Boundless benevolence

The car was driving on the plain, and there were few people.So when a figure appeared in sight, the two people in the taxi were a little surprised.

As the car approached, the figure gradually became clearer.A local man was seen waving his arms vigorously, desperately trying to get their attention.He was dark and thin, young, and at his feet lay a woman who was also thin, with only a bulging abdomen—obviously she was pregnant.

The taxi driver didn't dare to make up his own mind, so he turned to look at the owner of the passenger sitting in the back seat, saw the latter nodded, and then stopped the car.He poked his head out, and after talking to the man in the local language, he turned around and said to Li Shixi in English: "He said his wife was about to give birth, and asked if we could take them to the hospital."

"It's about to give birth?" The man frowned. His professional habits made him immediately open the car door and get out of the car. He walked to the side of the woman. As soon as he squatted down, he saw a puddle of water under the woman's body—the woman's amniotic fluid had already broken.

"How far is the hospital from here?" the man asked the driver.

"It's less than an hour's drive."

"It's too late, her amniotic fluid has already broken."

The husband on the side obviously didn't understand English, and listened to the conversation between the two in a daze.After the driver translated it to him, the man understood the seriousness of the situation. At the same time, the pregnant woman's painful cries were louder and louder.The man looked at the bewildered little husband, then at the pregnant woman, hesitated and said to the driver: "Tell him for me, I am a doctor, if he believes me, I can try to help his wife Delivery."

The driver quickly translated the words, and the black husband was overjoyed when he heard it, and gestured to help his wife quickly.

With the consent of the family members, the man acted immediately.He went back to the car and took off his backpack, took out a blanket from it, and threw it to the husband: "Help me spread it under the mother!" At the same time, he took out the mineral water in the backpack and immediately Start washing your hands - the conditions on the wasteland are limited, and cleaning can only be done to this extent.

Over there, the husband had already hugged his wife onto the blanket.The man put a piece of clothing over the woman's lower body and said to the woman, "Take a deep breath."

The woman's painful cries resounded on the wasteland.

When he first saw the woman, the man knew that the delivery would not be smooth, because the woman was too thin.Early marriages are common in African countries. This woman looks about [-] or [-] years old. In addition, she is thin and weak, and she obviously lacks strength. After struggling for a long time, the child's head still cannot come out smoothly.

"Exert yourself, take a deep breath." The man continued to encourage the woman, but the anxiety in his heart gradually increased-if this continues, not only the child will be suffocated, but the mother may also be in danger of life.In this wilderness, there is no equipment, and it is too late to go to the hospital... The man is anxious, and sweat is already oozing from his forehead.

"What's the matter? Do you need help?" The sudden English sound surprised everyone.It turned out that at some point, another car had arrived beside them, and an oriental man poked his head out of the car, and it should be him who spoke just now.

The man who was delivering the baby ignored the inquiry, and immediately lowered his head and continued to work.The driver saw the obvious "Doctors Without Borders" sign on the car, and he was overjoyed.

"A woman is about to have a baby! Help her!" the driver yelled.

The people in the car heard this and immediately ordered the car to turn off.Soon, two men in MSF T-shirts ran out of the car.

The two people who got out of the car were Han Yujun and Roger.They were going to a nearby tribe to learn about the epidemic situation. Halfway through the car, they saw a car parked on the side of the road, and several people squatted on the ground. Guessing what problems they might have encountered, they stopped to ask. Unexpectedly, they happened to ask up.

"What's the situation?" Han Yujun squatted beside the man and asked in English.

The man raised his head and glanced at Han Yujun, and immediately understood that the person coming was from the same company: "The pelvis is narrow, the strength is insufficient, and the baby's head is stuck and cannot come out."

"Understood." Han Yujun turned around and shouted: "Roger, fetal head suction device!"

Roger immediately dug out something from his bag and handed it to Han Yujun.Seeing this, the man immediately switched seats with Han Yujun, and he himself asked Roger, "Is there any oxytocin?"

"Oh, yes!" Roger immediately dug out a box from his bag, and took out a medicine and a syringe from it.The man took it quickly, opened the needle and took the medicine quite familiarly, then squatted back to the mother and injected oxytocin into her body.

There is no communication, but they are very tacit.

A moment later, accompanied by a woman's hoarse cry, a baby's cry resounded loudly across the vast wasteland: "Wow———"

"Congratulations, it's a boy." Han Yujun said softly as he carried the baby, which had been handled simply, to his mother's head.

