The movement to abolish old rituals has been going on, and he also talked about a very intuitive issue, money-driven.
Because of financial reasons, some people began to ignore circumcision. In the face of money and etiquette, the poor aborigines would certainly have the most appropriate choice, and speaking in the general direction.
Only with social and economic development can this old and vicious ritual be gradually eliminated.
Asang patted Zhou Sheng's shoulder and comforted him: "Brother, I know you are a kind person, but it's not worth getting depressed over this kind of thing. You are foreigners and can't change anything. Just keep an open mind on everything."
Being in this big environment, with eyes and ears exaggerating, Asang can certainly see clearly.
But for people like Zhou Sheng and others who have lived in modern society and received a good education, it is really difficult to adapt to the huge contrast for a while.
Because you can't imagine that there is such a stench in this world.
A man kills the people closest to him with a knife, but says it's for his own good.
All right.
Even in China, such imposition is still happening, but at least it is not as cruel as it is in reality.
evening.
A few people started preparing dinner.
After nightfall, the forest becomes a restricted area. Even the primitive tribesmen are unwilling to set foot in the jungle after sunset. The delivery of medicines can only be postponed to the next day.
The atmosphere at dinner was not pleasant. Even though Asang tried his best to create an atmosphere, Zhou Sheng, He Congshuang and Dan were not happy.
Waiting is the most painful thing.
All three of them are worried about the same thing...
Will other children suffer tonight?
A sleepless night.
Early the next morning, after checking the patient's condition, Zhou Yisheng prepared to set off again with He Congshuang. However, before setting off, he was stopped by Dan: "Zhou, let me go and take a look, I have to protect Delia."
Regarding the safety of the lady, even if you didn't say it, I can probably guess that her mood will not be too stable and she will act irrationally, so I have to take care of her."
Indeed, when they came back last night, both Zhou Sheng and He Congshuang deliberately covered up the confrontation scene when the incident happened.
Dan could guess that it was not a surprise. He and Ms. Delia had been getting along for many years, not to mention that he also knew the situation of the tribe well.
Zhou Sheng wanted to go, but he couldn't refuse Dan and could only choose to stay.
So, after saying goodbye, He Congshuang and Dan embarked on a journey into the jungle, and all the patients in the Gray Worm Department's inpatient room were left in charge of Zhou Shengsheng and Asang.
The prognostic recovery of the six surgical patients is very good. The two orthopedic patients need not worry the least. The hand bone correction patient can already walk, eat normally, and take care of himself, while the other has a calf bone fixed with a steel plate. The completion degree of the surgery given by the system
The assessment is level A. It is best not to go down to the ground, avoid collisions, and simple limb rehabilitation can be considered after two or three weeks.
Among the four cases of abdominal surgery patients, the most serious one was colon stone obstruction.
The surgical process is high-risk, including the long recovery period after the operation, but the level of relief given to the patient is also considerable. When weighed later, the fecal stone weighed more than 40g, which sounds insignificant, but the patient himself understands it deeply.
The swelling and sinking feeling in the stomach are gone, and the pain is almost negligible.
As for the last three cases of appendicitis, all of them were able to get off the ground and support their beds and walk.
Appendicitis surgery is the least invasive and provides the fastest recovery.
Surgery emphasizes that the smaller the trauma, the better, to avoid infection and facilitate recovery. Therefore, laparoscopy, minimally invasive surgery, etc. were later born. Western medicine is indeed a blessing to mankind by treating patients' illnesses with minimal damage.
noon.
Only two people ate.
Asang said: "In three days, I want to send a few appendicitis patients back first. Their families are also waiting anxiously. Since there is no big problem, it will be the same if they go back to my health clinic to continue recovery, but I think their
It seems that he will recover soon."
"What do you plan to do? Continue to stay here? But Aka, what will happen to Nodra?"
Speaking of the Chinese medicine team, Zhou Yisheng certainly cannot rest assured.
