The next day, Su Mian gave the villagers a physical examination. She had already discussed this earlier with Doctor Ma.
Doctor Ma was overjoyed and came over early in the morning after eating breakfast.
The sun shone brightly outside. After the New Year had passed, the temperature rose extremely quickly and even with bare hands, it was not cold.
Su Mian asked a group of kids to move a table out to the yard, then assigned some simple duties to Doctor Ma.
As this was Doctor Ma’s first time giving the villagers a physical examination, he was very excited. He asked detailed questions about what needed to be inspected and what he needed to pay attention to.
Su Mian spoke in great detail and said jokingly that it would be good if Doctor Ma could examine the villagers every year.
As a consequence, Doctor Ma actually agreed.
In the future, she would not be back often and when the villagers were sick, they would have to go to Doctor Ma. She gave Doctor Ma her handwritten notes for diagnosis methods and procedures for common illnesses.
These were all based on her own experiences during this period and there were also some ancient techniques. The medicinal herbs were all common plants that could be found growing in the wild, such as the plantain herb1 and shepherd’s purse2.
In fact, many remedies used common ingredients that could be found day to day. It was just that some were long lost and some had gradually been forgotten.
After she finished speaking, she brought out a notebook, “This is a set of Tai Chi moves that I saw in a book. I have already taught them to Su Jin Long and from now on, he can lead everyone and practice in the morning to improve and strengthen health!”
When the villagers heard this, they were overjoyed. Where did Su Mian get so many weird ideas from?
“This is really great. Now we won’t have to go to town when we have headaches or fevers!”
“That’s right, Su Mian, you’re really looking out for us!”
“Why are you just watching? Come, Liu Da, you’re first!” Doctor Ma pulled Liu Da over.
In this era, people in rural areas did not have high living standards and they did not know how to maintain their health. They just farmed all year round.
At this moment, a military jeep arrived and two soldiers brought over some simple medical equipment.
This had been sent by Zhao Bo. When she had donated the norovirus prescription to the Second Military Medical University last time, she had specially requested them from Zhao Bo. In the future, it would be much easier for the villagers to seek treatment.
Throughout the morning, Su Mian had detected several serious illnesses.
Liu Da’s grandfather had darkened areas in his lungs and Su Mian suspected that it was lung cancer. There was no effective treatment for this disease even in the 21st century, let alone in this period of time.
Su Mian felt helpless and even though the tower space was in her hands, she could not do anything.
Right now, she could only hope that Grandpa Liu found this out early and could control the cancer effectively.
Sigh, there were times when even the medical tower space was powerless!
[What are you sighing for? Who said this could not be cured?] Wen Wen appeared at this critical moment, propping up his big head and leaning towards Su Mian.
“Why did you come out?” Su Mian grabbed his hand, trying to push him back but not knowing how.
Wen Wen chuckled, then told her, [Look at you fussing about. I can make myself invisible now, only you can see me.]
Only then did Su Mian breath a sigh of relief. Raising her head, she saw that none of the villagers had been paying attention to her. “Just then, you said that this could be cured?”
Wen Wen whipped open his fan with an arrogant expression. Su Mian knowingly gave him 100 kindness points. Wen Wen received them and said, [Grandpa Liu is still in the early stages and the cancer cells have not spread yet. You can perform surgery on him!]
As soon as he said this, Su Mian’s mood lifted a little bit.
However, she was worried that because Grandpa Liu was 80 years old, she did not know if he would survive through it.
Su Mian unintentionally glanced at the door and saw that Xiao Liu Zi was peeking around. Su Mian recalled that he had already been examined.
“Xiao Liu Zi, what are you doing over there?” Su Mian smiled and waved at him. She knew Xiao Liu Zi well. He did not have a bashful personality, so what was wrong with him today?
