  Chapter 124 Stealing a needle is a stye

   What kind of publicity work on schistosomiasis prevention and control do you want ordinary people to participate in? The common people were not interested, they all waved their hands, shook their heads, and continued to work in their contracted fields.

  Hey, you said that the doctors of the People's Hospital are going to provide free clinic services, and now the common people are excited.

  The cadres of the commune shouted into the loudspeaker in the village, and a large circle of farmers immediately surrounded the small square at the entrance of the commune.

   It is really not easy for mountain people to see a doctor.

  With the end of that era of passion and the beginning of reform and opening up, rural medical services have undergone earth-shaking changes, and the original "cooperative medical care" system has quietly ended.

  Originally, farmers could enjoy free and basic medical services by paying a few cents a year.

  Barefoot doctors are not good enough, but no matter how bad they are, they are still doctors, and they will always pack some medicine for you.

  But after the end of the cooperative medical system, farmers began to need to pay for medical treatment and medicine at their own expense. The price is still very cheap. It only costs a few cents to go to the commune health center for a doctor, and only a few yuan to have a child.

   It is such a small amount of money that many farmers can't afford it, and are in a state of "relying on minor illnesses and waiting for serious illnesses to die".

   Now I heard that doctors from the People's Hospital, the largest hospital in the Vietnam-Central region, are going to conduct free free consultations. Everyone, whether they are sick or not, should come to watch the excitement.

  Anyway, if you are sick, you will be treated, and if you are not sick, go to the market.

  Chen Qi's organizational skills are quite good. Before the large troops arrived, he had moved the tables and chairs out of the commune meeting room and placed them in the small square, and pasted the names of the various departments on the tables with a brush.

  Bian Hongen was a little nervous: "Squad leader Chen, why did you let me go to the obstetrics and gynecology clinic? I have only been practicing in the obstetrics and gynecology department for a few weeks."

"Then who do you say we go to the obstetrics and gynecology department? Should I go? Are you afraid that I will be beaten to death by a woman in the mountains? Besides, farmers just consult some basic medical problems without prescribing medicines. You can definitely handle them. Believe in yourself! "

  Chen Qi just finished fooling around, and Ma Xiaona quit:

   "Squad Leader Chen, I, I am most afraid of children crying, you let me go to the free pediatric clinic, I am afraid!"

"Afraid? What are you afraid of? Afraid that the child will eat you? Let me tell you that your pediatrics is the easiest. Children have no underlying diseases. A cough is a cold or bronchitis. If you have a fever, take antipyretics. How simple? Don't be afraid. , take the stethoscope and pretend to be a doctor!"

  Over there, Wang Shannon called for someone again:

   "Chen Qi, what can we do in internal medicine? We don't have any inspection equipment, and we don't have medicine to give to farmers."

"Internal medicine, let's measure blood pressure in internal medicine. In addition, let me give you a word, we doctors, 'sometimes heals, often helps, and always comforts', we can't solve it, but we can comfort these old men and women. Timely treatment of heart disease is equally important."

  The simplest thing on the scene is the Chinese medicine department, three fingers, a small pillow, all working together.

  Master Liu Shifu, a classmate in the TCM doctor class, had been sitting there a long time ago, quietly, not causing trouble for Chen Qi at all.

   The rest is "surgery".

   This is Chen Qi's old business. He has quietly taken out some basic medical equipment from the space hospital, and is ready to do some routine outpatient minor operations at any time.

  The peasants had already rushed from ten miles and eight townships at this time, because they all relied on walking, and many of them were still on the road.

  When the cadres of the commune saw so many people, they immediately turned on the loudspeakers in the square, and all kinds of revolutionary songs began immediately:

"Secretism is good, socialism is good, and the people of socialist countries have a high status. The anti-D faction was overthrown, D-nation fled with its tail between its legs, and the people of the whole country were united. It set off a climax of socialist construction, a climax of construction~ ~~”

  The small officials of the commune took out the red flags from the big battle and put them around the small square.

  The drum bands from Commune Elementary and Middle School were also called to the scene, and began to play and beat.

  For a while, it was also full of gongs and drums, firecrackers blasting, red flags waving, and crowds of people. It looked very lively, just like a big battle.

   Now the cadres of the commune are satisfied, and Teacher Fang who leads the team is also satisfied.

  Farmer friends are too lazy to listen to the endless speeches of your commune cadres. As soon as they arrived at the scene, they rushed to the free clinic counter, making several major commune leaders blush.

  Chen Qi and the others all borrowed white coats from the commune health center. When they saw the farmers rushing up, they swallowed their saliva and sat up straight.

   This is a rare opportunity for everyone to practice alone.

  Of course Chen Qi doesn’t count, he is an old fritter, and immediately started to devote himself to seeing a doctor.

   There was a young woman sitting in front of her. Her upper eyelid was red and swollen, and she couldn't open her eyes.

   "Doctor, help me find out, what's wrong with me? It's been a few days, and it hurts when I touch it, and there is still a hard one."

  Chen Qi knew what the problem was when he touched it: "Sister, you have a sty."

   "What is a stye? Is it okay?"

   "A stye is a stolen needle, but yours is already infected and inflamed, so it is very swollen."

  The young woman became anxious when she heard this: "Doctor, I am an honest person. I never peek at others taking a bath. How could I get this disease?"

  The mountain people next to him are already booing: "Ah Zhen, you must have peeked, tell me which man you peeked at? Be careful if your husband finds out that you will scold him."

   Farmers, they always like to make dirty jokes.

  Rural people think that "stealing needles" is doing bad things, and only happens after seeing people and things that shouldn't be seen.

   Now the young woman stopped doing it, tears were about to flow: "No, no, how could I do such unfeminine things, doctor, you can't wrong me!"

  Chen Qi rolled his eyes, this first patient made pornographic news, isn't that terrible.

"Sister, don't listen to their nonsense. Stye, also known as hordeolum, is an acute suppurative inflammation of the sebaceous gland or meibomian gland near the eyelash hair follicle. There are two types of stye: internal stye and external stye. This is a typical external stye. , it’s a bit serious, forming an eyelid abscess.”

  The woman stopped crying as soon as she heard it: "Then doctor, what should I do now?"

   "It's okay, I'll just give you a knife."

   "Ah, surgery?"

  These words immediately attracted more people, surgery, this is definitely a serious illness in the eyes of farmers.

  The woman's husband, mother-in-law and brothers immediately surrounded her:

   "Doctor, do you have some terminal illness, and you are going to have an operation, what should you do?"

  Chen Qi feels that the work of medical science popularization in rural areas is really a long way to go:

   "Don't worry, don't worry, listen to me..."
