Tao Le was stunned for a moment. She suddenly understood the meaning of this sentence.

It turned out that Doctor Wei had a kind intention when he asked them to follow him to conduct household surveys.

It's just that he said it so harshly, no wonder... he couldn't get a wife.

"Are the Huang family members here?" Doctor Wei stood outside the fence and shouted in one breath.

"Here, there!" As soon as the door to the inner room opened, a middle-aged woman ran out and opened the fence door for them: "It's Doctor Wei, please come in!"

She looked at Tao Le again: "This is..."

"That's the doctor from the First City Hospital who came for a free clinic today!" Dr. Wei said.

Seeing the suspicion and distrust on the woman's face, he decisively added:

"Free medicine, no charge!"

"Ah, ah! That's great! Come in, come in!" The woman immediately became enthusiastic and let the two of them in.

Tao Le couldn't laugh or cry in his heart. I'm sorry to say that Dr. Wei has selfish motives and regards himself not only as an investigator who visits every house, but also as a philanthropic boy who delivers medicine door-to-door.

I just don’t know, this woman is obviously good, why don’t you go to the small square in front of the village and line up to see it in person?

As soon as she walked into the house, she smelled something.

She had smelled this smell before, but never as clearly as now. The smell of blood and faint decay was so strong that it was suffocating.

It seems that the people in this room are the real patients.

Lifting up the curtain, Tao Le saw a half-year-old child, lying on the bed with a crimson face and unconscious face. His expression was a little strange, and he seemed to have a wry smile.

Doctor Wei didn't need to say anything, Tao Le immediately rushed to the bed, stretched out his hand and found that the child had a fever, and the temperature was not low.

Her eyes fell on the outside of the child's calf resting on the edge of the bed. There was an irregular wound two fingers wide, with red and swollen surroundings and a dark red color.

Doctor Wei was more surprised than she was: "Isn't it fine yesterday? Why did the wound suddenly become infected?"

"After you changed the medicine and left yesterday, Shanzi said he was fine, and even limped down the stream to catch two fish—that's what happened this morning."

"Oh, I didn't say I wouldn't let him see the water. Now it's troublesome." Doctor Wei sighed and put down the medicine box on his body.

"I went to the infirmary to look for you in the morning, and I found out that you were going to pick up the doctors from the big hospital. Since there are so many doctors in the village, can this minor injury be a big deal?"

"Huang family, you are so big-hearted." Doctor Wei did not argue with her, but turned to ask Tao Le:

"Did you bring your anti-inflammatories?"

"I brought penicillin, cephalosporin, oral and injection." Tao Le looked at the wound on the boy's leg: "Is this... an insertion injury?"

"I rolled down the hillside behind and got a dead branch stuck in my leg." Doctor Wei shook his head: "This happened three days ago. I performed debridement and disinfection and told him to take good care of himself and not move. but......"

"It's swollen like this and I have a high fever. I have to have an incision and drainage," Tao Le said.

Before Doctor Wei could say anything, the woman yelled: "What? You, a girl, want to put a knife on my son's leg? That's not okay!"

"Why don't you treat the inflammation first?" Doctor Wei advised Tao Le hesitantly. He knew very well what the people in this village thought.

It's not that women can't go out to work, but for something as important as treating illnesses and saving lives, only men can be relied upon.

The children in this mountain village are very strong-skinned. Generally, they don’t take injuries seriously. Otherwise, they can’t go fishing with their injured legs.

Tao Le Tao Le stretched out her hand to feel the child's pulse, her expression was solemn.

"I'm afraid this won't work. The wound has become infected and swollen, not to mention sepsis, and it's also possible..."

The probability of her swallowing it is really high.

Even if the golden finger upgrade can't be used yet, she can still figure it out. This half-grown child has a very strong pulse.

Counting the string strength means that when the person's pulse is pressed, it is like pressing a taut string on a piano. It beats strongly and rapidly, which indicates the excessive heat evil and the internal movement of liver wind.

Such a serious trauma, such a pulse condition, coupled with the dark red swelling at the wound, and the unnatural forced smile, reminded Tao Le of several similar cases he had experienced in his previous life.

If that's the case, then the problem is serious.

Thinking of this, she came to the child, pinched his chin, and tried to get him to open his mouth.

The woman was very dissatisfied when she saw this: "What are you doing? Why are you pinching my son's mouth?"

She rushed over and tried to pull Tao Le over, but was stopped by Doctor Wei.

"Wait a moment, I'm here to treat your son."

"Dr. Wei, what are you talking about? What can she know as a girl, and how can she treat a doctor like this?"

"Don't worry, Huang family. If you don't believe her, you still don't believe me?" Dr. Wei comforted her.

He himself was actually quite surprised that the female doctor who came with him turned out to be a traditional Chinese medicine doctor.

Judging from the way he took the pulse, he looked a bit like an old doctor.

Thinking about it, no matter how good he is, he is still a college student who has gone through systematic and comprehensive studies at a medical university. Regardless of whether he studies Chinese medicine or Western medicine, he is much better than himself.

At this time Tao Le also put down his hand. Because even though the boy was in a coma, his facial muscles were so tense that he could not open his jaw.

The disease she was worried about, even if no other tests were needed, was already confirmed.

Tao Le turned around suddenly: "Doctor Wei, did he get a tetanus shot after he was injured?"

"There is no tetanus antitoxin in the village clinic." Doctor Wei also saw Tao Le pulling the boy's mouth, and he had the same suspicion.

"If you want to be treated, go to the township hospital. I have suggested it, but..." He looked at the woman helplessly.

The boy's mother, who is from the Huang family, said: "It's too troublesome to go to the rural health center, and Shanzi's legs can't walk down the mountain. Besides, no one in this village has ever heard of anyone who didn't grow up with tetanus. ——There’s no need to scare people like this.”

"But your son is most likely to have tetanus now." Tao Le said seriously: "If he is not treated immediately, his life will be lost."

"How is it possible! Shan Zi is the strongest. If he gets sick, he will recover in a few days. I don't believe it!" Although the woman spoke harshly, her expression was obviously panicked. As she spoke, she looked at Dr. Wei.

Doctor Wei nodded with a serious look on his face: "This is the doctor sent by our Yun City First Hospital. Her level is many times higher than mine. You have to listen to what she says."

"Then treat him quickly! Lao Huang left early. I only have a son like Shanzi. Nothing can happen to him!" The woman who came to her senses immediately softened her attitude and began to cry worriedly.

Dr. Wei's public health science popularization efforts over the years were not in vain. At least the Huang family knew that tetanus can kill people.

She just knew that Gui Gui knew, but she was still full of luck, thinking that her child would not be able to make it, so it was embarrassing for her to take her child to get an injection.

Domestic tetanus vaccine costs 20 yuan per injection, plus the round trip fare, it costs 30 yuan anyway.

Although prices in big cities have skyrocketed and you can't even afford a decent dish for 30 yuan, in Tianqiao Village, the money is still well spent.

He was so close to buying this child's life.

Tao Le took out his cell phone and dialed Ye Chen's number.
