As December approaches, the weather has turned cold.
The 212 Jeep showed its weaknesses in winter. The interior of the car was leaking air from all sides, and there was no heating or air conditioning. When driving, you had to wrap yourself tightly in a coat and wear gloves to be fully armed.
It is said that the fighting nation would light a mini boiler directly in the car because it was too cold. But Chen Xia didn't dare to do that. If he got carbon monoxide poisoning, he would be doomed.
By then, the wife who has not yet married into the family will belong to someone else, and all those jade antiques will disappear from this world. That would be a real loss to my grandmother's family.
Chen Xia drove with both hands tightly gripping the steering wheel.
Today's cars don't have power steering, so you can't drive with one hand. His hand strength is quite strong. After teaching Gu Lin several times, this guy was too tired to learn again.
But his future father-in-law was very helpful and helped him get a military driver's license. This is awesome. He doesn't have to worry about traffic police giving him tickets anymore. They will at least give him some face.
But he didn't know that there was not even a single traffic policeman in the entire Ke Town, and there were no traffic lights or camera. Who would come to catch people violating the law for no reason?
In late autumn and early winter, farmers have already started to stay in their homes for the winter, and the Fourth Hospital is about to carry out another "volunteer medical service in the countryside".
This activity was initiated by Chen Xia and it was the first of its kind in the province.
In the past, a few infectious disease doctors were sent to the countryside to guide the prevention and control of schistosomiasis and leprosy. Never before had every department sent doctors and nurses to form a large free medical team to serve farmers.
Last year, the Fourth Hospital’s rural service was reported in the Zhijiang Provincial Daily. Yuezhou Fourth Hospital became very famous and won many honors for it.
Therefore, the Fourth Hospital established a fixed pattern of "providing medical services in rural areas" once every six months.
This year, the Fourth Hospital received many letters from people in the mountains, asking if the Fourth Hospital could go to the mountains to provide service as part of its rural activities?
For ordinary people to see a doctor, farmers in the plains are not so bad because they live close to the hospital. If they really have difficulties, they can just borrow some money and get timely treatment.
People in the mountains are miserable because they have no money.
Although there are all kinds of wild fruits and game in the mountains, they cannot be exchanged for much money if they cannot be transported out.
When you are healthy, having enough food is no problem. But once you get sick or have a small disaster, you simply don't have much cash. Do you have to carry a wild boar to the hospital and ask for it to offset the medical expenses?
There is another problem for people living in the mountains to see a doctor. The mountain roads are winding and inaccessible to cars, making transportation quite inconvenient.
If you really need to see a doctor when you are sick, the commune hospital in the mountains is completely useless. You have to travel dozens of miles along the mountain roads to get to the city, which is a big project.
People in the mountainous area of Yuezhou are accustomed to using a "sleeping sedan chair". People sitting in it either sit cross-legged or with their legs stretched out, and two people carry them from behind to travel.
If a patient is to be transported out of the mountains, the help of strong laborers from the entire village is needed. Otherwise, after walking dozens of miles of mountain roads, the people carrying the sedan chair will be too tired to send the patient to the emergency room.
Therefore, when people in the mountains get sick, they can only rely on their own righteousness to fight off minor illnesses, and if they get seriously ill, they can only consider themselves unlucky and quickly find a Feng Shui treasure land to prepare for their funeral.
The Fourth Hospital will follow the old rules this time. President Gu will lead the team personally and select experienced doctors and nurses from various departments to go to Qingtan Commune in the Yuezhou Mountains for a five-day free medical consultation activity.
Qingtan Commune is more than 40 kilometers away from Ke Town. It is a "more developed" central commune in the southern mountainous area. Usually, mountain people will go to the market in Qingtan to exchange some daily necessities.
Therefore, the commune built a health center and a guesthouse, which just solved the accommodation problem.
In the conference room of the Fourth Hospital, Director Gu was holding a mobilization meeting for the doctors and nurses who were going to the countryside. Everyone was in a good mood, as if it were an autumn outing to the mountains.
Dean Gu politely asked, "Does anyone have anything to add? Please feel free to raise it. The hospital will definitely give it priority."
Xie Liping from the First Surgery Department raised his hand. "Dean Gu, why didn't Section Chief Chen from the General Affairs Department come with us this time?"
Gu Wei was a little confused, so he explained, "It's like this. This time when you go to Qingtan, the Qingtan Commune and the Health Center will be responsible for all the logistics, such as accommodation. Therefore, our hospital's General Affairs Department will no longer be involved."
Xie Liping said embarrassedly, "Dean, if Section Chief Chen doesn't go with us, we'll always feel uneasy, hehe."
There was a burst of laughter at the scene, and everyone gave Xie Liping a thumbs up.
Dean Gu also smiled and asked, "Why do you feel uneasy if Section Chief Chen doesn't go? He's not a technical authority, so his presence won't be of any use."
Xu Qiuping, a nurse from the gastroenterology department, shouted, "Because Section Chief Chen can bring everyone delicious food."
Everyone burst into laughter when they heard this. Who is Chen Xia? He is the God of Food in the eyes of the staff of the Fourth Hospital. They will never go hungry as long as he is around.
Gu Wei was also amused when he heard this. He discussed it with his colleague next to him and nodded.
"Okay, since you've requested it, we'll send him over. But you must also ensure that you successfully complete the tasks assigned by the organization, serve the people wholeheartedly, and not make any mistakes."
"Yes!" Everyone was very excited.
The next day, on the winding mountain road to Qingtan Commune.
Dean Gu had something urgent to do and could not lead the team, so Chen Xia unexpectedly became the leader of this free medical consultation team going to the countryside.
He had been driving carefully, holding his breath from time to time, or rolling down the window to get some fresh air. Three of the four passengers in the car had fainted and were vomiting in bags, and the air was filled with a sour smell.
Gu Lin heard yesterday that Chen Xia was arranged to go to the countryside, so she insisted on going with him.
Originally, the hospital arranged two large trucks to take everyone to the countryside. Chen Xia drove his own car, and Gu Lin also invited several young nurses with whom he had a good relationship to ride in a "comfortable" jeep together.
The winding mountain road kept turning and turning, making everyone dizzy. Even more people on the truck were carsick, so Chen Xia had to stop several times to let everyone rest.
This time he was assigned to be the leader of the free medical team, leading the team and having to take good care of everyone.
"You young people are so useless! Xie Liping, you, a grown man, vomited too? Come on, here are some Fenidol tablets, two each. Let's park for half an hour and wait for the medicine to take effect before we set off again."
Faced with Chen Xia's complaints, everyone was powerless to fight back, and they all hung their heads like sick chickens.
Ye Zhenzhen in the EKG room looked at Chen Xia pitifully: "Chief Chen, do you have any orange peels? I usually get motion sickness and orange peels can help."
Chen Xia thought this was a good idea, so he immediately ran to his car and took out a big bag full of oranges from the trunk. "Come on, one for each of you. Anyone who gets carsick can take it themselves."
Gu Lin is no longer surprised by her boyfriend's willingness to meet all her requests and his ability to do whatever he wants.
But she never thought much about it, thinking that he was well prepared, anyway, she would not be short of food, and everything else was up to her. This is the advantage of a "brainless" girlfriend. If you try this with a smarter woman, she will immediately report you as a monster.
