The Manhattan Community Center Hospital Building is the second tallest building in the entire township after the Commission Building, but it is the largest building in terms of floor area and the only modern two-story building built entirely of cement bricks.
For a long time after the cataclysm, the entire Manhattan community was in the hustle and bustle of survival. However, in the construction of medical facilities, the community committee has invested the highest priority in the arrangement of manpower and material resources. The entire hospital building, along with the surrounding ancillary facilities, is very neat, beautiful and modern.
Although there are no modern varieties of grass seeds, people have managed to fill the community hospital with neat green lawns inside and out.
In addition to the eight men and women who were full-time medical workers before the disaster, several young men and women who were still studying in medical colleges and universities also became training interns, and many young men and women who had no special skills after the disaster also became training doctors or nurses.
As a result, the community center hospital has as many as 30 employees, making it one of the units with the largest number of full-time employees in all departments in the community.
At this moment, there is nothing more secure than a hospital that looks technologically strong, modern and beautiful. Every day, many community residents come and go here for various reasons, perhaps more in pursuit of a kind of psychological safety rescue.

……
Since returning from his second European trade voyage a week ago, Adelaide has been informed that he has been granted "permanent residency in the American Republic of China" and is one of the first people to have such status. Then Adelaide has an extra national ID called a "green card", with a string of zeros in front of the number and a 1 in the end.
The stinging and timid captain of England at sea quickly purchased an unstarted plot of land on the edge of the Manhattan community. The community town construction team led by Dong Jiunan was entrusted to design a beautiful one-piece villa, with an attached small garden and lawn, with an area of more than 800 square meters. For this reason, he was robbed of 240 pounds worth of Spanish silver dollars by Dong Jiunan and the community real estate management department under the community committee.
Although Ren Changle, the chief accountant of European trade with whom he is close friends, has repeatedly hinted that it would cost less than a third of the price to buy a property of the same size and size in a newly planned neighborhood in Brooklyn, the stubborn Adelaide has clearly fallen in love with the Manhattan neighborhood, which is now almost exclusively inhabited by Chinese people.
In addition to the £3 a week wage, which was considered super-high in this era, Adelaide received an additional bonus of more than £300 for two European trades. According to some theories, Adelaide, once a poor family confined to a squalid courtyard in Portsmouth, should now live in an upper-class community and deal with the upper-class people.
Adelaide's avant-garde and decisive move made Ren Changle stunned for a long time, and secretly admired that Europeans in these years should not be underestimated, and they know how to invest in their personal career and living environment.
The rest time before the third voyage was long, and Adelaide spent the rest of the day in the Phantom Bar and then spent the night in the expensive private room of the bar. However, the old English-born captain obviously had no intention of robbing the bar woman with the Chinese guys in the community, and always slept alone in the room.
After a week of living like this, Adelaide felt a change in her body in horror, a strange subtle sensation in her urethra when she peed in the toilet, and even two days later, itching and pain followed, and another night, it was already burning and red.
He repeatedly confirmed that he had not been in any special places in Porto Sangrajvo in the Azores, that he had not found any problems during the routine inspection after returning home, and that he had not stayed at any dancing girls after getting drunk at the Phantom Bar. Captain Adelaide could only consult Ren Changle with a puzzled and unbearable expression, and finally walked into the community center hospital.
……
……
The clean and beautiful hospital building made Adelaide feel an inexplicable feeling of emptiness before he walked in. Maybe it's the big pieces of glass windows and doors that can sell for sky-high prices in any city in Europe, maybe the snow-white walls that are so clean that they can almost illuminate people, or maybe the cold-looking nurse at the front desk.
In this way, Adelaide stood for a long time not far from the front desk of the hospital lobby with a restrained and tangled expression.
"Mr. Adelaide, are you unwell? Is it an emergency or an appointment? ”
The middle-aged head nurse, who had done a routine check-up for Adelaide, happened to come over, glared at the trainee nurse who had no professional courtesy at the front desk, and greeted Adelaide to the registration area with a grin.
"Oh, dear Ms. Huang, I'm a little uncomfortable...... Well, it's uncomfortable, I feel like I'm dying! Adelaide pressed his face, and the strange burning sensation between his legs made his face heat up.
"That'...... What are you going to look at? Nurse Huang curiously looked up and down the European captain, who was already well-known in the Manhattan community, and showed a caring gaze.
"Mr. Ren said, let me see the 'bird'......" Adelaide took a deep breath and said word by word in Mandarin, which he was not fluent in.
As soon as these words came out, the little nurse in the registration area burst out laughing, and then felt that she was a little out of place and quickly covered her mouth. And the middle-aged head nurse next to Adelaide was already holding back the laughter, and his whole face was reddened.
"Orniths?" The head nurse looked left and right and reconfirmed with difficulty.
Adelaide was even more nervous, but still convinced that he had heard what Ren Changle said, so he nodded firmly.
