"Zhou Zhiqing has become a medical worker? So capable?"
"That's great! From now on, we will have our own hygienist."
"Haha, from now on you can't call me Zhou Zhiqing anymore. You have to call me Health Officer Zhou."
"Medical Officer Zhou is so amazing. It feels like he knows everything."
"Speaking of which, now that Inspector Zhou has left the clinic, what will happen to the mushroom group? Growing mushrooms is so great! They're edible and can be sold for money. Plus, we can produce a batch every month, which is much more profitable than growing crops."
"Why are you considering so much? Do you think Secretary Wu and the team leader haven't considered this?"
…
The villagers were talking about Zhou Ziwen becoming a health worker.
Some are happy, some are worried.
The hustle and bustle makes Dabazi Village seem particularly lively.
But overall, everyone was very happy. After all, Dabazi Village now had its own clinic, and they wouldn't have to pay for medical treatment in the future. This alone was enough to make everyone happy for a long time.
Soon, Zhou Ziwen's side became lively.
Some villagers who couldn't wait rushed over to try out whether it was true that medical treatment was free.
"Uncle Wang, although I passed the medical worker exam, I haven't received my work permit yet. I also don't have my medical kit and medicines. I can help you check them first, but if you want to use the medicine, you have to wait until the clinic opens."
Zhou Ziwen explained helplessly.
He didn't expect that the villagers would be so anxious.
"Hey, what's going on with this Wu Dagang? Forget it, just help me take a look first!"
Upon hearing this, Uncle Wang muttered something in a bad mood, calling Wu Dagang unreliable.
But since he was already here, he decided to let Zhou Ziwen take a look at him.
"Uncle Wang, you have a backache, right?"
Of course Zhou Ziwen would not turn away patients when they came to him.
After asking Uncle Wang to sit down, he took his pulse and began to ask about the situation.
"Well, it's an old problem that has been hurting me for decades. I came here just because I heard that the treatment is free."
"Uncle Wang, your illness is not a serious one. Let me give you an acupuncture first. If it works, you can come back tomorrow." Zhou Ziwen said.
Acupuncture and cupping are both good ways to deal with Mr. Wang’s back pain.
However, he does not have the tools for cupping at the moment, so he can only choose acupuncture.
I just bought some silver needles two days ago, and now they are finally coming in handy.
Previously, it was used to stop Zhang Yang's bleeding, and now it is used to treat Uncle Wang's back pain. This silver needle is used quite frequently.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture is a very effective treatment method.
It can promote blood circulation, harmonize yin and yang, strengthen the body's immune system, and so on.
Of course, acupuncture is not a panacea. In addition to relieving pain, the treatment effect will be better if it can be combined with Chinese medicine.
However, Zhou Ziwen had almost used up all the herbs he had collected before. When he had time, he planned to go to the mountains to collect some more.
After all, he can earn work points by treating patients.
Compared to others who stay at home during the winter with nothing to do, he can still earn work points, which is a great thing that others want to do but can't.
For the rest of the afternoon, Zhou Ziwen did nothing but treat patients at home.
In the middle of the process, Wu Dagang also came over to persuade everyone.
After all, the clinic's medical equipment and medicinal materials have not arrived yet. If you come to Zhou Ziwen now, although he can still see the doctor, some diseases cannot be cured without the cooperation of equipment and herbs.
The villagers were a little disappointed to hear that they had to wait until the clinic opened before they could officially open, but most of them were obedient and planned to wait until the clinic opened before going.
Anyway, their illness has been going on for a few days, so it’s just a matter of waiting for a few days. They can afford to wait.
Of course, there were also people who had nothing to do. They thought, since they were already here, they might as well let Dr. Zhou take a look first. Even if he couldn't cure it, they could just come back next time.
Seeing a doctor doesn't cost any money, it's just a waste of time.
Many people hold this idea. Although they have heard that Zhou Zhiqing knows medical skills, they can only know whether he is really effective by seeing him in person.
Zhou Ziwen also understood their thoughts. With the idea of improving his skill proficiency, Zhou Ziwen accepted everyone who came.
By performing actual operations while AFK, your skill level will increase faster.
After most of the day, Zhou Ziwen's medical proficiency increased by one third compared to simply hanging up.
【Medical Skills Level 1 (318/1000)】
"Medical skills are indeed a vast and profound subject. After all this time, my proficiency has only increased a little. If I want to reach level two, I still have a long way to go!"
Looking at the proficiency on the auto-play panel, Zhou Ziwen couldn't help but sigh.
Of course, this is only the case for him. Other people who study medicine all bury their heads in books, and just memorizing the books is a big challenge.
Unlike Zhou Ziwen, who only needed to read it once, the auto-switch panel automatically recorded it for him. Over time, he gradually digested and understood the knowledge, and it eventually became his own.
This kind of advancement is probably what every medical student dreams of.
As time passed and it got darker, the people who came to see Zhou Ziwen for medical treatment left one after another.
For some of those who came to see the doctor, Zhou Ziwen gave them acupuncture. Although the needles couldn't cure the disease immediately, at least it could relieve the pain and relax the muscles and joints.
Some minor ailments can also be cured through acupuncture.
There are also more serious cases where acupuncture alone is useless and must be combined with drug treatment.
However, Zhou Ziwen had almost used up all his medicine and could only wait for the clinic to open before he could receive treatment.
…
In the afternoon, Li Laoleng came and confirmed with him about the banquet for tomorrow.
"Uncle Li, don't worry, I will be there tomorrow." Zhou Ziwen patted his chest and promised.
"Then you must remember, my relative's name is Zhang Laosan, you can just ask around when you go there and you'll know." Li Laoleng instructed.
"Okay." Zhou Ziwen nodded.
Since you agreed to help organize the banquet, you must do what you say.
Tomorrow he has to go to the county town to get his health worker certificate before he can come back.
But at his speed, it would only take about an hour to go there and back.
Even if there is a delay in getting the certificate, it won't take much time.
There will still be time to go to Niushan Village when he comes back.
This time, when they went to host a banquet, the Chen sisters couldn't join in the fun because they weren't invited.
However, the two sisters have already seen what it's like to get married, and Chen Qiaoyi has even experienced it herself.
Apart from the food being a little better than usual, there's really nothing much to see.
Chen Shiying wanted to experience it in person, but because of her relationship with Zhou Ziwen, she was destined not to be able to do so.
After dinner, Zhou Ziwen stayed on Chen Shiying's kang and didn't want to leave.
"Brother Ziwen, it's dark outside, let's go back!" Chen Qiaoyi took Zhou Ziwen's hand and prepared to pull him up.
"I think it's actually quite troublesome to go back to sleep. You see, we don't have a stove over there, so we have to heat the kang every time we go to sleep. What a waste of firewood!"
"The kang over here is so big, we might as well sleep here. We're not outsiders anyway."
Zhou Ziwen made a suggestion. (End of this chapter)