When I came out, I had given all the instructions I could, but it was inevitable that some difficult illness would arise and I would need to be in charge. Besides, I was nominally their teacher, so it would not be appropriate to be absent for such a long time.
"It will definitely take some time to transfer the orthopedic patients, so let's put them here first. Delia, Dan and Rebecca will wait until one of them is free before I leave. Maybe after three days, we will
We can go back together and calculate the time. The medical supplies should also be delivered. After I settle down the medical team, I can bring the things and new patients."
The charity assistance fund has been finalized a long time ago. Two million kwanzas will be provided to each patient, which is enough to bring great help to the patients. The hospital is a profit model, and they do not care about remuneration and use the most affordable medicines and equipment. This money
Can have a great effect.
"But, aren't you too tired from running in both directions like this? The journey back and forth is not far."
Zhou Shengsheng didn't know what he was thinking: "Don't worry, you will take me two more times. I will note the route and I will drive back and forth by myself in the future."
"Oh, that's not what I meant." Asang smiled shyly, his expression told Zhou Sheng... Then I felt relieved.
He also has his own affairs.
What's more, he is now obsessed with Chinese medicine and wants to get involved with Aka and Nodra.
Zhou Sheng had promised earlier that as long as he wanted, he could go to the capital to study Chinese medicine after the medical team assistance plan. This was a rare opportunity, and he really wanted to seize it.
The next three days.
Life is lazy and boring.
Nobby sometimes comes to chat with Zhou Yisheng and practice her English, but there is really nothing to talk about between the two of them, and her language skills do not support long-form communication.
Asang, on the other hand, is 100% passionate about Chinese medicine. In the entry-level stage, holding the Chinese medicine teaching book compiled by Lao Mo that he brought was enough for him to digest. So far, there is nothing he doesn’t understand, and he needs to be born on Monday.
Guidance.
Therefore, most of the time, Zhou Sheng could only sit in a daze on the porch chair at the door of Dan's room, or look through Ms. Delia's medical information.
In my heart, I can't help but think of things more than 20 kilometers away.
How is the situation?
Are there any other children who have suffered misfortune?
Little Zhou Tongshoe, who grew up in the greenhouse, found it difficult to calm down about this matter.
Even though he kept repeating his grandfather's words in his mind...
The world is too big.
All we can do is be ourselves.
According to the plan, Asang drove away on the morning of the third day and took away three patients undergoing appendicitis surgery. The patients were all in high spirits, and even those who could not leave were gradually regaining their vitality.
From the uneasiness when arriving, to the joy of leaving, and the alternation of death and life, everyone felt as happy as if they had gone through hell.
Before leaving, they would inevitably give instructions and leave messages to their families.
Then, Asang left: "Take care of yourself, I'll go back and rest for a day, and come back the day after tomorrow to bring you some supplies."
The only person who could speak also left, and the shadow of loneliness suddenly wrapped around Zhou Sheng's body.
He didn't know when Delia and others would come back.
But that night, a surprise came.
Dan, He Congshuang, and Delia returned to the Gray Worm Department together before sunset.
Brought good news.
"The children's condition is stable. After receiving the tetanus vaccine, there will probably be no danger." Delia informed the situation and then said to Zhou Sheng: "In addition, there is one more thing I want to discuss with you.
…”
"I want to take over the circumcision surgery project of the Mule tribe and several surrounding tribes. I hope the cost can also go to the subsidy account. You also know the cost. A small external excision will not cost too much."
Zhou Shengsheng was slightly stunned, and what was lingering in his mind was what He Congshuang had said before...
Is this good or evil?
He Congshuang also looked over at this time. They must have discussed it: "At least, they will not die, at least the children no longer need to panic and fear the tragedy in front of them..."
What you give can never compare to what others need.
yes.
At least, the children don't have to worry about death.
At least, the children can feel less pain now.
In the face of all this, do good and evil still matter?
