Chapter 408: The strong prey on the weak, and cure diseases
After get off work, he was always thinking about Su Qianqian.
Now that he has become a full-time doctor, the requirements in all aspects have become more stringent. Taking leave may become a luxury for him.
Unless it was something extremely urgent, he could only find a way to deal with it after get off work.
Over the past month, the department has taken very good care of him.
He has never worked a single night shift.
The reason for this is that he has to perform emergency surgeries every day, and he is the absolute main force. Working the night shift is very exhausting for doctors.
I also have to work a consecutive day shift and perform surgery on patients.
If something goes wrong, the loss to the department will be huge.
The night shift was not particularly short of staff, and Zhou Can was not a big problem. The most he could do was not to work the night shift, which would easily attract criticism from other doctors in the department.
There will definitely be people who feel psychologically unbalanced.
Walk out of the emergency department building and go straight to the underground garage.
People are afraid of becoming famous just like pigs are afraid of getting fat.
Now, he has become the main force of the emergency department, and he also sits in the pediatric department one day a week. He has also been in the limelight at the selection meeting for the director of the cardiothoracic surgery department. When dealing with personal matters, be as careful as possible.
The hospital has a large number of staff, and it is possible that any cleaning lady is a relative of a hospital leader.
If the content of the phone call was heard by someone with ulterior motives, it would definitely have an adverse impact on Zhou Can.
After getting into the Mercedes-Benz, he dialed the number of Chen Guoli, an old Chinese medicine doctor.
I can only shamelessly ask Dr. Chen to treat me.
"Mr. Chen, hello. I brought my girlfriend to your dormitory last night to see you for medical treatment, Xiao Zhou. Do you still remember me?"
"Is he the boyfriend of the girl who has kidney failure?"
"Yes, yes, yes! Now we are taking the medicine for three courses according to your instructions, and then stopping for a month. We went to the hospital for a follow-up check yesterday and found that the condition has recurred. Do you think it would be convenient for you to help us again?"
Zhou Can seemed respectful and polite.
If you want to ask for help from others, you must humble yourself.
“Convenient and convenient!”
Chen Guoli agreed readily.
"I'm very busy at work in the hospital during the day, so I can't take a day off. I can't wait to treat this illness. Can I come to your dormitory in the evening to see you?"
"Sure! Come over here! I'm in the dormitory at work!"
"Thank you so much! See you later!"
After Zhou Can greeted Chen Guoli, he quickly called Su Qianqian.
Ask Wei Fang to drive her directly to Chen Guoli's unit dormitory.
Zhou Can drove directly there.
This can save time to the greatest extent.
…
It was not far from Tuya Hospital to Chen Guoli’s dormitory. After more than 20 minutes, Zhou Can arrived at his destination.
However, he parked the car outside the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine and waited quietly to meet Su Qianqian.
Last time I went to see Dr. Chen with gifts, but was rejected.
This time he didn't make trouble for himself.
It’s better to go empty-handed.
Some doctors have high medical ethics and very low material demands. Respecting them is the best way to get along with them.
Not knowing when Su Qianqian would arrive, he took out his cell phone and flipped through it out of boredom.
There are also some work groups that I have joined.
Normally, he rarely reads messages in other work groups because he is currently working in the emergency department.
At this moment, I found that the cardiothoracic surgery group was particularly active, so out of curiosity I clicked in to check it out.
"The Third Hospital is awesome. This is the queue scene at the cardiothoracic surgery clinic that my friend took!"
Attached below are a few photos.
There was a long line of paper clips in the outpatient hall. It must have taken at least two hundred people to make it so spectacular.
Foreign experts are really popular!
Zhou Can couldn't help but sigh.
Today is the first day that the Japanese experts recruited by the Third Hospital have opened their surgery clinic to the public. The scene is truly spectacular.
It really makes me doubt whether there are really so many patients in the provincial capital who urgently need cardiac surgery?
Moreover, most patients undergoing cardiac surgery have acute and critical illnesses. If they are crowded together in the queue, and the best time for rescue is delayed, aren't you afraid of accidents?
Of course, it is not ruled out that the Third Hospital used marketing methods and invited some extras to act as stand-ins, sandwiched in the queue, to create a spectacular scene.
This kind of thing is not just exclusive to milk tea shops.
Many private hospitals have already learned this.
And he uses it to perfection.
"We only received 117 cardiac surgery patients in our outpatient and emergency departments today, and our business has shrunk severely. The Third Hospital is clearly riding on our shoulders now."
The person who spoke was a chief physician in the cardiothoracic surgery department.
This person is Deputy Director He's apprentice.
Generally speaking, it is not easy to obtain the day's outpatient and emergency statistics.
Deputy Director He instigated his doctors to spread such crisis-related remarks with sinister intentions.