"But......" The head nurse finally glanced at Adelaide's whole body, and felt that the other party didn't seem to be joking, so she lowered her voice, "It's Ren Changle who told you to hang up...... Orniths? But we don't have birds. ”
Oh...... God, I'm not feeling well, I want a doctor, I'm going to die! Adelaide resisted the increasingly eerie burning itch between his legs and nodded vigorously.
"Head nurse...... He was talking about urology, right? The little nurse suddenly reacted and secretly pointed her finger at the list of departments under the glass plate in front of her.
The head nurse suddenly realized, quickly helped Adelaide tear down a note, and then personally led the other party to the second floor.
……
……
Since the establishment of the community hospital, there has never been a day when so many doctors and nurses will be called together, and an ad hoc clinical research project has begun.
Adelaide was horrified to find himself placed in a hospital bed by the doctor like a stripped white sheep, and the feeling of coldness in his lower body did not dispel the burning discomfort, but because of the playful gazes cast by countless pairs of eyes of various meanings, his whole body entered another state of shivering.
Could it be that I have something terrible about it? Are they making my final prayers? So, why didn't Pastor Brest come?
"This is a typical fungal urinary tract infection, which is more common for women in general, but men are also more likely to develop this type of urinary tract infection because of lack of attention to personal hygiene, such as not changing underwear frequently. We should strictly distinguish it from gonorrhea and other urinary tract STDs, so as not to misjudge and cause unnecessary panic in future immigration health examinations. ”
The ship's doctor of the former Changxin 07 bulk carrier lifted his glasses and introduced the interns and nurses standing around with a smile, and among these interns, two European men with high noses and yellow hair stood out.
One was an English doctor who was once on board the Mayflower, and the other was an Irish doctor who had been rescued from a shipwrecked England ship. They were all thrown by the community council to the community central hospital to receive professional reengineering and internship in modern medical knowledge.
"Oh God...... The urethral opening is red and swollen, but there is no pus, and sure enough, the symptoms are like this! The English intern carefully tugged at Adelaide's baby, his expression serious.
"I'm sure if it were in Europe, even the royal physician of His Majesty James would be helpless." The Irish intern muttered with emotion on his face.
"Doctor......" Adelaide's face was about to water, and his voice trembled.
"Oh, don't be nervous, Mr. Adelaide, in our hospital, you can get 100% treatment results, although the cost of treatment is relatively high, but given that you have provided us with a rare opportunity to teach a clinical class, this cost can be reduced to a certain extent!"
The Chinese doctor clapped his hands and most of them withdrew, and then a young nurse walked in with a plate of six capsules or tablets lined in the center of the plate by a white sheet of paper.
"Take one of each of these two pills twice a day. Maybe tomorrow you'll be feeling better! ”
In the face of the incomparably confident antibiotics of this era, Chinese doctors are full of pride.
"It's gone?" Adelaide hadn't yet reacted from the "huge funeral ceremony" just now, "Doctor, are you saying that it was just a teaching?" ”
"Yes, you are brave, Mr. Adelaide. Put on your pants, bring your medicine, and you can go home and rest. ”
With that, the Chinese doctor and nurse left the room. Adelaide was left naked, dumbfounded.
……
……
It's night, and the Phantom Bar has ushered in another fruitful harvest night.
For a week in a row, the first European crew members in the Manhattan community to be granted green cards became regulars at the bar as if they were addicted to drugs.
They were no different from any sailor of our time who was about to sail or return by chance, and they spent their limited wages on the pleasure of soothing their souls and dispelling the horrors of life at sea.
Even if the wheels of the 10 bar girls turn, they can't handle the wolves in the Manhattan neighborhood. But the barmaids are so happy that their weekly income, according to conservative estimates, is more than most of the European-American mechanics in the Manhattan neighborhood today. Earn a few years well, and then marry a man who resembles a sailor, and at the worst you can have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life, which is the pursuit of these hard-working European jokers.
Adelaide sat in the corner, the wine in front of him not pouring for a long time. Opposite him, Ren Changle, the chief accountant of European trade, kept looking at Adelaide with a playful smile.
"Dear Mr. Ren, I swear I love this country, I love everyone here, and this land, but I can't accept a teasing!" Adelaide stayed for a long time, and finally grabbed the wine glass and drank it all, his face full of vicissitudes, "God, they actually said that I hadn't changed my underwear for at least two months, but I remember clearly, I changed it a month ago!" ”
"Poof!" Ren Changle squirted a sip of wine on the table, and then pointed at the other party who didn't say anything for a long time.
"And what do you want? Planning to sue the doctors and nurses at the community center hospital? Sue them for insulting you? Ren Changle wiped the corners of his mouth, his face full of happiness, "I don't know who the judge is now, I'm afraid you will have to wait a few more months." ”
"No, you misunderstood, I mean, Mr. Ren...... Don't you think we can make a lot of money in Europe with this drug? Adelaide suddenly lowered her voice, her expression extremely excited, "I bet, it's just such a grain!" It can be sold for at least £1 in London! ”
Now it's Ren Changle's turn to start in a daze.
