Great Doctor Without Borders

On Saturday morning, Xu Chunliang accompanied his grandfather to the Qingshan mining area by car.

Dongzhou was a resource-based city in the past. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Dongzhou, known as the Hundred Li Sea of ​​Coal, produced a total of one billion tons of coal, making an extremely important contribution to the economic development of Pinghai Province.The local industrial structure and people's lives are all based on coal and extended.

However, with the depletion of coal, the former pillar industries have declined. The chemical industry, metallurgy and other industries have a heavy structure and overcapacity.Negative problems continue to emerge, such as air pollution and land subsidence; infrastructure lags behind, and there are a large number of industrial and mining areas in the city.

Dongzhou began digging wells and building mines in 1882, and there were more than 250 at most. Coal mining subsidence areas and quarrying rock mouths have become ecological scars in Dongzhou.

Like similar resource-exhausted cities, Dongzhou has reached the threshold of transformation. After entering the 21st century, Dongzhou Guozheng's development concept ushered in the city's rebirth.

The Qingshan mining area has also adapted to local conditions and started to develop all-for-one tourism. Using the topography of the local subsidence area, Qingshan Lake was built, and the landscape was upgraded on the basis of the subsidence area. At present, it has successfully won the title of AAAA-level scenic spot.

However, there are still many workers in the mining area who live in a difficult life. They belong to the bottom of the society. After experiencing the turmoil of layoffs and buyouts, more than half of the workers who make a living in coal mines have been pushed to the society and have to face the problem of re-employment. Among them, only a small number of people are successful, and most people are struggling to survive on the line of food and clothing.

Xu Changshan would go to the Qingshan mining area almost every once in a while. Every time he came, he would bring a lot of traditional Chinese medicine and provide it to some old patients for free. Today is no exception. Two large colored striped woven bags are full of Chinese medicinal materials. Xu Chunliang Following behind grandpa, holding two big woven bags, it looks like a returning migrant worker

In a special era, Xu Changshan was sent here for a period of reformation, and because of this, he forged a deep friendship with the local people.

Time flies, and almost 50 years have passed without knowing it. Many of the friends I knew back then have passed away. Xu Changshan is getting older and older, and he can no longer bring as many traditional Chinese medicines as in the past. However, Not so much now.

When I got off the bus at Qingshan Mining Workers’ New Village, I found that demolition was also taking place in the surrounding area. As the city continued to move eastward, this place was also included in the municipal planning. After the Qingshan Lake renovation project was completed, many real estate developers bought land nearby for development. Residential houses, a new round of construction is in full swing.

Xu Changshan looked at the real estate not far away and said with emotion: houses are being built everywhere, I don't understand, what's the use of building so many houses?With the industrial and mining industries gone, where will the common people get their income?Without income, how can I get the money to buy a house?
Xu Chunliang smiled and said: This is called industrial upgrading, you can do other things without mining.

Xu Changshan sighed. When the 80s was the most prosperous time, both sides of this road were small vendors doing business, and there were several restaurants, stretching for more than 200 meters. Now the street can be seen at a glance, and there is only one early shop in the two empty spaces. .

The two came out early, and before they had time to eat, Xu Changshan suggested to eat there.

The old man ordered the local specialty pancakes and mash. In fact, this kind of breakfast is also sold in Dongzhou City, but the taste is still not as authentic as here.

...

During the meal, an old man walking around came in. Seeing Xu Changshan, the old man hurried over to say hello: Mr. Xu, you are here!
The old man's name is Yang Jianguo, and he used to be a local coal miner.

Xu Changshan said with a smile: Lao Yang, how are you doing recently?

Yang Jianguo nodded again and again: Since I took the medicine you prescribed last time, I have never had a stomach problem. You are always a miracle doctor.

Xu Changshan laughed out loud, and Yang Jianguo bought some breakfast and came to sit with them: Mr. Xu, are you here to deliver medicine again?
Xu Changshan said: I haven't been here for a while, I remember a few old friends, so I came to have a look. By the way, where is Lao Lu who often plays cards with you?
Yang Jianguo's expression changed: "Let's go."

ah?When did it happen?

Just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, I am 85, happy and mournful.

Xu Changshan touched his lips. Old Lu was his workmate when he came down to reform.
He is very caring, he is also an old diabetic patient, and his family life is difficult. Xu Changshan will come to see a doctor and deliver medicine to him every once in a while.

Yang Jianguo said: "There's nothing to be sad about. Everyone has this day. Now more than half of our worker's village is old people. The young people have gone out to work hard. Who still stays in this dilapidated place? If there are more old people, there will be more white things." ...

Before he finished speaking, a trumpet sounded from outside, and Yang Jianguo said, "Lady Wei also left last night, do you remember?"

Xu Changshan nodded again and again. I remember, of course I remember. Mrs. Wei is very kind. When he was reforming, he also helped him put on quilts and make cloth shoes. her medicine.

Xu Chunliang saw that his grandfather's mood was greatly affected by the death of the two old people, so he changed the topic and said: "Grandpa Yang, when we came here just now, we saw demolition around us?"