And there are quite a few people who set the pace in the group.
This is the department's work group. When Director Hu Kan was alive, everyone spoke carefully.
The most common messages sent are meeting notices, business adjustment notices, invitations to so-and-so to come to the discussion room to participate in consultations, and other work-related statements.
Now that there is a big quarrel in the group, Director Xueyan must be under even greater pressure.
Her position as director is not as stable as imagined!
Women are naturally disadvantaged in the workplace, and after she took office, she did not take drastic measures to make an example of others. Deputy Director He relied on his seniority and strong connections, which probably caused her a lot of trouble.
I won't openly oppose her, but I am fully capable of causing her some trouble.
For example, right now, people are discussing crazily about how booming the outpatient department of the cardiothoracic surgery department of the Third Hospital is, and how the cardiothoracic surgery department of the Tuya Hospital is shrinking.
This is very unfavorable to Director Xueyan.
Everyone will just think that she, the new director, is incompetent and will not care about the objective reasons at all.
Director Xueyan did not speak in the group and remained silent.
Zhou Can was an outsider after all. He wanted to help her calm the situation, but unfortunately he was powerless.
The Third Hospital recruited a famous Japanese cardiac surgery expert and purchased a full set of imported equipment. This move was obviously a great success. Especially shortly after Director Hu Kan passed away, this feat instantly made the Third Hospital's cardiac surgery famous.
This is only the first day, and it is the beginning of the battle.
I believe that tomorrow there will be some heavy news. For example, a patient with heart disease has been seeking medical treatment in major hospitals in the province but to no avail. He has visited many famous doctors and can only receive conservative treatment and wait for death. A Japanese expert led a team to successfully perform surgery on the patient with top cardiac surgery skills and the world's most advanced surgical instruments, saving the patient's life...
There will definitely be similar propaganda.
By then, the Cardiac Surgery Department of the Third Hospital will surely become famous and become one of the best cardiac surgery departments in the province and even in the country.
It is undeniable that the Third Hospital’s strategy is very brilliant.
This move was a brilliant one.
Zhou Can exited Wu Zhaozhao's cardiothoracic surgery group and opened Director Xueyan's private chat box, wondering whether to give her a voice call.
After much consideration, he gave up.
At this moment, Director Xueyan must be under unimaginable pressure and is in a state of panic.
Calling her wouldn't help her at all, it would only make her more upset.
"It would be great if this storm could have come three to five years later."
Zhou Can sighed secretly.
His current surgical skills were, at best, at the level of a superior deputy director. In reality, he might not even be able to reach that level.
Because of his surgical skills, some of them are at the attending physician level, while others have recently been promoted to the deputy director level.
At the junior level of deputy director.
"Sister Yan, stabilize the situation. Don't seek credit, but avoid mistakes. I believe that as long as you and other chief physicians improve their surgical skills, we will eventually regain what we have lost."
Zhou Can typed a line of text, hesitated for a moment, and clicked send.
The wisest approach for cardiothoracic surgery today is to stay still like an old turtle, standing firm in spite of the external winds and waves.
A moment later, Zhou Can received a reply with an emoji of tears in the eyes.
He sighed.
Being an outsider, his feelings were definitely not as strong as Director Xueyan's.
I clicked on a hug emoji and was about to send it, but then I felt something was wrong.
There are differences between men and women, he and Xueyan treat each other as brother and sister and have a close relationship.
But they are not biological siblings after all.
Finally, the hug was changed to a strong expression.
"I will always have your back and be at your disposal at any time."
He added one more sentence.
"Thanks!"
Still an emoticon reply.
It can be seen that her mood must be extremely bad at the moment.
Outside, someone knocks on the car window.
Zhou Can turned around and saw that Su Qianqian and Wei Fang had arrived.
"Come in the car, let's go in."
"Boss, I'll wait for you in the car!"
Wei Fang asked Zhou Can for his opinion.
"good!"
Zhou Can considerately opened the passenger door and let Su Qianqian get in.
The Chinese Medicine Research Institute has a gate guarded by an old man in his sixties. It was the same old man who came last time.
It seems that the financial situation of this unit is very embarrassing.
"Uncle, hello. I'm looking for Mr. Chen Guoli. I've already made an appointment over the phone."
Zhou Can rolled down the window and said to the guard.
"Come in!"
The guard didn't ask any questions and just opened the retractable door to let us in.
Zhou Can had been here once and was familiar with the route. He parked his car in the compound and went straight to the dormitory for old employees.
In today's workplaces, offices and dormitories are built separately. Only in the old days would the employee residence and workplace be built together.
Looking at the dilapidated house, Zhou Can could indirectly feel the current development status of traditional Chinese medicine.
