Chapter 333 Barefoot Doctor(1/2)
"Yes! As long as you discover this thing, there will be more and more. You really need to find a way as soon as possible."
This is not to say that this thing is contagious, but as long as someone appears, everyone lives in the same environment, and eats and stays the same, and they will definitely get sick!
"You sit down first, I'll finish this."
"It's okay, you write it! I'm not busy anyway." Ye Lin said indifferently.
"Um!"
At this moment, the old squad leader knocked on the door and came in and said to Ye Lin: "The sweet potatoes have been removed, I'll let Xiao Chen tie it to the yard."
"Okay, oh by the way, the old squad leader, do you need kelp when night blindness is ill? What's the basis for this?"
"Basic? I don't know much about this. I used to do this and it worked, so..."
"Well……"
Damn! It turns out it was based on experience! Ye Lin thought there was some scientific basis, so it seemed that he would rather find a doctor to take a look first.
"By the way, Company Commander Qi, are there no doctors on the farm?" Ye Lin turned around and asked.
"Doctor? Yes! There is a hygienist."
"Puff!" Ye Lin almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.
The health officer, and another name is called "Barefoot Doctor."
"Barefoot Doctor" is a product of the rural cooperative medical system and is a cordial name for "half-agricultural and half-doctoral" health workers by rural members.
"Barefoot doctor" refers to rural medical personnel who generally have no formal medical training and hold an agricultural household registration, and in some cases "half farming and half doctors".
There are three main sources of "barefoot doctors" in this era: one is a medical family, two is people who graduated from high school and have a little understanding of pathology, and three is some educated young people who go to the countryside.
Then needless to say, the health officer that Company Commander Qi mentioned was probably an educated youth, and he was a "barefoot doctor."
They saw that they had headaches and fever, but night blindness, so they should forget it. I guess they had never heard of it.
"Ye Lin, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, okay, it's getting late, it's time for me to go back."
"Ah! Are you going back now?"
"Well! When you go back at this time, you can send another trip in the afternoon."
"That's it! OK, I won't keep you."
Ye Lin came out with the old squad leader. After coming outside, Ye Lin said, "Old squad leader, I happen to live in the Corps, so let's do it! I'll go find a doctor to ask if there is any other way."
"That's fine, thank you Ye Lin."
"Old squad leader, judging by what you said, isn't I supposed to do this? Don't forget that my sister is here too. I'm helping my sister."
Hearing Ye Lin say this, the old squad leader shook his head and said, "You! I don't know what to say to you."
After the old squad leader said that, he smiled bitterly. How could he not understand what was going on? Ye Lin was just finding an excuse.
Because even if the entire farm suffers from night blindness, his sister won’t, because Ye Qi is not short of nutrition at all.
After Ye Lin left the farm, he walked a distance and looked around and saw no one. He even put the mule and carriage into space.
Then he followed him in. Ye Lin was not here to play. He wanted to build a carport. Yes, he made it for the tractor.
Ye Lin is a lazy person, so he made one according to the large tractor sheds in later generations and then installed it on the tractor.
After installing the carport, Ye Lin took out the tractor and drove it to the corps.
There is no way, it's too cold. If there is no carport, forty kilometers from here to the Corps, it can freeze him into a popsicle.
If you wear thicker, it’s okay to have a speed that is not very fast, but if you get faster, it’s very cold.
This tractor is also very beneficial! It is to run fast.
Moreover, the tractor has a large wheel and good grip. Although it is running on the snow, it is not very slippery.
Besides, even if it slips, so what if it’s a slip, there are no people or cars anyway, so there will be no traffic accidents.
Originally, it took more than an hour to use a sled, but Ye Lin drove the tractor for less than fifty minutes. You can imagine how fast it was.
Of course, this is not the limit. If it weren't for winter, Ye Lin could have been faster.
Before he arrived at the corps, Ye Lin put away the tractor, then released the mule, and rode the mule to the corps.
Ye Lin's goal was very clear. He came to find a doctor, so after arriving at the Corps, he went directly to the Corps' hospital.
There is no need to queue up to register for a doctor here, because they are all for the people in the Corps.
Ye Lin asked a nurse where to go to see night blindness, and the nurse took him to a doctor's office.
"Hello comrade, where are you feeling uncomfortable?"
The doctor is a female doctor in her forties. She looks kind and kind.
"Hello doctor, I want to ask, how to treat night blindness?"
"Night blindness, do you have night blindness?"
“Yes, I have night blindness.”
Ye Lin also tried to buy a curse and was sick.
"Come on, come here and I'll check it out for you."
"Ah! I need to check it out?"
"If you don't check, how I'll show you."
"Uh... OK."
Ye Lin walked forward a little and walked to the doctor.
"Sit down!"
"Oh! OK."
The doctor opened Ye Lin's eyes and looked for a while, and said, "It seems that you are fine?"
"Uh..." Ye Lin had to sigh that this doctor had two brushes, which could be seen.
Didn’t it mean that night blindness is not visible only at night? It’s the same as a normal person during the day.
"Doctor, I'm fine during the day, but I can't see it at night."
Hearing Ye Lin say this, the doctor smiled and said, "No one can see at night."
"No, I mean I can't see the light at night."
"Oh! I'll take a look." The doctor helped Ye Lin check his eyes again.
Then he frowned and said, "It's still no problem!"
"Forget it, doctor, just tell me how to treat night blindness!"
"There are many treatments for night blindness, including drug treatments, and some local methods."
"Doctor, I heard that eating kelp can cure night blindness. Is this true?"
"Who did you hear?" the doctor asked Ye Lin with a smile.
"Everyone says so."
"You are right, it does have some effect, but the effect is very poor, and it takes a long time to eat it, so it is basically useless."
"Uh... Doctor, what you said is basically useless, that is, it doesn't work."
"No, but it's impossible for us to meet this condition, so it's useless."
When Ye Lin heard the doctor say this, he nodded because she was right. With the conditions here, it is impossible for you to provide kelp for a long time.
"Is there any other way?"
"Yes, there are many, and the effect is good, but the agreement cannot be satisfied."
"What's the solution?"
"Night blindness is mainly related to vitamin A deficiency in the body.
The deficiency of vitamin A leads to the lack of raw materials for the synthesis of rhodopsin by retinal rod-shaped cells. For this type of night blindness, pay attention to supplementing vitamin A."
"Uh... Doctor, can you tell me what is the best diet?"
After hearing Ye Lin’s question, the doctor said with a wry smile: “Dietly, it can play a therapeutic and preventive role, but this is simply impossible.”
"Why?"
“Because we don’t have it here.”
"No?"
"Yes, no, you can eat more apples, fresh crucian carp, spinach, pork liver, carrots, etc. In terms of diet, these are all conducive to the treatment and prevention of night blindness."
"Uh..." Ye Lin seemed to understand why the doctor said that.
Because the things she said were indeed not available in Beidahuang, let alone apples, spinach, carrots, vegetables, pork liver and crucian carp!
