Chapter 280: Visiting the Hospital

In order to solve the spread of the disease, it is certainly not enough to rely on medical examination and treatment within the army.

Of course, the external sources of transmission should also be remediated.

Early the next morning, Fang Lang invited Mayor Ewald Dursley to inspect the city's medical and health facilities.

Riding through the streets of downtown Natal again, Fang Lang was very surprised.

No wonder last time Mr. President expressed his admiration at the construction of Natal.

The current period of Natal and Fang Lang's military administration has indeed undergone tremendous changes.

The main street has been turned into a four-lane concrete road, and tall landscape trees have been planted on the side of the road, so you can no longer see the original muddy and dilapidated appearance.

There was only one hospital in Natal, and when Fang Lang and Mayor Ewald Dursley arrived at the entrance of the hospital, they found that the hospital was deserted, and it was not as crowded as Fang Lang expected.

The arrival of the two did not attract the attention of hospital staff.

"Your Excellency, this is our only hospital in Natal, which was established by Dr. Basco Tapia, and has been developed for nearly thirty years to become what it is today."

Fang Lang carefully looked at the hospital in front of him, which was about the same size as the township hospital in his hometown in his previous life, consisting of four rows of bungalows forming a small courtyard.

There were four or five tall trees in the yard, and there were a few low shrubs here and there under them, which looked like they should have been well tended.

There was a bench under each big tree, and there were four or five men and women who looked like sick numbers on the stool, looking at Fang Lang and his party boredly.

Hearing Mayor Ewald Dursley's introduction, Fang Lang didn't say anything, just nodded and continued to walk inside.

After entering the hospital gate, on the left hand side is a registration fee office, in which a middle-aged white woman is sorting through the slips in her hand.

On the right-hand side is what looks like a pharmacy, but it is less than ten square meters, and a white man in his thirties is holding a book and reading.

Walking through the room, you will see a corridor on the left and right sides near the courtyard, and along the corridor you can see rooms with some people's names pasted on them, which seem to be the names of doctors.

But he couldn't see the name of the department, which made Fang Lang very surprised, didn't the current Natal Hospital even do it?

Along the way, Fang Lang counted a total of ten doctors' offices.

It seems that this is all the doctors in this hospital, no wonder there are not enough people to arrange for a physical examination in the first place.

Fortunately, although the conditions of this hospital are simple, the sanitary environment is very good.

Both the ground and the house were hardened with cement.

The back row of houses has more than ten rooms, each with three beds, and it seems that this is the inpatient department of the hospital.

There are thirty beds in total.

After the group had walked around the hospital, Mayor Ewald Dursley and Fang Lang knocked on the door of a room where the president's office hung.

A slightly old voice came from inside:

"Please come in!"

Mayor Ewald Dursley pushed open the door, went in and greeted him with a smile:

"It's been a long time since I've seen Dr. Basco Tapia."

Following the open door, Fang Lang saw that inside was a white old man in his sixties with gray hair.

The old man was not tall, with a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose that looked like a scholar.

"Mr. Mayor, is there anything wrong with you?"

The old man pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose and said.

Mayor Ewald Dursley waved his hand and said:

"Doctor Basco Tapia, I don't feel uncomfortable, today I mainly accompany General Fang to your side to have a look."

He said and got out of the way.

Fang Lang hurriedly stepped forward, nodded at the old man and said:

"Hello Dr. Basco Tapia, I'm Fang Lang!"

The old man looked Fang Lang up and down

Rear Road:

"Are you the Commander of the Naval Base?"

Fang Lang didn't expect that the other party had heard of him.

Hurriedly nodded with a smile and said:

"Yes, Dr. Basco Tapia, I am the Commander of Natal Naval Base."

After hearing Fang Lang's answer, the old man stood up directly from the stool and took the initiative to stretch out his right hand to shake hands with Fang Lang.

The mouth trembled a little:

"General Fang, thank you! Thank you for avenging my granddaughter.

If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to find the murderer of my granddaughter in my life."

These words stunned Fang Lang, and even Mayor Ewald Dursley, who was on the side, was confused.

Seeing the reaction of the two, Dr. Basco Tapia quickly explained:

"My granddaughter disappeared when he was 16 years old, and we called the police to find him.

It was only after a few months that the front general captured the Yakubu family that I learned from a policeman.

My granddaughter was also victimized by that old bastard of Yakubu.

O my poor granddaughter! I'm only sixteen years old!

That bastard who deserves to go to hell, how did he do it!"

As he spoke, the old man began to cry.

Fang Lang was a little at a loss for a while, and hurriedly comforted the old man with Mayor Ewald Dursley.

It took a long time for Dr. Basco Tapia to finally stop his excitement.

His voice trembled a little:

"General Fang, is there anything uncomfortable about you coming here today?"

It seems that the doctor's first reaction when he sees a person is to ask if there is something wrong with the body!

