I am Emperor Wanli

Chapter 817 Luan Steel Workers Hospital
Wan Ruyi pulled his second son and said to the four people, "Yes, Mr. Shu, four gentlemen, this is our Luanzhou Iron and Steel Group Staff General Hospital."

Leon pointed to the roof and asked, “Then is the sign on the roof unique to your hospital?”

"That's it."

"It's different from what we see in hospitals elsewhere."

Shu Youliang said: "This is a confusing account."

Everyone turned to look at him.

"Master Shu, what's the confusing account?"

"The Imperial Hospital and the Ministry of Rites' Medical Administration Department originally wanted to unify the logos of hospitals and clinics across the country so that the people could understand them at a glance. The first one they chose was the medicine gourd, which means to heal the world with a medicine bottle."

Hu Yinglin and Wang Shisong nodded, that was the truth.

"But this medicine gourd is similar to the wine gourds in many taverns. Many people will ask, are you a medicine gourd or a wine gourd? Is it a clinic or a tavern?"

That makes sense, Wan Ruyi nodded repeatedly.

“It’s hard to make sense. I don’t know how the Imperial Hospital and the Medical Administration Department came to a consensus, so everyone just does their own thing.

Some represent medicine gourds; some draw a round core, indicating that it is an apricot, a master of medicine; some draw a circle, indicating that it is a tiger-supported bell passed down by Sun Yaowang; and some draw a yin and yang five-color ring, representing yin and yang and the five elements.

The military rescue team requires simplicity and ease of identification. It cannot be too complicated, so they simply draw a thick red horizontal line to remind everyone to be careful.

But your Luangang Hospital"

Shu Youliang pointed to the sign on the roof and said, "Very good, a medicine gourd with a tiger-shaped bell on top, representing medicine, and yin and yang on the bottom, representing medicine. It's complete, very good.

I heard that the emperor and the cabinet are busy with too many important matters and don't have the energy to deal with such trivial matters. But there must be a unified logo. I think your Luangang General Hospital's logo is very good. Maybe it will become the unified logo of Daming Hospital and Health Center."

Wan Ruyi laughed loudly, "If that's the case, that's great. Our Luanzhou will once again become famous throughout the world and go down in history."

He took the second boy and led the five people up the stairs.

There are gentle concrete slopes on both sides of the steps, leading directly to the front of the building.

There is a cantilevered corridor about thirty to forty meters long on the front of the building, with the gate in the middle.

There is a side door about 20 meters on the left, with a sign hanging on it that says "Emergency".

A carriage drove up the gentle slope and stopped in front of the emergency side door. Several people in light blue and white clothes were busy. The group watched them lift a stretcher from the back of the carriage, put it on a tall and thin four-wheeled cart, and hurriedly pushed it into the "emergency" side door.

The six people took a closer look and found that the carriage was different from ordinary carriages. It was not black, but light blue. There was a logo of Luangang General Hospital painted on each side. Above the logo was written three big red words "Ambulance", and below the logo was written "Luanzhou Iron and Steel Group Staff General Hospital".

The "license plates" hanging on the side and back of the carriage were also different. It was not the "Luan-100xx" commonly seen on the streets of Luanzhou, but "Luan-006 Rescue".

"ambulance?"

Marcelo and Leon had been in Ming Dynasty for so long, but this was the first time they saw an ambulance at such a close distance. Before, they had only seen it flash by on the streets of the capital.

This was a rare opportunity, and the two asked questions that had been in their hearts for some time.

"Why call the ambulance?"

Shu Youliang asked nonchalantly, "Just call me if you have an emergency."

"Come to the hospital to call?"

Shu Youliang was stunned. "You mean your family member got seriously ill and ran to the hospital panting to call for an ambulance?"

Marcelo asked back: “Isn’t that so?”

"Calling an ambulance like this will waste a lot of time. If there is a delay, the patient will get cold and can be buried directly without emergency treatment."

Marcelo and Leon looked at each other. Could it be that the Ming people had other ways?

"Master Shu, how do you usually call an ambulance?"

"Call through the police building."

"Police building?"

"Yes." Shu Youliang turned his head and glanced at the Luanzhou Iron and Steel Group factory area, as well as the Luanzhou urban area, pointing at the tall towers standing in the distance, like thin chopsticks stuck in the ground.

