What's going on with the $10 doctor in Chongqing? What exactly is the situation?

?　　Chongqing 10 dollars doctor is what happened? What exactly is the situation?　　Chongqing in December, some cold. A row of stores located on the street of Donghua Village, Bao Ding Town, Dazu District, closed their doors in a flurry of smoke, except for one that was open, with one or two people occasionally burrowing in. "Here, that's Dr. Wu's clinic, as long as he's not on a clinic trip, he sees patients in the door market."

The small clinic is simple, with a few large cabinets neatly discharged with bags of Chinese herbs piled up like small mountains: chai hu, patchouli, fritillaria, dahurica, cangzhu, chuanxiong ......

"Hello! Please have a seat, I'll have time to chat once I've shown them the disease." The man sitting behind the table greeted us politely - he, Wu Hua, a doctor praised by five or six villages in Baoding Township, is 61 years old and has been practicing medicine for exactly 40 years.

Wu Hua, a village doctor with a disabled left hand, is known to almost no one around Bao Ding town in Dazu. In order to the surrounding nearly 10,000 villagers seeking medical treatment, 40 years, he used solid footsteps, with a healer's heart, infinitely closer to the distance between the doctor and the patient.

Wu Hua rowed to the villagers around the reservoir to see a doctor

10.66 yuan on credit, the doctor also promised

In the Dazu District, around the town of BaoDing, open clinic doctor quite a number of, can be counted on the word of mouth, Wu Hua is considered to be the best.

Yang Wenzhao, a 62-year-old patient, coughing non-stop these days, often too tired to straighten up and stay uncomfortable, he finally went out to find Dr. Wu to see a doctor.

Dr. Wu listened to the sound of the lungs and looked at the throat and said that the old Yang is an upper respiratory tract infection. This time the weather is cold fast, add clothes not timely will be easy to get cold, once the cold did not take medicine in time, the older people back pain is going to come.

"Yes, I'm alone in the head of the house, children and not around, cold thought dragged two days on the good, the results of the past few days even get out of bed are annoyed." Old Yang and Dr. Wu chatted.

"The baby is not around, more should pay attention to the body, if you fall ill, he took time off to come back to see you, is not the same worry?" Dr. Wu's "accusation", so Yang Wenzhao very much: "Right, you're right, he still has a family to support, I can not give him trouble."

Everything is a family affair, and everything is about being sick.

"Chinese or Western medicine?" The line of people coming to see the doctor behind them started to form and the chatting ended. "Take western medicine, it comes faster." Lao Yang smiled.

After that, Dr. Wu began to prescribe the medicine. Dr. Wu, who looks like a normal person, used his left hand to skillfully write up the prescription: 12 tablets of amoxicillin, 12 tablets of Andrographis paniculata, 9 tablets of paracetamol ......

The cost of the two days of medication, totaling 10.66 yuan. Before leaving, Yang Wenzhao looked at Wu Hua with difficulty: "I went out in the morning in a hurry and didn't have any money with me, can you give me the medicine on credit first?"

"To have to, you take it first, and then come back when you are better, and pay for the medicine." Afterwards, Yang Wenzhao took the medicine and walked away slowly.

Because of the right-handed disability caused by the poisonous snake bite, Wu Hua switched to writing with his left hand.

Six medicines in two days Total***9.67 yuan

Chen Shanguo, 42, also came to line up to see the doctor. He had stomach pains and weakness for several days and had no choice but to return to his hometown from Dazu city to recuperate.His father, who is in his 60s, couldn't bear to watch him and brought him out to see a doctor. "The disease are dragging serious, and then do not see not allowed to go home."

Dr. Wu greeted Chen Shanguo as he sat down and chatted with him about his condition. Again, the upper respiratory tract infection caused various problems, Dr. Wu felt a little tricky: "Young people are sick don't procrastinate yo, procrastinate serious back will not be able to cure."

This time the western medicine prescription is cheaper, two days combined six times the medicine, total ***9.67 yuan. Precise to the grain of Andrographis paniculata tablets, a sheet of white paper laid flat on the table, Dr. Wu skillfully took the bottle of medicine with his left hand, poured out the medicine one by one, and placed it on the white paper again, one not more and one not less.

After dispensing the medicine, Dr. Wu skillfully wrapped it up with his left hand, put it into a clean plastic pocket and handed it to Chen Shanguo.

Ten yuan was handed over and Dr. Wu was ready to make up the change. At this point, Chen Shanguo and his father waved his hand: "Only a few cents, where are you going to find a replacement for me, the medicine is so cheap."

"Do not make up jang want, folks." Dr. Wu said.

"In the city, this money is a general clinic registration fee, Dr. Wu, you do not polite, thank you." The father and son finally "won the victory" in each other's thanks, and left the clinic.

Before leaving, they said to reporters: "Dr. Wu is good, kind, often people do not give money on credit, we have this a little bit to make up for, what is it."

