Reborn in 1977

The guest house's small canteen was in the backyard, separated from the health department's canteen, but connected by a corridor.

In the small canteen's private room, several leaders and a dozen related experts, plus Chen Fan and his two companions, made up two tables.

The dishes were relatively simple, three dishes and a soup, plus a pot of rice and a pot of vegetable and egg noodles.

The basins for serving the dishes were a bit large, slightly smaller than a washbasin, but really only slightly smaller. If the dishes inside were divided, they would be enough for a dozen large plates.

A basin of potato stewed chicken and a basin of braised pork were the main dishes, with Mapo tofu as a side dish, and seaweed and egg drop soup.

Adding two bottles of Yunhu Daqu liquor, the banquet officially began.

As the saying goes, the most effective people at advising others not to smoke or drink are doctors. But the most avid smokers and drinkers are also doctors.

It had just started, and everyone was already holding a wine glass in their left hand and a cigarette in their right. The director and section chief even had cigarettes with filters?

Seeing Chen Fan's curious gaze, the section chief laughed and took out another pack of cigarettes from his pocket, placed it in front of Chen Fan, and said with a smile, "This is a filtered Yulan cigarette produced in Baoding, considered a rare item. I didn't bring many today. Take this pack and smoke it. I'll get you two cartons another day."

In an era when most Chinese cigarettes were "bald cigarettes" (without filters), filtered cigarettes were indeed a rarity, clearly only Grade B cigarettes, but priced higher than Grade A cigarettes.

Chen Fan quickly declined, "No need, no need, I don't really like smoking."

The section chief insisted on giving it to him, "Just smoke for fun, take it."

Hao Liyang also laughed and said, "This is the section chief's high-end stuff. Ordinary people can't even ask for it. It's rare for the section chief to appreciate you and take the initiative to give you cigarettes. You can't miss such a good opportunity."

The director and Yan Liyuan also smiled and advised him to accept it.

Chen Fan then reluctantly accepted it, but immediately opened it and distributed one to each person.

The people watching secretly nodded, this young man knows how to handle things.

People with great abilities are not uncommon, but those who have both ability and know how to handle things are rare.

Several leaders exchanged glances and could see the smiles in each other's eyes. With ability, knowing when to advance and retreat, and understanding human relationships, it seemed that some things would be easier to discuss.

Hao Liyang didn't interfere with those messy things. Anyway, he was the leader, and the greatest credit would definitely be attributed to him; no one could take it away.

As the person who compiled the first edition of the "First Aid Manual," Chen Fan would definitely receive the first credit. He had originally wanted to transfer him to the health department, both to repay a favor and to make it easier to control him, but he didn't expect him to refuse such a great benefit.

Since that was the case, various honorary benefits could be given more generously, as long as his mouth was shut. The internal rewards could then be arranged by the two leaders as they pleased.

Hao Liyang was from a technical background, but he wasn't a clueless person who didn't understand human relationships. Making the pie bigger together was a great thing for everyone. Why cause trouble?

Afterwards, during the meal, the director and section chief were exceptionally enthusiastic, often putting their arms around Chen Fan's shoulders and whispering to him. Chen Fan also went along with them, and no matter what the other party said, as long as it didn't harm his own interests, he would play dumb and let them arrange things.

Thus, in this matter, there were several more "good cadres" like Yan Liyuan, who were responsible for logistics and made great contributions.

Although Chen Fan had never even met them, if the leaders said they were good cadres, then they must be.

After settling this small matter, Hao Liyang asked Chen Fan for his opinions on the drafting of the first aid manual.

Chen Fan hadn't put down his chopsticks since he picked them up, and his mouth hadn't stopped. By this time, he was already eighty percent full. Hearing Hao Liyang's words, he put down his chopsticks, picked up a towel, wiped his hands, lowered his head, thought for a moment, and then said to him, "Director Hao, I really have some ideas about publishing a book."

Hao Liyang immediately nodded, "I'm all ears."

