Under the flashlight, a pink top with small floral patterns is particularly noticeable.
As mentioned before, clothes in the 1960s were mostly blue and military green, with red occasionally appearing, but that was a privilege only for new brides.
To wear a pink dress with small floral patterns, the wearer must not only have the courage to stand out from the crowd, but also have a wealthy family background. Both are indispensable.
So at this moment, Lin Sanqi immediately flashed through his mind the lonely figure he saw in the hospital yard during the day.
"Xiao Yezi, this isn't a ghost. This is Qian Hanrui, a patient from Ward 4. Hurry and save her."
Fortunately, Lin Sanqi and others discovered it in time. Although Qian Hanrui's head was already tied to the rope and hanging on the crooked tree, she was struggling, not knowing whether it was out of discomfort or the desire to survive.
If the person can struggle, it means he is not dead yet. If he stands straight and motionless, it means it is too late.
Lin Sanqi rushed forward in two steps, regardless of gender, and held Qian Hanrui's butt. At this moment, Pan Ye also ran over to help.
Qian Hanrui stood on a small slope, put a rope around her neck, and then kicked her feet to be suspended in the air, so her toes were quite far from the ground.
Lin Sanqi found that he couldn't hold up the rope even if he stuck out his buttocks because the angle was wrong. In a hurry, he put his head between Qian Hanrui's thighs, like a child riding on his father's shoulders, and only then did the rope loosen.
Pan Ye was a girl who dared to go to the black market alone in the middle of the night. She was very brave and she also climbed up the fruit tree cleverly. However, the rope was tied in a knot and could not be untied.
Pan Ye hardened his heart and stood on the branch.
The branch had to bear the weight of two people and broke all of a sudden. Qian Hanrui's body relaxed and was hugged by Lin Sanqi.
If it were any other time, holding a delicate young wife in his arms, Lin Sanqi would think it was a real benefit for the protagonist, very nice.
But now it's like holding a female ghost, and all I'm thinking about is saving people, and all the erotic feeling is gone.
"Xiaoye, are you okay?"
"Oh, I'm fine. Let's see how the patient is doing."
"Qian Hanrui? I'm Doctor Lin. Tell me what's wrong with you. How could you do such a stupid thing? It's just tuberculosis. We've already told you. We guarantee it can be cured. It can be cured. It's not a terminal illness. Why are you seeking death?"
The young wife in his arms had messy hair and tear-stained face. In the darkness, her features could not be seen clearly, but her voice was very sad:
"Why did you save me? Let me die. What's the point of living? It's not just tuberculosis, it's not just... wuwuwu~~~"
Lin Sanqi was also speechless, thinking that every person who wanted to commit suicide only had a few lines, with no novelty at all.
Pan Ye was a little anxious: "Sanqi, quickly carry the patient back. We need to check carefully to see if there is any problem."
"Okay, I'll carry you. You hold me up. Oh my god, I'm so scared that my legs are weak. Comrade Qian Hanrui, don't do such stupid things again!"
In the tuberculosis department office.
Lin Sanqi was looking through Qian Hanrui's hospitalization records, while Pan Ye made a cup of hot water for the poor female patient.
After reading the medical records, Lin Sanqi looked up at the young female patient opposite him. He had to say that she was a very beautiful girl with very fair skin. She was 80% similar to the later movie star Gong Xue.
But on the snow-white neck, there was a very obvious mark of a dark purple rope.
A beautiful girl like this will never lack suitors, whether now or decades later. Besides, her family is well-off, so why would she commit suicide?
Could the problem be infertility?
"Comrade Qian Hanrui, right? If you hadn't run into me and Dr. Pan just now, you would have been in heaven now. This kind of thing can only happen once, and there is no second chance. What kind of problem cannot be solved? Suicide is the most unacceptable solution. If you have any difficulties, please tell us, maybe we can find a way to solve it."
Qian Hanrui still lowered her head and shook it painfully:
"You can't solve it. I've been to all the hospitals, big and small, including the Union Hospital and the Chinese Medicine Hospital. My family even made an appointment for me at the Digital Hospital, but they all said there was nothing they could do."
Lin Sanqi asked directly, "You said before that it wasn't tuberculosis, so it's about infertility?"
Qian Hanrui was a little surprised. She raised her head and glanced at Lin Sanqi, then lowered her head again.
