Chapter 102: Do you really think this guesthouse is your private property?
Dean Gou was stunned for a moment, but he wasn't angry at being humiliated in front of so many people.
He then stepped aside to make way for Ning Tang behind him, and introduced her with a smile: "Dean Wang, this is Ning Tang, a young doctor in our Traditional Chinese Medicine department. Don't let her young age fool you, she is very talented."
Upon hearing this, Ning Tang quickly stepped forward and nodded politely.
"Hello Dean Wang, I am Ning Tang."
Upon seeing the legendary figure, Dean Wang's eyes lit up. He reached out and patted her on the shoulder, his tone full of warmth:
"I'm so glad to finally meet you in person!"
"I recently reviewed the case report of the craniotomy you performed with Professor Ming from Beijing, which combined traditional Chinese and Western medicine. The approach of using acupuncture in conjunction with hemostasis and qi stagnation was exactly what I was looking for!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Hairong, who was following behind, immediately turned dark.
She had originally hoped to steal the spotlight at the meeting, but unexpectedly, Ning Tang had already become famous outside thanks to Professor Ming.
Zhou Hairong hated him to death.
If she had known that Professor Ming would come from Beijing after she took leave, she would never have asked him!
Thinking of his daughter Lu Niannian as the source, Zhou Hairong knew that he had taken leave to take care of his daughter, but he couldn't help feeling a little resentful.
She always has something going on as soon as the child comes back; is she cursed by bad luck...?
Ning Tang was a little embarrassed by the praise. She said softly, "You flatter me. I've just loved traditional Chinese medicine since I was a child and have a little more experience in it. Since coming to our hospital, I feel that I still have a lot to improve."
"What's with the modesty!"
"You're a genius, girl. If you're still modest, what are we idiots supposed to do?"
Dean Wang and Ning Tang walked side by side, and he personally led her to the conference room, talking as they walked.
"I invited you here today specifically so that your hospital could have a good talk with the TCM and orthopedics departments of our two cities."
“Last time, there was a soldier who recovered slowly after Western medicine surgery removed the bullet, and he kept saying that the bones near the wound hurt. I wanted to ask you skilled doctors in the military region for advice.”
The group entered the conference room, where many doctors were already seated.
Seeing Dean Wang personally lead Ning Tang to her seat and arrange for her to sit next to the head of the table, everyone couldn't help but take a second look at the newcomers.
After all, I had only heard her name before, but I didn't expect her to be such a young female doctor who looked pregnant.
Zhou Hairong, the director of the Traditional Chinese Medicine department, was surprisingly assigned to a corner outside the office.
Seeing Ning Tang surrounded by a group of powerful figures, her face twisted with rage.
"Are you angry?" Wang Yingying's voice suddenly rang out from the side; she happened to be sitting next to Zhou Hairong.
Seeing Zhou Hairong frown and glare at him, he even raised his eyebrows in a very provocative manner.
"What do you mean?"
"It doesn't mean anything, it's just the literal meaning." Wang Yingying gave a generous smile. "It would be best to make someone angry, after all, this meeting is too boring, it's better to have some fun."
"you!"
Zhou Hairong's eyes widened. If there were flames behind her, Wang Yingying would probably be engulfed in flames by now.
"Don't think that just because you're close to Ning Tang, I won't dare to touch you!"
"What does this have to do with Ning Tang? I hate you, I can't stand you, so what? Does that mean that anyone in this world who hates you is Ning Tang's person?"
Wang Yingying was completely unconcerned about Zhou Hairong's threat to kick her out of the hospital; she even took the initiative to resign from the hospital.
She'd had enough of being a doctor long ago.
Facing a group of tantrum-throwing people every day makes me feel like I've lost ten years of my life!
Moreover, the hospital director has recently been extremely annoyed by those who cause trouble for medical staff. Whenever a doctor says they want to quit, even if it's just a casual remark, he acts as if it's a major crisis.
Zhou Hairong said he had been kicked out of the hospital, but Wang Yingying didn't believe him at all.
Zhou Hairong was furious at Wang Yingying's nonchalant attitude, but he didn't dare to vent his anger in the conference room.
Surrounded by prominent figures from both cities, causing a scene would only result in losing face for oneself.
Seeing her frustrated expression, Wang Yingying was even more amused and deliberately lowered her voice to add, "Besides, you'd better see if you can do anything to me first."
"You don't know this, do you? My dad works for the provincial health department. If you really push me too far, we'll have a serious talk."
These words were like a hammer blow, completely stunning Zhou Hairong.
She had always known that Wang Yingying's parents were elusive, but she hadn't expected their background to be so extraordinary, and her earlier arrogance vanished instantly.
