Chapter 249 Terrible pneumoconiosis

Early this morning, before Gong Qiushi arrived at the county government, he received a call from the director of the hospital, Huang. He told Gong Qiushi a very bad news. Immediately, Gong Qiushi didn't even enter the office, and turned around in a hurry to the hospital.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the hospital, he saw someone crying and screaming in grief. Gong Qiushi's mood suddenly became heavy, and a sick face appeared in his mind. Their desperate eyes , The thin and dull cheeks were deeply imprinted in Gong Qiushi's mind.

Anxin County is a well-known poverty-stricken county. There is almost no decent industry, but there are many large and small stone workshops. They were very prosperous in the past few years, and all kinds of processed stones were sold to some big cities. recession.

At the beginning of taking office, Gong Qiushi also thought about expanding the stone industry in Anxin County, but after some investigation, he found out that the stone materials in Anxin County have no special characteristics, they are just ordinary stone materials, and the processing technology is very primitive and backward , there is not much competition at all.

There are some young laborers working in these large and small stone factories. Working in the harsh environment, they inhaled a lot of dust. In the early days, they didn't feel anything. In the past few years, some problems have been exposed one after another. .

More and more people are diagnosed with pneumoconiosis!
After Gong Qiushi took office, he sent someone to make a statistics. There are more than 500 people diagnosed with pneumoconiosis in the county, and more than 100 of them have reached the third level of pneumoconiosis. These people cannot be cured with modern medical standards and methods. , was basically sentenced to death.

Pneumoconiosis, also known as black lung disease, also known as pneumoconiosis, silicosis, and sand lung disease, is a lung fibrosis disease.Patients usually stay in places full of dust or garbage accumulation for a long time. Due to inhalation of a large amount of dust, the alveoli under the terminal bronchi will accumulate dust. After a period of time, changes in the lungs will cause discomfort and form fibrosis.

Anxin County does not have a specialized hospital for this kind of disease, and severe pneumoconiosis patients are all admitted to the county hospital. Gong Qiushi has only been in office for less than three months, and this is already the fourth death from the disease.

At the entrance of the hospital, there was a young woman wearing a white cloth and a white dress, crying very sadly there. Beside her, there was a little boy whose tears were still wet. The others should be their relatives.

After getting out of the car, Gong Qiushi saw this scene, especially the little boy who was only eight or nine years old, and felt very sad. He wanted to go forward to say something to comfort him, but he found that the traffic jam was panicked and he couldn't do anything. Unable to speak.

He paused, glanced at these people, he sighed softly, and had no choice but to walk past these people.Even after entering the hospital, the sound of mourning still came.

"After our medicinal materials industry and tourism industry are fully developed, the stone industry in the county needs to be integrated. If this continues, it will definitely not work. It will only increase one case after another of pneumoconiosis, rather than contributing to the economic growth of the county. what to contribute."

Really sad, Gong Qiushi stopped after walking for a short distance, and said to the driver who was following him: "How much money do you have on you, take it all out."

Although the driver didn't know what this meant for the time being, he still took out his wallet and took out all the money in it, which looked like five to six hundred yuan.

Gong Qiushi also took out all the money on his body, about more than 1000 yuan. He gathered all the money and handed it to the driver, and said: "Give this money to them, remember , don’t say I gave it to you.”

The driver nodded, took the money, turned around and went to the gate of the hospital, and handed all the thousands and hundreds of dollars to the weeping young woman.

Director Huang was already waiting for Gong Qiushi in the hospital. When he saw Gong Qiushi approaching, he hurried over and said in a very low tone: "County magistrate, we have tried our best, but we still failed to save the patient's life. It's the second case this month."

Gong Qiushi said: "It's not your fault. Pneumoconiosis is a world-class problem, not to mention that they still have third-level pneumoconiosis. Alas, just hearing such news makes me feel extremely heavy. We still have more than 100 people in Anxin County. A third-grade pneumoconiosis patient!"

More than 100 cases, that is more than 100 lives, how can he relax as a county magistrate, every time he thinks of these more than 100 patients with third-grade pneumoconiosis, he is very stressed.

Sometimes, Gong Qiushi would think that it would be great if they could all be cured.But he knew that this was basically impossible, and it was just wishful thinking.

More than 100 cases of third-grade pneumoconiosis, involving more than 100 families, many patients are in their prime of life, some are old and some are young.It may be as short as a few months, or as long as one or two years. These more than 100 families will lose their sons, husbands, or fathers.

"Old Huang, you have worked hard, using the best medicine and medical methods to prolong their lives as much as possible." Gong Qiushi urged.

Since there is no cure, they can only prolong their lives at all costs, let them stay in this world for a few more days, and see their wives, children, and parents more.

