Chapter 154

"Today in the ICU, after listening to the consultations of other experts, how do you feel you have gained?"

Chief Doctor Ma is a middle-aged man in his 50s. Although his smile is bright and handsome, his bald forehead cannot hide his bald forehead. He touched his slightly bald forehead and said with a smile to the two students beside him.

"Especially Xiao Zhang, you are one of the candidates selected by our hospital to represent the Sixth Hospital in the national competition..."

"You are a young and promising person with some skills. Why don't you tell me what you have gained in the ICU today?"

Director Ma smiled at Zhang Chengzhou and said jokingly, "If you don't gain anything from listening to so many expert consultations today... then I will have to suggest to the Academic Affairs Department to postpone your studies..."

"Ahem, Director, your requirements are too high... Didn't I just start learning from you today?" Zhang Chengzhou coughed twice awkwardly, touched his nose subconsciously and said, "Even if I don't gain much from the consultation today, I will definitely be much stronger after learning from you for half a month."

This time, the candidates for all clinical specialties in the Sixth Hospital were basically arranged by the Academic Affairs Department at a rate of rotating departments every half a month, and Zhang Chengzhou was no exception.

"Tsk, it's no use trying to suck up to me."

Director Ma smiled and shook his head, saying, "You should tell us what you have gained in the ICU today. What do you think about the patient's condition this time? You didn't dare to speak in front of so many experts in the ICU just now, but now you two should tell us quickly..."

"The patient is a 78-year-old male with chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, and arthritis, among which Alzheimer's disease is more serious. This time, he ran away from home and went to the park due to Alzheimer's disease. Because the park was holding a flower exhibition at the time, the pollen stimulation caused him to suffer a severe asthma attack and he was admitted to the hospital... So it stands to reason that we should first help the patient get rid of allergens..." Since he was going to learn from Director Ma, Zhang Chengzhou only said a few polite words and then earnestly explained his treatment ideas from beginning to end.

"At the time, a passerby in the park called 120 for emergency help. After the ambulance arrived, it sent the patient to the Sixth Hospital. The most important first step had been completed... Then they gave him glucocorticoids, such as budesonide..."

When doctors treat patients, they should adhere to the principle of treating the urgent first and the less urgent later, and the serious first and the less serious later.

Therefore, for this elderly person who is admitted to the ICU for treatment, he should first be removed from the irritating environment, use asthma treatment drugs, and after the asthma attack is resolved, he can then treat chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes.

This is also something every doctor should know from the first day they enter the hospital!

"Well, go on..."

Director Ma nodded seriously, indicating that he fully agreed with Zhang Chengzhou's current treatment plan.

After Zhang Chengzhou continued to talk about how to treat asthma, what drugs should be used to control diabetes and high blood pressure, etc., Director Ma started to ask about relevant knowledge and correct Zhang Chengzhou's treatment ideas and plans.

then.

The two were walking on the way back to the neurology department from the ICU.

One spoke seriously and the other listened attentively, and they spent a lot of time together happily.

However, it was this kind of pleasure that made Zhang Chengzhou subconsciously think of it as he spoke.

During the typhoon, the magical acupuncture at table 13 next door...

I thought of the stormy night when the female doctor in a white coat was sitting at the No. 13 clinic table and giving an injection to an Alzheimer's patient...

Zhang Chengzhou was so excited that his cheeks flushed, as if a warm current was rushing through every nerve in his body: "So I think that for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, acupuncture should be used first to stimulate the acupoints, so that the patient can temporarily regain consciousness and communicate with his family... This can not only make the patient feel good, but also increase the confidence of the patient's family in the treatment of the disease!"

"Then we let the patients take decoctions to consolidate the treatment effect, and finally achieve the result of treating Alzheimer's patients!"

"In this way, patients can communicate with their family members again and will not get lost again!"

Director Ma: “……?”

Another trainee: “……???”

The two of them looked at each other subconsciously, and they both saw the word "confused" in each other's eyes. They felt that the candidate who could explain the diagnosis and treatment of the patient's condition clearly just now suddenly became weird.

What nonsense is this person talking about? Chinese medicine and acupuncture to treat Alzheimer's disease? You must be kidding!

“Ahem…”

Director Ma coughed twice, trying to draw the other party's attention back: "Xiao Zhang, you mentioned acupuncture point stimulation therapy. Many doctors do have suggestions in this regard, but this treatment method cannot be used as the main treatment method. It can only be used to slowly improve..."

Even now, many doctors still believe that this kind of acupuncture point stimulation is useless and can neither relieve nor cure. It is more of a psychological comfort for patients and their families...

"The patient in the ICU just now has already developed primitive memory impairment and even some behavioral cognitive impairment. His condition is already quite serious... I want to use acupuncture point stimulation to restore the patient's consciousness, but this may be a bit difficult..." Director Ma looked at Zhang Chengzhou for a moment, and finally sighed helplessly in his heart, but he was also a little confused...

In theory, Alzheimer's disease is a more common and serious disease.

Ordinary clinicians will have a basic understanding of these conditions.

Candidates who are capable of participating in the national competition should be well aware of this, so how could they make such a low-level mistake?

“No, that’s not it…” Zhang Chengzhou shook his head quickly when he realized that he had forgotten to explain the miraculous acupuncture performed by Dr. Su whom he met in the emergency department during the typhoon, and prepared to explain it in earnest.