Fang Lang shook his head with a smile and said:

"Dr. Tapia, I came here today mainly to learn about the medical strength of our hospital, especially the ability to diagnose and treat infectious diseases.

Recently my medical officer told me that many of my men were infected with syphilis and gonorrhea.

This will have a very serious impact on the combat effectiveness of our troops.

Our troops have already begun to arrange for all people to undergo medical examinations and to concentrate on the treatment of all infected people.

However, the infected people outside must also be controlled and treated, and as the only hospital in Natal, I would like to come and find out about the situation."

As soon as he heard Fang Lang's words, Dr. Basco Tapia understood what Fang Lang meant.

Speak directly:

"General Fang is here for those sick girls!

Now, according to what I have learned, the number of infected girls is very high, but fortunately, the government has arranged for the girls to go to the hospital for regular check-ups, so we found out in a timely manner.

Therapy has been started for all the girls.

If the girls don't recover, we won't give them health certificates.

Please rest assured!"

When Fang Lang heard the other party's words, he always felt that something was wrong, what did you mean that I was here for the sick girls.

It's not my infection! Why is it so awkward to listen to your ears!

When I thought about it, I didn't care about these details, so I nodded and continued to ask:

"Are there any difficulties in treatment?"

Dr. Basco Tapia nodded:

"The best drug to treat these diseases right now is penicillin, but it's too expensive.

As a result, some girls simply cannot afford to pay for treatment.

You can only choose to use the old treatment regimen, which may take a little longer."

This is also normal, Fangyuan Group manufactures penicillin itself, so it is clear that there is no difficulty in the production of penicillin during the chemical synthesis period, and it is normal for the price to be high.

Fang Lang was not a saint, he couldn't have heard that some girls couldn't afford penicillin

Yes, penicillin is provided to these girls for free.

The doctors have said that with the old treatment plan, it can be cured in the same way, then there is no problem.

Of course, the soldiers use penicillin directly, after all, the cost of medicine is paid by the military expenditure of the Ministry of Defense, which is also business!

"Hmm! That's good.

Are there many people other than these girls?"

After all, it's not only the soldiers who take care of the girl's business, but also a lot of guests outside!

Dr. Basco Tapia thought for a moment before saying:

"As far as the situation stands, not many other people come to the hospital.

I guess it hasn't been paid attention to.

There may also be people who don't have the money to be cured."

Hearing this, Fang Lang hurriedly said to Mayor Ewald Dursley:

"That's not okay, it's easy to get re-infected.

Maybe we should educate everyone about the dangers of these diseases, so that these girls can learn to use safe measures.

Post some reminder notices in the entertainment street so that people can pay attention to it and seek medical treatment in time.

to avoid the further spread of the disease."

Mayor Ewald Dursley can now be said to be obedient to Fang Lang's words, after all, this is Mr. President's guest of honor, and he still has to be careful.

Hurriedly said:

"No problem, I asked the health department to put up notices on Entertainment Street to spread the dangers of these diseases and the early symptoms in the newspapers, so that more people can be detected and treated early."

These things were originally the work of government departments, and Fang Lang found out about the situation in the army and reported it to the government, even if he had completed his task.

He and Mayor Ewald Dursley had come to visit the hospital today, not just to investigate the spread of the disease outside and to investigate the treatment of the spread of the disease.

The more important purpose was to investigate the medical market and see after the establishment of a military hospital in Natal.

Is there room for other hospitals to survive?

If it is not suitable, when Lilith graduates, she will have to consider whether to let her work in a military hospital or find another place to build a hospital.

"Dr. Basco Tapia, Mr. Mayor told me that you are the only hospital in Natal, but when I first came in, I found that there didn't seem to be many patients, why is that?"

In Fang Lang's cognition, the hospital has never been short of patients, but today he did not see a few patients in Tapia Hospital.

Even if Natal is only a small city with a population of less than 200,000, there should not be only such a small number of patients!

Could it be that the native Brazilians believe that witch doctors do not work?

If this is the case, you will have to consider whether it is necessary for you to let the military hospital open for business.

It's not that I'm afraid of competing with Tapia Hospital for patients, but that such a small number of disease sources are simply not enough to support the development of a large hospital.

After listening to Fang Lang's words, Doctor Basco Tapia glanced at Fang Lang with a strange expression and said:

"General Fang, it takes a lot of money to go to the hospital to see a doctor.

Our hospital has been open in Natal for 30 years.

At first, it was just my own private clinic, and the scale has never been large, and the people who can come to the hospital to see a doctor are all dignitaries.

Even in the first two years of opening, not a single non-Caucasian patient has come to see my clinic.

In recent years, after everyone's economic conditions have improved, the number of patients who can come to the hospital to see a doctor has gradually increased.

My hospital was expanded to its current size four years ago!"

Such an answer is reasonable and unexpected.

"Where will the other people go to heal when they are sick?"
