A few people in the clinic had just talked about the Xia family's affairs, and soon an ox cart hurriedly stopped in front of the clinic. Xia's mother, with a sallow complexion, was carried on the back of her nephew, and a group of people hurried into the yard.
"Doctor! Doctor! Help! My sister is vomiting blood!"
Li Fengjuan happened to have brought back some water, and when she saw them she hurried to the clinic. The lady who was following behind Xia's mother and supporting her and urging her on looked 70% similar to her, so they must be sisters.
"This way, this way. Let's take your second aunt to see a proper doctor." The woman slapped her son on the arm and abruptly changed direction, entering the clinic through the west door. But once inside, she discovered that the clinics were connected. The doctor she didn't want to see, Dr. Mu, was standing by the stove in the center of the room, and she glared at him fiercely.
Mu Huaixi was given an inexplicable cold shoulder, but she didn't take it to heart. She had been thinking of visiting Xia's house after work, but seeing that Xia's mother was fine except for her red and swollen eyes and listlessness, she turned around and went to apply a plaster to the waiting aunt.
On the other side, Jiang Wenyuan heard that Xia's mother had chest pain, so he measured her heart rate and blood pressure, and asked someone to help her to the diagnosis bed behind the curtain. He wanted to listen to the heart sounds, but was stopped by the lady next to Xia's mother.
"Hey, doctor, what are you doing?"
Jiang Wenyuan glanced at her, then looked at the medical record and explained, "Patient Li Hui reported chest pain. I need to listen to her heart sounds. Are you a family member of the patient?"
"I'm her eldest sister," Aunt Li put her hands on her hips and raised her chin towards Jiang Wenyuan. "She just feels sorry for her son and is angry. Just prescribe some tonic medicine and some painkillers."
"Without a complete diagnosis, I can't prescribe medicine." Jiang Wenyuan stood up and pointed to the bed behind him. "It's just right for you to help her over and take off her clothes..."
"What?! I have to take off my clothes?!" Aunt Li exclaimed, her finger almost touching Jiang Wenyuan's nose. "I've never heard of anyone having to take off their clothes to see a doctor!"
Jiang Wenyuan's face darkened and he put down his stethoscope. "Sister Li, the pain in her chest is very serious. If you don't believe me, you can take her outside the mountain for a cardiothoracic radiography to see what the disease is."
"What do you mean by heart or stomach? I don't understand. If she has heart pain, just give her some medicine for heartache," Aunt Li waved her hand. She felt heartbroken watching her sister vomit blood and faint, but now that the person who spoke had taken her to the hospital was taking her, she started to worry. She was worried that the examination would reveal something serious and she would have to pay for it. She just hoped that Doctor Jiang would just stop at nothing and prescribe some painkillers.
Jiang Wenyuan's face turned even darker. Painkillers don't work on the heart. Besides, if there is a real problem with the heart, taking painkillers would be a burden. The health center doesn't have many medicines, but they can't prescribe them randomly.
He wanted to listen to Xia's mother's heart sounds in the hope of ruling out the possibility of heart damage, but he didn't expect the family to be so uncooperative.
"Aunt Li, if you feel it is inconvenient, why don't we let Doctor Mu take a look?" Wang Xiaohua hurried forward to adjust the atmosphere. She had seen many family members like this in the county hospital. The patients were almost dying, but they were still arguing about the separation of men and women. There were also some who did not allow male doctors to see their wives, and did not allow female nurses to touch their noble grandson. There were all kinds of people.
Wang Xiaohua simply thought that since Dr. Mu was also a woman, it would be easier to ask about the patient's condition. Unexpectedly, Aunt Li turned hostile and said, "Who wants her to see me?! She went to my sister's house earlier and babbled nonsense, scaring her so badly! If she could tell my sister was ill, why didn't she prescribe medicine? Ah? How could such an irresponsible doctor be a doctor?!"
Wang Xiaohua was startled by the sudden outburst. Just as she was about to explain what happened that day, she saw Dr. Mu pull open the curtain and come over.
"Aunt Xia, I prescribed medicine for you that day, you can't talk nonsense," Mu Huaixi suspected that the Xia family was here to scam people, but she saw that Xia Dazhuang's mother was just leaning on the chair with her hands covering her chest, and her condition was much worse than when she first entered the door. She frowned and stepped forward to take her pulse, but was stopped by Aunt Li, Xia's mother's eldest sister.
"What medicine did you prescribe? You are a young girl and you think you can be a doctor?!" Aunt Li rolled her eyes. Her second sister has been timid since she was a child. She refused to come to the health center even after vomiting blood. If she had not found out in the car that the doctor here had scared her second sister, she would not have known that there was such a black-hearted doctor!
Jiang Wenyuan, who refused to prescribe medicine, also became one of the black-hearted doctors. Aunt Li now disliked the entire health center. She put her hands on her hips and was about to start scolding, but was stunned by Mu Huaixi's cold eyes and forgot what she wanted to say in an instant.
Mu Huaixi said with a cold face, pushing Aunt Li's arm away, "If you want to save her and want me to prescribe medicine, just be quiet."
"You little bitch!" Aunt Li was furious and stepped forward to stop her. "You didn't prescribe medicine before, so what medicine should you prescribe now? My sister is vomiting blood!"
"So, do you want me to prescribe medicine or not?" Mu Huaixi took a step back. "If the family members don't want to see it, just take the patient back."
"Let me see! Let me see!" Before Aunt Li could say anything, Mother Xia started to struggle on the chair. Only she knew that she was unwilling to come to the health center not because she resented Dr. Mu for not prescribing medicine for her, but because she was afraid of her.
After Mu Huaixi prescribed the "prescription" for her that day, Xia's mother had dreams for several nights in a row. In the dreams, she was really standing at the door of her house, pointing at her son's nose and scolding him, while her son, who was kneeling on the ground, cried and begged for mercy, and promised that he would never go out to drink and make trouble again.
At first she dreamed of her current son, but later she dreamed of her son who was drunk for the first time. She dreamed of helping him to comfort his daughter-in-law who was beaten. What did she say at that time?
"Your childhood friend Dazhuang has already given birth to a son, and you blame the man for drinking because you can't give birth yourself?"
In fact, she also wanted to scold her son at that time, but she just couldn't bear to see her daughter-in-law say bad things about her son, so she changed her tone before she even said anything.
Then Mother Xia dreamed of Dazhuang as a child. Because he was the only son in five generations and was conceived with great difficulty, his family doted on him and had very high expectations of him. Later, her husband passed away. Every time she wanted to scold Dazhuang, she would think of her own poor old man and her heart would soften...
Mother Xia always thought that Dazhuang had not grown up yet, but when she saw him lying stiffly in the yard today, she realized that he was almost the same age as her old man when he left.
The son lying in the yard looked nothing like the Dazhuang in her dream. She was shocked to realize that she had not eaten with her son for a long time, and he looked so strange.
Thinking about her old man and then thinking about Dazhuang now, Mother Xia was filled with regret. It was too late for her to scold him!
