Chapter 374: Medicinal Herb Cultivation Base, Regular Training Completed
"If I don't charge you 6 yuan for the consultation, you'll probably come back with gifts next time! Okay, you pay the 6 yuan consultation fee!"
Old Chen said with a smile.
"Haha, thank you! If the big hospitals follow your example, ordinary people won't have to look down on medical care!"
Zhou Can paid 6 yuan on the spot and left Chen's house with the gift.
Mr. Chen stood up to see him off.
This also shows that he has a good impression of Zhou Can.
"Please stay!"
Zhou Can's visit at night was disturbing enough. How could he dare to let him see him off? He quickly turned around and persuaded Chen Lao to go back to the house.
"The second dose of medicine needs to be taken for more than half a year. If you feel any discomfort or your condition recurs, you must not be careless and you can come to me for a follow-up consultation at any time."
Old Chen gave them instructions.
"Okay! May I ask, are you currently artificially cultivating the purple-backed ocellatum, one of the two main herbs you mentioned?" Zhou Can was very concerned about this matter.
When he does things, he always likes to prepare for the worst.
Prepare the two main herbs in advance. If they are not needed, Su Qianqian's illness will be cured, which is the best. If they are really needed, it will be difficult to find them at the last minute.
This is like buying insurance. Everyone hopes nothing will happen, but if something does happen, it's a guarantee.
"The cultivation of this endangered herb requires specialized forestry and grass science talents. We mainly conduct research on traditional Chinese medicine here, and do not cultivate herbs. At present, in our province, Rui's Chinese herbal medicine base is doing well. Rui's company is currently cultivating this purple-backed octagonal lotus."
Mr. Chen hesitated for two or three seconds before revealing the news to Zhou Can.
"The octagonal lotus itself is an endangered wild herb. Its rhizomes are used for medicinal purposes and can treat injuries from falls, hemiplegia, joint pain, snake bites, etc. The purple-backed octagonal lotus is a variant of the octagonal lotus. The back of its leaves is purple, and the roots are also purple. I have never seen this medicine with my own eyes. According to my master's description, wild purple-backed octagonal lotus grows under forests on hillsides, in bushes, in shady and wet places beside streams, under bamboo forests, or under evergreen forests on limestone mountains. Ordinary octagonal lotus can be found at altitudes above 300 meters, but purple-backed octagonal lotus can only be found on cold peaks above 2,000 meters and in snowy forests."
"Also, it is best to use herbs that are more than three years old. If the herbs are not old enough, it will be difficult to achieve the desired therapeutic effect."
After listening to Mr. Chen’s story, Zhou Can finally understood how difficult it was to find this main medicine.
"Then the herb cultivation base you mentioned, even if they succeed in cultivating it, it will take three years before it can be used as medicine. Waiting for such a long time, there are too many variables. Is there any other channel to buy it?"
Zhou Can was eager to find the two main medicines needed immediately to cure his girlfriend.
"This medicine is hard to find. As far as I know, only Rui's company is cultivating this herb. Although ordinary octagonal lotus is also an endangered herb, it can basically be bought as long as you put in some effort. Purple-backed octagonal lotus has very little demand for its own use and no market prospects, so there is no profit drive. Pharmaceutical companies are rarely willing to spend a lot of money to cultivate these special herbs with low demand. Rui's company is willing to cultivate a small amount of purple-backed octagonal lotus because it cultivates the octagonal lotus variety."
Mr. Chen shook his head and said that the market decides everything.
Few people are willing to do things that have no benefits.
"Xiao Zhou, you don't have to worry too much about this. Your girlfriend's kidneys haven't suffered any serious damage. It's not correct to diagnose her condition according to Western medicine's examination standards. Let me treat her for a while and see. If her kidney qi recovers, there will be no need to use other prescriptions for treatment."
Mr. Chen comforted the two of them.
"Okay! Thank you for diagnosing my girlfriend and answering my questions. Goodbye!"
Zhou Can said goodbye and left with his girlfriend.
If he had a chance, he decided to contact the owner of Rui's Enterprise. Since he could cultivate purple-backed octagonal lotus, it meant that he had at least one wild purple-backed octagonal lotus or its seeds.
As for the other main ingredient, the seven-color toad, also known as the rainbow toad, according to historical records, the last three appeared in 1924. Since then, no one has found this species again.
