Minister Li randomly picked out a medical record and looked at the cover:
It says: Workshop 3 of Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, Yi Zhonghai.
Minister Li casually asked while looking through the medical records:
"Old Shen, please introduce this medical record."
Minister Li is also bad. She is not a medical professional and does not understand medicine in essence, so she cannot understand medical records or films.
But she asked anyway, and she picked some patients randomly, just to see if the Chinese medicine hospital had falsified the information. If they couldn't even report the medical records, then the patient was most likely fake.
Dean Shen had never been involved in this before, so how could he understand? So he quickly pushed Lin Sanqi out:
"Minister Li, Vice President Lin is the person in charge of this tuberculosis project and is also the director of our tuberculosis department. Let him introduce it."
Lin Sanqi thought to himself that although he was the leader of this project, he developed the medicine himself, wrote the diagnosis and treatment guidelines himself, and taught his students himself, he had not really treated many patients.
Especially this Yi Zhonghai, he was not a patient he had treated at all, and he had no impression of him at all, so how could he introduce him?
"Minister Li, um, um, how about I ask the attending doctor to come and report."
Minister Li raised his head and hummed, actually expressing his dissatisfaction.
Lin Sanqi also took the risk, thinking that he was not someone who wanted to flatter others to get promoted, so he was not afraid of whether you were a minister or not. He just said what he wanted to say:
"Minister Li, the truth is, these 5,000 patients are being treated by over 20 of our doctors. It's not certain which doctor will be assigned to each case. Our clinical practice states that the attending physician is responsible for reporting the patient's condition."
Dean Shen also quickly added:
"Minister Li, there are 5,000 medical records here. It's obviously impossible for Comrade Lin Sanqi to memorize all of them by himself."
Minister Li nodded and said, "That explanation makes sense. Then let the attending physician come over. Let me see. The doctor whose signature is on it is Zhang Shoujun."
Lin Sanqi shouted, "Doctor Zhang Shoujun, step out."
Zhang Shoujun originally came from the Digital Hospital and was very disciplined. He took two steps forward and gave a standard military salute:
"Hello, Chief. My name is Zhang Shoujun. I'm the attending physician in Ward 2 of the Tuberculosis Department at the Changping Branch of Capital Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Yi Zhonghai is my patient, and I can report on his condition."
When the leaders in the room saw Zhang Shoujun's serious expression, they all nodded repeatedly.
Minister Li asked, "From the military? Fine, fine, our soldiers are the most reliable. But why did you end up at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital?"
Dean Shen explained again:
"Last year, our health system was going to lay off some employees and send them back to their hometowns. At that time, we retained 50 medical staff from the layoff lists of Union Hospital and Digital Hospital to work at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital.
But please rest assured, leaders, the salaries and food for these 50 medical staff were all provided for by our Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital itself, and we have not caused any trouble to the state. We reported this matter to the Ministry's Personnel Department."
Minister Li sighed after hearing this:
"Alas, it's hard for you, but there's nothing we can do. The country wants to reduce the urban population by half, and it's difficult for everyone. Okay, Comrade Zhang Shoujun, then please introduce this medical record."
"Yes, Yi Zhonghai, an eighth-level fitter at the Dongzhimenwai Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, came to our Changping branch hospital a year ago because of a cough and low-grade fever. At that time, the patient was diagnosed with tuberculosis at the Chinese Medicine Hospital. He had been receiving conservative treatment with Chinese medicine, but his condition was not under control.
After coming to our outpatient clinic for treatment, I took the first X-ray and did a sputum culture test. Finally, it was confirmed that it was pulmonary tuberculosis. I gave him ethamidine pyrazine and rifampicin tablets, oh, that is, the oral anti-tuberculosis pills.
Four months later, the patient's X-rays showed no pulmonary tuberculosis lesions, and sputum culture showed no Mycobacterium tuberculosis. We have determined that the patient has recovered. "Please review all X-rays and laboratory results."
After Minister Li read the medical records, he passed them to other department leaders for review.
"Doctor Zhang, you're from the military, so you have to be responsible for every word you say. Do you understand?"
Zhang Shoujun's face flushed, and his chest straightened even more:
"Commander, I've treated a total of 210 patients, and cured 202 of them. I can guarantee that none of these cases were fabricated, and I'm willing to accept any investigation from the leadership. If anyone has fabricated anything, I'm willing to face military court."
Lin Sanqi secretly gave Zhang Shoujun a thumbs up. This soldier was really tough. Although he was a former soldier, he was still so straight-forward and didn't give the old lady any face at all.
