Chapter 86 Pu Nei Ke’s damn desire to win!
"Oh, you mean that patient? I know him... When I was treating him in the general internal medicine department, my wife and I had a good relationship with each other's family and we chatted together every day."
When Director Wu heard Deputy Director Luo talking about Xie's father, he immediately perked up and continued, "Although Dr. Su is young, he is very good at treating the sequelae of stroke paralysis. The patient that Old Luo mentioned was discharged from the hospital at the same time as me a few days ago. His condition was more serious than mine before, but now he can walk around freely with a cane, just like me."
When talking about paralysis caused by stroke, Director Wu's mood became better. Even the smile on his face became more sincere than before, and the tone of his voice also rose slightly involuntarily.
The elderly internal medicine doctors who were familiar with Director Wu's habits in the past couldn't help but look at him twice more subconsciously and listen carefully to every word he said.
Even though Director Wu had been away from the department for more than half a year after suffering a stroke and becoming paralyzed.
But in fact, Director Wu's prestige in geriatric internal medicine is still very strong.
After all, Director Wang was transferred from another department and has been the department director for less than a year. Therefore, many medical staff in the department trust Director Wu much more than Director Wang.
"To be honest, it was only after I went to the general internal medicine department that I found out... that Chinese medicine acupuncture is so effective in treating stroke paralysis. I should have gone to the Chinese medicine hospital in the neighboring province to ask for help when I first got sick." Director Wu sighed with emotion. If he had gone to a Chinese medicine hospital for treatment earlier, perhaps he would have recovered from the sequelae of stroke paralysis long ago.
Like high paralysis and lung cancer, the sequelae of stroke paralysis also become worse over time, with the patient's hope of recovery becoming lower and the sequelae symptoms becoming more severe, the treatment effect becoming worse and the treatment becoming more difficult.
If there is no substantial change in doctors' medical skills and research institutions have not developed a specific drug for the disease, then the sooner the patient is treated, the better.
Director Wu thought about this, and his consciousness followed his body and fell on the back of his foot. After all, the paralyzed half of his body was not as good as the normal side. When walking with both legs at the same time, others can still clearly notice that the paralyzed side is a bit sloping when walking.
Director Wu sighed, but then cheered up and smiled at everyone, "However, I am very happy that I have recovered to this level. If you are interested, you can also read some Chinese medicine books. Going to the Chinese medicine department or the next province to study Chinese medicine is a good choice."
"Anyway, our country is not like other neighboring countries where you can only choose Western medicine or Chinese medicine. You can't take the two exams and use them at the same time."
Director Wu patted Lu Chao, who was closest to him, and said, "Lu Chao, you can study hard when you have time. Then ask Director Xiao from the TCM department next door to guarantee you, and go get a TCM license..."
"Speaking of which, besides coming to the hospital to see you all today, I also wanted to talk about Chinese medicine..."
"I have been hospitalized in our department, the Department of Neurology and the Department of Neurosurgery, for a period of time before, but you all know how effective those conventional treatments are... Three months ago, everyone went to the Department of Neurology to visit me with fruit."
"I really couldn't even say anything to everyone at that time. My tongue was in my mouth, but they just wouldn't listen to me."
Director Wu seemed to be recalling the days half a year ago, and sighed: "At that time, I was clearly conscious and able to think, but I couldn't express myself completely and make my body move according to my thoughts."
"That day, I almost had a second stroke, and my hair turned a lot greyer!"
"But look at me now..."
Director Wu lowered his head and touched the black hair that had grown back under the white hair on his head. "A lot of the white hair has turned into black hair."
"When I was in the hospital, my biggest wish was to make our geriatric department a star department with core technology in the hospital, or a provincial key department evaluated by the Provincial Health Bureau."
Director Wu looked serious and said in a serious tone: So although I am not the director of the geriatric department now, Director Wang is the leader...but I always think that we geriatricians should also study hard! "
Director Wu: "If you don't want to be left behind by the times, you have to keep up with the changes of the times and eagerly learn every advanced technology... This is also the reason why our hospital requires many attending physicians and deputy chief physicians to go abroad for advanced studies every year. But now there is a technology right in front of us. If we don't let him understand it and learn it thoroughly... Isn't it a bit unfair to ourselves?!"
