The first snow in 56 years came later than usual.

However, it is also larger.

It snowed heavily all night, and the next day the whole world turned white.

The earth was sealed by thick snow.

Although Zhang Yan was born in a northern city in his previous life, this was the first time Zhang Yan saw half a meter of snow.

In later generations, with the greenhouse effect and global warming, it is not easy for northern cities to see heavy snow.

Unless you go to the Northeast, it is said that half a meter of snow is relatively easy to see there.

Early in the morning, Zhang Yan took Zhao Shengli and others to start clearing the snow.

First sweep away the snow in the east courtyard, then start from the backyard and work towards the front yard.

Other people in the courtyard had also gotten up, and everyone took shovels and brooms to join the team of clearing the snow.

After clearing the snow in the yard, I went out and started cleaning the snow in the alley outside.

Everyone was very proactive, and people from every yard came out to clear the snow without the neighborhood committee's mobilization.

Because, when they go to work later, they have to walk through this alley.

Each was responsible for a section of the alley facing their respective yards, and soon the snow in the alley was cleared to create a path.

After breakfast, Xiangzi and Gangzi took their younger brothers and sisters to school.

After Tong Mei finished eating, she left home early and headed to the subdistrict office.

"Tell the director that I will go to Xicheng Hospital for surgery today.

Xiao Yuan will come back early in the evening to cook.

Please pay attention to safety on the road." After Zhang Yan told Zhao Shengli and the other five, he also walked to Xicheng Hospital.

Half a meter of snow on the road outside is not easy to clean.

All of a sudden, everyone was brought into the same class. No one needed to envy anyone. Everyone drove the No. 11 bus to work.

Along the way, countless people slipped and fell.

The snow is very slippery after being trampled hard, and the ground after being cleared is also slippery because the snow water penetrates and freezes, making it slipperier than the hard snow.

We walked carefully all the way to Xicheng Hospital.

Zhang Yan did not go to Chu Yunlong, but went directly to the general surgery ward on the third floor and found Zhao Pengcheng, who had arrived in advance.

"Dr. Zhang, why are you here?" Zhao Pengcheng asked in surprise.

"It snowed heavily last night. I estimate that a lot of people will be injured today, so I came here to see if I can help." Zhang Yan said with a smile.

"Great! I was still worried just now. Every year when it snows, the surgery is the busiest time. Thank you, Dr. Zhang! You are really timely."

"No, if it rains again after it snows, it won't be timely rain, it will be fatal rain." Zhang Yan said with a smile.

The heavy snow has just finished, and then it rains. Just think about it and you will know what the scene will be like.

All the snow has turned into ice, and the ground is covered with a thick layer of ice crust that cannot be swept away.

The number of injured people is estimated to have increased several times.

"It is expected that there will be many trauma patients and gastrointestinal patients today, who are you..." Zhao Pengcheng asked.

He has to arrange tasks and what kind of operations each doctor is responsible for, so that treatment can be carried out properly.

Because if the patients don’t come, they will all come together.

Therefore, the tasks that each person is responsible for must be assigned in advance.

"I can be responsible for anything. Otherwise, I will be a free man. I will go wherever I am busy." Zhang Yan thought for a while and said with a smile.

"Free man, that's a good idea. You can go to the operating room and wait! If you are too busy, I will ask the head nurse to call you."

"Okay!" Zhang Yan agreed simply, went directly to the operating room, and waited for the patient in the operating room.

After changing into surgical clothes, Zhang Yan came to the doctor's duty room in the operating room.

It's time to go to work now, and it will probably take about half an hour before the injured people are sent to the hospital.

As soon as Zhang Yan sat down, a nurse very attentively brought Zhang Yan a cup of tea.

This was arranged by the head nurse.

Zhang Yan miscalculated. Just after taking a sip of tea, the head nurse ran in and said, "Doctor Zhang, we just sent a few patients with fractures. Director Zhao asked you to come over and help."

"Okay!" Zhang Yan got up and came to the operating room.

This operating room is a comprehensive operating room, where basically all surgeries are performed.

Not really, Xicheng Hospital has already arrived and gathered the operating rooms together.

