Chapter 195 Extra 2

The End of the Old Times (1)

On an international flight, Alfred was in a bad mood as he sat in the first class cabin with his daughter, wife, and agent.

The little girl was not very old, only about five or six years old. She had a pale and chubby face, but her eyes were as bright as stars.

The little girl tugged at Alfred's sleeve softly, and said in a soft and small voice, "Dad, do you think my illness will be cured after I go to China this time?"

"Yes, Dad has made an appointment with a very good doctor." Alfred touched his daughter's hair, which was becoming thinner due to chemotherapy, and spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Really? That's great!"

The little girl showed Alfred a brilliant smile, her eyes shining brightly, and she said happily: "Dad, I am not afraid of pain. As long as my illness can be cured, grandma will not cry secretly behind my back anymore."

I saw my father and mother looking at me in surprise.

The little girl scratched her head a little embarrassedly and whispered, "Last time I was playing with my dog ​​at home, I secretly saw my grandma hiding in the room and crying. I know my disease is difficult to cure, but I still want to get better quickly..."

The little girl lowered her head shyly: "Although it hurts every time I go to the hospital for an injection, I know it's for my own good, so I'm not afraid of injections."

The little girl's voice was soft and milky, but it almost made Alfred's wife cry. Alfred hugged his daughter tightly and held the child in his arms.

Two years ago, Alfred's daughter was diagnosed with acute leukemia. Her condition improved after a bone marrow transplant, and she took Qiankun Peiyuan Soup during chemotherapy, which gradually stabilized her condition. The whole family was very happy at the time, thinking that the same thing would happen in the future.

Generally speaking, acute leukemia is divided into several types by hospitals. Among them, acute promyelocytic leukemia does not require bone marrow transplantation. It only requires taking an anti-cancer drug invented by a Chinese academician, which can have a 70% to 80% chance of curing it.

But for the remaining leukemia, besides chemotherapy, the only option left is bone marrow transplantation, and there is no guarantee that it will not recur in the future!

Because leukemia is a malignant tumor with a high probability of recurrence, it is like a thorn in the flesh, following you everywhere!

His daughter was obviously very unlucky. She was a kind, lively and lovely child, but she had a relapse in the second year.

This once plunged the Alfred family into despair!

Even if she could have surgery again after the leukemia recurred, no one could guarantee Alfred that it would not recur again. By then, after long-term chemotherapy, erosion and infection of cancer cells, would her young daughter still have the opportunity to have a third surgery?

So under such circumstances, the famous hematologist who originally treated my daughter suggested that he go to China to see a doctor named Su Tang.

He was ranked 16th in the list of famous doctors in the world last year. Although he is not a hematologist, he has cured many patients with extremely aggressive cancers. Many of them, like his daughter, were leukemia patients who had relapsed for the second or even third time. They all said that the results were excellent.

Because of his outstanding medical skills, high global ranking and great reputation.

Therefore, many patients came to him for treatment. This time, Alfred spent a lot of money and consulted many people before he was able to contact his assistant.

Lily was young, still a child, so her parents agreed to add an extra bed for her treatment.

This prompted the Alfred family, along with their agents and bodyguards, to fly to Shenzhen, China without stopping.

Alfred kissed his daughter's head and said, "My Lily is so brave! When you get to the hospital, you must be polite to the doctors, nurses and everyone else in the hospital, okay? The doctors and nurses will like Lily very much."

"Hmmmm~!" The little girl nodded, like a lively and cute little lamb.

Sixth Hospital, General Internal Medicine Doctor’s Office.

"The uremia patient in bed 8 has severe coronary heart disease and cannot have a kidney transplant. He needs to be treated in our department first before undergoing surgery...Xiao Liu, please write me a treatment plan. It won't work if you only have the medical records but no plan. And if you look carefully at this uremia patient, he doesn't need a kidney transplant right away. Judging from his current test report, he can survive for at least another five years after treatment."

Su Tang stood in the office, flipping through the medical records in his hand, and said in a serious tone: "After a kidney transplant for uremia, the patient can generally only survive for 10 to 15 years, and he still needs to take anti-rejection drugs for a long time. Bed 8's family conditions are not good, and he can persist for 5 years, which can help him reduce a lot of expenses."

"Yes, Director Su." The doctor named Xiao Liu took the medical record from Su Tang and shrank into the corner like a quail, his face full of fear and timidity.

There was no way. Even though Director Su looked about the same age as them, and even as a woman, she was still obviously a head shorter than him.

But even so, Xiao Liu still felt that Director Su had an aura of 2.8 meters, while he... cough cough cough! was just the quail hiding in the corner.

Who is not afraid of being called out by his or her boss?

In front of so many general medicine medical staff, Xiao Liu wanted to wear a special invisibility cloak!

Fortunately, he was not the only one who felt embarrassed, and soon others were also called out by Su Tang.