Engaged in forty years of rural doctors, Wu Hua has become accustomed to the muddy and rugged mountain roads.

3,000 yuan to build a boat and row to the clinic

Wu Hua's home is in Bao Dingzhen Dashi Village, where he grew up, and he has a deep understanding of the difficulties of local villagers in seeking medical treatment.

One day when he was 11 years old, Wu Hua slept until two o'clock at night and was awakened by a sharp pain in his right hand. His father turned on his flashlight and found a nearly 1-meter-long "branding iron head" (poisonous snake) slithering away from a crack in a mud wall. Due to the lack of money for medical treatment, the poisoning was so severe that his arm turned into pus and rotted, leaving him with a lifelong disability, which made him aspire to become a doctor.

After graduating from junior high school, Wu Hua followed his third uncle, Wu Quansheng, who worked at a health center, to learn Chinese medicine. Because of the disability of his right hand, when practicing injections, Wu Hua took sweet potatoes and radishes and practiced for a month in order to exercise the mobility of his left wrist.

After three years of self-study, Wu Hua was recruited as one of the first village doctors in Dazu in 1980, and was also recommended to attend the village doctor's class at the health school for half a year, obtaining a qualification certificate for village doctors. The following year, Wu Hua's health center opened, and from then on he carried a medical box, began to practice medicine.

Wu Hua's health center is less than five minutes away from the Hualong Reservoir dock in Baoding Town, where a tin boat is docked on the shore. It is a boat that Wu Hua spent more than 3,000 yuan to build three years ago to make it easier to go to the nearly 10,000 folks in surrounding villages to see a doctor.

Because of his right hand's disability, Wu Hua can only row the oar with his left hand, with two fingers of his right hand exerting a little force. "In the beginning, the right arm can not make force, the wooden boat has been spinning on the shore, practiced for more than three months before the boat rowed out of the shore." Wu Hua's hands are full of callous scars from paddling.

People need me to stick around

Now, Wu Hua's son has been working in the main city of Chongqing, and his wife is helping with two grandchildren in the city of Dazu, as well as his mother, who is more than 80 years old. In order to take care of his mother, Wu insisted on rowing a boat every day and then walking an hour and a half up the mountain to go home, hoping that his mother could have a hot meal every day.

Wu Hua admitted that his job as a doctor, and income is also very meager, for the vast majority of patients, he will generally control the cost of medication money in about 10 yuan. In traditional Chinese medicine, he specializes in treating stomach diseases, from time to time, people will come to the door, this stomach medicine a pair of several hundred dollars, but to pinch into pills to eat for a month, "This is considered the most expensive kind of medicine." It is understood that by Wu Hua cured stomach disease patients, a large number.

In everyone's eyes, Wu Hua is a kind doctor who refuses to talk about money. In accordance with the policy, rural doctors can charge 4 yuan per visit to the consultation fee, Wu Hua basically do not take a penny, in addition to charging the cost of basic medicines, the villagers' request for consultation as a voluntary service. For the villagers who have difficulties in life, he does not even charge for medication, some villagers wrote a note of indebtedness, Wu Hua also does not collect.

Villagers Liu Zegao and his partner are more than 80 years old, Liu Zegao suffers from deafness, his partner suffers from hypertension and rheumatoid rheumatism, seven or eight years, every time the couple over to get medicine, Wu Hua treatment is "money on the give point, no money even". As long as the clinic passes by Liu Zegao's home, Wu Hua will go in to see how the old couple, ask what they need medicine, write down the next time to bring them.

"I have a monthly allowance of more than 1,200 yuan, my son has started a family, the money is enough to pay for our old couple and mother's expenses, very contented." Wu Hua said.

His son, who works in Chongqing's main city, has repeatedly urged him to live in the city, but he has refused. He reasoned, "The villagers have become attached to me, and this place needs me, so I'll set my heart on this place."

"It's a lie to say that our place is not tough, and if I quit, I don't know if anyone will come. Since the folks need me, I'm going to stick it out." Wu Hua said.

Reporter's Notebook

Honor to grassroots workers who pay quietly

Dr. Wu opens the door at 8 a.m. sharp every day, and according to this time projection, he has to get up around 5 a.m., and then make breakfast and lunch for his mother. Before he leaves, he has to warm up the rice with the residual heat from the wood fire until it is still hot when his mother eats at noon.

From Dashi village, where he lives, to Donghua village, where the clinic is located, it takes an hour and a half of walking plus rowing, and the doctor, who carries a medical box on his back, rows with a very imposing figure.

"Dr. Wu, hello!"

"Dr. Wu, my house wide mandarin is ripe, two days I'll bring you two."

"Dr. Wu ......"

A sound of honorifics often puts a satisfied smile on Wu Hua's face. After 40 years of practicing medicine, he still looks the same as he did when he arrived, "As long as these folks need me, I'll keep doing it until the day I can't move."

Here, we pay tribute to Wu Hua, and to the grassroots workers who quietly work on all fronts!
