As the earth warms up, the spring colors are becoming more and more intense in the vast fields.

In late February, in the increasingly warm south, it is time for spring plowing.

Spring plowing and production have always connected farmers' harvests and the dining tables of thousands of households. It requires the whole county to go all out and prepare carefully.

At this critical time, in order to protect the health of the people, we must devote ourselves to spring plowing and production.

Major counties in Jiangsu Province have launched activities such as "spring plowing in the ridges and medicines sent to the countryside".

Binhai County, Caiqiao Town, Duke Village.

Lao Yang walked out of his farm carrying a handful of weeds, squatted on the roadside and wiped the dirt off his shoes.

He has been busy preparing for spring plowing during this period. He first went to the county's agricultural supplies store to buy new super soybean seeds, and purchased a batch of organic fertilizer. Then he plowed and leveled the land for several days. Today, he also plowed the surrounding areas. The weeds were removed before all the work was completed.

Although he was very tired, he still paid attention. He straightened his clothes, patted the dust off, and then walked towards the village committee.

Along the way, I also met a few acquaintances from the village. I said hello and walked together.

"Old man Yang, your soybean harvest was so good last year, do you still continue to plant it?"

An old man in his fifties, smoking a cigarette, with a dark face and a red face, asked him.

Old Yang nodded. He didn't like to talk much, and said with a dull expression: "Plant, and keep planting when the harvest is good."

The old man asked other people.

"Old man Liu, I remember you don't have much land. What do you plant?"

"I grew some peanuts, and they taste great. My grandson likes them. They say they are much sweeter than the peanuts in the city, so I don't sell them. I use half of them to squeeze oil, and I keep the rest for my own people. .If you like it, go to my place and get some?"

Old Liu Tou was obviously very good at talking, and he talked very comfortably at the top of his lungs.

"It seems that these peanuts have been genetically modified to prevent the growth of certain bacteria. Anyway, I don't remember them. I just know that they are delicious and easy to store. I just use the land to grow rice. The peanuts and vegetables can be eaten by myself. "

"Haha, Old Man Liu, your son is promising and has made a lot of money in the city. Naturally, he doesn't care about the acres of land at home."

"How can I compare with you? You contracted the hilltop in the village, and the fruit you grew is said to be sweet and delicious, and it sells very well. And you, the fish in the fish pond don't seem to have thorns, which is strange. I’ve never seen this stuff before.”

"Haha, I bought a few strips during the Chinese New Year. Although they were a bit expensive, they were really delicious and had no thorns. My daughter couldn't bear to go back after eating them."

"No, I think our economy is okay. Everyone likes to eat fresh and good things, so I bought some genetically modified fish fry. They don't have fish bones and are very delicious. I raised a batch to try them out. I didn't expect them to sell well. It’s very prosperous and it looks like it can continue this year.”

A few old men chatted animatedly and soon strolled to the village committee.

I saw a red banner hanging on the gate with the words "Binhai County People's Hospital carries out spring plowing to help farmers and medicine to the countryside".

There was a row of tables and chairs set up against the wall in the small courtyard. Seven or eight doctors in white coats were sitting there, carefully examining the old man sitting opposite.

There were villagers all around, hundreds of them, all familiar faces in the village, old and young, lining up seriously.

The entire scene was noisy but not chaotic, with a hint of order amid the bustle, filled with laughter and warmth like the spring breeze.

"Hey, look, that's Dr. Xue from the town health center. He looks so young compared to several other experts."

A smile appeared on Lao Yang's dull face. He talked to his old companions and pointed out Xue Chao, who was sitting upright among a group of angels in white.

"Hurry up and line up. Which doctor are you waiting in line for?" someone asked.

"It's a physical examination anyway. There's no difference. Just pick one. I'll choose Dr. Xue. I'm an acquaintance and easy to talk to."

Lao Yangtou squeezed into the crowd and lined up.

"I chose this doctor. He looks older and must be experienced."

"This doctor has an upright face and looks reliable. I choose him."

Others also chose good doctors.

"Old people, the best way to stay healthy is to eat less greasy food, eat more vegetables and fruits, exercise moderately, have a calm mind, and get more rest."

While Xue Chao was promoting health knowledge to the old man who came to the free clinic, he turned on the blood pressure monitor and prepared to measure his blood pressure.

