Morning meeting of the General Surgery Department of the Sixth Hospital.
The huge office was silent at this moment. All the junior doctors were as quiet as cicadas, with their heads lowered as if they wanted to bury them in their chests. Several senior doctors stood where they were, looking at the wall, the glass, or the chandelier on the ceiling, but not at Director Lei who was standing in the center.
"What? Why aren't you talking?"
Lei Tao's voice was like a bell, his face expressionless: "Why can't the number of patients with severe bleeding in our department be reduced? In the past two days, there have been four new cases. The hematology department called me last night. Do you know how embarrassed I was? They said that our general surgery doctors almost fought with other departments for a few bags of whole blood. How many times have you gone there this month? It directly accounts for 15% of the quota of the entire hospital. Can't you think of a way to reduce the probability of patients suffering from severe bleeding?"
"Do you know what other people call our department? They almost pointed at me and said that general surgery is a bunch of vampires!"
"Director Lei, our department used to be like this too."
Deputy Director Qian was really a little uncomfortable. Two of the new patients with severe bleeding in the past two days were his patients. He pinched his cheeks awkwardly and said helplessly: "... Liver and spleen rupture, liver and spleen transplantation, and total gastrectomy are all major surgeries, and severe bleeding often occurs. Their urology department performed a prostatectomy last week, and such a small operation still required a blood transfusion. Our department has so many major surgeries, and this aspect is really out of control."
The blood in the country is tense now.
Even though blood donation vehicles are roaming around the city every day and hospitals encourage medical staff to donate blood, there is still a shortage of blood. Sometimes there is even no blood in the hospital, and the patient's family members are needed to donate blood, and then this quota is used for conversion and allocation, otherwise there will be no blood.
"Huh? So you mean, I'm just farting here today?" Lei Tao glared at him, and his voice was so loud that it directly broke through the department office, almost making the patients outside think that several doctors in the department were about to fight.
“No, not really…”
Deputy Director Qian lowered his head in embarrassment, "It's just that we have basically done everything we can do. Preoperative screening to correct anemia, autologous blood storage, strict hemostasis during surgery, active cooperation in blood recovery, postoperative correction of coagulation function... Isn't this all we can do?"
Deputy Director Qian felt a little aggrieved. As a surgeon, especially at his level, he often had to perform major operations.
However, these major surgeries, apart from those in the emergency department and gynecology department, are the biggest consumers of blood.
Lei Tao looked towards Deputy Director Qian, his brows gradually wrinkled, and his death gaze almost froze him.
Being stared at closely by the director with a death glare, Deputy Director Qian gritted his teeth and simply spread his hands, "Director, I know you want us to reduce the amount of blood used and try to minimize bleeding during the operation. But it is not my decision whether these seriously ill patients come to our hospital. I can't meet a patient with liver cancer and not remove the liver, but let him receive conservative treatment, right? Wouldn't that damage the reputation of our hospital?"
"After all, our General Surgery Department is also the star department of the Sixth Hospital. We can't just not do any major surgeries and only do minor surgeries, right?"
The deputy director and the director were arguing with each other, and a group of junior doctors around them were almost trembling with fear, their heads almost drooping to the ground, and they wanted to cover their ears on the spot and pretend that they heard nothing.
How could these rookies who had just been admitted to the hospital not long ago listen to this kind of conversation and quarrel between big men?
But most people were whispering in their hearts that Deputy Director Qian was right.
What kind of surgeries are performed each month and how many surgeries are performed are really not something these people can control.
No matter which hospital, the emergency department, surgery department, and obstetrics and gynecology department are all major users of blood.
Director Lei's suggestion is really a bit unreasonable.
Their department can't just not perform the surgery because of a few words from the hematology department, right?
You know, in a tertiary hospital like theirs, many seriously ill patients are not locals, but come from far away from lower-level cities, and some even come from other provinces.
The vast majority of these patients are seriously ill and require difficult, major surgeries that lower-level city hospitals dare not operate on, or that lower-level hospitals can perform but are not able to perform well.
The amount of blood required is even greater.
Lei Tao raised his eyebrows and shouted, "Did I not allow you to perform surgery? You can treat the patient however you want, but don't you know how to interact with other departments?"
Deputy Director Qian: “………………?”
Deputy Director Qian's expression froze, and he almost thought the tinnitus in his ears was an hallucination.
What kind of interaction? Should he go to a neurosurgeon to have an operation on himself, install Einstein's brain, and then go back to study medicine?
"What's that expression on your face?"
Lei Tao had a strong aura. When he saw Deputy Director Qian's confused look, he frowned and said in a cold voice: "You are a deputy director of a department and you stay in the hospital every day. How come you don't even know what happened in the hospital?!"
Deputy Director Qian: “…………”
Deputy Director Qian didn't say anything. He didn't know what Director Lei was talking about.
Lei Tao was so angry when he saw this that his spit almost flew onto Deputy Director Qian's face. He pointed at Deputy Director Qian's nose and cursed: "How do you do your job as a deputy director? Even I, who often attend meetings outside and give lectures from time to time, know this. There is a doctor in the general internal medicine department of our hospital who can use acupuncture to stop bleeding for patients with massive hemorrhage and shock. Why don't you find him when you perform surgery on weekdays?!"
