Chapter 107 Free Clinic
There were only a few dozen households in the village. Doctors from the provincial capital had arrived, and the news spread quickly.
One after another, everyone gathered at the door of the health station. Some people asked Magu when the free clinic would start.
After enough rest, Yang Ping asked Magu what medicines were prepared for this free clinic? Magu took out the list and showed it to Yang Ping.
The medicines on this list are very well prepared and cover some common diseases. Director Tian should be involved in the preparation of the medicines.
Yang Ping said: "Everyone is impatient, let's start the free clinic."
Magu asked everyone to line up, and each person was given a number card. Everyone used the number card to see a doctor. Those who didn't get their turn could go for a walk, but they would have to wait for their turn again.
Yang Ping sat behind the free clinic table, and Xiao Su sat aside to help measure blood pressure. Every patient who sees a doctor must measure blood pressure first. One is watching, and the other waiting patient is taking blood pressure.
The doctor from the provincial capital came to see if he was sick or not, to reassure him.
Most of the young people speak Mandarin well, but the old ones cannot speak Mandarin. Magu serves as a translator. When translation is not needed, she helps Xiao Su take her blood pressure.
The habits in their village are a bit different. The young and strong ones look in front, and the old ones look in the back. The reason is that the young and strong ones have to work in a hurry after reading, while the old ones have nothing to do and can watch slowly.
The liaison officer picked up the camera and took pictures from different angles. This was one of the main tasks of his trip.
"Doctor, my neck is always sore and swollen. I feel so tired and uncomfortable. I don't know how to relax when I go to sleep at night? What's going on?" The first villager, a middle-aged man in his forties, held the No. 1 card. He sat in front of Yang Ping and touched his neck. He looked distressed and seemed to be in deep torment.
He twisted his neck and said, "Look, it still clicks!"
Yang Ping stood up, walked from behind the table to the front, and walked around behind him: "Let me check it for you."
Palpate the neck and shoulders with your hands: "The physiological curvature of the cervical spine has straightened, and the muscles in the neck and back on both sides are tense. Are your hands numb? Are you dizzy?"
"Yes, sometimes my hands get numb and I feel dizzy. Let me think about it. Occasionally, I get dizzy suddenly. It's inexplicable."
No. 1 is very confident in the quality of doctors in the provincial capital.
"You have cervical spondylosis. You usually look down at your phone a lot, right?"
"Yeah, what should I do? Is there no big problem?" No. 1 was very worried.
Yang Ping sat back in his chair: "Don't be nervous. The symptoms are still relatively mild at present and the treatment effect is very good. I will give you some medicine for free. After taking it, the symptoms will be relieved."
Then he took out the prescription and prescribed medicine, mainly non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and skeletal muscle relaxants. After writing the prescription, he gave it to Magu to distribute the medicine.
"Buy a wavy pillow and use it to support the back of your neck when you sleep at night. This will tilt your head back slightly and restore the natural curvature of your cervical spine, which will make sleeping at night much more comfortable." Yang Ping added.
"Pillow the back of your neck?" No. 1 was a little confused.
Yang Ping explained patiently: "Yes, usually the pillow is placed on the back of the head when sleeping. Now the back of the neck should also be pillowed to tilt the head back slightly. Also, play less with mobile phones. Mobile phones are now the number one killer of the cervical spine."
"Is it over or not? Others still want to watch it?" the person behind urged.
Number 1 thought about it for a while and decided if there was anything else he wanted to ask. It seemed that he had nothing to ask before he was willing to leave his seat and give it to the next person.
"He has neck pain, and I have low back pain. Look, doctor, it hurts here. It usually hurts when I stand up after sitting for a long time. A few days ago, I bent down to pick up an egg and twisted my waist. It has been hurting for several days."< br>
Man No. 2, about thirty years old.
Yang Ping asked him to turn around, pressed on the lumbosacral area, and then on the course of the sciatic nerve, and said, "Does the leg hurt, does it feel numb?"
"One time, there was numbness and pain here from my butt to my calf." No. 2 gestured with his hand.
"You didn't sprain your waist, you had a lumbar disc herniation." Yang Ping made a rough judgment.
"It's over, lumbar disc herniation?" No. 2 seemed to be suffering from something serious.
"Why is it over?" Yang Ping was very surprised.
"They say this disease cannot be cured and can only be treated with care, and it will lead to paralysis in the future!" said No. 2.
Yang Ping said: "Who said that?"
"Them?"
"Who are they?"
Number 2 was speechless for a moment, yes, who are they?
"Lumbar disc herniation can be treated, and the vast majority of patients will not be paralyzed. There are only a few cases. As a doctor, I have never encountered anyone who was paralyzed due to lumbar disc herniation." Yang Ping said with certainty.
"Really, doctor, then I'm relieved." No. 2's joy and sorrow changed quickly.
