The Department of Endocrinology is not a prominent department in the Sixth Hospital.
It's not even a key department, it's just ordinary and mediocre.
However, this only applies to other departments, and general internal medicine is not included in these other departments.
What is general internal medicine?
This is the worst department in their hospital!
Normally it would be fine to treat a cold or fever, but now there are middle school students coming to the general internal medicine department to check their growth and development???
The head physician of the endocrinology department stood at the door with his eyes wide open in disbelief.
As the saying goes, every profession has its specialties. The general internal medicine department, which is a panacea, doesn’t think that all it needs to treat children’s growth and development abnormalities is a little growth hormone, right?
"Hey, isn't this Dr. Zhu from the Endocrinology Department?"
As soon as Dr. Liu from the Department of Gastroenterology walked out of the consulting room, he saw Dr. Zhu standing at the door of the Department of General Internal Medicine, peeking inside.
Doctor Liu stroked his chin and sighed, "It took so many days for Doctor Zhu to come. You guys in the endocrinology department are really good-tempered."
Endocrinologist Zhu: “………………Huh?”
Doctor Zhu was completely confused. In broad daylight, it was one thing for the general internal medicine department to steal their patients, but why were the gastroenterologists also speaking a language he couldn't understand?
Doctor Liu sighed twice: "These days, in the past ten days or so, every morning there has been a large group of old men and women coming here to treat diabetes... I remember that diabetes and thyroid diseases are the main focus of your endocrinology department, right? Judging from this speed, it won't be long before diabetes treatment and care become the golden signboard of general internal medicine."
"You can endure this for so long before coming to the general internal medicine department to check on the situation. If this isn't a good temper, what is it?" Doctor Liu raised an eyebrow. "Before, Deputy Director Fan of the Urology Department couldn't even hold out for three days, so he sent an intern to come here."
Doctor Liu clicked his tongue twice. The urology intern's shocking roar in the internal medicine inpatient building was not only heard by the dean on the first floor, but also by people on the lower floors of the internal medicine inpatient department, a large group of security guards who were always squatting on the first floor of the inpatient department, and medical staff and patients who were passing by at the time.
Hospital gossip spreads the fastest within the hospital.
He was working in the outpatient clinic that day and heard the gossip in the afternoon.
Doctor Zhu was choked for two seconds before he reacted.
He looked Dr. Liu up and down for a moment, then suddenly realized: "You are so angry... Could it be that your patient was taken away?"
Doctor Liu: “????”
I explained it to you out of kindness, but you actually stabbed me twice? What the hell?!
Dr. Liu, who had lost many patients to the aroma of medicinal food in recent days, was cursing in his heart.
Your eyesight is so good, it would be a shame not to do eye exercises.
"Well, I don't really care whether patients are snatched away or not. After all, there are hundreds of hospitals in Shenzhen, big and small. If the diabetes is not very serious, patients generally don't like to go to our endocrinology department. They just go to other departments for treatment and buy the medicine." Doctor Zhu scratched his head a little embarrassedly.
Metformin and insulin are almost essential medicines for diabetic patients, and are also the two most commonly used drugs for treatment of more than 80 to 90 percent of diabetic patients.
Because even ordinary people know about these drugs, some patients are too lazy to go to the hospital when they are first diagnosed with diabetes and buy metformin at the pharmacy themselves.
Doctor Liu: “………………”
Doctor Liu sighed. The people in the endocrinology department are really very Buddhist.
I even found excuses for myself.
But another attending physician in Dr. Liu's office couldn't stand it anymore. He stuck his head out with his phone in hand, glanced at Dr. Zhu, and said excitedly: "Dr. Zhu, as one of the departments that is oppressed by the general internal medicine department... let's add a friend group? This was set up by the intern from the urology department next door!"
Doctor Zhu: “………………”
Doctor Liu: “……???”
