the lungs and flowing everywhere, but suddenly stopped in the process of moving.

When the man saw her frown, he looked at him nervously and didn't dare to say a word.

When Tian Cai approached the flatbed truck, he smelled a faint smell of blood. After feeling the patient's pulse, he felt it more clearly. But with such a serious illness, why didn't he send the patient to the hospital?

Tian Cai opened her eyes and looked at the man, "How long has it been since she gave birth?"

"It's been almost three months, and she's been bleeding non-stop. I took her to the commune, but the doctor said he couldn't treat her and insisted we go to the county."

Tian Cai frowned and asked, "Then why don't you go?"

"I, we, have no money." The man was a little embarrassed and hesitated for a while before speaking in a low voice.

Tian Cai was surprised. "If you don't have money, you can borrow money from the brigade! You can pay it back with work points at the end of the year."

The man said, "We offended the captain before, and he didn't agree to lend us money. We only had enough money after we were given food to take her to see a doctor. Doctor Tian, ​​they all say that your medical skills are very good and the treatment is cheap. Please prescribe some medicine for her!"

"Her condition won't be cured in a day or two," Tian Cai said, glancing at the patched clothes of the two men, then at the people on the flatbed cart. She sighed and said, "In her case, no matter how good my medicine is, it has to be combined with acupuncture. It's a two-pronged approach. It won't take more than two months."

The man was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Then you can prescribe medicine. If you need acupuncture, then we can do it. We will come back tomorrow after today's examination."

The people behind him also agreed, "That's right, Doctor Tian, ​​we two brothers will set out before dawn tomorrow, and we will be here before noon."

Tian Cai: "You guys didn't come here this way today, did you?"

She glanced at the people in the car. They set off before dawn, when the coldest weather was at its worst, and this woman's condition meant she couldn't catch a cold.

"Which team are you from?"

"We're from the Fangshan Brigade," the man said. "We live closer to the inside, on the edge of the mountain."

Tian Cai frowned, not knowing what to do. He just thought that going back and forth like this was not good for a woman's health. Not to mention that the weather was getting colder and the chill was too strong in the morning, the road from Kaoshan Village to Fangshan Brigade was bumpy. How careful could two grown men be? And who knows how much suffering the woman would have to endure.

"Forget it, let's carry the person into the house first." Tian Cai stood up and greeted.

The man did not dare to delay and quickly untied the rope on the flatbed cart. Then he lifted it up with force and the door panel on top was lifted down.

The man called his brothers to follow Doctor Tian to carry his wife into the house. When they entered, they found that Tian Cai was not waiting for them in the main room, but in another room next to it. There was a row of wardrobes against the wall, and a wooden bed in the middle with bedding already made on it.

The man hesitated for a moment, but still placed the entire door panel on top. Because the door panel was too long, they simply placed it at an angle.

Tian Cai: "...put the person on the bed."

The two brothers hurriedly did as they were told, and after they put the man down, the man's brother went out first.

The noise finally woke up the woman who had been sleeping. She opened her eyes and looked around, but she was still a little unresponsive and stunned for a moment.

Seeing that she was awake, the man hurried forward and held her hand, "Big sister, this is Doctor Tian's house in Kaoshan Village. We are here to take you to see a doctor."

The woman was anxious, "Where's the bra?"

Seeing her anxious, the man hurried to comfort her, "He's at Aunt Wang's house. She'll help take care of him for a few days."

The woman finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Tian Cai put on his white coat and saw that the couple had almost finished talking. Then he walked over and gave her a reassuring smile, "Don't be afraid, I'll check you now."

The woman's situation was somewhat similar to Sun Xuelian's. Both of them had continuous lochia after childbirth. This condition is called metrorrhagia in traditional Chinese medicine, and the severity is determined by the mother's bleeding.

Sun Xuelian's condition was much milder than the woman's, and the duration was shorter. She could walk normally before, but her health was much worse and her complexion was not good. Besides, Sun Xuelian had a miscarriage while she was giving birth. The woman could not get up from the kang because it took too long.

According to her husband, the amount of bleeding is not heavy, but it is continuous. This situation is also very dangerous. If the bleeding is not stopped in time, no matter how much medicine is taken, it will not get better.

Tian Cai didn't know if the clinic had any hemostatic drugs for this situation, but he had seen prescriptions for the disease in medical books. Now, judging from the situation, acupuncture should help the patient recover faster.

Besides, I have enough dew now, so I won’t be as stingy as before.

Tian Cai knew that there were still many rural women who gave birth at home and did not see a doctor after giving birth. Even if they did, they were unwilling to take off their clothes for a thorough examination, and they would just endure when they were sick.

In fact, this is a problem of this generation. When they become parents and grandparents, they are also willing to endure the illness until they can no longer bear it and are sent to the hospital. By then, the disease is already serious.

The mother of one of Grandpa Tian’s patients was such a case. It is said that she felt stomach pain when she was sleeping at night, but she refused to go to the hospital and kept enduring it. She couldn’t sleep all night. She went to the hospital the next day because she couldn’t bear it anymore. After examination, it was found that she had appendicitis perforation. If she had come a little later, she would probably have been transferred to the crematorium.

This didn't teach her a lesson, and she continued to endure even when she was sick.

It can be seen that enduring illness is a common problem among people of this generation.
