Chapter 165: Twenty-eight dollars a month, too little
Everyone quickly pushed the mother into the operating room. Liu Chen changed into a white coat, put on gloves and a mask, and made a series of preparations.
After Liu Chen took a series of tests such as a stethoscope and a blood pressure monitor, he then checked the mother's pulse. At this time, the pulse beat was very weak, and Liu Chen felt that something was not good.
After a simple examination, Liu Chen concluded that the baby was too large and the fetal position was abnormal. It seemed that a normal delivery was impossible, and a caesarean section was necessary immediately.
Although caesarean section successfully delivered a fetus in our country in 1902, and the mother and child were safe, doctors in Lianqiao Commune had only heard of it, but no one knew how to do it. Moreover, the conditions of their health center were poor and they were not equipped for surgery at all.
environment.
Not to mention the commune health center, there are not many doctors who can perform caesarean section even in the county. So you need to go to a large hospital like the area.
Liu Chen looked at the doctors next to him, shook his head and said: "The situation is not good, now we have to give the mother a cesarean section immediately."
When several doctors heard that they were going to perform a cesarean section on the mother, they shook their heads. Not only they, but even the hospital director was not necessarily good at this technique. They would either immediately transfer the patient to a county or regional hospital, or they would have to issue a critical illness notification.
"I'll do the surgery, and you guys will assist." Liu Chen said firmly.
Now he is racing against time. If it is any later, adults and children will be dead.
Liu Chen went out to talk to the family members and told them that the mother had to have a caesarean section.
At first, when the family members heard that they were going to have a caesarean section, they were so scared that they collapsed on the ground. Wang Juan's mother kept crying: "God, please save our family, save their mother and son."
"Hurry up and sign and make a decision, time is tight." Dr. Liang Xiaohong said again.
Wang Jian pushed himself hard on the ground, stood up staggeringly, and said through gritted teeth: "Okay, I'll sign."
Wang Jian signed the contract and handed the things to Liu Chen, then he knelt on the ground and burst into tears.
Liang Xiaohong immediately entered the room, and Liu Chen took out the anesthetic he had brought, first gave the mother a general anesthetic, and then placed a urinary catheter.
Routine abdominal disinfection, up to the subxiphoid process and down to the upper third of the thigh, and disinfect the abdomen.
Liu Chen took out a scalpel and cut open the skin and subcutaneous fat. The mother's situation was special, so Liu Chen used a vertical incision. After the incision, he applied a hemostat to stop the bleeding, then cut the fascia, separated the rectus abdominis, and exposed the peritoneum.
Then cut the peritoneum.
At this time, the mother's uterus is exposed.
Liu Chen inserted gauze pads on both sides of the uterus. He also made a small incision in the lower section of the uterus, tore the uterus open with his bare hands, punctured the amniotic sac, and sucked out the amniotic fluid with an aspirator. At this time, he began to take out the fetus and cut it short.
umbilical cord.
Liu Chen's hands were full of blood and he handed the fetus to the doctor on the side.
The doctor took the fetus, cleaned the mouth and nose, and "popped" the soles of the feet twice. The baby cried loudly, and the doctors present breathed a sigh of relief.
Here Liu Chen used tissue clamps to clamp the uterine incision, peeled off the placenta with his bare hands, and used sterile cotton to clean the uterine cavity. After confirming that it was clean, he began to suture the uterus.
After the sutures were completed, Liu Chen checked every active bleeding again, counted the instruments and gauze again, and finally began to close the abdomen layer by layer.
After the abdominal wall is sutured, the incision is covered with sterile cotton gauze and fixed with tape to complete the entire operation.
Liu Chen was so tired that he was sweating all over. Several doctors wiped Liu Chen's sweat and looked at Liu Chen with admiration. This man's medical skills are so good. He doesn't look like the barefoot doctors in the team at all.
He looks very skillful in his technique.
After the operation, Liu Chen gave the mother normal infusion. This was to replenish water, correct dehydration, and prevent infection.
At this time, doctor Mu Qing held the child in her arms. Liang Xiaohong opened the door and saw family members swarming over.
"The family members came here to see if the boy, mother and son are safe." As soon as Mu Qing finished speaking, several people took the child over and looked at it again and again.
"Thank God, God bless you." Wang Jian's mother, Li Cuicui, clasped her hands together and muttered.
At this time Liu Chen came out, and Dean Jia Guoxing and Secretary Zhang called Liu Chen to the dean's office.
The dean took Liu Chen's hand and said, "You are really awesome and amazing. I wonder if you would like to work in our hospital."
Liu Chen was suddenly confused. This was to make him a doctor in the commune. Liu Chen thought to himself that he had just resigned from his job as an obstetrician and gynecologist in his previous life. Now in 1979, he would not want to work as an obstetrician and gynecologist again.
Let's work?
Secretary Zhang also came over. He was a good guy. Not everyone can perform a caesarean section.
Secretary Zhang and the others looked at Liu Chen. It was okay to work in a commune. Nowadays, the salary of doctors is still good. General workers earn 28 yuan a month, and there are also a lot of subsidies for food stamps and meat stamps.
Liu Chen scratched his head and thought, "This is good, the main thing is that he doesn't want to be restrained and doesn't want to stay in the hospital all day long."