Since it is related to whether his girlfriend's kidney disease can be cured, Zhou Can will find ways to help her find these two main medicines no matter how high the cost or how difficult it is.
The next day, after Zhou Can got off work, he just walked out the door and saw Director Jian of the Nephrology Department sitting on a bench in the corridor.
Seeing Zhou Can coming over, Director Jian stood up and smiled from a distance.
Waving at him.
"Director Jian, are you waiting for me?"
"I wasn't at home last night, and you spent a lot of money to buy me such expensive tonics. Thank you so much! I thought I would come over to thank you in person and treat you to a meal. Also, please don't give me gifts again in the future."
Director Jian is well aware of Zhou Can's development potential. Even though he is currently the chief physician and deputy director of the Department of Nephrology, Zhou Can's future achievements are likely to be much higher than his.
And in terms of character, Director Jian is not as bad as imagined.
A gentleman loves money, but he gets it in a proper way.
It is normal to have some gray income. Basically, formal doctors and nurses who have worked in the hospital for a long time can earn some gray income as long as they have a little power or ability.
People call it making extra money.
This money may not necessarily be earned by defrauding patients.
They would take kickbacks for prescribing medicine, endorse a certain pharmacy or clinic, or cure a patient who was rich and powerful, and the patient would treat them to a meal out of gratitude. Then they would gradually become familiar with each other and become friends.
If your family members get some help from others in business or work, it is normal extra income.
In addition, it is not illegal for nurses and doctors to take on some private work in their spare time after get off work.
The money earned is hard-earned and the work is technical.
"That's just my kind gesture. I hope you don't mind it! Speaking of treating you to a meal, it should be me who treats you. If you hadn't recommended my girlfriend to see Dr. Chen, she would still be struggling in pain!"
Zhou Can felt that no matter how expensive the gift was, it would not be too expensive for Director Jian.
"Hehe, I just said it, giving you some good advice. How is your girlfriend doing now?"
Director Jian asked with a smile.
"I had a checkup yesterday and her condition miraculously did not progress, and the most important thing, her creatinine level, actually dropped by 31 points. Traditional Chinese medicine is really amazing. I still don't understand why it can cure chronic renal failure!"
Speaking of this, Zhou Can is still puzzled.
According to the medical knowledge he had learned, once chronic renal failure occurs, it cannot be reversed and will only continue to progress. Any treatment can only slow down the progression of the disease.
However, my girlfriend's condition did improve after receiving treatment with traditional Chinese medicine.
Zhou Can couldn't figure out this thing that overturned medical knowledge no matter how hard he tried.
"You can't figure it out, right? Actually, it's nothing. Not all cases of chronic renal failure can be cured by TCM. It varies from person to person. Some are more suitable for Western medicine, while others are more suitable for TCM. I have carefully read the test results of your girlfriend. Based on her description of her condition and my experience, I think TCM can work. Fortunately, the results are satisfactory."
In other words, Su Qianqian's case is not replicable.
Unless other patients with chronic renal failure are like her, their kidneys themselves are not damaged.
"I understand a little bit, but I still don't quite understand it."
Zhou Can does not have a deep understanding of the medical theories and mechanisms of traditional Chinese medicine.
Simply saying it is about regulating the body's yin and yang balance is still too profound.
"It's time to get off work now. How about we go to a restaurant and have a meal while we talk? You gave me such an expensive tonic. I have to treat you to a good meal so that I can feel at ease. If I return the things to you, it would seem hypocritical of me. So, please don't give me gifts again next time."
Director Jian emphasized this twice in a row, which was really to tell Zhou Can not to give him gifts in the future.
"Okay, okay, I won't send you off next time! I'm afraid I can't go to dinner with you today. I have to go to the cardiothoracic surgery department to learn about surgery from Director Hu. He's already very unhappy about my frequent leave."
Zhou Can said with a wry smile.
"Haha, Director Hu Kan is willing to pass on his skills to you. I wonder how many people are envious! If you have something to do, go and do it. We can have dinner together another day."
Director Jian readily agreed.
It is a great thing that Zhou Can is valued by Director Hu.
As Zhou Can learned more and more cardiothoracic surgery skills, his diagnostic ability in the field of cardiothoracic surgery continued to improve, and his surgical skills improved to an exaggerated level.
The main reason is that most of the operations performed are high-difficulty major operations, and there are too many opportunities to earn 100 medical experience points.