Director Wu said: "This real example is right in front of everyone. If you want to make your career last longer and go further, so that other patients and their families can trust us more, and if you are interested in Chinese medicine, you can seize the opportunity to learn it well. Then I will find the hospital leaders and let everyone follow me to study!"
"Don't look at Dr. Su's young age, she is really capable. This month, she has published papers in three provincial medical journals. You can take a good look at them!" Director Wu said sincerely.
In fact, Director Wu himself was a little anxious. If he were still the director of the geriatric department, he could mobilize a few doctors who specialized in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular research and neurological research to add a new task.
But the problem is that he is no longer the department director, so it seems like he is overstepping his authority if he does this.
But Wu Zhongwei was anxious!
Before the stroke, he was thinking about geriatric internal medicine, and after the stroke, he was still thinking about geriatric internal medicine. He hoped that his geriatric internal medicine department could gain a foothold in the Shenzhen Stock Exchange!
After the stroke, his mind wasn't working as fast as before, and Director Wu had been the director of the geriatric medicine department for more than a decade.
As soon as he opened his mouth, Wu Zhongwei said everything he wanted to say.
Director Wu was right. At first, Director Wang's expression was relatively good, but as Director Wu talked more and more, hoping that department staff who were interested would seize the opportunity to learn Chinese medicine, his expression involuntarily darkened, and he cursed in his heart and his eyes were tired.
This kind of department that is taken over halfway is troublesome. It's one thing that the old hands in the department don't obey the management, and other department heads also treat him as a new rookie and deal with him perfunctorily. Even this retired one wants to interfere, which shows that they don't regard him as the department head at all!
Couldn't you have told him about this in advance? Why did you have to slap him in the face in public?
However, no matter how stiff the smile on Director Wang's face was, many doctors listened to Wu Zhongwei's words, and all of them showed a thoughtful expression.
Lu Chao was truly dumbfounded, his face was filled with confusion and his eyes were staring blankly.
He was just in the elevator waiting area on the first floor when he heard a doctor from the surgical building next door talking about studying Chinese medicine. He felt that the other person was a psychopath.
Unexpectedly, later on, his tutor and director also told him to give him time to study Chinese medicine properly.
The reason why geriatric internal medicine is called geriatric internal medicine.
The main reason is that elderly people usually have more than one disease, but many diseases at the same time. Geriatric medicine can help patients reduce the number of visits to the hospital and treat multiple problems at one time.
It is somewhat similar to today's general internal medicine, but slightly more targeted than general internal medicine.
Seeing Director Wu's eyes fixed on him, Lu Chao gritted his teeth and nodded immediately, "Director is right. I will study hard and try to keep up with the times!"
His mentor is so good, how could he possibly harm him?
Isn’t it just Chinese medicine? He learned it!
…………
Su Tang had no idea that because of her, not only did the general internists pick up Chinese medicine books and start learning, but even the geriatric internist next door also started learning Chinese medicine.
For this reason, I worked as a courier for Dangdang Academy and ran to the hospital every day to deliver Chinese medicine books to people, which made the couriers sigh with regret.
As expected of a big hospital, the doctors there just love to learn. They bought so many books one by one, and every time we delivered a lot of books, it was always a large pile of books.
It’s reassuring to come to such a hospital for treatment!
At this time, Su Tang focused all his energy on Wang Xiaomei, and over the past month, he treated her seriously every day.
Wang Xiaomei's body changed at a speed visible to the naked eye. She was no longer as lifeless as before. The smile on Wang Yunyun's face became brighter as her mother's health improved.
Tan Xin and Su Tang agreed on a time, and after getting Wang Xiaomei's consent, Su Tang gave Wang Xiaomei acupuncture while Tan Xin took the photos.
As the silver needles inserted themselves into her body, Wang Xiaomei felt a stronger and stronger sense of warm currents. She could not help but move her toes, which she had completely lost control of. The flexion and extension of her toes seemed simple, but Tan Xin saw it all carefully and recorded it on his cell phone.
