[Explanation] Recently, the village doctor Zhang Tangxiang put the medicine box in the back seat of the car, and then drove to the homes of several elderly people in Gumu Village, Shibeiping Town, Liubei District, Liuzhou City, Guangxi, to measure blood oxygen for them.
[Explanation] Similar to many villages, the elderly account for a large proportion of the permanent population in Gumu Village, and most of them suffer from underlying diseases.
In rural areas, the elderly are the objects that village doctors need to focus on.
Zhang Tangxiang visits the house regularly every quarter to conduct blood pressure, blood sugar, blood oxygen and other tests to understand the health status of the elderly.
[Explanation] In the past, the stethoscope, sphygmomanometer, and thermometer were the "old three pieces" that were carried when visiting the doctor.
Today, Zhang Tangxiang also puts "new N pieces" such as finger-clip oximeters in his medicine chest.

It is much better than before. Medical equipment used to be the "old three", thermometers, sphygmomanometers, and stethoscopes.
Now (there are) oximeters, and EKG machines (etc.) are available.
(Medical conditions) vary widely.
[Explanation] With the newly added equipment in the clinic, Zhang Tangxiang walked into a courtyard surrounded by red bricks, and an old man was sitting by the door waiting.
He clipped the oximeter on the old man's finger, and the real-time data was displayed on the electronic screen soon.
[Live voice] There is no lack of oxygen yet, it's okay.
Sorry to trouble you.
no trouble.
[Explanation] Back in the car, Zhang Tangxiang let out a long sigh of relief.
On the way back, looking at the village clinic slowly approaching, he recalled the scene when the last round of new coronavirus infections peaked.

Every morning when you arrive here (clinic), dozens of people will wait for you here, and you will be seen (diagnosed) until noon, and you will not eat a piece of bread and (drink) a glass of milk until 2 o'clock (afternoon), and you will live like this.
Because there are too many patients, some people still wait at 11 o'clock at night.
It's a little better now, and now basically, a relatively normal amount of diagnosis and treatment.
[Explanation] In the pharmacy of the clinic of Gumu Village, Shibeiping Town, the glass cabinets are full of medicines.
Zhang Tangxiang said that before the peak of the infection, the clinic has a certain amount of medicines for the normal use of the villagers.
At present, antipyretic, heat-clearing and detoxifying drugs are relatively sufficient.
[Explanation] In the past three years, Zhang Tangxiang did not return to his hometown for guests to reunite with his family, but chose to celebrate the New Year on the spot in Liuzhou.
This year, he brought his mother to Liuzhou.
Zhang Tangxiang said that this year can be a year of reunion.
