Gu Xia said as he wrote the prescription, "It's nothing serious, just drink something to remove dampness and it will be fine.
It's hot now, so don't drink cold water straight from the well. It's best to boil the water and let it cool before drinking."
At that time, people did not know the importance of hygiene and health, and always drank raw water directly.
When the weather is hot, just drink cold well water. Some people have poor physical constitutions, and if they drink too much cold water, they will easily suffer from diarrhea or dampness.
When the villagers heard that they could not drink raw water, they were very surprised. They had always lived this way and no one had ever said it was not possible.
Gu Xia sighed inwardly. It seemed that there was still a long way to go when it came to paying attention to hygiene.
He casually explained to the villagers, "This is raw water, there is no shelter, all kinds of dirty things will fall into it.
If you drink the water directly, won't the dirt go directly into your stomach?"
"That makes sense, little doctor. So, boiling water can kill the dirt?"
Gu Xia glanced at the person who was speaking and nodded in agreement.
"You're right. Boiling water before drinking it will kill a lot of bad things. Drinking it this way is hygienic and healthy."
Although they didn't understand what hygiene and health were, they understood after hearing what Gu Xia said.
Gu Xia knew that maybe only one or two of them would do what he said, but if he could teach one, it would be a good idea.
Gu Chun was watching from the side, feeling a little surprised.
Her younger brother always looked aloof and aloof when he was in the city, as if he didn't want to care about anyone.
I didn’t expect that coming to the countryside would be so down-to-earth.
Even the idea of boiling water to kill bacteria can be explained in a simple and easy-to-understand way.
It can be seen that it was very useful to have him stay in the village for a few days at that time.
Doctor Zhang felt very relieved when he saw his apprentice talking to the villagers with a smile on his face.
I feel like I have successors.
A doctor has a kind heart.
If a doctor likes to categorize people into different levels, he will flatter the rich and powerful and yell at the poor people.
Such a person cannot become a good doctor.
Later they received several more patients, including a few elderly people with rheumatism. Gu Xia gave them acupuncture on the spot, and their symptoms were relieved.
However, this disease is difficult to cure, so he can only advise them to keep warm and soak their feet if possible.
Doctor Zhang also treated several pregnant women. The villagers' living conditions were not very good, so even the pregnant women were not very fat.
It is not like in later generations, where they have to be told to eat less to prevent high blood sugar.
Looking at these villagers, almost all of them were very thin and had sallow complexions. Those in their fifties and sixties looked as old as those in their seventies and eighties in later generations.
Gu Chun felt very uncomfortable.
When she was in the city, she basically interacted with factory workers. Everyone had a supply of food and oil, and sometimes they could even buy some meat after receiving their salary.
But the farmers had to pay the public grain tax, and there was not much left for them.
The family’s total work points for the whole year were only a few dozen yuan, equivalent to two or three months’ salary for an employee.
Oh, and they haven't issued the tickets yet.
She was thinking, now that she had come to this era, what could she do for them?
