Chapter 158: Barefoot Doctor
Hu Kehao's mobile phone ran out of battery and was charging at Sun's house, so he had to use a flashlight to call a doctor. Dr. Chen's house is on the other side of the hill, and it takes about 20 minutes to walk. Sun Jiali drew a map of Dr. Chen's house and important markers for Hu Kehao, and Hu Kehao went to find it according to the map. If you find the wrong person, Hu Kehao can inquire again, and the problem of inviting him is not too big.
On the road, Hu Kehao met a drunkard who came home in the middle of the night, and through his guidance, Hu Kehao found Dr. Chen's house very smoothly. Dr. Chan was asleep when he was awakened by knocks and shouts at the door, and he crawled up sleepily. People in nearby villages often get sick in the middle of the night, and Dr. Chan has become accustomed to frequent midnight visits.
Dr. Chen asked about the situation, and walked towards Sun Jiali's house with the medicine box and Hu Kehao on his back. Dr. Chan's medicine box is a treasure chest of medicines – tablets, capsules, granules, injections, etc., as well as needles and needles for injections. In the beginning, the needles were used repeatedly, soaked in alcohol and sterilized, and the same needle was used for anyone to give the needle. When the children in the village saw Dr. Chen's needle, they cried in fright. Later, the syringes were replaced with disposable ones and were no longer mixed.
Dr. Chan's medicine box is mostly filled with Western medicines, or proprietary Chinese medicines, and there are no pure Chinese medicines. Dr. Chan is both a Western and a Chinese medicine practitioner, a doctor and a nurse, both a prescriber and a collector. Dr. Chen uses a stethoscope, a blood pressure monitor, and traditional Chinese medicine to treat patients. If a patient takes Western medicine, Dr. Chan can prepare the medicine immediately. If a patient takes Chinese medicine, Dr. Chan only prescribes the medicine, and then the patient's family goes to the Chinese medicine store in the village to pick up the medicine. Later, Dr. Chan himself sold Chinese herbal medicines, and patients picked up medicines from him. Dr. Chan is a generalist and an all-rounder, he does not have a dedicated nurse, and patients rely on him alone for injections, medicines and infusions.
In the eyes of the villagers, Dr. Chen is a highly skilled doctor, and he can treat ordinary injuries and diseases. For some diseases that cannot be treated by major hospitals, Dr. Chen often cures them with medicine. Dr. Chan sometimes uses home remedies for testing, which is frowned upon by major hospitals, which may be one of the reasons why Dr. Chan is able to treat incurable diseases. The doctors, experts and professors in the big hospitals are like the doctors in the Tai Hospital, with empty eyes, and Dr. Chen is a bit like the miracle doctor Xi Lai Le, sometimes the treatment is more effective.
Dr Tan is more confident in his medical skills, but he is not so confident in medicines. The medical supervision department is not strict with the supervision of rural medical supplies, and he cannot judge whether the medicine he bought is a real medicine. If it is a counterfeit medicine, no matter how skilled his medical skills are, it will be difficult to cure the patient. Dr. Chen can only hope that the medical representatives and pharmaceutical companies will not harm the rural people with their conscience. Dr. Chan is a noble doctor and knows that life is not easy for ordinary people, and the medical expenses are not too high.
Dr. Chen walked in front with a medicine box on his back, and Hu Kehao flashed a flashlight in the back to show him the way. Dr. Chan learned about Sun's wife's condition and preliminarily judged that she had acute enteritis and possibly appendicitis. Fearing that the patient's condition would deteriorate, Dr. Chan hastened his pace and moved forward. As he walked, he saw a mansion in front of him, a vermilion gate, and a pair of stone lions in front of the door, which was majestic.
The two servants stood at the door, saw Dr. Chen, and hurriedly ran over, and said with a smile on their faces: "Looking forward to the stars, looking forward to the moon, I am finally looking forward to you, there are many patients here, I have been waiting for you for a long time, please come in." ”
Dr. Chen and Hu Kehao walked into the mansion one after the other and came to the hall, where there were indeed many patients lying inside. Most of them were traumatized, some had bruised noses and swollen faces, some had broken hands and feet, and some were bleeding, lying on the ground groaning in pain. The servant said to them, "The divine doctor has delivered you!" ”
When the wounded saw Dr. Chen, they knelt down in front of him. Dr. Chan approached them to check on their injuries, but they backed down for fear that Dr. Chan would run into them.
"If you don't let me touch it, how can you heal you?" Dr. Chan asked.
A patient plucked up the courage to ask Dr. Chan to examine his arm, but as soon as Dr. Chan touched his arm, his arm turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared. Dr. Chan took his hand away, and his arm grew over his body again.
