Novartis is indeed a foreign pharmaceutical company!
However, in Mr. Gu's view, as long as the initiative is in his own hands, cooperation is not impossible.
The key point is not that it is foreign capital, but how to leverage the power of foreign capital to serve oneself.
This is the key to whether or not cooperation is possible.
Hearing his teacher say this, Su Zhengnan pondered for a moment and then made a decision.
"Teacher, I know what to do now. Thank you for your guidance."
"Well, you can make the decision yourself."
Gu Fangzhou nodded, then changed the subject, saying, "By the way, I heard from Lao Wu that you joined the association? Was it the boss who applied for it for you?"
Su Zhengnan quickly replied, "Ah, yes, Fifth Senior Brother said he would take me to participate in this year's Chinese Medicine Association election, and wanted me to join in the fun."
"It's good to go and see more people, instead of always staying in your school clinic."
Gu Fangzhou glanced at him and continued, "By the way, didn't you borrow that book, 'The Heavenly Medical Manual,' from me before? How's it going lately?"
Su Zhengnan replied frankly, "It's alright to read, but I feel there are many places where the translation is inaccurate and contradicts some of the traditional Chinese medicine theories I learned before."
"It's normal for this medical book to have discrepancies, after all, it was only unearthed not long ago. It's already quite good that it has been translated to this extent."
Gu Fangzhou nodded and said, "If there's anything you don't understand, you can call me. I might have to go on a long trip soon, so if you need anything, you can contact your senior brothers."
"Understood, teacher."
The master and apprentice sat in the hall, drinking tea and chatting.
The morning passed quickly.
.............
noon.
Su Zhengnan stayed here for lunch.
After lunch, the master and apprentice continued their discussion on traditional Chinese medicine.
Su Zhengnan brought up a difficult disease recorded in "Tianhui Medical Notes". The patient had peculiar symptoms and conventional treatments were ineffective. The master and apprentice discussed it for more than an hour.
Traditional Chinese medicine's dialectical thinking sometimes takes into account not only the patient's symptoms, but also changes in the patient's geographical location and climate at the time of illness, as any change in these factors can affect the patient's condition.
This is the most powerful aspect of TCM's diagnostic methods.
Truly skilled traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, like Master Gu, can deduce the external changes a patient has been exposed to based on their pulse, and can even diagnose the patient's previous illnesses.
As Su Zhengnan's medical skills improved, he and his teacher found themselves discussing more and more common topics.
Sometimes Gu Fangzhou was even shocked by some of Su Zhengnan's views.
It seems that his closed-door disciple's medical skills will soon surpass his own.
Old Master Gu remained silent for a while, then a gratified smile appeared on his face as he said, "It seems that your medical skills will soon surpass mine, Little Su. It's a good thing that the student surpasses the master."
"However, the principles of traditional Chinese medicine are as vast as the ocean. You still need to continue your efforts and must not be complacent!"
"I understand, teacher. I will definitely continue to work hard."
Su Zhengnan replied with a smile.
Ring ring!
It was at this moment.
Su Zhengnan's phone suddenly rang.
It was Director Zhu from the Third People's Hospital calling, saying there was an emergency and he needed to come over for a consultation.
Su Zhengnan paused slightly, put away his phone, and said to Teacher Gu, "Teacher, I suddenly have something urgent to attend to, so I may have to go first."
Director Zhu called him, and Su Zhengnan felt embarrassed not to go.
After all, they increased his annual consultation fee from 200,000 to 500,000, which was a great honor for him and an acknowledgment of his medical skills.
Old Gu glanced at him, waved his hand and said, "Well, since you have something urgent to attend to, you can go ahead and do it. I won't keep you for dinner."
"Goodbye, teacher. I'm leaving now."
Su Zhengnan stood up, gave a slight bow to Elder Gu, and then turned and left in a hurry.
Watching Su Zhengnan's departing figure, Gu Fangzhou couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions. He hoped that Su Zhengnan could go further and further on the path of medicine and carry forward traditional Chinese medicine.
I just wonder when this kid will be able to quit his job as the school doctor?
Gu Fangzhou shook his head helplessly, looked at the high sun outside and couldn't help but sigh. He really didn't know how to persuade his little apprentice to change jobs.
After stepping out of the courtyard house, Su Zhengnan immediately hailed a taxi and headed to the Third People's Hospital of Beijing.
More than half an hour later.
Su Zhengnan rushed to the emergency department of the Third People's Hospital.
Dr. Chen from the emergency department was waiting for him in the lobby. As soon as Su Zhengnan appeared, he came to greet him.
