Chapter 129 This sour lemon is bitter and astringent

"It seems that the effect of this deep acupoint stimulation is quite good." Su Tang saw that Mrs. Sun had an immediate response after the acupuncture. He looked at the old lady's condition carefully and nodded with a smile.

This was pretty much what she had imagined.

Acupuncture treatment for Alzheimer's disease first requires deep stimulation of the patient's brain area, especially the hippocampus area of ​​the head, which is the medial part of the temporal lobe of the brain. This is an important memory storage area of ​​the human body.

Patients with Alzheimer's disease usually suffer from varying degrees of atrophy of the hippocampus.

This time, Su Tang's acupoint stimulation is not only aimed at replenishing qi and removing blood stasis, but also uses acupoints to stimulate the hippocampus in a targeted manner.

In the past, electroacupuncture and music-based therapies commonly used in geriatrics and traditional Chinese medicine also had similar effects.

"It's more than good! The effect is simply great." Old Mrs. Zhou came forward excitedly and wanted to hold Su Tang's hands to thank her. Unfortunately, Su Tang still had a silver needle in her hand. In desperation, Old Mrs. Zhou could only take it back. Actions take a back seat to words of gratitude, but excited voices But it burst out from every word she spoke, "Dr. Su, your medical skills are really amazing. I'm afraid it's even better than your grandfather's back then! If you had known, the treatment effect of Alzheimer's disease could be so good." , I have to bring my sister to the hospital as soon as possible!"

Mr. Zhou obviously also thought this scene was very magical. He nodded in shock and said, "You are right. My aunt has been suffering from Alzheimer's disease for five or six years. Two years ago, she basically didn't recognize people... I didn't expect that after just a few injections, she could actually recognize my aunt's husband! If she had come to the Sixth Hospital earlier, maybe my aunt's disease would have been cured and she could communicate with us normally."

Mr. Zhou touched his beard and felt that his guess was very reliable.

In fact, in addition to being shocked, the awe in the hearts of Mr. and Mrs. Zhou was almost solidified. Ten minutes ago, they didn't even dare to have such a good dream in their daydreams!

"Uh..." Su Tang looked at Grandpa Sun holding Grandma Sun's hand tightly and talking to the old lady in a low voice. After thinking for a while, she shook her head and said, "The treatment of Alzheimer's disease is not that simple... I am now using acupuncture to stimulate the acupoints to achieve this effect. Once the silver needles are pulled out, Grandma Sun will immediately return to her original state."

Su Tang thought for a moment, frowned and explained: "This situation is actually more like the instinctive contraction of muscles after the human body is burned or electrocuted... Although the brain is much more complex than muscles, the old lady's current behavior can only be regarded as an instinctive reflex of the body... However, after long-term treatment, Grandma Sun will be able to recover slowly."

Seeing that Mr. Zhou and the others were full of optimism and joy, Su Tang couldn't help but pour cold water on them.

It's not that Su Tang did it on purpose, but if the disease is not cured, it is not cured. If unnecessary misunderstandings and conflicts arise in the process, it will be difficult to deal with.

"So you haven't fully recovered yet?" Mrs. Zhou and her husband felt a little disappointed. The people around them who were surprised and murmuring also looked at Su Tang subconsciously. Only Grandpa Sun was too happy. He held Mrs. Sun's hand and didn't hear what Su Tang said at all.

"But even if you can't cure it... it's still amazing." Zhou's grandson looked two years older than Su Tang. He looked at Su Tang carefully for a moment, as if he was getting to know this old neighbor all over again today. He remembered that when the five of them first came to the hospital, the old lady didn't recognize anyone.

Only the two attending doctors sitting at treatment table No. 12 breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, fortunately, Alzheimer's disease was not cured by a few needles, otherwise they would really have doubted their lives...? !

Ah! Pah! They are doubting life now, okay?! Even if it is just a memory reflex deep in the brain, it doesn't make sense!

"Since my treatment plan seems to be quite effective for Grandma Sun, I will prescribe a half-month hospital stay for you..." The acupuncture needles have to be left in for a while before they can be removed, Su Tang and Old Lady Zhou discussed with others.

"Okay, okay. Thank you for your help..." At this moment, the two grandchildren of the Zhou family used respectful titles when speaking to Su Tang.

However, Su Tang and the Zhou family did not realize that Director Xue and the dean were standing on the second floor and saw Su Tang giving acupuncture to the Alzheimer's patient. After the acupuncture, the patient actually recognized his relatives immediately! If they had not seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed it!

"This Doctor Su seems to be quite skilled..." The dean raised his eyebrows, and a friendly smile appeared on his chubby face. "No wonder so many people came to our hospital to seek treatment from Doctor Su before... With such an effective method, it would be unfair to this acupuncture if I didn't give him the title of expert."

Director Xue was very happy. He picked up the pen and added 3 points behind Su Tang's name in the record book. "Dean, even if you want to give him the title of expert... you should at least wait for him to pass the examination to become a deputy chief physician, right? Otherwise, even if the people in our hospital have no objection, it will be bad if Dr. Su is criticized by others and his reputation is ruined..."

