After Su Zhengnan and the others finished checking the wards.
It was almost noon.
Feng Xuegong glanced at the time and said, "Director Su, I think it's almost time to get off work. How about we go eat first?"
"Eat? Sure, let's go eat first!"
Su Zhengnan nodded without objecting. Anyway, it was almost time to get off work, and there was nothing wrong with going to have lunch.
Afterwards, Su Zhengnan followed Feng Xuegong to the hospital cafeteria for their work meal.
After taking a few bites of his meal, Feng Xuegong suddenly sighed:
"Director Su, I really didn't expect that! Your pulse diagnosis and diagnostic skills are so amazing. I feel quite ashamed of myself!"
"Director Feng, you flatter me. Actually, your medical skills are quite good as well."
Su Zhengnan smiled and said modestly.
Feng Xuegong chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Heh, do you think I don't know my own medical skills? I know every patient in the ward well, but so what? Our ward's discharge rate has never been very high!"
The so-called low discharge rate.
This means that the cure rate for hospitalized patients is not high.
This also shows whether a hospital's doctors have excellent medical skills.
However, this cannot be blamed on Feng Xuegong and his team's poor medical skills; it can only be said that the patients who come to them for hospitalization have more difficult-to-treat illnesses.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be called a recuperation center.
Since it's a recuperation center, it means that these patients' conditions are relatively difficult to cure.
Su Zhengnan understood Feng Xuegong's meaning and smiled slightly, saying, "Actually, this isn't a problem with Director Feng or your department. After all, there are many comprehensive factors to consider when treating patients, and the patients in our ward all have complex and difficult-to-diagnose conditions, which does require considerable clinical experience..."
"But this also shows that our understanding of traditional Chinese medicine theory is not thorough enough, and our control over clinical experience is not precise enough, doesn't it?"
Feng Xuegong sighed softly, somewhat helplessly.
Su Zhengnan thought for a moment and said, "Since Director Feng feels that your understanding of traditional Chinese medicine theory is not thorough enough, I think perhaps our department could conduct a targeted training session. What do you think?"
"Training? What kind of training?"
Feng Xuegong looked at him with some surprise and asked.
Su Zhengnan smiled slightly and said, "For example, acupuncture, massage, pulse diagnosis, etc. I think our department can definitely train everyone again. This will not only help everyone consolidate the knowledge they have learned before, but also help everyone's medical skills to improve further."
"Well....."
Feng Xuegong paused for a moment, then said, "Departmental training isn't something that can be done just by talking about it; it depends on whether everyone is willing and has the time."
After all, they are all working; they can't just quit their jobs to go for training!
Su Zhengnan smiled and said, "Time can always be squeezed out. If everyone wants to improve the capabilities of our department, this training is definitely a must."
"Yes, Director Su, you're right."
Feng Xuegong nodded, seemingly lost in thought, and said, "However, we still need to discuss this matter with everyone and see what everyone thinks."
The two ate their meal while discussing work-related issues.
After lunch.
The two then returned to their respective offices for a lunch break.
.............
afternoon.
After lunch break.
Instead of sticking with Feng Xuegong, Su Zhengnan sought out Dr. Niu, a specialist in Traditional Chinese Medicine internal medicine, to refine their research on treating cardiovascular diseases with traditional Chinese medicine.
As the deputy director of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Feng Xuegong naturally had his own work to do and could not follow Su Zhengnan around forever.
"Dr. Niu, are you busy?"
Su Zhengnan arrived at the outpatient clinic of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, knocked on the door, and greeted Niu Guangliang, who was examining a patient.
Niu Guangliang looked up and asked, "Director Su, is there something you need?"
As they were talking, Niu Guangliang was still busy prescribing medicine for the patient, seemingly not taking Su Zhengnan's appearance to heart!
Su Zhengnan, however, paid no attention to this and walked straight into the consultation room, saying:
"I'm here to work with you to refine the research topic we discussed earlier. You should have some relevant clinical patients, right? Take me to see them, and let's see if we can analyze their symptoms within the next two or three days."
"The clinical patients are all on the sixth floor of the main inpatient building across the street."
After examining the patient, Niu Guangliang put down his work and said, "Let's go, I'll go with you to see him."
After saying that, Niu Guangliang took out his phone and called Li Jianmin, the attending physician in the internal medicine department, asking him to come and take over his shift.