Knowing that Director Tang wanted to watch the video, Su Tang was generous and explained in detail the acupuncture points and the treatment methods based on syndrome differentiation: "In traditional Chinese medicine, traumatic paralysis and spinal cord damage are called qi stagnation and blood stasis, and meridian obstruction. Ms. Wang had a car accident before, which caused her spinal cord to be severely torn."
"So the role of acupuncture and medicine is to replenish the essence and marrow, activate blood circulation, remove blood stasis and dredge the meridians... So I chose the Mingmen point and the Jizhong point for acupuncture, and then used the Danhuo heat therapy supplemented by medicine to stimulate Ms. Wang's body functions and promote recovery."
Since Wang Xiaomei had been seriously injured before, her face was pale and bloodless, indicating that she was insufficient in Qi and blood. Therefore, Su Tang also used a lot of prescriptions to strengthen her body and replenish her vital energy during this period of time to assist her.
Tan Xin has been studying traditional Chinese medicine in the department these days, and has gained some understanding of what Su Tang said about qi stagnation, blood stasis, and blocked meridians.
However, it is precisely because of this understanding that I feel that Dr. Su’s medical skills are truly amazing.
Don’t underestimate the meaning of “replenishing essence and replenishing marrow”, as it is only four words, there are not many doctors who can really do it!
Otherwise, Wang Xiaomei would not have been so desperate when she knew that she was paralyzed from the waist down.
"Doctor Su, can you tell me in detail about this method of replenishing essence and marrow?" After filming the entire acupuncture and the video of Wang Xiaomei's toes moving, Tan Xin took back the phone with satisfaction and put it in the pocket of his white coat.
As a student who grew up without a teacher, Tan Xin has been filled with questions these days.
Su Tang smiled and looked at Tan Xin and said, "Okay, if Dr. Tan doesn't mind, I'll tell you..."
"As the saying goes, Qi is the commander of blood. If Qi is blocked, blood will accumulate and tendons will naturally not function smoothly. Bones produce marrow, marrow produces essence, and essence turns into blood. In other words, only when the body is full of blood and Qi can the cycle turn around and blood produces essence, essence condenses into marrow, and marrow becomes bones... This does not mean that the spinal cord turns into bones, but only that..." Su Tang couldn't stop talking about Chinese medicine every time.
It was as if I had returned to the scene in my previous life when I was old and taught my younger apprentices every day.
If someone who doesn't understand Chinese medicine heard what Su Tang said, he would naturally frown and see mosquito coils everywhere.
However, Tan Xin studied sincerely every day during this period. As long as there was no surgery in the department, after finishing his work, Tan Xin would study a Chinese medicine book carefully every day.
So when Su Tang explained it to him, Tan Xin's eyes suddenly lit up, as if a window had opened wide before his eyes.
"Doctor Su, what you are talking about is what Chinese medicine often calls treating the symptoms while seeking the root cause, right?"
Tan Xin's eyes sparkled, and he said with some joy: "Ms. Wang's high-level paralysis was ultimately caused by the car accident... The car accident caused Ms. Wang's body to be severely injured, and the invasion of external evils caused insufficient blood and qi, and weak yang... Therefore, the treatment of spinal cord tear is not so urgent. The most urgent thing should be to replenish the vital energy, consolidate the foundation, and replenish the patient's blood and qi, and replenish the yang energy."
"Only when the body is healthy, the blood and qi are abundant, and the yang energy is replenished... can the treatment of spinal cord tear be more effective!" Tan Xin murmured softly, his eyes becoming brighter and brighter. This time, there was no need for Su Tang to say anything more, he completed Wang Xiaomei's idea process of treatment.
Su Tang smiled and guided the other party like a teacher: "You are right. Chinese medicine focuses on treating the symptoms and the root cause... If the symptoms are treated but not the root cause, even if Ms. Wang can stand up in the future, her condition will get worse over time."
"So a lot of times, Chinese medicine emphasizes food supplements... and in Western medicine, it means that you should go home and eat something delicious and take in more protein, so that your body can have resistance and recover faster..."
“In fact, the essence of these two is the same...but Chinese medicine is more particular and mixes some suitable herbs into the recipe, which can better stimulate the body's ability and help recovery.”
