Chapter 3014 Reaction
Zhou Man and Bai Shan lay side by side on the bed. They touched Zhou Man's belly. Although they didn't feel anything at the moment, they were also excitedly imagining the prenatal education they would do when the baby was older.
Zhou Man thought she wouldn't be able to sleep, after all, there was such a big thing as pregnancy, but when her head rested on the pillow, she fell asleep after talking to Bai Shan for a few words.
Only Bai Shan was left, energetic and unable to sleep.
He raised his head and looked at her. Seeing that her breathing gradually became steady and long, he knew that she was asleep.
Bai Shan reached out and touched her forehead and hair. Feeling that she was sweating a little, he took a palm-leaf fan and fanned her gently.
Zhou Man slept even more deeply, turned over to face Bai Shan, and got closer to Feng Yuan.
Bai Shan tidied her hair and gently fanned her with a palm-leaf fan...
Bai Shan almost didn't sleep all night. He didn't know why he couldn't sleep. Anyway, he kept fanning Zhou Man. Maybe he felt cold in the middle of the night, so he woke up and covered her stomach. He woke up and fell asleep again, and woke up again. He repeated this process so that although he was energetic at night, he felt a little sleepy in the morning.
But he didn't lie in bed. After getting up, he went to do a set of boxing. After exercising, he sweated all over and felt better.
Zhou Man slept well last night and was in good spirits today, so he did a set of health-preserving boxing as usual and then went to have breakfast. After breakfast, he wanted to take Xibing to the hospital, but today there were two people following him.
Zhou Man couldn't help but stop and turned to Bai Shan and said, "It's fine if Daji comes along, but why are you sending me off too?"
Bai Shan: "Walking after dinner is good for digestion."
"You don't go to the yamen?"
"It's still early, and the hospital isn't far away. I'll still have time to come back after I drop you off." Bai Shan urged her, "Let's go and see if there are many patients today."
There weren't many patients coming to the hospital today, but there was one more person who needed to stay overnight. Wen Tiandong stopped Zhou Man as soon as he saw her and said, "A patient with a long-standing cough has come in. It seems to be tuberculosis. Sir, I've asked you to see this patient. You'd better not go."
Zhou Man's eyes lit up slightly. "Tuberculosis!" She had never treated a patient with this disease before. She asked, "Where did you arrange for him to be hospitalized?"
"In the farthest corner of the backyard. Someone just moved in."
Zhou Man raised his foot and walked over there. Wen Tiandong seemed to want to say something but stopped himself and looked at Bai Shan.
Bai Shan didn't stop her, but just reminded her: "Be careful, do you have masks in the medical department?"
"Don't worry, ever since the smallpox outbreak in Xiazhou, medical offices everywhere have always had supplies for epidemic prevention."
Bai Shan didn't go in, but nodded and said, "I'll bring you food at noon."
Zhou Man waved his hand and told him to go back to the county government office and take care of his own business.
She went to the pharmacy first, put on a mask and gloves, and then went to see the patient with Wen Tiandong.
Wen Tiandong also put on the item and introduced it to her, "He's a 38-year-old man named Sun, thin, with an intermittent cough for three years. Recently, he's been coughing up blood."
That's why he thought it was tuberculosis, but he had seen few cases of this disease and had never treated such a patient, so he was not sure.
Zhou Man: "Who sent it?"
"His wife and children."
Three people brought it on a cart. Because their home was far away, they walked for two full days before arriving.
They encountered a rain yesterday. Although they avoided it in time, the three of them were a little embarrassed. When they saw Lord Wen coming with a woman of extraordinary temperament, although the other party had her face covered, they still stood up from the ground and stood a little awkwardly.
Zhou Man nodded at them, pushed open the door and went in to see the patient.
This is also a ward, with four small beds in it. However, there is only one person lying on it at this moment. Obviously, his family also knows that the disease is contagious, so they deliberately avoided it.
However, since the doctor had arrived, the family of three followed him into the house.
Zhou Man didn't let them get close, but walked to the bedside to see the patient.
The patient had fallen asleep, but woke up when he heard the noise and immediately got up and tried to get out of bed.
Zhou Man didn't stop him, but just saw him stand up, looked at his figure, nodded slightly, and let him lie back.
Wen Tiandong brought a pulse pillow and placed it under the patient's hand. He then brought a chair for Zhou Man to sit on. He introduced the family of four, saying, "This is our medical director, Mr. Zhou."
The four of them immediately became excited when they heard this. They came here just for Zhou Man. Before coming, they had heard a lot about Zhou Man, saying that she was the imperial physician and a miracle doctor in the capital who could treat the emperor and the empress.
The four of them looked at her with piercing eyes. Even the patient, feeling hopeless, couldn't help but ask, "Sir, can my illness be cured?"
Zhou Man withdrew his hand and carefully asked about the course of his illness and his condition over the past few years. Then he shook his head and said, "It's not easy to cure, but we will do our best."
The four of them were a little disappointed when they heard this, but there was also some anticipation in their disappointment.
Zhou Man stood up and left. Wen Tiandong had already diagnosed him before, so he didn't take his pulse anymore and left with Zhou Man.
Avoiding the Sun family, Zhou Man said, "It's tuberculosis."
Wen Tiandong couldn't help but sigh and asked, "What soup recipe do you want?"
Zhou Man thought for a moment and said, "To tonify the body and nourish the vital energy, and to cure tuberculosis and kill parasites, don't we have Panax notoginseng? It can be used with Asparagus cochinchinensis, Radix Ophiopogonis, Radix Rehmanniae, and Fritillaria cirrhosa..."
She discussed the prescription with Wen Tiandong, and after agreeing on it, she wrote it out. "Will all their family members stay here to take care of the patient? It won't be too expensive?"
The Sun family's situation was better, but they were also a poor household. After discussion, they decided to leave their daughter to take care of the patient, while the young man and his mother would go home. The autumn harvest was almost here, and there was still a lot of work to do in the fields.
Zhou Man asked Xiao Kou to deliver a set of protective medical supplies to the girl. "It's always better to be more careful. Tell her to protect herself when entering and leaving the room."
Xiao Kou agreed, still a little worried, "Sir, do they eat in the kitchen too?"
Seeing her worry, Zhou Man smiled and said, "Just prepare a set of bowls and chopsticks for him to use individually, and a set of serving bowls and chopsticks for him to use. There's no need to be so nervous."
After arranging for this patient, Zhou Man went to the front yard to see other people who came for medical treatment.
Now that the medical department is famous, some sick people in the city will come here to seek medical treatment, especially those from poor families, who don’t mind waiting in line for a long time before seeing them.
Fortunately, most people's illnesses are minor and can be cured by just getting a prescription and taking the medicine. It doesn't take long.
Zhou Man finished reading before noon. She had nothing to do, so she took out a medical book to read.
Wen Tiandong knew that Zhou Man would read medical books in her spare time in the medical office, so he didn't disturb her. He found a place and took out yesterday's prescriptions and pulse diagnosis to study.
When Mingda and Bai Erlang arrived, it was a rare quiet time in the hospital. The yard was empty, with only the occasional cicada chirping in the trees. It seemed that there was no one there.
It was rare to see such a quiet hospital, so Mingda went to find Zhou Man out of curiosity. He saw her leaning on a lounge chair in the corridor with a book in her hand. Xibing stood beside her with a big fan, gently fanning her.
See you at 7pm
