Chapter 617: Lack of Medicine
"They should be infected. Not only them, but you may be infected too."
Zhou Ziwen said.
Widespread fever and cough like this can easily lead to infection.
If not handled in time, it can easily spread from person to person.
Eventually, the condition worsened and became pneumonia.
Pneumonia is not easy to cure these days.
Fortunately, Zhou Ziwen’s medical skills are pretty good, and now it’s just a cold and fever, not that serious.
"Then what should we do?"
When they heard that they might also have a fever, Zhang Wenli and Zhou Qiang could not stay any longer.
"It's okay. I'll check their conditions first. If they're the same, then we can take the medicine together. You can also take this medicine. If you have any illness, you can treat it. If you don't have any illness, you can prevent it."
Zhou Ziwen said calmly.
"Yes, Ziwen, we'll listen to you. Go and check on them! I'll take care of the medicine."
When they heard that Zhou Ziwen had a solution, Zhou Qiang and Zhang Wenli all breathed a sigh of relief.
The attitude towards Zhou Ziwen is also more enthusiastic.
"OK."
Zhou Ziwen nodded and went to the dormitory of the Youth League Institute.
Behind him, Zhou Qiang, Zhang Wenli and others hesitated for a while and were somewhat afraid to go in.
After all, Zhou Ziwen just said that they might be infected.
"Ziwen, help! I feel so bad. I have a headache, a cough, a runny nose, and I have no strength left in my body."
"Me too, my voice is hoarse."
As soon as they entered the dormitory of the educated youth hospital, the educated youth lying on the kang began to describe their symptoms.
"It's okay, I'll take a look first."
Zhou Ziwen walked over calmly and checked them one by one.
After a round, Zhou Ziwen had a general understanding of their situation.
Their situation is even more serious than that of Li Lei's son and daughter-in-law.
Especially with so many people staying together, the air in the room is not circulating well.
"Ziwen, how are we? We're not getting any serious illness, are we? I feel like I'm going to die."
The educated youth lying on the kang asked in a hoarse voice.
Because of the fever, their bodies are severely dehydrated, and their lips are chapped.
"No, you just caught a cold, but your cold is a bit severe."
Zhou Ziwen shook his head.
"What should we do then?"
Song Chengbing from the Youth League Institute asked.
"It's not a big deal. Your situation is the same. I'll prescribe some medicine. After you take it, have a good sleep. You'll feel much better when you wake up."
Zhou Ziwen said confidently.
As a doctor, you must not be anxious when facing patients.
The second is to give patients confidence and encourage them to cooperate with treatment.
Once you have confidence, you will recover faster.
"Great, Ziwen, please prescribe some medicine for us! I can't stand it any more."
Song Chengbing shouted weakly.
"Okay, I'll get it done right away."
Zhou Ziwen nodded.
However, after coming out of their dormitory, Zhou Ziwen did not leave immediately.
There are so many people in the Youth League Home and there are quite a few dormitories. He hasn't visited other dormitories yet!
Then, Zhou Ziwen went to check other dormitories again.
It turned out that their situations were similar, so they could be dealt with in a unified manner.
"Ziwen, how is it?"
After Zhou Ziwen finished the inspection, Zhou Qiang and others outside hurried over.
"It's nothing, someone come with me to get the medicine!"
Zhou Ziwen smiled and then spoke.
"I, I'll go with you."
Zhou Qiang hurriedly stood up.
As the captain of the male educated youth team, he had the responsibility to do this.
"I'm going too."
Zhang Wenli also stood up immediately afterwards.
Her reaction was a little slower than Zhou Qiang's, and she was still a little lacking in quick wit.
"Let's go!"
Zhou Ziwen didn't want to delay here either.
He also wants to go back and have a good rest!
But his plan was doomed to fail.
As soon as he arrived at the health room, he saw it was full of people.
"Ziwen, you're so good to come. I was just about to go look for you!"
Seeing Zhou Ziwen, Zhu Jianguo ran out in a hurry.
"Are they also cold?"
Zhou Ziwen asked in surprise.
"Yeah! The weather turned cold yesterday and many people caught a cold. I guess there will be more people coming later."
Zhu Jianguo said with a wry smile.
"Okay! I understand the situation. It's not a big problem."
Zhou Ziwen consoled her, then said, "I'll write a prescription first. You go get the medicine. Let the people from the Youth Hostel take it away first. Then you can set up a big pot in the clinic, and we'll boil the medicine here."
"As long as they have a cold, let them come over to drink, or bring a bowl over and pour it back."
The health room is almost full. If I check them one by one, I won’t be able to finish even if I stay until the evening.
Judging from the current situation, there must be many more people coming to see the doctor.
So he decided to treat everyone with a cold or fever with the same prescription.
Although the effect is slightly worse than one person per prescription, it is not much different.
"Okay, I'll go get the medicine."
Zhu Jianguo nodded hurriedly.
So many people came to see the doctor today. If Zhou Ziwen hadn't been there, he would have been a little panicked.
Then, Zhou Ziwen came to the table and quickly wrote down two prescriptions.
One is for the Youth League Home, and the other is for the villagers.
These two prescriptions are actually similar.
It’s just that the dosage of the prescription for the Youth League Home is smaller.
After all, there aren't many people there.
It’s different in the health center.
Although the villagers have better physical fitness due to long-term labor, there are still too many villagers!
Not to mention that there are several other production teams nearby.
Zhou Ziwen estimated that he would not be able to rest today.
Zhu Jianguo worked quickly, and the villagers who came to see the doctor also helped. After a while, he set up a large iron pot filled with medicinal herbs.
"Ziwen, we're out of isatis root and licorice."
Zhu Jianguo spoke with some embarrassment.
The medicinal herbs used in the clinic have always been dug by Zhou Ziwen in the mountains.
It was supposed to be enough for a long time, but today, it was almost all used up.
"It's okay. I'll go up the mountain and dig it. You just keep an eye on it here. When the medicine is ready, you can give it to them."
Zhou Ziwen waved his hand.
There are plenty of herbs on the mountain. When you go up the mountain, just dig some more and bring them back.
"Ziwen, thank you for your help."
Zhu Jianguo felt a little ashamed.
He felt that as a medical worker, he was useless and the whole support depended on Zhou Ziwen alone.
If it weren't for Zhou Ziwen, he would have quit his job as a medical worker long ago.
"It's okay, just watch over here! I'm leaving first."
Zhou Ziwen waved his hand and walked out of the health room.
"Ziwen, I heard that many people are sick today?"
As soon as he got outside the door, Zhou Ziwen met Wu Dagang who was rushing over.
"Yeah! It rained so hard yesterday that the temperature dropped in the middle of the night. If you're not careful, you'll catch a cold."
Zhou Ziwen nodded.
"So what are you doing?"
Looking at Zhou Ziwen's anxious look, Wu Dagang was a little puzzled.
"The health center has run out of herbs. I'll go dig some up the mountain."
Zhou Ziwen began to explain.
"Ziwen, thank you for your hard work. Do you want me to arrange some people to go with you?"
Wu Dagang said with concern.
