Chapter 55: Recruiting patients, even their own people



Su Tang was busy in the operating room from around seven in the morning until around six in the afternoon. During this time, she had a free lunch in the restaurant on the second floor of the operating room, and then continued to be busy.

It was not until the afternoon that Su Tang moved her stiff neck and prepared to leave.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Lei Tao walked beside Su Tang, pretended to cough twice, and asked curiously: "Xiao Su, what's wrong with you today? Why are you working so hard all of a sudden?"

"No, I've always worked like this." Su Tang smiled and didn't intend to explain further.

She couldn't tell Director Lei that we were actually living in a novel. This world was fake and I might die at any time.

If she said this, people would probably think she was crazy, even though she didn't even have any evidence so far.

Therefore, Su Tang did not mention it from beginning to end, but just deliberately joked: "Hey, Director Lei, you don't know. My recent goal is to become the brightest kid in the operating room of the Sixth Hospital. After a while, I will be on par with the academicians, hehehe."

Lei Tao choked up and said, "It's a good thing for young people to have goals and aspirations. But I'm afraid that just stopping bleeding with acupuncture won't make you an academician."

Su Tang smiled and said, "That's why I have to work hard! Let's start with this paper!"

Lei Tao: “…………”

…………

General Internal Medicine Inpatient Department.

It has been a little after seven in the morning until now, so Su Tang should have been well past the end of get off work time.

However, there were still four patients waiting for her in the department, so Su Tang did not dare to delay for a moment and hurried back to the inpatient department to give acupuncture.

Arranged in order of beds, Su Tang naturally went to Cheng Laoyezi's ward first.

Mr. Cheng is now in much better condition than when he was admitted to the hospital. He was paralyzed in all four limbs at the beginning, but now he can comb his hair with his hands, and he can lift his feet with a little effort to move three or four centimeters away from the bed. He was originally unable to speak, and could only talk to people slurred, but now he speaks more and more clearly, and even his crooked mouth corners have been significantly improved.

If this hadn't happened right before her eyes, Cheng Yingxiang wouldn't even have believed that her husband would be able to recover to this extent one day.

Cheng Yingxiang stood beside the bed and watched Su Tang give her the injection, not daring to breathe.

Cheng Shengming stood behind Cheng Yingxiang's voice, also staring intently.

Even though Su Tang gave acupuncture to Old Master Cheng every day, Cheng Yingxiang and her son still found it extremely magical.

Such a small steel needle, with nothing on it, was able to cure a seriously ill patient with quadriplegia to the point where he was able to lift his arms on his own.

In fact, even Su Tang couldn't make Old Master Cheng get out of bed and walk by himself, but in the eyes of Cheng Yingxiang and her son, it was already a huge success!

However, since Su Tang said it could be cured, both mother and son still held high hopes.

"The old man has been doing much better in the past two days."

Su Tang put down Master Cheng's wrist and said with a smile: "I guess Master will be able to try to go out on his own in the next two days."

If patients with lower limb paralysis want to walk, they not only need to be able to lift their legs and leave the bed, but also need to be able to bend their knees and lift their toes. This is the most basic requirement for a paralyzed patient to get out of bed and walk. Two days ago, Grandma Cheng was able to lift her legs with difficulty under the treatment of acupuncture prescriptions. If she can bend her knees in the next two days, then she can start to remind her family and prepare for the patient's rehabilitation.

Cheng Yingxiang, Cheng Shengming and the others didn't really understand all this. They were just as happy as if they had drunk honey when they heard Su Tang say that the old man would be able to go to the fields in two days.

If Cheng Shengming still doubted Su Tang's medical skills when he first came here, thinking that a rookie who just graduated from school dared to speak so arrogantly, then now Cheng Shengming will believe everything Su Tang says!

After slightly rocking the bed and finding a suitable lying position for the patient, Su Tang picked up a smaller acupuncture needle than usual, disinfected the acupuncture points, and started to insert the needles directly. The Jinjin and Yuye points can treat speech problems and swallowing dysfunction, while the Neiguan and Zusanli points can treat the legs and feet and dredge the meridians...

Su Tang, who knew Mr. Cheng's condition very well, did not hesitate at all when inserting the needle. He inserted the next needle almost immediately after the previous one was completed.