“See those towers?”

"Yes. I remember there are some in the five cities of the capital and the urban area of ​​Shanghai."

"Yes, they all have them. They are police towers. A thousand years ago, there were police towers in Chang'an, Tang Dynasty, and Bianliang, Song Dynasty.

At that time, it was called a watchtower. There was one in each block. Someone would keep watch on it day and night. If they saw black smoke or fire in a residential building, they would immediately sound the alarm and the fire brigade and the soldiers would be dispatched immediately.

The Ming Dynasty followed and improved on this practice, dividing the urban area into grids and zones, and building police towers. The fire department sent people to watch with telescopes day and night. If they discovered a fire, they would call the police and the nearest fire brigade would be dispatched immediately.

When Pan Fengwu was appointed as the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, he improved the police tower and added more functions. For example, if someone in the area fell ill, they would go to the nearest police tower for help.

The police building immediately passed the message and sent information to the nearest hospital.

See? There is a lookout at the highest point on the roof of the general hospital, which is specifically responsible for receiving information sent by the police building and then dispatching an ambulance to the place where help is needed.

It saves so much time right away.”

Marcelo and Leon nodded repeatedly, "So that's how it is."

“This police tower has other functions. For example, if a theft occurs in this street or neighborhood, and the residents raise the alarm, the police tower will send a signal to the nearby patrol teams, pointing out the location of the thief and the route of his escape.

During the day or at night, when people are at home or encounter something on the street, they can run to the bottom of this police tower. There is an alarm bell below, and if you shake it hard, the duty officer above will summon the patrol team and come down the stairs to intervene.

"How does the police building communicate with the fire station, hospital and police department?"

"They wave flags during the day, use lights at night, and send flares in an emergency. That's about it. I don't know how to do it in detail, but they have a complete set of methods that are quick and clear."

Marcelo exclaimed: "Master Shu, I never thought that your country's urban management is so advanced and amazing."

Shu Youliang waved his hand modestly, "Haha, that's easy to say. The main reason is that we have a long history. Before the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an had 108 wards and a population of one million. If it is not managed well, it will become a big quagmire and a stinking pit.

As time goes by, you will gain experience. It's a small matter, not worth mentioning."

The five people followed Wan Ruyi and his son into the main entrance of the hospital building. Marcelo looked up and saw the three big red words "Outpatient Department" were particularly eye-catching.

There is a large hall as you enter.

There is a row of windows on the right hand side. Above the window is written "Registration and Payment Office", and below are window numbers such as "No. 1" and "No. 2", a total of six.

There is a note above window number 1 saying “Emergency Department Special Service Window”, and there is a note above windows number 4, 5, and 6 saying “Inpatient Checkout Window”.

Only windows one to four were open, and there were four rows of people in line, with only four or five people in each row, young and old, male and female.

There were six rows of chairs nearby, with about ten people sitting sparsely on them. They all looked pale and like patients.

Wan Ruyi pulled the second child straight to a circular counter on the left and asked the female nurse sitting behind the counter.

She was in her thirties, wearing a light blue top, navy blue trousers, and her hair was wrapped in a cloth similar to a folded futou.

"Excuse me, my child is ten years old and has a runny nose and headache. Should I see the pediatric department or the internal medicine department?" The female nurse raised her head and glanced at Wan Ruyi, who was wearing the uniform of the Security Department. "The child is only ten years old?"

"Yes."

Wan Xianjin, who was standing nearby, made another "slurp" sound and sucked the two snots that were about to reach his mouth back into his nostrils.

"Pediatrics."

"Okay, thank you."

Wan Ruyi bowed to the five people and said, "Sorry, I have to go make an appointment."

"You're busy, we'll look around."

Wan Ruyi was at window number two and it was soon his turn.

The person in the window asked without even looking up: "Name?"

Wan Ruyi leaned his head over the window grille and replied, "Wan Xianjin."

"age?"

"Ten years old."

The person inside raised his head and glanced at Wan Xianjin who was beside Wan Ruyi.

"unit?"

"The primary school of Lu Gang's children's school."

"What subject did you pass?"

"Pediatrics."

