Why do experts and directors from various top-tier hospitals frequently appear at a community clinic? Why do nationally renowned experts and professors often visit a township-level health center?
This situation is not too urgent. As long as it is not delayed too long or other messy treatments are not performed, it will not affect the patient's condition in the short term.
Ma Tiequan has been working at Xihua Hospital for more than 20 years and is familiar with the situation there. Xihua Hospital is a general hospital, but Western medicine accounts for a large proportion. If the emergency department is not allowed to conduct examinations and neurosurgeons and neuroendocrinologists are not consulted, he may not be able to get a say even if he goes there now.
Nowadays, the attitude of many Western medicine doctors towards traditional Chinese medicine is that they will only ask a traditional Chinese medicine doctor for consultation and treatment when there is really no other way. When the patient is just brought in, it is naturally not the turn of the traditional Chinese medicine doctor to treat him.
In the entire Zhongzhou Province, there are only a few Chinese medicine doctors who are respected wherever they go. Qu Tongwen is one of them, and Ma Tiequan is just one of the many department heads of Xihua Hospital.
"Doctor Lin, Doctor Huang."
In the emergency room, Fan Jiangyuan explained the situation to the two doctors, neurosurgeon and neuroendosurgeon.
"The patient was hit by a teapot lid thrown from upstairs. From the looks of it, there's only one external wound on the top of his head, which isn't too large. Apart from that, there are no other injuries. The patient is currently unconscious, and we suspect he may have suffered an intracranial hemorrhage."
"Have you had a brain CT scan?"
asked Lin Wenyun, the chief neurosurgeon.
"I've already ordered a brain CT scan, and the results should be out soon." Fan Jiangyuan nodded.
"From the examination, it seems that he lost too much blood, but this coma is probably not caused by blood loss alone."
Huang Liyang, the attending neurosurgeon, also conducted a detailed examination of the patient. He then looked at the blood test report and said, "The blood loss is within the specified range. We'll just have to wait and see what the CT scan shows."
As the three of them discussed, the resident doctor nearby answered a phone call and said to Fan Jiangyuan, "Doctor Fan, the patient's brain CT scan is out, and there's no evidence of intracranial hemorrhage."
Fan Jiangyuan walked to the computer next to him and pulled out the patient's CT report. Huang Liyang and Lin Wenyun were also standing by and watching.
"There is indeed no intracranial hemorrhage."
Lin Wenyun frowned. "That's strange. There's no intracranial hemorrhage, just simple external trauma. How could he be unconscious?"
"Does the patient have a history of hypertension, hyperlipidemia and diabetes?" Huang Liyang asked.
"We have already asked about it. The patient has mild hyperlipidemia, but no hypertension or diabetes. He is in good health and has a good appetite and sleep," said Fan Jiangyuan.
“That shouldn’t be the case!”
Huang Liyang looked at the patient's examination report again and asked, "Where are the patient's family members?"
"It's just outside." Fan Jiangyuan said.
“Ask the patient’s family.”
Huang Liyang said this and walked out of the emergency room, with Lin Wenyun and Fan Jiangyuan following behind him.
"doctor!"
Seeing the doctor come out, Mr. Yang's son hurried forward and asked, "Doctor, how is my dad?"
"Don't worry too much. The test results are out. Intracranial hemorrhage can be ruled out. There is no danger to life for the time being. The patient is just unconscious. We need to ask you about some situations." Huang Liyang said.
"Ask, ask." Uncle Yang's son nodded hurriedly.
"Has the patient ever experienced sudden coma, dizziness, tinnitus, vertigo, etc.?" Huang Liyang asked.
"No." Uncle Yang's son shook his head.
"Are there any heart problems?" Huang Liyang asked again.
"No, my dad has always been in good health. The community hospital provides free physical examinations to the elderly on a regular basis. My dad was fine in every way during his physical examination last year."
Uncle Yang’s son said.
"hiss!"
Huang Liyang and Lin Wenyun were both a little confused. What was going on?
"Doctor, when my father was sent to the hospital, a doctor from the community hospital examined him and said that it was some kind of cold invasion or something." Grandpa Yang's son remembered Yun Heng's statement and mentioned it by the way.
"What cold air or hot air?"
Fan Jiangyuan said angrily, "Are the doctors at your community hospital so arrogant that they can even treat brain injuries?"
Uncle Yang's son remained silent. After all, this was Xihua Hospital, the best hospital in Zhongzhou Province. Naturally, he trusted the doctors at Xihua Hospital more.