"Who is in charge of bed 12? Why do you prescribe this medicine for a patient with advanced liver cancer? I remember you admitted a patient with the same advanced liver cancer last week? Is it possible to copy homework? Don't tell me about the patient's constitution. Look at the patient's description on this medical record. The constitutions of these two people are obviously the same. How come you can't even see this? Go back and read the book "Basic Theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine" twice."

Su Tang frowned and spoke in a stern tone, while a group of young doctors stood beside her, trembling.

As Su Tang pointed out the problems of the group of people one by one, everyone hung their heads and wished they could shrink into the wall.

On the contrary, the customer manager who was sitting at the upper seat was calm and composed, as if he didn't hear the storm around him.

When the group of people left the office in a hurry, Ke Zhangqiu looked at Su Tang and smiled, "Xiao Su, I think the guys in the department are most afraid of you. It's only been four or five years, and the general internal medicine department has changed a lot. I'm really getting old."

When Su Tang first joined the general internal medicine department, the old man was already over 70 years old and was a retired member who was re-employed.

Now, another four or five years have passed, and Ke Zhangqiu looks older and older, with traces of time in his eyes, eyebrows, and even every strand of hair.

"What are you talking about, Director? You may be old but your heart is young! Besides, in our field, aren't we more popular as we age?" She had a feeling that something was going to happen. Su Tang's heart skipped a beat and she smiled instinctively, not wanting to think about it any further.

However, she didn't want to, so the old man still sat on the chair and said, "Xiao Su, I'm really ready to retire this time. I've been having a hard time going to work these days... and general internal medicine is no longer the same as it used to be."

The old man's eyes were deep, as if he had traveled through endless years and returned to decades ago: "There were so many patients in the general internal medicine department at that time, and I was too busy to finish my work every day. But now it is like those light industrial enterprises abandoned by the times in third-tier cities. Although it still has productivity, the factory buildings are old, the machinery is outdated, and even the transportation of raw materials is much more expensive than that of coastal enterprises due to geographical issues. It has been submerged by the tide of the times and cannot be saved..."

Su Tang frowned and said, "Director Ke, you don't have to be so sad... Look at our department, it's overcrowded now. Every day, countless patients from all over the world come to stay in the general internal medicine department. It is now emitting new vitality. And I will lead it further and further in the future and will not let it be drowned by the waves."

"No, the current general internal medicine department is no longer a real general internal medicine department. Look at the patients admitted to the department now, and then look at the main treatment methods used in our department now."

The old man looked at Su Tang, shook his head and smiled, "Compared to general internal medicine, it is more appropriate to be called Chinese and Western medicine now."

Ke Zhangqiu said with a smile: "Look at how many doctors in our hospital have started to learn Chinese medicine in the past four or five years because of your influence? In our department alone, everyone except me has tried to take the Chinese medicine license exam. In our department, there are only 12 people in total, including the trainees, and 6 of them have obtained dual licenses."

Ke Zhangqiu laughed and said, "In this case, can general internal medicine still be called general internal medicine?"

Su Tang wanted to explain: "This..."

Ke Zhangqiu waved his hand to interrupt what Su Tang wanted to say, and said with a kind smile: "You don't need to explain anything to me... The general internal medicine departments in other hospitals have gradually disappeared over the years and have been replaced by other departments... The general internal medicine department in our hospital was originally planned to be cancelled after I retire."

"Now let's cancel it according to the plan that the dean and I had originally agreed upon..." Ke Zhangqiu said with a smile: "I have already discussed with the dean that after I retire next month and leave the hospital, the general internal medicine department will be officially changed to the integrated Chinese and Western medicine department."

"..." Su Tang was silent. She didn't know how to answer for a moment and could only look at Ke Zhangqiu silently.

"The end of one era marks the beginning of a new one."

"Our hospital didn't have a department combining Chinese and Western medicine before. You have to lead this department well in the future! Go further and further!"

Ke Zhangqiu smiled and patted Su Tang's shoulder, then walked out, leaving behind only the thin figure in the white coat and the old man's voice.

Su Tang looked at Ke Zhangqiu's departing back and murmured in a slightly nasal voice, "Hey, isn't it just retirement? I'm just going home to hug my grandson, why is it made out like a life-and-death farewell... Weird, so sentimental."

Most importantly, she couldn't stand such sensationalism.

Su Tang sighed, but Director Ke's mention of the integrated Chinese and Western medicine department made her a little eager to try it.

"Don't worry, Mr. Ke, I will definitely take this department further and further in the future..." Su Tang murmured solemnly. This was her promise to Mr. Ke, and also her promise to herself.

The author has something to say:

It's over, I'm useless. I wrote so much today that I feel like my arms are not my own. Those authors who write 10,000 a day are really amazing. This apprenticeship is useless. I need to install two more robotic arms and four more hands to type.

PS: I had thought of writing the general internal medicine department when I was writing the outline. When I was looking for information, I found that many hospitals no longer have this department. There are very few tertiary hospitals that have general internal medicine departments. I think other departments may completely replace them in the future. It is for this reason that I decided to write about general internal medicine, so that the protagonist can feel upgraded. In the future, it will be a department that combines Chinese and Western medicine. Muah.
