Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 191 (Subscribe)

In the Locke Gold Mine, not only Connie is expecting to give birth, but there are twelve other pregnant women whose due dates are within the next three months.

These twelve pregnant women are all family members of Chinese policemen. They are all Boers who were thrown into concentration camps by the British. They all had a secret relationship with single Chinese policemen during their stay in Oak Town, but they could not get Cape Town. This is why they came to Johannesburg and completed the marriage registration at the Johannesburg City Government, becoming de facto legal couples.

The reason why they all stayed in the Rock Gold Mine was that there was a small clinic in the Rock Gold Mine. Although the conditions of the clinic were not very good, in Cape and Transvaal, they could only enjoy medical treatment in the Rock Gold Mine. take care of.

Hospitals in the Cape and the Transvaal will not admit Boers.

It sounds cruel, but this is the fact. Although the British are negotiating with the Boers, they wish that all the Boers would die. It is impossible to provide medical services for the Boers.

Rock received the news that last month, more than a thousand Boers died in the concentration camps in the Transvaal alone.

Throughout the Second Boer War, a total of 27927 Boers died in concentration camps, including 1676 elderly people, 4177 women, and 22074 children.

This is only official data, in reality, the death toll should be much higher than this.

At the beginning when Rock set up a clinic in the gold mine, he never considered delivering babies to pregnant women. Therefore, the clinic in Rock Gold Mine did not have the ability to deliver babies to pregnant women. To take better care of these pregnant women, Rock had to expand the scale of the clinic. .

The new clinic -

In fact, it is no longer a clinic. It is much larger than a clinic and has reached the level of a hospital.

It is also the largest hospital in Johannesburg.

The hospital is located in Ziwei Town, not far from the Rock Gold Mine, at the foot of a mountain next to the town. There are grasslands, woods, and a small lake formed by a river bend near the hospital. Circle it, and plan to transform the woods into a garden and build a ward near the lake. I believe that such an environment will provide the best service for patients.

Now the wards and consulting rooms have just been built, and the greening work has not yet started, but the progress is not slow. The supervisors are the Zulu police sent by the Johannesburg Police Department. They are not polite to the Zulu workers. .

In order to take care of these second-generation Chinese, Roque spared no expense. The new hospital has 40 beds, not only providing medical services for pregnant women, but also for miners who need to be hospitalized due to illness to recuperate in the hospital.

To Rock's surprise, the first patient admitted to this hospital, also named "Bigveda", was not a pregnant woman or a miner, but an expeditionary soldier stationed in Johannesburg.

"Captain John brought in a patient yesterday morning. The unlucky fellow fell off his horse and broke his arm. We performed surgery on him and reattached his arm. During the operation, anesthesia, steel plates and Some bandages, the result of the operation is very good, the patient has been admitted to the ward, Captain John wants to settle the treatment fee with us, how should the treatment fee be calculated?" The doctor who reported to Rock was named Colin Bellamy, he was a Boer , recommended by Dr. Jonathan Jackson in Cape Town.

The Anglo-Boer War brought serious disasters to the Boers. In the Cape Colony, no matter whether they were Boers who supported the United Kingdom or the Boers who supported the Boer countries, they would be rejected by the whole society.

Colin Bellamy, like Jonathan Jackson, practiced medicine in Cape Town before the war broke out. Because of a medical malpractice, Colin Bellamy’s clinic was forcibly closed by the Cape Town municipal government. Colin Bellamy So he was unemployed.

Rock wanted to upgrade the clinic to a hospital, and it was essential to hire experienced doctors, so Jonathan Jackson recommended Colin Bellamy just like Rock.

Rock asked Anton to conduct some investigations on Colin Bellamy, and confirmed that the medical malpractice was not Colin Bellamy's responsibility, so he took Colin Bellamy directly from Cape Town to Johannesburg.

In Locke Hospital, there are now a total of six senior doctors, most of whom are in the same situation as Colin Bellamy.

"How much does the hospital in Cape Town generally charge for this kind of situation?" Rock didn't know the charging standard these days.

"Sixty or seventy pounds," said Colin Bellamy truthfully.

This price is not cheap. The annual income of ordinary people these days is about 60 to [-] pounds. When Rock used to be a patrolman, his annual salary after he was naturalized in Cape Town was only [-] pounds. This still includes overseas Including allowances, if it is in the UK, the annual salary of an ordinary policeman is only [-] to [-] pounds.

Of course, the price is not high. After all, these days, medical equipment is not cheap, and the value of medical skills is higher. Sixty or seventy pounds sounds like a lot. It depends on what it is compared with. Compared with a leg, how much is it? expensive?