He could only turn his face away resentfully, pretending to look at the documents on the table.
On the other side.
The meeting has officially begun.
Dean Wang stood up and began writing down the details of the patient's injury on the blackboard, followed by a detailed explanation of the patient's current post-operative condition.
Half an hour later, everyone was at a loss.
The man was seriously injured; the bullet grazed his nerves. Given the medical conditions of the 1970s, it was already a remarkable achievement to save him.
This person keeps complaining of bone pain from the wound, but a CT scan didn't reveal anything wrong.
Dean Wang initially suspected that the patient had developed psychological trauma.
“Psychological trauma should certainly be considered, but it can’t be attributed entirely to this,” Ning Tang suddenly spoke, her clear voice quiet in the otherwise peaceful conference room.
“I just read the pathology report, which said that the patient’s pain was more severe on rainy days and he couldn’t sleep at night because of the pain. This is more like the blood and qi stagnation in the meridians after surgery, which has not been completely cleared.”
Hearing Ning Tang speak, Zhou Hairong below secretly rolled his eyes.
I thought to myself, "You get all worked up just because someone says you're fat."
Despite being in the profession for so many years, she has only learned the basics of traditional Chinese medicine. She can only make a diagnosis by observing, listening, inquiring, and feeling the pulse in front of the patient.
Ning Tang only glanced at the pathology report, yet she dared to stand up and speak?
They're so young and don't know what's good for them. It'll be funny if they make a fool of themselves later.
Ning Tang was unaware that Zhou Hairong was secretly hoping to see her make a fool of herself. At that moment, she walked up to the blackboard and pointed to the location of the wound drawn on it.
She said earnestly, "The bullet grazed the sciatic nerve. Although the shrapnel was removed during the surgery, the local blood circulation was definitely affected."
"Traditional Chinese medicine believes that pain arises from obstruction. When blood and qi are blocked in the joints and meridians, painkillers can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause. We need to address the problem by clearing the obstruction and restoring the flow of qi and blood to the meridians."
Several elderly traditional Chinese medicine doctors were sitting in the audience.
They looked at each other in astonishment, marveling at how such a young person could possess such remarkable observation and decision-making skills.
This is simply a gift from God! No, it's like God is chasing after someone to feed them!
Dean Wang's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "Xiao Ning, what do you think is the best treatment?"
Ning Tang pondered for a long time.
She slowly said, "I haven't seen the patient yet, so I can't be completely sure. I can only give a preliminary plan."
at the same time.
A woman in the corner raised her arm, indicating that she had something to say in response.
——
Everyone instinctively looked over.
The woman slowly rose from the crowd, and Ning Tang finally saw her face clearly.
It turned out to be the doctor Xu Qiaofeng had met when he was hospitalized in the mountain city last time—Pei Yanning.
Since the last time, Pei Yanning has become deeply interested in Xu Qiaofeng.
It doesn't matter if I know he has a wife, because you can get divorced even if you're married.
Therefore, Pei Yanning couldn't stand Ning Tang, Xu Qiaofeng's nominal wife. Now that she had finally met her again, she had to teach her a lesson.
"Dean Wang, I disagree with Dr. Ning Tang's opinion."
Pei Yanning stood there with her arms crossed, her eyes sweeping over Ning Tang's obviously pregnant belly with a hint of disdain and hostility.
“The patient’s postoperative examination showed no abnormalities, clearly indicating that the problem was caused by psychological factors. Although I am a Western doctor, I also know that traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation.”
"Dr. Ning has not even seen the patient, yet he has already diagnosed it as blood and qi stagnation. Isn't that a bit too confident and arbitrary?"
The meeting room fell silent immediately after he said that.
The veteran Chinese medicine doctors looked at each other and found that Pei Yanning was one of the more intelligent people among the younger generation.
They agreed with the question she raised.
Pei Yanning's words made sense; Ning Tang's judgment based solely on the report did indeed seem rash.
Zhou Hairong almost burst out laughing in the corner, suppressing his smugness.
Finally, someone can handle you. Just wait and see how you get out of this mess!
Faced with Pei Yanning's deliberate targeting, Ning Tang remained calm and looked over with a composed gaze: "So, what are your thoughts, doctor?"
"With reasonable discussion, I believe no one will be angry."
Pei Yanning was surprised that Ning Tang was so calm, and even asked her a question in return.
She paused for a few seconds, met the gazes of the big shots, straightened her back, and spoke with a hint of arrogance.
"Simply put, psychological stress has turned into physical pain. My suggestion is to use a lot of sedatives to relieve the emotions, which is much more reliable than blindly using traditional Chinese medicine."
That word "blind" made everyone instinctively frown.