Knock on the door of the room where Mr. and Mrs. Chen live.
"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry to bother you again."
After meeting him, Zhou Can found that Mr. Chen looked thinner than before, his hair was paler and a little curly.
"It makes me happiest to help patients solve their problems. So please don't think you are causing me trouble. Please come in and sit down!"
Chen Guoli let the two men into the house.
It was still Chen Guoli's wife who made tea for the two of them and entertained them warmly.
"Girl, put your hand on the pulse pillow. I'll take your pulse first."
Chen Guoli examined Su Qianqian carefully, then closed his eyes and pondered in silence.
This kind of performance made Zhou Can's heart sink.
There is a saying in the medical field: We are not afraid of Western medicine smiling, but we are afraid of Chinese medicine looking down.
If a Chinese medicine practitioner lowers his eyelids or even closes his eyes in deep thought, it means the condition is complicated or serious and difficult to treat.
"Her condition is not bad. There is still a lesion in her left kidney, but her right kidney has basically recovered to normal. You have stopped taking the medicine for a month, right?"
"Well, it's been exactly one month and one day since I stopped taking the medicine. I went to the hospital for a follow-up check yesterday."
Su Qianqian nodded.
"Young man, I see that you have a strong aura. You two should not be ordinary people. I believe there will be no problem with financial resources. Have you looked for the two main herbs?"
Mr. Chen Guoli has an excellent memory. He still remembers clearly what happened half a year ago.
Traditional Chinese medicine knows how to regulate the body, and it seems that what it says is true.
"I've tried to look for it, but I haven't found it yet. These two herbs are very hard to find. I've also asked Rui's company, but they haven't made any breakthroughs in the artificial cultivation technology of purple-backed octagonal lotus yet. No one knows how long it will take to find the two main herbs."
Zhou Can spoke of this with bitterness in his mouth.
Having money is not everything.
"Well, that's normal. I will prescribe a kidney-nourishing treatment plan for her for now. Although it can't completely cure the disease, it can ensure that the kidneys don't progress. This way, it can buy time for you to find the two main medicines."
After listening to the patient, Chen Guoli gave a new treatment plan.
The term recuperation
Only Traditional Chinese Medicine has the ability to use nourishing therapy to stop the progression of the disease.
Although Western medicine also has the concept of immunotherapy, it is far inferior to traditional Chinese medicine, which has thousands of years of history, in terms of health care.
"If conditions permit, you can use a ginseng that is over a hundred years old every year. Remember, take it in multiple doses and don't take it too fast. What she needs to do now is to nourish her, not replenish her."
After Chen Guoli finished writing the kidney-nourishing prescription, he wrote another prescription and gave it to Zhou Can.
"Young man, I can see that you are a responsible man. This prescription is the one passed down by my master for treating kidney failure. It can cure the root cause. It contains the combination and treatment course. Once you find the two main herbs, if I am no longer in this world, you can prepare the medicine according to the prescription yourself."
Mr. Chen’s words made Zhou Can’s eyes moisten suddenly.
He looked up at the ceiling, which was old and mottled, and then rubbed his eyes.
"Oh, this building is old, and it seems to be losing some sand."
"Want to wash up?"
Chen Guoli asked with concern.
"No, no, I'm much better now. Thank you for giving me this ancestral recipe. I will definitely cherish your kindness and the benevolence of a doctor."
Zhou Can thanked him sincerely.
"It's not enough to just cherish it, you have to inherit it. This is the greatest reward for me." Chen Guoli said with a double meaning.
"good!"
Zhou Can nodded heavily.
He understood what Chen Guoli meant, which was to ask Zhou Can to not only inherit the prescription, but also the doctor's kindness.
"When I came in just now, I saw that the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine was very shabby, and I felt bad. You wouldn't accept any gifts you gave you. You only charged 6 yuan for each consultation, which made Qianqian and I feel very bad. I have an idea to donate one million yuan to your institute, either for infrastructure or research. Do you think it's okay?"
There was a hidden meaning behind Zhou Can's question to Chen Guoli.
Many units appear old and dilapidated, but internal corruption is actually extremely serious.
Losing one million is nothing to Zhou Can. His monthly income is far more than one million.
But he would definitely not want the donated money to be eaten by the rats in the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
"This is a good idea. The house is a little shabby, but it's habitable. It's more than ten times better than the mud house we lived in when we were young. Use this one million for Chinese medicine research! I can assure you that every penny will be used for practical purposes and your kindness will not be tarnished."
Chen Guoli was an experienced man, so he naturally understood the deeper meaning of Zhou Can's words.
"Give me an account and I'll transfer the money to it tomorrow."
For the first time, Zhou Can felt from the bottom of his heart that he should make a small contribution to the cause of traditional Chinese medicine in his motherland.