Su Tang's voice is gentle, like the sound of a bird in the woods, clear and soft.
Even though Wang Yunyun and Wang Xiaomei didn't understand what Su Tang said about qi stasis and blood stasis, weak yang, and strengthening the foundation and nourishing the vital energy.
But I can still extract the information I want from Su Tang's words and know what to do to make my body better.
Wang Yunyun was thinking that she must tell her mother to eat more medicinal food and nutritious food in the next period of time, so that she could get better faster. But she saw two heads suddenly appeared at the door of the room that was originally empty and open. The owners of the two black heads had resentful eyes and were leaning against the door frame, like two stone statues looking at their teachers.
Wang Yunyun: “???”
Wang Xiaomei: “……???”
What's going on with Dr. Pan and Dr. Ma?
It was quite scary to appear at the door of their ward out of the blue.
Su Tang and Tan Xin were both very capable of teaching and learning, and for a moment they did not pay much attention to the movements at the door of the ward. Su Tang felt as if there were two balls of fire burning at the back of her head, and she could not help but shook her head subconsciously and turned to look behind her.
Su Tang: “…………”
"Ahem..." Su Tang was almost choked to death by her saliva. She hesitated, "Doctor Pan, Doctor Ma, why are you back? Weren't you resting in the outpatient clinic before?"
In the general internal medicine clinic, everyone has more than an hour of lunch break at noon to eat, drink water and take a nap.
However, in order to save time, most doctors will not go back to the inpatient department, but choose to lie on the examination table.
After all, the treatment table is so long that the patient treatment area only occupies a small area, and the other large area is the doctor's private space. No one will feel uncomfortable lying down at noon. Even the most particular doctors will try their best to reduce wasted time.
Especially in this hot summer, running from an air-conditioned room to the outdoors is uncomfortable, let alone a journey of five or six minutes, even a journey of one or two minutes would be uncomfortable.
Not to mention the big bosses like Pan Yuhao and Ma Jun who are not very particular. Su Tang has been working with these two in the outpatient clinic for several months, but this is the first time she has seen these two people specially running back to the inpatient department at noon.
After being discovered by Su Tang, Pan Yuhao and Ma Jun no longer hid their true intentions. When they entered the room, they stared at Tan Xin closely, and the vicious flames in their eyes seemed to be about to ignite Tan Xin.
But Pan Yuhao pretended not to care and said lightly, "Oh... we both felt a little stiff from lying on the clinic table, so we went back to the department to take a nap during lunch break."
Su Tang: “……???”
Tan Xin: “…………”
I don't believe you! You looked like you wanted to burn me to death, and you even dared to say you were just back for lunch?
Thoughts were spinning in his mind, and Tan Xin knew what was going on without having to guess.
It must be this group of general internal medicine doctors who discovered how great Dr. Su is and wanted to learn Chinese medicine from him, but they were afraid that Dr. Su would be snatched away by people from other departments!
Tan Xin sighed and shook his head: "Ah... Doctor Pan, this person... wouldn't it be better if he was less tricky and more sincere?"
Tsk! This damned General Internal Medicine doctor has a strong desire to win!
Can't we just study Chinese medicine together? Isn't it a waste of time to compete with each other?
Su Tang: “…………”
Su Tang finally understood why Pan Yuhao and Ma Jun looked so resentful just now.
Su Tang's face was filled with fatigue. She turned her head slightly and looked at the sky behind the window glass. She looked at the sky and the earth but not at the two people.
ah!
What's going on with Dr. Pan and Dr. Ma?
They said that other doctors are here to join their big family of traditional Chinese medicine!
I'm not here to separate them from Chinese medicine~
This is what it was like when I met Dr. Xiong, and this is another thing when I met Dr. Tan.
Dr. Pan and Dr. Ma, you must have confidence in your studies!
Su Tang was heartbroken: How can I learn Chinese medicine well without confidence? As a future Chinese medicine practitioner, I cannot be so incapable of withstanding stress!
Besides, her goal is to promote Chinese medicine and restore its prestige, not just to have two apprentices who study Chinese medicine.
