July 25th.

The 'trainees' selected from all over the country arrived at the National Hospital of Rolda.

Among the 96 people, only half of them are herbalists from all over the country, and there are many medical staff from grassroots medical institutions in various places.

In addition, many local herbalists do not understand the language and are conservative in their thinking. Even if the notice is sent to the corresponding tribe, they are not interested in participating in any learning activities, and in many remote areas, the herbalist is the 'god' of one or even several tribes.

The continuation of witch culture is not only the embodiment of inheritance, but also the stagnation of ignorance.

Many primitive ethnic groups do not understand the concept of disease, and still implement the custom of dancing the great god, infinitely elevating the status of local herbaries.

Even if the herb doctors are ignorant, they certainly understand what kind of benefits they have to return for maintaining the status of 'witch doctors' compared to the primitive people.

Fresh wild animals and furs are always the first to be enjoyed, even if they are far from modern civilization, they have long been accustomed to this kind of life.

There is an old saying in Huaguo -

I'd rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail.

The mountain is high and the emperor is far away.

In the local area, the herbalist is the emperor of the soil, free and at ease.

In addition to the eleven Chinese medicine practitioners, including Zhou Yisheng, Lao Mo also has to lead the group. The first foreign doctor of acupuncture and moxibustion was by no means blown out, and almost all the doctors in the TCM department of the national hospital were his students.

In this way, 96 people were divided equally, and one person was assigned to eight students, plus the apprentices of the Chinese medicine department of the National Hospital, and the number of students in each person exceeded 10.

Groups are organized by region, and students from the same region or from adjacent regions are placed in the same group.

Because diseases are regional, there is a concept in Western medicine called regional susceptibility, which means that a certain disease is concentrated in a certain area, which is inevitably related to local living habits and environmental conditions.

Take Zhang Zhongjian's group as an example......

His trainees are all from Malanje province, and only two of the twelve trainees are from local primary medical institutions, while the remaining ten are all herbalists who are herbalists who account for only half of the total, and the current proportion is obviously telling.

The Malan Waterfall is a must-see for tourists and is the second largest waterfall in Africa.

As a result, the tropical rainforest climate presents a myriad of dangers.

- Malaria.

Ancabine malaria is common, and in Malanje province, there is no other region in Africa that dares to compare with who has more malaria in Malange.

There's a lot of interesting stuff......

The English word for malaria is 'malaria', while the English word for malanje is 'malanje'.

The pronunciation of the two words is similar, and it is impossible to say that it is a coincidence, and the malaria in the area has become more frequent.

Therefore, the strength of the local herbalists is the most powerful among all the students, and they have to treat malaria for the patients of various tribes, without the assistance of modern medical treatment, all relying on earthworks.

Adhering to the principle of more work for those who can, Zhang Zhongjian has taken on the heavy responsibility of fighting malaria, which also means that in the future regional aid plan, he will go deep into the hinterland where 'malaria' is common.

The students on Monday were all from the province of Belón.

Coincidentally, Tang Aiyun's current location is Belon, and it is really not Zhou Yi who deliberately chose this area, because the Belon dialect is difficult to understand, and five of the herbalists among the students do not understand English at all, and daily communication can only be local slang.

However, among Zhou Yi's three apprentices, Aka is from the northeastern province of Belon in Ankabin, because his presence has given him the convenience of communication, and Zhou Yi can only take over all the Belon students.

Lao Mo is a person who really wants to do practical things, and it is by no means a face-saving project in the process of selecting students, and the ninety-six trainees cover all the provinces of Ancabin in the country, that is to say, after more than half a month, the medical team will go to various remote areas alone with the locals.

Tong Han and Deputy Director Zeng are going to the central pastoral area.

Locals raise camels, on the one hand, they often suffer from falls and fractures, and on the other hand, there are many infectious diseases in the pastoral areas, so the two are the most suitable pairs.

Kong Hongguang and Juchao are the most unlucky, the Kuanku Desert area, located on the southern border of Ancabin, human beings have an innate fear of all kinds of extreme geological environments.

Seriously......

Some people are already starting to regret their participation in medical assistance activities.

Although the resume after the completion of the matter is full, but the arduous process involves the issue of personal safety, but in the end, regret and regret, everyone has no way back, unless they are willing to give up medical care and change careers, official activities will never allow team members to give up halfway.

