Liang Juren still nodded yes again and again.

At this moment, a maid came out of the main house, walked up to Liang Juren, and said softly: "Young master, Mrs. invites you to go over and drink a bowl of pigeon soup and rest quickly." The wife said that the young grandmother needs to recuperate after giving birth, so it is better not to disturb. The wife instructed the slave maid to clean up the west wing, and asked the young master to go there to rest tonight. ”

Liang Juren nodded his head and said, "Okay!" ”

Zhang Weizhao had already understood what the family's pattern was like by this time. Mr. Liang's wife has a strong desire to control her son, regards her daughter-in-law as a competitor, and is full of jealousy and hatred for her daughter-in-law. Director Liang is the shopkeeper at home. Liang Juren tried to make peace between his mother and daughter-in-law.

This is really the most typical problem in traditional Chinese families.

Zhang Weizhao doesn't plan to be with the mud, as a doctor, of course she is on the side of the mother.

So she looked at the young man in front of her with clear eyes and reminded, "Liang Juren? ”

The girl was not to be outdone: "Young master, Mrs. is still waiting!" ”

Liang Juren lowered his eyes and whispered, "Jiaohong, you go back to Mrs. Yu, just say that I will go over immediately." ”

Jiao Hong answered, twisted her waist and left.

Liang Juren bowed to Zhang Weizhao: "If it weren't for ...... today, I would be grateful for my kindness!" He didn't look at Zhang Weizhao as he spoke, and bowed his head and went into the East Chamber.

Sitting in the carriage on the way back, Zhang Weizhao remained silent.

Although he ate hot rice and drank hot porridge at Liang's house before going out, Zhang Weizhao still felt that his internal organs were cold.

Today's events reminded her of an article she had read on the Internet in her previous life. In that article, it was written that at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, there was a woman surnamed Hu in Jiangsu who had been married to her husband's family for ten years and had children and daughters. She likes to read and always wants to go to the academy to receive a new education. Her in-laws were very disgusted by her behavior, especially her mother-in-law, who felt that she had brought her children in bad way, so they locked her up and gave her no food, only a bottle of poison, and forced her to kill herself.

Her maid, who ventured to secretly deliver a letter to her brother. Her brother came to ask for someone, but her mother-in-law said that this is my family's business, and you should not interfere. My brother's brother sent a letter to his mother-in-law's brother, asking him to find an excuse to get rid of his mother-in-law so that he could save people. The mother-in-law insisted on staying at home and must wait for her daughter-in-law to die before doing anything else.

The woman eventually committed suicide by taking poison. The desperate book is all about worrying about her daughter.

Because Zhang Weizhao mainly works with women and children, he pays special attention to the historical development of women and remembers this article deeply. The longer she has been in psychotherapy, the more she has discovered that women's psychological trauma is not isolated, but deeply related to women's heavy histories.

Now, she has witnessed this living drama of history with her own eyes.

In fact, she has been witnessing, such as pomegranates and the daughters-in-law of the Qian family, their fates are like mustard, fragile and insignificant.

However, Zhang Weizhao clenched his fists, and Cao Ke's life is also his life! Although her power is small and cannot affect more people, as a doctor, she can save one by one! At the very least, today's Liang Juren's wife, Amei, because of her efforts, does not have to exchange her life for the life of her children.

As a doctor, she has always known what the phrase "protect the adult and protect the child" means. But it wasn't until today that she really realized what it meant in ancient times to "protect adults and children".

When she first entered the east wing, there was an open box at the midwife's feet. Inside the box are scissors, clips, and hooks with long handles. Some of the utensils also have rust spots on them.

If the baby is saved, these things will be used to open the mother's belly and pull out the baby.

If you keep the adult, these things will be used to reach into the birth canal, chop up the child's body, and pull it out piece by piece......

Later, when she saw that she had successfully delivered the baby, the midwife silently put away the box. While she was stitching up the mother, she took care of the child, and then went to Mrs. Liang to ask for a reward.

She seized the credit, although Zhang Weizhao disdained it, but he didn't mind it so much. What she really minds is that the two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are really not doing a good job of cleaning!

After they opened and closed the door, caged the fire, and carried the kettle, they didn't even wash their hands, they wanted to touch the birth door and the fetus!

That young daughter-in-law still has long nails on her ring finger and little finger!

Although Zhang Weizhao has done her best to maintain cleanliness since she took over, she is still very worried that her mother will be infected.

Another concern she is that in such a family environment, women may be prone to postpartum depression. But how can attention be paid to maternal mental health in an environment where even basic hygiene requirements are not met?

Even in China in the 21st century, postpartum depression is ignored by many families, and many people think that it is squeamish and hypocritical. But in reality, this is not something that the mother can control. In severe cases, not only the mother's own health and quality of life will be problematic, but the growth and development of the baby will also be directly affected.

