Chapter 151 This Apprentice Has Only Been Here for One Hour

In a large hospital like the Sixth Hospital, teachers often use three teaching modes. The first one is that the teacher teaches first, and the students observe and learn from the sidelines, and then they start to work. The second one is that the students start to work, and the teacher gives instructions and corrections later. The third one is that the teacher asks questions and assesses on the spot, and then the teacher gives comments and summaries...

Generally, for newcomers who have just entered the hospital, Director Xiao will naturally use the third method first. After a period of time, he will choose the first teaching mode to let the students get started.

But this time, the student that the Academic Affairs Department asked him to supervise was Su Tang, a junior doctor who had already achieved some clinical success.

Director Xiao naturally chose the second method and took the patient directly to the outpatient clinic. Su Tang first took the patient's pulse, made a diagnosis and wrote a prescription, and then he judged whether any errors occurred in the process.

Su Tang had no opinion on this. Instead, she followed Director Xiao, chatting and laughing, and soon arrived at the TCM clinic.

As the director of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of the Sixth Hospital, Director Xiao naturally enjoys the trust and love of a large number of patients.

The other party's office computer has just been turned on and logged in...

“Ding ding ding ding ding…”

The computer suddenly made a series of dinging sounds, which were fast and urgent, like a beast that was trapped in a cage and starved for alcohol, and they were trying to break free in an instant. As a result, the old computer on the treatment table even had a painful lag.

Su Tang's pupils widened: "…………"

But, how abominable! So, so jealous!!

Even though she has treated quite a few patients in the past few months, there has never been so many 'happy ding ding ding' sounds from the clinic computer!

She glanced at the data at the bottom of the outpatient clinic APP. The bright red number - 138 people - almost hurt Su Tang's eyes. She couldn't take her eyes off it for a long time.

Damn it! These are the number of patients she has seen in the past three days!

Su Tang was eager to dig out the doctor's patients, so she took a few deep breaths. Only then did she suppress the urge to dig all of Director Xiao's patients from the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine to the Department of General Internal Medicine...

"Doctor Xiao Su, what's wrong?" Director Xiao was confused and stuttered.

I always felt that the expression of the girl in front of me just now was slightly distorted for a moment, which was a bit scary.

Director Xiao thought about it, then followed Su Tang's gaze to look at the outpatient clinic APP and saw the densely packed patient information on the backend of the APP.

He blinked, then suddenly realized something. He stroked his chin and smiled, "Oh, don't worry, Dr. Su... You don't need to see all these patients. You only need to see seven or eight first, so that I can get a feel for your abilities... Then, if there are more typical patients, I will explain them to you in detail."

Young doctors usually do not see many patients when working in outpatient clinics, and the diagnosis speed of many diseases is relatively slow. It is normal for them to be a little scared when they suddenly see so many patients in the outpatient clinic at one time.

After all, apart from anything else, 5 minutes for each of the more than 130 patients would take 12 hours a day.

Not to mention that young doctors often cannot make a diagnosis for a patient within 5 minutes.

Usually, only those chief physicians and deputy chief physicians who are very familiar with various diseases and have rich experience can see so many patients at one time during the daytime outpatient clinic work.

Director Xiao touched his chin and laughed in his heart. Young people, young people, really have no self-control! He was so scared after seeing only 130 patients. He really lacked some experience. He had seen more than 200 patients in a day!

“…………”

Su Tang mumbled, feeling a little embarrassed. She wanted to speak, but when the words came to her lips, she couldn't say them.

In the end, she could only touch her nose, exhale a foul breath, and hesitantly said: "...Okay, okay, thank you Director Xiao, I will try my best..."

Su Tang sighed. She was afraid that if she continued talking, she would probably undermine the teacher.

Xiao Xu, a resident intern, sat in front of the computer, skillfully operated the computer and pressed the call button, and then the four people in the outpatient clinic were waiting for patients to come for treatment.

The patient holding number XSG01 walked in and saw Director Xiao, and he walked up to him happily.

"Look, Director Xiao is with three students today. The last time I came, he was only with two students." The patient was a middle-aged woman in her forties or fifties with a slightly plump figure. As soon as she entered the room, she walked straight to the table opposite Director Xiao and sat down. She looked very familiar and it was obvious that she was a frequent patient here.

The other party handed the medical record in his hand to Director Xiao and said with a smile: "The prescription you prescribed for me a few days ago is quite effective. I have only been drinking it for three days and I feel much better than before. I came here for a follow-up check today. By the way, please let me see if I need to drink it for another two days."

Director Xiao took the medical record and didn't read it. Instead, he smiled and said to the middle-aged woman, "I wrote that prescription, so it must be effective. I told you before that you don't have to be too nervous about your illness. It's nothing serious if you take medicine on time during this period of time... These three are indeed my students. Let my students take a look at you first today, and I'll check your pulse later. Is that okay with you?"

"Sure, what's wrong with that?"

The middle-aged woman glanced at Su Tang and the other two, raised her hand and placed her left arm on the pillow, and said with a smile: "Whatever you want, take a look... Director Xiao's medical skills are very good. You are lucky to be able to learn from Director Xiao."

