Liu San met Dong Weiwei and handed the medicine to her. What he made were the simplest medicines: ready-made prescriptions, made from local herbs that could be collected and processed. For ease of use, they were all made into powders and
pill.
"These are simple herbal medicines I made." Liu San handed many paper bags and wooden boxes in the basket to Dong Weiwei, "You should know something about Chinese medicine."
"I know a little bit." Dong Weiwei was a little embarrassed, "Actually, I have learned a little bit of acupuncture, cupping, massage, etc. Because they are useful for fitness."
"Can you take your pulse?"
"Only know a little."
Liu San said: "In this case, you'd better read this "Barefoot Doctor's Handbook" first. There are many diagnostic and treatment methods for simple diseases. You don't necessarily have to rely on pulse diagnosis to make a decision - there are still more common diseases in rural areas.
Some. This is "Diagnosis and Treatment of Common Diseases in Hainan" compiled by Minister Shi, you should also study it."
"Okay, mastering some medical skills will be very useful for carrying out work."
"Here are the medical alcohol, absorbent cotton, and cotton swabs you applied for..." Liu San took out a list, "These are the list of medicines I prepared and the applicable symptoms." He said, "Here are the anti-harm and preventive medicines.
Tablet medicine, dampness medicine, laxative medicine, gunpowder clearing medicine, soothing and convulsive medicine... However, the Chinese medicinal materials here are really incomplete, and some of them cannot be prepared. Some of the medicines in the prescriptions are easy to find, so I will only give you the prescription.
.
Liu San finally took out a small wooden box: "This is a gift from the Ministry of Health to you - the medical box." He blinked, "There are some things in it that are trial products."
Dong Weiwei curiously opened it and saw that in addition to the commonly used things, there were also homemade gauze masks that looked very rough - this was a new product. There was also a box inside that contained a new set of simple surgical instruments.
"This thing is so important. Isn't it a waste to give it to a layman like me..." Dong Weiwei certainly knows that surgical instruments are expensive.
"It doesn't matter, this is Lingao Yiyi!" Liu San saw her reaction and felt satisfied, "Take it out and take a closer look."
"Is this made of copper?" Dong Wei asked in surprise.
"That's right, it's made of bronze," Liu San said. "To be honest, I didn't expect that the medicine and equipment factory could make this thing. I heard that Jiang Ye from the machinery factory brought a few jewelry craftsmen recruited from Guangzhou.
Done."
"It's so powerful!" Dong Weiwei's eyes shone as she looked at the things on the table, "The Ministry of Health is really amazing! This is a big help."
"I'm going to do disease control research in this area these days, and I can also teach you some simple medical skills." Liu San is a medicine student, but he has already received a surprise training in simple surgery in the hospital.
So Liu San started practicing medicine in the Shisan Village area. Not only did he practice medicine. Not only did he sit in the church, but he also continued to make use of Dong Weiwei's visits to the villages. This made their popularity in the area skyrocketed. Liu San
He is very careful during his rounds and records what he sees and hears every day - he is also responsible for basic health investigation work here.
When Liu San was doing his rounds, he deeply realized what "lack of medical treatment and lack of medicine" means. People here know that there is a profession called "doctor" in the world that treats people, but few people can enjoy it.
The doctor's diagnosis and treatment is rarely seen even among the wandering doctors who ring bells and carry medicine boxes. Once you get sick, you wait for self-recovery, and sometimes you use some earthly remedies that you don't know if they are useful. Various infectious diseases, chronic diseases, and parasitic diseases
Parasitic diseases are rampant; infant and maternal mortality rates are high, and gynecological diseases are very common. Dong Weiwei is also a woman, so she is particularly sympathetic to this. She has proposed several times whether to send more professional nurses here.
Liu San didn't care much about this aspect. There were not enough medical staff in Bairen, and there was a shortage of medicines. How could he send people here? Furthermore, practicing medicine was not his main business, so he paid more attention to collecting various information during his rounds.
Folk earthwork methods. No matter whether they are useful or not, when he encounters earthworks, he will carefully copy them down, and then confirm one by one what the medicines on the earthworks are. He will not let go of even the most ridiculous earthworks. He will also give them to him one after another.
I continued to collect many recipes.
On this day, he was sitting in the ancestral hall and saw many patients. Some of them he had medicine to give, so he gave a few medicines, and some did not, so he had to give licorice - purely a placebo. Fortunately, the people had it.