Old Master Cheng only felt a sour and bloated air current, accompanied by waves of heat, whirling back and forth in his body, especially his legs, which had been able to lift slightly a few days ago. It felt like they were soaking in a warm hot spring, and it felt like something was drilling into his legs, making them sore and bloated...

Although he knew clearly that he should not move during an injection, Mr. Cheng somehow moved his stiff legs and actually stood up from the bed!

Su Tang: “????”

Cheng Yingxiang, Cheng Shengming: “???!!!!!!”

"Dad, you stood up!!!" Cheng Shengming was so excited that he couldn't help but shout out loud.

"Old Cheng! You're up, you really stood up, you really stood up!" Cheng Yingxiang was equally excited, and her happy voice went through the open door and directly reached other rooms in the department.

"Hey hey hey!"

Su Tang was about to vomit blood, and said anxiously: "Master, please don't move, my needles are still inserted there! I still have three acupuncture points to be inserted!"

"Eh? Right, right, right, Dad, why did you stand up all of a sudden? Doctor Su hasn't finished the injection yet!"

"Hey old man, sit down quickly! What's wrong with you? You suddenly stood up and gave Dr. Su a big shock."

"Son, hurry up! Help your dad sit down. Be careful not to bump the needles on your body!"

Su Tang was really about to vomit blood.

She didn't expect that the patient would stand up on his own after only half of the needle was inserted. Although her acupuncture was used to stimulate the acupoints so that the patient could stand up as soon as possible, it did not mean that the patient could stand up immediately.

"ah……?!"

Reminded by the chaos of a group of people in the room, Old Master Cheng seemed to have just realized his current condition. He slowly lowered his head and looked at his legs standing beside the bed. For a moment, tears flowed down his face, and he laughed and cried at the same time.

Even though my muscles have atrophied and I have no strength because I haven't been able to stand up for a long time, my legs are trembling when I stand, and now they are so heavy that I have no strength to take another step forward.

But he stood up!

He has been lying in bed for over a year!

If it weren't for the paralysis caused by this stroke, Mr. Cheng couldn't even believe that there would be a day in his life when he would be so happy that he would tremble all over just because he could stand up from the bed with a slight tremor.

"Oh! Don't get too excited, old man. You've had a stroke before. What if you get too excited and have a second stroke?"

Seeing the old man so excited, Su Tang hurriedly urged: "Mr. Cheng, help the old man to bed quickly. He hasn't gotten up for a long time. What if he falls down?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Then please sit down and don't stand up. Finish the injection first. What if you fall down?" Repeatedly urged by Su Tang and Cheng Yingxiang, Cheng Shengming hurriedly stepped forward to support his father.

"Dad, lie down on the bed, lie down quickly."

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh..."

This time, Master Cheng no longer resisted. He obediently followed the instructions of Su Tang and the others and quickly lay down on the hospital bed, being careful to avoid touching the steel needles in his body as much as possible.

The chaotic noise in bed 9's ward not only attracted the attention of the patient in bed 10 next to him, but also caught the attention of the family of Wu Zhongwei, the former director of the geriatric department, who lived next door.

Mrs. Wu and Miss Wu stood outside the ward door and did not go in, but they looked at Mr. Cheng without blinking.

Watching Old Master Cheng trembling slightly, standing beside the bed without anyone to support him, watching the faces of the Cheng family members full of excitement, watching the chaos in the room...

Mrs. Wu and her daughter couldn't help but become excited.

"Will your father be able to stand up like him in the future?" Mrs. Wu's voice trembled slightly, unable to hide her excitement.

Miss Wu nodded, put her arm around her mother's shoulders and said firmly, "Don't worry, Mom, Dad will be able to stand up! We should trust Dr. Su...!"

In fact, when Mr. Cheng stood up from the hospital bed this time, not only the Cheng family was extremely happy, but also the Wu family and the Xie family were ecstatic.

Mrs. Xie was followed by the housekeeper, standing not far from the door. The two of them could clearly see the situation in the ward through the open door.

Mother Xie was delighted and said repeatedly: "Good, good, good, Zhuo Kai's father will definitely be able to stand up like this old man from the Cheng family!"

"Madam, you are right. Doctor Su is a good doctor. The old man's complexion has looked much rosier these days, and his condition is obviously much better than when he was in the sanatorium." The housekeeper nodded in agreement.

…………

Su Tang could understand but also felt helpless about Mr. Cheng's situation.

