Chapter 171: Every profession has its own specialization
Old Mrs. Liu nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, we have eggs and noodles at home. How about I cook her some sweet soup noodles with two poached eggs in it?"
The sugar-water noodles were also quite delicious. Yun Qiao nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, just follow your instructions."
Old Mrs. Liu went into the kitchen and started lighting the fire to cook noodles. Sister Fan also went in to help light the fire.
The noodles were almost cooked and Yun Qiao brought them to the east wing.
The old lady followed behind, wiping her tears as she comforted Wu Zhaodi, saying, "Don't be afraid, Zhaodi. The doctor is here, and the midwife will be here soon. You will be fine."
Wu Zhaodi had just finished her last contraction and was now lying on the bed, sweating profusely. She nodded weakly, "Mom, I'm not afraid."
Yun Qiao placed the sugar-water noodles on the bedside table and said, "The noodles are hot right now. Let them cool down before eating."
Wu Zhaodi pushed herself up and tried to sit up, but Yun Qiao quickly held her shoulders and said, "Sister Wu, you have to lie down. You can't sit up. Otherwise, the amniotic fluid will flow too quickly, and the baby in your belly will be deprived of oxygen."
Upon hearing this, Liu Dayong quickly said, "Wife, be obedient. If Doctor Ye tells you to lie down, then lie down well. When the noodles are cold, I'll feed you."
Wu Zhaodi responded, "Okay."
Liu Dayong was very careful. When feeding Wu Zhaodi noodles, he took a spoon and fed her directly to her mouth. He also put a bib of his little daughter under her neck to prevent the soup from flowing into her neck and causing discomfort.
I had just finished half of my bowl of noodles when the person who went to call the midwife finally came back.
The midwife was about fifty years old, not tall, a little plump, with a white and round face that made her look very blessed. She was wearing a navy blue short-sleeved shirt, black pants, and black cloth shoes. Her long white hair was neatly combed back into a low bun. She was very clean and tidy, and one could tell at a glance that she was a poor person.
As soon as she entered the room, Liu Dayong's eyes lit up and he stood up and called out, "Aunt Wang."
Wang Ying was the assisted deliveryman for Wu Zhaodi's first two births, and both births went smoothly. Liu Dayong had always trusted her, so when Wang Ying arrived, Liu Dayong felt relieved.
"Hey." Wang Ying responded, and then without saying a word, he walked to the bed and put a pillow under Wu Zhaodi's butt.
When Yun Qiao saw Wang Ying's actions, he remembered that the book said that women with premature rupture of membranes need to raise their buttocks to effectively prevent excessive loss of amniotic fluid.
The main reason was that she was not a professional obstetrician and had hardly ever delivered a baby. As a result, she had theoretical knowledge but found it difficult to grasp the details.
So, you still have to specialize in your field!
The midwives in the countryside may not have attended medical school, but they have experienced a lot and there are some truths in their stories.
After using a pillow to cushion Wu Zhaodi's buttocks, Wang Ying reached out and touched Wu Zhaodi's belly and briefly checked her condition.
Seeing Wang Ying's hand rubbing her belly again and again, Wu Zhaodi looked worried and couldn't help asking, "Aunt Wang, is my pregnancy not going well?"
"Zhao Di, you're about to give birth, so don't overthink it. Don't worry, your baby is fine, there's nothing wrong." Wang Zhao Di comforted Wu Zhao Di with a smile, then took her hand off her belly and turned to Liu Dayong and said, "Dayong, your wife is still a long way from giving birth. Keep feeding her. She'll have more energy to give birth later."
Liu Dayong nodded and said, "Okay."
Wang Ying walked out of the east wing, and Yun Qiao followed her out. She heard her asking Old Lady Liu for fragrant oil.
Mrs. Liu immediately went into the kitchen, took out a bottle of sesame oil, and asked Wang Ying, "Sister, we only have half a bottle of sesame oil left at home. Is it enough?"
"Just a little, this is enough." Wang Ying took the sesame oil bottle and asked Mrs. Liu to prepare more hot water.
Old Mrs. Liu agreed of her own accord.
Wang Ying brought a delivery kit, which contained disinfectant alcohol, scissors, hemostatic forceps, forceps, needles, thread, and gauze for stopping bleeding.
She also brought a long white gown specially worn during childbirth. There were some obvious dark marks on the white fabric, but Yun Qiao believed that she had washed it carefully because as soon as she took it out, Yun Qiao smelled a faint smell of disinfectant.
The strap of the jacket was tied at the back. Wang Ying was having difficulty tying it, so Yun Qiao stepped forward to help her tie it.
Wang Ying looked back at her and smiled at her: "Thank you."
Yun Qiao smiled and said, "You're welcome."
Wang Ying noticed the medical kit on the table in the east wing and asked Yun Qiao, "Are you the new medical officer of the Fifth Company?"
Yun Qiao nodded.
Wang Ying asked, "What's your name?"
"My name is Ye Yunqiao." Yunqiao answered with a smile.
Wang Ying smiled and said, "It's Doctor Ye. My name is Wang Ying, you can call me Aunt Wang."
Yun Qiao readily called her Aunt Wang.
Wang Ying asked her, "Can you deliver a baby?"
Yun Qiao shook his head honestly: "No, I've only learned the theory."
"Then why don't you follow me today? It won't hurt to learn more." Wang Ying said kindly, "Being a health worker in the countryside is different from being in a hospital. In the hospital, there are specialists who specialize in certain areas. In the countryside, there's only one health worker for every village. No matter what the illness, they'll come to you, so you have to know a little bit about everything."
There weren't many people as kind-hearted as Wang Ying. Yun Qiao accepted her kindness and happily nodded, saying, "Thank you, Aunt Wang. I will definitely study hard."
Wang Ying nodded slightly: "As long as you are willing to work hard, the future will be fine."
"Auntie, I have a question I don't understand." Yun Qiao pointed to the bottle of sesame oil on the table and asked, "You just asked Aunt Liu what sesame oil is used for? Is sesame oil used in midwifery?"
