After get off work, Chen Xia said goodbye to everyone and went home.
Most of the medical staff of the Fourth Hospital are not from Yuezhou, so these employees all live in the hospital staff community.
Generally, the layout is two bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom, with one family occupying one apartment.
In this era, the dormitory of the Fourth Hospital is definitely a high-end community. Not to mention in a rural place like Ke Town, it is unique in the Yuezhou area. Therefore, what Yuezhou people envy most is the jobs in the Fourth Hospital.
After it was transferred to the local government, some locals were recruited through recruitment, mostly residents of Ke Town. As for the farmers near Ke Town who wanted to become employees of the Fourth Hospital overnight, Chen Xia was the only one who did so.
Chen Xia and his colleagues said goodbye and prepared to ride their bicycles home. Gu Lin hung at the end of the group, mouthing "braised pork, braised pork."
Chen Xia pretended not to understand and kept mouthing, "What? What?"
Gu Lin was so angry that she stood there with her hands on her hips, sulking.
It takes an hour to ride a bike from the Fourth Hospital to Qingfeng Village. The summer day at the end of August is still quite hot. When Chen Xia returned home, he was already sweating profusely. Chen Qiu had already prepared dinner.
As usual, Chen Xia closed the yard door, and then took out ice bricks and soda like a magic trick, which surprised Chen Qiu and Chen Dong so much that they shouted "Long live!"
During dinner, Chen Xia gave each of them a meat bun and said, "You must keep it a secret what we are eating. If we tell others, we three will never be able to eat it again."
In rural areas, the real problem is not the lack of wealth but the inequality of it. Everyone is equally poor, and suddenly you become a worker and are forced to spend all day eating and drinking ice watermelon. That is unbearable.
The era of overthrowing everything has just passed, and many people's thinking has not changed.
So eating meat quietly is the best way now. Chen Qiu and Chen Dong certainly understand that children who are afraid of poverty are the best at protecting their food. They won't understand what you say otherwise. If you tell them that they will never be able to eat meat buns and popsicles again, they will guard their mouths more tightly than anyone else.
After dinner, Chen Xia sat alone in the yard to enjoy the cool air, occasionally shooing away annoying mosquitoes.
He suddenly had an idea. Now that he had money, hiding it wasn't a good idea in the 1980s when prices were fluctuating by the day. So, could he buy a house in Ke Town? He could bring his younger brothers and sisters to the town to study.
Anyway, they are not planning to farm now. Riding bicycles for two hours every day is too much for even a young man like Chen Xia. If they encounter a windy and rainy day, it will be really painful.
As for the staff quarters of the Fourth Hospital, it is probably very difficult. New employees like Chen Xia have no hope.
Chen Bingkun was originally eligible for a house, but because his wife and children lived in the countryside, he chose to take the compensation and return to the countryside to build a new house.
The idea of buying a house came to Chen Xia, like a wild desire that could no longer be stopped. He decided to go and see if there were any houses for sale at noon tomorrow.
The next day at work, Ren Yuanfei took Chen Xia and others to the liver disease ward for rounds.
China is a country with a high incidence of liver diseases. At least one in ten people suffers from hepatitis B. Adding other hepatitis infections, in this era of lack of medical care and medicine, the ratio should be 8:1, which is quite high.
Hepatitis, especially hepatitis B, was common in the 1970s and 1980s, when medical conditions were so low that no one would go to the hospital unless they were ill. Without regular physical examinations, no one knew whether they had liver disease.
However, by the time an attack occurs and you go to the hospital, the virus is often already at high levels, and your liver function and bilirubin levels are elevated. Eventually, it develops into cirrhosis and liver cancer, and the cost of treatment is beyond the reach of most families.
Liver disease is actually a disease of the rich. It requires not to overwork, not to drink alcohol, not to stay up late, etc. It is precisely this condition that is the most difficult to achieve nowadays.
Farmers, for example, work tirelessly in agricultural production day and night, with no time for rest. They often carry loads weighing over 100 kilograms, a major risk for liver disease.
As for alcoholic liver disease, it's quite rare these days. Who has the money to drink when they can't even get enough to eat? Even fatty liver disease is rare these days.
Chen Xia followed Ren Yuanfei into the liver disease ward. At first glance, every patient looked like a Minion. Their eyelids and skin were all yellow, a strange sight. The patients here were mostly suffering from icteric hepatitis.
While Ren Yuanfei was asking about the patient's condition and looking at various test indicators, Chen Xia still followed obediently with her hospitalization records, doing her best in this promising job as an intern.
"Xiao Xia, do you know much about this icteric hepatitis?"
"Master, my father used to talk to me about this disease often."
"Then tell me what icteric hepatitis is."
Chen Xia thought for a moment and said, "This is a general term for a large category of hepatitis. It's a clinical symptomatic diagnosis, primarily caused by elevated bilirubin levels during an attack of hepatitis. There are many causes, including common viral hepatitis, such as hepatitis A and hepatitis B, as well as drug-induced hepatitis and alcoholic hepatitis."
Ren Yuanfei decided to ask a deeper question, "Then can you tell me the reason for this?"
"This is caused by the hepatitis virus destroying liver cells, liver tissue destruction and reconstruction, and bile duct obstruction, leading to an increase in both conjugated and unconjugated bilirubin in the blood, causing yellowing of the skin, mucous membranes, and sclera of the eye."
Ren Yuanfei was very happy. Through the questions he asked during the two ward rounds, he had already seen that Chen Xia had very solid theoretical knowledge and his level was above that of several ordinary residents. Even the look he gave to several young residents became quite dissatisfied.