As she gave him the last three injections, she warned him, "Master, next time, don't stand up suddenly when I'm giving you an injection... You almost scared me to death."

"Many of the acupuncture points I give are fatal acupuncture points. It's okay if the needle doesn't touch these acupuncture points... If it touches them, and the needle is inserted too deep, it can be fatal!" Su Tang deliberately spoke more seriously, for fear that the old man would stand up again next time when she was giving acupuncture.

"Oh...Xiao Su, are you telling me whether this is true or not?"

Master Cheng said aggrievedly: "Why do I feel like you are trying to fool me? This is not a martial arts novel..."

Su Tang's eyes widened, her expression serious: "Before I gave you the injection, I said that you could get out of bed in half a month. Do you believe me? There was a social news before that someone stabbed himself in the butt with a small knife and died of heavy bleeding... You have so many acupuncture points on your body, how can you say it is more powerful than that small knife? With so many needles, if you accidentally touch it, or the needle goes too deep, you will stab yourself and become paralyzed in bed. You don't even consider it."

Master Cheng: “…………”

Old Master Cheng shrank his neck and lay on the bed, not daring to speak.

This acupuncture can make him go from being paralyzed to being well again, and maybe it can also make him go from being a good person to being paralyzed again.

Old Master Cheng was worried. He looked at the steel needles on his body. He thought that maybe some of the acupuncture points had been disturbed by him just now.

But don't let him become paralyzed again just after he stood up.

…………

News that the general internal medicine department helped a patient who had been paralyzed for more than a year after a stroke to get out of bed and walk on his own.

In less than an hour, it spread throughout the entire general internal medicine department as if it had grown wings.

This was not a special promotion by the general internal medicine staff, but Cheng Shengming was a person who could not sit still. When he saw his old man was able to get out of bed, he immediately rushed to the fruit stand outside the hospital and bought five large boxes of apples and grapes.

Two boxes were distributed to all inpatients and their families in the department today, and the other three boxes were sent to the nurses' station and the doctor's office for everyone to share.

Cheng Shengming smiled like a fool, carrying the last few apples in the box and walked to the VIP ward at the back of the general internal medicine department.

Before he went to buy apples, he specifically asked the nurses at the department how many patients there were in the department.

Therefore, Cheng Shengming knew that there was a patient in this room even before he knocked on the door.

Cheng Shengming didn't think much about it and just thought that the person living in this private ward was just a relatively wealthy person.

However, unexpectedly, Cheng Shengming had just knocked on the door twice when two muscular men in black suits appeared at the door.

Cheng Shengming: “…………Ah?”

Cheng Shengming was unable to react for a moment and just thought that the patient's family member was tall and strong, just like the doctor named Pan Yuhao in the general internal medicine department.

I didn't expect the next second...

Cheng Shengming turned his eyes and saw Xie Zhuokai sitting on the sofa in the ward, working on a laptop.

The other person was not wearing a suit at the moment, just a simple dark blue shirt with his tie loosened. He was sitting on the sofa with a straight nose and deep facial features.

Cheng Shengming: “…………”

Cheng Shengming said dryly: "Thank you, Mr. Xie... Why are you here? Haha, if I had known earlier, I would have come here to say hello in advance, haha..."

Cheng Shengming hesitated: "Boss Xie, I asked for leave today...I didn't miss work on purpose."

Xie Zhuokai glanced at Cheng Shengming, lowered his head and continued to focus on the computer, saying lightly: "Well, I know you are not on duty."

Cheng Shengming: “…………”

Cheng Shengming's throat was dry and he couldn't continue.

Obviously he didn't do anything, but just giving an apple was like jumping from a comedy set into a horror movie.

I looked down at the four or five apples left in the apple box in my hand...

Cheng Shengming was so embarrassed that he wanted to bang his head against the wall. If he had known that it was President Xie in the room, he should have directly moved all the fruits from the fruit shop downstairs here, let alone four or five apples!

How could he give away these apples?

Happy, surprised, shocked, nervous, embarrassed, and then wishing he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into. In just 30 seconds, Cheng Shengming's entire mental journey was like riding a roller coaster, with countless ups and downs.

He racked his brains, thinking about what to say in front of the chairman at this moment.

But Xie Zhuokai, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly looked up at him and asked in confusion: "Why are you still standing there? Aren't you going to give apples to everyone?"