Unexpectedly, the other party shook his head and stretched out his hand, revealing the sports bracelet on his wrist.

"Dr. Xue, my son came back during the Spring Festival this year and gave me a watch. He said it can measure blood pressure and heartbeat. I don't understand. Do you think this thing is useful? If not, I will educate him. , tell him not to spend money randomly."

Xue Chao suddenly laughed and said: "Uncle, you are quite fashionable. Sports bracelets are very popular in the city now. People of all ages and genders wear them. When your children buy you things, it is also a sign of filial piety and concern for your health. That’s a good thing.”

While checking the health data on the bracelet, he nodded and said: "This uses the ECG monitoring function of Sanqing. I remember that your heart is not very good, so this bracelet must be useful for you. It can be used 24 hours a day." Monitor cardiac status and sound an alert if there is a problem.”

"But the blood pressure is not very accurate. It's here now, so let's take a blood pressure measurement."

Xue Chao couldn't help but put the blood pressure monitor strap on the old man's arm. He squeezed the air bag for a while before he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The blood pressure is a bit high. It's best to take some medicine to prevent and treat high blood pressure. I'll give it to you." Make a prescription."

The old man looked embarrassed: "That's too bad, I don't have medical insurance."

Xue Chao smiled: "It's okay. Experts from the county hospital and the town health center are here this time. In addition to checking your health, they also distribute free medicines. You can just take my prescription and go to the room at the door to get the medicine. .”

"By the way, this medicine is not a prescription drug. Your son can also buy it through medical insurance from prescriptions in the city, and you don't have to pay for it."

The old man was immediately overjoyed: "That's great."

The doctors are busy and orderly working, measuring blood pressure, blood sugar, checking for gastrointestinal diseases, etc.

Soon it was Lao Yangtou's turn. He sat in front of Xue Chao and forced a smile.

"Dr. Xue, it's me."

Xue Chao showed an amiable smile: "Hello, Uncle Yang, we met years ago. I think you are in good condition. Are you feeling well recently?"

After saying that, he stretched out his hand in a familiar manner: "How about I take your blood pressure first?"

Old Yang shook his head, with a trace of sadness on his face, and said: "Dr. Xue, I have something to ask you for help. My youngest son lost a finger while working outside and cannot put it back. When he comes back from the Spring Festival, I have been resting at home, thinking about whether I can apply for a disability certificate and get some money every year."

"Is that so?" Xue Chao's face became serious and he asked, "There are also requirements for applying for this disability certificate. Can I ask which finger is missing?"

Old Yang suddenly became anxious: "It seems that his thumb is gone. He can't hold things now. If this is not a disability, then how can it be considered a disability?"

"Don't worry, listen to me first." Xue Chao comforted: "The standards for the second-generation disability certificate are very clear. Finger disability must be the absence of a thumb on one hand, or all four fingers except the thumb are missing. Apply for a disability certificate. If your son is missing a thumb, he must meet the application standards."

"Oh, as long as it can be done." Old Yangtou breathed a sigh of relief: "By the way, how much money can I get after applying for a disability certificate?"

Xue Chao recalled it for a while and said with some uncertainty: "It's about five or six thousand yuan a year. In addition, you can take buses for free, there are subsidies for children's schooling, and there is 800 yuan of medical assistance for serious illnesses every year. This is not much, just It’s enough to buy some basic medicines, but if the disabled have any serious illness, they can apply for Sanqing’s charity fund, and their free medicines can basically cover it.”

A smile finally appeared on Lao Yangtou's face and he said, "That's good. I'll call that guy later and ask him to come over and take care of it."

"By the way, if it's so serious, will the boss pay for it?" Xue Chao asked.

Old Yang nodded: "A grade eight work-related injury cost more than 200,000 yuan. I thought that after I let him feel better, I could use the money to go to the county to do a small business with my wife and find a way out. "

"That's okay," Xue Chao continued to explain: "There are many preferential policies after applying for this disability certificate. If your son starts a small business in the future, he can be exempted from a lot of taxes, such as value-added tax, business tax and so on. A certain amount can be exempted. , in the future, the registration fee will be waived when you come to our health center for treatment, and part of the surgical and medical fees will be waived when you go to the county hospital."

As Old Yang listened, his frown finally relaxed.

"I've been talking for a long time, let me do a physical examination on you too."

