‘Students’ selected from various places arrived at Rolda National Hospital.
Among the total ninety-six people, only half were herbal medicine practitioners from various places, and there were also many medical staff from primary medical institutions in various places. These people were already considered local intellectuals, so they naturally knew that this opportunity to learn was rare.
In addition, many local herbal medicine doctors are illiterate and conservative in their thinking. Even if the notification is sent to the corresponding tribes, they are not interested in participating in any learning activities. In many remote areas, herbal medicine doctors are the 'gods' of one or even several tribes.
The continuation of shaman culture is not only a manifestation of inheritance, but also the stagnation of ignorance.
Many primitive ethnic groups do not understand the concept of disease, and they still practice the custom of dancing to the gods, which infinitely enhances the status of local herbal medicine doctors.
Even though herbal medicine doctors are ignorant, compared to primitive ethnic groups, they certainly understand the benefits to themselves from maintaining their status as 'witch doctors'.
They are always the first to enjoy fresh wild animals and their furs. Even though they are far away from modern civilization, they have long been accustomed to such a life.
There is an old Chinese saying that goes well——
I would rather make chicken heads than phoenix tails.
The mountains are high and the emperor is far away.
In the local area, herbal medicine doctors are like local emperors, they live carefree and at ease.
In addition to the eleven Chinese medicine doctors including Zhou Sheng, Lao Mo also had to lead the team. The first foreign doctor of acupuncture was by no means a mere boast. Almost all the doctors in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine at the National Hospital were his students.
In this way, the ninety-six people were divided equally, and each person was divided into eight students. In addition, the apprentices from the Chinese Medicine Department of the National Hospital, each of them had more than ten students.
Groups are organized by region, and students from the same region or adjacent regions enter the same group.
Because diseases are regional, Western medicine has a concept called regional susceptibility, which means that a certain disease is concentrated in a certain area and is inevitably related to local living habits and environmental conditions.
Take Zhang Zhongjian’s group as an example...
All his trainees are from Malanje Province. Only two of the twelve trainees are from local primary medical institutions, and the remaining ten are all herbalists. You must know that herbalists only account for half of the total, and the current proportion is obvious.
It explains the problem very well.
Malanje is rich in hot water. The Malanje Waterfall is a must-see for tourists and is the second largest waterfall in Africa.
Therefore, the tropical rainforest climate harbors numerous dangers.
--malaria.
Malaria is common in Ankabine, and in Malanje Province, there is no other region in Africa that dares to compare with Malanje in terms of malaria.
There is a very interesting place...
The English word for malaria is ‘malaria’ and the English word for malanje is ‘malanje’.
The pronunciation of the two words is similar. It is impossible to say that it is a coincidence. The local malaria has become frighteningly common.
Therefore, the local herbal medicine doctors are considered to be the most powerful among all the students. They have to treat malaria for patients from various tribes, and without the assistance of modern medical treatment, they rely entirely on home remedies.
Adhering to the principle of those who are able to work hard, Zhang Zhongjian has taken on the important task of combating malaria, which also means that in future regional aid plans, he will go deep into the hinterland where malaria is common.
All the students in Zhousheng are from the province of Belon.
Coincidentally, Tang Aiyun's current location is Belon. Zhou Yisheng did not choose this area deliberately. The reason is that the dialect of Belon is difficult to understand. Five of the herbal medicine practitioners among the students do not understand English at all, and their daily communication can only be in local slang.
However, among the three disciples of Zhou Sheng, Aka came from the Beron Province in the northeast of Ankabin. Because his existence provided communication convenience, Zhou Sheng could only take over all the Beron students.
Lao Mo is a person who sincerely wants to do practical things. The process of selecting students is by no means a face-saving project. The ninety-six students cover all provinces in Ankabin. In other words, in more than half a month, the medical teams will depart separately.
Take local people to various remote areas alone.
Tong Han, Deputy Director Zeng is going to the central pastoral area.
Local people raising camels often suffer from falls and fractures. On the other hand, infectious diseases are common in pastoral areas. The two are the most suitable partners.
Kong Hongguang is the most unlucky person in Juchao. The Kuanku Desert is located on the southern border of Ankabin. Human beings have an innate fear of various extreme geological environments.
Seriously...
Now some people are beginning to regret participating in medical aid activities.
Although the resume after the completion is full, the arduous process involves personal safety issues, but in the end regrets are regrets. There is no way back. Unless they are willing to abandon medicine and change careers, official activities will never allow team members to give up halfway.