Unlike Pei Yanning, almost half of the room was dedicated to the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
This statement sounds like a criticism of traditional Chinese medicine.
Zhou Hairong wasn't angry at all; instead, she was cheering Pei Yanning on from the corner. She was overjoyed to hear Pei Yanning tease Ning Tang.
To deal with a scheming woman like Ning Tang, you have to expose her false face in front of everyone.
Ning Tang simply nodded slightly after hearing this.
She looked away from Pei Yanning, somewhat disappointed.
I originally thought she had some real insights, but it turns out she was just spouting nonsense to embarrass me.
Ning Tang turned to Dean Gou and Dean Wang and said seriously, "I agree with the psychological factors the doctor mentioned, but perhaps we should ask her to reconsider the term 'blindly treating'."
"Ning Tang! What do you mean?"
"Are you targeting me?!" Pei Yanning slammed her hand on the table in anger, completely oblivious to the strange looks from those around her.
To others, this was their first meeting.
Pei Yanning lives in the neighboring mountain city, how could she know Ning Tang's name?
And if the two knew each other, why didn't Ning Tang call her by her name directly, but instead addressed her as "this doctor"?
Something's not right between these two! They seem to have a grudge against each other!
The doctors who were just feeling sleepy and bored in the meeting room immediately perked up, sat up straight, and their eyes darted back and forth between Pei Yanning and Ning Tang!
"Doctor, do I know you?" Ning Tang asked, feigning confusion.
"Stop pretending!"
Just seeing Ning Tang like this made Pei Yanning furious.
Last time, that bitch made me look bad in front of Xu Qiaofeng. She just admires her husband. Why should I treat her like a wolf?
Besides, a man's heart is his own to decide; only a woman who lacks ability would bare her teeth at others.
Seeing that the two were about to start arguing, someone quickly spoke up to interrupt them.
"Alright, alright, I know you young people have hot tempers, but now is the time to get down to business. You two can handle any problems privately."
Seeing someone trying to smooth things over, Dean Gou was unhappy. It wasn't Ning Tang's fault, so why should the two of them be on the same page?
He immediately stood up, protectively saying, "You should also keep quiet and stop being a troublemaker."
Then he turned to look at Ning Tang, his tone suddenly becoming much gentler.
Dean Gou said with a grin, "Dr. Ning, please continue. Let's see who dares to speak."
Dean Wang nodded in agreement: "Yes, please continue."
Ning Tang felt a warmth in her heart.
Continue writing and drawing on the blackboard.
A few minutes later, she looked through the pathology report, found the key point, and slowly opened her mouth: "I continued, I had seen similar cases in foreign medical records before."
“There is no traditional Chinese medicine abroad, so their solution at the time was to take sedatives for a long time. In the beginning, nothing happened, and the patient seemed to have recovered. But over time, the patient’s mental state became more and more precarious. In the end, the patient abroad could not bear the torment and chose to commit suicide by lying on the railway tracks.”
When the ending was mentioned, everyone present looked somber.
Only Pei Yanning was absolutely certain that Ning Tang was deliberately retaliating against her, making her lose face in front of all the important figures!
And to bring up foreign cases? Pei Yanning thinks that's just nonsense!
Ning Tang, who was standing in front, continued, "To give you an analogy, it's like a water pipe being blocked by a stone. The water can't flow and will accumulate in one place. Over time, people will feel heavy and in pain."
With her leading the way, the remaining veteran TCM doctors dared to speak up and expressed their opinions.
Later on, these people even started praising Ning Tang in public, as if they couldn't see the other people in the room.
Pei Yanning stood there, her face alternating between pale and flushed.
She wanted to argue but didn't dare to interrupt, so she could only glare at Ning Tang defiantly.
Zhou Hairong was also extremely upset. He had originally been hoping for Pei Yanning's help, but she also seemed too afraid to speak.
The two could only watch helplessly as the disliked Ning Tang was recognized by the traditional Chinese medicine doctors.
The meeting finally ended.
Under Dean Wang's arrangement, the staff from other hospitals prepared to return to the guesthouse to rest.
As luck would have it, Pei Yanning was assigned the same room as Ning Tang.
Wang Yingying and Zhou Hairong were assigned one.
Wang Yingying had just sensed that Pei Yanning's intentions were not good. She moved closer to Ning Tang and asked in a low voice, "How about I switch rooms with her?"
"This woman has been acting strangely since earlier. I feel there's something wrong with her, so it's better to be on guard."
As if she could read Wang Yingying's mind, Pei Yanning sneered and walked past them, sitting on the bed in the room right in front of the two of them.
She looked at Ning Tang defiantly: "Do you really think this guesthouse is yours to run? You can just change places whenever you want, how pretentious!"
