When the health department makes a surprise inspection, they are definitely there with a mission.
Could it be that they've come to inspect the hospital's medical reform issues?
Feng Xuegong quickly connected the issue to the reform of the college and felt that he should tell his father about it to avoid any unpleasantness.
Inside the meeting room.
Su Zhengnan glanced around at everyone, and waited until everyone quieted down.
He then continued, "The health department is coming to inspect our hospital. I believe no one wants anything to happen at this critical juncture, right?"
"Especially since I just took over as the head of our department."
"Therefore, in the next few days, I will focus my work on the research of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, and try to improve the relevant data and information on this topic in the next few days."
Upon hearing Su Zhengnan say this...
Niu Guangliang couldn't help but raise his hand and interject, "Director Su, I'm afraid a few days isn't enough time, is it?"
Su Zhengnan glanced at him and smiled slightly:
“I think it’s not too late. You’ve already done a lot of research on the treatment of cardiovascular diseases with traditional Chinese medicine. It’s just that your dialectical thinking went astray at the last crucial point.”
"I'm sure you've seen the information I just compiled, Dr. Niu. Actually, as long as we correct that erroneous dialectical thinking, I think this project can be completed quite quickly."
Upon hearing this, Niu Guangliang pondered for a moment and said, "Alright, if Director Su is confident, I am willing to fully cooperate with your work."
"Then I'll have to trouble Dr. Niu, and all my colleagues. I hope everyone can cooperate actively."
Su Zhengnan smiled and continued, "If we can complete this project within a few days, I believe we'll have something to show the health department when they conduct surprise inspections. This will also benefit our entire department."
Everyone naturally knows how beneficial completing a medical research project is for the entire department.
First, it can gain recognition from higher-ups; second, it can secure funding for subsequent research projects; and third, it can enhance one's qualifications in the medical field.
It can be said that everyone in the department can benefit from completing a medical research project.
Adding a bonus is definitely not a problem.
Therefore, everyone expressed their full support for Su Zhengnan's work, since no one would go against their own interests.
After the meeting, everyone quickly got back to their own tasks.
Feng Xuegong walked out of the conference room with Su Zhengnan and said, "Director Su, let's go, let's go do our ward rounds first!"
"Okay!"
Su Zhengnan nodded, and then followed Feng Xuegong toward the ward area.
The two arrived at the ward area on the third floor.
The nurse on duty at the nurses' station immediately notified several resident doctors and the attending physicians of the admitted patients, and then the group began to inspect the ward.
This was Su Zhengnan's first ward round, and also his first time becoming familiar with the ward round process in a large hospital's inpatient ward.
In fact, although the process of ward rounds in large hospitals may seem simple, it actually has many requirements.
First, the attending physician, resident physician, head nurse, and doctors and nurses who are interning here need to accompany them. Then, they need to check on the patients in each ward, ask questions, and conduct follow-up visits, etc.
With a creak!
Soon, Feng Xuegong pushed open the door to the first ward and went inside.
Su Zhengnan followed closely behind, with attending physician Lu Zhiyuan and resident physician Xue Aizhong among others filing in.
In the blink of an eye, the ward was filled with a group of medical staff wearing white coats.
Subsequently, a nurse went over to check the medical record hanging on the bed and confirmed that there were no errors in the recording of the patient's name, medical history, pre-hospital examinations, diagnosis, treatment, and medication.
Immediately afterwards, the attending physician, Lu Zhiyuan, stepped forward and asked the patient:
"How are you feeling after taking the medication yesterday, Ms. Zhang? Do you experience any discomfort?"
As the other person approached to inquire about the patient's condition, resident physician Xue Aizhong whispered in Su Zhengnan's ear:
"Director Su, this patient's name is Zhang Yaqi. She is 21 years old and a national-level diver. She was injured during a training camp and received treatment from Western medicine, but her recovery was not good, so she was sent to the Traditional Chinese Medicine department for recuperation."
Turns out she's a national-level diver!
No wonder the person is so young and able to stay here for recuperation; otherwise, ordinary people wouldn't be able to get into this ward.
