Lin Yu's life of traveling through time

In the afternoon, Lin Yu followed Doctor Zheng to the ward. Normally, there weren't many people admitted here. After all, in this day and age, few people could afford medical care. So, it was mostly used for injections. But since it was a county hospital, there were still patients.

The patient in this bed needs a small injection today, so Doctor Zheng asked Lin Yu to come closer and observe carefully.

"Doctor Zheng, why are you giving me an injection and people are staring at me? It's so embarrassing." The young man on the bed scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Why should I be embarrassed? We are all young men. I am teaching people how to give injections. In the future, they will go back and benefit their neighbors."

"So that's how it is. Okay, then you see, I... I can just bear it." In fact, the young man was afraid of injections. It would be embarrassing if he couldn't help but jump up and screaming if someone was staring at him.

Lin Yu smiled soothingly and changed the subject, asking, "Why are you in the hospital?"

The young man said: "I have appendicitis. The doctor said to give me an anti-inflammatory injection and see if it works. If it doesn't work, I'll have to have surgery. I don't want to have surgery, so I'll just give him two injections and see how it goes."

As the two were talking, Dr. Zheng quickly disinfected the wound and inserted the needle.

"Hiss..." Lin Yu clearly saw the young man's anus and gritted his teeth to endure it. The hand he was holding proved that it was really painful.

Lin Yu also grimaced. The needle at that time was a steel needle, and the needle tip looked a bit thick. It looked painful when the needle was inserted.

The medicine was injected quickly, and the needle was removed. The young man pulled up his pants shakily and stood up with a limp.

"Don't rub it, it will swell and hurt more." Doctor Zheng instructed.

"Lin Yu, do you understand? There's only one place on the buttocks where you can give an injection. The injection sites for the buttock muscles are the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, gluteus minimus, and vastus lateralis. Don't inject randomly. Push the needle slowly, otherwise it won't be absorbed well and it will be very painful."

"Yeah, I see. I'll remember it."

"Okay, you can treat the other patient later."

Lin Yu was surprised: "Ah? Me? No, this... you're already good at it? How about I practice first?"

Doctor Zheng packed up the syringes and sterilized them at high temperature. He said, "The training period is only three months. How can you learn without practice? Practice is the best way to learn quickly. Okay, let's have another patient in. Take the other box of needles on the table and give them the injection!"

Lin Yu could only bite the bullet and call the patient in. He washed his hands, assembled the syringe, and prepared the medicine. Lin Yu looked at the needle with a sympathetic heart. He was also afraid of injections in the buttocks. This was also a trauma in his childhood.

Unfortunately, the person who came in was a father with his child. It was obvious that the one getting the injection was the child, who was about seven or eight years old, the age when cats and dogs dislike him.

Sure enough, when the child saw Lin Yu holding the needle, he started crying at the top of his lungs, trying to break free from his father's hands while covering his butt.

In the end, he couldn't escape. His father clamped his legs together and made him lie on his father's body, and then took off his pants and waited for Lin Yu to give him an injection.

Lin Yu took a deep breath, picked up a cotton ball with tweezers, dipped it in alcohol and gently disinfected it. The child's buttocks tightened and he cried even harder.

Lin Yu pinched the injection site to relax it, and quickly inserted the needle. With a "ah" sound in his ear, the child was held tighter by his father.

Lin Yu quickly pushed the medicine in slowly, rubbing it as he went along, and it took him a long time to finish pushing and remove the needle.

The child, with tears on his face and sniffling, grinned and mumbled, "Why doesn't it hurt so much today?"

Lin Yu chuckled. This kid was quite funny. Looking at him was just like watching himself getting an injection when he was a kid?

"Not bad, Lin Yu, you're doing it so well on your first try. That's pretty impressive. But after you've mastered the art of giving injections in the buttocks, you also need to be able to give people an IV. Come, let's see how to put on the bottle first."

"Okay." Lin Yu stepped forward and listened carefully to Dr. Zheng's instructions.