No, is it an honor to have someone snatch your patient away? Why do we need to form a friend group? Is it just to monitor the general internal medicine clinic next door all the time?
Doctor Liu and Doctor Zhu both looked at each other strangely.
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you thinking about?"
The attending physician of the Department of Gastroenterology was embarrassed. "This is just a group for making complaints and making friends. It also helps the departments get closer. Who made us share a common 'enemy department'?"
Doctor Zhu: “…………”
Doctor Liu: “…………”
And Su Tang, who had just sent the kids to make a phone call and walked out of the clinic: “………………”
Su Tang opened her mouth, but was blocked from saying a word.
Not really, really not!
She currently sees about 50 to 60 patients a day. The attending physicians in other departments normally see about the same number of patients a day.
She is a general internal medicine doctor, a jack of all trades internal medicine department...
Doesn't she treat any patient who comes to her? How can there be any other choice?
Even if these 60 patients were really transferred from other departments, the average number per doctor in the internal medicine department is less than one. How can it be so exaggerated?
Su Tang felt aggrieved and sullen.
What's going on with these two gastroenterologists?
A provocative doctor Pan, who had specially come to the door of their office to show off, with a provocative and weird expression that looked like he deserved a beating.
Another one was looking for other departments to hold a gathering and build closer relations with the sister departments, but he had to use their general internal medicine department as a shield and step on them. This was really too much.
Su Tang: “Ah…”
Su Tang frowned. It was probably because the status of their general internal medicine department in the Sixth Hospital was too low that they were bullied like this.
She must work hard and strive to bring glory to general internal medicine.
…………
The parents of several children naturally want their children to grow taller, especially those whose parents' height is below the national average, who are even more eager to try.
But no matter which family it was, they all had doubts about Su Tang's acupuncture and medicinal diet program for growing taller. Fortunately, the Sixth Hospital, as a top-level hospital, had a strong reputation, and several families expressed their willingness to let their children give it a try.
After all, I'm here now, and my child's school happens to be next to the Sixth Hospital, so I might as well give it a try.
In response to this, Pan Yuhao, who works in the same office, drooled with envy.
If Pan Yuhao hadn't been self-aware and knew he was not good at treating children's growth and development, he would have wanted to rush over and yell to all the parents, "Look at me, look at me, look at me!"
Acupuncture, medicated diet and sugar candy are naturally one-stop services for several children.
However, the conditions of these children were better than Feng Yu. Unlike Feng Yu, they did not have growth and development abnormalities. Therefore, these children did not have the same problem after the first acupuncture treatment as Feng Yu, who grew one centimeter taller with each acupuncture treatment.
But several children felt the numbness, swelling and warmth in their bones after acupuncture.
Everyone opened their eyes wide and exclaimed in amazement!
After the acupuncture treatment was completed and the prescriptions were given, several children said they would come again tomorrow. They chatted and laughed, leaving their parents behind, and happily talked about their feelings after the acupuncture.
The little chirping face immediately attracted the attention of many outpatients.
Lan Haicui also looked at Su Tang with envy and admiration.
…………
Since Su Tang came to the General Internal Medicine Department, the number of patients seen in the entire department has skyrocketed.
Especially Su Tang himself, his daily number of patients is almost on par with that of the guest director. Even if the others are given some meat soup, their daily number of patients can be increased from three to five to more than ten to twenty, which is truly cause for celebration.
Even the nurses in the inpatient department are busier than usual these days.
The number of inpatients in the department reached an unprecedented 18, directly exceeding the highest number of general internal medicine patients in the past two years.
There are too many patients in other departments, and the nurses always hope that there will be fewer patients so that they can have some more ease.
The situation is just the opposite for general internal medicine practitioners, from doctors to nurses.
Although it is a bit immoral, the satisfaction of being needed by others filled their hearts, and everyone couldn't help but smile more and more. Even the head nurse who usually likes to have a stern face always has a smile on her face recently.