"Yes, because I can't have children, my mother-in-law scolds me, doesn't give me food when I get home, doesn't look at me kindly, and even says bad things about me to everyone in the compound.
I complained to my husband, and after he listened too much, he started beating me, calling me a chicken that couldn't lay eggs, and saying that because of me, he couldn't hold his head up high at work and in his family, and that they just wanted me dead!
Pan Ye was furious when he heard this: "With such a family, why don't you choose to divorce?"
"I also want a divorce, but my parents disagree. They say a divorced woman will make them lose face in society and be a disgrace to the family..."
Lin Sanqi understood and thought that this must be a marriage of arrangement, involving an alliance between two large families.
Don’t think that 1960 was a new society and everything had changed dramatically. In fact, many social bad habits cannot be changed overnight.
Some of these are just general social trends. For example, for a long time, beating one's wife was considered a family matter, a trivial matter, and the neighborhood committee was too lazy to intervene.
Some are marriages between two families based on practical interests, such as the Bo and Gu families, the He and Deng families, the Chen and Su families, the Ye and Wu families, etc.
This kind of marriage between two major families generally does not allow divorce easily, otherwise it will represent a breakup between the two families, with serious consequences. At most, the couple will be allowed to live their own lives.
So Pan Ye couldn't understand it, but Lin Sanqi, who had experienced the information explosion in later generations, could understand it especially well.
But there was one thing Lin Sanqi couldn't understand:
"Comrade Qian Hanrui, what era is this? Women can't be solely blamed for infertility. Perhaps there's something wrong with your husband? Why don't you go to the hospital for a checkup?"
…
silence……
Just when Lin Sanqi and Pan Ye were getting impatient, Qian Hanrui whispered:
"I checked, and my wife is fine, so the problem must be mine..."
Lin Sanqi was very happy. No wonder this girl didn't fight back or say anything when she was bullied by her husband's family. Finally, she got depressed. It turned out that the root of the problem was with her.
Pan Ye still feels a little unfair from a female perspective:
"Sanqi, do you have any way to make her pregnant?"
Lin Sanqi took a look at the young wife and thought, she is so beautiful. How about I sacrifice myself and try to be with her?
However, he could only keep the thought in his mind as a joke. If he really dared to sleep with a married woman, he would have no place to stand in the country in the future.
The relationship between men and women is always chaotic in every era. In the 1960s, there were still half-closed doors in the small alleys of the old city where people could not make a living. Who knows how many harems those leaders who appear to be well-dressed have in their units?
But if you don't get caught, it's fine. But if you get caught in the act, it's an extremely serious mistake, even a crime.
"Of course I have to help. Since Comrade Qian Hanrui is already our patient, we as doctors certainly have the responsibility and obligation to help her relieve her pain. But first I have to determine the cause of her infertility."
Pan Ye, a medical student, was quite curious: "Then what are the possible reasons?"
Qian Hanrui had recovered by then and looked up at Lin Sanqi, hoping to get some answers.
"As for the causes of infertility, there are so many. Age and environmental factors can be ruled out, so the most likely ones are physiological or pathological.
For example, the transfusion tube is too long, narrow, or inflamed, causing lumen occlusion, water accumulation or adhesion, which is quite common.
There are also some congenital factors such as vaginal atresia or vaginal septum that cause sexual intercourse disorders or difficulties, thus affecting the entry of gold into the woman's uterus, which is the legendary stone woman.
Other possible causes include cervical issues, disrupted ovulation, or congenital reproductive system hypoplasia, etc. The combination of these factors makes it very complicated, and we have to eliminate them one by one through examinations."
Qian Hanrui was a little excited when she heard this:
"Yes, yes, yes. I went to the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of Peking Union Medical College Hospital and the doctor told me the same thing. He even did an ultrasound, but unfortunately, the doctor couldn't see clearly and could only roughly guess that it was caused by a cyst or endometriosis."
Lin Sanqi thought for a moment, then looked Qian Hanrui up and down again:
"Specifically in your case, I think it might be related to the tuberculosis bacteria in your body. How about we check it out? What if there's still hope for treatment?"
Pan Ye asked curiously, "Can it be detected with X-rays?"
"No, let's use ultrasound this time!"
Pan Ye and Qian Hanrui were both a little puzzled. They had heard of A-ultrasound but had never heard of B-ultrasound.