"The registration fee is five cents."

Wan Ruyi handed in a five-cent copper coin, which was stamped with two seals. He then handed out a form with his name and age information written on it, with a matchbox-sized paper ticket on it.

The five people took a quick look and saw that the form said "Medical Record" and the receipt said "Pediatric Registration Ticket", with a date stamp on it, "050518".

Wan Ruyi held the document in his left hand and held the second boy in his right hand, "The pediatric department is on the second floor."

"Everyone, let's go up to the second floor."

The group walked up the stairs to the second floor. The hall here was much smaller, with a corridor on each side and a counter in the middle where two female nurses were sitting.

Wan Ruyi stepped forward and handed over the medical record and registration ticket.

After the female nurse took it, she took out a form, checked it, and handed over a bamboo sign.

"Number 16, answer when your number is called. You can go there to rest." The female nurse pointed to the four rows of seats next to her.

Everyone sat down on the chairs and looked left and right, especially Marcelo and Leon, who felt that everything was magical.

Leon asked in a low voice: “It’s quiet here.”

Shu Youliang replied: “Of course the hospital is quiet.

Marcelo sniffed, "There's also a weird smell."

“The smell of disinfectant.”

At this time, a group of children came up, led by two teachers and followed by a nurse.

There are about twenty children, a dozen boys and five girls.

They were all only eight or nine years old, and their clothes were of various styles.

Some wore traditional clothes, while others wore the same uniform as the children's school. They lined up honestly, looking around curiously, but did not dare to speak loudly, and only whispered in their ears.

The teacher walked back and forth from time to time, making sure they did not run around or talk loudly.

The nurse who brought them here talked to a doctor who came over.

The doctor was easy to spot because he was wearing a white robe, a white round cloth cap, and a latex tube stethoscope around his neck.

The content of the two people's conversation came through intermittently.

"The students of the Qinglong River Ranch School of the Luanhe Agricultural Reclamation Bureau, come and help us apply the flower killer"

"Okay, how much is it in total?"

"Twenty-two."

"Okay, take it to the Child Prevention Department first. I'll make the arrangements."

The children were led down the right corridor into a large room.

Marcelo and Leon looked at each other. What kind of flower remover? Still need to take it?

how to spell?
Do all children in Ming country need to be beaten?

Marcelo asked curiously, "Master Shu, what is the flower remover?"

Shu Youliang rolled his eyes and laughed, "Flower-removing agent is a good thing! It was invented by Li Yaowang and is specially for children. After eating it, you will be strong and healthy, and everything you eat will taste delicious. You will grow up healthy and strong."

Marcelo looked at Shu Youliang.

Uncle Shu, the way you act makes me feel like everything you say is full of nonsense!

Wan Ruyi said at the side: “Master Shu is right.

Flower remover is a good thing, specially prepared for children. However, it is not taken orally but injected. Just one injection will make the child healthy and immune to all poisons, allowing them to grow up healthily.

All the children of Lu Gang's school were vaccinated last year, but this year it was the turn of the children of the farms and ranches of the Luanhe Reclamation Bureau to be vaccinated."

Marcelo became more and more suspicious as he listened, and continued to ask: "Captain Wan, how do you use this flower remover?"

Shu Youliang laughed and took over the topic naturally, "The children are taken to the hospital by their teachers. Or the doctors and nurses from the hospital form a team and go to the school to get the vaccine.

Lao Wan, as a parent, just like us, has no idea how to fight. "

Wan Ruyi chuckled, "Yes, my child got beaten up at school, and we don't know how he got beaten up."

Before Marcelo could speak, Shu Youliang asked again.

"Captain Wan, the medical skills of your Luanzhou Hospital are still not as good as those in the capital."

Wan Ruyi got the hint, glanced at Marcelo and Leon, and said with a smile: "What Master Shu said is definitely not as good as what the capital said.

The capital has the Beijing General Hospital, the Imperial Hospital, Li Yaowang, and Wan Shenyi. Can our Luanzhou compare? Not at all! But Mr. Shu, you probably don’t know that our Luanzhou Factory and Mine Hospital also has its own specialties. "

Shu Youliang was amused, and crossed his right leg. "What's your specialty? Your arm specialty?"