From the time the typhoon broke out to now, it has been about a month.

However, it was precisely because of that storm that he realized that acupuncture could actually do such unscientific things!

Zhang Chengzhou scratched his head. These days, he and his friends have been paying attention to the progress of the Alzheimer's patient in the general internal medicine department. It is said that the patient no longer needs acupuncture stimulation and can barely recognize some of his former acquaintances...

However, just as Zhang Chengzhou was about to open his mouth to speak, he suddenly heard a series of light footsteps behind him, accompanied by the cheerful voice of Director Wang.

"Hey, Director Ma, you haven't gone home yet... I thought you guys had already returned to the department!"

Director Wang caught up with Director Ma and the other two with a smile on his face, patted Director Ma on the shoulder and said, "Director Ma, I want to tell you something. You must not be too shocked..."

"Uh...what's the matter?" Director Ma looked up in confusion and looked at Director Wang subconsciously.

He is already in his fifties, what else is there to be shocked about?

Did Director Wang underestimate him?

Director Wang smiled and said, "I told you that some time ago, when I was chatting with Director Xue from the emergency department and the dean, I learned that our hospital actually has a doctor who is capable of treating Alzheimer's patients!"

Director Wang: "Hey, it's the doctor Su from the general internal medicine department who took Mr. Xie away some time ago..."

"If the dean hadn't mentioned it to me this time, by the time I knew about it, the other party might have already written a paper and published it in a medical journal..."

Director Wang touched his chin and said with a sigh: "Why didn't I know that Chinese medicine and acupuncture could be so powerful before? What do you think, should we go to the library after get off work today and buy some Chinese medicine books to read? I think those Chinese medicine books in my study may still be too superficial..."

Director Wang's face was full of sighs. Although he is the director of the Neurology Department, he is also a well-known neurology expert in Shenzhen Stock Exchange.

But to be honest...he didn't even dare to think about the global problem of treating Alzheimer's disease.

If the Dean and Director Xue had not vowed during dinner with him a few days ago that they had seen with their own eyes that acupuncture was indeed extremely useful for patients with Alzheimer's disease, and that Dr. Su had filmed the treatment video of the patient during his treatment here, and that he would be able to show it to others after the other party's paper was published...

He would never believe that someone could really cure Alzheimer's disease...

Director Wang had a tangled expression, but his tone was remarkably firm as he said, "I feel that things may change for the better in our neurology department from now on..."

No wonder the board of directors of Huaning Entertainment chose to let the other party treat their former chairman. It turned out that this group of people had foresight.

"How about you go to the general internal medicine clinic with me after get off work today?"

"I heard from the dean that Dr. Su filmed a video during the treatment. I want to borrow it and watch it, so I can observe and learn from it..." Director Wang looked at Director Ma seriously.

Director Ma: “????”

Director Ma looked at Director Wang suspiciously and asked, "Is it really as magical as you say?"

Just now, Zhang Chengzhou next to me said that someone can treat Alzheimer's disease with acupuncture, and then I turned around and met Director Wang who actually said that someone in their hospital can treat this disease...

Director Ma's face was full of confusion. If the person in front of him was not the director of their neurology department, and the other one was his student.

He almost suspected that these two people had colluded with each other and deliberately said nonsense in front of him.

However, Director Ma thought about it and couldn't figure out why Director Wang and Zhang Chengzhou had to deceive him...

So, Director Ma frowned and stepped forward cautiously.

His face was full of confusion, but he also had a little expectation when he asked, "Director Wang, are you really that amazing? Then when you go there next time, call me..."

If Chinese medicine were really that powerful, it could even solve international problems.

Director Ma frowned and pursed his lips. He felt that although he was already old, it was not impossible for him to study hard.

"Teacher Ma, Teacher Wang, Doctor Su is really that amazing. I was there that day..." Zhang Chengzhou couldn't hold back any longer this time. His face flushed with excitement, and he once again talked about the "glorious" scene when Su Tang was treated in the emergency department.

This time.

Director Ma, Director Wang, and the trainee all fixed their eyes on Zhang Chengzhou, waiting for him to continue speaking!

Unfortunately, the journey from the ICU to the Department of Neurology is so long. Zhang Chengzhou was only halfway through his speech when the four of them returned to the department. Director Ma and Director Wang were a little reluctant to talk, so they planned to ask Zhang Chengzhou to tell them about the patient's specific condition after acupuncture when they returned to the office...

Suddenly, Zhang Chengzhou's surprised voice rang in my ears: "Eh?! Doctor Su?! Why are you here?"

Director Ma and the other person looked up and walked forward subconsciously. They saw a petite girl in a white coat with a work badge on her chest standing not far from the nurses' station. Standing next to her was Zhou Tao, the chief resident of their department.

Director Ma: “……?”

Director Ma glanced at Zhang Chengzhou who came forward excitedly, and felt that this Doctor Su seemed to be the 'Doctor Su' they had talked about before...

Sure enough, before Director Ma could think too much.

Director Wang beside him had already walked forward happily, his eyes looking as happy as if he had seen the wolf grandmother in Little Red Riding Hood. He said in a hypocritical and expectant tone, "Hey, Doctor Xiao Su, you are here! I was just about to go to the general internal medicine department to find you. I heard that your department admitted a patient with Alzheimer's disease some time ago. How is the current situation? Can you show me the video?"
