Chapter 628: Military First, Medical Second 1

What is a military doctor?

"All doctors, medics, health workers and other military personnel engaged in medical care in the army can be called military doctors. Military doctors are soldiers first and doctors second. You can also say they are soldiers with medical skills as an auxiliary. We are different from the civilian personnel who sing and dance in the art troupe, and we are different from the civilian personnel in the army's organs and units." These words were not said by Guo Xiuying, but by Wang Sanbao, a senior military doctor.

Feng Qingxue was proficient in traditional Chinese medicine, and could indeed perform first aid, treat injuries, and set bones, but she knew that surgery was her weakness, and she had no experience in first aid on the battlefield.

So, as soon as she got the job, she proposed to study.

Guo Xiuying attached great importance to her and specially found Wang Sanbao, a senior military doctor with more than 30 years of experience, to take her under her wing.

To lead means to teach.

Wang Sanbao is a typical hero among medical soldiers. He often shuttled through gunfire and hail of bullets, witnessed the bloody battlefields, saved many wounded soldiers, and watched many of his comrades-in-arms never return home. After participating in his first large-scale battle, he became mentally ill and it took him a long time to recover. He finally decided not to marry for the rest of his life.

Remaining single for life is a characteristic of many medical soldiers, including those internationally.

After listening to Wang Sanbao's explanation about military doctors, Feng Qingxue asked, "First the army, then the doctor, does that mean that we have to participate in daily training when we are not seeing patients, just like the soldiers? Organizing housework, military training, and learning guiding ideology?"

Her first reaction was this: military training. She participated in three consecutive military training sessions in junior high school, high school and college.

Each training lasted seven to eight days, and they were trained so hard that they all left the barracks in tears.

Many junior high schools do not have military training. When she graduated from elementary school and entered junior high school, for some reason, she participated in an eight-day military training on the eve of the start of school that year. Moreover, their class was the only one that had military training, there was no military training before and there was no military training after that. The military training took place on campus, unlike in high school and college when it was in a military camp. She truly experienced the daily life of a soldier.

What Feng Qingxue was talking about was the training content of ordinary soldiers in the army. Wang Sanbao laughed at once, "It seems that you have a deep understanding of it? You are absolutely right. The difference is that soldiers receive military training, and we learn medical skills."

"After all, I've lived in the army for so long, how could I not understand anything at all?" Feng Qingxue said with a smile.

Wang Sanbao nodded, "That's right. You will do drills in the morning, and then you can tidy up, clean, wash, and the rest of the time before dinner is yours. Since you are pregnant and live in the family compound, we have agreed that you don't have to participate in the morning and evening training for the time being. It is very important, and you can't be lazy and not come during the day."

"Don't worry! I know what I should do." Feng Qingxue's attitude was very serious. She would never miss such a rare learning opportunity. It would not do any harm for her to learn more real skills.

Today is her first day at work. After completing the formalities, it is time for her to collect her things. When Guo Xiuying brought back the military uniform, first aid kit and various equipment for Feng Qingxue, she saw Wang Sanbao testing Feng Qingxue's first aid skills. Xi Bao was sitting obediently beside her playing with grass insects, not making any noise. He was chubby and fair and very lovable.
