"Do we have to go to the hospital and have a caesarean section?" The Tibetan woman looked at Tao Le and then at her husband, with slight fear in her eyes.
Tao Le understands that this kind of fear is a normal reaction for people who have never had surgery and have insufficient knowledge about caesarean section.
"Your situation is a little complicated." She said: "Symptoms of threatened premature labor have already appeared. It seems that you can't wait for normal delivery. If you don't go to the hospital quickly, it may be life-threatening."
"But this surgery is so simple, you just take a nap and you wake up and everything is fine. Trust me."
"Just listen to Mamba." As soon as Blue heard that it would affect his life, he immediately made a decision: "Let's go to the hospital to have a baby."
The village chief, Cscheng Dorje, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You're right. Anyway, all hospital births are free now. Even if there is no problem, you should go and give birth. Besides, your wife may be in danger."
"In that case, you can go back with our car later," Tao Le said.
"Thank you, Mamba." Mr. and Mrs. Blue looked at each other and hesitated: "How about we go to the rural hospital tomorrow. It's close and it's convenient to go back and forth."
Tao Le sighed. She didn't want to say too much for fear of arousing the nervousness of the pregnant woman, but now she had to throw out some.
"The rural hospital cannot handle your situation. But the obstetrics and gynecology department in our hospital are all famous medical experts from the capital city. They can ensure the safety of mother and child to the greatest extent."
At this point, the couple already knew that this trip was necessary.
"It's all up to you," they said.
After convincing Mr. and Mrs. Blu, Tao Le and others left and walked to the next house.
Ever since Chang Shengnan learned about the close relationship between Tao Le and Dave, and witnessed her acupuncture and hemostasis techniques, his attitude towards her has undergone a 180-degree turn, and he has become particularly open-minded and eager to learn.
"Teacher Tao." She asked: "Even if there are signs of threatened premature birth, it should be no problem to go to the rural hospital for a caesarean section. Why did you let them go back with us?"
"Because I suspect that this is not an ordinary threatened premature birth." Tao Le was very sure of this correct attitude and patiently explained:
"It may be that the uterus is underdeveloped. It's already thirty-six weeks, and there may be a risk of uterine rupture at any time. This situation is difficult for the rural hospital to handle."
"So that's it." Chang Shengnan said with admiration: "Teacher Tao, you are really amazing. Without any instruments, you can tell that the uterus of pregnant women is underdeveloped just by taking the pulse - no wonder so many people in the hospital have been there recently. Sigh, Chinese medicine is so profound and profound!”
Tao Le's family knows their own affairs. She could tell from the pulse pattern that there was a loss of Qi and blood and that the fetus was unstable, but it was unrealistic to say that she could also detect whether the uterus was well developed and whether the shape was single horn, double horn or no horn. .
But for now, she could only make a haha and get around this matter: "So Katsuo, when you get back, you have to quickly catch up on the acupuncture and pulse control to stop bleeding."
"Uh, okay, Teacher Tao."
After successfully sealing Chang Shengnan's throat with a sword, Tao Le felt inexplicably relieved.
At this time, they also arrived at the second house.
"The Wangdui family is the largest family in the village, with three generations living under one roof. The three brothers have not separated since they grew up and live with their parents - they like this atmosphere of the whole family getting together."
As Cicheng Dorje said, he stood outside the door and shouted twice, then saw several people running out and welcoming Tao Le and his party in.
The Wangdui family's bungalow is a stone-wood structure with three floors, which is much taller than the Bulu family's bungalow.
The ground floor is the sheepfold and storage room, the second floor is the living floor, with a large main room, bedrooms, kitchen, storage room, etc., and the third floor is the prayer hall and terrace.
Tao Le and others were invited to the second floor. There were many people in the hall, including men, women and children. Everyone greeted them politely and served them fragrant butter tea, fruits and snacks.
Among them is a kind of glutinous rice fried with ghee and white flour, called saika, which tastes fragrant and crispy.
However, they did not come here to have tea and food, but to seek medical advice.
Tao Le looked around the room and saw a monk sitting here, and there seemed to be something wrong with his body.
Seeing Tao Le looking over, he smiled indifferently, but didn't take the initiative to say anything.
"That is Wangdui's eldest son. He was sent to the monastery since he was a child, and now he basically practices at home." Cicheng Dorje introduced her to her, and then said to Wangdui's family:
"These three are Mamba from the Central Hospital of Saskatchewan. Each of them is a famous doctor from the mainland. As long as they take your pulse, they can understand your body clearly. It is a blessing for everyone to be here."
"Yes, yes, thank you Angela!" The Wangdui family smiled and expressed their gratitude.
Tao Le can understand why they are happy. The snowy area is vast and sparsely populated. Usually, because of fear of trouble, not only do minor illnesses never go to the hospital, but sometimes even if they become serious illnesses, they may not go to the hospital.
Although there are village doctors now, they are still far behind the level of village doctors in the mainland. They can only be regarded as better than nothing - but the doctors who come to provide free clinics are different.
Not only are they famous doctors in the Mainland, but they also provide free medical treatment and medicine. It is not an exaggeration to praise them as angels.
"It's not too late, let's get started." Tao Le then went straight to the topic.
"Please Mamba take a look at my father first." Wangdui stood up and let Tao Le and others into a bedroom.
A Tibetan man in his sixties was lying on the bed. When he saw them coming in, he quickly tried to sit up with his hands on his hands.
"Don't move." Tao Le stepped forward, gave him a hand, and touched his wrist vein.
She was startled when she felt the temperature on the old man's wrist.
The old man was suffering from a high fever, at least 39 degrees.
She immediately frowned, and just as she was about to open the golden finger to see what was going on, Wangdui lifted the quilt from the old man's legs and feet, revealing the mystery.
The old man's right ankle was smeared with a bunch of dark ointment made of unknown materials. It exuded a strange smell, and Tao Le couldn't tell what it was made of.
But even so, she could see the festering abscessed skin beneath the ointment.
So this is the focus of infection.
"My father was afraid of the cold and used a hot water bottle to cover his feet at night. He accidentally scalded his ankle. He used burn medicine prepared by the village doctor, but it never healed," Wangdui said.
"It's an infection." Tao Le asked, "How long has the old man had a fever?"
"You have a fever?" Wangdui was stunned: "No wonder, you ate so little at noon, it turns out you have a fever."
Tao Le quickly ordered: "Debridement, and then apply the burn ointment we brought."
"Do a penicillin G sodium skin test."
She said something, and Chang Shengnan and Xiao Chen took action quickly.
Soon the two of them completed a series of operations under Tao Le's guidance.
"The skin test result is negative." Xiao Chen reported.
She didn't need to say this, Tao Le could see it himself.
"Establish an intravenous channel and infuse 800,000 units of penicillin G intravenously."
"Teacher Tao, can you tell me why you use penicillin G instead of other antibiotics?" Chang Shengnan asked.
