Chapter 167 I won’t sleep until the moon falls asleep
Department of General Internal Medicine, Sixth Hospital.
In the quiet department, many medical staff were walking back and forth. Some followed Su Tang into the ward to learn, while others sat in the office carefully organizing various patient data and their personal medical records.
This new project was not only highly valued by Su Tang Kent and others, but also by the dean and medical staff from other departments.
To ensure that the new project is not affected by any external factors.
The hospital even worked overtime to add new beds and beddings to all the general internal medicine wards on the day the project was confirmed. Not only did the number of beds in the entire department increase from 30 to the current 60, but they also temporarily recruited a large group of people to help Su Tang and his team, under the beautiful name of learning new technologies!
Of course, doctors who come to general internal medicine do have the idea of learning new technologies.
Before these medical staff arrived, they all had green lights on and raised their hands to sign up.
However, there were too many competitors, so they had no choice but to compete internally within the department. Finally, a dozen doctors and nurses broke through the siege, plus Kent's three people, as well as doctors from the oncology department and the thoracic surgery and general surgery operating room all signed up to participate.
All of a sudden, Pan Yuhao, Ma Jun and Xiong Wei were no longer able to work the night shift!
If it weren't for the fact that the department's outpatient clinic was not specialized enough to receive patients, these people would have wanted to snatch the clinic table of Ma Jun and the other two immediately and show off in front of Dr. Kent and Su Tang!
Pan Yuhao: “…”
Ma Jun: “…”
Xiong Wei: “…”
Although there are more people working in the department and the work has become easier than before, we are still a little uncomfortable with it~
The most important thing is, they also want to learn from Su Tang!
Pan Yuhao sat in the office, looking at the office that was suddenly "full of people" and filled with darkness. He then thought about the empty office with only one person at work every day in the past.
I always feel that if this continues, maybe, perhaps, probably...
As for that girl Su Tang, it's hard to say when she will no longer be a member of their general internal medicine department.
After all, there is a saying that goes, "People go to high places and water flows to low places." If this project is really successful, Su Tang will be poached by other hospitals. Their general internal medicine department has been declining for many years, even though there are suddenly more patients and doctors now.
But Pan Yuhao also knew...
This is just a passing cloud, a flash in the pan.
Once Dr. Kent leaves and the project is completed, those who need to leave will still leave, and cancer patients will still go to the oncology clinic as before, instead of their general internal medicine department...
This is the trend of the times that they have to face after the hospital reform.
However, this worry only lingered for a short while in the minds of Pan Yuhao and others.
Several people immediately took their notebooks and followed Su Tang to the patient's ward...
In addition to worrying that general internal medicine will disappear in the long river of hospital reform, they have another voice in their hearts!
As the saying goes: No establishment, no destruction!
General internal medicine might have disappeared in the reform, but now the Sixth Hospital has a growing interest in Chinese medicine. Even an internationally renowned doctor like Dr. Kent cannot resist this magical power of inheritance from thousands of years ago. It is like the weeds on the grassland that have been burned, and once the spring breeze blows, they will grow wild again...
Even this time, the magical combination of wild herbs and Western medicine seems to create a new world.
Maybe, after General Nei Ke disappears...
The Chinese and Western Medicine Association will be their new starting point.
Pan Yuhao, Ma Jun and others followed Su Tang like the doctors from other departments who came to study.
Su Tang had no idea what Pan Yuhao and the others were thinking. She had been busy seeing patients every day these days.
Among these 21 patients, 9 were in very poor health, 7 of them looked very serious, and the other two, although they did not seem to be particularly serious on the surface, were actually hollowed out inside, their bodies were weak, and their vital energy had dissipated.
Adding the eight patients already staying in her beds in the department, as well as Song Che and other vegetative patients in the Rehabilitation Department of the Central Hospital, and Wei Yan who lives next door to her who still needs acupuncture treatment, at least 38 patients need to be treated every day.
Acupuncture alone would take her several hours. If Director Fan had not called the Academic Affairs Department two days ago and said that she no longer needed to study with him and that he would study with Dr. Kent every day, the Academic Affairs Department would not have called her again.
Su Tang even doubted herself and felt that she was not able to handle the task.
With several doctors who wanted to learn Chinese medicine from her, Su Tang treated the patients carefully and explained the procedures to them in a similar way to how she taught the doctors in the rehabilitation department of the central hospital.
"The lung cancer patient in bed 1 has yellow tongue coating, purple tongue, and ecchymosis on the edges. It is qi stagnation and blood stasis, and phlegm blocking the airway. We should use Prunella Vulgaris, Licorice... for treatment. Recently, we have also used Tremella and Pig Liver Soup to moisten the lungs and nourish yin, and improve immunity... However, Dr. Kent said that the patient in bed 1 will have surgery tomorrow, so after the surgery, the patient should fast and wait for the anesthesia to wake up. It is best not to drink Tremella and Pig Liver Soup for the time being. Instead, it is better to drink Pig Liver and Minced Meat Congee. The latter is easier to digest and suitable for patients in the early stage of severe damage to their vitality."
"The lung cancer patient in bed 3 has already undergone a lobectomy... We should use a prescription that replenishes qi and nourishes yin, resolves phlegm and clears heat, and uses Radix Codonopsis pilosulae and Radix Adenophorae... to treat him... These patients after surgery have suffered a great loss of vitality after the lobectomy. We need to replenish qi and nourish yin, and enhance the patient's ability to resist evil toxins and diseases. This is the only way to improve the effectiveness of cancer treatment."