The director and section chief also stopped drinking and stared at him intently. The others, seeing the movement on this side, also consciously put down their chopsticks.

Chen Fan gestured and said, "Although I haven't studied medicine for a long time, and so far, I can only handle some simple injuries and illnesses…"

Hearing this, the people at both tables felt a little uncomfortable.

He hadn't studied medicine for a long time, but he could compile a first aid manual. If he studied longer, wouldn't he come up with a medical encyclopedia?

Chen Fan was speaking and didn't notice the expressions of the others. He continued, "But I feel that first aid should be a very broad and promising field of medicine."

Hao Liyang lowered his eyebrows thoughtfully, "How do you mean?"

Emergency medicine originated in the 1930s. In the 1950s, some people in the West began to propose the concept of "modern emergency science," but even now, there is no complete summary, let alone a system.

In recent years, the domestic medical community has been working hard to catch up with the West. Even the most basic drug manufacturing and production are still relatively backward, let alone pursuing cutting-edge scientific theories. Therefore, Hao Liyang knows the concept of modern emergency medicine, but he hasn't studied it in depth.

Chen Fan also discovered the serious lack of first aid information at Nanhu Health Center. Now that Hao Liyang asked for his opinion, he took the opportunity to put forward some ideas.

He gestured and said, "My idea is to first compile and publish a book including emergency methods that may endanger life, such as 'airway foreign body removal,' 'cardiopulmonary resuscitation,' and 'artificial respiration,' plus the improvements to conventional emergency methods researched by doctors and experts in our Yunhu health system."

Hearing this sentence, everyone present couldn't help but reveal a knowing smile.

Look, how well Teacher Chen speaks. What is "improvements to conventional emergency methods researched by doctors and experts in our Yunhu health system"?

Everyone gets a share!

The director and section chief were even happier. Collective achievements can better highlight their contributions, so of course they are happy to see it happen.

Chen Fan continued, "This book can be used as the first version of the 'First Aid Manual.'"

Hao Liyang's heart moved, "The first version? Do you mean that there can be a second, third, or even more versions?"

If Chen Laoshi's words just now made everyone happy, then these words instantly excited them.

Especially the director and the section chief, who couldn't hide the excitement in their eyes.

A single contribution versus a continuous stream of contributions, which is better?!

This little Chen Laoshi is a treasure!

Chen Fan nodded to Hao Liyang and said seriously, "When I was studying at the health center, I found that the only emergency rescue information available was 'Illustrated Handbook of War Wound Care'."

Hao Liyang immediately nodded, "Yes, this is a war wound care manual for the battlefield. Strictly speaking, it can't be considered an emergency rescue manual. There is indeed relatively little emergency rescue information for civilian use. The most common is 'Practical Emergency Medicine'.

However, some grassroots medical staff have reported that the content is too complicated and difficult to learn.

Furthermore, there are some records on emergency rescue in the 'Barefoot Doctor's Manual'. That's why I was deeply inspired after seeing the emergency rescue manual compiled by Comrade Zhang Juemin reported from below, and I thought of compiling a simpler and easier-to-understand special emergency rescue book."

Zhang Juemin, who was next to him, couldn't help but blush when he heard this.

Where had he compiled any emergency rescue manual? He had only recorded Chen Fan's words verbatim and handed them over to the health center. Compilation was the work of Dean Wang Hai.

However, with Director Hao's words, his contribution to this matter had increased by another three points. Zhang Juemin was just inexperienced, not ignorant of social niceties. He knew in his heart that this was Director Hao returning the favor to Chen Laoshi for giving up part of the credit earlier. It's just that this "favor" was being returned to him.

Once this contribution is confirmed, he might really have a chance to get rid of his barefoot doctor status and enter the commune health center to become a formal doctor with a position. If he really succeeds, then he will owe a great debt of gratitude.

Chen Fan ignored Zhang Juemin's slight embarrassment and said to Hao Liyang, "This is what I'm thinking. After publishing the first book, we can also compile more targeted emergency rescue manuals according to different scenarios and populations.

