Chapter 368 Rural Medical Construction

After the operation on the child, Lu Cheng did not leave, but stayed in the hospital. After the anesthetic wore off, Lu Cheng prepared two more bottles of IV drips and asked the nurse to give the child an injection.

After making sure that the child's life was saved, the child's father immediately knelt down in front of Lu Cheng and said, "Doctor, thank you, thank you!"

"Okay, get up quickly. This is what we doctors should do."

The three doctors on the side were completely impressed by Lu Cheng's medical skills at this moment. After the child's condition stabilized, they sat aside and asked Lu Cheng some medical questions, and Lu Cheng answered them one by one.

Three hours after the operation, the child's condition had completely stabilized and he fell into a deep sleep.

Lu Cheng glanced at the child's father and knew that this family must be very poor, but the child had just undergone surgery and needed additional nutrition to recover.

Afterwards, Lu Cheng went out for a walk and came back with ten kilograms of millet and two kilograms of eggs.

"The child just had surgery and is a little malnourished. Starting tomorrow, cook some millet porridge for the child, and add a poached egg the day after tomorrow."

The child's father looked at the thing in Lu Cheng's hand, but was a little afraid to take it: "Doctor, I... I don't have any money."

"I don't want your money, I bought this for my child."

"Doctor, I'll kowtow to you a few more times."

Lu Cheng quickly grabbed the child's father and said, "No, if you kowtow again, my life will be shortened. I happened to come to the commune today, and this child was sent here by chance. This shows that I have a connection with this child. It is my duty to save her. Don't think too much. Taking good care of the child is the most important thing.

By the way, you said earlier that there were other children who also ate roasted rats. How are they doing? Are there any who are vomiting or having diarrhea?"

"Yes, two children vomited, but it didn't look that serious."

Lu Cheng nodded, then looked at Doctor Wang and said, "Doctor Wang, can you lend me your bicycle? I'll take some medicine and go to the village."

"No problem, I'll go with you."

Another young doctor at the side immediately stepped forward and said, "Doctor Wang, you are the best in our hospital. You should stay here. I will take Doctor Lu to the countryside. Besides, I have been to that village before and I am familiar with the road."

"Okay, be careful on the road."

Afterwards, Lu Cheng and the young doctor Xiao Li rode their bicycles and went to the countryside, carrying their medicine boxes.

After arriving at the village and asking the villagers for information, Lu Cheng and his companions went directly to the homes of the two children and checked on them.

The other two who ate the roasted field mouse were both boys. They were stronger and their symptoms were relatively mild, but they also suffered from vomiting and diarrhea for a while and are now lying at home.

These days, many families are so poor that they can barely make ends meet and have no money to see a doctor. If they are sick, they can only endure it. Minor illnesses can be endured, but any slightly more serious illness may kill the person directly.

Lu Cheng immediately prescribed medicine for the two children, watched them take it, and then left.

It was already evening when we returned to the commune.

The little girl who was rescued earlier has woken up at this time.

After seeing Lu Cheng, the little girl weakly called out "Uncle".

Lu Cheng showed a gentle smile and touched the little girl's head: "Don't eat anything carelessly in the future."

The little girl nodded and stretched out her hand to touch Lu Cheng's face, but she couldn't reach it because her arms were too short.

Lu Cheng lowered his head on his own initiative, and did not mind the dust on the girl's hands, allowing the girl to touch his face.

"Uncle, when I grow up, I want to be a doctor."

"Then you must study hard."

"Uncle, may I know your name?"

"Of course, my uncle's name is Lu Cheng, Lu for land, Cheng for honesty."

After chatting with the little girl for a while, Lu Cheng left and went to another room, where he sat down and talked with the three doctors.

"Doctor Wang, this situation shouldn't be uncommon today, right?"

"That's right. Every year when there's a shortage of food, villagers have to look for food everywhere. Sometimes, it's inevitable that some children will eat something they shouldn't, and by the time they're sent to our clinic, it's already too late. To be honest, we've seen this happen a lot."

In the original drama, there was a child named Hanwa in Shichuan Village where Zhong Yuemin lived. He also had severe stomachache after eating roasted rat. Zhong Yuemin ran more than 30 miles carrying the child, but it was too late to send him to the health center.

"Doctor Wang, Doctor Liu, I have an idea. Do you think it will work? Aren't there educated youth who have been sent to the countryside in every village? These educated youth have a certain level of education, and many of them have graduated from high school.

We might as well discuss with the commune leaders and organize a training class in our commune health center. We can select one or two educated youth from each village and have them come to the training class to learn some basic medical knowledge and knowledge on disease prevention.

Firstly, it can popularize some medical knowledge to the people, so that they don't eat anything carelessly. Secondly, these trained doctors can also treat some diseases such as headaches, fever and colds, so that the villagers don't have to travel a long way to the commune health center to see a doctor.

Do you think this idea will work?"

"I think it's feasible. I read in the newspaper some time ago that some people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are organizing this barefoot doctor training class. However, others are all starting at the county level, and I'm afraid our commune doesn't have the ability to do so. Moreover, there are only three doctors in our health center, and our energy and level are limited."

"Then talk to the commune leaders first, and then let them report to the county."

"No problem. I'll go talk to the commune leaders about this tomorrow morning."

After the few people agreed, Lu Cheng wrote down some of his ideas and left them to Dr. Wang for reference.

After finishing all this, Doctor Wang saw that it was getting late, so he said, "Lu Cheng, it's getting late, why don't you stay for dinner tonight, stay overnight, and go back tomorrow."

"Doctor Wang, I appreciate your kindness. But if I don't go back tonight, my classmates will be worried."

"Well, you can ride my bike back first. When you are free in the next two days, you can bring it back to me. Anyway, I'm basically staying in the hospital during this period, so I can't use the bike for the time being."

"Then I won't be polite."

When Lu Cheng rode his bicycle back to Baidian Village, it was already completely dark. Li Kuiyong, Qin Ling and others were still waiting for Lu Cheng to come back for dinner.

As soon as they met, everyone hurriedly asked Lu Cheng why he came back so late. Lu Cheng briefly told them what happened today, then went back to the house and started writing and drawing on paper, preparing to write a letter to the county leaders to raise the issue of the barefoot doctor training class.

In fact, as early as last year, Shanghai’s Wenhui Magazine reported on the deeds of two rural doctors serving at the grassroots level, and the term “barefoot doctor” began to spread.

This year, the authorities have begun organizing doctors to compile the "Barefoot Doctor Manual", and by next year this "Barefoot Doctor Manual" will be thoroughly circulated.

In "Ordinary World", Lu Cheng had worked as a barefoot doctor for many years, received training, and had extremely rich experience in rural medical work.

Therefore, Lu Cheng also directly combined some experience and put forward many suggestions for setting up a barefoot doctor training class.

Rather than a letter, it is more like a feasibility report on barefoot doctor training.
