Chapter 52: stroke
I saw Lao Li leaning half of his body on the side of the firewood stack, slanting on the ground, with his eyes closed.
"Don\'t touch him yet, I\'ll take a look." Xu Shiyan stepped forward in two steps, pushing away the two people beside Uncle Li.
"I don\'t know what\'s going on with Uncle Li now, I can\'t mess with him, wait a minute."
As Xu Shiyan said, he came forward to check Lao Li\'s body.
Old Litou had lost consciousness at this time, his body twitched, and saliva flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Open the eyelids and look at the pupils. The pupils are as narrow as a needle point, and the pupils on both sides are of different sizes.
Breathing with obvious snoring, left body reflex disappears, pulse is rapid and disorderly.
"Quick, hurry to the house and find a sewing needle."
Xu Shiyan had a general judgment in his mind, and immediately sent someone to find something.
"Get another towel, soak it in cold water and wring it out for me."
It is reasonable to use an ice pack, but it hasn\'t been frozen yet, where can I get the ice? Just use a wet towel.
Anyway, the temperature is quite low at this time, and the water in the tank is ice-cold, so it works somewhat.
We all know that Xu Shiyan has some medical skills, better than the barefoot doctor in the village, so no one refuted his words, and people immediately followed suit.
"Third brother, here is the needle you want." Someone dug out a large sewing needle from the room and handed it to Xu Shiyan.
"New needle, I got it from the needle bag."
Xu Shiyan nodded, took the needle, stabbed Lao Li\'s nose hard, and then squeezed a few times, dark red blood beads came out.
Next, Xu Shiyan pierced Lao Li\'s earlobe and ten fingertips with a needle, and some dark red or even black blood was squeezed out.
Try the pulse again after bloodletting, and it feels a little more stable, not as fast as before.
At this time, a wet towel was also handed over, and Xu Shiyan hurriedly applied the towel to Lao Li\'s head.
"Let\'s set up the car. Uncle Li must have suffered a stroke. He has to be sent to the hospital. There is no cure in our village."
Stroke, also known as cerebrovascular accident, is divided into many types.
Cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral thrombosis, cerebral embolism, cerebral vasospasm, subarachnoid hemorrhage, etc., have different onset priorities and different symptoms at the time of onset.
Based on Lao Li\'s age and onset, it should be cerebral hemorrhage. So Xu Shiyan took the emergency treatment of bloodletting.
But this is only a helpless solution. It can only alleviate the symptoms, but cannot wake people up. They still need to go to the hospital for treatment.
Xu Shiyan spoke, and someone over there immediately set up a cart, spread bedding on the carriage, and then carefully lifted Old Li\'s head into the carriage.
"Come on, two people, come with me." Xu Shiyan was the first to jump into the car, and turned around to call for someone.
But I saw someone take a few steps back, obviously not wanting to follow to the hospital.
That’s right, if I go to the hospital this afternoon, my work will be delayed, and they are reluctant to part with their work points.
Naturally, there were also those who didn\'t care. Zhao Jianshe and Yang Chunming got into the car without saying a word.
Yang Chunming swung his whip and drove the carriage away with a snap.
The mountain road was rough and bumpy, and the carriage wobbled unhappily. Xu Shiyan was worried that Lao Li\'s head would also shake, which would increase the bleeding, so he kept supporting him with both hands.
The carriage returned to the village from Qianchuan, Zhao Jianshe rushed to the team headquarters, found his father Zhao Dahai, and took some money from Zhao Dahai.
The main reason was not to disturb Mrs. Li, for fear that the old lady would not be able to bear it alone and would faint.
Bringing the money, the three of them drove to the Xigang Commune.
When they arrived at the commune hospital, the doctors and nurses immediately sent the person for examination and rescue, while Xu Shiyan and others went to go through the formalities and pay the fee.
After a long time, the door of the emergency room opened, and doctors and nurses came out one after another.
"Doctor, how is the patient?" Xu Shiyan and the three stepped forward to ask.
"The patient is old and has high blood pressure, and it may be that he fell again, causing brain hemorrhage.
The situation is a bit serious. Fortunately, you took some first aid measures and sent it to the hospital in time.
Hospitalized for observation and treatment, it may take some time. Are you a family member of a patient? "
The doctor took off his mask and explained the situation to Xu Shiyan and the others.
"Not family members, we are all from the Dongjiangyan brigade. The old man has no children, and only one wife is 60 years old." Xu Shiyan explained.
"No family members? Then this matter is not easy to handle.
How about this, let our brigade give a certificate to explain the situation of the elderly, and the hospital should find a way to take care of it. "
The doctor is nice. When he heard that the old man had no children and only had a wife who was quite old, he immediately said that he could take care of him.
"The old man will have to stay in the hospital for at least ten days and a half months. Our hospital is also busy. Try to let the nurses pay more attention during the day. It is best to have someone in your team take care of it at night."
They all belong to a commune, and the doctor knows that the production team is busy at this time of year.
It is estimated that no one would be happy to delay work and come to bed with someone who is not relatives or reasons, so I came up with this method.
Xu Shiyan and the others have no other choice. If it takes a day or two, anyone can go all out and not earn work points, so come and take care of them.
But if it takes ten days and a half a month, it\'s really unbearable, after all, everyone eats based on work points.
"Jianjian, Chunming, you two go back to the village, talk to Uncle Zhao and Aunt Li, and see how they arrange it.
I\'ll take care of it here first. "There\'s no need for all three of them to stay, Xu Shiyan sent Yang Chunming and Zhao Jianshe away.
Zhao Jianshe and Yang Chunming drove the carriage back to the village and told Zhao Dahai and Mrs. Li.
Old Mrs. Li was so frightened that her legs went limp when she heard that her husband was unconscious and hospitalized. Anyway, the old lady is in good shape, and she didn\'t say she was scared out of good or bad.
After recovering a bit, Mrs. Li hurriedly packed her things, she had to serve her husband.
Zhao Dahai is naturally not easy to stop. Besides, a wife is a companion when she is old.
"Sister-in-law, at your age, it\'s not easy to serve my old brother Li.
Let’s do it this way, you and doctors and nurses will take care of you during the day.
In the evening, I will send the young people in our team over, one person for one day, and I can arrange it anyway.
Let\'s stick to it for ten days and a half months. When Brother Li is in better health, he will take him home and take care of him slowly. "
This is the best way so far, and Mrs. Li is naturally very grateful.
So Zhao Dahai sent his son, Zhao Jianshe, to drive the car, and took Mrs. Li to the commune hospital with the certificate from the commune.
Old Mrs. Li went to the commune hospital, found a house near the hospital, borrowed their pots and stoves to cook, and served Lao Li.
Old Li has always been the only one at Qianchuan to participate in the field. His illness has blinded the team, so he had to choose another person to go up the mountain to watch the parade.
Originally, I thought that it wasn’t long before the snow fell and I was going to freeze. I would just find someone to go up the mountain to take care of it for a while, and then I could go down the mountain when the snow fell and the person was frozen, and I would arrange someone to rescue them in the spring of next year.
But I never expected that on the night of the third day of Lao Li\'s illness, the attendant went in to thieves.