After Li Jianmin arrived.
Niu Guangliang then led Su Zhengnan out of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department and headed towards the main inpatient department across the street.
Soon, the two arrived at the sixth floor of the main inpatient department.
This place houses many patients with cardiovascular diseases, most of whom were previously admitted by Niu Guangliang, mainly to complete that research project.
Of course, some patients were admitted to the Western medicine department and the integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine department.
As Niu Guangliang led Su Zhengnan into the first ward, he explained, "The entire sixth floor is filled with patients suffering from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, mainly middle-aged and elderly people over fifty years old."
"Among them, about 15 patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases caused by factors such as atherosclerosis, hypertensive arteriosclerosis, and arteritis were hospitalized, while about 37 patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases caused by factors such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes were hospitalized."
"In addition, there are about nine patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases caused by factors such as leukemia, anemia, and thrombocytosis who are hospitalized."
"Among these hospitalized patients, about 56 have a history of smoking and about 28 have a history of alcohol abuse. I'll have someone bring you their medical records so you can take a look."
As he walked into the ward, Niu Guangliang took out his phone and called the nurses' station on the sixth floor, asking them to bring over the patient's complete medical record.
Soon, a fairly good-looking nurse rushed over with the medical records in her arms.
Su Zhengnan took the medical record handed to him and began to look through it.
Niu Guangliang then added details about the patient, saying, "The patient in front of us is named Luo Yangping. He is 53 years old and has severe arteriosclerosis, and his condition is quite complicated."
“We tried some traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions before, but the effects were not very significant.”
“He has been hospitalized with us for almost half a year. We had considered performing arterial surgery on him before, but that would have no relation to our research on traditional Chinese medicine treatment.”
Listening to Niu Guangliang's story.
Su Zhengnan stepped forward and took the other person's pulse, finding that the pulse was very deep and that the person's internal meridians were severely blocked by cold and dampness.
This is clearly the main cause of arteriosclerosis in the other person's arteries.
The presence of cold and dampness in the blood vessels indicates that the patient previously worked in an environment with excessive coldness for a long time. They may not have felt it when they were young, but it will cause arteriosclerosis as they get older.
Of course, this is only one of the causes of the disease.
The prescription that Niu Guangliang had given to the patient was Bazhen Tang, which does indeed have the effect of relieving coldness in the meridians.
However, this formula is more effective in replenishing qi and blood.
The patient's arteries are already hardened. Instead of clearing the arteries, you're focusing on replenishing qi and blood. While this might have some effect, even with more qi and blood, it still won't clear the hardened parts of the arteries.
This is why, even though Niu Guangliang's prescription was correct, it was not very effective.
After thinking for a moment, Su Zhengnan wrote out a prescription and handed it to Niu Guangliang, saying:
"Try this recipe, and stop using the previous Bazhen Tang."
Niu Guangliang took the prescription and looked at it, then said with a puzzled expression, "Director Su, I've used some of the herbs in this prescription before, but they didn't seem to have any effect!"
Su Zhengnan explained, "I have reviewed the patient's medical records. You have indeed used these herbs before, but you did not use the other main herbs correctly. The combination of herbs in the prescription is problematic, so the effect will naturally not be significant."
What is it?
How could there be a problem with the prescription I wrote?
Niu Guangliang was speechless, feeling that Su Zhengnan was being pretentious.
However, he did not refute the other party's words on the spot.
Instead, he nodded with some skepticism and replied, "Alright, let's try the prescription you gave me, Director Su. If it really works, I'll be convinced!"
After saying that, Niu Guangliang recorded the prescription that Su Zhengnan had written in the patient's medical record and instructed the nurse next to him to quickly prepare the medicine.
Throughout the entire process, Niu Guangliang did not refute Su Zhengnan's words much.
He had already stated at the meeting that he would fully cooperate with Su Zhengnan's work.
Whether it will work out in the end depends on the other party's abilities.
If this research project is truly perfected, then he, as the leader of this project, will naturally benefit the most.
If it doesn't work out, then Su Zhengnan will have to take the blame.
No matter how you look at it, Niu Guangliang is guaranteed to win.
Therefore, Niu Guangliang didn't say anything at this moment, and just cooperated with Su Zhengnan to complete this task.