A mother who is too difficult to live? How do you raise a child with vitality?

In such an era, raising children is a process of wrestling with death. Disease, malnutrition, natural and man-made disasters, all of which can kill people.

At this time, the infant mortality rate of about 50%, and postpartum depression also contributed to the increase in data, right?

What can be done to improve the situation? Expand popular science? Promote the concept of healthy childbirth?

Thinking of this, Zhang Weizhao couldn't help laughing at himself. There are no publishers, no networks; Medicine is not part of the formal education system, and is still passed on through apprenticeship; Psychology is even more miserable, there is not even a basic concept, and some sporadic treatments for mental illnesses are scattered in medicine, Taoism, Buddhism, and folk witchcraft, which are not systematic at all. It's hard for an individual's voice to have a big impact, so where does it start?

Forget it, don't think about it so much, return to the original intention, and help one is one.

Zhang Weizhao was so tired that he fell asleep against the wall of the car.

On the morning of the second day, after breakfast, the master and apprentice had a morning class, and came to the house where Zhang Rongkun put books and herbs.

The so-called morning class is to get up early to read Taoist classics such as "Tao Te Ching" and "Nanhua Sutra". Zhang Rongkun is not averse to these things. She feels that there is a lot of wisdom here, which is in the same vein as Chinese medicine. Understanding these classics helps her understand current medicine.

Zhang Rongkun asked her about the details of yesterday. The master and apprentice are not rigid people, although they are talking about childbirth, which is a thing that people are very particular about avoiding, but both of them go straight to the point, which is no different from talking about colds and angina.

Zhang Weizhao described the situation to the master in every detail. This includes the physical and mental state of the mother, the condition of the birth canal, and the specific location of the child.

Zhang Rongkun listened while bowing his head in contemplation. Listening to Zhang Weizhao talk about the process of delivering a baby, it seems very simple. Just like her previous cases of the Qian family, the Lu family and the Cai family, the methods used are not complicated, but they are very effective.

But Zhang Rongkun knew that the person who could do this would not be able to find a second one in the entire capital. Because these methods cannot be implemented without vision, insight and technology.

Doctors may have such a vision, but most doctors are men, and they are not allowed to enter the delivery room, and there is a lack of evidence. Midwives often come into contact with mothers, but they only act on the basis of oral experience, and have limited knowledge of medical science.

It's not uncommon for the feet to come down first when you're born. Therefore, there are also discussions on various medical techniques on how to deal with this situation. What do these medical books teach?

For example, if you tap the sole of the baby's foot with a ruler, the baby will retract the foot in fear of pain, so it will turn upside down and use its head to come out first......

There are also those who teach to rub salt on the soles of their feet, to anoint wine, and even to teach mothers to drink fragrant ash water.

Let Zhang Rongkun say, these methods are not bullshit!

The only available method he knew was to push the baby's foot back into the birth canal with a strong force while it was just coming out, and push the baby to rotate and finally come out headfirst again.

However, the risk of doing so is also very high, and if the fetus does not turn smoothly and stays in the mother's womb for too long, the danger is self-evident. Or if the force is not right, both the mother and the fetus will be damaged. Therefore, it is not possible for a very experienced midwife to carry out such an operation.

And what Zhang Weizhao did yesterday was not only to be steady and ruthless, but also to have enough understanding of the mother's body structure in order to succeed.

Zhang Rongkun couldn't help but sigh: "Nowadays, as far as Beijing is concerned, one out of ten mothers die in childbirth. In the countryside outside of Beijing, there are two or three out of ten. Other remote and poor places are even more unknown. If so......"

If more women like Zhang Weizhao practice medicine, I don't know how many mothers and babies can be saved.

Zhang Weizhao knew what Master wanted to say: "Master, it is not difficult to reduce the death of mothers during childbirth. ”

Zhang Rongkun said: "Let's hear it." ”

Zhang Weizhao is very direct: "I want to teach what I know to more people." In fact, just a few simple things can reduce a lot of risks. For example, how the midwife washes her hands and cleans the utensils used, and how to familiarize herself with the mother's body structure. ”

Zhang Weizhao was still a little apprehensive when he said this. First, at this time, doctors pay attention to the inheritance of their masters, and their own easy-to-use secret methods are easy not to be passed on. Second, she knows the difficulties of popular science.

In Europe in the mid-nineteenth century, for example, puerperal fever was very prevalent. And the more VIP women who are delivered by doctors or medical students, the higher the chance of puerperal fever, which is eight times higher than that of civilian mothers who are delivered by midwives. It stands to reason that doctors or medical students have much higher qualifications than midwives, with the former receiving the best medical education at the time, and the latter receiving only the most basic training. This comparison is so weird.