Cheng Shengming: “……??!!!”

"Yes, yes, yes, Mr. Xie, I'm here to give you apples... hehehe."

Cheng Shengming was received on the stairs, and he immediately climbed down the pole and said with a smile: "My father is hospitalized here. His condition has improved a lot and he can walk on his own... So I bought some apples for everyone, thinking that everyone would be happy together. I didn't expect that you, Mr. Xie, also knew about it."

"I just heard your voices in the ward when I entered the hospital. Congratulations, Manager Cheng."

Xie Zhuokai nodded: "To be honest, if it wasn't for Manager Cheng's recommendation, I wouldn't have brought my father to the Sixth Hospital for treatment... Now that I see Manager Cheng's father can get out of bed and walk, I'm also very happy..."

Cheng Shengming: “…………Huh?”

Huh? Cheng Shengming was confused. When did he recommend the boss to come to the Sixth Hospital?

He remembered that he had never said anything to his boss. Only a few days ago, his boss sent Secretary Zhou to the hospital to see his father, but he didn't think of recommending him to his boss at that time.

"Dr. Su, recommended by Manager Cheng, is very good."

Xie Zhuokai slowly put down the documents in his hand and said: "My parents and I admire Dr. Su's medical skills. Manager Cheng has also worked hard this year. His bonus will be doubled at the end of the year."

If Cheng Shengming had not specifically mentioned Dr. Su in the office at the time, and later recommended Dr. Su to treat the sequelae of paralysis caused by stroke with other colleagues, he might not have known at the time that there was such a miracle doctor who could treat the sequelae of paralysis caused by stroke in the corner of the Sixth Hospital.

Double the year-end bonus?

Cheng Shengming's ears twitched, and his eyes immediately lit up: "Thank you, Mr. Xie! Thank you, Mr. Xie!"

Oh no! Who cares? Although he didn’t know why the boss thought he was the one who recommended Dr. Su, if the bonus was doubled…

Not only did his father's hospitalization cost nothing, but the remaining bonus was enough to buy his wife a bag!

His father got better, and he got a raise.

Cheng Shengming felt that Su Tang was simply his lucky star!

…………

Mr. Cheng's condition has improved, and not only has everyone in the general internal medicine department felt a joyful atmosphere.

At the same time, it also made Mrs. Wu and others become more proactive. When Su Tang gave Director Wu an injection, she could clearly feel the changes in the Wu family.

Even Xie's mother and Wang Yunyun's attitudes had changed significantly.

Su Tang is very happy about this. The more cooperative the patient's family is, the better the patient's mood will be, and the faster the patient will recover.

Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes "mental therapy", which includes not only the traditional Yin-Yang method to treat diseases, but also the emotional method and the empathy method, etc. These are the simplest psychological therapies. Among them, the Zhuyou method is a method in traditional Chinese medicine that uses emotions to treat diseases and relieve patients' psychological stress.

Whether it is the sequelae of stroke paralysis or Wang Xiaomei's high-level paralysis, these are all very serious diseases.

Patients and their families are often under tremendous pressure, and Su Tang thinks it is good to be able to take this opportunity to let everyone take a break.

When Su Tang finished giving injections to everyone in the ward and was about to leave with her bag on her back.

Su Tang saw the customer service manager who had taken off his white coat and was also preparing to leave work.

Ke Zhangqiu looked at Su Tang for a moment and said with a smile: "Xiao Su, I think you are doing a good job in the department... It just so happens that the province has invited me to attend a meeting these two days. Lan Haicui will follow you for the next two days, and you can teach her some practical skills. In two weeks, the girl will have to go to another department."

Generally speaking, the interns at the Sixth Hospital will rotate in various departments of the hospital for two to three years. Lan Haicui had already worked in the general internal medicine department for more than two months, and it was almost time for her to leave.

Su Tang was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Sure, as long as Dr. Lan doesn't mind, I have no problem."

Su Tang now has a special position in the general internal medicine department, even though her professional title is not high and she is even a rookie who has just been admitted to the hospital.

But as a doctor, he is still very good in medical skills.

Especially in the field of neurology and traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture and hemostasis, he is no less skilled than those experienced doctors who have been working there for more than ten years. Even many elderly patients like to see Su Tang.

This is also the reason why Ke Zhangqiu took the initiative to suggest that Su Tang take care of Lan Haicui.