Su Zhengnan stood opposite Zhang Yaqi and observed her complexion. He noticed that her complexion was somewhat dull, and the pores on her face looked rather large, with several small, long spots on both sides of her cheeks.
This is clearly a manifestation of weak lung qi.
Su Zhengnan's master-level diagnostic skills were no joke; even without asking anything, he could still tell the cause of the patient's illness at a glance.
Across from her, Zhang Yaqi, sitting on the hospital bed, smiled slightly and greeted Lu Zhiyuan:
"Dr. Lu, are you doing your ward rounds?"
"Yes, ward rounds are underway!"
Lu Zhiyuan smiled and nodded, then pointed to Su Zhengnan standing behind him and introduced him:
"This is our new Director Su. I don't need to introduce Director Feng next to him; you should have met him before."
"Hey, your department got a new head of department? He looks pretty young!"
Zhang Yaqi smiled and waved at Su Zhengnan, appearing very cheerful, "Director Su looks quite handsome. I wonder if you have a girlfriend?"
Su Zhengnan: "..."
"Cough cough!"
Lu Zhiyuan coughed, speechless, and interrupted the other person:
"Ms. Zhang, we're doing our rounds. Could you please answer my question from earlier first?"
Zhang Yaqi pursed her lips and replied, "What's there to answer? I've been hospitalized here for over a month, and every time you come to check on me, you ask me the same question. Haven't I already answered it?"
“I’ve been taking the medicine you gave me for almost a month now, but I still feel a slight pain in my lungs whenever I breathe hard. It doesn’t seem to be working.”
With Zhang Yaqi's words.
Standing to the side, Lu Zhiyuan suddenly felt extremely embarrassed, not even noticing that the new director was standing right next to him!
If it were Director Rao from before, Lu Zhiyuan wouldn't have felt embarrassed.
Because Zhang Yaqi had these symptoms when she was transferred from the Western medicine department, and everyone had conducted a series of examinations on her, they naturally understood what was causing her lung pain and breathing problems.
But despite knowing this, Lu Zhiyuan tried several different prescriptions without success.
Even after the previous Director Rao consulted with the patient and prescribed a new formula, the effect was still not good.
Feng Xuegong immediately whispered an explanation in Su Zhengnan's ear, saying, "This patient's condition is rather special. Due to her work, she is often immersed in water, resulting in a high level of dampness in her body."
"When I was injured, it was said that I jumped from a 10-meter-high platform but did not do it properly, which caused me to land in the pool. A lot of water entered my chest cavity, so I have had this symptom ever since I was rescued."
"Several experienced traditional Chinese medicine doctors in our department have also treated her, but judging from the current situation, the effect of traditional Chinese medicine treatment does not seem to be very good."
Upon hearing Feng Xuegong say this...
Su Zhengnan nodded and said, "Have you considered using other methods to combine with the medicine? Judging from Miss Zhang's complexion, she should indeed have weak lung qi, but because of the heavy dampness in her body, simply taking Chinese medicine is not enough to quickly remove dampness and regulate qi."
As he spoke, Su Zhengnan walked to the bedside and said to Zhang Yaqi with a smile:
"Extend your hand, let me take your pulse."
"Okay, sure!"
Zhang Yaqi blinked and looked Su Zhengnan up and down, then smiled and stretched out her little hand.
Su Zhengnan reached out and placed his hand on her wrist, carefully feeling her pulse. Then he turned to Feng Xuegong and the others and said:
"Judging from the pulse, the patient does indeed have weak lung qi, but also has excessive dampness in the body, and symptoms include weak cough and wheezing, shortness of breath, pale tongue with white coating, and weak pulse..."
The Ling Shu Ben Shen states: "When lung qi is deficient, nasal congestion and shortness of breath occur; when lung qi is excessive, wheezing, chest fullness, and difficulty breathing occur."
"In this case, relying solely on traditional Chinese medicine for treatment is relatively slow to show results. Therefore, my suggestion is to combine it with acupuncture to stimulate acupoints and meridians, thereby achieving the effect of dispelling dampness and regulating qi."
