Because they were delayed for nearly two hours, it was already noon when Tao Le and others arrived near their destination.
Longlie Village is one of the six villages in Jiatengre Township. It is built on the hillside behind the township government and cannot be accessed by cars.
This was not the first time the driver came. He took the initiative to take on the role of guide and led Tao Le and others up the mountain.
The road up the mountain is very steep. It is filled with a mixture of thick gravel and soil trampled by villagers and livestock. When you step on it, strong dust will be raised.
There are no trees on the entire road. When the afternoon sun shines on your body, what you feel is not the warm sun in winter, but the indescribable experience of being exposed to the sun, cold on the outside, hot on the inside, dry on the outside, and wet on the inside.
Tao Le felt fine because of his excellent physique. As men, Shi Youjie and Xie Baoshu could barely hold on. Chang Shengnan and the two nurses were a bit overwhelmed.
Tao Le took the initiative to take Chang Shengnan's medical box, and then carried the medicine box carried by the nurses on his back.
"Dr. Tao, I'm fine. Don't get too tired." Xiao Chen reacted and quickly grabbed the medicine box and tried to pull it back - but it didn't move at all.
"I'm fine." Tao Le said, "There's still a long way to go. If we don't hurry up, we won't be able to eat."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xie Baoshu's stomach immediately rumbled unsatisfactorily. He was really hungry.
We braved the scorching sun and stepped on the dust to climb up the irregular zigzag mountain road. We passed through countless turns and passed through a bush with a slope of about 70 degrees.
In this kind of place, people can't stand at all when walking on it. They can only look up and lean diagonally. There is no flat ground on the feet, and the ankles are crooked and keep sliding down.
Fortunately, after climbing through this bush, we arrived at Longlie Village.
The village chief, Cscheng Dorje, led the village work team and the village doctor, and together with many villagers, stood at the entrance of the village to greet them.
After the hada was tied around his neck and the highland barley wine was drunk, Tao Le and others were invited to the village chief's house.
After a simple Tibetan lunch, Tao Le and others devoted themselves to the free clinic.
They were divided into two groups, Shi Youjie, Xie Baoshu and nurse Xiao Chen were in one group, and Tao Le, Chang Shengnan and Xiao Lin were in another group. They were led by local people and visited homes for consultation.
Tao Le's group was personally led by the village chief Cscheng Duoji.
"There are a total of thirty-two households in the village, with exactly one hundred and eight people, forming a water-filled Liangshan Mountain." Cscheng Dorje spoke extremely well in Mandarin:
"But it won't be this number soon, and the village will soon have more imported ones."
"Oh? Is a pregnant woman about to give birth?"
"Yes." Cicheng Dorje said with a smile: "Bulu's wife is nine months pregnant. This is their first child. She seems so excited. Since you are here, go and take a look. .”
"Have you had a prenatal checkup?" Chang Shengnan asked subconsciously.
"Uh, no." Cscheng Dorje paused and said, "I distributed all the missionary brochures you came here to distribute before, and explained the content to them, but no one listened at all."
"Although it is free to go to the hospital to give birth to a baby now, every check-up is not free, and you have to walk more than 100 kilometers. Who wants to cause this trouble?"
"Everyone has been here like this for many years, and it will pass after a while."
When he said this, he had already arrived at the door of Blue's house.
This is a small flat-roofed tower house, which is the most common Tibetan residential style besides tents.
A young man opened the door and welcomed them in.
After entering the door, there is a spacious hall with an iron stove in the middle and a chimney leading to the outside.
Blu's wife, with her belly bulging out, was vigorously stirring butter tea, then poured it into cups and distributed it to everyone.
Tao Le took the tea, his eyes flashed slightly, he put the tea aside, stood up and held her hand.
"You don't look good. Is your stomach upset?"
She said this in Tibetan with a very gentle tone.
The wife held her lower back with one hand and her belly with the other and said, "I don't feel too uncomfortable. I just feel a little depressed recently and have no energy in my body. My mother told me that this is normal. It will be fine after the baby is born." alright."
She looked at her swollen belly with gentle and calm eyes, obviously full of joy and expectation for the little life inside.
Tao Le sighed. She could see clearly with her golden finger just now that the situation in this young Tibetan woman's stomach was not that simple.
Due to various reasons, the uterus is too small or not completely closed, which is congenital uterine dysplasia.
It is a relatively rare disease, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
This is the case for the woman in front of me. The two sides of the bottom of her uterus are not completely closed, and there are two horns protruding downward, so it is called a bicornuate uterus.
Women with this kind of uterus usually do not have any bad feelings, and it does not affect normal marriage and pregnancy. However, after pregnancy, it can cause miscarriage, threatened premature birth, and even uterine rupture.
Her pregnancy has reached thirty-six weeks, and judging from the golden finger interface, the lower part of the uterus is already overwhelmed. If she didn't seek medical treatment, her uterus would rupture and she would die.
"Let me feel your pulse and see how the child is doing." Tao Le thought for a while and said.
Doctors have a very high status in the hearts of Tibetan people, whether they are Chinese medicine or Western medicine. As soon as she said this, the woman honestly stretched out her wrist and asked her to do something.
The pulse is heavy and slippery, thin and rapid. It indicates that the woman has insufficient Qi and blood, which corresponds to the mild anemia shown by the golden finger.
She had a sullen face and didn't speak for a long time, leaving Blue's smile frozen on her face.
"Mamba." His voice was dry: "Is there something wrong?"
"There is a problem." Tao Le nodded directly and knocked down the hammer: "Your wife cannot stay here to give birth to her baby. She must go to the hospital for a caesarean section."
She offered no further explanation. What is bicornuate uterus and what harm will it cause? Many professional terms cannot be accurately translated into Tibetan, and even if they are barely translated, it will be meaningless.
After these days of adapting to the emergency room, Tao Le has gained a relatively deep understanding of Tibetan compatriots.
They have a special respect and trust for doctors.
You don’t need to speak too much, too detailed, or too professionally, otherwise they will just open their eyes blankly and not fully understand what you mean.
But in terms of cooperation, they are the best patients and family members.
Regardless of whether they understand it or not, as long as it is a treatment plan prescribed by the doctor, they will basically accept it without reservation, and no matter what the result is, they will not blame the doctor.
There are exceptions to this. For example, due to factors such as family finances, there will be precedents for giving up treatment, but that was all in the past.
Since the launch of the "Lemu Foundation", all patients who want to give up halfway have been retained by the foundation that is willing to cover up in every possible way.
