Jiang Nian counted them and found that there were about ten children.
"Are you all from the same village?"
"The three of us are from the same village, but the others are not. However, there are children in our village who want to be dewormed. Their families don't have time to come now, but they will come in a couple of days when they have time."
After Jiang Nian understood, he said, "In this way, you have to prepare the deworming medicine one by one and boil it one by one, which is also very troublesome. Why don't you go back and count the number of children in your village who need deworming, and then have the village chief come to me to register and get the medicine. In this way, I can boil the medicine and let all the children drink a bowl, so that I don't have to go through the trouble here and you will have to go through the trouble again when you go back."
"Then wouldn't our trip be in vain?" It wasn't easy to come here from so far away, and some people were unhappy.
Jiang Nian said, "The deworming medicine for one person is 10 cents, and the one for ten people is only 50 cents. The larger the quantity, the cheaper it is. You can decide for yourselves. If anyone wants to take individual doses, that's fine. But I don't have a lot of medicine here, probably only enough for ten people. If you want a large dose, come back in two days. I'm taking a day off tomorrow and won't be seeing patients. I have to prepare the medicine first. If you need deworming medicine, come over the day after tomorrow."
"Is that so?" Once money is involved, they can't help but start haggling. "Then let's come back the day after tomorrow and count all the children in the village. We can save a lot of money."
"That's right."
Most of the people with children had left, and there were probably about a dozen people left in the yard.
"Let's start seeing patients. Everyone line up and come one by one. Forget about today. Everyone go back and inform them that in the future, patients who are not in an emergency don't need to come so early. We will start seeing patients after six o'clock."
I've been up for a long time, but the sky is still foggy. Who can stand getting up so early every day?
The first patient to see the doctor was the older lady who had a stomachache. She said that the bleeding had lasted for more than ten days and was still going on. The amount was not large, but it was not clean. It only increased yesterday and blood clots came out. But when she heard that Jiang Nian would start seeing patients today, she endured it for another night before coming, just to save some money.
Jiang Nian observed her condition and took her pulse again.
My goodness, this is not my period, this is clearly a miscarriage.
As for the blood clot that flowed out yesterday, it might be the baby who hasn’t started to develop yet!
Jiang Nian quickly asked her to go in and lie down, closed the door, and pressed on her abdomen to help the dirt in her stomach come out.
This lady is really generous. She treated her miscarriage as her period. She was in so much pain, but she still came all the way here alone without even anyone to accompany her.
Jiang Nian prescribed some medicine for her and didn't let her leave. Da Wang ran over to watch the fun and was pulled by her to watch the fire boiling the medicine. She asked her elder sister to drink the medicine and observe for a while before going back.
Several elderly people suffered from back and leg pain. Those with severe pain received acupuncture, while those with less severe pain were prescribed plasters to apply themselves. Some had been coughing for two months and the pain was not healed yet. Some were still enduring diarrhea and bleeding.
In a nutshell, as long as we can save money and still have breath, we can hold on.
From this we can also see that life is indeed not easy for the poor.
The people in front were walking, and there were more people coming behind. There were not many people from this village, because people from other villages were far away, and they were not in a hurry to see a doctor for some minor ailments accumulated over the years, so they tacitly saw the outsiders first.
Jiang Nian thought that the herbs she prepared would be enough to last for a while, but she didn't expect that after just one day, several kinds of herbs were used up, and all the herbs that she had processed and could be used in her space were also used up.
The elder sister who had a miscarriage was the last to pass away. After taking the medicine, she lay down on the bed specially prepared by Jiang Nian and took a nap. After waking up, she felt much better. A lot of dirt had been discharged from her body, and her stomach didn’t hurt as much anymore.
It’s hard not to feel sad when I think about the fact that I had a miscarriage without even knowing it.
She was too busy some time ago, so she didn't take the stomach pain seriously at first. Because she had always experienced dysmenorrhea, the pain lasted for several days. She just thought it was more serious this time than before, but she didn't expect it to be so serious.
