Chapter 562 0 and 100%
The longer Li San Niang worked as a doctor, the more she understood the fragility and strength of human life.
Even with the advancements in modern medical technology, the maternal mortality rate is not zero, but rather has decreased to around 16 per 100,000.
This is just data from medical statistics.
But in reality, these are real human lives at stake!
This inevitably reminded Li San Niang of a pregnant woman's family member she encountered when she was practicing medicine in modern times.
That day, Li Mingfang, who worked in the outpatient clinic, looked at the pregnant woman's medical report and gave her and her husband some instructions.
Seeing that the pregnant woman's husband looked indifferent and was still playing on his phone, Li Sanniang got a little angry and said directly, "Giving birth is such an important thing. This is your wife and your child. Can't you be a little more attentive?"
The man looked indifferent, and there was also a sense of disgust towards Li Mingfang for meddling in his business.
"Hey, what woman doesn't have children?"
Doesn't everyone go through these things when giving birth?
"Doctor, what use am I? It's not like I gave birth to her."
Hearing the man's explanation, Li San Niang became even angrier and said in a harsher tone, "Don't you know that even now, giving birth can still kill people?"
"What's wrong with taking care of your own wife and children?"
"Hey, how many women die in childbirth?"
Is it one in ten thousand?
Who could be so unlucky as to die during childbirth?
If you have a child, that's just fate; what can anyone do about it?
Looking at the indifferent expression on this man's face, as if it didn't matter who died, it wouldn't matter to me, Li San Niang really wanted to slap him twice across the face.
Li San Niang also wanted to tell him: "This mortality rate is just data, but when it comes down to an individual, what data is there?"
When it comes down to an individual, that's the difference between 0 and 100%.
If it didn't happen to you, you're not part of that probability data.
If it were you, you'd be one of those data points!
But Li San Niang also understood that there was no way to reason with this kind of person; there was never any true empathy in this world!
Therefore, Li San Niang had no choice but to turn around and carefully instruct the pregnant woman on each and every precaution, and earnestly told her: "You are already in the late stages of pregnancy, so these prenatal checkups are extremely important!"
Be sure to come on time!
If you feel unwell, please come to the hospital for a check-up as soon as possible!
Take good care of yourself. Your child's fate is intertwined with yours; only when you are well can your child be well!
After washing her hands, Li San Niang, who had just returned home from her shift, first picked up Lu Zhu'er and then took her to Li Da Xiong and Li Da Sao's courtyard to find Li Da Sao.
While in the courtyard, Li San Niang heard Li Er Sao say, "Aunt Jiang, who stayed for five days, went home today. She said she would come to our house again next month, and it's not good to keep bothering us."
Therefore, when Li San Niang entered Li Da Sao's room today, she only saw Wu Qiao Lan, who was accompanying Li Da Sao, and did not see Jiang's mother.
Sister-in-law Li has already adapted to her recent life. During the day, Wu Qiaolan helps her, and Li's mother and sister-in-law Li often come over. Li San Niang always comes over to stay for a quarter of an hour after finishing her shift.
"Why are you so late today?"
Li San Niang brought out the fruit she had hidden behind her back. "On my way home from work, I met some villagers selling wild fruits at the entrance of the village. I tried one and it tasted sweet and sour. I thought my sister-in-law would like it, so I bought some to bring home."
Li San Niang placed the plate of fruit on the low table on the bed where Li Da Sao was lying, and pushed it in front of Li Da Sao.
Li San Niang took two more fruits, one for Wu Qiaolan and the other for Lu Zhu'er who came with her.
Seeing that Sister-in-law Li didn't reach out, Li San Niang said, "I bought quite a lot. I specially picked out a big, red plate and washed it for you to try. There's another basket in the kitchen, so everyone can have some."
So, Sister-in-law Li reached out and took a bite. It was indeed sweet and sour, but the sourness was even more pronounced.
Li San Niang smiled when she saw that Li Da Sao liked the food.
When Li San Niang led Lu Zhu'er back to the main hall to prepare for dinner, Li Er Xiong also closed the door of the clinic. He walked into the main hall from outside and saw Li San Niang. He quickly called out to her, "San Niang, seeing you reminded me that someone sent you an invitation today. I put it on the table in the side hall."
After saying that, Brother Li Er took out a letter from the side hall. Li San Niang took it, opened it, and saw that it was a letter from the Song family.
The post mentioned two things: first, the Song family invited Li San Niang to their flower-viewing banquet during the Mid-Autumn Festival;
Secondly, it is said that after Li San Niang, the Song family invited Dr. Sun, a renowned gynecologist from the former Imperial Medical Academy, to their home to examine Song Zhenzhu, but he could not find anything wrong. Dr. Sun was interested in Li San Niang's medical skills and wanted to get to know her through the Song family.
After reading the invitation, Li San Niang raised an eyebrow, then shoved it into Li Er Xiong's hands before taking the bowls and chopsticks that Bao Ya had brought and helping to distribute them.
After reading the post, Li Erxiong remained noncommittal about the Song family's invitation to Li Sanniang to a banquet during the Mid-Autumn Festival. However, he was quite interested in the Song family's mention of Dr. Sun, a renowned gynecologist from the former Imperial Medical Academy.
Just as Li Erxiong was about to look up and say something to Li Sanniang, he saw that Li Sanniang had already turned around to help carry dishes from the kitchen, so he put aside his thoughts and decided to talk to her after dinner.
After dinner, the four doors of the main hall were left wide open to let some cool breeze from outside blow into the room, so that people could feel a bit of coolness on the unbearably hot night.
"What are you thinking, Third Sister?"
"We'll deal with whatever comes our way. Second brother, do you know who this renowned gynecologist, Physician Sun, is?"
Before Li Erxiong could answer, Li's father asked first. After hearing Li Sanniang talk about Song Zhenzhu, he nodded and said with relief, "If it's Doctor Sun, then it's good."
Dr. Sun is not the kind of person who is jealous of others being better than him. I was even given some guidance by him when I was practicing medicine in my early years. At that time, it was Dr. Gao who introduced me to Dr. Sun.
He's a broad-minded doctor; his desire to meet with you suggests he's there to discuss medical matters, not to cause trouble.
"If Father says so, then I can rest assured. I was just afraid that he was just looking down on Third Sister and was here to cause her trouble."
Li San Niang wasn't afraid of this at all. "Second brother, what's there to be afraid of?"
Don't say I'm not wrong. Even if I am wrong, I'll admit my mistake.
I was only talking about the pre-illness stage; I didn't prescribe any medicine. Even if there were any mistakes, they weren't catastrophic.
Besides, this person isn't a god; naturally, they'll make mistakes. If they do, they should just admit it.
However, doctors deal with matters of life and death, so they must be careful and not act carelessly.