Secretary Zhang and Jia Guoxing thought Liu Chen would readily agree. Unexpectedly, Liu Chen hesitated for a long time and refused to agree.
"Liu Chen, what do you mean?" Secretary Zhang stared at Liu Chen and said.
Liu Chen expressed his thoughts. It would be fine if he was invited to work in the health center. He just needed to give himself an excuse to be a barefoot doctor first. He didn't want to stay in the health center all day long.
Liu Chen knew in his heart that there were usually very few people in this health center. Usually when people were sick, they would take some herbal medicines if they could. If they were really seriously ill, they could only go to the county hospital for treatment. Usually everyone was very free.
Woolen cloth.
He didn't want to stay in the health center all day long.
He made a condition that he would work three days a week, not the night shift, and return to the production team to do farm work and earn some work points.
After hearing Liu Chen's conditions, Secretary Zhang wanted to find a stick to beat this guy. Which hospital would allow you to do this? This guy, it's twenty-eight yuan a month. Why is this guy not tempted? His own salary
It only costs more than 40 yuan a month, which is more than half of his money.
At this time, Jia Guoxing nodded, indicating that he agreed with Liu Chen's request.
Secretary Zhang stared at Jia Guoxing and expressed his shock. Is this a joke?
Jia Guoxing took a fancy to Liu Chen's skills. At first glance, this guy was not simple. There were not many people in the entire county who could successfully perform cesarean section operations.
He wanted to recruit Liu Chen and let Liu Chen train other doctors.
"I don't have any documents, nothing."
"That doesn't matter. I will recruit you into the health center first as a general worker, and then I will recommend you to the hospital above. The regional hospital has medical teaching qualifications, and then I will train you and issue you a certificate when the time comes.
Already." Jia Guoxing said with a smile.
"Then since Dean Jia has thought so thoughtfully, I have nothing to say." Secretary Zhang said with a smile.
Liu Chen came out of Jia Guoxing's office, still confused. He had suddenly become an employee of a health center, and he still had a salary of twenty-eight yuan a month. He also ate commercial food.
Liu Chen came out and told Zhang Yanjun about this matter. Zhang Yanjun was also shocked, and then became very depressed.
This guy's medical skills are very good, it's natural.
Liu Chen thought to himself that he graduated from a good university and was a doctor of obstetrics and gynecology, as well as a doctor in the county. Now that he came to this health center, this was the health center's blessing.
Liu Chen was about to leave when he saw Wang Jian and his mother Li Cuicui coming over with malted milk, cans, peach cakes, and wine, insisting on giving them to Liu Chen, saying they were thanking him for saving his life.
Liu Chen said nothing. He was a doctor now and he couldn't lose his medical ethics.
Liu Chen also informed some postpartum precautions. After all, it was a caesarean section and she could not go back yet. She had to wait a week before she could go back.
Jia Guoxing told the other doctors that Liu Chen would be their colleague from now on, and if there was anything they didn't understand, they should learn from Liu Chen.
Mu Qing just watched Liu Chen's medical skills throughout the whole process, which was really amazing.
Her technique was skillful and her medical skills were superb. It seemed like this was not the first time she had performed such an operation. Although she was only twenty-four years old and had just graduated and was assigned to this health center not long ago, she still admired Liu Chen very much.
Liang Xiaohong couldn't stand it anymore. Isn't this just an operation? A barefoot doctor could come to work with her all of a sudden? She had worked hard to get in. Liu Chen only got in after one operation. It was too cheap.
Already?
Liu Chen doesn't care, he doesn't want to care about what everyone thinks, he just feels like he can be himself.
Han Chunping and Liang Xiaohong were cousins, and she felt that Liu Chen was like a blind cat meeting a dead mouse, with a grown man acting as a midwife. Although she was a doctor, she still felt a little unbearable.
Liu Chen had no idea what everyone was thinking. He was going to check on the mother.
Mu Qing quickly followed Liu Chen and said with a smile: "Doctor Liu, let me follow you and learn from you."
"Young, it's okay to have a little follower so soon." Liu Chen gave the form to Mu Qing and asked her to check it with him.
At this time, the mother, Zhao Meimei, also woke up and saw Liu Chen nodding.
Liu Chen asked Mu Qing to check whether there was bleeding in the vagina after the caesarean section. It must be diagnosed and treated in time.
Liu Chen also told Mu Qing to rub her uterus every fifteen minutes to make it as hard as a wooden board, which would greatly reduce uterine bleeding.
Liu Chen looked at the condition of the mother's wound again. He told Mu Qing that if the wound showed induration, tenderness, fever, etc., it might be an infection, and he also checked the condition of the breast glands.
After all the examinations were completed, Liu Chen explained some precautions to the family members and asked them to watch the mother for six hours before getting out of bed and moving. This can reduce the formation of thrombosis and promote recovery after caesarean section.
After everything was arranged, Mu Qing and Liang Xiaohong were on night shift today. Seeing that nothing happened, Liu Chen rode his motorcycle back with Zhang Yanjun.
"Ah Chen, it's okay. You will also be eating commercial food from now on, so be happy." Zhang Yanjun said with a smile.
Chapter completed!