It’s like picking up experience points every day.
…
Time flies, and happy and fulfilling days always pass quickly.
Zhou Can now basically goes to Su Qianqian's place to spend the night after get off work every day, to accompany her and live with her.
He bought a car for the convenience of commuting to get off work.
A black Mercedes worth more than 700,000 yuan.
He doesn't have any business engagements, and just wants to use the car for transportation, so a car of this level is more than enough.
As for buying a super luxury car worth more than 10 million yuan, he never thought about it. His parents instilled in him the excellent qualities of thrift, careful planning, and low-key... from a young age.
His parents told him since he was young that he should not compare with other children in terms of fancy clothes or superior family background, but should compare his academic performance, his savings and soft power in all aspects.
For example, sports, calligraphy, foreign language speaking and so on.
It is precisely these excellent qualities cultivated since childhood that have helped Zhou Can to walk so steadily along the way.
I've fallen and stumbled before, but never a big stumble .
The bad habits of those playboys are almost never seen in him.
Su Qianqian's treatment has been progressing in a good direction, so Zhou Can is no longer so anxious about finding the two main medicines. He just secretly pays attention to information in this regard.
There is another thing worth mentioning. He had an appointment with the person in charge of Rui's Enterprise, but the result was tragic. He couldn't even get into the door of Rui's Enterprise.
All we know is that the person in charge of Rui’s Enterprise is a very capable woman.
He had no idea what she looked like
The head of the Ruishi Enterprises is extremely low-key and never accepts any interviews. There is no information about her in newspapers, television and other news media.
Before I knew it, more than seven months had passed in the blink of an eye.
Su Qianqian went to the hospital for two checkups. Her creatinine level continued to decrease, and her glomerular filtration rate increased steadily each time.
This is a miracle created by traditional Chinese medicine.
Zhou Can gradually developed some interest in traditional Chinese medicine. Unfortunately, he was too busy with work and had a lot to learn every day, including practicing the basic skills of both fast and steady knife techniques.
I really can't squeeze out more time to learn more about traditional Chinese medicine.
Before he knew it, his three-year training period had finally expired.
After thirty-six months of hard work, we have finally achieved a satisfactory result.
He went through the internal medicine, surgery, and almost all the important sub-departments. Unlike other interns who just studied superficially, he studied deeply no matter which department he entered.
Others go in for regular training, but he goes in for specialized training.
The teaching resources you enjoy are all top-notch.
Director Tan of the Internal Medicine Department personally taught him for a period of time. As for Director Yin Hua of the Neurology Department, who already admired him, that was even more true.
From the first day Zhou Can entered the Department of Neurology, Director Yin Hua personally taught him.
When imparting various neurological medical knowledge, clinical experience, and diagnosis and treatment techniques to him, Director Yin Hua taught him everything he knew without reservation. Zhou Can himself could clearly feel this.
Because when Director Yin Hua teaches his graduate students, he will only explain many things when he encounters them.
When teaching Zhou Can, he gave him special attention and was extra patient.
Often, we will expand the scope by starting from a point, explaining the various diseases involved one by one and conducting in-depth analysis.
It was Director Yin Hua's careful teaching, coupled with Zhou Can's understanding and diligence, that made Zhou Can improve day by day. In just over a month, Zhou Can was able to independently handle cases that graduate students could not handle.
He was very competent in prescribing various medical orders, prescribing medicines, performing interventional treatments, and prescribing various examination items. And he was getting stronger and stronger.
Especially when Zhou Cankai inspects projects, he always adheres to the principle of excellence.
On the premise of ensuring the accuracy of the diagnosis, never prescribe two tests if one can.
Because of this, the medical technology department had some complaints about him.
Zhou Can, however, did what he wanted, and he refused to admit that he had done anything wrong. In addition, he had several chief doctors protecting him, so he remained safe.
In the director's office of the Department of Internal Medicine, Director Tan put down the work at hand and looked at Zhou Can kindly.
"Xiao Zhou, your training is over, and it's time for you to officially start working. Do you really want to go back to the emergency department?"
Director Tan really hopes to let him stay.
"Well, I will report to the emergency department tomorrow and start working directly. During the past year or so of internal medicine training, I am very grateful for your tolerance and care for me. It can be said that without your help, I would not have been able to learn so much knowledge and skills in internal medicine."
Zhou Can's heart had already flown to the emergency department.