"Dr. Chen, to tell you the truth, these wounded are not people, but ghosts. Because you are a doctor and often fight against illness, you have a lot of positive energy, and you have a righteous yang energy in your body, and these ghosts are all yin things and cannot resist your yang energy, so they are afraid to get close to you, and if you touch them, they will disappear. The servant beside him said.
"How's that for good? How to treat them? Dr. Chan asked anxiously. At this time, he seemed to have forgotten the purpose of going to the clinic in the middle of the night, and forgot that Sun Jiali's wife was sick and waiting for him. At this time, in the face of these crippled ghosts, he still does not forget his duty as a doctor and wants to heal them.
"I have to ask you to wear our special clothes to shield the damage of electromagnetic fields and positive energy to ghosts." The servant took out a shiny garment and asked Dr. Chan to put it on.
The dress looked like it hadn't been washed in more than ten years, it was hard and dirty, and it emitted a strong stench. At Hu Kehao's suggestion, Dr. Chen put on a fractal Sherpinsky carpet, which not only acts as an invisible carpet, but also shields against electromagnetic fields and yang energy. Dr. Chan draped the carpet and lifted up the patients to treat their injuries one by one.
Some of the wounded were bleeding. Dr Chan knows that when a person's arteries bleed, they bleed quickly, in the form of a jet, and are bright red in color. In venous bleeding, the bleeding is slower and dark red; When a capillary bleeds, the blood slowly oozes out and is bright red. Now, medical theories have failed, and the blood coming out of these ghosts is black, green, and yellow, and I really don't know what the reason is.
Dr. Chan didn't know how to treat ghosts, so he had to copy the methods used to treat humans. Analogy is a common method used by people to "cross the river by feeling the stones" method to always solve the problem. Dr. Chan first stopped the bleeding ghost by lying down the victim, elevating the injured area, covering the wound with sterile cotton yarn and pressing his hand on the gauze for a few minutes before the bleeding stopped. Dr. Chan then wrapped the wound tightly with a bandage.
Some ghosts have broken or dislocated limbs, and lie on the ground crying wolves and screaming. Dr. Chan held his hand and distracted him from his attention while using his dexterity to gently push the fractured bone to connect his broken bone in a few seconds. Dr. Chan then found two more planks to fix the ghost's fractures.
There were many wounded, and Dr. Chan had limited materials in his medicine box, so he could not handle them all. Some of the uninjured ghosts learned Dr. Chen's medical skills, and they obtained relevant materials from the mansion and treated them according to Dr. Chen's methods. Dr. Tan only needs to demonstrate, instruct or operate in the key links, and some other simple treatments and bandages can be handled by themselves. Some of the wounded had only some skin trauma, and Dr. Chen gave them plasters and acupuncture.
One of the wounded had festering wounds and was suffering from a fever. Dr. Chan touched his forehead and it was very hot. This ghost is originally a yin thing, and fever belongs to heat syndrome and fire disease, because yin and yang restrain each other, so compared to people, fever makes ghosts feel more uncomfortable. Dr. Chan had penicillin and sodium glucose chloride injection in his medicine box, so he took out a disposable infusion set and plunged it into the ghost's veins to give him an infusion, reduce inflammation, and reduce fever.
As soon as Dr. Chan turned on the switch on the syringe and dropped a few drops of liquid, the feverish ghost howled and his face was full of pain. Dr. Chan guessed that the ghost was allergic to penicillin and turned off the syringe. The ghost said that he had also been injected with penicillin when he was alive, and that he was not allergic to penicillin, possibly for other reasons.
"Ghosts are yin things, and your medical equipment is yang things, and yin and yang are incompatible, so ghosts are very uncomfortable when they are infused. I suggest ordering a few sticks of incense and offering them, so that the syringe and the injectable liquid will become offerings that can be accepted by the fourth dimension of the underworld. The servant said.
"In the middle of the night, where to buy incense?" Dr. Chan asked.
"You have a few sticks of incense in your medicine box." Hu Kehao said.
Dr. Chen looked at it and found a few sticks of incense in the medicine box, which his wife probably had quietly put inside. His wife was very superstitious and worried that Dr. Chen would encounter ghosts when he went to the clinic at night, so she often kept a few sticks of incense in his medicine cabinet. She said that once she met a ghost, she would burn incense and pray, and the ghost would not trouble him, but she did not expect that these incense sticks to come in handy at this time.
After Dr. Chan burned incense and prayed, he saw a double image next to the syringe and injection solution in physical form, which was a form of existence in the fourth dimension of the underworld in the third dimension. Dr. Chen used a syringe and an injection-liquid in the fourth dimension to infuse the feverish ghost, and everything went smoothly, the ghost no longer felt uncomfortable, no longer howled, no longer allergic, and the fever quickly subsided.
"Dr. Chan is truly skilled! My host is please! A maid-like figure came out of the inner chamber and invited Dr. Chen and Hu Kehao to come in and meet the owner of the mansion.
