Chapter 975: Seeking the Sutra (2)
After hearing Secretary Yan ask about the production team's rules for epidemic prevention and control, the team leader sorted out his thoughts and spoke carefully.
"Secretary Yan, if you're asking about ways to prevent the spread of the plague, our production team does have some.
But if you ask us how to cure the disease, we really don't have any.
There is no one in our production team who knows medicine, you know that.
Our production team had submitted several requests to the commune to send us a barefoot doctor who knew medical skills, but it was never realized.”
"If there's no doctor, how can we treat illnesses?"
Secretary Yan couldn't believe it. "Without anyone who knows medical skills, how did you come up with these methods to prevent the spread of the plague?
It can’t be something you just came up with on the spur of the moment.”
After looking at Secretary Yan's expression, the captain spoke again.
“That’s not the case.
I won't hide it from you. The rules and regulations our production team is using now were developed after we consulted a military doctor who was sent down from the cowshed.
Now the patients in the production team are also being treated by that military doctor.
But she was only suppressing the condition temporarily to prevent it from getting worse, waiting for someone from above to come and find a cure as soon as possible."
Secretary Yan couldn't help but frown when he heard this.
He thought that when they discovered the epidemic, they also found a cure, but no one would have thought that.
But think about it, he also knew that there was no barefoot doctor who knew medicine in the Red Star Production Team.
They had indeed asked the commune many times before to get a doctor for the production team.
But being a doctor is not that easy.
If someone has the ability, why doesn't he stay in the city instead of going to the countryside to suffer?
Just letting the people sent down to treat the villagers is not reliable. No one knows how good her medical skills are and whether there will be any problems.
Seeing Secretary Yan frowning, Secretary Xu thought he was dissatisfied with his decision and hurriedly explained,
"Secretary Yan, this is not our fault.
Our production team has not had a doctor for many years. We applied to the commune, but one has never been sent.
How can people not get sick if they eat a variety of grains?
There was no doctor in the production team, so we couldn't run to the commune or town every time we were sick. That would cost a lot of money.
We work in the fields all year round, but we don't make much money in total. That money has its own uses, and we can't spend it all on medical treatment."
"So you're looking for someone from the lower class to treat your illness. Aren't you afraid that she's a quack?
After all, no one knows how good her medical skills are," Secretary Yan said unhappily.
In order to prevent Secretary Yan from blaming them and Wang Xiulan, Secretary Xu could only speak harshly.
"We are just a bunch of poor people, what are we afraid of?
She was assigned to our production team and was under our jurisdiction. It is she who should be afraid, not us.
If she really has an emergency, there is no time to delay and send her to the commune clinic or town hospital. We might as well give it a try and let her have a try.
As for minor illnesses, there is no need to spend money to go to the commune, just let the person treat you.
Anyway, it was just a minor illness, and she didn't dare to make the patient worse or kill him.
If she really offended the production team, would she still want to stay in the production team? "
After hearing what Secretary Xu said, Secretary Yan glared at the two of them unhappily.
"I saw that you didn't report to the doctor again in the past two years. I thought you knew it couldn't be done and gave up the idea. I didn't expect that you found another way."
Upon hearing this, the captain smiled and said, "Secretary Yan, this is not the only solution.
There are too many doctors to come, so we have to consider the villagers.
Asking that person to treat the villagers would at most just give her some coarse grains and save a lot of money.
More importantly, it is timely, so that minor illnesses do not develop into major ones.”
"Aren't you afraid that she will do something bad?" Secretary Yan was a little worried.
"Secretary Yan, we have a long history of friendship, so we have to criticize you for this.
Why do you always think the worst of people?
He is already fifty years old and has been a military doctor all his life. You don't even know what a military doctor is. How can you harm us poor people?
If it weren't for her, the villagers in our production team would have suffered so much in the past two years.
I am not afraid to tell you that in the past few winters, thanks to him, no one in our production team has died of colds."
"Take this time for example, she played a big role in discovering the epidemic.
It was she who took the initiative to offer to treat the infected villagers.
As you know, many people have died from this disease.
Didn't she know the danger? But at this critical moment, she stood up. Doesn't this prove something?"
Secretary Xu grumbled in dissatisfaction, "Comrade Wang is such a good comrade.
If she hadn't been assigned to our production team by chance with her husband, she would have been a big shot that we would never get to meet."
Secretary Yan fell silent upon hearing this. What he said was not wrong.
It is indeed not easy to meet a military doctor in the army.
"Secretary Yan, Comrade Wang is truly a good comrade. We can trust her," the captain affirmed.
Secretary Xu warned, "Secretary Yan, just keep this to yourself, don't tell anyone else.
We don’t want to cause trouble out of thin air.”
Secretary Yan looked at Secretary Xu with disdain and snorted, "You just told me because you trusted me, and now you're asking me not to tell anyone else.
Your trust is not good at all."
Secretary Xu smiled awkwardly when he heard this.
"Don't worry, I'm not a big mouth and I won't tell anyone else.
Just be careful and tell the villagers not to spread the news.
Although I believe what you said, I believe that he is a good comrade.
It’s just that there are always some people who like to pick on others, and since this is a major issue like the plague, we can’t do anything rash.” Secretary Yan reminded.
Secretary Yan's words are not alarmist.
I remembered that he had just said that some troops had come to the town to investigate. With Zhou Zhiqing and Zhao Zhiqing here, maybe someone would come to their production team.
We really should tell the villagers to shut up.
"Secretary Yan is right. We have to explain this to the villagers," the team leader said seriously.
If there is no cure, Secretary Yan also needs a charter to prevent the spread of the epidemic.
He said to the two, "Then tell me your rules and regulations so I can refer to them."
"We have made quite a few copies. I'll give you one. You can take it home and read it slowly."
After sending Secretary Yan away, Secretary Xu whispered to the captain, "It should be okay to let him know, right?"
"It's okay, his character is still trustworthy.
Besides, if the plague is real, Comrade Wang has made a contribution no matter what.
Anyone with a conscience would not use this matter to embarrass her or us."
"But his reminder is correct. Let's talk to everyone and ask them to keep their mouths shut."
