My village can't be like this

Chapter 689 Wake up
On the way to the hospital, Zhang An drove faster than usual, but it was still within controllable range.

After all, there are so many people on the bus, so we still have to put safety first.

Especially in the past two years, the number of vehicles on the county road has increased, and we can no longer drive straight to Akina Mountain with just one step on the accelerator as before.

Fortunately, it was a weekday. As soon as Zhang An and his companions arrived at the hospital, a doctor immediately called a stretcher to treat the unconscious Yang Laoliu.

If it is Saturday or Sunday, when there are only doctors on duty in the hospital, it may not be the case.

Small towns are not like big cities, where there are enough doctors and nurses on duty 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

"Family member, come with me to register the patient's condition."

While the doctors were pushing Yang Laoliu to the emergency room, the young nurse next to them looked at them and shouted.

"I'll go, I'll go."

Yang Laowu spoke immediately, picked up Yang Laoliu's ID card and followed the young nurse.

"Please come over here, family members. Our doctors want to understand the situation."

The young nurse had just called Yang Laowu away when the doctor in the white coat called for someone else.

When Yang Laosan and Yang Laosi heard this, they ran up immediately.

At times like these, people are needed everywhere, and the advantage of having more people at home comes into play.

Apart from anything else, the fact that Yang Laoliu's three brothers were all there saved a lot of trouble.

Otherwise, if there is only one person, it would be impossible to run over.

After understanding the situation, Yang Laoliu was sent to the emergency room.

About half an hour later, the door of the emergency room was reopened.

At this time, Yang Laoliu was pushed out by the nurse, with many instruments already attached to his body.

"After first aid, the injured person's condition has stabilized. He will be transferred to the ward for observation. In addition, we found that the injured person had seven silver needles inserted into his body. Is the person who performed the acupuncture coming with him?"

After the examination, the doctors quickly discovered the seven silver needles that were inserted into Yang Laoliu's body to stop the bleeding.

Although there has been intense debate between Chinese and Western medicine in recent years, it is far from as intense as it will be a decade later.

For several doctors who have studied medicine, it is not difficult to see the role these silver needles can play.

However, because they had to carry out rescue in time, they didn't have time to take care of these things.

"I was the one who gave him the injection. The wound was bleeding profusely at the time, and due to the conditions at the scene, there was no way to stop the bleeding, so this was the only option."

When Zhang An heard several doctors ask this question, he immediately answered.

Because he had met so many doctors in later generations, Zhang An thought that these people wanted to clear themselves of responsibility first.

However, he was very confident in the injections he gave, so he was not worried at all.

"Oh, this. I thought it was an elderly senior who did it, but I didn't expect it to be so young."

When the doctors heard Zhang An admit it, they were stunned.

They didn't expect that the person who performed the acupuncture was not an old Chinese doctor in his forties, but a young man in his early twenties.

This was a bit beyond their expectations. Isn't it said that good Chinese medicine practitioners become more skilled as they get older? They only start learning Chinese medicine in their thirties or forties.

"We are going to clean and suture the wound of the injured person next. We may need your help. Of course, you just need to remove the needle."

But then they started discussing with Zhang An again, and their tone was more polite than before.

The decision was not made just because Zhang An was too young or because he was a family member. This might be because they sympathized with each other.

Moreover, the doctors in the county hospital were not familiar with this matter, so they did not dare to remove the needle blindly to avoid any unexpected situations.

After all, there are always differences between the Chinese and Western schools. Only a small number of doctors know a little about both. And those very few doctors who practice both are basically impossible to appear in small hospitals in counties in remote areas.

"Of course, just let me know when you want to pick it up."

Zhang An agreed immediately and readily. Not to mention that Yang Laoliu was from the same village as him, just because these doctors were so easy to talk to, he was willing to help even if they were strangers.

In the ward, Yang Laoliu was covered with instruments. The clothes that were covered with mud and water had long been taken off, and his body was all the color of iodine disinfection.

Although the person hasn't woken up yet, the doctors are very sure that he is fine and will wake up after a while.

Then the nurses pushed a dressing cart over, and the doctor who had just spoken to Zhang An prepared to start debridement and suturing.