The doctor looked good, not to mention he didn't take any money, so he didn't care too much. After a busy morning, I was taking a rice ball out to eat, when suddenly someone shouted from outside: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, is the doctor here?"
Liu Sanyi heard the sound and knew that a critical patient must be here, so he hurriedly shouted: "Stop, come in quickly!"
Several men came in from outside and brought a patient.
"Put it on the board for me to take a look at," he ordered and walked over.
The patient was an eleven or twelve-year-old boy. His facial muscles were spasming constantly, his teeth were clenched, and he looked like he had a "wry smile." His larynx was spasmed, and he had difficulty breathing and was short of breath. Liu San was shocked when he saw it - this was a typical case of tetanus.
symptom.
"Where's the trauma?"
The man who carried the man in quickly pointed to his foot, which was wrapped with a piece of dirty rag. Liu San tore it off, and there was a deep wound in front of him. When he asked the person accompanying him, he found out that it was caused by a rake.
The injury was caused by a tooth poke. This is more conclusive.
"This is tetanus!" Liu San looked solemn. Looking at the patient's appearance, he could see that the toxin had begun to attack. Once a tetanus attack occurs, it is quite dangerous even in a modern hospital. Not to mention that his hands were empty and he didn't even have the hydrogen peroxide to clean the wound.
None, let alone tetanus serum.
"Doctor, please look at my child." The middle-aged man who brought him in begged, and then several women, old and young, knelt in front of him - probably his family members - all crying.
"You're not busy," Liu San calmed down and ran through Chinese medicine's treatment prescriptions in his mind. He immediately prescribed a prescription, "Go and get the medicine right away! There's probably still enough time!"
The person who took the prescription looked helpless. Liu San had been here for a long time and knew that the people here were extremely poor. For many people, getting medicine was just a fantasy. He quickly took out his private seal and stamped it on the prescription.
"Go to the herbal medicine shop in the county and give them the prescription!" The shopkeeper of this medicine shop has been very familiar with Liu San because he has frequent contacts with Liu San. It is no problem to ask them to give them a few medicines on credit.
The middle-aged man was about to kneel down and kowtow, so Liu San ordered: "Go quickly! If it's too late, there will be no rescue!" Then he shouted to the people crowding aside: "Get out, get out, what are you doing here?" Tetanus patient
He needed to be quiet and free from stimulation. He thought for a moment, and it was best to disinfect his wound now. There was no hydrogen peroxide, so he had to use potassium permanganate - this thing is quite precious now, and there is not much in the medicine box. That's right.
Thinking about it, Dong Weiwei came in.
"Doctor Liu, let's go eat. Today I made fried rice noodles--" She was startled when she saw the convulsing child lying on the door panel.
"Tetanus!" Liu San explained, "You have to help me."
"Okay, okay." Dong Weiwei quickly put on the green cloth coat on the wall. She didn't have a white coat, but since Liu San came, she followed his advice and wore a coat, mask, and hat whenever seeing a doctor.
.
"First move him to a quiet place. The patient cannot be stimulated." For the convenience of medical treatment, all the doors and windows are opened here, and the light is very bright.
"Move to the east wing of the church. No one lives there." Dong Weiwei immediately called for two soldiers to help carry the people to the east wing. Liu San also asked people to put paper on the windows to try to keep the room as empty as possible.
Relatively dark.
"Make 1:1000 potassium permanganate solution! Hurry!" Liu San observed the wound, and there was a lot of dirt stuck on it. Iron tools, rakes, and farmland, it is strange that these three elements are combined together to prevent tetanus.
Dong Weiwei hurriedly took out the bottle of potassium permanganate from the medicine cabinet, and found an enamel basin and water. Suddenly she asked: "Oops! There is no measuring cup or scale!"
"Put one in first, then slowly add water, pay attention to the color of the solution!" Liu San said, "Light red is enough, purple is too strong."
After preparing the solution, he first debrided the wound and then rinsed it continuously with potassium permanganate solution. The child had convulsions on the door panel from time to time. Dong Weiwei quickly came up to help hold it down.
"It doesn't matter. Take a look at his tongue coating. Is it yellow and rough?"
Dong Weiwei used a tongue depressor and finally managed to pry open his closed teeth.
"No!"
"How is your temperature? Do you have a fever?"
"I have a fever." Dong Weiwei touched his forehead, "Do you want to use a thermometer?"
"How's your sweating going?"