"Okay, the color Doppler ultrasound you got last time, everyone said it looked good. This time it's my turn."

"Haha, portable color ultrasound is really rare. There were too many people last time and the examination couldn't be done. This time all the doctors have brought them, and they will definitely be able to give you all a full body examination."

As Xue Chao spoke, he quickly auscultated Lao Yangtou and measured his blood pressure and blood sugar.

Then they took him to a small room next to him, asked him to lie on the sofa, and used a portable color ultrasound to examine his whole body.

"It's rare for you to have such good cardiopulmonary function at your age. Other internal organs are also fine. There are a few minor problems, but they're not major problems."

He looked at it with surprised eyes.

Old Yangtou smiled sheepishly: "I have been doing farm work all day long, and my health is in good shape. The old lady at home is in better health than me."

"Wait a minute, there seems to be something wrong with the liver," Xue Chao's expression changed and he stopped the color Doppler ultrasound machine on his upper abdomen.

He pointed to the picture on the screen and said to Lao Yangtou: "Look, this is your liver. The edge is blunt and it looks a little swollen."

Old Yang was confused: "Ah, isn't that the normal liver?"

"No," Xue Chao shook his head: "If you think about it, when you usually buy pork liver, the edges of fresh pork liver are very thin and sharp, and the whole is very smooth."

Lao Yangtou suddenly understood. He took a closer look at his liver on the screen, slapped his thigh suddenly, and exclaimed: "Oh no, is my liver broken?"

Xue Chao shook his head again: "Fortunately, there may be some inflammation, so the liver cells are swollen and the entire liver is too full. The texture looks like ground glass and uneven."

"It may be chronic hepatitis. Fortunately, liver cell necrosis did not occur. Otherwise, there would be many hyperplasia nodules in the picture."

"By the way, I heard that you always like to drink a little wine. Drink less in the future. Drinking is not good for your liver."

Old Yangtou was shocked: "Did I get hepatitis from drinking?"

"There is a certain reason. I was initially diagnosed with alcoholic hepatitis. Fortunately, it is relatively early and not too serious. I can save it by quitting drinking and taking some medicine. If it continues, cirrhosis of the liver is likely to occur. , and even liver cancer, so we must pay attention to it.”

Xue Chaochunchun warned: "In fact, even a small amount of drinking will have adverse effects on the body over time, so it is recommended to avoid drinking and maintain a healthy lifestyle. If you cannot control your alcohol addiction, do not drink for a long time. Just take a sip once in a while."

"If you really want to drink, buy some Sanqing hangover medicine and take one or two pills after drinking. This is a health medicine that can relieve hangover. It is not burdensome on the body and can avoid damage to the liver."

Old Yangtou nodded repeatedly, and after a while he said fearfully: "I know that drinking is not good, and I have already drank less. I didn't expect that I would get hepatitis. I will ask my son to buy me this hangover medicine later. It's from Sanqing, right?" , let him not buy the wrong one.”

Xue Chao wrote a prescription for him and joked: "Okay, take the prescription and go outside to get the medicine. Except for the hepatitis, everything else is healthy. Uncle, your farm work seems to be the way to live longer. The more you work, the healthier you will be." The better.”

Old Yangtou took the prescription and left, with a proud look on his face when he left: "That's not true. I went to the city to stay, and my body was exhausted in a few days, so I still have to do farm work, so that my body is healthy and there is no problem."

For a whole day, the doctors, like Xue Chao, carefully diagnosed the villagers' conditions, prescribed prescriptions, and enthusiastically explained the relevant knowledge of disease prevention to the patients.

For patients who cannot be diagnosed and treated on site, they will also provide medical guidance and recommend that patients go to the county to find an expert for further treatment.

As time goes by, everyone has received high-quality door-to-door services, and no longer have to worry about illness delaying the farming season.

At the same time, they also received public health knowledge and understood that when they are sick, they must seek medical treatment scientifically and cannot delay treatment to avoid delaying treatment.

At the end of the day's activities, the statistics came out.

On that day, one person received a disability certificate, received 78 health knowledge consultations, and distributed about 10,000 yuan worth of medicine for free.

“This event is a microcosm of Binhai County’s efforts to bring medicine to the countryside to protect people’s health and spring plowing production.”