…………
On the sixth day after Xie Fu and Wu Zhongwei were admitted to the hospital, their speech disorders and slurred speech caused by paralysis due to stroke had basically improved, and they could even walk with the help of others.
Mother Xie and Mrs. Wu were almost overjoyed to the point of crying, especially Mother Xie.
Mr. Xie had suffered a stroke and was paralyzed for more than two years. At the beginning, Mr. Xie could still walk a few steps with the help of a cane because of half of his paralysis. But in the later period, not to mention having a nurse or bodyguard accompany him to walk outside, he even had less and less time to open his eyes. Every day he was either lying there sleeping or on the way to sleep...
Xie's mother worried every day whether her husband would die in his sleep one day.
But these days, with Dr. Su's acupuncture, prescriptions, medicated diet and other treatments, Xie's mother would find that her husband was better almost every day when she woke up.
First, her husband who was always dozing off was no longer sleepy. Then, he was able to chat with her clearly. Even though his speech was still a little unclear, it was much better than ten days ago.
then……
The paralyzed half of the body gradually began to regain strength and was able to raise its arms and make fists.
In the past two days, my husband even started using his paralyzed arm to hold a spoon to eat.
Even though the spoon in her hand was still shaking like a Parkinson's patient, Xie's mother was already very satisfied!
It only took 6 days to achieve such results. As long as my husband can stay in the hospital for a month or two and persist in the treatment, Xie's mother believes that his body will be able to fully recover!
That afternoon, after Su Tang gave an injection to Xie's father, she gave the nurse a few instructions and was about to leave, but was stopped on the spot by Xie's mother and Xie Zhuokai.
"?"
Su Tang was slightly stunned and a little confused. She thought that Xie Jia didn't understand something and wanted to ask her.
Unexpectedly, the mother and son opposite handed her a check.
Su Tang looked down and was shocked by the string of zeros on the check.
Su Tang hesitated: "What are you two doing...?"
"Doctor Su, according to our previous agreement with the Sixth Hospital, I will donate 20 million to the hospital, of which 10 million will be directly given to the department treating my father."
Xie Zhuokai smiled gently: "During this period, my father's treatment effect has been very good. My mother and I have seen it... My father himself is also very satisfied. So we took out half of this donation in advance to buy the necessary medical equipment for the department."
"Logically, we should deposit this money into the Sixth Hospital's account first, and then the hospital should transfer it to the department. But my family and I are so happy, so we want to personally give this donation to Dr. Su to express our gratitude." Xie Zhuokai stuffed a check for 10 million yuan that he had already filled out into Su Tang's hand.
Seeing Su Tang's tangled face, Xie's mother smiled more sincerely, "Don't worry, Doctor Su. We have already communicated with the dean this morning. The 10 million donation will be given to the general internal medicine department as originally planned. The remaining donation will be transferred to the hospital account when we leave. So the hospital only needs to call and let us know after the department receives the account. Doctor Su, don't worry about anything else."
Xie's mother had a gentle smile and spoke in a nonchalant tone, which made Su Tang unable to help but subconsciously look at Xie's mother twice more.
In fact, it was just as Mrs. Xie said, the donation process was very simple.
Normally, whether it is a hospital or a school, when a large donation comes in, at least the publicity department should take a photo of the Xie family and the dean together, not to mention a ribbon-cutting ceremony. This is what the publicity department of the Sixth Hospital originally planned to do.
However, Xie's mother was more thoughtful. The purpose of their family's donation was to allow the doctors in the hospital to treat her husband well and to thank the doctors for their treatment.
But if Dr. Su is stressed out and becomes mentally exhausted because of the people in the hospital's publicity department, wouldn't that be a loss instead of a gain?
It would be better to simply write a check, make the other party happy, and then use the other party's hands to pass the money to General Internal Medicine.
In this way, Dr. Su will not have to be harassed by the Propaganda Department, reporters, etc., and can use the donation to establish her reputation in General Nephrology and make other people in the department feel good about her.