The mother who had just given birth looked at her child with a mother's unique relief on her frail face.And the child's father squatted beside his wife, hugging his wife's head, with a look of excitement and gratitude.

The warm picture of this family of three made other people present feel happy.

Han Yujun smiled, and turned to look at the man he had just cooperated with, only then did he notice that the doctor he had just cooperated with was also an Asian, with a slight smile on his handsome face.He looks very young, probably less than 30 years old, judging from his performance just now, he is definitely a doctor.

"Thank you just now." Han Yujun handed over a bottle of water.

The man looked at him, smiled lightly, and took it: "It's nothing, I saw it, I can't just ignore it."

"You're a doctor too? Where are you from?"

"Taiwan."

"Ha, I thought you looked Chinese just now, and I was right." Han Yujun immediately switched back to Mandarin, "I didn't expect to meet a fellow here. Let's get to know each other. My name is Han Yujun."

"Li Shixi." The man stretched out his hand—perhaps because he was influenced by media propaganda since he was a child, Li Shixi didn't have a lot of recognition for Han Yujun's so-called "same country", but he didn't have much disgust.After all, both of them speak the same language, and just now they cooperated in an operation.

"You came to Tanzania by yourself, for tourism?"

"Hmm." Li Shixi noticed the uniform T-shirt on the other party and asked, "Are you Doctors Without Borders?"

——Although I have heard the name of this organization a long time ago, it is the first time I have seen it with my own eyes.

"Yes, we are here for medical support." Han Yujun pointed in the direction of their car, "Our camp is over there, if you are interested, you can go and have a look."

"Not yet," Li Shixi smiled politely, "I still have places to go."

Han Yujun nodded in understanding.

At this moment, the child's father came over. He grabbed Han Yujun and Li Shixi and chattered a lot. Although neither of them could understand the local dialect, the ridiculous "thank you" made the two of them Still barely distinguishable.The two of them said "it's okay" about five or six times in a row before the child's father let go, but turned to Li Shixi, pointed at his wife and continued to make pictures.Li Shixi didn't understand what was going on, but the taxi driver at the side explained the confusion: "He said he was sorry for making your blanket dirty, and he can wash it and send it to you."

"Oh, no need, it's just a blanket, just give it to them." Li Shixi replied.He looked at his watch, then at Han Yujun and the others, and said, "Then the three of them, please send them to me. I have something else to do, so I'm leaving first."

"Wait a minute." Han Yujun stopped him, and he returned to his car, took out something from the trunk, and handed it to Li Shixi, "Your blanket is for them, this one is for you."

It was a brand new thin blanket with Doctors Without Borders printed on it.

Li Shixi shook his head when he saw it: "No need, it's just a blanket."

"Take it. The temperature difference in Tanzania is quite large, and the hotel conditions are also uneven. You should bring something yourself." Han Yujun stuffed the blanket into Li Shixi's hands without any explanation, "I think you are alone, travel attention Safety."

Li Shixi was startled for a while, then nodded: "That's fine."

"Goodbye, I wish you a pleasant trip." Han Yujun held out his hand.

"Thank you, and I wish you success in your work." Li Shixi also extended his hand and shook it back.

The taxi drove Li Shixi away, while Han Yujun turned around and planned to send the family of three home with Roge.Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, he saw Roger walking towards him quickly.

"Han, good news!"

"Huh? What's the matter?" Han Yujun was surprised. Roger was usually calm, but he was rarely so excited.

"That couple, didn't we just want to send them back to their village before going to the Tata tribe? But when I asked, I found out that they were from the Tata tribe! And that man was the son of the Tata tribe leader. Son. Haha, it will be much more convenient for us to talk to their patriarch now!" Roger explained with a big smile.

"Really? Then we are so lucky!" Han Yujun replied happily.He couldn't help turning his head again, looking in the direction where Li Shixi's car disappeared——

This time is really thanks to you, Dr. Li Shixi.

The author has something to say: I have seen some documentaries, and many pregnant women in Africa are really skinny. One of the most operations performed by Doctors Without Borders in Africa is delivery.Living in that kind of place really depends on whose fate is hard...

Speaking of Shoujun's nationality, I really struggled for a long time. It was set to be a certain country in Asia. Later, there were many disputes with us there, so I couldn't agree with it in my heart; but it was too fake to design it as mainland China. So I simply changed it to Taiwan.In fact, I once thought about changing it to the background of the mainland medical team, but then this story would have to be changed in many places, and it would no longer be the story I wanted to express, so this is the only way to go.
