Appointed by the town or the village to participate in the training, through the mode of "farmers plus doctors", running around the villages with backward medical conditions ... In the past, such rural grassroots part-time medical staff were affectionately called "barefoot doctors" by the masses. In Waigang Town, Jiading District, 13 "barefoot doctors" did not choose to retire, but joined the ranks of rural doctors, playing a unique role in epidemic prevention and control with rich practical experience.
"The villagers love what they say."
There is little exercise during the epidemic prevention and control, will hypertension get worse? Can you really tell whether you have COVID-19 by taking a deep breath and holding your breath? ..... Wu, a 68-year-old "barefoot doctor", was at the village health service station. The villagers asked questions from east to west. Wu not only had to give an accurate explanation, but also had to dispel all kinds of unreliable rumors. Everyone looked at him, just like watching a warm-hearted "male god".
"This barefoot doctor is deeply respected and trusted by the villagers." Li Yan, chief of the prevention and health care department of the town community health service center, told reporters that in the era of backward medical conditions, although their professional knowledge was limited, they were regarded as health guards by the villagers because of their strong sense of responsibility and rigor. After changing from a "barefoot doctor" to a rural doctor, he still has a good reputation and is trusted. Since the epidemic prevention and control, they have been talking about prevention and control, knowledge and rumors in popular and concise language, which has eliminated the panic of many villagers.
"Dr. Wu, I seem to have a fever ..." One night not long ago, a villager called Wu for help, with a trembling tone. Wu put down the bowl chopsticks in his hand, picked up the flashlight and rushed to each other's home. After several measurements, he found that the other person did not have a fever, but was a little nervous. After a false alarm, Wu patiently comforted and introduced a lot of virus prevention knowledge before going home.
"Barefoot doctor" Zhu Peihua is also a "guarantee of confidence". On the afternoon of February 20, he went to the door to measure the temperature of the isolated household, but found that the other person's temperature was abnormal. The other party is anxious, and the family is also anxious. Only Zhu Peihua didn't lose his temper. He immediately contacted the town community health service center, and after obtaining the proof of the abnormal situation of the isolated object at home, he sent the other person to the fever clinic of the district central hospital through the 120 emergency hotline, and carried out on-site disinfection with the community doctors as required. Seeing that the "barefoot doctor" is so professional and calm, the mood of the other family gradually calmed down. After 48 hours, this person was excluded from the suspected case.
Measure the last mile "barefoot"
"Hello, what's wrong with your body? Let's check your temperature. " Since the epidemic prevention and control, Zhang Zhiming, a barefoot doctor, has been busy in the isolated house in Xinyuan Community of Waigang every day. There are many residents in this community who need services, and there are many old buildings without elevators. Lao Zhang, 63, kept climbing downstairs and was ridiculed as a "barefoot commando".
Walking between villages with portable medicine boxes is a unique silhouette of barefoot doctors in the past. I don't know how many times the medical equipment in my hand has been updated, but now a pair of "barefoot" are still measuring the "last mile" to protect people's health.
