Chapter 60: Comrade, can you castrate a pig?
The commotion here quickly attracted everyone's attention. Doctor Liu asked in surprise, "Comrade Lu, you've cured it already?"
Doctor Wang was originally squatting in front of his fellow villager, but the next second he appeared next to Lu Youyou. His agility was very inconsistent with his age.
"What was the problem and what steps did you take?"
He was concise and to the point, and he was completely different from the caring old man just now.
"The foreign body in the esophagus can be judged by palpation. It is round and has no edges. After massaging the esophagus, it falls into the stomach. If there is no abnormality in the follow-up observation for half an hour, it can be judged by palpation."
Doctor Wang looked up in surprise, obviously not expecting Lu Youyou's wording to be so professional.
When he came over, he had a basic understanding of the condition of the two cows. The calf was most likely suffering from esophageal foreign matter. This young female comrade not only had an accurate diagnosis, but her treatment method was also accurate.
Letting foreign objects fall down the esophagus sounds as simple as squeezing a stone through a tube, but once you try it you realize that most people can't even make a cow obedient, let alone rub its throat. If you're not careful, you might get your ribs broken.
Doctor Wang held the calf's head with one hand and touched its chin all the way to its abdomen with the other hand. He carefully observed the calf's condition and nodded, saying, "Not bad, it was handled very well. The young comrade is very good."
The old comrade didn't care whether this was the leader's wife or not. He felt quite happy to see a fellow traveler.
He pointed at the old cow and said, "Look at this again."
Lu Youyou quickly expressed his judgment, and Doctor Wang nodded repeatedly. If he had grown a beard, he would have definitely touched it happily.
"We have the equipment. Comrade Lu, would you like to try it out?"
Such a "simple" hospital actually has equipment? !
Lu Youyou followed Dr. Wang to the room on the far left with great surprise. The old comrade opened the lock very solemnly, but the moment the light came on, she was dumbfounded.
This is an old instrument that has only appeared in documentaries. If it can be considered an instrument, I have to search for its name from my memory to remember it. I don’t even know if it’s correct.
That old-fashioned camera with a flashlight-like thing attached seems to be called a microscope camera?
Lu Youyou was at a loss, she didn't know how to use such stream-of-consciousness stuff!
Doctor Wang pointed at the microscope and said, "Comrade Lu, look, this is the treasure of our hospital. I risked my life to get this one. Many big hospitals in the city don't have it!"
The old comrade looked at the baby more affectionately than when he was looking at his own grandson. He spoke to the baby from a distance of one meter, for fear that his breath would scare the baby.
Lu Youyou is very self-aware and will never pretend to know something if she doesn't.
"Doctor Wang, I won't handle something this expensive. You should do it. I'll do the same when I look at the pictures and analyze them."
Upon hearing this, the old comrade's eyes became even more relieved. The young comrade did not have the airs of a leader's relative at all, and he understood and appreciated the difficulties of grassroots work!
"Okay then. Comrade Lu, you take the sample first, and Doctor Liu, you do the operation."
Doctor Wang handed over a slightly prickly glass petri dish and a test paper of poor quality.
The crude experimental equipment made Lu Youyou feel involved. This was the daily work of a veterinarian in the 1970s.
However, no matter how crude the tools are, Lu Youyou's technique is still professional. Now the three men in white coats look at Lu Youyou differently.
It doesn't seem like he's here to gild his reputation, he really has some skills.
Not only were they amazed, but Lu Youyou was too. Dr. Liu was watching very seriously when operating the microscope.
You never know when you might need it, so it’s better to learn it early.
After waiting for an hour, the results came out. Doctor Wang's conclusion was the same as Lu Youyou's, that the old ox just had a cold.
When the fellow villager heard the result, he touched his chest and shouted that he was lucky. He also said to the great statue in the office, "Thanks to you." Finally, he held Dr. Wang's hand and almost had tears in his eyes again.
It’s good to have a cold, at least it can be cured. If it’s a serious illness that cannot be cured, he would be ashamed to face his fellow villagers.
Doctor Wang did not take credit for it: "Fellow villager, you should thank this female comrade. She was the one who diagnosed the disease and prescribed the medicine."
When the fellow villager saw Lu Youyou, he became very reserved. He did not have the boldness at all when he rushed to Doctor Wang and said, "There is a new doctor at the Animal Husbandry Station. Thank you, comrade, thank you!" He even bowed as he spoke.
Lu Youyou was startled and quickly supported the person.
Unexpectedly, when she supported the fellow villager, he didn't know where to put his hands and feet, and it was hard to tell whether he was crying or laughing on his face.
Lu Youyou was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Just as she was about to resort to the "it should be" method, she heard the phone ringing in the office.
"Hello, livestock station... Really? Okay, okay, we'll be there in a minute."
The youngest doctor in the white coat answered the phone and came out to announce, "Doctor Wang, Doctor Liu, Xiangyang Commune said that all the pigs have arrived and are waiting for us to come over."
At this time, the old comrade turned to Lu Youyou in a very amiable manner and asked: "Young comrade, can you castrate a pig?"
The first one to crack was Jiangchuan, who suddenly felt that he could not understand Chinese.
How can the two words "luyouyou" and "castrated pig" be connected together? !
He was a little afraid to look at Lu Youyou's expression.
My sister-in-law won't be angry, right? He is looking for a dog team consultant, and it's really not a big problem if he doesn't know how to castrate a pig.
"Yes, are we going now?"
Lu Youyou thought this was also part of the assessment and agreed readily.
Not only can she castrate pigs, she can also castrate dogs and cats, and she has even castrated elephants and rhinos. She has castrated countless testicles. Perhaps the three doctors in white coats here have not treated as many species as she has.
Jiang Chuan only felt a cool breeze blowing between his buttocks and subconsciously took a step back.
Originally, the livestock station would take a horse carriage when going to the countryside. This time, Jiang Chuan took the initiative to be the driver, carrying three people and a dog to Xiangyang Commune.
Originally, there was no Lightning, but it didn't want to be left behind, so we had to take it along. Moreover, it didn't want to go to the spacious back seat, so it had to squeeze in the passenger seat with Lu Youyou.
Doctor Wang said with a smile: "It seems that Lightning has recovered well. He will be able to return to the team after a period of rest."
Doctor Liu also said, "If we had known that it was Comrade Lu who was going to rescue Lightning, there would be no need for the assessment, and you wouldn't have to run around and cause trouble!"
It wasn't mentioned when the army called before, and Jiang Chuan also forgot to mention it, so the two of them didn't even think about it.
Lu Youyou was very modest: "Since there are rules, we should follow them. I have learned a lot from this trip."
Doctor Wang nodded repeatedly: "Comrades who came from the army are still more conscious. Some troubles cannot be avoided. If they are avoided, it will only cause trouble."
The old comrade's insights into life deeply touched Jiangchuan's heart.
He is the one who least wants trouble, but one more thing now will save him trouble in the future.
He is looking forward to the evaluation report from the animal husbandry station, and he is sure that the evaluation will be higher than he expected.
Next was another bumpy dirt road. When Lu Youyou got off the car, his stomach was already in his throat.
The young lady felt miserable, but she had to finish the road she had chosen even if it made her vomit.