"I'm sweating, but I'm not sweating profusely."
Liu San took another look at his face, and there was no frightening purple color on his face. This meant that the condition had not yet entered the second stage - which is called "wind and poison entering the body" in Chinese medicine, and the possibility of success with Chinese medicine was still relatively high.
Feeling relaxed a little.
"No need," he said, "this child's current stage is called 'wind poison in Xiang' in Chinese medicine, and it is still in its infancy. Can you check his pulse? What pulse is it?"
Dong Weiwei knew that he was taking this opportunity to teach her Chinese medicine diagnosis. After using her fingers for a while, she hesitated and said: "I'm not good at this, but it feels like a pulse string count."
"This shows that his illness is still very serious." It depends on how quickly he takes the medicine. Liu San said, "If you hurry up and take your time, you can get a round trip in about half a day. This child will probably survive."
Dong Weiwei looked at the child, who was thin and small, wearing rags and rags. She suddenly felt pity: "Actually, doesn't Bairen General Hospital have serum? Just take it and give him an injection."
"Haha," Liu San laughed strangely, "There is only so much tetanus serum in total, and more of it has been used after D-Day. I still have to save it for my own people."
"I don't care about one." Of course Dong Weiwei knew how valuable the serum was.
"A dose of serum can save a life. Whose life do you think it will save?"
Dong Weiwei was speechless, this question was too cruel and too realistic.
"So now I will seize every opportunity to try Chinese medicine therapy." Liu San rinsed the wound and left it open without covering the sutures. "The serum will be used up one day, and then I will all rely on herbal medicine."
Then Dong Weiwei performed acupuncture on the patient under his guidance to curb the spasm reaction.
Late at night, the medicine was finally caught. Liu San personally crushed the medicine into fine powder, sieved it, mixed it, fed it to the patient with hot wine, and then spread the medicine on the wound.
"This is based on a traditional prescription called Yuzhensan." Liu San handed the prescription to Dong Weiwei, "You can research it. Tetanus is a disease that is often encountered here. Once you master these, it will be easy to deal with it.
Already."
In this way, he took medicine and applied it every day, and Liu San took care of him to replenish salt water regularly. After a few days, his condition improved greatly, and the cramps and stiffness disappeared. Liu San was greatly encouraged - in the past, he only knew about tetanus.
Traditional Chinese medicine treatment can be used, but he has never seen any examples. This case in front of him doubled his confidence. At least a disease that threatened the future health of the Cross-Travel Group had a corresponding treatment method. He quickly sorted out the entire treatment process,
It includes pulse records, prescriptions, medications and various treatment methods and measures used. This can be used as a standard medical record template to teach future doctors.
Seeing that the child was getting better day by day, Liu San's affection for him was very different because he saved his life. He often went to the ward to see and talk to him. In order to facilitate his activities in the county, Liu San
I use medicine to treat illnesses and I have learned some Lingao dialect, so it is not difficult to communicate.
After chatting, he learned that the child's surname was Fu - Liu San knew that "Fu" was a common surname in Lingao, and there were many people with this surname, rich or poor, high or low. As for the name, there was no name at all, not even names like Gou Sheng or Shitou.
, ranked fourth, called Fu Sinan.
Although Fu Sinan is known as the fourth eldest, he is actually the second eldest in the family. He is eleven or twelve years old this year. Two of his three previous brothers died before the age of fifteen. His brothers and sisters are still alive.
There are three. Fu Sinan's family background is the same as that of most people here. They are extremely poor. They live in a house with bamboo strips and a thatched roof. They eat sweet potatoes and taro for half a year - and they often don't have enough to eat. In short, that's it.
A standard specimen of the evil peasants of the old society.
After Liu San talked to him for a few days, he discovered that this child was very knowledgeable in gardening - he was responsible for cleaning up the garden where his family grew vegetables, and he had a character that was rare among people here and was willing to communicate with others.
Based on Liu San's experience: the common people in this time and space are generally dull. Basically, they either answer questions or simply roll their eyes and say nothing.
Having such a child who is good at expressing and communicating makes Liu San feel very good. He thinks of the call made by the executive committee for everyone to "take apprentices", and he is good at gardening, which will be of great help to his own medicine. Liu San
just ask:
"Can you read?"
"I don't know." Fu Sinan shook his head.
"Want to read?"
"I don't have money to study..."
"Well, how about you apprentice with me? You will also become a doctor in the future."
