After Jiang Mengxue finished eating, she walked to the hospital to work. Gu Qingbei had to visit a few comrades' homes today. The distance was not far, and the two were going in opposite directions, so Gu Qingbei was too lazy to let him make the trip.
There have been many births in the hospital in recent months, which is the peak period of the year. When I just arrived at the hospital to take over today, I received several pregnant women who had seizures last night and have not given birth yet.
The midwives are so busy that they can't stop. Jiang Mengxue sometimes helps out as an assistant, but she hasn't gotten the hang of the practical work yet.
In fact, they are not needed for childbirth. Midwives are enough. Doctors are only needed if there is an emergency during delivery.
"Doctor Xiao Jiang, there's a pregnant woman in the delivery room who's bleeding profusely and can't stop it. Even blood transfusions can't keep up with the bleeding. Could you please take a look? The other doctors are busy. The woman was supposed to give birth in a few months, but she accidentally fell at home and was rushed to the hospital with a pool of blood."
Jiang Mengxue hurried back to the office to get her acupuncture bag, washed her hands, changed into surgical clothes, and went into the delivery room.
It was several hours later when the operation was over. The patient was temporarily saved, but she was in shock due to excessive blood loss. She still had to be observed for a while after she woke up. Because she was born prematurely at less than seven months, the baby weighed less than two kilograms when she was born. It was a girl and she did not survive.
Living conditions were generally poor in that era, and pregnant women still had to work even if they were pregnant. In rural areas, some pregnant women gave birth in the fields during the busy farming season and had no time to go home. In families that did not love their wives, pregnant women had no time to recuperate after giving birth, and had to go to the fields the next day after giving birth.
Jiang Mengxue looked at the other person and didn't seem like someone who was being tortured by her in-laws and had a hard time, but she didn't ask about it.
"Doctor, how is my daughter? She...she."
There were already family members waiting outside the delivery room. One of the middle-aged women came forward and held Jiang Mengxue's hand tightly when she saw her come out. She was trembling so much that she couldn't speak, and her face was full of tears.
Judging from her appearance, Jiang Mengxue thought she should be the mother of the woman who had just given birth. Next to her stood a middle-aged man with a serious face and a hint of tension. Behind him followed a young man, who was tall and good-looking. He looked guilty at the moment and did not dare to step forward to interrupt.
"The patient is fine now, but he's not out of danger yet. He needs to be hospitalized for observation for a while. We'll see him after he wakes up. He'll be out soon. It's best not to have too many people come to visit him during this time. He needs a quiet environment to rest."
When the woman in front of him heard that her daughter was fine, her legs suddenly became weak and she could not stand. Jiang Mengxue and the middle-aged man immediately stepped forward to support her and helped her sit down on a chair on the side.
"It's okay, it's okay. Didn't the doctor say that Qianqian is fine and will be out soon? Your daughter still needs you during the confinement period, so you can't fall down."
When the baby was first brought to the hospital, the nurse knew at a glance that the child had fallen out. With so much blood lost, it would have been a miracle if the child was still alive, so the nurse did not give the family much hope.
The woman then remembered her daughter's current situation and quickly cheered up: "Yes, yes, yes, let's take our daughter back. She has only been at Old Wang's house for a few days and she has gotten into such a big trouble. Wang Hao, if you can't handle your family's problems, it's over between you and Qianqian. I will never agree to Qianqian going back with you this time. Go and live with that old woman for the rest of your life."
The young man looked guilty, but he still tried to defend himself: "Mom, my aunt and sister didn't mean to do that. They came here just to help me take care of Qianqian. This time it was really careless. I will ask them to come and apologize to Qianqian."
I don't know how the biological parents of the pregnant woman would feel after hearing this, but Jiang Mengxue was very angry anyway. The patient is still in the hospital bed and hasn't woken up. Instead of caring more about his wife, he is here to defend the person who obviously caused the pregnant woman to fall.
It was obvious that the middle-aged man was also very angry. "Is this what you want to say now? Then you can leave now. I didn't hear you care about your wife and children from beginning to end. You were just making excuses for your family. I saw what happened today more clearly than anyone else. If we hadn't suddenly decided to go over and take a look, they wouldn't even have the intention to help. I'm putting this out there today. If you can't handle this matter to our satisfaction, I will intervene. Think it over carefully. You can leave now. I don't think Qianqian will want to see you when she wakes up."
At this time, the woman in labor was pushed out of the operating room, and no one paid any attention to him. The middle-aged couple came forward to help push the bed, and no one paid any attention to Wang Hao who pretended to be affectionate.
Someone rang the bell in the ward just now. Gao Yiyi had just come out of the ward after checking on the patient's condition when she saw Jiang Mengxue coming out of the next ward. She quickly called out, "Doctor Jiang, you're finally out. Doctor He was just doing surgery and needed your help but couldn't find you. So I saw you and asked you to go to operating room number three."
