Chapter 165 She has no obligation to provide care.
Du Ruoxia wrapped herself in the blanket and closed her eyes comfortably.
With an extra blanket, the bed was indeed much warmer.
With the help of a hot water bottle, Du Ruoxia slept very comfortably.
As night fell, Du Ruoxia fell into a deep sleep, but unexpectedly, someone knocked on the door in the middle of the night.
Du Ruoxia, still asleep, first vaguely heard a knocking sound. She was still deep in her dreams and didn't even want to open her eyes.
Then the sound grew fainter and fainter, and came directly to her window.
"Dr. Du, Dr. Du, my wife is having a seizure! Please come and save her!"
The sound was so close that it pierced through the eardrums in an instant.
Du Ruoxia, who had been keeping her eyes closed, was startled and jumped back to her feet.
She suddenly opened her eyes and sat bolt upright in bed.
Before my mind could process it, the shouts from outside the window grew even louder.
"Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law!! Sister-in-law!!! Wake up!"
Du Ruoxia quickly put on her military overcoat. The shouts outside were so urgent, like a death knell. Du Ruoxia didn't even have time to comb her hair before rushing to the window.
Du Ruoxia turned on the light, and the man, knowing she was awake, spoke with a slightly distorted voice of joy.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, sister-in-law, my wife is about to give birth, come out quickly!"
Du Ruoxia lifted the curtain and saw a somewhat unfamiliar comrade anxiously jumping up and down across the yard.
"Please wait a moment, I'll quickly tidy up and be right out."
It was clear that the other party was in a great hurry. Du Ruoxia fought off her sleepiness, got dressed, and tied her hair.
When she dragged her tired body out carrying her medical kit, the young man was so excited he almost pounced on her.
"Let's go."
Du Ruoxia's voice was indifferent, and she couldn't help but yawn.
The young man quickly nodded and led the way.
He walked away quickly with a flashlight in his hand, and Du Ruoxia, in her haste to leave, forgot to bring the flashlight with her.
The young man had already run far away, while Du Ruoxia was still groping her way around in the same spot.
The roads in the family compound have been repaired, but it's easy to accidentally walk into the bushes.
Du Ruoxia walked this short distance with trepidation.
Following the young man to his home on the second floor, they indeed heard a woman moaning.
"Sister-in-law, please take a look at my wife."
The young man nervously rubbed his hands together as Du Ruoxia pushed open the door and went inside.
A woman wearing a military overcoat was curled up in a ball, clutching her stomach and groaning incessantly.
Hearing the door open, she immediately turned around.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, my stomach hurts so much, please come and save me!"
Her voice was strong and clear, unlike what someone with a stomachache would say.
Even so, Du Ruoxia still stepped forward.
She sat on the edge of the bed and took the woman's pulse. The pulse was steady and strong, not like someone suffering from a deficiency.
Looking at her belly again, it was round and the amniotic fluid hadn't broken yet, and the baby inside seemed quite calm.
She closed the door and checked her cervix.
There were mild contractions, but the dilation wasn't even one finger.
In such a situation, the child simply cannot be born.
"You haven't had your attack yet; it'll probably be fully triggered by noon tomorrow."
Du Ruoxia yawned again. She glanced at the wall clock; it was 2 a.m.
Since she died suddenly from performing too many surgeries, Du Ruoxia now has a very regular daily routine.
She had died once, so she knew better than anyone else.
Other people's lives are important, but your own life is more important.
This time, I can travel through the book again, gaining an extra life in another form.
What about next time? Will we have such good luck again?
Getting enough sleep and taking good care of yourself is the best course of action.
"But my stomach really hurts."
"Your stomach pain is just due to the signs of impending labor and mild contractions, which are causing the pain."
Du Ruoxia yawned again. She was so sleepy that she could barely keep her eyes open. The mother's condition was stable, so she should hurry back to sleep.
"But, but..."
Du Ruoxia got up to leave, but the new mother reached out and grabbed her arm.
"Dr. Du, my stomach hurts, I'm so scared, please don't leave."
"You haven't fully recovered yet, so there's no point in me staying here."
The woman in labor is very strong; she doesn't use that strength to give birth, but instead uses it to grab her hand.
Du Ruoxia tried to break free, but the woman in labor was stronger than she expected.
Du Ruoxia was pulled in front of her and had no way to leave.
"I told you, you haven't fully recovered yet, so there's nothing I can do to help you if I stay. According to my prediction, you won't have a full-blown attack until noon tomorrow. Do you expect me to stay by your side for almost ten hours?"
Du Ruoxia's wrist was a little sore from being gripped, and her tone of voice wasn't as pleasant as before.
She is indeed a doctor, but she is not a contract doctor anywhere; she is a freelancer.
To put it bluntly, she can choose her own patients.
If the other party is unreasonable and annoys her, she can choose not to treat her.
She's already made herself so clear, how come this person just can't understand?
She's not feeling well herself, so why should others feel bad with her?
It's so late now, and it's so cold. I feel cold even lying in bed, and you want me to sit on the edge of the bed all night?
Her body is her body, but isn't someone else's body too?
"I don't care if I'm scared, you have to stay by my side!"
The woman wrapped half her body around him, and under her coercion, Du Ruoxia's body uncontrollably sat on the edge of the bed again.
"I'm sorry, I'm very sleepy right now and can't stay with you."
Even if you go to the hospital's obstetrics and gynecology department, the doctors and nurses will not stay by your side until you have fully gone into labor.
Unless you go to a private hospital with dedicated one-on-one service, in which case there might be medical staff accompanying you throughout the process.
However, that cost is definitely unaffordable for the average person.
Du Ruoxia got up to leave, but the woman still held her hand tightly.
Du Ruoxia frowned unhappily, her anger reaching its peak.
Is this person naturally unruly and willful, or does he/she have a comprehension disorder and simply cannot understand human speech?
When a woman gives birth, her husband and other relatives have an obligation to be by her side, but she does not have this obligation.
She is very tired and sleepy, and her head is a little dizzy.
She's someone who's already died suddenly, so why can't she cherish her life and get a good night's sleep?
The woman pressed her face against her hand, gripping her arm tightly and refusing to let go.
Du Ruoxia tried to reason with her several times, but to no avail, and finally she became completely enraged.
Du Ruoxia deliberately struck her pressure point, causing the woman's arm to go numb instantly. Du Ruoxia took the opportunity to break free.
She opened the door, and the young man who had just woken her up immediately came to greet her excitedly.
"Sister-in-law, how is my wife?"
"She's doing very well right now. The abdominal pain is caused by contractions, which is normal. Her cervix hasn't dilated yet, and her water hasn't broken. We expect to see some movement by noon tomorrow."