(Lin Sanqi: Yeah, now I’ll show you.)
Lin Sanqi prepared a full set of examination equipment. Color ultrasound was definitely a commonly used examination instrument, but he was a little confused about how to perform the examination.
"Comrade Qian Hanrui, this ultrasound examination is similar to the A-ultrasound you did at Union Hospital, but my B-ultrasound has more advantages. It can see more clearly, more three-dimensionally, and more intuitively. However..."
Qian Hanrui is now very happy and wants to be cured. She would do anything to give her a baby, even if it means her death.
"Doctor Lin, I agree. I'll call and ask my parents to send it over if you need any medical expenses. It's absolutely no problem."
Judging from the tone of his voice, my parents must have also climbed snow-capped mountains and walked across grasslands in the past.
Lin Sanqi was a little embarrassed. "This is not a matter of money, but the way to check your vagina is quite special. One is to use a probe to move around on your abdomen, just like an A-ultrasound.
In addition, you also need to add an extra "vaginal ultrasound". This kind of examination requires taking out a probe with a diameter of 1 to 2 cm and a length of about 15 to 20 cm. It needs to be inserted into your vagina during the examination.
This allows the device to be directly attached to the posterior fornix of the vagina, making it less susceptible to the effects of intestinal gas. This allows for clearer and more accurate visualization of smaller lesions within the uterus or uterus, such as endometrial polyps, myomas, and uterine uterine tumors.
If there is a lot of gas in the intestine during the B-ultrasound examination, it may affect the examination results, especially during the examination of irregular nests, which may make it difficult to detect irregular nests and easily lead to errors in the examination results.
When Qian Hanrui and Pan Ye heard this, their faces quickly turned as red as Bao Gong.
The fact that such a long and thick probe was inserted into there, and the examining doctor was a man, was truly groundbreaking in the relatively feudal and conservative 1960s.
Even Pan Ye, a medical student, found it a little hard to accept.
"Sanqi, this, this examination is too embarrassing. Can it really detect possible lesions?"
Lin Sanqi didn't want his girlfriend to misunderstand him as a perverted sex maniac, so of course he had to explain it clearly:
"You are a medical student, so you may not have learned much from the textbooks in China. In fact, the mucosal tissue structure of the fetal vasculature is very conducive to latent tuberculosis infection, so the fetal vasculature is most susceptible to tuberculosis invasion.
Common symptoms include lower abdominal distension and pain, infertility, menstrual abnormalities, fever, weight loss, fatigue, etc. The main physical signs are pelvic masses, poor mobility, tenderness, and gynecological examination can reveal obvious thickening of the adnexa and obvious tenderness.
When Qian Hanrui heard this, she suddenly raised her head:
"Yes, yes, yes, I do have these symptoms. I went to the Union Hospital for a checkup before, and the doctor pressed on my lower abdomen, which was very painful. Doctor Lin, could it be that my tuberculosis has really infected me down there?"
Lin Sanqi patiently explained:
"It's hard to say who infected whom. It's possible you contracted organ tuberculosis first, and then developed pulmonary tuberculosis. It's all possible. But that's not important. What's important is that the treatment plan is the same."
Pan Ye had always trusted her boyfriend, and now after hearing this medical explanation, she was sure that her boyfriend had no bad intentions.
Qian Hanrui was a little hesitant at first, but now, like a fortune teller, after Lin Sanqi accurately described her symptoms, she was about 70% convinced.
"Then, then Dr. Lin, please help me examine it, but I hope you can keep it confidential for me."
Lin Sanqi is now rich and has plenty of free time, so of course he wants to try his hand at being a doctor. He also wants to know how good his medical skills are and whether his judgments are accurate.
"Don't worry, Dr. Pan will be standing by for the examination. Don't be nervous. Doctors are like parents to you. We don't have any dirty thoughts. My wish is the same as yours, which is to cure your illness."
"Um……"
Lin Sanqi went to the next room and took out a bedside color ultrasound machine, while Pan Ye began to prepare to temporarily cover the glass window with newspapers to prevent outsiders from seeing.
If a few people who didn't know the truth came in and thought that this man and two women were playing some exciting game at night, and reported them, they would probably be paraded through Chang'an Street.
If you tell people that this is an ultrasound, a medical examination, no one in the country will believe you.