Yang Jianguo nodded again and again and said: No, Qingshan Lake commented on the 4A scenic spot, saying that our surroundings have become scenic spots. If we want to build a water street or a folk village, the surrounding area will have to be demolished.

Xu Chunliang smiled and said: Then go to the new house.

I can't afford it!Yang Jianguo shook his head, and then remembered to ask about the relationship between Xu Chunliang and Xu Changshan. He thought it was Xu Changshan who brought up the apprentice, but he didn't expect it to be his own grandson.

Talking about his grandson, Xu Changshan was full of arrogance, and told Yang Jianguo that his precious grandson was now the director of the branch of Changxing Hospital. Although I didn't seem to take Xu Chunliang's position seriously at home, he praised him a lot outside.

Yang Jianguo praised: "Jiangmen Huzi, you are so young and promising, come to my house for lunch, let's have a drink or two?"

Xu Changshan said that after delivering the medicine to the old patient, he turned around and left.

After the father and two have finished eating, they will go ahead.

The two old friends Xu Changshan originally wanted to deliver the medicine to both passed away, and his mood was affected. When he was passing by the old lady Wei's house, Xu Changshan took a look at it from afar, but he didn't go there. The old patients are gone, in fact, I don't know if I can come.

Life is like this, there are always people who have to go first, Xu Changshan thought of Gu Houyi's invitation again, although the conditions were good, but after going there, he was faced with a group of old people, wouldn't he have to face this situation every once in a while , as a doctor, seeing people around him dying one by one, and being powerless, what kind of sadness should this be.

...

Thinking of this, Xu Changshan suddenly felt dull, he said to Xu Chunliang: Chunliang, I don't plan to go to Kangjian Hospital.

Xu Chunliang took a moment, the conditions given by Kang Jian were not unreasonable. Grandpa had already cooperated with them before, why did he suddenly change his mind?Xu Chunliang pondered for a while, and immediately guessed that he must have been hit hard by the successive deaths of old friends today.

It is true that old people can take care of each other in groups for the elderly, but there is also a problem that cannot be ignored. Entering an elderly care institution enters a special environment, which is separated from the normal society to a certain extent. More importantly, their age composition determines, They are more frequently exposed to death than in the family.

Xu Chunliang said: "If you don't want to go, don't go. It's not that I can't afford you. Besides, your body doesn't need anyone to take care of it now."

Xu Changshan pursed his lips. His grandson's words made him feel comforted from the bottom of his heart. Although his children were not around and he didn't understand him, his grandson was really kind. He must understand what he was thinking.

Xu Chunliang said: You can't be idle anyway, why don't you think about it and do me a little favor for Uncle Zheng.

Xu Changshan immediately shook his head and said: Don't even mention it, I won't cause trouble for you.

When passing through the No. [-] building of the old dormitory, a man came out from it. The man was tall and strong, with an old lady on his back. It was Zhou Meng, a forest ranger from Qinglong Mountain.

Zhou Meng went downstairs to bask in the sun with his mother on his back. He didn't expect to meet Xu Changshan's grandfather and grandson and said in surprise: Mr. Xu, why are you here?

Xu Changshan said with a smile: You used to live here?

Zhou Meng said: My mother's house.He put his mother down.

Since Zhou Meng prescribed Huoxue Yanggutang from Huichuntang last time, the effect has been remarkable after giving it to his mother. The old lady was very resistant to surgery, and she completely gave up the idea of ​​surgery after the symptoms were relieved.

Now the old lady is able to walk, but Zhou Meng is still worried about her going up and down the stairs, and he carries her on her back every time she goes up and down the stairs.

What Xu Changshan admired most was a filial son. Although he had not known Zhou Meng for a long time, he could tell that he was a filial son.

The old lady's surname was Liu, and when she heard that Xu Changshan was the old Chinese medicine doctor who prescribed her medicine, she quickly expressed her gratitude to him. The common people expressed their gratitude in a very simple way, that is, to invite the old man to eat at home.

Xu Changshan couldn't help laughing. He said that he just had breakfast, and since he met him, he asked about Mrs. Liu's condition.

Mrs. Liu feels much better. Since taking the medicine according to the doctor, the pain that tormented her in the past has disappeared. You must know that she was in so much pain that she couldn’t even get out of bed. She is not afraid of anything but dragging down her son. Because the family conditions are not good, so far I have not even mentioned a daughter-in-law.

She got such an illness again, seeing her son going to work and taking care of herself, Mrs. Liu really couldn't bear it. Before that, she had thought of death, and if he died, it would be over once and for all, so as not to drag the child down.

Xu Changshan asked her to walk a few steps, the old lady obviously had short legs when walking.

The usual symptoms of osteonecrosis of the femoral head are hip joint pain, limited mobility, and in severe cases, long and short legs may appear, which is the clinically known limp gait.

Necrosis of the femoral head is a clinically common disease, which is generally difficult to treat and occurs in middle-aged and elderly people.
