Chapter 203 Act within your capabilities
Jian Xingzhi looked at Shen Wenjiao, who was walking towards the patient outside the door step by step with sympathy on her face, and a mocking and as-expected smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Should he be glad that this girl finally knew to ask him and didn't impulsively agree?
Being kind is never a mistake, but it needs to be done within one's ability.
"Do you know how many patients we will encounter today? You paid to help this person, but what about the others!"
What is worrying is not the scarcity of resources but the inequality of distribution. They do not have the ability and capacity to save everyone.
Shen Wenjiao was silent. She could understand this truth as long as she thought about it! She could pity this man and help him buy medicine and see a doctor, but the other people around him.
There are many people who are more pitiful and in more serious situations than him. How can they be willing to accept what they see when the hope of survival is right in front of them?
Never underestimate the evil of human nature.
"Then are we just going to watch and do nothing?" Shen Wenjiao was in a very low mood. This feeling of powerlessness had been with her since she traveled to this era.
She knew that there would be a war between China and Japan in the future, and she also knew how much sacrifice the Chinese people would have to make during the war to regain their homeland. But only in this era did she realize that there is no shortage of smart people in any era.
Many far-sighted people have called on everyone in the newspapers to be careful and wary of the Japanese. Even if these people don't know history, they can make accurate guesses with their keen eyes.
Some people's convincing articles in the newspapers made Shen Wenjiao think she had met a fellow time traveler!
But in reality, the wheel of history is rolling down, and no one can stop it. It is more difficult for a butterfly's wings to cause a hurricane than Shen Wenjiao imagined.
Shen Wenjiao came to this era and always wanted to do something, but if you think about it carefully, what useful things have she done? She is really just an ordinary person and can't seem to do anything.
Jian Xingzhi looked at Shen Wenjiao, who looked like she had lost most of her energy and spirit, and sighed in his heart. She was a soft-hearted child after all. In fact, wasn't he like this at the beginning? Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone abroad to study medicine at such a young age.
At first, he thought that he had learned medical skills, and as long as his medical skills were good enough, he could save many people. But later facts told him that medical skills alone were not enough, and he could not save too many people by himself.
"Just watch carefully, and you will know it in a few days!" There are some things that cannot be taught by just talking. Some things require people to watch slowly, understand and feel them for themselves.
Shen Wenjiao nodded thoughtfully. If someone was willing to teach her, she would not be so stupid as to not study seriously. Although her mother had a talent in interpersonal communication that Shen Wenjiao could not understand, after all, their values and ideas were quite different, and Shen Wenjiao could not calm down and learn.
Jian Xingzhi is a true genius. He has a decent job, mature thinking, and the life he lives is what Shen Wenjiao longs for.
Shen Wenjiao wants to contribute to her country from the bottom of her heart, but she is also an ordinary, selfish person, and she does not want to give up her relatively comfortable life.
Shen Wenjiao admired those great revolutionary predecessors, but she could not become like them.
Patients came in one after another, Jian Xingzhi was very busy, and Shen Wenjiao, the assistant, also went from stumbling to being skilled and efficient.
When Shen Wenjiao was a high school student in her previous life, the worst thing she had heard of was women being sold into the mountains to be used as reproductive machines. The children in the mountains had no money to go to school and so on. It was pitiful but at least there was hope. At least the entire social environment was friendly to them and wanted to help them.
But now?
Even though it was explained that it was a free clinic, the first patients who came to see the doctor were men and children. Women only showed up hesitantly after waiting and watching, and this was because there were two female interns in their team.
"Her body has been severely overdrawn and is completely unsuitable for having another child! It is best for her to stay in bed and rest and avoid labor in the future." Mu Yueling whispered to Shen Wenjiao who came to help.
"No, I didn't tell her family. I just told her in a low voice! But~" Mu Yueling was about to say something but stopped. Su Yun added angrily.
"She is seeking death herself. What else can we do?"
Shen Wenjiao also thought of the woman whose dark complexion could not hide her weakness. After hearing what Mu Yueling said, she knelt down and seemed to be begging them in a desperate manner.
"Ms. Kindhearted, please help me. I don't have a son in my family. If I can't have children, I might as well die in the future."
She kept saying that she wanted to continue giving birth to sons, ignoring the fact that Mu Yueling and the others said that she would die if she gave birth to another one, and subconsciously forgot about the thin girl who supported her outside.
None of Shen Wenjiao and the others could help with this matter, and even their suggestions that the other party take more rest fell on deaf ears.
Shen Wenjiao looked at the villagers who were coming in ragged clothes and recalled a sentence she had heard before: doctors can cure diseases but cannot save lives.
Elderly people with deformed legs and feet and hunchbacks, children with big heads and small bodies and very little flesh, women whose uteruses have fallen out but the pregnancy has not stopped, and of course some men whose hands and feet are eroded and whose stomachs are always in pain, who still have to do heavy work to support their families even though they are not well fed.
Shen Wenjiao never thought that in this era, the elderly in the village were actually only middle-aged people in their forties or fifties. Life in poverty seemed to be very devastating, and their youth seemed to be very short.
In fact, Jian Xingzhi and his team lacked equipment and medicine for the free clinic, and many illnesses could not be cured. The feeling of helplessness was not good. Jian Xingzhi did not say a word of apology, and Shen Wenjiao felt even more depressed.
Fortunately, their free clinics do have a certain effect, and some mild illnesses can be cured. This gave Shen Wenjiao, who was seeing this for the first time, some comfort.
However, the villagers here still have a good life with hope, a landlord who is not harsh and a relatively stable living environment. As for other people who are experiencing war, their lives are even more miserable.
Shen Wenjiao shuddered at the mere thought of days like that, and felt hopeless.
This fact shocked Shen Wenjiao even though she was mentally prepared. However, the students living in the upper and middle classes of this era were hit even harder.
Mu Yueling no longer paid attention to her appearance and was busy all the time. Su Yun, a girl with a hot temper, was so angry that her eyes turned red several times, but she had to hold it back.
There were many people queuing up, and Shen Wenjiao and the others were busy until dark. They didn't have time to eat properly at noon, and only had time to quickly eat a few mouthfuls and drink some water.
Shen Wenjiao really felt exhausted!