After three or four days of acclimatization, everyone was relieved.

In busy days, where is the time to be sad?

Reception, treatment, counseling, and in the evening, there will be group discussions to understand the distribution of Chinese herbal medicine in various places, and do enough homework to prepare for the real practice battlefield.

For everyone, the only fun these days is the steakhouse with Jack & Barrel.

Although I can't be as crazy as before, the anesthesia of alcohol is really a relief from nervousness.

Monday started to enjoy drinking.

……

It's August.

It's been a full month since the medical team arrived in Africa, but the adaptation period in a foreign country has only just begun.

The diet is not used to it, and the climate is not used to it.

The rest of the people from the south are okay, the climate in Lingnan is similar to that of Rolda, except that on Monday, it is difficult to adapt to the clear skies in the morning and the violent winds and rains in the afternoon.

Silan had long been familiar with the medical team, and often came to represent Jack for a drink, and a group of Chinese doctors had already become regular customers of the steak bar.

Before getting off work, Silan came to the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine to invite: "Hey, you should leave next week, right?" Professor Scott has prepared a practice wine for you, everyone must come!"

"Isn't there a week left to practice?"

Slan shrugged: "I'm sorry, Professor Scott may have to leave Rolda before you, the day after tomorrow there is an African medical seminar in Cape Town, South Africa, for a week, and when you have already left, Professor Scott may have just returned......"

The schedule was very unfortunate, so after the group seminars in the evening, everyone went to the appointment.

Zhou Zhou brought Nodra and Acre with him, and the learning level of the two apprentices has improved by leaps and bounds these days, and he should also be rewarded as a 'master', so he paid for today's wine.

As for Eshidi, the pace of learning is slow, and because of his cold temperament, he is a little unsociable, and instead of getting along with each other for so long, he has become more and more familiar.

Monday greeted him, and he chose to refuse, and the scene was obviously not pleasant.

"Eshidi may not participate in the regional aid, he has been very disappointed lately, he may feel that there is a gap between him and me and Acre, and his family would prefer him to switch to Western medicine, and I see that he has information on the medical school of the United States in his drawer......"

In this way, the truth of the matter is revealed.

On Monday, you don't have to worry too much about this person, or feel embarrassed that you don't teach well.

When he saw Zhou Zhou's calm expression, Aka felt strange: "Teacher Zhou, aren't you angry?

"Why are you angry? I'm also a Western doctor, have you forgotten?"

Aka and Nodra were stunned, the long-term process of learning Chinese medicine had long made them forget Zhou Sheng's identity, and always brought him into the role of 'very powerful Chinese medicine', but in fact their teacher was just a student who had just graduated from Western medicine.

The bar was happy and everyone was happy.

At the end, Jack sat down in the corner booth on Monday: "The two patients you treated were discharged, and they wanted to thank you, but you know that this is not appropriate, so I can only convey it on my behalf." ”

Since the emergency incident, Zhou Zhou has not asked about the patient's condition, and it is inconvenient for outsiders to know, so if they can hide it, of course they must hide it.

Now that I heard that the patient was discharged from the hospital, Zhou Zhou felt very relieved, very comfortable, and a sense of accomplishment.

His careful thinking was seen through by Jack at a glance: "How about giving you a suggestion? When your medical assistance is over, stay! Isn't it for you to settle down, in the surgery of the national hospital, I have a certain right to speak, I can give you enough space to study, so that you won't waste your talent, right?"

Zhou was stunned, his pupils were shocking, and such a suggestion, or invitation, had a great impact on him.

He tried to speak several times, but he stopped talking.

Jack was surprised, and raised his glass to touch the wine glass in front of Zhou Sheng: "Don't be in a hurry to answer, you have more than three months to think about it, you know? I decided whether to come to Africa, and I thought about it for half a year, until I spent all my savings because of alcoholism, and I couldn't afford to buy a whole set of her favorite Barbie on my daughter's birthday, and I realized that I couldn't go across the ocean without a job......

"Of course, I've heard that Chinese families are different from us, you have the support of your family's finances, and you don't need to think about it so much...... But, because of this, you can devote yourself to your studies. ”

"Okay, let's not talk about that, drink!"

"Fack...... I hate the seminar in Cape Town, where there is a woman I don't like!"