Instead, Xicheng Hospital only has one operating room and four operating rooms.

Zhang Yan went straight to the operating room without washing his hands.

A patient has been brought in, and Peng Dahai and Lu Jun are busy with sterile clothes.

Peng Dahai didn't have the benefit of a nurse to help put on sterile clothes, so he and Lu Jun could only help each other tie the belt.

The sterile gown of this era was actually like a sleeved apron with several straps. After putting it on, it was tied from the back.

Sterile gowns are not disposable. Although they are changed every time they come out, the replaced sterile gowns are cleaned and disinfected by high temperature before continued use.

"What's going on?"

"I fell down on the road and fractured my left forearm."

"Let me take a look!" Zhang Yan walked to the injured person, picked up the broken arm and checked it.

"Dr. Zhang, the patient has just finished taking the X-ray. It will take a while before he can come out." Peng Dahai quickly added and reported the situation.

"No, you go and inform. All patients with fractures or suspected fractures don't need to take X-rays. They can just be sent here directly." Zhang Yan explained to Peng Dahai, and then took advantage of the injured person's distraction to lightly touch his hand.

Push hard, pull and loosen, and there will be a squeaking sound.

Some misplaced bones are connected together.

"Ouch!" Only then did the injured person react and scream in pain.

"Bring the splint." Zhang Yan told the equipment nurse.

"Oh!" The equipment nurse was stunned for a moment and quickly handed the splint to Zhang Yan.

"Dr. Zhang, how can you know the patient's fracture status without taking X-rays?" Peng Dahai questioned.

"Traditional Chinese orthopedics has a history of more than a thousand years. During these more than a thousand years, there has been no X-ray machine. How can we still treat diseases and save lives?

Traditional Chinese medicine is not as good as Western medicine in surgical operations, but its understanding of the human skeleton is more than a thousand years earlier than Western medicine.

Just do as I say." He said without raising his head.

"Okay, I understand!" Peng Dahai hurriedly ran to find Zhao Pengcheng.

"The army took notes, blood-activating and pain-relieving decoction: angelica root, red peony root, salvia miltiorrhiza, peach kernel, safflower, earthworm, rhizome root, Luodeda, Dipsacus chuanensis, Corydalis 3 qian each, mulberry branch 4 qian each.

Vice, drink three times.

Xugu Huoxue Decoction: Angelicae Sinensis, White Peony Root, Rhizoma Dioscorea, Adenophora Leaf, Dibici Chong, Drynariae Rhizoma, Dipsacus Dipsacus, Luodeda, Corydalis Corydalis 3 qian each, tangerine peel, Citrus aurantium 2 qian each, Millet Spatholobus, Mulberry

Each branch costs 4 cents.

The second prescription is to be taken a week later, one prescription a day, boil three bowls of water into one bowl, and take it all at once." Zhang Yan was busy bandaging the injured, and his mouth was not idle, asking Lu Lu to take the place.

Keep a record of your own prescriptions.

"Okay, Doctor Zhang!" Lu Jun finished writing, and Zhang Yan also applied a bandage.

"Comrade, you don't need to be hospitalized for your injury. Just go home and recuperate. Remember to take the medicine according to the prescription I prescribed." Zhang Yan explained to the patient gently.

At this time, three or four patients were brought in from outside.

Zhang Yan stepped forward to examine them one by one, set their bones, fixed them with splints, and prescribed medicine.

Zhang Yan said that patients with fractures would be sent directly without having to take X-rays, which would reduce the pressure on the X-ray room.

Zhao Pengcheng simply made another adjustment and sent all the patients with bone injuries to Zhang Yan.

He led others to deal with other injured and injured patients.

Fortunately, the injured people who were just brought here are not in very serious condition. They are just unlucky and slipped and broke their arms or legs.

In fact, you can tell by looking at the ages of the injured that they are all in their fifties.

Falling is one aspect, and another aspect is that people age and develop osteoporosis in varying degrees.

This is the main reason.

Young people, how many falls while walking can cause trouble?

In fact, not one in a thousand people may suffer a fracture due to slipping and falling while walking.

But it can't handle the large population base. Where is the population base of the entire Xicheng District?
