Chapter 436: My Own Way
Less than ten minutes after Zhang Xin left, a new patient arrived.
Yi Chichi examined the patient, who was limping and carried in. "The preliminary diagnosis is an avulsion fracture. We need to go to the hospital for a more detailed examination."
The lame boy exclaimed in shock, "Isn't it just a sprained ankle?"
"no."
There's a slight difference between an avulsion fracture and an ankle sprain. Yi Chichi simply treated his injury and told him, "Go to the hospital right away."
The young man didn't want to go to the hospital, so he asked her, "Sister-in-law, can you help me get better?"
"No, don't count on me."
Pointing at his calf, she said, "I can't say exactly how serious your condition is. It's definitely dislocated, and even a cast is a blessing. The worst part is that I'm afraid I'll need surgery."
I'm not kidding, it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone.
If it was just a simple ankle sprain, she could help deal with it, but she really couldn't help with an avulsion fracture.
"Be obedient and go to the hospital quickly."
The three of them suddenly looked serious and nodded in agreement.
Yi Chichi warned, "From now on, don't use your left leg."
The two guys who were carrying him heard this and said decisively, "Gouzi, you stay here first. I'll drive over to pick you up."
Before he finished speaking, the tall guy ran out.
Yi Chichi and the middle-sized young man helped him lie down on the hospital bed.
"Just stay here until the bus comes."
"Okay."
The disabled people had no say, so the two stayed in the infirmary.
However, Gou Zi was a talkative kid. Even while lying on the hospital bed, he kept gossiping with Yi Chi Chi.
"Sister-in-law, where is Doctor Zhang?"
"A fellow villager had a difficult labor and was sent to the hospital, but it was too late for the doctor to see him."
"Where's Dr. Lin?"
"...I don't know about that. Doctor Lin wasn't here when I came. He was probably out seeing patients."
This luck is absolutely amazing.
Both of the regular doctors were not there, only my sister-in-law was there.
But, "Sister-in-law, why don't you become a doctor?"
"My medical skills are not good enough."
There were too many words, and Yi Chichi could no longer bear it and peeled a candy and stuffed it into his hand, "Brother, be quiet."
"Okay sister-in-law, thank you sister-in-law."
The White Rabbit milk candy made the young man smile from ear to ear. He put it in his mouth happily and felt that his legs were not so painful anymore.
"Give."
She took another one and handed it to the middle-sized young man. He thanked her and took it. He didn't eat it in a hurry. Instead, he asked, "Sister-in-law, do you want to fight with our Deputy Captain Wen?"
Yi Chizhi was stunned. Fight?
Why did she want to fight with Wen Shi?
"No, no, we hardly ever quarrel."
Glancing at the young man, she asked curiously, "What? Did my sister-in-law fight with her teammates?"
"have!"
"who?"
Then, the three of them gathered together and started playing crickets.
Even though these two kids rarely go into the family quarters, they are very well-informed.
It is clear who was quarreling, why they were quarreling, and whether there was any physical violence.
There is a lot of gossip to know, and the source of the information is guaranteed.
Yi Chichi sighed, "What kind of troops are you two in?"
"reconnaissance."
No wonder.
At this moment, there was a creaking sound outside the door. Gouzi looked out and said in surprise, "The car is here, Dongzi, come and help me."
As he was speaking, the car door opened and the guy who had gone to drive the car came back.
He and Dongzi carried the dog into the car.
Then he returned to the car and said, "Sister-in-law, let's go first."
"Be careful on the road."
"OK."
Soon, the car started, turned around, drove straight to the gate and disappeared from Yi Chichi's sight.
No patients came in the following period, and Yi Chizhi waited for Zhang Xin to come back.
Her whole body reeked of blood, but her brows were relaxed, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, and she looked like she was in a good mood.
Yi Chichi knew what was going on. "Are they all rescued?"
"Mother and daughter are safe!"
Zhang Xin smiled broadly, "I didn't expect it to be so smooth."
Nine out of ten people will die after a difficult birth, but the survival rate will be higher in the hospital.
However, when she rushed over, the woman in labor was already in labor and was about to lose consciousness. Given her condition at the time, she could not make it to the hospital.
"It's just that the child might suffer in the future!"
The smile on her face faded and became more sad.
Yi Chichi poured her a glass of water and asked, "What's the matter?"
"When the child's father and grandmother found out the gender of the baby, their faces fell."
I understand, it’s about favoring boys over girls.
There's nothing we can do about this.
Because of the general environment.
My sister-in-law has the same situation in the family quarters, and even talking to the Women's Federation is useless.
Whatever happens, I will do what I want.
"You did what you had to do, and that's enough."
Zhang Xin sighed and said helplessly, "I really can't handle this. I should be thankful that there are no cases of abandoning or drowning baby girls here."
This means that the child can survive, but how he survives is unknown.
This wasn't a pleasant topic, so after sighing, she turned and asked, "Has anyone come since I left?"
“Here I come!”
Yi Chichi reported the situation and was relieved to learn that the dog had an avulsion fracture and had already gone to the hospital.
"Is it serious?"
"I don't know. I can't see inside and tell how he's moved."
Zhang Xin said, "I'll be back at the hospital tomorrow to start my shift. I'll go see you then."
"Who will be in the infirmary tomorrow if you leave?"
"Two new doctors have arrived. They will be on duty starting tomorrow."
After checking the time, she said, "I can leave work when Dr. Lin comes back."
It would have been fine if Dr. Lin hadn't been mentioned, but once he was mentioned, Yi Chi couldn't help but ask.
"I went to the free clinic."
"To the nearby village?"
"Um."
"Do you all offer free clinics regularly?"
"Yes, the villagers are reluctant to see a doctor. They just have to endure any problem. Minor ailments are delayed until they become major ones. There are even cases of people getting poisoned by randomly digging herbs."
It’s all because of poverty. It’s so difficult for our fellow villagers to see a doctor.
"I have nothing to do anyway, so I might as well go to the free clinic regularly and gain experience."
That's true, isn't it? "Aren't there barefoot doctors?"
Medical resources are not abundant in this era, but one production team or several production teams are equipped with a team medical room, a barefoot doctor and a health worker as standard.
"The barefoot doctors are too busy, and our free clinics can help ease their burden."
Looking around and seeing no one around, she whispered, "Medicine is in short supply. The team doctor's office can't get any Western medicine except gentamicin and gentian violet."
The implication is: bitter medicine should still be the main ingredient.
Then, the two had an in-depth discussion on the existing medical resources.
Finally, the conclusion was reached that their country still has a long way to go if it wants to alleviate the shortage of medical resources.
While chatting, Wen Shi’s time to get off work came.
Dr. Lin hasn't come back yet, Zhang Xin can't leave, He Yunsong hasn't returned from going out to sea, and the old man is in the hospital, so she's not in a hurry to go home.
So, Yi Chichi left first.
When we met Wen Shi and his group halfway, we saw a group of men who were so dirty that they looked like they had rolled in the mud. It was so dirty that it was unbearable to look at.
After returning home, Yi Chichi took off his dirty clothes and asked, "What have you been doing?"
Wen Shi took a towel and wiped the mud off his face. He said helplessly, "The courtyard wall was knocked down. We are digging the foundation and making bricks to build the courtyard wall."