"Since the hematology department says the blood supply is insufficient, then you can ask this person to work with our department and perform two or three surgeries to get used to it. See which surgeries she can cooperate with and to what extent."
"If the liver, gallbladder and entire stomach can be treated, how many fewer cold stares will our department get from the hematology department in the future?!"
"You are all idiots! You still need me to find a solution? What on earth do you do in the hospital every day?!" Lei Tao was spitting and had a flaming temper. He almost slammed the table and pointed at the others and called them idiots.
Everyone in the general surgery department in the office looked confused.
Everyone looked at each other.
When did such a person come to their hospital? How could he be appreciated by Director Lei? How come they had never heard of such a person before?
Acupuncture to stop bleeding?
Are you kidding me? Minor wounds are fine, but major surgeries in their department can cause blood loss of hundreds or even thousands of pounds. How can two needles stop that much blood loss?
Most importantly,
Why is this person a general internal medicine doctor?
Shouldn't it be Traditional Chinese Medicine?
There were question marks all over the heads of the group of people, and everyone saw confusion about the whole thing from each other's eyes.
However, in the department, Director Lei's words are the emperor's decree.
No matter what people are thinking in their hearts at this moment, they still have to be respectful on the surface.
The chief resident immediately stepped forward and said, "Okay. Director, our department has two major surgeries scheduled in the next two days: a hepatectomy and a pancreaticoduodenectomy. I'll go find someone to discuss this right away."
However, some people who had worked the night shift in the past two days were able to vaguely guess something at this time.
A few days ago, Director Lei encountered a series of car accidents on the road. The patient was in shock due to hemothorax and massive bleeding. When he came back, he had dozens of silver needles stuck in his body. Some of them were removed before the operation, and some remained after the operation.
They didn't pay much attention at the time...
But now Director Lei specifically chose the morning meeting time to call the roll at this time.
I'm afraid that acupuncture and hemostasis are really good!
A group of people in the general surgery department were scratching their ears and cheeks early in the morning because of Su Tang, and even their baldness became more serious.
Even when Lei Tao finished the morning meeting and went to work in the outpatient clinic, the general surgery staff were still unable to recover.
The chief resident who was entrusted with the important task immediately created a WeChat group and inquired about this general internal medicine acupuncture master.
Fortunately, there are not many people in the general internal medicine department, and the chief resident quickly got the answer he wanted.
I immediately found the general internal medicine clinic.
………………
Su Tang had no idea that she had actually attracted a wave of hatred in the general surgery department early in the morning.
She has been very distressed these days.
It was clear that some time ago, she treated the most diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, rheumatoid arthritis, insomnia, etc. She also thought that she could become famous among the middle-aged and elderly groups and gain recognition by treating these diseases.
But Su Tang never expected——
She first became famous for her male health!
It was clear that Cheng Shengming had only been taking medication for a few days, but the other party had introduced more than a dozen patients to her, including four today alone.
Su Tang's throat was dry and his expression was sad: "………………"
I always feel that this trend is not what she thought...
After seeing off the impotence patient ST21, I pressed the call button again. Su Tang's little face looked wilted, like a cabbage covered with frost.
Pan Yuhao beside him shook his head.
Tsk tsk tsk, what's wrong with young people nowadays? Either they have weak kidneys or they want cars and high-speed trains. Can't they just ride a bicycle diligently?
“Knock, knock…”
After a while, there was a knock on the door.
A boy wearing black-framed glasses, carrying a laptop bag, and wearing a light blue T-shirt, who looked to be in his early twenties and as clean as a college student, was walking inside awkwardly with one hand on his waist.
"Doctor, come, help me..." The boy covered his waist with his hands, his expression embarrassed and painful, and he even closed the door when he came.
Before Su Tang could say anything, Pan Yuhao already showed sympathy: "Alas......"
I didn’t expect that even college students would have this need these days…
Judging from the boy's appearance, his impotence must be quite serious. At least none of the other patients came in holding their waists.
"How many years have you been like this? Was it 'Hard as a Request' who introduced you here?"
Pan Yuhao was a very outgoing person. He patted the boy on the shoulder and greeted him warmly, "Don't worry, Doctor Xiao Su is very good at medicine. Many patients in your MSI group have come to see him before."
"What MSI cluster? I was not introduced by someone else..."
The boy was stunned and didn't react. He mumbled, "I got hurt while accompanying my girlfriend. I found this myself..."
"You found it yourself?" Pan Yuhao was surprised.
Is Xiao Su from their department already so famous?
Su Tang raised her head and looked at the boy.
The boy covered his waist with his hands and stammered, "What, what happened...? Can't I just come here and see the doctor?... Isn't this a hospital? Can I just register directly?"
"No, as long as you have registered, you are a patient of our department and you can see me however you want."
Fearing that the patient might misunderstand, Pan Yuhao waved his hands and pushed hard: "Three minutes, five minutes, ten minutes... as long as you want, our Doctor Xiao Su will try his best to meet your needs! Several patients with impotence said it was good a few days ago!"
However, the boy's face turned red and he stammered, "No, no... I just twisted my waist while walking the dog with my girlfriend... No, I'm not here to get impotence..."
"My girlfriend has a Husky and an Alaskan." The boy said aggrievedly.
Pan Yuhao: “…………”
Su Tang: “………………”