"In Chinese medicine books, patients' constitutions are divided into nine categories. Sometimes the medicines used for different constitutions are very different, which is why many treatment prescriptions cannot be made into finished herbal medicines. But the main purpose of the prescription I prescribed this time is to enhance immunity and body resistance, not to cure diseases... There is no need to divide it in such detail. We only need to divide it into two categories according to the yin and yang of the human body..."
“In traditional Chinese medicine, cancer belongs to the category of deficiency of the healthy body and excess of evil, or the prevalence of evil and decline of the healthy body… In other words, it is a deficiency syndrome caused by the deficiency of yin, yang, qi and blood… So don’t look at the patients in bed 1 and bed 3. The cancer has invaded different locations and to different degrees, but both of them actually have symptoms of yin deficiency, and both need to use prescriptions to replenish qi and nourish yin to improve the body’s immunity!…” Su Tang counted on his fingers while explaining to other doctors in the room the difference between this treatment and usual treatment, and briefly talked about medicated diet.
A group of doctors in white coats who were learning from Su Tang took out their small notebooks and quickly wrote down the key points of what Su Tang said.
When they were studying in school in the past, those who studied clinical medicine also needed to learn Chinese medicine.
However, the knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine taught in school is relatively superficial...
In addition, after coming to the hospital, they were exposed to Western medicine clinical practice. After a long time, most of the knowledge they learned in class was long forgotten.
However, in the past few days, as time went by, they also picked up the knowledge they had learned.
Especially in the past two days, I have seen that many patients have shown significant improvement after taking the decoction prescribed by Su Tang, and their coughing and hemoptysis have been significantly reduced.
It made them all feel like they were injected with chicken blood!
I wish I could hold a Chinese medicine book in my arms every day. I won’t sleep until the moon does!
I used to think that Western medicine was more effective, especially those expensive imported drugs which were at the forefront of technology.
But I didn't expect that this perception would be easily broken by Dr. Xiao Su!
It would be fine if it was just a common cold, but the problem is that these are all cancer patients! And they are relatively serious cancer patients!
"Why do I feel that this cancer patient is just like a cold in Doctor Su's care? He got much better after drinking herbal medicine for two days?" Looking at Su Tang's back as he left the patient after giving him acupuncture treatment, a doctor from the Department of Thoracic Oncology subconsciously touched his nose and murmured softly.
Chai Jiang glanced at him and said sarcastically, "It's not that other people treat cancer like a cold, it's that you treat a cold like cancer."
Thoracic oncologist: “???”
What the hell? Are you still my colleague in the same department? How can you be so kind as to back up a doctor? I don't care about my reputation!
Be careful or I'll put you in a sack when you come back to the department!
So, I stayed with a group of medical staff from the Sixth Hospital and studied and worked frantically, and a month passed quickly...
Dr. Kent performed the operation himself, and the tumors of these cancer patients were almost completely cleared. Director Fan and others who studied under Dr. Kent were all beaming with joy every day, as if they were mice falling into a rice jar, and they couldn't wait to perform the operation themselves. The doctors who studied under Su Tang also gained a lot, and they were all smiling.
As expected, she is the woman that Dr. Kent personally came from abroad to work with! She is different!
Of course……
The happiest among them are the cancer patients. Except for two patients whose conditions are too serious and whose medication and surgery have had little effect, and who have not been in good condition these days, the remaining 19 patients basically see a new change every day. Their bodies are getting better and better at a speed visible to the naked eye, their complexions are becoming more rosy, and their thin bodies are gradually becoming plump.
More and more patients and their families smiled, and this optimistic mood was also passed on to other staff in the department. Even the two seriously ill patients who had little effect were happy for others.
But...
Su Tang was a little dissatisfied with this, because she found that the most important reason for these two patients' failure was not because the decoction had no effect, but because their cancer cells were highly malignant...
In today's medicine, cancer cells are divided into many types. Some cancer cells respond very well to chemotherapy and radiotherapy and are highly sensitive to them. However, some cancer cells are not like this, for example: intestinal stromal tumors, renal clear cell carcinoma, etc. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy are like tickling Sun Wukong, and have almost no effect on them!
This reminded Su Tang instinctively of the new anti-cancer drug that Dr. Kent had mentioned when they first met.
If there is a better and more powerful anti-cancer drug, combined with a soup that can enhance the patient's own immunity, Su Tang thinks it will have miraculous effects.
Su Tang kept thinking about this in her heart, and it showed on her face unconsciously. However, Dr. Kent and Director Fan comforted her and said that doctors are just doctors, not gods.
In terms of the cure rate for this group of cancer patients, they have clearly taken the biggest step forward!
Now you can start thinking about your thesis and looking for a partner for drug manufacturing.
But this matter stumped Su Tang and Director Fan and others. They had never developed drugs before, nor had they ever worked with pharmaceutical manufacturers. Even with Dr. Kent's reputation as a paving way, two of the four pharmaceutical manufacturers in Shenzhen and the neighboring province rejected Su Tang. Of the remaining two, one said that after verification, they could spend 2 million to buy the formula. The other said that after verification, they could spend 8 million to buy it, but the premise was that the copyright belonged to their pharmaceutical factory!