………………
Tan Xin brought the video back to the neurosurgery department and went to see Director Tang. Su Tang, facing the resentful gazes of Pan Yuhao and Ma Jun, pretended that she saw nothing and discussed with Wang Xiaomei about the other party taking a leave of absence to take care of his mother this semester.
"Don't worry, Doctor Su. The foundation and medical insurance will help my mother pay for the medical expenses. Our family only needs to ensure daily expenses... I have asked my teacher for a year's leave, and next fall, I will graduate with my younger classmates." Wang Yunyun explained with a smile.
Since coming to the General Internal Medicine Department, my mother's mood has visibly relaxed, and Wang Yunyun has naturally been getting better and better as well.
However, since it is a high paralysis and is so serious, the recovery time will naturally be longer.
Wang Xiaomei is ready for a long battle.
According to my mother's current recovery, there are only two possible outcomes by this time next year - one is that my mother is well and can take care of herself, so I can go to school in the province next door without any worries; the other is that my mother has regained consciousness in her lower body and can control her bowel movements and physical condition, but she still cannot get out of bed and walk on her own to solve daily life problems...
If it is the former, it is naturally the best for her.
If it is the latter, then it is already very good. She can bring her mother to school, apply for a separate dormitory in the school, go back to the dormitory to take care of her mother after class, and eat together in the cafeteria during the day.
But no matter what, she and her mother will definitely get better and better!
Su Tang looked at Wang Yunyun carefully and saw that she did not look troubled at all. So he smiled and patted Wang Yunyun on the shoulder and said, "That's good. Your mother is recovering very quickly now. By this time next year, she may be able to take care of herself at home. You can also go back to school and study with peace of mind..."
Although Su Tang said that she couldn't guarantee 100% that Wang Xiaomei would be able to recover to the point where she could take care of herself completely, she still had 95% confidence after watching Wang Xiaomei's recovery speed.
Even if Wang Xiaomei is still unable to take care of herself completely by this time next year, she should be able to walk and wash herself.
Simply find a suitable nanny to meet each other's life needs.
When Su Tang said this, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows slightly raised, and her whole body exuded confidence.
"Really? That's great!" Wang Yunyun's smile became even brighter.
During these days in the hospital, she got to know Dr. Su and got used to his way of speaking.
Generally speaking, when Dr. Su says "maybe it will get better", it means it will definitely get better!
Fangirls are so blind!
For a moment, the whole room was filled with harmony, except for the resentful Pan Yuhao and Ma Jun.
Even the patient who was staying in the bed next to Wang Xiaomei and her family were infected by the atmosphere and chatted with Wang Xiaomei and Wang Yunyun with smiles on their faces.
………………
The fact that Su Tang published a paper in a provincial medical journal had a much greater impact than Su Tang himself had imagined.
Because the Sixth Hospital is different from other hospitals, every quarter the Sixth Hospital will post the number of papers published by the hospital's medical staff that quarter, as well as the list, on the bulletin board next to the administrative building. One purpose is to display the results, and the second is to subconsciously encourage people in other departments to actively and nervously tell others that they must never be salted fish again, look at other departments, look at the papers published by others!
This list of papers will be divided into international core sections, domestic core sections, and provincial core sections. As for municipal and other miscellaneous medical journals that are not considered core, they will be placed separately in another section - the section name is called "Others".
Except for some people who occasionally cannot finish their papers and have no choice, basically no one in the hospital likes the last section.
Many people even privately gave this section a name - "Salted Fish".
Inside, a group of people are most concerned about the international and domestic sections of the block...
But this time, someone almost started a quarrel over the provincial section!
The reason was simply because someone saw Su Tang's thesis. None of the four provincial-level papers was not related to traditional Chinese medicine. The Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine thought that the Academic Affairs Department must have registered the wrong name, department or article title. Their department did not have so many papers this quarter. Either they found someone to write for them, and the ghostwriter was a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner.
But these words happened to be heard by several surgeons. In recent days, several surgeons who often followed the heads of various departments to perform large-scale operations all knew Su Tang's name.
How dare anyone question this talented person who can use acupuncture to stop bleeding and has dramatically reduced the probability of major bleeding during surgeries in several of his departments?
The laughter of a few people was too loud and happened to be heard by the people from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department, so the two sides immediately started arguing.
