Chapter 41 Physical Examination of the Mentally Ill
On this day, Xia Wei and her group came to a village farthest from the health center, and the village doctor led them to the homes of mentally ill patients, where she saw that the current situation of some mentally ill patients was not optimistic.
The first is the living environment, and the second is that there is no one to take care of them, some of them live in old and abandoned houses in the countryside, overgrown with weeds in front of the door, and their homes are even more messy.
There is such an elderly female patient, her hut is next to her son's new building, there are some weeds growing in front of the door, the old lady lives alone in this hut, Xia Wei when they arrived, the old man has not gotten up, the door is bolted from the inside, knocking on the door and there is no response, they have to call the old man's son and daughter-in-law, after waiting for about ten minutes, the old man opened the door, and was able to enter the house, the outside of the house was empty, there was no furniture, In one corner of the house, there were some farm tools and taro dug up with soil on the ground, and the village doctor introduced the situation of the old man, who had two sons and a daughter, both of whom had already started a family, and the old man had not taken medicine for many years.
A few years ago, it was my wife who took care of this crazy old lady, and a few years ago, her wife also suffered from cancer and was unable to take care of the old lady, so she wandered around the village, so that no one found out that her wife died in the house. After the death of his wife, the old man lived alone in this house, and the neighbors said that just a few days ago, the old man was hungry, and he used firewood and grass in the kitchen to light a fire in the stove, but he forgot not to put rice and water in the pot, and the fire in the kitchen was extinguished by the neighbors.
Xia Wei came to the old man's bed in the back room, the room was a little tidy, there was an empty wardrobe, a table, and some clothes hung on the hemp rope in front of the window, Xia Wei came to the old man and told the old man that he was giving her a physical examination, however, the old man replied and said: "I burn taro to eat, I eat indica rice." Xia Wei continued to say to her kindly, "Auntie, you take out your arm to measure your blood pressure." While speaking, Xia Wei took her arm out of the quilt, and the old man retracted his arm in horror: "I don't have a physical examination, I'm not sick, let's go." Xia Wei continued to smile and told the old man: "This is a good national policy, let us give you a free physical examination." ”
"No, I just don't have a physical examination, I'm in good health." The old man curled up under the covers.
Xia Wei had to call the old man's son to comfort her, however, she was not persuaded to do a physical examination, Xia Wei was afraid of disturbing the old man, so she had to give up and go to the next patient's home.
Under the guidance of the village doctor, Xia Wei and the others came to a young female patient's hospital, which is a small farm yard, the yard is very tidy, it is a two-story building, the door is locked, and no one pays attention to the knock on the door, according to the village doctor, he notified the patient of today's physical examination last night, but she works in a company in the county, lives with her family, insists on taking medicine every day, and her family also works outside. Therefore, when they went, their family may have gone out to work, and when they asked their neighbors about it, they had to give up, and the physical examination was unsuccessful.
The next physical examination object is a middle-aged man, his condition is slightly better, he is also a patient who lives alone, Xia Wei When they went, he was helping his younger brother's family to take care of the children, playing with the children, he also lived in an old abandoned house, the house was a little messy, there was a small table in the living room, in addition to the bed in the room, there were also a few old cabinets, and some farm tools, his father told Xia Wei that his son had always insisted on taking medicine, so his condition was relatively stable, and occasionally he would scold people or even do his hands when he had an occasional attack, but as long as he insisted on taking medicine, Generally relatively stable.
There is also a middle-aged woman, she has not been married due to illness, is living with her mother, relying on her mother to do farm work and relatives and friends to help live, after the reimbursement of the monthly drug expenses, there are hundreds of yuan is paid for by herself, her mother told Xia Wei that the family is a little overwhelmed, if there is free medicine to eat, Xia Wei said: "Don't worry, there will be that day, you see that now the cooperative medical treatment is not also reimbursed for part of the medical expenses, and when the national conditions are good, it will be reimbursed more." ”
The old man said gratefully, "Thank you, doctor, help us talk about it, and see if you can give us more information." "Okay, I'll help you report this situation upwards."
The old man held Xia Wei's hand and said, "Thank you so much!" ”
Xia Wei couldn't help blushing, and hurriedly patted her shoulder ashamedly: "No thanks, no thanks, it should be." ”
Now the conditions in the rural areas are indeed good, but with the families of the mentally ill, they often lose the ability and opportunity to work, and some can also engage in some manual work during the rehabilitation period, but when they do not take drugs in a standardized manner, they will get sick, so some enterprises do not dare to use these people, but as long as everyone tolerates them more, so that they can standardize the use of medicine, there will generally be no violent conflicts. How to accommodate these mentally ill people has always been a matter of concern.
On this day, Xia Wei got up at half past five, was busy making a pot of pancakes with soybean milk noodles, wrapped in boiled sweet potatoes and finished breakfast beautifully, and drove more than ten kilometers to the unit, and set off on time at half past seven o'clock, came to the medical point that was contacted yesterday, and was led by the village doctor to start the physical examination of the mentally ill.