"Dr. Su, Director Zhu is currently communicating with the patient's family. He said that once you arrive, he will take you to see the patient first."
What is the patient's condition?
Su Zhengnan didn't ask about Director Zhu's matter; the first thing he asked was about the patient.
Dr. Chen quickly replied, "The patient is an inspector who, according to them, had been working undercover outside. He is 35 years old and was brought here at 1 p.m.
"The patient is somewhat mentally confused, extremely irritable, and occasionally experiences spasms in his limbs. He also has a strong reaction to light..."
As he spoke, Dr. Chen casually handed over a stack of test forms.
"These are the patient's test results. We gave him a sedative an hour ago, and he is currently relatively calm."
"......."
Su Zhengnan felt a little confused!
How come there's an undercover inspector patient here?
Moreover, according to Dr. Chen, the other person should have seen a psychologist instead of being brought to the emergency room.
Su Zhengnan curiously flipped through the various test results in his hand, and the two quickly arrived at the patient's ward.
As soon as Su Zhengnan pushed open the door and stepped into the ward, he noticed that in addition to the nurses, there were also several people dressed in civilian clothes.
These people look like they work for the government.
Su Zhengnan could tell at a glance what kind of inherent aura they possessed.
It should be noted that Su Zhengnan's current diagnostic skills are such that he can identify a patient's illness at a glance, let alone such a distinct temperament.
Clearly, the patient lying in the hospital bed is very important to them.
Su Zhengnan walked straight to the patient, who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, but his hands were clenched into fists, clearly indicating that he was in a state of high tension.
Even after being given sedatives, the other party still did not relax.
This shows the extent of mental torment this patient had previously suffered.
Su Zhengnan stepped forward, grabbed the patient's wrist, and began to take his pulse.
Although the injection of sedatives may affect a person's pulse, this is not enough to affect Su Zhengnan's diagnosis.
Upon taking the patient's pulse, Su Zhengnan discovered that the pulse was very unstable, indicating a disorder of Qi and blood, with the Yang Qi being volatile and the Yin Qi entering the body's surface.
The patient has a fever, but his hands and feet are cold, indicating poor circulation of Qi in his internal organs.
At the same time, Su Zhengnan also noticed that the patient had many scars, which were densely covered all over his body.
These scars reveal that the patient's past experiences were far beyond what most people could endure.
For a moment, Su Zhengnan couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration.
However, this does not prevent him from seeing and treating patients.
Based on the current diagnosis, the patient is in a state of mental breakdown and extreme tension, which is commonly known as a traumatic mental illness.
In Western medicine, this condition is usually treated by a psychologist.
However.
In addition to a mental breakdown, the patient in front of me also suffered from both external and internal injuries, so it's not something that can be solved simply by psychological treatment.
It's no wonder they would send the patient to the emergency department.
But why was he sent to the Third People's Hospital instead of the military hospital?
Su Zhengnan was a little confused, but he didn't ask any more questions.
However, judging from the patient's current condition, conventional treatments are unlikely to be very effective.
Otherwise, Director Zhu wouldn't have called him to come over for an emergency.
Dr. Chen stood by and waited for a while, then gently nudged Su Zhengnan and asked:
"How is it, Dr. Su?"
Su Zhengnan raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "Where is Director Zhu? I do have a treatment plan here, but I might need to discuss it with Director Zhu!"
"I'll go and call Director Zhu over right away."
Dr. Chen's eyes lit up, and he turned and hurriedly went out to find Zhu Jiangcai.
At this moment, in the conference room of the emergency department.
Zhu Jiangcai was explaining to the people who came from above: "The patient's condition is currently very unstable. Although we have given him a sedative, based on the results of various tests, I'm afraid there is no good treatment option."
"Director Zhu, this is not something a doctor should say."
A middle-aged man with a square face sighed softly and looked at him, saying, "You must treat this person. This is not an order, but a request. Otherwise, all our previous efforts will have been in vain."
"Director Qin, this..."
Zhu Jiangcai hesitated, unsure of what to say.
Does that mean my medical skills are inadequate and I should ask them to take the patient to another hospital?
Qin Hao noticed Director Zhu's predicament and couldn't help but say, "Director Zhu, didn't you call many people over for a consultation? Maybe they have some solutions?"
Zhu Jiangcai sighed and said, "Doctors from several departments in our hospital have consulted on this case, but they don't have any good solutions either. Now we can only wait for doctors from other hospitals to come for a consultation."
"I also called the First People's Hospital. Several chief physicians there are on their way and should arrive soon."
"Then let's wait and see!"
Qin Hao waved his hand with a worried expression.
