Chapter 248: The Hospital of the County Town
The county seat was quite far from the town, and Chen Xin's cousin-in-law had never driven a big car like Chen Xin's RV, so he drove slowly and carefully, so they didn't arrive at the county seat until the afternoon.
There are more people in the county than in the town, and although there are not many people on the street, the large area of signs of life on the radar display screen still allows Chen Xin to deeply feel how crowded the county is now, or how many people are crowded in.
Because of the impact of the super tsunami caused by the initial meteorite impact and the subsequent melting of the Arctic and Antarctic glaciers due to high temperatures, the southeastern coastal area of Yanguo is one of the hardest hit areas.
Therefore, when Yan Guo received the news that the meteorite was about to hit the blue star from the beginning, he had already started the migration plan.
However, three months is still too short, and even with the overall dispatch of the state and the concerted efforts of all departments, the population of the coastal areas is still mainly migrated to neighboring provinces and cities, and only a small part of the population is migrated to the central and northwest regions.
As a result, provinces like Anhui, which are adjacent to the coastal provinces, have moved in a large number of migrants from the coastal provinces.
Even the population of this ordinary small county town in Chen Xin's hometown has skyrocketed from 200,000 to nearly 500,000 in the past, and the doubling population has almost filled the entire county.
If it weren't for the fact that the migrants were migrating according to the city, and the original municipal, medical, and police departments were all in good condition, and they could quickly resume operations and coordinate with the local departments after arriving in the local area, I am afraid that the food, drink, and lazar of these migrants alone would have completely collapsed the areas they moved into.
The impact of the population boom is also reflected in the strain on medical resources, and when Chen Xin and his parents arrived at the original county hospital, they found a waiting hall that was even more crowded than before the disaster.
Chen Xin still has a lot of familiarity with the county hospital, his grandmother used to live opposite the county hospital and was an infectious disease doctor in the hospital, and Chen Xin's mother's first job after joining the work was also in the county hospital.
Even Chen Xin himself, before he left here, he spent most of his childhood here.
However, for Chen Xin, the outpatient building, which was full of familiarity, has long since ceased to exist, and has become a building similar to a bunker.
Entering through the open protective door, Chen Xin looked around before he figured out what was going on here.
The history of the county hospital is very long, and this place has not been changed for decades since the establishment of the county hospital, so there are also underground bomb shelters dug in the seventies and eighties of the last century under the county hospital.
Before the disaster, the county government used this place, rebuilt the original air-raid shelter, and deepened it, and connected it with the outpatient building and inpatient building on the surface, and then demolished the upper floors of the outpatient building, and then reinforced the remaining surface buildings, and finally used the demolished construction waste and excavated soil layer to pile up on the surface of the building as a buffer layer, which became what Chen Xin sees now.
At this moment, there are a large number of people coming to see the doctor in the outpatient hall, which is not only noisy, but also extremely crowded, and it is obvious that the low temperature and cold have caused a large number of patients.
However, Chen Xin was not affected much, most of these people had colds or frozen, and there were not many fracture injuries like Chen Xin, so Chen Xin went to the department located underground with his parents after queuing up to register.
If it was in the past, Chen Xin's parents had a large number of acquaintances in the hospital, and although most of their acquaintances had retired after so many years, they could still find a lot of connections with a phone call.
However, now it has become very troublesome to find a relationship, and Chen Xin can only see a doctor according to the rules.
Fortunately, there are not many people in the orthopedic department, except for Chen Xin, there is only one who broke his leg, like an injury from a construction worker.
After the doctor finished examining the injured patient, it was Chen Xin's turn to go to the doctor.
The orthopedic surgeon is obviously much more professional than Zeng Liu, a pharmacist who has only studied orthopedics, and after some inquiries and examinations, he asked Chen Xin to take a film.
"Don't worry, young man, the person who straightens your bones has a good technique, there shouldn't be any big problem, the main thing to make a film is to confirm the condition and healing of the bones, don't worry." The doctor also deliberately comforted Chen Xin.
Hearing what the doctor said, Chen Xin didn't care much, his parents were a lot more relieved, after all, it was their son, and a fracture was already a big deal for ordinary people.
After taking a round of film examination, the doctor also had an understanding of Chen Xin's arm bones, and put the X-ray film on the light box to explain to Chen Xin: "The person who gave you the bone correction technique is good, but there are still some places that are not in place, and it can be seen that the technique is very old-fashioned, but the experience is insufficient, so it is necessary to make another adjustment to avoid problems." ”
"Still need to adjust?" Chen Xin remembered the pain when Zeng Liu straightened his bones last time, and his face was a little bad.
"Don't worry, it's not a big problem, just a small adjustment to make your bones reset more closely, after all, you can see from watching the film that there is still a gap between your two broken bones." The doctor seemed to see Chen Xin's hesitation, and persuaded him: "Although it is not a big problem to leave it like this, it will still have some impact, and adjusting it can also avoid the difference in the length of your two hands in the future!" ”
Hearing what the doctor said, Chen Xin hesitated, gritted his teeth, and nodded.
Seeing this, the doctor did not delay, and quickly untied the bandages and splints on Chen Xin's arm, and performed another orthopedic examination on his arm according to the X-ray results.
Fortunately, Zeng Liu had already reset his broken bone before, and now the doctor only needs to make some slight adjustments, although it still makes Chen Xin feel a burst of pain, but compared to the previous time when Zeng Liu gave him a bone, the degree of pain is much smaller.
The doctor adjusted, gave Chen Xin another medicine, and only then said to him after re-bandaging and fixing: "If it was before, you could go back and eat more bone broth and milk and other things to speed up bone recovery, but now...... Eat more nutritious things. ”
The doctor's expression was also very helpless, now in this situation of shortage of materials, not to mention bone broth, even milk is extinct, and what can be called nutritious is things like rat meat and synthetic vitamin tablets.
Chen Xin also wrote down the doctor's advice, and went to the pharmacy with the medicine list to prescribe the medicine.
I have to say that one thing is very good after the disaster strikes, that is, medical care is free.