Xia Wei and they walked on the country road with medical equipment and equipment in their hands, everyone laughed and came to a patient's house, this is a man in his early thirties, seeing Xia Wei and their group, they put down the carpentry work in their hands and greeted politely: "You still come to the house to help me do a physical examination, thank you for your hard work." ”
Xia Wei said: "You're welcome, this is the country's care for you, and we have to do whatever it takes." ”
He said: "Yes, now the state really cares too much about us people. In the process of doing various physical examinations, Xia Wei learned from him that he was stimulated when he was seventeen years old, and when asked what he was stimulated to get sick, he smiled and said to Xia Wei: "This is difficult to say." ”
Xia Wei looked at his embarrassed appearance and said jokingly: "It doesn't matter, if you don't want to say it, don't say it, allow it." After saying that, everyone laughed.
The man also told Xia Wei that he is now well controlled by drugs, and although he is not married, he is very comfortable, doing some carpentry work by himself, fighting for some money to live, and living happily with his parents.
After listening to his introduction, Xia Wei was still happy for him, he was one of the few people who could insist on taking medicine on his own, control his condition so well, and be able to support himself.
Xia Wei still instructed him: "You must insist on taking medicine, don't think nonsense, getting sick is a burden to your family, but it is a pain and torture for yourself." So, be strong and live your life. He replied very gratefully, "Yes, thank you so much." ”
Xia Wei and the others left the man's house and came to an elderly female patient's hut, which was a very small room built next to the big house, with only a bed, a kettle, a spittoon, and a very dilapidated stool, the room was not high, and a micro wind fan was still hanging on the beam, and the house emitted a foul smell and a cool breeze. According to the village doctor, the old man has been doing well lately, and can often wander around the village, and his children bring food to the hut for her to eat three meals a day.
A colleague condemned the old man's children for not taking the old man home to live, but as her family, maybe she lived alone for some reason, but this kind of behavior is unjustifiable, Xia Wei said to the village doctor: "We can persuade the old man's children to take the old man home to live through the intervention of the village committee." The village doctor said, "Try it, the village committee may not be willing to come forward, this is a family matter, who will do something that offends people." ”
Xia Wei said, "Just try it." ”
Xia Wei and the others left the old man's cottage with a painful heart, and came to the home of a middle-aged female patient, she seemed to be in good spirits, with her grandson, and the house was also well tied, although the old couple lived in another place, and the son's building was a little smaller, but it was also a good bungalow. From the outside, this is a very harmonious family, the grandson lives in a bungalow with her, the little grandson is still sleeping in the bed, she greets the good grandson and cooperates with Xia Wei and them for a physical examination.
She was very happy to have the opportunity to have a physical examination at home, Xia Wei learned in the process of chatting with her that their children were very filial, and after the condition was stabilized with medication, she had not taken medicine for a long time, and she did not get sick, perhaps it was inseparable from the harmony of the family and the filial piety of the children.
Xiao Ming is the only child in the family, one meter eight tall, outstanding appearance, is the pride of his parents, both parents are farmers, in order to provide for their son to go to school, his parents worked tirelessly in the field, they planted ramie to let their son complete high school, and also built a two-story building. Xiao Ming was not admitted to university, Xiao Ming came to the city to work like other people in the village, but what Xiao Ming never expected was that the outside world would be so complicated, he couldn't cope with some complicated interpersonal relationships at all, he was spoiled by his parents when he was at home, who knew that it would be so difficult to get along with people outside, is this the life he wants? He began to be confused, and one day after that, he completely collapsed, and when the factory sent people to send him back to the village, he kept saying unintelligible words to the villagers, and he also lost his temper with people from time to time, and kept wandering around the village every day. His father could only follow him silently, and with the help of relatives and friends, they took Xiao Ming to a psychiatric hospital for treatment.
After Xiao Ming recovered from his illness and was discharged from the hospital, everyone found that Xiao Ming's father continued to wander around the village and said words that people couldn't understand. At this time, everyone realized that Xiao Ming's father was also sick like Xiao Ming.
So there were two mentally ill people in this family of three at once, how should they live, when the villagers were anxious, some well-wishers asked Xiao Ming to go to work in the factory.
Xiao Ming knew that he couldn't get sick anymore, he must insist on taking medicine regularly, he took his mother's expectations and the various medicines he took to work in the factory of well-wishers, he understood that his work was not easy, he must work hard, only in this way can he live up to the hearts of well-wishers.
He worked hard, regardless of pay, and worked hard, and a girl who worked with him fell in love with him, and he told the girl about his illness, which did not shake the girl's love for him, and so, they fell in love. Soon after, they had a beautiful and lovely daughter.
His father's condition was up and down after taking the medicine, and he also had other medical ailments, and just last year his father passed away and his daughter went to middle school.
When Xia Wei and his party came to his house, they saw that the small farm yard was very clean, the marble floor tiles in the living room were cleaned spotlessly, and a large refrigerator was placed in a corner of the living room.
Xiao Ming is a very polite person, every time he goes to his house will affectionately call Aunt Xia Wei, when Xia Wei asked about his mother, he said excitedly: "Mom cooks for the workers in the factory, my wife also works in the factory, and now the family has a daughter who goes to school idlers, and the small life is very good." ”
Xia Wei is really happy for Xiao Ming to see that he can live such a happy life now.
