Check-in at the Hospital: The First Surgery Shocked the Nation!-Chapter 216 - 143: Rural Free Clinic and the Stormy Night’s Accident

Chapter 216: Chapter 143: Rural Free Clinic and the Stormy Night’s Accident

After arranging everything and completing a round of assessments for Zhao Yitian and the other three.

Qin Feng finally felt relieved to leave.

Early the next morning,

two Coaster minibuses appeared at the entrance of Jiangcheng City First Hospital.

This time, led by Qin Feng, from departments like emergency, cardiothoracic, neurosurgery, neurology, gastroenterology, orthopedics, urology, dermatology... each sent an attending physician, along with 15 nurses.

They brought medical supplies and set off in full swing towards Guoyuan Town.

At the same time,

joint countryside medical teams from the Second and Third Hospitals also set off simultaneously toward another village and town.

In the past two days, a typhoon passed through, causing unusual weather and continuous heavy rain, so these two villages and towns near the edge of Jiangcheng suffered serious damage.

Three hours later, the vehicles finally reached the center of Guoyuan Town.

The town leaders, seeing their arrival with so many doctors and nurses, were so excited that they shook hands repeatedly.

"Welcome, welcome! Welcome to the doctors from the First Hospital of the city!"

When they learned that Qin Feng was the team leader, the town leaders were quite surprised.

However, upon understanding that Qin Feng was a department director at the First Hospital, their attitude immediately became respectful.

Although he was only in his twenties, the profession of a doctor is no joke!

It requires real skill and cannot tolerate any falsehood!

Welcoming,

having a meal,

transferring vehicles, and arriving at Xiaodian Village’s elementary school.

Xiaodian Village was the most severely affected village this time; other places were already recovering.

But most households in this village were still submerged in knee-deep water, barely managing to live.

Several tractors trekked through muddy roads, crossing mountains and rivers, and finally stopped at an old elementary school site in the village, after a wobbling journey.

This was also the highest point in the village, not engulfed by the heavy rains.

"Come on! Move the equipment!"

Qin Feng jumped off the vehicle, waved his big hand, and shouted at everyone.

Immediately, all the doctors, nurses, and those who came to help quickly got busy.

One desk after another was set up, and one sunshade after another was erected.

At this time of scorching summer, the sun after the heavy rain was especially glaring, and the moist air seemed oppressive under the heat.

Even breathing felt uncomfortable~

"Director Qin! Thank you! Thank you all!"

At this moment,

a young man who looked about the same age as Qin Feng, disheveled and dirty, grasped Qin Feng’s hand and thanked him repeatedly.

He was wearing only a somewhat faded T-shirt, with his pants rolled up to his calves, and both pants and legs were covered in muddy water.

His glasses were also washed by the muddy yellow water, looking like a typical rural person.

"Director Qin, this is the village secretary of Xiaodian Village, Chai Zhongjun, who is also a university student."

The office director from the town who came with them introduced,

"He’s been in Xiaodian Village for two years now, and the work here is arranged by him."

"Hello."

"Hello, hello, you all have finally come."

Chai Zhongjun appeared a bit excited, licking his dry lips,

"Due to the heavy rain during this period, many people in the village have had health problems, and the town’s medical support is not enough, so we’ve been waiting for several days."

"Then let’s get started, and first treat the villagers."

Qin Feng nodded.

"Alright, alright!"

Chai Zhongjun hurriedly ran out, almost slipping and falling, but fortunately, he was holding onto a tree branch.

Qin Feng watched his back, unable to help but feel a bit moved.

These university-graduated village officials, deeply rooted in impoverished and harsh rural areas, seeking development for the people, living better lives, indeed suffer a lot.

Yesterday, the town had already notified the village that doctors from the city’s top-tier hospitals would come to provide free consultations.

So today, many villagers were waiting early.

In less than 20 minutes,

soon over a hundred people gathered on the old school playground, white-haired as far as the eye could see.

"Wow, how long has it been? So many people have come."

"And mostly elderly people!"

"We can’t take this lightly, there’s plenty to do."

...

The medical staff, seeing this scene, suddenly felt like they were in an elderly health check-up queue.

Qin Feng also perked up upon seeing this; it’s important to know that elderly people at the grassroots level often have some chronic illnesses, and sometimes even serious diseases.

They usually don’t have the time, money, or opportunity to receive treatment, so careful diagnosis is a must.

Soon,

all the doctors began seeing patients,

the nurses measured vital signs, checked the elderly’s blood sugar, ECG, etc., one by one, received patients treated by doctors to dispense medication, and educated about pathology and everyday protection.

And these elderly people, one by one, had long-lost smiles on their faces, nodding in gratitude.

Until noon, the elderly were still reluctant to leave, waiting in line for treatment.

Qin Feng and all the doctors and nurses didn’t have time to rest, having to take turns eating boxed meals quickly, and rushing back as soon as they finished.

Busy until 6 in the evening, when it was getting dark, all the elderly and children were finally diagnosed and treated.

Each person was exhausted, collapsing on chairs, thoroughly soaked with sweat.

But the conditions here weren’t good, so they couldn’t comfortably take a hot shower.

The village secretary, Chai Zhongjun, along with the only few men and women, set up large pots to boil water and prepare meals for them.

Qin Feng gathered all the doctors to summarize the medical conditions.

Among all the patients consulted, prevalent were high blood pressure, diabetes, gastric diseases, cervical, lumbar, joint, and lung diseases.

There were even seven or eight elderly people with suspected cancer, awaiting further examination.

As night fell,

after a busy day, the medical staff returned to the town and rested at the hotel next to the town committee.
