"My little grandson's dermatitis was cured by Dr. Zhong, and after eating the Chinese medicine he prescribed, the inflammation and itching on his face were all right!" Xin Waiyun, a villager in Shuangmu Village, Yifeng County, Jiangxi Province, told reporters that his acute arthritis, his wife's high blood pressure, and anyone who has a headache and brain fever at home will think of Dr. Zhong.

Zhong Shuxin, 54, has been working as a village doctor in Shuangmu Village, the highest village in Yifeng County, since 1991. In 1986, Zhong Shuxin followed the old Chinese medicine doctor in the township, and then studied in the medical department of Yichun Vocational and Technical School. As a native of Shuangmu Village, he said: "I have feelings for this place. ”

Before 2010, the villagers of Shuangmu Village had to go down the mountain through mudstone paths between the mountains. "At that time, when the villagers wanted to go to the town to see a doctor, they had to find young and middle-aged people to carry them down the mountain on stretchers, usually for three hours." Xiong Daxu, a cadre of the village committee, introduced. At the end of the 1980s, shuangmu village had no village doctor for three or four years, and the arrival of Zhong Shuxin solved the big problem of villagers seeing a doctor.

At present, the young and middle-aged people in the village have either moved to the county seat or gone out to work, and the permanent population is only more than thirty older people. "There are villages with more populations that invite me to their place, and I didn't go." More villagers mean higher incomes," the family also had some incomprehension, but in the end they supported me. Because once I left, the villagers' medical problems were no longer taken care of. ”

Carrying the medicine kit on his back, Zhong Shuxin began a day of door-to-door follow-up. The home of Zhuo Meixiang, a 93-year-old villager, is the first stop. The old man was old and had poor hearing, and Zhong Shuxin, while measuring her blood pressure, amplified the volume and asked, "Do you sleep well?" Does your head still hurt? After measuring the blood pressure of the elderly and explaining the precautions for medication, Zhong Shuxin accelerated his pace and hurried to the next one.

"Sometimes after seeing a patient just come back, there is another phone call, and I have to go on the spot." The phone that rings from time to time in Zhong Shu's new hand is the "health hotline" in this mountain.

In the village clinic, paper ledgers have not been used for a long time. In recent years, Zhong Shuxin has been able to skillfully operate the computer, record the results of diagnosis and treatment, prescribe a prescription, print bills, and villagers can directly pay related fees with their mobile phones after seeing a doctor.

Up to now, all 214 administrative villages in Yifeng County have eliminated the "blank spots" of village-level clinics and carried out corresponding information transformation.

The wooden medicine box that Zhong Shu has been using for nearly twenty years has also been replaced by a cluster of new aluminum alloy boxes, the medicine box has changed, the health room has been upgraded, and what has not changed is the "health hotline" of Shuangmu Village. (End)
