"Xiao Chu, I didn't expect that we would meet under such circumstances. Thank you for coming here in such a hurry."
Military camp, medical team.
The person lying on the hospital bed and talking to Chu Yue was not Lu Zhanlin or Lu Yuanbao, but military doctor Hao.
Doctor Hao's real name is Hao Changfeng. He was originally from the southwest. When he was young, he joined the army and fought in the north and south with the troops. He never got married and had no children in his life. He spent all his time fighting against death and saving the lives of countless soldiers.
According to his resume, he could have retired gloriously in the capital, and the country would have taken care of him for the rest of his life, allowing him to live a superior and stable life.
But when people get old, they always want to return to their roots.
Doctor Hao no longer has any family in the southwest, but he is still willing to return to this land, treat the military camp as his home, and continue to devote the rest of his life to it.
Today's incident started early in the morning. Song Hongmei went to a nearby village to do mass work. This time she was accompanied by a young nurse from the health team and Doctor Hao.
Doctor Hao is old, and his legs are not as strong as when he was young, so he cannot walk for long distances on mountain roads. However, in the village they visited this time, there was an elderly man with a difficult and complicated disease, and ordinary doctors could not diagnose the symptoms, so Song Hongmei had to ask Doctor Hao to make a trip.
Doctor Hao was also happy about it, so the arrangement was made. They set out early in the morning and arrived at the village at noon. Everything was going smoothly. Doctor Hao was in a very good mental state and did not feel tired or exhausted.
However, due to a small accident in the afternoon, Doctor Hao fell!
The village was full of potholes, either slopes or pits. Doctor Hao fell directly into the ravine. Song Hongmei and others hurriedly pulled Doctor Hao up and kept checking him carefully, fearing for any accidents.
The good news is that there was no head injury, but the bad news is that Doctor Hao’s leg was broken.
Doctor Hao was in so much pain that cold sweat broke out on his face. He kept telling Song Hongmei and the others, "I'm fine, I'm fine... I just broke a bone. I'll be fine after a few days of rest."
It is said that it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. This is true even for young people, let alone someone of Doctor Hao's age.
If someone else fell like that, they might have lost half their life.
Song Hongmei did not ignore the seriousness of the situation. She immediately stopped what she was doing and arranged for someone to send Doctor Hao back to the barracks.
In the military camp, Doctor Hao is the only useful doctor. The other young people are still in the learning stage and cannot hold on at the critical moment. In addition, "doctors cannot treat themselves."
Song Hongmei hesitated whether to send Doctor Hao to the city to see a doctor, or to the military hospital in the provincial capital a little further away. It was Doctor Hao who was hesitant. =
"Looking for Xiao Chu, Lu Zhanlin's new wife."
Doctor Hao had heard of Chu Yue's reputation several times and had been praised every time. Now that he himself was injured, the person he could trust was Chu Yue.
So Song Hongmei went to find Lu Zhanlin.
Lu Zhanlin couldn't leave the army, so he gave the task of picking up people in the city to Xu Feng, so Xu Feng drove the military vehicle down the mountain to the city in a hurry, which scared Chu Yue.
This was also the first time Chu Yue met Doctor Hao.
In the ward.
Chu Yue looked serious and focused as she carefully examined Doctor Hao's injured right leg, measuring everything from the ankle joint to the calf bone and then to the major acupuncture points on the knee.
She finally determined that it was a fracture.
Because it was not dislocated, she could not use the traditional Chinese medicine bone-setting techniques that she specialized in.
Even if it is a fracture, there are many types of situations. It may be a minor bone fracture or a comminuted fracture. Especially at the age of Doctor Hao, this cannot be taken lightly.
There were no X-rays in the military camp, so Chu Yue could only rely on her professional instinct to make her judgment.
The people around didn't dare to breathe, they all kept quiet and watched Chu Yue examine carefully.
After a long moment, Chu Yue raised her head with clear eyes and said in a deep voice, "The calf bone is slightly fractured, the ankle is dislocated, and... the sole of the foot has a secondary injury. It is a comminuted fracture."
Magical, really magical!
Everyone in the silent clinic looked at Chu Yue in shock.
Doctor Hao sighed, then smiled and said, "Nothing really escapes your eyes."
Song Hongmei said excitedly, "Ayue, it's just as you said! Doctor Hao's foot was injured twice."
This is a funny thing to say. After Song Hongmei and others pulled Doctor Hao out of the ravine, Doctor Hao had no feeling in his right leg and didn't feel any pain, as if it was paralyzed.
So he didn't expect the injury to be so serious at the time. He thought it was just a normal fall and he could just get up and brush the dust off his clothes.
Doctor Hao was too stubborn and cared about his reputation, so he pushed away the people who were supporting him and insisted that he could walk by himself.
He took a few steps, and then there was a sound of bones breaking.
Now not only Doctor Hao knew about it, everyone realized that the problem was serious.
In order to protect the face of Doctor Hao, no one mentioned the part about "the sixty-year-old man trying to walk alone". No one expected that Chu Yue could see it at a glance and pointed out the key point.
Comminuted fracture, just these few words make one's heart tremble.
Song Hongmei asked worriedly, "This... can this be cured?"
"It can be cured. First put on a plaster cast and keep it fixed for four to six weeks to allow the bone to grow naturally. Remove the plaster cast after one month and develop rehabilitation training based on the recovery of the bone. If everything goes well, you will be able to walk naturally in about three months."
"Okay, then put on a plaster cast!"
The people around him did not give Doctor Hao a chance to speak and had already made the decision for him.
Doctor Hao protested, "You said to put on a plaster cast, so why don't you ask me as a doctor what I think?"
Chu Yue said, "Doctor Hao, you are not a doctor now, you are a patient. I am your attending physician. The most important thing a patient should do is to listen to the doctor's advice."
Just like that, Chu Yue said to put on a plaster, so she put on a plaster.
The young nurse quickly brought over the medical tools needed for plastering. Chu Yue took the medical gauze and rubbed Doctor Hao's right leg in circles, doing preliminary fixation first, and then using gauze mixed with soft plaster for a second wrapping.
Soft plaster is wet at first, and will dry over time, and after drying it becomes the common hard plaster.
During this period, the gauze and the patient's leg shape must be carefully adjusted. If there are gaps inside after the plaster dries, the fixation effect will easily be lost.
So Chu Yue leaned over again and again, making careful adjustments.
During this period, Doctor Hao had nothing to do, so he chatted with Chu Yue about family matters.
"Xiao Chu, I heard that you performed a Caesarian section on a pregnant woman. I saw the incision you sutured. The incision was small, the suture line was beautiful, and the scar was only a tiny bit big. It was quite perfect. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that you were a girl of your age..."
"And a few days ago..."
