Chapter 195 Living Bodhisattva
When Shen Ruolan saw the man bringing water over, she helped the woman up and said, "Hurry up and drink some water to fill your stomach. After you eat, you will have the strength to give birth to a child."
"Okay," the woman said, smiled weakly at Shen Ruolan, and started drinking water.
Sure enough, after drinking a bowl of warm water, the woman felt much better. Shen Ruolan helped her lie down and said, "I will now put you in a normal position. Just lie down on the bed. No matter what I do, don't move."
"Okay," the woman responded cooperatively.
Shen Ruolan comforted the woman and began to rub her belly. She gently stroked the woman's belly and said softly, "Little one, be strong. Follow the direction of your aunt's rubbing, and you can see your mother."
It was not known whether it was Shen Ruolan's words that worked, or her helping the woman rub her belly that worked, but as she rubbed slowly, the baby's head gradually turned in the direction of Shen Ruolan's rubbing, and the fetal position was slowly correcting.
"Hmm" the woman lay on the bed, moaning again and again.
Not long after, Ji Ning came in with a bowl of eggs and said, "Master, the eggs are here."
Shen Ruolan heard that the eggs were cooked. She glanced at the woman's belly and said to Ji Ning, "Put the eggs aside for now. Let me rub her belly before you eat it."
"Yes," Ji Ning said, and she stepped aside with the eggs.
Unconsciously, two quarters of an hour had passed. The man who had just brought the water saw that the woman's breath was getting weaker and weaker. He looked at Shen Ruolan anxiously and asked, "Village leader, my wife..."
At this time, Shen Ruolan was concentrating on rubbing the woman's belly. After hearing the man's question, she had no extra energy to reply to him. A quarter of an hour later, Shen Ruolan withdrew her hand, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and breathlessly ordered Ji Ning: "Ji Ning, quickly bring the egg over for her to eat."
The natural fetal position seemed soft and required no effort, but in fact she had to use all her strength every time. After half an hour, Shen Ruolan was very tired.
"Yes, master." After Ji Ning finished speaking, he quickly brought in eggs to feed the woman.
The surrounding villagers looked at this scene and felt very warm-hearted. They thought their village chief was so kind. Not only did she provide them with meals, she also helped them with medical treatment and childbirth. She must be a living Bodhisattva sent by God to save them.
Someone saw that Shen Ruolan was tired, and quickly poured her a bowl of warm water and said, "Village leader, please drink some water."
Shen Ruolan was indeed thirsty. She took the water and thanked the woman, "Thank you."
Shen Ruolan finished drinking the water and the woman finished eating the eggs. She gave the bowl to the woman beside her and stood up to ask her, "Sister-in-law, how do you feel now?"
The woman smiled weakly at Shen Ruolan and said, "Thank you, Village Chief. I'm much better now."
She had just eaten five eggs, and her originally weak body instantly felt much better.
After Shen Ruolan heard that she was feeling much better, she let her lie down again and gave her an injection to induce labor. Two hours later, with Shen Ruolan's help, the woman successfully gave birth to a baby boy.
Everyone in the kitchen was happy for the woman who had given birth after learning that she and her baby were safe, but more than that, they admired their village chief.
You know, in the past, eight out of ten women would die due to an abnormal fetal position, and even the two who survived unexpectedly would have their bodies ruined and would not be able to reproduce at all. However, today, not only are both mother and child safe, but it also has no impact on her future childbirth, which surprised them so much.
When Shen Ziqian woke up early in the morning, he heard that a woman was having a difficult labor. He wanted to come over to take a look, but when he saw his cousin was inside, in order to avoid embarrassment, he waited outside the kitchen. When he saw Shen Ruolan coming out, he hurried forward and asked, "Sister Lan, how is the person inside?"
Shen Ruolan was a little surprised to see Shen Ziqian outside the door. After hearing his question, she replied, "It's okay. Mother and child are safe."
Shen Ziqian heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that the woman and her child were safe. As a doctor, the last thing he wanted to do was to see a woman die during childbirth.
Because in his opinion, a woman who is giving birth is the greatest woman in the world, and as long as he has the ability, he will do his best to save any woman who is giving birth.
However, most of the time, when he met women with difficult labor, he was helpless and watched the women die in pain one by one. Thinking of this, he looked at Shen Ruolan with curiosity and asked, "Sister Lan, how do you deal with women with difficult labor?"
Shen Ziqian was very curious about Shen Ruolan's medical skills. He wanted to ask her who her master was, but his grandfather had said that no one was allowed to ask about anything related to Sister Lan unless she told him herself.
When Shen Ruolan heard her cousin asking about childbirth, she said to him, "Cousin, there are many factors that cause difficult childbirth. We need to take different approaches based on different situations."
After Shen Ruolan finished speaking, she paused and continued, "For example, the sister-in-law here today, her fetus is in an abnormal position. As long as we find it in time and help her correct the fetal position in time, she can usually give birth smoothly."
After Shen Ruolan finished speaking, she told Shen Ziqian the whole story of how she had just rescued the woman.
After Shen Ziqian heard this, he looked at Shen Ruolan with a shocked face and asked, "Sister Lan, your body and hair are given by your parents, how can you..."
When Shen Ziqian said this, he suddenly felt embarrassed. How could he discuss such a topic with his sister?
Compared to Shen Ziqian's embarrassment, Shen Ruolan was much calmer. After all, as doctors, it was normal for men and women to discuss patients' physical problems together. Only by communicating and discussing with each other could they better understand the patients and make better progress in medical skills.
Seeing her cousin hesitant to speak, Shen Ruolan naturally understood what he wanted to say. She smiled at him and said, "Cousin, you are right, but we only have one life. When our life is threatened, we should throw away all constraints and save a living life. Isn't that more important than anything else?"
Shen Ruolan's words made Shen Ziqian suddenly realize something. He finally understood why he was so helpless when helping women give birth.
In the past, he couldn't think of a better way to help women give birth smoothly because he was too narrow-minded. Now, after being enlightened by his cousin, he suddenly saw the light.
After learning about his shortcomings, Shen Ziqian bowed to Shen Ruolan and said with admiration: "Listening to Sister Lan's words is better than reading for ten years. Ziqian, thank you for your guidance."
Shen Ruolan felt a little embarrassed by what her cousin said. She smiled at him and said, "Cousin, you are too modest. I heard from grandpa that you are very talented in medicine. In the future, Ruolan should ask you for advice more often."
Shen Ruolan was telling the truth. Her grandfather had told her that in the Shen family, the most gifted medical practitioner in her eldest cousin's generation was her eldest cousin. Because she was out all day looking for her mother, she seldom gave her eldest cousin any guidance. So, in some aspects, her eldest cousin's medical skills progressed more slowly.