As Su Zhengnan spoke, he pointed to several acupoints on Zhang Yaqi's body and said:
"For example, acupuncture points such as Tanzhong, Tiantu, and Zhongwan should be needled once a day for a week, which should bring about some improvement."
"As a supplement to acupuncture?"
Feng Xuegong and Lu Zhiyuan exchanged glances and said, "We've tried acupuncture as an adjunct therapy before, but the results weren't very good either."
"Um?"
Su Zhengnan raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "Let me see the prescription you wrote. Normally, if the prescription and acupuncture are correct, there shouldn't be any situation where it has no effect."
Lu Zhiyuan nodded and quickly handed over Zhang Yaqi's medical record.
Su Zhengnan flipped through the medical records in his hand and found that although the prescriptions they had given had the effect of removing dampness and regulating qi, they did not have the effect of moisturizing the lungs.
It's no wonder that the previous combination of acupuncture and purging was ineffective, given that only purging was done without tonifying.
After thinking for a moment, Su Zhengnan turned to Lu Zhiyuan and said:
"This prescription is not a big problem, but it neglects to moisten and clear the lungs while removing dampness and regulating qi. If it only drains without replenishing, the patient's lung recovery ability will be hindered, and the recovery will not be as fast."
At this point, Su Zhengnan took out a hard pen from his white coat and quickly modified the prescription.
Then, he smiled and said to Lu Zhiyuan:
"Make the medicine according to this prescription, and have Dr. Zhao from the acupuncture department come over to give Ms. Zhang acupuncture. I believe Ms. Zhang's condition will definitely improve within a week."
"Okay, Director Su, I'll arrange it right away."
Lu Zhiyuan glanced at the revised prescription by Su Zhengnan and couldn't help but show a look of shock on his face. For the first time, he felt that this young director seemed to actually have some ability.
Feng Xuegong also glanced at the prescription written by Su Zhengnan, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly:
"As expected of Elder Gu's last disciple, his dialectical thinking is superior to ours. It seems that the old man was right to have me follow his line of thought."
In a hospital, choosing the right team is also a very important thing.
Their grandfather chose the right team back then, working with Elder Gu to complete the development of the sugar pill, which is why he is in his current position.
If you don't follow the right person.
I'm afraid that his father, like other traditional Chinese medicine doctors, will remain unknown and unnoticed while working on the front lines, and will never be able to climb to his current position.
Lu Zhiyuan gave an instruction to one of the nurses on duty, and then everyone continued walking toward the next ward.
The third floor of the Traditional Chinese Medicine department has more than 80 wards, and ward rounds are conducted once a week.
There is also an inpatient building across the street, where patients are the most critically ill patients admitted to the hospital, and usually require joint consultations from several departments.
However, that area is not under Su Zhengnan's jurisdiction; he only needs to inspect the wards here.
As Feng Xuegong led Su Zhengnan toward the next ward, he explained:
"Our inpatient ward currently has 43 inpatients, most of whom are elderly people, as well as people like Zhang Yaqi who work in government agencies."
As they were talking, Feng Xuegong pushed open the door to the second ward and went inside.
Su Zhengnan followed closely behind, and as soon as he entered the ward, he saw an old man with a haggard face lying on the hospital bed.
The other person's face looked pale and their eyes were very tired, clearly showing signs of weakness!
The following steps are similar to those before.
The nurse checked the patient's medical records and confirmed that there were no errors in the recording of the patient's name, medical history, pre-hospital examinations, diagnosis, treatment, and medication.
Then, attending physician Lu Zhiyuan stepped forward to ask the patient how he had been feeling over the past two days, while resident physician Xue Aizhong supplemented the patient's information from the side.
Listening to their stories.
Su Zhengnan learns about the patient's condition from this, and then corrects mistakes or offers suggestions.
That's pretty much the procedure for the entire ward round.
However, to Feng Xuegong and the others' surprise, Su Zhengnan's medical skills seemed to far exceed their expectations. Almost every time he examined a patient, he was able to offer reasonable suggestions or correct the mistakes in their previous treatment.
