Chapter 148: Centipede

The rainy season is the season when snakes, insects, and rats rain like to haunt the most. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info In particular, centipedes like humidity and are afraid of sunlight, and legend has it that at this time the toxicity is the strongest and the medicine is the best, so there is a custom of going out to catch centipedes at night at this time.

Adult centipedes, it is a dime a piece to buy, even if it is small, it is 5 cents, and everyone is still eager to buy it. After all, as long as you are willing to stay up late and catch it, it is still more convenient than catching eels in the water. For children, this is not only an activity that tests their courage and wisdom and can show off in front of their peers, but also a rare pocket income, so the motivation is very high.

However, catching centipedes can be risky. is like the one in front of him, this is really pretending to be bitten instead of being forced, and he is embarrassed and embarrassed. I have been bitten by a centipede, but it hurts very much, because the bite is on my hand, Yang Xiaobei touched it, and even the lymph nodes under the armpit were swollen, and it is estimated that it hurt enough last night.

"Yesterday I had to catch a centipede, and I was bitten so painfully that I didn't sleep all night, so we came over to take a look. "The kid said. From the countryman's point of view, being bitten by a centipede is a trivial matter, and it hurts for a few days. It's just that the child is in a panic, and now everyone is used to coming to the health room to see everything, so they still brought it over.

There is a saying that being bitten by a centipede hurts until the rooster crows. Because chickens are centipedes' natural enemies, the pain is reduced as soon as they hear a rooster crow. The Cendipede bites used to treat centipede bites in the countryside are also used to wipe the wound with egg whites or the saliva of a rooster. It feels a little mysterious, but it really works, maybe psychologically?

Yong Yanzi had also been to the clinic before, so he was not afraid of this female doctor in a white coat, but this time he sobbed and complained, "Doctor! Mom and Dad, they are all feudal superstitions!

…… Yang Xiaobei can say, the rooster crows because it is dawn, you have already survived the night, so the pain will be reduced? Legend is good to listen to, generally staying up all night will indeed reduce the pain, now look at Yong Lingzi is so serious, it is estimated that it was bitten by an adult or female centipede, and the toxicity is relatively strong. However, she also has no good way, and the treatment of centipede bites can only be symptomatic, except for the wound with wind oil essence. There is no special effect when sparkling water is smeared.

"So the only way to do this is to wait until it doesn't hurt?" The patient and his family were disappointed, why couldn't the doctor even cure the centipede bite?

Doctors are not omnipotent. As a Western medicine, snake bites are not as good as herbal medicines. In the end, I just asked my mother to do a skin test for Yong Lingzi and get a shot of penicillin. Because his lymph nodes were swollen and painful, he had some anti-inflammatory treatment. Then he was taken home by his mother - it hurt like this, he couldn't go to school, and being bitten by a centipede showed that he couldn't get home, which was very humiliating, and it was estimated that it would take a long time for the bear child to come out of this blow.

Several patients tossed for a long time, and it was almost 10 o'clock before Yang Xiaobei had time to eat breakfast. Taking advantage of no one's effort, Yi Huifen also hurriedly boiled water and cleaned up, she said worriedly, "It's not a way to go on like this, you don't eat until you get to this point every day, and people are going to starve!"

Yang Xiaobei devoured the breakfast that had already cooled down, and replied, "What's the solution?" People have been waiting for a long time, and they are in a hurry to go home and work in the fields, where are they embarrassed to let them wait for me to eat!" It takes her 45 minutes to come over every day, she gets up at 6 o'clock in the morning to wash, and it takes more than 7 o'clock to get here, so it is impossible to eat breakfast at home so early.

In order not to delay time, Yi Huifen cooks breakfast early at home every day, and then brings one to Xiaobei after eating. But despite this, she finished treating a batch of patients every morning, and it was not until 9 or 10 o'clock, not to mention that the food was cold, and it was not a way to be so hungry all the time. Xiaobei has low blood sugar and is easily dizzy when she is hungry. But she just didn't listen to persuasion, and always said that she was not in a hurry to eat, and the villagers were anxious to see a doctor.

Yang Xiaobei is also used to this rhythm, except for occasionally being too busy and dragging on for a long time, she doesn't think there is anything wrong. It's not winter, and it's not a big deal to have a cold meal. Besides, her previous rhythm of life was to get up at 8 o'clock, have breakfast at 9 o'clock, and go to work at 10 o'clock. In summer, because rural people are in a hurry to go to the fields, they often have breakfast early, lunch until one or two o'clock in the afternoon, and dinner until seven or eight o'clock, but she feels unaccustomed.

However, what my mother said also makes sense, in recent days, due to the large number of patients, she often has to be busy until after ten o'clock, she feels a little dizzy, and sometimes her eyes are intermittently dark. It seems that there are already symptoms of hypoglycemia, Yang Xiaobei pondered while eating, what dry food to make early, so that it is time to get up in the morning.

The two of them talked about the child today. Although it looks miserable, I always think it's very funny, "He must have been in a hurry to catch it, and he was bitten without holding it down." Yi Huifen said with certainty. Which of the children in the countryside did not catch a centipede to play with when they were young? Including Yang Xiaobei, when he was a child, he also pulled out the fangs of centipedes and held them in his hands as pets. But in the end, girls are timid (?) and dare not use their hands to grasp the original ecology.

Catching a centipede is actually very simple, hold it and pick it up, take a bamboo piece with the same length and width as the centipede, sharpen the two ends, insert one end into the centipede's palate, and insert the other end into the tail, stretch the centipede with the elasticity of the bamboo piece, and dry it in the sun. If it is rainy, put it at home to dry. Everyone is used to catching it, even if it is bitten, it is also bitten by a centipede hidden in wet clothes and corners.

Speaking of which, these bear children can always toss out some ridiculous things, catching centipedes, catching snakes, being bitten, and jumping long and jumping in competitions, which are nothing. Last month, a third-grader was fighting on his way home from school when he fell and landed on a large bowl with rice. (At this time, the primary school didn't care about eating, either bringing food or going home hungry to eat) I didn't feel it at the time, who knew that when I came home at night, my stomach hurt so much that I rolled, and I was carried to Yang's house by my family in a hurry to seek medical treatment.

If it had been a different barefoot doctor, the child would have died. Yang Xiaobei didn't know if there was such a thing in his previous life, but at that time, the child's face was pale, his abdominal pain was unbearable, his limbs were clammy and cold, and his blood pressure dropped. Yang Xiaobei judged that it was acute internal bleeding. She also didn't have rescue equipment, knowing that time was life, so she specially asked her family to find her second uncle to drive her to the county hospital.

As a result, people broke out in a cold sweat, and their spleen was cracked by the sea bowl when they wrestled! After delaying time at home, they were treated in time, and they were immediately pushed into the operating room to have their spleen removed, so that their lives were saved. Who would have thought that there would be such serious consequences for children to fight and make trouble? If there was no Yang Xiaobei, that is, if it was a sudden illness, he would not know the reason at all.

When there was no basic medical care in rural areas, many times the patient passed away, and everyone could not say what the symptoms were. Sometimes it is not enough attention, sometimes it is too far away from the hospital, in short, many times the child who dies just thinks that this is fate, he comes to this world to walk, and earns the tears of his family. But after this incident, everyone realized that everything could have been avoided by going to the doctor to see him. So this is also the reason for the sudden increase in the number of patients in the clinic, especially in the pediatric area.
