Chapter 23 Xingtang Commune Health Center
After the Zhang family leaves, Chen Qi will go to Xingtang Commune Health Center to teach.
The silly elder sister is busy packing up the gifts, hiding what should be hidden and eating what should be eaten, especially the hind leg meat. It would be a waste not to finish it.
She planned to divide it into several portions and take one portion to her grandparents and grandparents. People in the mountains are suffering, and the elderly in the mountains are suffering even more. They basically have to take care of their own food, and few have children to support them.

When the four siblings of the Chen family were in the most difficult time, the old people did not lend a helping hand. It was not that they were indifferent, but that they were really helpless.
Chen Qi doesn't care about these things. He is a reborn person. To him, there is no difference between a few old people and strangers. How can it be said that there is much family affection?
He happily walked to the commune with his younger brother and younger sister.
Chen Shu and Chen Hua knew that their eldest brother was going to the commune, so they made plans to go with him the day before.
Although they don’t know how much money their eldest brother makes from selling souvenirs, they can always provide popsicles for at least 3 cents each, right?
Xingtang Health Center is located next to the cinema and is very easy to find. There is a big five-pointed star on the lintel.
Dean Ke had been waiting at the door for a long time. When he saw Chen Qi coming, he greeted him from a distance and warmly held his hand.
"Comrade Chen, I have been looking forward to your arrival since early in the morning, haha, welcome."
As a surgeon, Chen Qi was most unaccustomed to shaking hands. The epidemic in his previous life left some psychological shadow, so he quietly took out his hand.
"Sorry, the village chief and his family of Liandong Village came to deliver something early in the morning, so there was a delay."
Dean Ke became interested as soon as he heard this: "Hey, how is that Village Chief Zhang doing now?"
"The surgical wound is not a big problem, but after the anesthesia is over, it will be painful. The pain is definitely painful, and the recovery period of this kind of tendon rupture is very long. There can't be any problems in the middle. But your commune health center performs this kind of surgery
, it’s a bit difficult.”
Even in the previous life, the accident rate of those second-hand doctors suturing tendons, ligaments, and surgeries still existed, and lawsuits were often filed.
So Chen Qi decided to pour cold water on them, fearing that if their expectations were too high, it would be embarrassing for him to teach. This job cannot be taught in a day or two.
Dean Ke waved his hand casually:
"We know this. Like the tendon suturing you did yesterday, even if you dare to teach it now, we don't dare to do it. Otherwise, we will be irresponsible for people's health. We only need to learn the simplest and most basic suturing. If possible
,Comrade Chen can teach more complicated things in the future."
Chen Qi couldn't help but give a thumbs up, praising the pragmatic Dean Ke.
As they talked, the two walked into the commune health center. Chen Shu and Chen Hua took 2 cents and went to play by themselves.
It can be seen that the house in the commune health center should have been an old house before liberation. It was probably renovated from an old house of a wealthy family.
The scale is not large, it mainly consists of a pharmacy, a doctor's office, two outpatient clinics, and an observation room.
In 1981, infusion was available, but it was not a routine treatment. Only very serious patients would receive infusion, usually with a small injection in the buttocks.
Infusion later became a common treatment method, which also caused a series of side effects and hazards.
Of course, this phenomenon was caused by the doctors themselves in the beginning. They wanted to make money, so they encouraged patients to have infusions. A minor illness would result in blood loss. After all, injections are highly profitable.
Later, there were restrictions in national policies. When doctors wanted to prescribe oral medications, the patient took the initiative to ask for infusions, thinking that the disease would heal slowly without infusions.
As a result, the health management department had to force large hospital outpatient clinics to cancel infusions, which is a great tragedy.
Dean Ke stood in the yard, called all the employees over, and introduced Chen Qi one by one. This treatment treated him as a "senior doctor".
"Comrade Chen, our health center currently has only seven employees, including a pharmacy that also collects fees, an internal medicine department, an orthopedic surgeon, a gynecologist, a nurse, and two doctors of traditional Chinese medicine."
Chen Qi also took the initiative to say hello to everyone. They are all decades old, how dare he, a junior, win big?
"Hey, Director Ke, our health center is strong enough and has all the doctors available. Can we still deliver babies here?"
Chen Qi wanted to brag a few words, but Dean Ke waved his hand mockingly:
"Regardless of the fine division of departments, there are actually patients. No one is divided into specialties. They can look at whatever they want. To put it bluntly, it is a general practice. Of course you can deliver babies. Not only can you give birth in the health center, our doctor Mo can also go there.
We deliver babies to the villagers at home."
Chen Qi smiled at the middle-aged woman: "It's awesome."
Dr. Mo seems to be a fast-talking person:
"What's so great about it? Comrade Chen, you don't know that we are not like you who are top students in technical secondary schools. We all have no diploma and have never been to school. Dean Ke and Dr. Li also studied with the master for a period of time when they were young.
Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Those of us who recruit workers come in for a short training and then go straight to work, so we only know a little bit about it. We can't compare with you regular soldiers. You can't hide your secrets when you teach suturing today."
Hahaha, everyone in the yard chuckled.
The current situation in commune health centers in 1981 was that there were almost no doctors with formal academic courses.
Even Dean Ke's "disciple" was from a local doctor. In later generations, he would not even be qualified to take the medical examination.
College students in the 1970s and 1980s basically stayed in large hospitals in provincial cities or regions after graduation.
Technical secondary school graduates from health schools are all placed at the county hospital level.
Few technical secondary school students are assigned to health centers at the township and commune level.
There is no way, there are not enough talents, and they cannot be allocated. Even if there are, they are only available in a few central town health centers. This is already a distribution border. I guess I have offended some teacher in the school.
Therefore, the sources of medical workers in township hospitals generally adopt two methods.
One is the traditional apprenticeship, that is, the doctor in the hospital is the master, and the master leads the apprentice. This kind of apprenticeship is considered the backbone of the business.
Another way is to recruit workers among young people in society, or to recruit children of retired parents to take up jobs. What should these people do after they enter the hospital without any medical foundation?
Then carry out short-term training, giving you three months, or at most half a year, to learn medication and diagnosis from other doctors during the day, and read by yourself at night.
Later, starting in the mid-to-late 1980s, they would also be sent to the "Employee Health School" to study for two years full-time.