For example, for the home version, common ones include dealing with electric shock, infantile convulsions, infantile fever, swallowing foreign objects, sudden coughing up of blood, cat and dog bites, infant suffocation, sudden syncope, burns and scalds, gas poisoning, etc.

For the wilderness version, we can specifically compile drowning rescue, pesticide poisoning, food poisoning, snake bite rescue, etc.

There is also a sports version, which includes muscle injuries, sprains, dislocations, fractures, traumatic bleeding, ..."

Hearing this, Hao Liyang finally understood Chen Fan's meaning, and immediately nodded with excitement and smiled, "Your idea is very good. For different scenarios and different populations, compile the dangerous situations they are most likely to encounter, and then learn in a targeted manner, so that you can achieve better results."

Yan Liyuan, who was on the side, also nodded and said, "Moreover, after setting specific scenarios and populations, in addition to the existing emergency rescue methods, we can also research other targeted emergency treatment plans. For example, the home version can include nighttime cramps, vomiting, stuck fish bones, stroke, etc."

As soon as he started, everyone else joined in and talked about all the dangers that might be encountered in the home.

Chen Fan, Zhang Juemin, and Zhang Wenliang looked a little dazed.

Is it possible for ordinary people to encounter so many dangers at any time?

Zhang Wenliang gently nudged Zhang Juemin and asked in a low voice, "Big brother, have you encountered these problems before?"

Zhang Juemin rolled his eyes secretly, "If I could encounter so many problems, the population of Lujiawan would be reduced by half. Except for stuck fish bones, I haven't encountered any of the others!"

Zhang Wenliang curled his lips, "Listen to what other people are saying, and then look at you. Every time someone gets a fish bone stuck, you only tell them to swallow rice. Did you hear that? Swallowing rice can only solve the problem of fine bones stuck in the throat. If you encounter slightly larger ones, the more you swallow, the more serious it becomes, and it may even cut through the esophagus and intestines. Surgery may not be able to save it."

Zhang Juemin was also dripping with cold sweat, "Forget it, forget it, in the future, if anyone gets a fish bone stuck, let them go to the health center to get it removed."

That's why the professionals are professionals. Chen Fan only provided an idea, and Hao Liyang and the others discussed several versions.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of dishes, the four dishes and one soup were almost finished. A basin of rice and a basin of noodles were also eaten up, and everyone wiped their hands and mouths and dispersed.

Chen Fan took the Yulan filter cigarette with only two sticks left, handed it to Zhang Wenliang, and then followed Hao Liyang out, while whispering, "Director Hao, how are my tasks arranged for the next few days?"

Hao Liyang turned to look at him and smiled, "What, are you in a hurry to go back?"

Yan Liyuan also smiled and said, "It's not easy to come here, you might as well stay for a while. Anyway, your food and accommodation expenses are covered by our unit, and we will also give you a subsidy of two yuan a day, so you won't suffer."

There's definitely no loss. For this business trip, Lujiawan gave them full attendance, and the travel expenses were also reimbursed according to the actual amount. That's why so many people like to go on business trips.

However, Chen Fan still said with a smile, "The main reason is that in a few days, the team will be doing the double抢 (rush harvesting and planting), and the house at home has just been built, and there are still many things that have not been dealt with. If it's okay to be here for ten days and a half months, if the time is too long, I'm afraid it will delay things."

Hao Liyang nodded slowly, "Understood."

After a pause, he smiled and said, "In this way, I will discuss with the comrades today to see how to arrange your work."

Saying that, he patted his arm and smiled, "Don't worry, the time will not be too long, and I guarantee that you will be able to go back within 10 days."

Chen Fan rubbed his hands and grinned, "Thank you, Director, then I can rest assured."

Hao Liyang pointed at him and shook his head and smiled, "I've seen many people who are thinking about entering the city, but you are the first one who is thinking about returning to the countryside."

Behind them, Zhang Juemin and Zhang Wenliang couldn't help but straighten their chests, showing a bit of pride.

It's still our Chen Laoshi!