The wound was very large, nearly ten centimeters long, and it was irregular. The bloody flesh inside had been turned outward a lot, and the bone was vaguely exposed.

If it is not handled properly, it may cause the patient to have difficulty walking in the future. Although it will not lead to paralysis or something, it is possible that the patient may become lame.

This situation is not something that the young nurses or interns in the county hospital can handle, so the doctor in charge needs to take action personally.

After getting ready, the doctor started by cleaning the wound, and only looked at Zhang An after the wound was clean.

Before he opened his mouth, Zhang An knew what he wanted to express, so he took out the silver needles from Yang Laoliu's body one by one.

When the seven silver needles were just taken out, a large amount of blood suddenly gushed out of the wound on Yang Laoliu's leg, which was completely different from the time before when there was no bleeding.

In fact, this is the same as what Zhang An had thought before. It is impossible to stop the bleeding of such a large blood vessel without using special methods. Otherwise, the blood would not be rushing out like water now.

Even though the bleeding stopped after he inserted the needle, that was just because he used the needle to forcibly seal the blood vessels near the wound, which does not mean that the bleeding can be stopped.

Moreover, it would be impossible for an ordinary acupuncturist to handle such a large blood vessel, because Zhang An used special methods when giving the acupuncture.

Unless it's someone like Zhang Yixing who is a Taoist master and has cultivated internal Qi.

The doctor had expected something to go wrong, but he hadn't imagined it would be this difficult.

But the needle had been removed, so he had to quickly stop the bleeding and then sew it up.

After all, the blood was flowing out, and he had no choice but to hold on tight.

About half an hour later, the wound was treated. Although it was only about ten centimeters in size, it required sixteen stitches.

After doing all this, Zhang An only saw him let out a long sigh and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Anyone could see that when the doctor was treating the wound just now, his attention was highly focused the entire time, as if he was performing some major surgery.

"Thank you for your hard work, doctor."

Zhang An was considered a family member, so he immediately thanked the family member. "Yes, yes, thank you for your hard work, doctor."

The Yang brothers reacted after hearing what was said and immediately bowed to the medical staff.

"No need to do that. This is what we should do. The patient is lucky. Judging from the film, there are no symptoms of bleeding in the body. He needs to be hospitalized for observation. My last name is Zhang. I am the patient's attending physician. If there is any problem, just come to me directly."

The other party waved his hands and spoke to Zhang An.

"If you want to thank someone, you should thank this young man. Without his acupuncture to stop the bleeding, I'm afraid the patient wouldn't have made it to our place and would have had an accident due to excessive blood loss."

When the Yang brothers heard what the doctor said, they looked at Zhang An with more gratitude in their eyes.

After all, not only did they help send the person to the hospital, but they also helped at the critical moment. In the village, this is the greatest favor of all.

However, the brothers did not express their gratitude, because words alone would be too perfunctory. After all, they were all from the same village, and there was still a lot of time in the future, so there would always be a chance to repay.

"By the way, little brother, what's your name? Your ability to stop bleeding with an acupuncture needle is amazing."

After explaining the medical instructions to the Yang brothers, Dr. Zhang spoke to Zhang An.

How to stop bleeding quickly and effectively in clinical practice has always been the biggest concern of doctors.

Zhang An showed them this skill today, and they were all stunned.

So Dr. Zhang immediately wanted to get to know Zhang An better, so that he would have someone to turn to for help if he needed it in the future.

"Hahaha, Doctor Zhang, you're too kind. I just gave you a few injections. It's not that exaggerated. My name is Zhang An, and we are considered relatives."

A sedan chair is carried by everyone, and more friends open up more paths. Since others have shown kindness, Zhang An doesn't mind having more friends, especially those in the hospital.

Although he had learned some medical skills from Zhang Yixing, he would definitely have to find a hospital one day.

"Oh? That's true, but you're not just giving me a few needles. We have an old doctor specializing in acupuncture in our hospital, but even if he came, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to handle such heavy bleeding."

Doctor Zhang immediately shook his head. He could tell the difference between true and false.

