Chapter 931 Visitors in the middle of the night
Late that night, Dr. Wu was sleeping soundly, but he didn't know that someone was knocking loudly at the hospital door.
It was unknown how long the man knocked, and he even shouted loudly, finally waking Dr. Wu up from his sleep.
Dr. Wu was awakened from his sleep by the shouting. He was still half asleep when he heard the noise coming from outside and finally regained consciousness.
He pricked up his ears and listened carefully. After making sure that he had not heard wrongly, he quickly climbed up from the kang, fumbled to pick up the clothes he had taken off before going to bed and placed on the edge of the kang, and put on the clothes in the little light coming in from the window.
After putting on some clothes, Dr. Wu got off the bed and put on his shoes. He then struggled to find a matchbox, lit it, and then lit the kerosene lamp.
When the room was brightened, Dr. Wu went to find some thick clothes, put them on and went to open the door, still muttering to himself,
"Who is this? Why is he not sleeping in the middle of the night and disturbing my sweet dreams?"
After finally getting dressed, Dr. Wu quickly held up the kerosene lamp, opened the door and shouted outside,
"I'm coming."
After removing the bolt and opening the hospital gate, Dr. Wu held up the kerosene lamp and saw clearly who was knocking on the door. He complained,
"It's Laishun. Why are you knocking on my door so late at night when you're not at home sleeping?"
"Uncle Wu, my mother has a high fever. The temperature is quite high and it's hot to the touch.
I'm out of medicine at home, so I'm coming to you to get it.
I know it's not nice to disturb you in the middle of the night, but given my mom's condition, I'm worried that if I don't quickly give her medicine to reduce her fever, she might not be able to hold on."
Doctor Wu was stunned when he heard this. There was no medicine at home, but he remembered that the family had just come to get medicine the day before yesterday. How could there be no medicine now?
"I remember your father came to get medicine the day before yesterday. He said someone in the family had a fever, and he got three days' worth of medicine for two people.
It's only been two days, how come there's no medicine left?"
Dr. Wu was worried that they might use the medicine recklessly.
"Although Xiao Liu's medicine has no side effects, it is still medicine after all. It is better to take it according to the prescribed dosage and not to mess around."
The person who called Lai Shun was worried that Dr. Wu would think that his family was using the medicine recklessly and would not prescribe the medicine, so he quickly explained,
"Uncle Wu, you misunderstood. We dare not use medicine indiscriminately. We take it according to the prescribed dosage.
But I don’t know what’s wrong with my family these days, someone keeps getting sick.
First, it was my younger brother. The day before yesterday was not a weekend, but he came back from the commune junior high school, sick and running a fever.
My father came to you immediately to get medicine for his illness.
To be on the safe side, I took a little more.”
Lai Shun frowned, "I don't know if it's unlucky that my father got extra medicine or what, but I found out early yesterday morning that my third brother, who sleeps with my youngest brother, also has a fever.
In the afternoon, my son also started to have a fever.
Just now my father got up at night and found my mother talking there. He thought she was talking in her sleep.
But when I touched her accidentally, I found that her whole body was hot.
You should know that my mother slept at the edge of the kang, where the temperature is not high. It is definitely not caused by the kang being too hot.
After repeated confirmation, we found out that she was having a high fever, but we didn't know how long it had been going on.
But when I was cooking dinner yesterday, my mother said she felt sore all over, so I guess she was feeling a little uncomfortable at that time.”
Doctor Wu took a deep breath when he heard this, "So, there are four people in your family who have a cold and a fever.
Then the medicine your father received is indeed not enough."
"Come with me quickly. I'll get you some medicine. Take it back and give it to your mother."
Doctor Wu said this and led the people into the house.
Thinking of the efficacy of the medicine he had thought about before, he confirmed with Changshun,
"By the way, after taking the medicine these two days, how do you feel about the effect of the medicine?"
Changshun didn't think much about it and said directly, "Liu Zhiqing's medicine is very effective.
My brother took some medicine the day before yesterday, and he felt fine by the evening.
But maybe I wasn't paying attention yesterday and there was a little wind, which caused me to feel a little uncomfortable again last night.
My mother even scolded him, saying that he was doing something reckless even though he was not well yet.
He has to go back to school tomorrow, and we don’t feel comfortable letting him go when he’s sick.”
When Dr. Wu heard this, he felt relieved.
From what he said, there should be no problem with the efficacy of the medicine.
When picking up the medicine, Dr. Wu thought about the family, where four people were sick, and simply prescribed more medicine for them.
After wrapping the medicine and handing it to Changshun, Doctor Wu instructed, "This is two days' worth of medicine for five people. Take it back.
The usage and dosage are the same as the previous medicine, so I won’t say more. ”
After making the note in the account book beside him, he showed it to Changshun and asked him to confirm and put his fingerprints on it.
Thanks to the previous literacy classes, although the people in the production team could not read a few words, they knew their own names and some numbers.
But if you let them write it themselves, they may not be able to do it.
Most of the villagers were not very interested in learning to read, but in order to prevent the scorers from over-recording or missing any of their work points, they were still willing to put in the effort to learn their own names, numbers, etc. when learning to read.
"Hurry back and give your mother medicine. Don't delay."
Looking at the big bag of medicine, Changshun was a little hesitant about whether to take so much.
Last time, his father took three days' worth of medicine for two people, even though it was only his younger brother who was sick. Later, four patients appeared in his family.
If he takes two days' worth of medicine for five people, will the number of his patients increase again?
“Or, Uncle Wu, you should give me less medicine.
I feel like I took too much medicine, which is not auspicious." Changshun said as he was about to return the medicine.
Doctor Wu was annoyed when he heard this, "What's so unlucky about this? How can you be more superstitious than us older people?
What happened in your family was purely a coincidence. I guess the other three patients in your family were all infected by your younger brother.
Why don’t you take more medicine back? There are already four patients in your family now. Don’t they need to take medicine?
You'd better get some more medicine. I don't want someone to knock on my door in the middle of the night and ask me to get up to prepare medicine."
"It's said to be two days' worth of medicine for five people, or it could be said to be two days' worth for four people. The rest will be kept at home for future use.
If a situation like today happens again someday, there is no need to run out in the middle of the night to ask for medicine.
This medicine will last a long time as long as it is kept in a dry place."
What Uncle Wu said made sense. Changshun himself didn't want to be forced by his father to go to the clinic to get medicine in the middle of the night again.
It's so cold today. It's so uncomfortable to get up from the warm kang and go outside into the cold wind.
"Okay then, I'll get some more medicine ready."
Doctor Wu sent the patient out and reminded him, "Tell those patients in your family to be quiet and don't go out until they are well again.
Don't be like your little brother, repeating the same thing over and over again."
"As for your younger brother, don't let him go back to school tomorrow. Let him take a few days off and go back when he's better.
It seems that your brother's disease is somewhat contagious. If he doesn't go to school, it will be easy for him to infect other people.
The rest of your family who are fine should also pay attention. "
Upon hearing this, Changshun quickly said, "Uncle Wu, thank you.
I understand. I'll tell them when I get home."
After sending the man away and closing the gate, Doctor Wu walked into the house while talking to himself.
"The number of people coming to get medicine these past two days has increased instead of decreased compared to the previous days.
This happened again tonight. It seems that I should go find the educated youth Xiao Liu as soon as possible and ask her to make more cold medicine."
