After the meeting, Captain Qian immediately arranged for people to build thatched huts at the clinic. Of course, these weren't for the medical staff from the county to stay in; rather, they were to move the original items from the clinic into the thatched huts and then convert the clinic into rooms for the medical staff. The clinic would be divided into several rooms for each group of medical staff who came.
The day after the meeting, the county's medical staff arrived. The villagers were quite curious and went to see what was going on. Unexpectedly, only one male doctor came, and he was quite ordinary-looking, not as handsome and noble as everyone had imagined. So everyone felt that the city people were no different from them, the country folk.
Wenxi didn't care about these things that had little to do with her, so she didn't bother to see what the doctor looked like.
After the doctor arrived at Fengshou Brigade and settled in, Captain Qian announced over the loudspeaker that everyone should go to the brigade headquarters to draw lots to determine the order of the free check-ups.
In rural areas, people rarely go to the hospital when they are sick or uncomfortable. They usually go to the village clinic instead. Moreover, not every village has a clinic; only large villages have them. Furthermore, the doctors at the clinics are often unqualified, having only undergone a short training period before starting work, unlike hospital doctors who have received professional training to become doctors.
So when they heard that free physical examinations were available, everyone was very excited and went to the brigade headquarters to draw lots. Only one person from each family had to draw lots, but unexpectedly, almost everyone from the elderly and young went to join in the fun.
Wenxi naturally wouldn't refuse something that was good for her health. She and a few other people she was close to at the educated youth settlement went to the brigade headquarters to draw lots. Since the people living together were considered a group, only one person needed to draw lots.
However, the educated youth settlement had many people and their hearts were not united. In the end, they still had to rely on rock-paper-scissors to decide who would draw lots. Wenxi and her two friends did not have this problem. Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue trusted Wenxi unconditionally and let her draw lots directly.
Wenxi drew a 'ten', she didn't expect to be so lucky, drawing such an early number, so the three of them could have their medical check-up sooner.
The day after the lottery, free checkups began. Families went to the clinic together for checkups in the order they drew lots.
Since it's just an inspection, the process is quite fast. Several families can be inspected in one morning, so it will be Wenxi's turn the next day.
When Wenxi and her two friends came to queue up the next day, they finally saw the doctor sent down from the county. Wenxi felt that he looked very familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before.
When it was Wenxi's turn, she stepped forward and sat down in front of the doctor. Looking at the doctor's face up close, she realized that this person was her ex-boyfriend, He Chen'an.
She was surprised to see how thin he had become after not seeing him for a while. She didn't even recognize him at first, which shows how much weight he had lost. She wondered what he had been through during this time.
"Comrade, please put your hand out." He Chen'an's voice was as clear and crisp as ever.
Wen Xi smiled faintly, then stretched out her hand and placed it on the pulse pillow. He Chen'an then placed his hand on Wen Xi's pulse to take her pulse.
Wen Xi was somewhat surprised, not expecting that he also knew traditional Chinese medicine. She had always thought he was a surgeon who performed operations, but she never imagined that he could do that too.
"Xiaoxi, why are you ignoring me?" He Chen'an suddenly asked in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, Wen Xi tried to pull her hand back, but He Chen'an held her wrist tightly. "Xiao Xi, I missed you so much. I was wrong. Please forgive me. I shouldn't have doubted your feelings for me because of what others said. I was so stupid. I knew they were retaliating against us, yet..."
"Dr. He, please have some self-respect. Also, please call me Comrade Wen or Comrade Wen Xi." Wen Xi frowned slightly and said in a calm tone.
The reason she agreed to date He Chen'an in the first place was that his conditions were secondary; the main reason was that she was attracted to his handsome face. Now, even the unmarried girls in the village are not interested in him, which shows how much his looks have declined.
Otherwise, just based on his reputation as a doctor, countless young girls would flock to him like moths to a flame.
"Dr. He, please examine me quickly, I need to go home and cook in a bit," Wen Xi urged.
There were still people waiting in line for their check-ups, so He Chen'an didn't want to waste any more time. He began to examine Wen Xi carefully, using the four diagnostic methods of observation, listening, questioning, and palpation. He was incredibly professional. When He Chen'an picked up the stethoscope and asked Wen Xi to open her shirt a little, Wen Xi finally understood why Captain Qian had given everyone a heads-up.
If some scoundrels were involved, they might actually force doctors to take responsibility for them because of some examination procedures and contact. If that's the case, then doctors who perform surgery in hospitals would have to marry every single patient.
Seeing He Chen'an frowning, Wen Xi asked with some concern, "Dr. He, is there something wrong with my health?"
"Do you sometimes feel discomfort in your heart?" He Chen'an asked.
Wen Xi nodded. Her heart ached from angering Lu Xiaoyun. That was the first time. Later, after returning from the mission world, her heart also ached. She thought it was because she couldn't bear to part with Qin Mi!
"You have insufficient blood supply to the heart, which is myocardial ischemia. Insufficient blood supply to the heart is difficult to cure, but with medication, the progression of the disease can be controlled and complications can be reduced and prevented. I will prescribe some traditional Chinese medicine for you to regulate your body first. Go back to the hospital in a couple of days to pick up the medicine, and I will bring it to you."
"Besides traditional Chinese medicine, what other medicine can I take?" Wenxi asked. There were some medicines in the first-aid kit she had signed for, but she didn't know if there were any medicines that could treat myocardial ischemia.
“Yangxin Capsules and Danshen Tablets are both safe to take. If you have access to these medications, please show them to me. Do not take them without authorization. I will be staying here for a while, and you can contact me anytime,” He Chen’an said, concealing the heartache in his eyes.
There were outsiders present, so he couldn't say or do much, because he didn't want to damage Wenxi's reputation.
Wen Xi nodded, then got up and left. She stood outside waiting for Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue. After they finished their check-up and came over, Wen Xi asked curiously, "How was it? Was everything alright?"
"These are just common minor ailments, nothing serious." Both of them had bright smiles.
"I'm fine too." Wen Xi smiled. She wasn't a medical student, so she didn't know if myocardial ischemia was a serious illness. But He Chen'an didn't say anything, so it should be alright, right?
She didn't want to die young; she wanted to live for decades longer.
