While Chen Qi and the others were busy at the free clinic, suddenly there was a noise from the crowd:

"Give way, give way, hurry up, people are going to die here, let's get in line."

I saw a few young people carrying a patient on a bamboo recliner and hurried over, their faces full of anxiety.

Teacher Fang was the first to rush forward: "What's wrong? What's going on?"

"Doctor, please help me check on my elder brother. He suddenly complained of stomachache today. The pain is unbearable. We think it is appendicitis. Don't you have a doctor from the People's Hospital here? I would like to help you check it out."

"Appendicitis?"

People around him became anxious upon hearing this. Appendicitis is also called "carbuncle" in the mountains. It is a terminal disease. They heard that doctors in the city can perform surgery to save their lives.

The problem is that people in the mountains do not have such conditions. If you wait for appendicitis, you can only wait to die, and you will die in pain.

Everyone expressed sympathy for the man on the bamboo lounge chair:

"It's pitiful that you are going to die at such a young age."

"This seems to be Fu Dagen from the Lingxia Brigade. He is a good hand at work. I didn't expect to have such a disease."

"Don't argue, don't argue. Maybe the doctors at the People's Hospital have a solution."

When Chen Qi heard that he had appendicitis, he felt no longer anxious. He was involved in this disease, so how could he let the patient die? Isn't making an appendix as simple as killing a chicken?

When he came up to meet him, several mountain people suddenly knelt down:

"Doctor, please save my brother. My brother is still young. He has four children who are still underage. If he dies, the whole family will not be able to survive."

This kneeling startled everyone, and even the intern doctors at the free clinic stopped what they were doing and gathered around.

Chen Qi grabbed him:

"Don't kneel down, don't kneel down. It's a new era now. We don't want to be like the old society. We want everyone to be equal. We have something to talk about and a disease to be cured. Come on, let me check it out first."

The patient was lying there moaning all the time, and his facial expression was a little restless. He had to vomit from time to time, and continued to moan after vomiting.

The matter was urgent, so Chen Qi didn't waste any time. He opened his clothes and started palpating with his hands.

The doctor at the commune health center nearby was anxious: "Dr. Chen, our health center can't perform appendix surgery. What should we do?"

Chen Qi's face had darkened at this time. After touching for a long time, he looked at several other classmates:

"Come and have a palpation to see what kind of disease this is?"

Wang Shinong, Lan Lijuan and others are all quite surprised. What is so easy to palpate for a simple appendicitis? Isn’t this a basic operation?

But the squad leader said there must be something fishy, ​​so everyone stretched out their hands and pressed on the patient's abdominal pain. As soon as he pressed, everyone frowned.

Chen Qi then said to several doctors at the health center: "You should also come and do a palpation. This is a rare opportunity to see if it is appendicitis."

Ding Bitao asked in a low voice:

"Second brother, this patient has no tenderness at McFarland's point, but there is obvious tenderness and rebound tenderness in the midsection. Moreover, I seem to feel a hard penis. This does not look like appendicitis."

Wang Shanong also agreed:

"Although appendicitis can also cause periumbilical pain, it is impossible for there to be no pain at all in the right lower abdomen, and the pain is very strange. Could there be a problem in the intestines?"

Everyone started to discuss it. The family members next to them were very anxious, but they did not dare to rush. They looked at several senior doctors from the People's Hospital eagerly.

Chen Qi looked at the anxious family members and asked, "Did your eldest brother have a bowel movement or fart today?"

The family members didn’t know either, and they all looked at the patient.

Fu Dagen, who was groaning in pain, could no longer say anything. He just shook it with his hand to show that he had no bowel movement or fart.

Everyone is studying medicine, and they immediately reacted: "Is this intestinal obstruction?!"

The family members were confused, "What is intestinal obstruction?"

The doctor at the nearby commune health center became even more anxious when he heard this: "Ah, intestinal obstruction means that the intestines are blocked. This disease is fatal. It is more serious than appendicitis. You are definitely dead!"

Boom~~~~

As soon as it was said that the intestines were stuffed tightly, the surrounding people became anxious:

"Oh, my intestines are blocked and I can't pass stool. There are too many people suffering from this disease in difficult times, and no one can survive."

"Yes, yes, many people died from this disease in our village in those years."

During difficult times, people ate tree bark and grass roots, including Guanyin soil. Most of them died not of malnutrition, but because the food they ate could not be digested and caused intestinal obstruction, and finally the living piston died.

People in the mountains who have experienced that era have vivid memories, and they have all seen it with their own eyes and understand the dangers of this disease.

When the family members heard this, they all sat down on the ground, and the few women and children who followed behind began to cry loudly. For a while, the crying was louder than a loudspeaker.

The commune cadres also sighed and regretted, shaking their heads one by one because they couldn't bear it.

Lan Lijuan quietly touched Chen Qi's arm:

"Squad leader, intestinal obstruction can be treated at the People's Hospital. Do you want them to send it there quickly?"

Chen Qi shook his head:

"It's too late to get to the city. We took an ox cart on Henglu to Pingshui, and then took a bus from Pingshui to the city. There wouldn't be a day before we could reach the city. Think about the road we took when we came here. It was bumpy all the way and you couldn't bear it. I'm afraid the patient

I can’t hold on any longer.”

Intestinal obstruction is an emergency operation and requires immediate surgery. There are no roads in the mountains. People sitting in bullock carts are staggering around. It is estimated that they will die.

Moreover, after an operation, plus hospitalization fees, the expenses are beyond the reach of mountain people. The lack of money is the biggest reason why mountain people do not go to the city to see a doctor.

When the little girl heard this, she felt unwilling: "What should we do? Are we just going to watch him die?"

Chen Qi rolled his eyes at her: "You have forgotten that we are the best partners, and a small intestinal obstruction is not a problem."

Lan Lijuan didn't understand what she meant and looked at Chen Qi with her eyes wide open.

I saw Chen Qi walking up in one step,

"Okay, stop howling. Even though the intestinal obstruction is serious, we are here. Comrades from the health center, do us a favor. Go and make a clean room right away. Remember to disinfect it thoroughly."

Everyone looked over in astonishment. The doctors at the health center all doubted their ears:

"Dr. Chen, are you saying that you want to do this intestinal obstruction surgery?"

"How is this possible? We don't have an operating room, we don't have any equipment, we don't have instruments or medicines, we don't even have an anesthesiologist, how can we do this operation?"

Chen Qi picked up his big backpack and took out several sterile bags:
Chapter completed!