Over the next few days, Lin Yu was able to give injections and infusions to patients independently. Seeing that he was learning well, Dr. Zheng gave him opportunities to practice and, when prescribing medication, explained to him the dosage, types, and contraindications of Western medicine.

Lin Yu spent a week digesting the current dosage and types of medicines. While Dr. Zheng was treating patients, he was silently trying to prescribe his own prescriptions in his mind.

"Brother, we prescribe traditional Chinese medicine the most. Do you also prescribe Western medicine?"

"You don't have to prescribe Western medicine, but you have to understand that some people don't want to drink bitter medicine. What should we do? In the countryside, conditions are limited, and many people just go to the clinic to get two pills to save time. If you are very confident, you can prescribe Chinese medicine. We are also responding to the call to unite Chinese and Western medicine."

"I understand, senior brother."

"Well, in the next few days, if you need anything, you can prepare it. If you need money or tickets, just tell me."

"Thank you, Senior Brother. I have the ticket and the money. But if I need anything, I won't be shy with you."

"Okay. Feel free to ask any questions you have."

"Then please tell me more about encephalitis and how Western medicine treats it. I remember several children in our village died of encephalitis."

"Okay... Let me first tell you about the symptoms of encephalitis..."

One spoke seriously and the other listened attentively. Lin Yu spent his time learning constantly. During this period, he saved a person with his acupuncture. For this, Lin Yu was praised and the leaders of the hospital wanted to keep him. If it were not for the situation of the Red Star Commune, Lin Yu really would not be able to go back.

The three months passed quickly, and it was already autumn, with the weather being slightly chilly in the mornings and evenings.

After the assessment, Lin Yu was approved to graduate by the county hospital. Lin Yu solemnly thanked Dr. Zheng and the dean and left the county with his luggage.

Halfway through the journey, while no one was around, Lin Yu put the Chinese herbs and seeds he had bought during this period into his space treasure bag. Now that the treasure bag was once again filled with various supplies, Lin Yu finally felt a little more at ease.

Arriving at the commune, Lin Yu unpacked his luggage, bought some biscuits, candy, and malted milk from the supply and marketing cooperative, and then went to the health center to see Dr. Li. He had to thank him for the recommendation, right? He hadn't expressed it during his last trip to the county town, so now that he had finished his studies, he should show proper respect.

"Doctor Li. I've passed the training."

"Okay, okay, I'm glad you're back. What are you doing? You're here, so why are you giving me something? Take it back and give it to your parents."

"This is a thank you gift, please don't despise it. If you hadn't recommended me, I wouldn't have had this opportunity. It's just a small token of my appreciation. Consider it a gift from me, a junior, to show your filial piety. Please don't refuse it."

Seeing Lin Yu say this, Doctor Li accepted it without hesitation. "Xiao Lin, when you come back, veterinarian Lin Zhang will take up a room at your village brigade's clinic. You can arrange the rest yourself. As for medicine, the commune clinic will provide it for you, so you don't have to worry. However, you also know that the common people have little money and a weak sense of health. You barefoot doctors at the grassroots level should go out to the common people more often."

"I understand, Doctor Li. I just want to ask about the issue of Chinese medicinal herbs."

"The higher-ups will also have a share of Chinese medicinal materials, but most of them are picked and prepared by ordinary people themselves, and they can also be sold to health centers for purchase."

"Is it okay for me to grow medicinal herbs?" Lin Yu asked.

"Logically, all land is publicly owned now, and most people still grow crops. I'm afraid they won't agree to you growing medicinal herbs. You can try it on your own private plot. If you see results, maybe the commune will agree to allocate a piece of land for you to grow medicinal herbs."

"Okay, let's try it. Thank you, Doctor Li. I won't stay any longer. I haven't been home for three months. I have to go back to see my parents."

"Okay, walk slowly, and come to me if you need anything."

Lin Yu waved goodbye, got on his bike and rode quickly towards Dalin Village.
