After the fifteenth day of the lunar year, Dr. Jiang returned to the health center and brought a big news: someone wanted to work in the health center.
"What? Who is it? A doctor or a nurse?" Wang Xiaohua immediately became interested and jumped to Jiang Wenyuan's desk, pretending to help him wipe the table, but actually wanted to find out some information.
Jiang Wenyuan glanced at Mu Huaixi and shook his head. "It's hard to say at the moment, but someone came to me and said they wanted to work in the hospital."
"What does this mean?" Wang Xiaohua was dumbfounded. She would welcome a doctor or a nurse, but from what Dr. Jiang said, why did she feel that this person was someone with connections?
Li Fengjuan also frowned. She always spoke tactfully, "Our clinic is very busy right now. If someone comes here to cause more trouble, it's better not to come."
"Is it someone from the military district or the local area?" Mu Huaixi's first reaction was that the local authorities finally remembered their health center and planned to send someone over, but they were "demoted" to this mountain village. The person who came either offended someone or had no real strength.
After all, there are very few people like Jiang Wenyuan who graduated from a reputable military medical school and volunteered to come here.
Jiang Wenyuan just shook his head. "It's just that there is such a possibility. You should be mentally prepared."
"This is really scary," Wang Xiaohua patted her chest and quickly became optimistic. "Maybe an anesthesiologist will come first. I'll send him here to get familiar with the job, and then the military district will send all the operating room supplies over. Then I'll be the operating room nurse!"
Seeing her holding her head high and chest out, Mu Huaixi could not help but smile and shook his head, thinking that this was the good thing about Xiaohua, she never thought badly about the future, and even if she was depressed when she encountered bad things, she could quickly adjust her mood.
Mu Huaixi felt that he should learn from her.
The first thing Jiang Wenyuan did when he came back was to hold a meeting and emphasize not to abuse drugs and not to prescribe too many drugs to fellow villagers.
On his way back, he heard about the Hu family's situation. "Company Commander Hu's wife told the truth when she arrived at the military hospital. She was afraid the child's high fever would damage his brain, so she gave him adult doses of medicine."
Analgin should be taken according to the doctor's instructions. Adults should not take more than 0.5 grams each time, and children should take 8-10 mg per kilogram of body weight each time, and each dose should be taken at least eight hours apart.
"Wang Xiaoshui took the medicine once at 10 pm and again around 7 am. The interval between the two doses was sufficient, but the dosage was too large for a child's kidneys to metabolize."
"According to her recollection, Hu Xiaofeng developed diarrhea and dizziness the day after taking the medicine, but she thought it was a sequelae of catching a cold and didn't take it seriously."
"On the morning she came to see you, Wang Xiaoshui noticed that the child was a little slow to react, but she didn't take it seriously."
Mu Huaixi sighed in her heart. Wang Xiaoshui would never tell her these things. Even if he did, he would be vague about the dosage or downplay it. But when she arrived at the military hospital, he told her everything honestly.
In fact, drug abuse has always existed. Even decades later, many people still regard the medicines prescribed by small clinics as miracle drugs.
"A big hospital requires blood tests and CT scans just for a cold. It's obvious they're trying to scam me out of money. I'd rather go to the clinic downstairs!"
Clinics spend little money to achieve great results, but most of the drugs they prescribe are antibiotics. What's worse, they use cephalosporin, amoxicillin, and erythromycin together to treat a minor cold. The cold cannot be cured, but drug resistance is cultivated.
"When I was at the military region, I heard that Hu Xiaofeng had a blood test and was given an IV drip. I heard that his hearing had recovered somewhat, but it's hard to say to what extent."
The damage to the kidneys, blood, and nerves caused by excessive use of antibiotics is basically irreversible. All she can do now is pray for Xiaofeng.
Jiang Wenyuan clearly took this matter very seriously. He pulled out a notebook and passed it around. "I asked alumni to find some cases. Take a look at them so you can share them with your fellow villagers."
Wang Xiaohua exclaimed as she opened the first page:
"An 11-year-old patient took eight Analgin tablets consecutively and was rushed to the hospital after feeling unwell. He was diagnosed with acute aplastic anemia and died a week later?!"
"Six tablets of Analgin damage the kidneys. A sixteen-year-old boy is deaf and has severe kidney damage?!"
After reading these cases, Li Fengjuan was filled with anxiety. "Doctor Jiang, I won't dare give this to my patients anymore!"
But now, the Analgin series of drugs are mainstream drugs, and even Jiang Wenyuan’s previous application included many such drugs.
Mu Huaixi comforted him, "It's just like aconite. If you use it too much or incorrectly, it will become a highly toxic aconite. If you use it well, it will become a life-saving aconite. As long as we use the medicine safely, there will be no problem."
"Yes," Wang Xiaohua suddenly understood and gave her a thumbs up. This is what we will do from now on!
Mu Huaixi had been busy all day and had long forgotten what Jiang Wenyuan said about someone wanting to enter the clinic. But when she was preparing a medicinal bath for Song Zhengxin in the evening, Mrs. Pei, who came to help, took the initiative to tell her an explosive news.
"Cao Aijun from the Second Battalion got married, and his wife packed up and came over after the New Year. I heard she's a Chinese medicine practitioner, and she's very famous in the surrounding area!"
Mu Huaixi was shocked at first but then realized that this was the reason why Jiang Wenyuan was hesitant to speak!
"Sister-in-law," Mu Huaixi also gave her a gossip in return, "Jiang Wenyuan said today that someone wants to enter our health center."
"Um?"
Pei Ru still lives in the guesthouse. In addition to taking care of Song Zhengxin every day, she goes to Sister Yu's house to help deal with disputes of all sizes in the family compound. Therefore, she is very familiar with every household and knows more about some news from the regiment headquarters than Mu Huaixi.
She listened to Mu Huaixi's words thoughtfully, "I haven't heard Sister Yu say this."
"If this is true, having more Chinese medicine practitioners is actually a good thing," Mu Huaixi was quite optimistic about this matter. Although what Cao Aijun did was very unkind, anyone could tell that he was targeting her, which was indeed disgusting.
But she has not had any contact with Cao Aijun's lover, so she cannot arbitrarily conclude that she is a bad person.
Besides, Chinese medicine practitioners are rare, and female Chinese medicine practitioners are even rarer. If there is another successor of Chinese medicine, the two of them can exchange skills and learn from each other, which is a good thing.
Pei Ru thought Xiao Xi's thoughts were a bit wishful thinking. "If Captain Wei wanted to arrange for her to go to the hospital, he would definitely talk to you and Doctor Jiang first. Now he has only told Jiang Wenyuan. I'm afraid Cao Aijun has gone to find Jiang Wenyuan after getting married. He might be targeting you."
"But don't worry, you've done a great job. Everything should be done on a first-come, first-served basis."
Mu Huaixi was not worried about this. Now that she was not in the health center, she set up a stall outside to sell plasters, and she could still make a lot of money every month. She just felt that Cao Aijun was a naive and playful person, and used important life events as chips for gambling. She wondered if he would regret it later.
"However, I have to tell Zhao Huihui this good news!"