For the rich, how much money is not expensive, for the poor——

Poor people's lives are not worth so much.

The era when life is like nothing!

"Then charge according to this standard." Rock won't ask for more, but it won't be cheaper for the Expeditionary Army Command. The money must be paid by the Expeditionary Army Command.

"Okay, will this standard be followed in the future?" Colin Bellamy had a headache. The Locke Hospital doesn't even have a financial officer, and he, the dean, is also rushing to the shelves.

"All according to this standard." Rock made a final decision. Now that the Rock Hospital has opened, it is imminent to equip the hospital with professional financial personnel. In this regard, Rock has reserves in hand, and the Rock Gold Mine has as many as four accountants. Except for Scarlett, they were all sent by Ada during this time.

It must be emphasized that Rock is not a philanthropist, so he will not open medical resources to the society for free.

Even in the future, when family members of miners and Chinese policemen get sick and seek treatment in the hospital, Rock Hospital will charge them according to normal standards.

However, Locke Gold Mine will reimburse the miners' treatment expenses, and the police department will also consider the treatment expenses of the family members of Chinese policemen as appropriate.

This part Rock certainly wouldn't tell Colin Bellamy.

"How about the training of nurses?" Rock was concerned about the nurses in the hospital.

Don’t care, all the nurses in Locke Hospital are Chinese, they are the women sent by Liang Dingxin before. These women are prepared for single Chinese policemen, but Rocke doesn’t know how to play with men, Chinese policemen If you fancy a nurse, go after it with your ability, as long as you don't force it, Rock is happy to see it.

Not to mention, this works very well. Before the Rock Hospital was built, the proportion of Chinese police officers in Johannesburg who became ill began to rise sharply, so that Rock had to stipulate that each Chinese policeman could not take more than one day of sick leave per week. It is estimated that this will become a "wonderful" regulation of the Johannesburg Police Department in the future, just like the British government's regulation: ordinary people's pets cannot mate with royal animals, unless the animal is also from the royal property.

When Roque first saw this "wonderful" regulation, he thought it was issued in the Middle Ages. Later, Roque found out that this regulation was promulgated in 2006.

When he saw this regulation, Rock's heart actually collapsed, because Rock can't help but imagine that if a mouse from a commoner's house accidentally had some kind of inappropriate relationship with the queen's corgi, What is described, will the court try this commoner mouse?

If tried, what charges would it be?

really dirty -

"The progress is going well. They are very smart. Although there is still a bit of a language barrier, they learn quickly." Colin Bellamy is not only responsible for the operation of the hospital, but also responsible for the training of nurses. There is no way, The hospital is a relatively professional field, and Roque cannot appoint a professional manager as the director of the hospital.

The Chinese are indeed smart. Although those nurses have not received education before, and this is even the first time they have gone abroad, they are trained very quickly. If language issues are not considered, many of them are now qualified nurses .

Amazing, nurses these days don't need to go to nursing school, don't need to be certified, and don't need to learn professional skills such as intravenous injection. Before 1940, intravenous injection was only an additional treatment for critical illness, and only doctors had it. Qualification implementation, nurses can only assist in the preparation of related items.

Therefore, the job of a nurse is to take care of the patients. This does not require advanced technology, but a meticulous and responsible attitude. Nightingale did this, so he successfully fought in the Crimean War. Reduce the casualty death rate in the UK from as high as 40.00% to [-]%.

This point, those Chinese nurses can also do it.

"Hire a few Boolean nurses, and let Boolean nurses take care of the wounded British soldiers." Rock didn't want to cause trouble. Don't expect the British soldiers to have a high moral bottom line these days. Many of them were rotten people and scum. He joined the army because he couldn't get along in society. Roque didn't want Chinese nurses to have anything to do with the wounded soldiers of the British army.

Don't forget, Johannesburg is still under military control, so if something unbearable happens to the wounded British soldiers and the Chinese nurses, Roque will have nothing to do with the wounded British soldiers. To make up for the harm done to Chinese nurses, Rock will never let Lynn's tragedy happen again.

Therefore, the best prevention is to prevent Chinese nurses from contacting British wounded soldiers at all.

"Okay!" The gratitude in Colin Bellamy's eyes was fleeting. Now we are in the most difficult period for the Boers. Almost all British companies do not recruit Boers. Rock's doing so is objectively the same. Helping the Boers.

As for whether the Boer nurses will have anything to do with the British patients when they take care of them——

In the precarious age, it is better not to think about these things, but to be able to survive first.
