"You don't have any plans to return home these two days, do you?" the old military doctor suddenly asked a very irrelevant question.
"We originally planned to stay for a few more days, but it's hard to say now. If this is not eczema but a parasitic fish, we still plan to return to China for medical treatment..." Hong Tao didn't quite understand what the old Chinese doctor meant.
"Oh, I think your condition may need to be observed for two more days. You can stay on the boat for two days. We are going to the upper reaches of the Negro River for a medical tour. We will pass by here in two days. We will drop you off on the way.
At the Big River Inn
, I will talk to Ananya so that he does not have to follow us." The old military doctor also came over and looked at the red spots on Hong Tao's arm, then patted Hong Tao's shoulder and said kindly.
"Ah! We still need to observe it for two days! But we...if it is really a parasitic fish, how much does it cost to treat it? We are here for tourism and we don't have much cash with us." Hong Tao felt cold all over after hearing this.
Well, from what this old military doctor said, he might actually be a parasitic fish. Who has ever heard that eczema requires hospitalization?
"It's free! Except for the use of special drugs, we are all free. Don't worry too much, just observe and observe. Even if it is a parasitic fish, there is nothing to be afraid of. This disease occurs among locals here every year. As long as it is discovered early,
A small operation
, there won’t even be any scars. Silva, come and arrange their beds, and tell Anaya to go back to the hotel first.” The old military doctor smiled and comforted Hong Tao and Sturgeon, and then continued
I said a few words to the Silva military doctor and then went out.
"Who is this?" Hong Tao asked Silva, pointing to the old military doctor who walked out.
"This is the captain of our hospital ship. He is a commodore and his medical skills are very good. As long as he says it's okay, it will definitely be okay. You can live here with peace of mind. By the way, tell me about your fishing.
Things, I am also a fishing fan, but unfortunately I am not as lucky as you. The Brigadier and I often
I have caught a lot of other fish when I go fishing, but I have never encountered such a big fish. What kind of fishing rods and hooks do you use? Where is the bait?" The Silva military doctor did not seem to be aware of Hong Tao's condition.
He didn't care much, but was more enthusiastic about fishing, and kept asking Hong Tao about their fishing process.
After about ten minutes, Fatty Bu was sent back by a female soldier. At this time, he had changed into a pullover hospital gown, and he had a cotton ball on his arm, which was obviously for blood testing.
"Fat man, how are you?" Since Hong Tao was having a lively chat with Military Doctor Silva, Sturgeon went to check it out for the second time. Hong Tao asked Fat Man Bu in a low voice in Chinese.
"That female nurse is very pretty. She put some ointment on my back, and now it's not so itchy." Fatty Bu smiled dirtyly.
"You're so generous! I was asking how the examination went? Who asked you if the nurse is pretty?" Hong Tao was so angry! But thinking that Fatty Bu didn't know about the parasitic fish, he forgave him.
"I just drew some blood. I also did an B-ultrasound, and then put some medicine on me. Nothing else. I couldn't understand what they were saying. Why don't you ask this doctor." Fatty Bu was a little strange.
Why is Hong Tao a little nervous?
"The doctor said we have to observe on the ship for two days to check whether he has contracted tropical skin diseases." Hong Tao simply did his best to be a good person and knew about this parasitic fish by himself. Until the test results came out, it was better not to do anything.
Tell Fatty Bu and Sturgeon.
"Oh, that's good. The ward here has air conditioning. Just stay for two days. I haven't been to the hospital on the ship yet." Fatty Bu didn't feel worried at all when he heard that he was going to be hospitalized.
On the contrary, he was quite happy. He probably could only think of the little nurse and could not think of anything else.
"Second piece of shit!" Hong Tao cursed secretly as he looked at the look on Fatty Bu's face.
Sure enough, as Fatty Bu said, the ward here is very comfortable. There are two people in a room. Not only is it air-conditioned, but the three meals a day are nutritious meals, and there are also various fruits to eat. Fatty Bu and Sturgeon live in the same room.
Hong Tao lives alone in their diagonal door. The doctors and nurses do not restrict their activities. Unlike lying in the ward, they can walk to the deck and watch the scenery by themselves. If they don’t want to eat in the ward, they can also go to the officers’ mess and
The doctors had dinner together.
Most of the female soldiers and nurses here are pretty and decent-looking. There are more than ten of them, most of them are black and white, and two are blond and white. When they are not on duty, they all wear training uniforms, and their upper bodies are khaki.
A crew-neck shirt, with both shorts and camouflage trousers underneath.
But when they are on duty, they will change into light blue nurse uniforms. This kind of dress is a dress with no buttons on the upper body, a large V-neck, and the skirt of the lower body reaches above the knees. Girls in the tropics develop early, and every day
When they come to the hospital bedside to take their temperature, they can see clearly through the collar as soon as they lower their body. If they catch up with bending down to pick up something, the curve of the collar can also make people think about it.