Even if it's the same donation of 10 million.
There may not be much difference for ordinary medical staff between the hospital transferring the money to the general internal medicine department and the general internal medicine department's own doctors taking the check back to the department, but there is a big difference for the people who take the check back to the department.
The former will only let people in the department know about this incident, remembering the rights of the hospital's finance department and the good of the hospital. At most, someone will sigh that Su Tang is lucky to have cured a rich man.
But the latter, once Su Tang handed the check to the department director in front of everyone in the department.
Then it will not only make everyone in the department remember Su Tang quickly, but her abilities, her kindness, and her good friendship with the Xie family will also be remembered.
It is definitely a win-win situation!
Su Tang looked at Xie's mother, then at Xie Zhuokai, and naturally understood what they were thinking. She secretly sighed in her heart that he was worthy of being the boss of a big company. He really thought more about everything than an ordinary person like her.
Su Tang smiled and nodded, "Thank you all for your donation. Our department will definitely make good use of it."
I took the check and signed the agreement to accept the donation in duplicate.
Su Tang found the guest manager who had just returned from outside and told him about the Xie family's donation.
Pan Yuhao, Xiong Wei and others who were following behind Mr. Ke couldn't help but widen their eyes.
Oh shit!
Shouldn't the donation be deposited into the hospital's account after the Xie family is cured and leaves the hospital?
The other party actually gave me a cash check directly, skipping the company account? !
Is this the charm of a famous doctor? !
Even though everyone knew that this donation could only be used for purchases in the general internal medicine department and could not be used as salary bonuses for department staff, everyone was still excited to the point of blushing.
Ke Zhangqiu took the donation documents and check, and said to everyone present with a smile: "Go and inform those in the department who have not yet finished work and those who are on vacation today, and ask them to come to the department if they can. Let's have a small meeting this afternoon. After get off work, I will treat everyone to a private meal to celebrate our department's first private donation from a patient."
"Wow!!! Long live the Director! Doctor Su is awesome!!!"
"Dr. Su, you are so amazing! Without you, our department would not have received this donation!"
Knowing that the department had received a large donation, the director invited everyone to a private dinner. Even a few medical staff members who were on vacation at home rushed to the department for the meeting without any complaints. A group of people were laughing and talking happily, if it weren't for the hospital regulations that prohibit disturbing patients.
At this time, maybe someone would like to shout in the department, "Our general internal medicine department is about to rise!"
…………
The other side of the Pacific.
Wei Yan lay on the hospital bed with a frown on his face, looking serious, not at all as relaxed as he had just been when he got on the plane.
I am abroad for three days.
His legs had obviously improved from their previous warm state to now being ice cold.
It was as if a plane trip had completely reversed the improvement in the situation.
It feels like a person who was originally basking in the sun outside, being dragged little by little from the sun into the shadow, and then dragged deep into the seabed...
Wei Yan lowered his eyes and frowned.
In fact, he didn't feel much on the first day on the plane, and his legs were in good condition.
But that evening, while resting in the hospital, Wei Yan began to feel his feet getting colder, and he thought it was a sign of the coming of autumn.
After all, the longitude and latitude of the hospital where Dr. David works are different from those of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange.
But by the second day, the coldness in my feet had spread to my calves...
On the 3rd day, the heat in my thighs completely disappeared...
His legs had returned to their original state of numbness, tingling and coldness, and he would be attacked by this cool feeling every night when he went to sleep.
Wei Yan didn't understand why this happened. He thought about it countless times. Was it because flying was too tiring, or was there some other reason?
But no matter what, this operation cannot be performed.
Wei Yan frowned, and his deep gaze looked through the glass window of the ward at the distant grass, ignoring the voices of other people in the room.
Secretary Zhao stood beside the bed, also pretending not to hear the noise in the room.