Director Xiao raised his chin towards Su Tang, motioning for Su Tang to go forward and take the patient's pulse. However, he opened the medical record in his hand and did not let Su Tang see it. His purpose was to let Su Tang judge the patient's specific condition by looking at the patient's face and using the methods of observation, smelling, questioning and palpation.

Su Tang blinked, and without hesitation, she placed her hand on the middle-aged woman's wrist and carefully felt it. She then asked the woman to change her hand and carefully examined it for a while. Su Tang then smiled and said, "Ms. Wu, is this menopausal syndrome?"

The middle-aged woman was surprised, looked at Su Tang curiously, and subconsciously asked: "What do you mean?"

You know, Director Xiao never showed the medical record she had just handed over to the young doctor in front of him.

The middle-aged woman looked carefully at Su Tang's position. Since the Sixth Hospital's treatment table was rectangular and the table was so long, it was already difficult for three people to sit on the side where the computer was placed. Therefore, Su Tang's position happened to be parallel to the side of the computer desktop.

Unless the young doctor in front of you can turn her vision, the other party will absolutely not be able to see her previous treatment diagnosis through the outpatient APP.

Su Tang smiled, put down her left hand and explained: "Ms. Wu, your pulse is weak, deep and thin, which indicates that both Qi and blood are deficient, and all kinds of weakness and fatigue are depleted. It is a typical menopausal syndrome."

"And the temperature outside today is not low. When I took Ms. Wu's pulse just now, I clearly felt that her hands were cold. So the reason why Ms. Wu came to see the doctor three days ago should be that she had cold limbs, dizziness, tinnitus, irritability, insomnia, and sore waist and knees. Is that right?"

Su Tang blinked and gave the middle-aged woman a confident smile: "Before and after menopause, women often have deficiency of Qi and blood in their bodies. You have obvious symptoms of deficiency of Yang Qi. I guess Director Xiao prescribed Yougui Pills for warming the kidney and supporting Yang three days ago? Do you think I am right, Ms. Wu?"

Menopausal syndrome is often divided into three types in traditional Chinese medicine: Yin deficiency, Yang deficiency, and Yin and Yang deficiency.

Ms. Wu clearly had symptoms of yang deficiency, so Su Tang was able to determine her condition by just taking her pulse or even asking any further questions.

"Yes, yes, yes! Your pulse is so accurate!" The middle-aged woman slapped her thigh, grinned and gave Su Tang a thumbs up!

The middle-aged woman turned around and said to Director Xiao cheerfully, "Director Xiao, I am worthy of being your apprentice. I think her level is no worse than that of other attending physicians in your department!"

Director Xiao choked: "…"

I always feel that there seems to be something wrong with this statement. This apprentice is indeed his, but he has only been with him for less than an hour.

On the contrary, almost all the attending physicians in the department have learned from him.

Director Xiao said in a dry voice: "No, no, she has to work hard to make herself better."

Director Xiao cleared his throat, and in order to save face, he raised his chin and continued, "Since the disease has been diagnosed, then you can see how to deal with it next?"

"Since you have taken Yougui Pills for three days, and I think your pulse strength is pretty good. I suggest you take Yougui Pills for another two days, and then have acupuncture to promote blood circulation and regulate qi..." Su Tang touched his chin and briefly explained what acupuncture techniques to use and which acupoints to prick.

Director Xiao smacked his lips, then took the middle-aged woman's pulse himself. After thinking carefully for a moment and feeling that there seemed to be no better treatment method at the moment, he nodded and wrote down a new treatment plan according to Su Tang's words.

"Uh..." Director Xiao touched his chin and signaled with his eyes to the resident intern next to him to call the next patient in quickly.

He didn't expect that this Xiao Su was not only good at treating the sequelae of stroke, but also had some expertise in gynecological diseases. She could diagnose a patient with menopausal syndrome just by taking her pulse. This kind of ability was not something that ordinary people could easily possess.

Sometimes, one thing leads to another.

If the other party can easily identify menopausal syndrome, they can naturally also identify other gynecological diseases, such as dysmenorrhea, retrograde menstruation and other problems.

"Okay, Director... I'll call someone right away." The intern nodded and quickly pressed the call button.

So, that morning, the clinic was filled with the sound of Su Tang chattering and Director Xiao's endless questions, which he had to answer in a calm manner.

"The pulse is weak, floating and light. This is obviously a sign of pathogenic cold entering the body, causing qi stagnation and blood stasis. It is wind-cold fever."

"What should we do?"

"His cold is mild, so he doesn't need to take medicine. Just two injections will do. When he gets home, ask him to press these two acupuncture points on the back of his hand and drink more hot water."

"Uh... yeah."

"This patient's pulse is straight and long, which is a typical symptom of hypertension. He has had headaches and irritability these days. We should lower his blood pressure as soon as possible... Well, his blood pressure is 164/110, so he really needs to be treated quickly. I suggest that he take antihypertensive drugs first, and then use a combination of Chinese and Western medicine to relieve the patient's condition..."

"Uh... yeah."

Trainee: “…”

The intern looked at Su Tang and Director Xiao with a confused and embarrassed expression.

Why did he feel that Director Xiao would ask questions at the beginning, but as time went by, Director Xiao would just nod and say "yes"?

This...are all the candidates selected from the hospital to participate in the national competition so amazing?

You know, the one in front of you is just a junior resident...