He had heard of acupuncture to stop bleeding, but this was the first time he had seen such a large amount of bleeding being stopped.

After chatting for a few more sentences, another patient came, so Dr. Zhang had to give up. He and Zhang An exchanged contact information and went to see the patient.

After Zhang An finished talking with Dr. Zhang, he turned around and found Yang Laowu, who was panting and sweating, discussing with his two brothers.

"Third brother, the hospital needs to pay 3,000 yuan. We left in a hurry and only took more than 1,000 yuan. We forgot to take the passbook. You can go back with Zhang An later and get the passbook and come to withdraw the money."

Needless to say, that more than a thousand yuan must be all the cash in their family.

And this is already a lot. Most people probably don’t keep so much money at home.

"Don't be in such a hurry. I have some money with me. You can take it and pay the money first. There's no need to run back and forth several times a day."

As soon as Zhang An heard the brothers' discussion, he took the initiative to lend them some money to pay their hospital bills first.

Although the hospital is not unkind, it is possible to submit the payment later after discussion.

But now it’s almost dark, and people are running back and forth on the road. Not only is it tiring, but it’s also unsafe.

Although the phenomenon of robbery in the mountains has become less common nowadays, it still exists.

"Then I'll borrow some money from Anzi first, and I'll send it to you as soon as I get the money tomorrow."

Yang Laosan was also afraid that if he paid the money too late, the hospital would not pay much attention to his brother. After all, the man had not woken up yet, so he immediately decided to borrow some money from Zhang An first.

In fact, their family situation is not bad. In the past two years, not only has the harvest from the orchard been good, but even the Gastrodia elata that they have planted for several years has been very good. The brothers' family can be considered well-off.

Although the hospital fees this time are not a small amount of money, they can still afford it.

"It's not that urgent. Fifth brother, go and pay the money first. We'll make a phone call here so that our family can feel more at ease. It won't be too late for us to go back after Sixth brother wakes up."

After Zhang An gave the money to Yang Laowu, he took out his cell phone and said.

With such an incident happening to Yang Laoliu, the whole family must be worried.

You know, before Zhang An and others sent Yang Laoliu to the hospital, Yang's aunt-in-law fainted several times out of worry.

When the brothers heard what Zhang An said, they thought this arrangement was indeed the best and immediately nodded in agreement.

I called back and dialed Zhang An's home phone, because few people in the village had cell phones at that time.

Su Ying is always there, but it's still afternoon now, so she must be teaching students.

The call was made and it was Wang Fang who answered the phone. She quickly went to find the Yang family to answer the call.

Although she could help inform them, it would be better for the Yang brothers to tell them personally about this matter.

After hearing that Yang Laoliu was not in any danger, Yang Laoliu's family finally felt relieved.

Especially the aunt of the Yang family, who kept thanking all the gods and Buddhas, her ancestors, and of course, Zhang An.

Half an hour later, around five or six in the afternoon, Yang Laoliu on the hospital bed suddenly moved.

The first time he woke up, he turned over out of habit, before he knew he was in the hospital.

"Liuzi, this is a hospital, don't move, just lie down and rest."

Yang Laosi was sharp-eyed and worried that he would break free from the tubes and needles on his body, so he immediately went over and held him down.

After Yang Laoliu woke up, he was still very weak and couldn't speak. He just turned over subconsciously. It was difficult for him to struggle now. After all, he had lost so much blood that even the strongest person could not withstand it.

After they called Doctor Zhang over and examined Yang Laoliu's condition, they confirmed that he was fine. After all, his most serious injury was the part that was pierced by the bull's horn.

Although the bull's head hit him, it did not hit the most vulnerable part of the human body.

The next step is to be hospitalized for observation and rest well.

It was getting late, and Yang Laosi and Yang Laowu were looking after the patient in the hospital.

After all, it was the first night and Yang Laoliu had just woken up. It would be better if two people could take care of him together.

And Yang Laosan went home with Zhang An and would bring back some necessary things and money tomorrow.

Although the hospitalization fee has been paid, as long as you are in the hospital, you will need money every day, so you need to prepare a little more.