In the room, the Wei family's private team and Dr. David's team faced each other with unfriendly tones.
"Dr. Wei's condition is much worse than when he first arrived. We now believe that the success rate of Dr. Wei's surgery is probably much lower than the 60% originally calculated."
The person in charge of the Wei family's private medical team held Wei Yan's test results and frowned, "Doctor, given Mr. Wei's current condition, I'm afraid we can't agree to your surgery plan. Unless you can come up with a more powerful drug than the previous special medicine, or other treatment plans that can improve Mr. Wei's condition."
"I said, Mr. Wei's feelings have changed, but it doesn't mean that his physical condition has deteriorated. Mr. Wei has taken good care of himself in the past two years, and the probability of success of the operation is very high." David frowned: "Mr. Wei may just not be able to adapt to the climate change in this city. It is hot during the day and cold at night here, which is completely different from Shenzhen. So I suggest that the operation can be delayed for a few days, but in Mr. Wei's case, if he doesn't have the operation, Mr. Wei has no chance of recovery at all!"
"You can't deny the success rate of the surgery just because of this small change in feeling."
"In terms of surgery, our medical team is indeed not as good as the doctor's, but as a professional rehabilitation team, we have always been with Mr. Wei. Mr. Wei is now in a stage of regression, which is worse than before he went abroad. This shows that the doctor's plan is not suitable for Mr. Wei at all... Moreover, we have also sent Mr. Wei's information to other experts and famous doctors, and they all said that surgery is not appropriate now."
A group of people were standing in the room arguing back and forth, and Wei Yan's expression did not change at all. Secretary Zhao looked at Wei Yan with some concern: "Mr. Wei, do you think this operation... is it necessary to continue?"
Although Secretary Zhao does not know medicine, judging from the frequency with which Director Wei has woken up every night in the past two days, his condition seems to be much worse than when he first went abroad, and he does not seem to be suitable for surgery.
Wei Yan looked up at Secretary Zhao, then at the two teams still arguing in the room, "Tell them to wait for the surgery. If the condition of his legs still doesn't improve in two days, we will prepare to return home."
Wei Yan believed in his intuition more than all kinds of cold electronic data, just like when he used his intuition to avoid the most fatal blow.
Secretary Zhao fulfilled his duty and translated Wei Yan's words into English and passed them on to the two teams.
Secretary Zhao heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the leaders of both teams leaving the ward with their assistants.
But Secretary Zhao always hoped that a miracle would happen. He hoped that in two days, Director Wei's body would recover to its previous state, so that their trip abroad would not be in vain and Director Wei's illness could be cured.
But……
Two days later...
Wei Yan found that the warmth at the base of his thighs had slowly disappeared in the past two days. Every day he only felt a chill in his lower body and could not feel any heat at all. The chill that penetrated deep into his bones penetrated into every bone of his thighs. Wei Yan reached out and touched his legs and immediately gave up the idea of having surgery.
The three top international doctors invited by the headhunting team also shook their heads and said that Wei Yan's current condition was not suitable for surgery.
"I recommend conservative treatment to Mr. Wei rather than surgery."
"This surgical option is too risky and is not suitable for Mr. Wei's status. If the operation fails, it may lead to more serious consequences."
"If it was a week ago, I might have recommended surgery, but now... I'm sorry, I think conservative treatment is more suitable for Mr. Wei."
Three internationally renowned doctors who had read Wei Yan's medical records all gave the same answer.
Even Dr. David's team frowned after reading Wei Yan's recent examination report. They didn't understand what went wrong. The situation in China was clearly good before, and all indicators were moving in a good direction.
David's team was scratching their heads, and the others didn't understand what the problem was.
The surgery was cancelled and it became a done deal.
It was not until the next day, after the surgery was cancelled, that Wei Yan returned home with his private medical team and drank the medicinal food prepared by the chef again in the evening...
Wei Yan once again felt the warmth enveloping his cold legs...
