Previously during the month of August, Landon had allocated a large estate within the upper region to the dical volunteers.
He decided to let the estate be a dical & Healthcare Academy.
dical care emphasized on disease treatnt and care..... While healthcare looked at signs, prevention of diseases, and health promotion and awareness.
Generally, dical and Healthcare had more than hundreds of different professions within it.
From pharmacists to dical assistants, ergency dical technicians, cardiac surgeons, nutritionists, radiation therapists, and so on.
In future, these students would have to specialize in particular areas and perform several operations and jobs within the hospital and clinics.
For now, Landon had given them schedules which they had to follow strictly.
They also had to attend the math, Chemistry and Pyno classes being taught within Baymard.
Chemistry was basically a main course for them... understanding matter, chemical reactions that occur within the body, and chemical compositions within dical drugs was a necessity.
Right now, 100 volunteers had also joined the Academy within this month.. making a total of 200 students.
For their schedules, aside from math, Pyno and Chemistry, the students also took:
??First aid classes
??Wound care & treatnt classes
??dical rules & ethics classes
??dical massage therapy classes
??Patient care, managent and recording classes
??Patient communication classes
??Disease managent & treatnt classes
??And finally.... ’Hospital ti’, where different groups of students would spend 3.5 hours in the hospital aiding the nurses and doctors.
With the schedule that Landon had made, on a daily basis the hospital had students who ca over and took care of the patients... under the supervision of the nurses and doctors.
The students also did hospital rounds, comforted the patients and did other dical tasks.
In this way, they were learning and practicing at the sa ti.
Today, Nurse Shanelle had 2 groups to supervise during her 8 hour shift.
The first group of 15 students, would co for 3 and a half hours....While the other group would co after her lunch break.
.
Once all the students from the first group had arrived at the front of the hospital, she began her roll call.
"Kenneth Carby!"
"Present!"
"Quebo Jones"
"Present!"
"___"
As she called out their nas, she used a blue pen to tick their nas on the list that she was holding.
Once roll call was done, she led them to the locker room that had spare lab coats, gloves, rubber shoes, hair caps, face masks and so on.
The students quickly wore the lab coats and shoes provided, as well as put their gloves and face masks in their lab coat pockets.
Once everyone was done, they followed nurse Shanelle to her office for a 30 minute eting.
It was now 8:30 A.M, and Shanelle’s shift started at 9 A.M... the students were told to always co at least 35 minutes earlier.
"2 days ago, your group ca to the hospital and worked under .....We have been working together since the start of August..... So you all know the drill."
The seated students imdiately took out their notebooks and pens, as they waited for her questions.
"Patient Julianna in Ward B-2, says that her tummy is constantly upset, her stomach feels like it’s full of water (bloated), she vomits a lot, and her tummy aches as well.
She also says that she always feels like going to relief herself, she has a fever, and she passes out a lot of gas frequently.
She also has trouble swallowing, always feels nauseous, and her stool is loose and watery..... . Causes.. Go!!"
The students raised their hands in attempt to give their hypotheses.
"It could be due to indigestion.. she might have been used to eating food without drinking water.... After all from the lectures, indigestion is known to cause bloating, gas release, and deep aches and pains around the belly."
"Hmm... your answer could have been correct.... but how do you explain the other symptoms?"
"It could have also been diarrhea!!.. all the symptoms match it well"
Nurse Shanelle smiled.
"Correct, the patient is indeed suffering from diarrhea... so what causes diarrhea?"
"Allergies"
"Lactose intolerance"
"Food poisoning"
"___"
All the possibilities listed down were in fact correct.
But for this case, food poisoning was the main cause of the issue.
In this era, people didn’t have fridges and better ways to store food... Hence, they didn’t know the aning of expiration dates.
For them, food was edible unless it was visibly rotten.
These people would cook food and leave it outside for days, while eating it.
In fact a lot of them died from food poisoning, and had tummy aches frequently.
For these people, it was normal to eat and have tummy aches.. provided fever and sickness didn’t take their lives.
Even when their at, bread and other food items were molded, they would scrape away the molded parts and continue eating the foods.
At least with the existence of plastic bags and containers in Baymard, the people could successfully cover their food from flies.
But that still didn’t change the fact that all food items would expire.
Landon had taken his ti to write books on basic hygiene, and the causes, symptoms and treatnts of common problems that almost everyone back on earth knew.
He wrote about lactose intolerance, malaria, fever, the common flu or cold, rash treatnts, sore throat pain, the importance of washing hands and so on.
Although he hadn’t received the dical reward from the system, he wrote about these everyday illnesses based on what he knew.
Landon was sure that everyone on earth had gotten sore throat, fever, flu, headaches, tummy aches, and all the other ’easy’ illnesses at so point of their lives.
"Good!!!... so since her diarrhea was caused by food poisoning, how do we solve it?"
"Have her go on a clear liquid diet for 1 day, so that her upset stomach can settle down."
"Have her hydrate by drinking a lot of water regularly"
"Letting her avoid milk and spicy foods"
"Having her drink a mixture of boiled ginger and water.... this could reduce inflammation along the throat, as well as strengthen her stomach"
"Plus ginger would also act as a good antibiotic."
"For her fever, nausea and headache..... we could also add ’featherfew’, milkvetch root, and white peony root to the ginger-water mixture"
Nurse Shanelle and the students discussed amongst themselves, and ca up with the perfect treatnt for Patient Julianna.. As well as several other patients in the other Wards.
They had used 5 minutes to talk about each patient on Shanelle’s patient checklist.
And after 30 minutes, it was ti finally for her shift to begin.
Shanelle gave each person in the team specific duties for the day.
So were in charge of preparing and boiling all the dicines for all the patients on the roster, as per Shanelle’s instructions.
Others were in charge of communicating with the patients about their illnesses, dication and prevention of their sicknesses.
So also did therapy massages, wound treatnts and and so on.
Of course, before any dication was administered, Shanelle was present to supervise the students... she was also the one that wrote in the patient’s dical book as well.
Each ti the group ca over to the hospital, their duties would change... this was done so that they would gain experience and understanding towards all dical procedures within the hospital.
And just like that by the end of the group’s shift, Shanelle had a 10 minute eting with them on what they did right today, as well as their individual mistakes.
.
As the group made their way out of the hospital, they kept discussing the events of the day amongst themselves excitedly.
They loved the comnts that they had gotten from the patients, as well as those from their supervisor Nurse Shanelle.
Treating people’s illnesses, also made them have a sense of accomplishnt.
In their opinion, volunteering and choosing to be dical / healthcare students was the best decision that they had made throughout their entire lives.
They had everything.. money, food, housing and job satisfaction... ... what more could they want?
They were proud to be seen as future doctors and nurses of Baymard.