Minister Li was also a ruthless character. He said to Lin Sanqi on the spot:
"Vice President Lin, please pull a phone line over here immediately so we can call and verify on the spot."
"yes!"
The office was right next door, and the telephone line was quickly pulled over. Minister Li signaled his secretary Xiaofang to make the call herself to verify.
The telephones in those days were all hand-cranked. They first connected to Changping and then to the inner city. The area outside Dongzhimen belonged to Chaoyang District, so the call had to be transferred to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill from Chaoyang.
After one round, I'm exhausted.
Fortunately, the Hongxing Rail Steel Plant is a large factory and it receives a lot of calls. After receiving the call, Yi Zhonghai quickly rushed from the workshop to the office, still panting.
"Hello, I'm Yi Zhonghai. Who's looking for me?"
Secretary Xiaofang asked, "Hello, Comrade Yi. I'm from the Ministry of Health. We have something we'd like to confirm with you. Please excuse me for taking up some of your time."
Yi Zhonghai was the eldest uncle of the Siheyuan, and he was very sensitive to his superiors, so he nodded and bowed quickly:
"So you're my boss. No problem. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I'll be happy to answer them."
There was no telecommunications fraud in those days, and there were not even many telephones. If someone said they were from a certain unit, that was definitely the unit. There was no such thing as cheating. What a pure 1960s it was.
"Okay, Comrade Yi, did you visit the tuberculosis department of the Changping branch of the Capital Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine in July 1960?"
"Yes, yes, that's true. Changping is far away. I took the bus and walked for half a day to get to Changping. But the doctors there are very kind and their level of expertise is really high."
"Comrade Yi, before you went to the Changping branch, were you sure you had tuberculosis and not some other lung disease?"
"Sure, sure. I've been coughing non-stop and have a constant fever. I don't have the energy to work. I'm a fitter, and I have to move such thick steel up and down, and operate machine tools. I can't do without strength.
So I went to a traditional Chinese medicine hospital and was diagnosed with tuberculosis. I didn't give up, so I went to Union Hospital and had a doctor take an X-ray, which confirmed it was tuberculosis. I still have the original medical records and X-rays."
Yi Zhonghai is an eighth-level fitter, claiming to be a ninth-level fitter. He earns 99 yuan a month and has no children, so he is really not short of money.
So I can totally afford the medical expenses, not to mention that my employer reimburses them. (This is the advantage of a big socialist family.)
The room was silent. Although telephones at that time did not have a speakerphone function, the receiver was loud enough for everyone to hear clearly. Moreover, Secretary Xiaofang was taking notes on the conversation, which was also a basic skill for a secretary.
"So, Comrade Yi, of course, what medicine did the Changping branch give you? How effective is it?"
"I remember, I said I wanted to be hospitalized, and Dr. Zhang said my condition wasn't serious and didn't require hospitalization. He told me to take one tuberculosis pill every day. But he only gave me a month's supply each time and told me to go to the Chinese medicine hospital for a follow-up consultation every month.
Guess what? After a month of taking the medicine, my cough and fever disappeared. It was amazing! By the fourth month, Dr. Zhang took another X-ray and did some sputum tests, and he said I was cured and didn't need to take any more medicine.
Zhang Shoujun quickly took out the fourth month's X-ray and showed it to everyone.
Secretary Xiaofang asked again:
"Are you feeling any discomfort right now?"
Yi Zhonghai's laughter came out immediately:
"Haha, I'm fine now. I'm all better now. Doctor Zhang is truly a miracle doctor. He can even cure tuberculosis. I don't think there's another hospital like him in China. Later, I introduced many co-workers with tuberculosis to Changping for treatment, and they all recovered."
Secretary Xiaofang was also smart and asked:
"Colleague Yi, how many workers from your Red Star Rail Steel Plant have come to the Changping branch for treatment?"
"Oh, there are over ten thousand people in our factory. I can't tell you exactly how many workers have been to the Changping branch, but I know there are at least 20 people. I estimate that there are more than 50 or 60 people in our factory combined."
The Hongxing Rail Steel Plant is not short of money. It reimburses employees' medical expenses promptly and even provides sick leave. Only a fool would not go to the hospital for treatment.
"Okay, I understand the situation. Thank you, Comrade Yi."
"No thanks, no thanks."
Yi Zhonghai put down the phone, feeling very happy. He thought to himself, how arrogant he was? Even the Ministry of Health called him directly. It seemed that his position of power was not in vain.
I'm in a good mood. I have to have some fun with Qin Huairu tonight. At most, I can give her some more cornmeal... (End of this chapter)
