The general's wife knows medicine

Chapter 224 Recruiting a Nursing Worker

Tang Peipei didn't think so. Even if these common people really didn't know anything, she could still teach them.

It doesn’t mean you have to become a doctor after learning it. It’s enough as long as you can help them take care of patients, right?

Besides, although she is not rich now, she has some savings in her pocket. The army doesn’t have any, but she does.

She could still afford to hire a few people.

By hiring someone, not only can the injured receive good care, but they can also look after more patients, and you can be more relaxed, right?

He smiled and said, "No problem, I'll pay for it. If we can't recruit common people who know medicine, then we can recruit some who don't know but are smart, and I'll teach them. They can be trained in two or three days at most, and they only need to be able to take care of patients. This way we can take care of more patients every day, which is also a good thing."

After hearing what she said, Old Man He couldn't help but look at her a little more. He agreed with her idea and his opinion of Tang Peipei also changed a little.

"Well, I'll trouble the General's wife with this matter. I don't have much money, but I can scrape together some."

Tang Peipei waved her hands repeatedly and said, "No, no, Mr. He, just rest assured."

I didn't expect that although Old Man He looked a little arrogant, he actually had a good heart.

Afterwards, Tang Peipei began to prepare for the recruitment. She wrote a recruitment notice herself, saying that anyone who could read, regardless of gender, and aged between ten and forty, could sign up. Once accepted, they would receive a salary of thirty cents a day, and the clinic would also provide lunch.

The average person working outside usually earns ten to fifteen cents a day, while servants in wealthy families can earn twenty or thirty cents.

Therefore, the salary offered by Tang Peipei was considered high.

Finally, Mu Jintang was asked to arrange soldiers to post them everywhere in the city.

Because the reward offered by Tang Peipei was quite generous, after the notice was posted, many people came to sign up.

There were also several who said they knew something about medicine.

Tang Peipei also called people over and found that these people did understand the effects of some herbs.

However, Tang Peipei can’t be considered to know much about medicine.

But at least he understood a little, so Tang Peipei kept the person.

In addition, we recruited four or five other guys who didn’t understand anything but looked quite smart.

Tang Peipei originally wanted to hire female workers, after all, girls are gentler and more careful.

However, there were very few girls who responded to the call, and the few who did were illiterate.

In the current situation, there is really no time to teach both reading and nursing.

So, just forget it.

This time we recruited ten people in total, all of them were young men in their teens and twenties. Perhaps because they were educated, they looked gentle and polite.

Tang Peipei was very satisfied.

Tang Peipei teaches a few young men lessons every morning, teaching them about nursing knowledge.

I took them to practice in the afternoon.

These guys are really smart and learn quickly.

In two days, he had learned all the care methods for the injured.

With the addition of these ten people and Tang Peipei, Old Man He and his two apprentices felt much more relaxed.

"Well, not bad, not bad." Old Man He even had time to drink tea.

Tang Peipei felt that there were still not enough people.

You know, in modern times, doctors, apart from seeing patients and prescribing medicine, basically just spend some time on follow-up visits, and there is basically nothing else they need to do personally.

But here, you not only have to take care of patients and prescribe medicine, but you also have to do everything yourself.

Even at night I am not free.

There are too many injured people here, so it seems that there is a clear shortage of manpower.

I don’t know how they got here before.

"Those soldiers who were injured on the battlefield were treated immediately if they were seriously injured, and those with less serious injuries waited." Old Man He sighed. "There are not enough people, and there is nothing we can do about it."

You know, every time the Chen people came to attack, they had to stay up for two or three nights.

Listening to the soldiers' cries of pain, he went from feeling heartbroken at first, to feeling exhausted, and finally to feeling numb.

Tang Peipei was also helpless. With so few people, they could do nothing.

"Shall we find twenty more people?" Although there were ten more people now, they had a chance to breathe a little, but it was still not enough, obviously not enough.

After meeting the people that Tang Peipei had trained before, Old Man He also agreed to add more staff.

Tang Peipei immediately sent people to post the previously drafted notices in various conspicuous places, and carefully selected several literate soldiers to take charge of related matters. Not only that, she also specially arranged several people to do propaganda and explanation at the notice posting place, hoping that those who have daughters at home or women who have nothing to do at home will come to apply.

However, contrary to expectations, the effect of this recruitment was far worse than the previous one.

Only two or three people came to apply for the job. The main reason was that most people were illiterate, and one of the recruitment conditions was that applicants had to be literate so that they could understand the prescriptions written by the doctor and avoid prescribing the wrong medicine.

However, because the border town was often ravaged by war, many scholars were afraid and were unwilling to come to this place.

As for the local scholars? As long as they have the opportunity to leave here, they will basically leave without hesitation.

Those who stayed behind were either too old to travel far, or too uneducated to go anywhere. As a result, although there were scholars, they were not many.

Looking back, the reason why we were able to recruit those ten young men last time was actually because Tang Peipei offered very generous conditions, and besides, they only needed to be literate and did not need to be very talented.

After all, the daily wage is 30 coins, and lunch is provided. Such treatment is definitely rare in the border town!

Tang Peipei couldn't help feeling a little frustrated and disappointed.

When Mu Jintang learned the news, he immediately selected all literate soldiers from the barracks and personally led them to the clinic to help.

There are only about ten people in total, but it's better than nothing! After all, one more person means more strength!

In order to enable everyone to better take care of the injured soldiers, Tang Peipei personally taught and explained various medical knowledge and nursing skills to the caregivers in detail.

She not only taught basic medical theories, but also provided practical demonstrations to help soldiers better understand how to deal with various illnesses and emergencies.

After a period of hard work, these soldiers finally became familiar with and mastered the relevant medical skills. They learned how to correctly diagnose the disease and provide appropriate treatment plans.

With these capable assistants, doctors can focus more on their work and provide higher quality medical services to patients.

This made the military doctors breathe a sigh of relief.

In just a few days, some of the soldiers in the clinic whose injuries were not too serious had recovered and were able to return to the barracks for training.