“Through free clinics and door-to-door certificate application services, medical care has been brought to the hearts of the people, effectively solving the problems of difficulty, distance and expensive medical treatment for the masses. It further deepens the relationship between medical staff and villagers, and also provides high-quality medical and health services. Lay a solid foundation for development.”

“During this event, our hospital found that the portable color ultrasound issued by the province played a very important role. Many patients had some health risks detected during the whole-body color ultrasound examination and received corresponding treatment in advance. "

"Because the detection accuracy is quite high, some malignant diseases have also been diagnosed at an early stage, gaining the attention of patients and enabling early treatment, which is very important for rural primary hospitals."

"We hope that this device can be spread to every township health center as soon as possible, especially in some remote mountainous areas, so that doctors can go into residents' homes to conduct home health examinations, disease screenings, and preliminary diagnoses."

The county hospital quickly compiled the activity data of the villages and towns under its jurisdiction and discovered a surprising fact.

Sanqing's portable color ultrasound played a crucial role in this event.

As a whole-body diagnostic equipment, this color ultrasound has powerful functions, clear images, and is very portable. It can go anywhere in the mountains and fields, and can do anything.

Especially when compared with the last event, it can be clearly seen that with this color ultrasound, some hidden diseases of the elderly have been discovered.

The person in charge of the county hospital immediately cheered up and reported it quickly.

If it's just a county hospital that strongly recommends portable color ultrasound, it's nothing.

However, during this spring plowing, the "medicine to the countryside" campaign was not launched in one county, but in 95 counties and more than 700 towns across the province.

The data does not lie. With the participation of portable color ultrasound this time, there are indeed many more elderly people diagnosed with hidden diseases than in previous years.

In the past, when doctors went to the countryside for physical examinations, they could only measure blood pressure, test blood sugar, and do a physical examination.

Although there are also notebook-type portable color ultrasounds, grassroots hospitals can only get so many good color ultrasound equipment.

Although the portable color ultrasound they used in the past costs tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, they are basically two-dimensional or three-dimensional images.

Not only is the image not clear enough, but the frequency band of the main ultrasound wave is not high, so it cannot penetrate deeply into the tissues of the body, and naturally it cannot find some subtle lesions hidden deep in the body.

Even so, the deployment rate of portable color ultrasound in some relatively poor grassroots hospitals is still low.

Jiangsu Province is relatively wealthy and can probably cover more than half of the country with portable color ultrasound. In most provinces across the country, primary hospitals only have 0.25 units, which means only four hospitals have one portable color ultrasound.

Such a large gap not only affects the development of primary medical institutions in poor areas, but also hinders the improvement of primary health service capabilities.

Before long, the work reports of all county hospitals were summarized on the desk of the Provincial Health Commission.

Several leaders of the National Health Commission were shocked when they saw this shocking data.

They naturally know that Sanqing's portable color ultrasound is powerful and cheap, making it a cost-effective choice.

The original purchase for grassroots hospitals was based on cost-effectiveness. While ensuring basic functions, it could also save one-third of the funds.

The original intention was to save money, but I didn't expect that such an unintentional move would unleash a ferocious beast.

"It's incredible, it's incredible! Our primary medical services in Jiangsu Province have made a qualitative leap because of a small portable color ultrasound."

A middle-aged man pounded the table excitedly and said with joy.

"Haha," another person also laughed happily: "This year's spring plowing and medical field activities will be held in the countryside. Can our province's performance be inferior to that of other brother provinces?"

"It's really unintentional. It seems that this year's procurement must be stepped up and every town health center and village health center must be equipped with a three-clear portable color ultrasound."

"That's right. From now on, the county will only provide desktop color ultrasound. Towns and villages will only use portable color ultrasound. It is fully functional and cheap. In the long run, it will actually save money."

"This equipment is easy to get, but where are there so many rural general practitioners who can understand ultrasound?"

"Aren't there not enough medical students in our province? We should encourage more medical students to go to the countryside to find jobs and improve their salaries, so that we can retain talents and ensure the level of medical care at the grassroots level."

"This can be done, but the policy needs to be tilted a bit. Anyway, the province has money."

"Okay, hurry up and send the report to the top, and wait for the national announcement to praise you."

"Hahaha~"

A burst of hearty laughter suddenly rang out, and the office was filled with cheerful air.