In hospitals, doctors are divided into two types: the theoretical type and the practical type. The former are more likely to be promoted, while the latter are more popular with patients. In Director Xue's opinion, Su Tang is obviously a practical doctor. To become an expert in a large tertiary hospital like the Sixth Hospital, both theory and practice are indispensable. Otherwise, if you give someone an expert number in the outpatient clinic, isn't this a clear opportunity to cause trouble?

"Hey! Why are you so serious? I can only talk now, but things will be different when Dr. Xiao Su passes the exam to become deputy chief physician..." The dean laughed twice: "The Health Bureau has several promotion quotas for special talents every year. When Xiao Su finishes his thesis, we can try to apply for help in registration in our hospital. When he passes, we will make an appointment with an expert..." Perfect!

Shenzhen is such a big city, and the Hospital Health Bureau has two or three special talent promotion quotas every year. It’s just that these quotas are not available every year - they will be issued and used!

Instead, it requires that the medical personnel themselves have high qualities, and both their papers and skills meet the standards, or even far exceed the ordinary level, and they can only get it after passing the assessment.

After all, to have this kind of special talent quota and to take the exam, one needs more than 10 chief physicians from major hospitals to jointly recommend one before one has a chance to register.

If this wasn't really possible, and the chances were not particularly high, how could so many chief physicians recommend it? Wouldn't it be embarrassing to tell others about it?

Therefore, over the past 20 to 30 years in the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, the number of people who have actually been able to obtain special talent promotion quotas can be counted on one’s five fingers!

"Alright! Old Xue, now is not the time for us to think about this... According to the weather forecast, this typhoon is expected to leave during the day, and there will definitely be a busy period then. You have to organize the personnel replacement and on-site work..." The dean withdrew his gaze from Su Tang and others, and fixed his serious eyes on Director Xue.

Director Xue nodded solemnly, "Director, don't worry... Although this year's 'Bajiao' is much stronger than the typhoons of previous years, and the number of injured people sent here is also more than in previous years, but with the help of doctors from other departments, there will be no problem in the emergency department!"

………………

So, that night, apart from some complications during the treatment of Grandma Sun, a little more effort was spent.

The treatment of other patients is relatively simple...

Whenever we encounter a patient with serious injuries, the emergency department will send the patient to the operating room immediately.

When the number of patients in the emergency department decreased in the second half of the night, Su Tang and others took the time to take a nap. When it was dawn and the storm outside was still going on, the hospital sent out substitute doctors to replace those who were about to collapse.

There is no way...

The impact of this typhoon was very serious, and the number of injured patients was particularly large.

Su Tang casually glanced at the emergency department lobby and could see hundreds of patients sitting, standing or lying down. When these patients were admitted to the hospital, they not only needed doctors to examine and treat them, but also needed nurses to assist in observation, and personnel from the laboratory department to assist. In addition, the inpatient department also needed medical staff to watch over them at all times.

Of course, there are not so many replacement doctors in the emergency department who can replace all the doctors who have been working from yesterday to this morning.

Some logistics staff brought breakfast to Su Tang and others just after dawn when there were no patients around.

A large group of people in the clinic were hungry for most of the night and didn't care much. They quickly ate the buns brought by the logistics staff. Su Tang even stood up and walked outside when she saw that no one wanted to see her, wanting to take a look at the typhoon outside the hospital through the glass.

You have to know that the door of the emergency department lobby faces the city street, not the inside of the hospital.

Su Tang was a little curious about this. She had never encountered such a situation where people could face the streets directly during a typhoon.

In the past, whenever there was a typhoon, the family would stay at home or take the opportunity to clean the clinic downstairs.

Unlike tertiary hospitals, small clinics like theirs dare not open on typhoon days like this.

As soon as the roller shutter of the small clinic was pulled, the inside of the clinic would be flooded with heavy rain, which could even blow away various items near the doors and windows.

Su Tang was chewing a bun while looking out the glass window of the clinic at the heavy rain that was almost blocking everyone's view. The gray sky seemed to be the color of everyone's mood brought by the typhoon.

After silently finishing the last bite, Su Tang moved her slightly stiff neck and was about to return to treatment table No. 13.

A tall but slightly thin figure walked straight towards Su Tang.

Wu Man's face looked a little pale and haggard, but her eyes, which were clearly black and white, were exceptionally bright. She looked at Su Tang and said solemnly, "Doctor Su, my husband was in a car accident four years ago and has become a vegetable... I would like to ask you to take some time to go for a flight to the hospital. Is that okay? As long as you can wake my husband up, I am willing to pay 5 million for the flight!"

"Cough cough cough...!" Pan Yuhao, who had just picked up a bun and hadn't finished eating yet and wanted to walk around, was almost choked to death by the two words "5 million for an emergency medical consultation"!

Damn! It’s really frustrating to compare yourself with others!

He just lost a car worth NT$500,000 yesterday and was so heartbroken that he could hardly breathe. Even if the insurance company paid more than 90%, he would still have to pay several months' salary.

My colleague Su Tang, who works in the emergency department outpatient clinic, unexpectedly has a "second spring"? ? ? !

Thinking of the big client Wei Tuhao who was still in the inpatient department...

Pan Yuhao pinched the bun in grievance and hugged his strong self. He had it so hard. Why did so many lemon trees have to be planted around him?

The sour lemons were astringent and bitter, and none of them were the fruit he wanted.

Pan Yuhao: QAQ!