Hong Tao cannot be said to be a veteran of Hua Cong, but he is also well-informed, and there is no language barrier with these female soldiers of the Brazilian Navy, so he became familiar with them very quickly. These female soldiers were also very interested in the sudden arrival of three Chinese people on the ship.
Curious, no matter whether he is on duty or not, he is always willing to run into the ward, and the military doctors don't care when they see him.
Hong Tao's language is not a problem here, but he has a problem in his heart. Whenever he has distracting thoughts, he will think of Sam's expression when he handed Irene's hand to him in the church. In addition, he always thinks about it.
Because of the parasitic fish thing, he is not very interested in these girls. He just chats and laughs, but he doesn't hint anything to the other party, and he pretends not to see the other party's hints.
The situation on Fatzibu's side was completely different from that of Sturgeon. Although Sturgeon's English was a little inferior and Fatzibu couldn't understand a few words, they were more proactive and proactive. Since they suddenly boarded the boat, they didn't bring anything with them, only 2 cameras and
A video camera, so the two brothers used the video camera as an excuse to hang out on the hospital bed with a few female soldiers and nurses on or off duty to watch videos. There was not only a video of Brazil, but also Argentina.
Moreover, these two were both bachelors. They didn't have Hong Tao's worries. They were still chatting and laughing on the first day, and then started fighting on the second day. Hong Tao saw with his own eyes that Fatty Bu sneaked out of the cabin with a little nurse in the middle of the night. He didn't know it.
Why did he go? When I asked him the next day, he actually said he went to admire the moon. Who would believe it?
This hospital ship of the Brazilian Navy sailed upstream along the Negro River. Every time it reached a tributary, it would sound its whistle and then continue moving forward. Hong Tao also asked the little nurse with whom he had the best conversation.
Ania, she said that hospital ships pass by here every year during this time, and blowing the whistle is to remind the residents living in the tributaries that the hospital ship is coming, and then those residents will wait at the entrance of the tributaries in the next few days.
, you can see a doctor when the hospital ship comes back.
In fact, in addition to the Brazilian Marine Corps, several other departments of the Navy also have hospital ships, some of which are equipped with helicopters. Compared with the Marine Corps’ hospital ships, those are more formal and advanced. The Marine Corps’s
The medical ship is just a formality, treating people if they encounter them. If they don't encounter them, there is no need to force them. As long as they circle the river within the specified time, the mission will be completed.
Because the Amazon River Basin is so large, almost all transportation depends on waterways, and the residents here are very scattered. Therefore, the governments of Brazil and Amazonas are also having a headache here. There are only 7, 8, 9, and 10 days of public services here every year.
In 4 months, hospital ships can be sent out for medical treatment. Once the rainy season arrives, this place becomes a land of marshes. Many rivers are connected together, and many residents have moved to other places. You can't find it even if you want to.
arrive.
Hong Tao and the others followed the hospital ship for a whole day, and did not arrive at their destination until dinner the next day, a small town called San Gabriel. This is the upper reaches of the Negro River.
, 200 kilometers away from the Grand River Hotel in Anaya, and just over 100 kilometers away from the border between Venezuela and Colombia.
Further up the Negro River waterways, such large boats cannot be driven, and the residents are very, very sparse. The Indian tribes in the rain forest do not believe in doctors, and they prefer to let their gods solve their illnesses.
There are only about 40 households in the town, most of them are of Indian descent. Most of them live in stilt houses by the water, and basically live a self-sufficient life. Fish and cassava are their staple foods, and they are grown in the rainforest.
Tropical fruits are their source of vitamins.
Since this is upstream, the water level does not rise too much when the rainy season comes, so they do not have to move often and live a relatively stable life. However, they are all living in poverty, and the most valuable items are probably their houses and boats. The people here
In fact, I don’t really believe in doctors. When they have a headache or fever, they chew coca leaves. No matter how serious their illness is, they go to pray to God. They are not enthusiastic about the arrival of the hospital ship.
Looking at the adults and children standing on the shore or in the water, Hong Tao felt that it was particularly unreal. The eyes of those people were like looking at aliens. They neither disliked nor liked them, but just stared at your every move with so much confusion.
One move.
When Hong Tao first saw a few naked children playing in the water, he took out the candies he stole from the ship's restaurant to tease them. Unfortunately, no matter how he shook the colorfully packaged food in his hand, the children couldn't stop themselves.
She didn't even show a greedy expression, she just looked at him blankly.
"You are treating me like a fool!" After shaking for a long time, Hong Tao finally understood that it was not that the children themselves were of high quality or that they were just eating, but that they simply did not know what they were shaking in their hands. (To be completed.)