Dean Huang nodded, and then suggested: "County magistrate, most of the stone workshops in our county have poor working conditions. This is the main source of pneumoconiosis, and it must be rectified. Otherwise, the pneumoconiosis patients in our county will only die." There will be more and more."

"I'm already thinking about it." Gong Qiushi replied.

Then, he asked again: "How is Niu Pengfei's situation? Is his life in danger recently?"

Dean Huang knew who Niu Pengfei was. He was the cousin of Niu Dachao, the mayor of Qingshan Township.

Dean Huang said in a low voice: "Niu Pengfei's condition is not optimistic. He is often hospitalized in our hospital. He underwent lung washing last month. His condition has improved a little, but the improvement is very limited. I can only guarantee that he will last a little longer. , There is no problem for two months, if I want to live another year or half a year, I am not sure."

"Is that so..."

Gong Qiushi pondered, and Niu Dachao appeared in his mind. Among so many township chiefs and mayors, besides Liu Sheng, he admired Niu Dachao the most.

Eat hard, be willing to do practical things, and be courageous in doing things...
Gong Qiushi exhorted: "Pay more attention to Niu Pengfei's situation and try to prolong his life. Hey, we can only do our best and obey the destiny."

Then, Gong Qiushi inquired about other pneumoconiosis patients, and Director Huang also gave Gong Qiushi a more detailed report.

Among the guest houses.

After Zhang Chi heard what Gong Qiushi's secretary had said, he looked shocked. He didn't expect that there were so many pneumoconiosis patients in the beautiful Anxin County, and one died this morning.

It's incredible.

After a long time, Zhang Chi said: "Go back and tell County Magistrate Gong that he is busy and don't need to accompany us. Today we will go to Shimen Town to check the procurement of medicinal materials. We will return to Nanjiang City this afternoon or tomorrow morning at the earliest. "

"Okay." The secretary replied: "Chairman Zhang, do you need me to send someone to take you to Shimen Town?"

Zhang Chi said: "No, we have our own car. Besides, we have been to Shimen Town before, so we are no strangers. I am familiar with their mayor, Duan Jinlin."

"That's fine, Chairman Zhang, then I won't accompany you guys. I'm going to the hospital to meet County Magistrate Gong. If you have anything to do, please call me directly, or call County Magistrate Gong."

"Go, go and get busy."

After watching Gong Qiushi's secretary leave, Zhang Chi looked at the time, waved his hand and said, "Come on, we can start now. We will go to Shimen Town this morning."

This time Tao Jun drove, Wu Ke sat in the co-pilot's seat, Zhang Chi sat in the back seat, and the big G left the guest house, left the county, and drove towards Shimen Town.

The [-] to [-] kilometers of gravel and dirt roads can be seen to be maintained frequently, and there are relatively few large pits on the ground. Such a road is completely a piece of cake in front of this big G. Tao Jun drives the car very fast. Sometimes, Tao Jun was not seen slowing down when turning a corner, and a lot of sand and gravel were splashed.

At about nine o'clock in the morning, the big G arrived at the gate of the Shimen Town Government. There was a sudden sound of brakes, and the car stopped steadily.

It can be seen that Tao Jun's driving skills are top-notch, but his driving style is completely different from Wu Ke's.Wu Ke drove steadily and cautiously, while Tao Jun drove with speed and passion.

Knowing in advance that Zhang Chi is coming, Duan Jinlin has already greeted him at the door, "Chairman Zhang, you're here so soon!"

While saying this, he took a few steps forward and shook hands with Zhang Chi enthusiastically.In his eyes, Zhang Chi is definitely a distinguished guest in Shimen Town.

Shennongtang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. has set up a point in Shimen Town to purchase medicinal materials. In just a few months, it has purchased medicinal materials worth nearly 2000 million in Shimen Town, and the price is very fair, which has benefited many people in Shimen Town. Some ordinary people even took it out of poverty and had extra money in their hands.

"Haha, Mayor Duan, I'm sorry to disturb you."

The two sides shook hands, exchanged polite greetings, and then, Duan Jinlin invited: "Chairman Zhang, come and sit with me first, how about a cup of tea, I have a friend to introduce you."

"Oh."

Zhang Chi was slightly curious, and agreed: "Then go and sit with you."

Anyway, it's still early, so let's take a rest first, drink a cup of tea, and then go to the medicinal material purchase site to see the procurement of medicinal materials. In addition, Zhang Chi also wants to see who the friend Duan Jinlin is going to introduce is.

At Duan Jinlin's invitation, Zhang Chi, Wu Ke, and Tao Jun walked into the gate of the town government in Shimen Town and walked towards Duan Jinlin's office.

As soon as he entered Duan Jinlin's office, Zhang Chi saw a man about 40 years old inside. This should be the friend Duan Jinlin said he wanted to introduce to Zhang Chi through Duan Jinlin.

.......
That's all for today's update, thank you all.
