Practicing business and practicing medicine

The old village doctor surnamed Mi was busy at the moment, so the two of them couldn't disturb him. There were benches and small tables under the old tree in the small square in front of the clinic, so Bian Mu and his friends just went there to rest.

At this time, Bian Mu looked at the specially paved open space in the small square again. The open space was rammed with river sand, and the bottom was probably paved with a lot of pebbles and gravel. The area was quite large. The surface looked very flat, and there was no debris piled on it. There was almost no trace of wheel marks.

"The river sand used in this place should be the fine white sand we saw just now. The old man is very impressive! I guess the old man would usually practice boxing and kicking here to stretch his muscles. If he didn't have authentic martial arts, there would be no need for the villagers to help him manage such a professional training ground..." Bian Mu thought to himself.

After being washed by rain, the soapberry tree seemed to grow more vigorously, with a large crown that looked more luxuriant and a large trunk that grew larger. Under the roots of the tree, the dark brown guard dog still looked the same, with pointed wolf ears and a pair of sharp eyes, staring at Bian Mu and his friends from time to time.

Bian Mu waved to the guard dog in a friendly manner. The guard dog, like an old acquaintance, did not bark, stood up and nodded gently to Bian Mu and his friends, and followed a diagonal line across the open space of the small square and directly into the village clinic along the gap between the flow of people.

Not long after, Bian Mu saw a little girl of eight or nine years old running out of the clinic.

"Grandpa invites you in!" The little girl ran to Bian Mu and reported with a smile.

"Grandpa Mi?" Bian Mu asked in a friendly manner.

"Yes! Tea is being made for you inside, let's go!" The little girl responded with a smile.

"What grade are you in?" Old Hou asked with a smile.

"Fifth grade, let's go! Grandpa Mi must be waiting impatiently!"

"Thank you!" With a polite word, Bian Mu and his friend followed the little girl to the main entrance of the clinic.

Unlike seeing a doctor in the city, since it's not the cold season yet, most of the patients waiting for treatment have a small stool to sit on, and there is generally a queue.

There is only one old village doctor named Mi in the clinic, wearing a white coat. It seems that there is no nurse post here. Seeing patients, prescribing medicine, and treatment... are all done by the old man alone.

However, it can be seen that there is a middle-aged woman in her early thirties standing next to the small square table near the window. She has almond-shaped eyes, thin eyebrows like the moon, black and shiny hair, a moderate figure, and elegant manners. She is standing there fiddling with the medical record book!

The infirmary is equipped with computers. Last time, Bian Mu found that it was connected to the Internet. However, it seems that the computer network application rate is not very high. The computer is turned on now, but there is no one in front of it. It is estimated that the old village doctor still practices medicine in the old-fashioned way decades ago.

"Since you are here, come and help! Xiaolian! Although he is young, he is very popular in the city! Famous doctor Lai! Your disease is related to the new environment in the big city, and he is the best! Xiaofang! Clean up the desktop, Doctor Bian will help me divert some villagers over there, don't worry! He is very good!" As he spoke, the old village doctor surnamed Mi sent the young female patient he was looking at to Bian Mu.

The young female patient looked about 18 or 19 years old. Judging from her attire and temperament, she should be a college student who has just enrolled.

"Mr. Mi! Is this... appropriate?" Unexpectedly, a slightly embarrassed expression appeared on Bian Mu's face, and he quickly replied.

"A famous doctor of the time, with complete formalities, superb medical skills, and first-class qualifications. He is a doctor who can help people all over the world. Who dares to say no? I have been seeing him for half a morning. My eyes are blurry. I am old and useless. Come over and help me. I will cook fish for you two at noon." At the end, the old village doctor was happy.

"Okay! But... I can only see the first diagnosis. You have to review it in the end, and you have to sign it in the end."

"Noob! As you say!"

Having come all the way, Lao Hou was thirsty. While the two were discussing something, he filled a cup of water from the water heater and let it dry.

When the middle-aged woman named Xiaofang saw Lao Hou taking the water, she quickly sent a middle-aged man to bring the tea to Lao Hou.

Xiaofang was very efficient, and the small square table was tidied up in a short while. Bian Mu guessed that the Miss Xiaofang in front of him was most likely a teacher at the village primary school, and she came to help the old village doctor with chores during her Sunday break.

Bian Mu remembered... the old village doctor's family lived near the village primary school, and they were all acquaintances. In the countryside, people valued human relationships the most, and they were used to helping each other in big and small matters. In this respect, it was much more humane than in the city.

Bian Mu nodded gently to Xiaofang, sat on the wooden chair and began to feel the pulse of the girl who looked like a student.

...

"Look at the information registered in the medical record book, student? Just a freshman, right?" Bian Mu asked with a smile.

"Yes! Lijin City College."

"What major?"

"Foreign Languages!"

"Major language?"

"German!"

"Very good. Did you choose English as your second major?"

"Yes!"

"You have persistent diarrhea. You have been having bad days and bad days. You have also ruined your appetite?" Bian Mu asked casually while scanning the medical records.

"Yeah! I always have diarrhea, and I'm not used to the food in the cafeteria... I get up early on Monday for the flag-raising ceremony. Other students don't feel cold at all in short sleeves and skirts. I wasn't afraid of the cold before, but it's strange that I became more delicate after going to the city. I always have a runny nose after the flag-raising ceremony. It doesn't seem to be a cold, and I don't take medicine. It will be fine on Thursday and Friday."

"Oh... It's nothing serious. Now, stretch out your hand and pinch your calf. Yes! I'll move a stool for you. You step on it a little bit. Yes, just like that!" As he spoke, Bian Mu got up and moved a small stool to the girl, and told her to step lightly on the stool.

Back at the examination table, Bian Mu continued to take the pulse...

"It's nothing serious, you just have some discomfort with the climate. Just now I asked you to raise your legs and feet a little higher, and your pulse immediately changed. In addition, you can feel it yourself. You are so young, but your calves are like you haven't eaten for several days, right? They are soft and limp."

"Really! This can be diagnosed by taking the pulse?"

"Almost! Does anyone here grow pumpkins?" Bian Mu asked with a smile.

"Yes! My grandma grows more than two acres of land!"

"That's great! Ask your grandma to collect more pumpkin seeds later, the more the better. You have a magical white sand here, can you get it?" Bian Mu asked.

"Too much is not enough. We promote the ecological project of green mountains and clear waters here, and we don't allow sand mining. How much do we need?" The female student asked back curiously.

"Three or five pounds is enough!" Bian Mu responded with a smile.

"That's no problem!"

"You can ask your family to use the white sand to fry the salt at home. What does frying mean? The salt grains should be yellow. It's better to use large salt grains for pickling pickles, so that you can see it more clearly. Then, use this sand salt to fry your pumpkin seeds. It's better to fry them until they are brown. After returning to the city, you can eat these fried pumpkin seeds every day. In two months at most, all problems will be gone. In addition, go out for a few laps every evening, and the confusion about the flag-raising ceremony will be solved." Bian Mu explained with a smile.

After hearing this, the female student was stunned.