"But speaking of it... I've been in the department for such a long time, but I haven't gotten to know Dr. Lan much." Su Tang scratched her head and thought carefully about what had happened in the past few days.

As a resident intern, the other party was almost always by Director Ke's side. Except for when Ke Zhang asked to go out and the department's morning rounds, there was really no chance for the two to spend time together.

You have to know that I basically bring my own lunch box even when I eat. I don't need to order takeout or go to the cafeteria like other doctors.

The outpatient clinic is not in the same office, and Lan Haicui has to eat in the office, so she doesn't have to work the night shift like them.

Just thinking about being able to spend time together is a miracle...

"Don't worry, Director. I will get along well with Doctor Lan." Su Tang smiled and gave Ke Zhangqiu two thumbs up.

Since the number of patients in the department has gradually increased, Su Tang and others have to spend more time on ward rounds every morning. Moreover, Su Tang also needs to perform acupuncture on stroke paralyzed patients and amputated patients every morning. Therefore, she will arrive at the ward half an hour earlier every morning to treat the four patients first.

Lan Haicui, as usual, would rush to the department before the ward rounds.

This morning, the hospital director went to a meeting. Lan Haicui followed Su Tang as instructed by the hospital director until the ward rounds were over and the group came to the clinic. Pan Yuhao then looked at Su Tang quietly: "Doctor Su... I really didn't expect that the director would ask you to supervise Doctor Lan... But you use traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture and medicinal diet prescriptions, and Doctor Lan studied Western medicine... Can you really do this?"

"Black cat or white cat, a cat that can catch mice is a good cat. You are a student of Western clinical medicine, but don't you still use Chinese patent medicine? Doctor Lan has only been with me for two days. Is it possible that he can't learn it, and can he learn it badly?" Su Tang wrinkled her nose and snorted twice.

"Uh..." Pan Yuhao touched his nose and stopped talking. The so-called Chinese patent medicines are some ready-made Chinese medicines in clinical practice. For example, Wuji Baifeng Pills and so on are all considered Chinese patent medicines.

Whether it is Wuji Baifeng Pills, Yunnan Baiyao, or Liuwei Dihuang Pills, he has recommended them to other patients before.

Facing the small quarrel between Su Tang and Pan Yuhao, Lan Haicui was quite calm. She pushed her glasses on the bridge of her nose and smiled: "I think whether it is Chinese patent medicine, Chinese medicine, or antibiotics, I think they are all good. For example, I sometimes use vitamin C and retinol for skin care products, and sometimes I also use pure Chinese medicine products. I think as long as it is suitable, it's fine."

When Lan Haicui mentioned this, Su Tang moved her nose subconsciously. Instinctively, she tried to distinguish the faint aroma of Chinese medicine coming from the other person - there was Angelica dahurica for beauty and anti-aging, as well as Atractylodes macrocephala, Angelica sinensis and Chuanxiong, which are Chinese herbs that promote blood circulation...

Su Tang glanced at Lan Haicui, blinked and said, "Doctor Lan, you are using a freckle removal product, right? I smell whitening, blood stasis-activating and blood-nourishing medicine."

"Well, I have two Chinese herbal prescriptions for removing freckles. Would you like to try them, Dr. Lan?" Su Tang was eager to try.

Lan Haicui: “…………”

Lan Haicui said dryly: "No, no need... I haven't used up all my skin care products yet."

As a temporary member of the general internal medicine department, Lan Haicui was very clear about Su Tang's "great achievements" during this period, from treating impotence, to acupuncture to stop bleeding, to the sequelae of stroke paralysis, etc., but none of them were related to skin care.

However, Lan Haicui felt a little guilty for rejecting Su Tang. She opened her mouth and wanted to say sorry.

Unexpectedly, the next second Lan Haicui heard Su Tang's murmurs.

"Well, I originally wanted to let Dr. Lan try it first, just apply it on half of the face for comparison, let other patients see the effect, and then take a video, and use this video to attract new patients..."

Su Tang looked at the freckles on Lan Haicui's cheeks and nose and murmured with regret, "What a pity, such good freckles, it seems there is no chance now..."

Lan Haicui: “……???”

Pan Yuhao: “………………”

Are you a devil? You don't even spare your own people in order to recruit patients!

Half of the face is covered with spots, the other half is clean, is that face still acceptable? ? !