"Your disease is very painful. Just take some medicine. It's the same medicine as the previous medicine. The pathogenesis is similar, but the location of the disease is different." Yang Ping tore off the prescribed prescription.
Number 2 shook his head: "Don't take painkillers! The side effects are huge!"
Yang Ping explained: "Any medicine has side effects, but compared to treating the disease, the side effects of most medicines are insignificant. The negative effect of pain on the human body is probably greater than that of painkillers, not to mention that the medicines I prescribe are not just for pain relief." Function, more importantly, it is anti-inflammatory and reduces your body’s inflammatory response.”
"That's it, let me give it a try." Number 2 figured it out.
Yang Ping told him: "After the pain of your disease is relieved, you must continue to exercise more in the future to avoid recurrence. I will teach you a set of exercise methods, lumbar and back muscle exercises. If you exercise the lumbar back muscles, the stability of the spine will be improved. The load on the intervertebral discs will be reduced, and your waist will be fine naturally. If your waist is good, you can do everything well. ”
Hearing Yang Ping's words, not only No. 2, but all the men poked their heads out. Some magical exercise method, it seemed that only men understood the secret words, and all men understood it.
The liaison officers holding cameras to take pictures all came closer.
"Is there a mat?" Yang Ping asked Magu. Magu told her husband: "Go and bring out the mattress."
Magu's husband went to the house and brought out a mattress, a simple camp mattress.
"You lie down, it's very simple, an arch bridge, a flying swallow, both exercise the lower back muscles. Lie down, bend your legs, yes, lift your waist and buttocks, slow down, lift slowly, hold on, Hold on for a while, then slowly put it down, and continue to exercise like this every day, starting from dozens to hundreds. Then lie down, yes, put your hands on both sides, lift your head, chest and legs, use your abdomen as support, and lift both heads. Keep it straight, hold on, and let it go slowly.”
"So simple?" Number 2 was a little unconvinced.
Yang Ping said: "Everyone doesn't pay attention to simple, free things, and think they are useless. They have to think of injections and medicine."
"Understood, let's start practicing today." Number 2 was very confident.
What the provincial doctor said seriously will not be false.
Number 3, a young man in his twenties, limped over.
"Why are you feeling uncomfortable?" Yang Ping asked.
"Doctor, I want to see if there is any way to cure my leg so that I won't be lame when I walk?" No. 3 swung one leg out, lowered his head and rolled up his pants.
Everyone laughed.
"What's wrong with your legs?"
"When I was a child, I fell from a tree and broke it. I didn't care. I have been limping ever since. You see, this leg is a little crooked and a little short."
Yang Ping stood up and examined him, measuring the lines and length of both lower limbs.
No. 3 asked worriedly: "Can it be cured? Nowadays, men can be transformed into women. Isn't it easier for me than that?"
"Don't waste your time. If you have nothing else to do, let the people behind you look at it. The doctor is busy and talking nonsense to you."
Some people were dissatisfied and felt that this guy was deliberately making things difficult for other doctors.
"Yeah, don't make trouble if it's okay, everyone is waiting."
Some people were anxious and kept urging.
"It can be cured, and the chance of returning to normal is very high." Yang Ping leaned on his chair and took a sip of water.
The crowd was in an uproar. Can this be cured?
"Really?" Originally the young man was just asking without giving any hope, but he didn't know that the doctor said it could be treated. This was beyond his wildest dreams.
"Don't play tricks on me, doctor." The young man smiled bitterly.
Yang Ping said: "You should have fractured the tibia of your lower leg before, and then the malformation healed, causing this side to be too short. You can undergo surgery to correct it and return to normal walking."
The young man was a little dizzy: "How - how - orthopedic?"
"Lengthen the short leg until it's like a normal leg." Yang Ping said naturally.
It can still be like this, medical skills are really advanced now.
The young man was excited: "Is it convenient to leave a phone number? I will go to the provincial capital to find you. Really, I want to treat this leg properly."
Yang Ping took out a piece of paper and wrote a phone call to him.
He stood up, took the phone number Yang Ping wrote to him, and said to himself: "It can be cured, it can be cured."
Next.
A young woman, in her early twenties, sat in front of her: "Doctor, I--"
"What's wrong with you?" Yang Ping asked.
He didn't speak, his face turned red, and he said: "I wrote to you."
Yang Ping gave her paper and pen.
She wrote: "I often have dysmenorrhea!"
I was embarrassed, how should I say this? I quickly made a draft in my mind to explain the condition clearly without embarrassing the girl.
I also know a little about diseases in other departments, but I am not as good as a specialist, so I picked up a pen and prepared to write.
Xiao Su was nearby, taking a sneak peek and almost laughed out loud.
"It's raining!"
"It's raining!"
someone shouted from the crowd.
The weather was fine just now, with a little bit of sunshine.
Suddenly it started to rain.
