Chapter 154 The only solution is a cesarean section.
Zhao Jiajun looked at her politely and respectfully, and Du Ruoxia smiled and nodded.
"Thanks to your help today, otherwise I really wouldn't have been able to get these things back."
Zhao Jiajun was polite to her, and Du Ruoxia was also exceptionally courteous to him.
"I made a little thing here, you can take it and use it."
Du Ruoxia took out a homemade, all-natural mint stick from her pocket.
These mint sticks have a strong mint aroma and are all-natural with no additives.
Sometimes when I'm feeling down, just a little bit of that smell can make me feel much better.
Zhao Jiajun took the little thing and smelled it. The smell was really nice, and it made him feel refreshed.
"Sister-in-law, this is really good stuff, thank you so much."
Zhao Jiajun seemed to really like this mint stick.
As he left, he took it out and smelled it several times, his face beaming with a radiant smile.
Du Ruoxia was quite happy that someone liked what she made.
She closed the courtyard gate, picked up the medicinal herbs, and prepared to go inside.
Just then, someone rushed over in a hurry.
"Sister-in-law, there's a young woman in the family compound who's about to give birth. Her water broke right away, and it's probably too late to get her to the hospital now."
"I've heard you're a highly skilled doctor. I wonder if you can deliver babies?"
Yang Zeyan is a staff officer in the army, and although Du Ruoxia is not very old, everyone calls her sister-in-law.
Du Ruoxia opened the door to her house and placed several bags of medicinal herbs at the entrance.
She had never delivered a baby herself, but she had read medical books on the subject.
I definitely will, but when I think about the grievances I suffered before, I suddenly don't really want to go.
After all, it's not her area of expertise. If she tries to help someone give birth but something goes wrong, she'll only be creating trouble for herself.
When the visitor saw that Du Ruoxia hadn't spoken for a long time, he stomped his foot in frustration.
"Sister-in-law, please say something! That young woman is pregnant with twins, and it could be a double tragedy! The doctor from the family compound hasn't returned yet, so only you can handle this!"
After Du Ruoxia finished transporting the medicinal herbs, she raised her head, sighed heavily, and then spoke.
"It's not that I don't want to go, it's just that I've never delivered a baby before."
"You know about Bao Mei's incident. The child's biological mother saw my arm that had been set, and then the child fell again. How can you blame me for that?"
Du Ruoxia's words were tinged with difficulty, and the person who came understood her predicament.
"Don't worry, someone must have gone to the army and called that young wife's husband back. If you're worried or have any concerns, you can talk to him directly."
The other party handled this matter quite well. There were family members present, and the pros and cons were clearly explained, which will save a lot of trouble later.
"Okay, I can go and take a look, but this time I won't work for nothing."
Du Ruoxia had previously provided free medical care to everyone, but in the end, she didn't get anything in return.
From this point on, she will be charging the normal fees.
"Okay, okay, this is a matter of life and death, money is no object!"
Du Ruoxia took out a medical kit she had prepared beforehand from home, locked the door, and followed her.
The person walked very fast, and Du Ruoxia jogged to keep up with her.
Her mind raced as she recalled the medical books about childbirth she had read before.
To be honest, although she has excellent medical skills, she is not a general practitioner.
It was my first time delivering a baby, and I was a little nervous.
When Du Ruoxia rushed over, the young wife's husband also rushed back in a great hurry.
The moment he saw Du Ruoxia, he immediately stopped and saluted her.
"Hello, sister-in-law! It's so kind of you to make this trip."
The young man's attitude was very good; he seemed easy to talk to, which made Du Ruoxia much bolder.
She nodded and briefly explained the possible situations that might occur during production, emphasizing them one last time.
"This is my first time delivering a baby. I will do my best to save them and do so with a clear conscience."
The young man nodded quickly and urged Du Ruoxia to go inside.
“Sister-in-law, the situation is urgent right now. Only you can save my wife. Go ahead and do your best to save her. I won’t blame you no matter what the outcome is.”
The young man had also heard about Bao Mei's incident and felt indignant on Du Ruoxia's behalf.
"I'm not doing this for nothing."
Du Ruoxia emphasized it again before pushing open the door and going inside.
As soon as Du Ruoxia entered the room, she saw the woman in labor lying on her back on the bed.
There was a pool of blood and a patch of water beneath her.
Needless to say, this means the amniotic sac has ruptured and internal bleeding has begun.
She stepped forward and touched the new mother's belly, and couldn't help but frown.
The baby in front is breech, while the other baby, although in a good position, is being squeezed out.
There are only two solutions to this situation.
The first option is to try to change the baby's position, and the second option is a cesarean section.
The new mother was pale, and sweat was pouring down her forehead.
She kept her eyes closed weakly, without even the strength to open them.
Seeing that she had been struggling like this for a long time, Du Ruoxia guessed that the situation was not good.
But she clearly couldn't exert any effort, and even though the baby was in the correct position, she couldn't give birth.
The mother's condition was extremely critical; if she didn't intervene, it could very well result in the deaths of both mother and child.
Du Ruoxia frowned deeply, a sense of tension rising in her heart.
Although she had read medical books on the subject and performed countless surgeries on patients.
However, cesarean sections were not common in the 1980s, and even hospitals in the provincial capital had never heard of them.
She is now requesting a C-section. Will the mother and her husband be able to accept it?
Du Ruoxia took the woman's pulse and carefully examined her physical condition.
Both she and her child are in a terrible situation.
Du Ruoxia stared at her for a while, then silently withdrew.
The young man waiting at the door excitedly went to greet her as soon as he saw her come out.
How is my wife?
Du Ruoxia shook her head and told her everything she knew.
"The baby is breech and the mother is exhausted. She can't give birth to these two babies on her own."
"What should we do now? Sister-in-law, I've heard you're a skilled doctor, please, please find a way to save her!"
The young man was practically kneeling before her when Du Ruoxia solemnly explained the theory behind the cesarean section.
"The only solution now is to perform a cesarean section on the pregnant woman."
"A C-section? Does that mean opening up the abdomen and taking the baby out? That's too bloody and terrifying! Will my wife even survive?"
The young man was a bit agitated, so Du Ruoxia quickly took a few steps back.
I don't want to get hit by accident, that would be so unfair.
She knew that cesarean sections were not yet common, and many people had misunderstandings about this method of childbirth.
However, this method is the best when the baby is breech and the mother is unable to deliver the baby at all.
"A cesarean section, also known as a C-section, is a surgical procedure that involves cutting open the mother's lower abdomen and uterus to deliver the baby. After the incision is stitched up, the mother can walk around three days later."
"Cesarean section is performed to reduce the risk of life and health damage to the child caused by difficulties in childbirth."