.
After three or four days of adaptation, everyone felt relieved.
In busy days, where is the time to mourn the spring and autumn?
There will be consultation, treatment, counseling, and in the evening there will be various group discussions to learn about the distribution of Chinese herbal medicine in various places, and do enough homework to prepare for the real practical battlefield.
For everyone, the only fun these days is Jack and the Barrel Steak Bar.
Although I can no longer be as crazy as before, the anesthesia of alcohol really relieves the tension.
Zhou Sheng started to like drinking.
…
It’s time to enter August.
It has been a full month since the medical team arrived in Africa, but the adaptation period to being in a foreign country has just begun.
I'm not used to the food and the climate.
The rest of the people from the south were fine. The climate in Lingnan was similar to that of Rolda, but it was difficult for Zhou Yi to adapt to the clear skies in the morning and the strong wind and rain in the afternoon.
Slan had long been familiar with the people in the medical team and often came over to have drinks on Jack's behalf. A group of Chinese doctors had long become regular customers at the steak bar.
Before getting off work, Silan came to the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine and invited: "Hey, you should set off next week, right? Professor Scott has prepared a practice wine for you, everyone must come!"
"Practice it? Isn't there still a week left?"
Slan shrugged: "I'm sorry, Professor Scott may leave Rolda before you do. There will be an African medical seminar in Cape Town, South Africa the day after tomorrow, which will last for a week. When you have already left, Scott
The professor may have just come back..."
The schedule was unlucky, so after the seminars in the evening, everyone went to their appointments.
Zhou Sheng brought Nodra and Akka with him. The two apprentices' learning level has improved dramatically these days. As a 'master', they should be rewarded, so he paid for today's drinks.
As for Aixidi, his learning progress is slow, and because of his cold temperament, he is a bit unsociable. Instead of being familiar with each other after getting along for so long, he has become more and more familiar.
Zhou Sheng greeted him, but he chose to refuse. The scene at that time was obviously not pleasant.
Nodra said: "Esidy may not participate in regional aid. He has been very depressed recently. He may feel that there is a gap between him and me and Aka, and his family prefers that he switch to Western medicine. I saw his drawer
There is information on medical schools in the United States..."
In this way, the truth will become clear.
If you are born on Monday, you don’t need to worry too much about this person, or feel embarrassed that you are not taught well.
When seeing Zhou Sheng's calm expression, Aka felt strange: "Teacher Zhou, aren't you angry? He is going to study Western medicine!"
"Why are you angry? I also practice Western medicine, have you forgotten?"
Aka and Nodra were both stunned. The long process of studying Chinese medicine had long made them forget Zhou Sheng's identity, and always put him into the role of a 'very powerful Chinese medicine doctor'. But in fact, their teacher was just a
They are just students who have just graduated from clinical Western medicine.
There was a party at the bar and everyone was happy.
At the end, Jack pulled Zhou Sheng to sit down in the booth in the corner: "The two patients you treated have been discharged from the hospital. They want to thank you, but you know this is not appropriate, so I can only convey it to you."
Since the emergency incident, Zhou Yisheng has not asked about the patient's condition. It is not convenient for outsiders to know the matter. Of course, he should hide it if he can.
Now that he has heard that the patient has been discharged from hospital, Zhou Sheng feels very relieved, comfortable and has a sense of accomplishment.
His little thought was seen by Jack at a glance: "How about I give you some advice? After your medical assistance is over, stay here! I am not asking you to settle down. I have a certain say in the Department of Surgery of the National Hospital. I can give you some advice."
You have enough space to study, so that your talent will not be wasted, right?"
Zhou Sheng was stunned, his pupils trembled. Such a suggestion, or invitation, had a huge impact on him.
He wanted to speak several times, but hesitated.
Jack was not surprised and raised his glass to touch the wine glass in front of Zhou Sheng: "Don't rush to answer, you have more than three months to think about it, you know? When I first decided whether to come to Africa, I thought about it for half a year, until I because of
I drank too much, spent all my savings, and couldn't afford a set of my daughter's favorite Barbies for her birthday. Then I realized that I couldn't live across the ocean without a job..."
"Of course, I heard that Chinese families are different from ours. You have family financial support and don't need to think so much... But because of this, you can devote yourself to studying."
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, let's drink!"
"Faq... I hated the seminar in Cape Town. There was a woman there who I didn't like very much!"
