In the ophthalmology department, Luo Jinxiang was accompanying Kou Zhengfan in a special care ward.
Kou Zhengfan arrived almost as soon as Yun Heng, Zhu Senqiang and others left and before Luo Jinxiang had time to return to the office.
Luo Jinxiang hurriedly greeted Kou Zhengfan and accompanied him to the ward. Inside the ward, the director of ophthalmology, Sun Shengtao, was already there.
In addition to Sun Shengtao, there were several doctors from the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, as well as patients and their families in the ward.
The patient was an elderly man in his eighties, about the same age as Kou Zhengfan.
At this moment, the old man was lying on the hospital bed, and Sun Shengtao was leading people to examine the old man, take his temperature, and measure his blood pressure. He was very busy.
"I just have an eye problem. There's no need to make such a fuss, right?"
The old man was a little impatient: "Isn't this an ophthalmology department?"
"Mr. Zuo, there are many factors that can cause eye problems, such as high blood pressure and high blood lipids."
Sun Shengtao explained on the side: "The more detailed the examination, the easier it will be to treat."
"I didn't count on you."
The old man retorted bluntly.
Sun Shengtao suddenly stopped talking.
"Dad, Director Sun has good intentions."
A middle-aged man in his fifties nearby began to advise.
"I know they mean well."
Zuo Laodao said, "Tell me, I'm just an old man, but every time I come here, there's a whole group of people following me. Is it the same for other patients?"
Sun Shengtao smiled awkwardly and thought to himself, we don’t want to, but how dare we?
Sometimes some things really are beyond your own control.
The coming of an old cadre like Mr. Zuo doesn't show enough respect. Does that mean he thinks he is not dying fast enough?
Some people think that having too many people is not good, but some people think that if there are too few people, you don’t pay enough attention to them.
Compared to being scolded by someone like Mr. Zuo, it won't make anyone feel that you are not valued. Scolding is at most a few curses, and not taking it seriously... you might have to move away.
The experts in Kyoto Hospital are indeed superior, and you don’t have to care about them normally. Leaders from other places have to behave themselves in Kyoto Hospital, but you cannot ignore old cadres like Mr. Zuo. One of the important functions of Kyoto Hospital is the recuperation and health care of old cadres. If you can’t even take good care of the old cadres, what else do you want to do?
Moreover, Mr. Zuo is not an ordinary veteran cadre. He held a very high position when he retired, and his son also holds real power now.
While we were checking here, Luo Jinxiang arrived with Kou Zhengfan.
Luo Jinxiang was with Yun Heng, Zhu Senqiang and others just now, so he didn't know that Zuo Lao had come. The special care ward and the general ward were not in the same place.
Only after entering the ward did Luo Jinxiang recognize who the patient was.
No wonder Mr. Kou came first, it turned out that it was Mr. Zuo who was in the hospital.
Mr. Zuo is a legendary figure and a typical example of someone who gave up medicine to go into politics.
When he was young, Mr. Zuo was also a Chinese medicine practitioner. He studied under Zhang Tonglin, a famous doctor in the medical field at that time. Zhang Tonglin was a master of the medical field during the Republic of China period and the leading master of the classical prescription school at that time.
There are many schools of Chinese medicine, and the Shanghan School and the Jingfang School have always regarded themselves as authentic. At that time, Mr. Zhang Tonglin had a very high status in the medical world. Mr. Zuo was a student of Mr. Zhang Tonglin. Having such a teacher gave him a great innate advantage.
In terms of seniority, even Xie Yunzhang, Kou Zhengfan and others are one generation younger than Mr. Zuo.
Zhang Tonglin is older than He Jianyun, and Mr. Zuo is of the same generation as Mr. He.
It’s just that Xie Yunzhang and others don’t have a clear master-disciple relationship with Zhang Tonglin, so they don’t care about this when they deal with each other in daily life.
In his early years, Mr. Zuo practiced medicine in various places. Later, he gave up medicine and went into politics. He started as a county-level cadre and worked his way up to the central government step by step.
This old man not only holds a high position, but also has excellent medical skills.
There was a reason why Mr. Zuo just said that his illness did not require treatment from Sun Shengtao and others.
When Zuo Lao was practicing medicine in the early years, modern medicine was not yet developed. When someone questioned Chinese medicine, Zuo Lao argued with them, and the other person said, "Since you believe in Chinese medicine so much, don't go to Western medicine for treatment in the future."
Of course, Mr. Zuo also said: "If you look down on Chinese medicine so much, don't go to see a Chinese medicine doctor in the future."
At that time, Mr. Zuo was only in his thirties, still young. Although it was a dispute of personal feelings, Mr. Zuo kept his word afterwards and would never see a Western doctor. No matter what the illness was, he would always see a Chinese doctor.
Not only is his own level of skill quite high, he also knows many famous Chinese medicine experts, and he has indeed not seen a Western doctor in recent years.
However, the person who had a quarrel with Zuo Lao later suffered from ascites and was saved by Xie Yunzhang, whom Zuo Lao helped to find.
This was not the first time that Mr. Zuo had come to the eye doctor for an eye examination. Luo Jinxiang also knew the old man's condition. His cataracts were getting worse and worse. The previous two times he came, he was brought in by his family for examinations. The treatment had always been traditional Chinese medicine, but it was just regular checkups.
But the last time he came, Luo Jinxiang looked at the test results and found that his condition was getting worse and worse. He might not be able to see things clearly now.
"Mr. Zuo!"
Kou Zhengfan walked in and shouted.
"Just by listening to the voice, I know it's Kou Huoyao."
Zuo Lao chuckled.
He really couldn't see clearly now. He was lying on the hospital bed, and Kou Zhengfan was at the door of the bed. He couldn't see who it was. He only knew it was Kou Zhengfan by the voice.
"Ha ha."
Kou Zhengfan laughed and walked to the bedside.
"Mr. Kou!"
Sun Shengtao and Zuo Lao's son and family members also hurried to greet them.
"Has the situation worsened again?"
Kou Zhengfan asked as he sat beside the bed.
"It's okay, I think it's okay."
Zuo Lao said stubbornly.
“I can’t even see my chopsticks when I’m eating, and…”
Zuo Mingjun, the son of Zuo Lao, said from the side: "Mr. Kou, I still need you to persuade the old man."
In Mr. Zuo's case, Kyoto Hospital has proposed surgery many times. Cataract surgery is now quite mature. Sun Shengtao and Luo Jinxiang have told Mr. Zuo's son more than once that if surgery is performed, Mr. Zuo's condition will recover quickly. The current phacoemulsification and extracapsular cataract extraction have small incisions, low risks, and fast postoperative recovery.
Moreover, the level and technology of Kyoto Hospital are impeccable, and the patient is someone like Mr. Zuo. How could the doctors not be dedicated?
But Mr. Zuo just didn't agree. He had insisted on it for his whole life. Now that he was old, would he be laughed at?
"What are you trying to persuade?"
Kou Zhengfan said directly: "Once you say something, it's as good as a stick. How can you take it back? I agree with Mr. Zuo."
Zuo Mingjun: “…”
I should have known not to ask Mr. Kou to come, but to ask Mr. Xie instead. Mr. Xie is relatively easy to talk to. Mr. Kou is simply adding fuel to the fire.
"Kou Huoyao is still more to my liking."
Zuo Lao laughed and said, "At this age, if you can't see clearly, then so be it. People fight for their breath, and Buddha accepts a stick of incense. Now people named Pi are too embarrassed to come to my door. I'm going to have surgery now. Do you believe it?"
Zuo Mingjun: “…”
Is it that so?
Is it that so?