Why?
Because there are only a very few hospitals in my country equipped with A-ultrasound machines, it will take several years for B-ultrasound machines to be introduced into the country. It was not until the 1980s that the first black and white B-ultrasound machine in my country was manufactured.
So nowadays Chinese people have never even heard of an ultrasound machine, let alone seen one with their own eyes.
After Lin Sanqi returned with the machine, he discovered that there was no patient in the room.
"Hey, where's Qian Hanrui?"
Pan Ye's face was still red: "She, she said she wanted to go wash her lower body..."
Lin Sanqi didn't take it seriously. Northerners don't take baths every day like southerners. Even if Diao Chan were alive, her body would easily have a smell, let alone her private parts. It would be healthier to wash.
Half an hour later, Qian Hanrui came back shivering from the cold. She was really shaking all over, but not because she was nervous.
In fact, she washed her body with cold water in the toilet. It was November in the northern mountainous area, and the temperature at night was already around 0℃. It was really miserable.
It was also very cold in the doctor's office. Lin Sanqi wrapped himself in cotton clothes and did not use the coal stove to keep warm. It was the end of 1960, and the national economy was entering its most difficult period.
A large amount of coal needs to be exported in exchange for food, which makes domestic coal supply a big problem.
Lin Sanqi nodded affectionately and said, "Come here and lie down."
Qian Hanrui lowered her head and did not move, obviously hesitating at the critical moment. Pan Ye stood aside, comforting her softly.
Lin Sanqi decided to stimulate her, otherwise she would keep dithering for who knows when and why would she not sleep at night?
"Comrade Qian Hanrui, you're not even afraid of death. I thought you were ready to fight to the death. Why, now that there's a way out for you, aren't you going to seize it?"
When Qian Hanrui heard this, tears started to flow, and she quickly took off her cotton pants and shirt. When she was about to take off her clothes, Lin Sanqi was so scared that she repeatedly stopped her:
"No, no, no, you don't have to take off your clothes. Just pull them up later."
At this point, Qian Hanrui closed her eyes and said softly, "Doctor Lin, come on, I'm ready!"
Lin Sanqi looked at the beautiful young woman's fair skin and thought that since her breasts were fuller than those of his own little Ye, there was no reason why she couldn't have children. He had to help her recover.
So after applying the coupling agent to the probe, Lin Sanqi began to press it against his belly and began to examine it, and then his brows furrowed.
Pan Ye looked at this machine he had never seen before and the pattern on the screen that looked like a heavenly book, and he was extremely curious.
"Sanqi, is this the ultrasound machine? The image looks like snowflakes. How can I see it clearly?"
Lin Sanqi still holds back in front of his girlfriend:
"This machine is the latest invention from Europe and the United States. It hasn't been promoted on the market yet. I got one by chance. Look, this is the uterus, this is the chaotic nest, and this is the chaotic tube."
Pan Ye looked at it for a long time but still couldn't understand it. Color ultrasound images are like a mystery to those who have not studied it systematically.
"Comrade Qian Hanrui, the preliminary B-ultrasound results are not very ideal. We still need to do a diascopy. Please bear with it. I will finish as soon as possible!"
"Um……"
Lin Sanqi quickly changed the probe to a long tubular probe and put a rubber ring on it.
Although the curious baby had never seen it, the medical student had heard of it: "Sanqi, is this the condom?"
Lin Sanqi chuckled: "Yes, this is the set to sever the offspring, you will need it in the future."
Pan Ye's face turned red again, but he was even more curious about how Lin Sanqi conducted the examination.
As long as I see Lin Sanqi pick up the long-tube probe and slowly insert it... (I won't write anymore, it will be dangerous to write more)
When he looked at the screen again, he could no longer make jokes because the situation on the screen was more serious than he had imagined.
After he pulled out the probe, Qian Hanrui still felt a sense of emptiness...
"Sanqi, what are the test results?"
"There are extensive adhesions in the pelvis, with bilateral vasculature invaded, causing hydrops, beading, stiffness, and even being buried in encapsulated fluid. If I'm not mistaken, Comrade Qian Hanrui cannot have children, and this is the problem.
The ultimate cause is tuberculosis.”
Pan Ye, who knew medicine, was shocked when he heard these technical terms and exclaimed, "Oh, it's so serious." (End of this chapter)
