Su Zhengnan didn't have time to care what Niu Guangliang was thinking.
He just wanted to quickly perfect the current medical project, even though it wasn't primarily his responsibility.
However, as the head of the department, leading the improvement of this medical project does have some advantages.
Moreover, this can be considered a special mission!
Su Zhengnan spent an entire afternoon examining 61 patients suffering from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and found that the prescriptions for most of them differed from those for others.
It's not that Niu Guangliang and his colleagues' dialectical thinking was wrong.
The main problem is that the diagnosis was not accurate enough, and some changes in the patient's body were overlooked.
This leads to the medication not being appropriate for the condition, resulting in minimal therapeutic effect.
Su Zhengnan corrected the prescriptions of nearly fifty patients, leaving Niu Guangliang stunned. He even began to doubt whether his medical skills were really that bad.
Sixty-one patients had their prescriptions changed for nearly fifty different patients?
Is it really necessary to be this awesome?
Are you so sure that your dialectical approach is correct?
Niu Guangliang silently complained to himself, but he didn't say it to Su Zhengnan's face.
After examining all the patients...
Su Zhengnan sorted through the patients' information and turned to Niu Guangliang, saying, "Most of the patients are in relatively good condition. If nothing unexpected happens, we should see results within three days at most."
"Three days? Will it be effective in three days?"
Niu Guangliang's eyes widened in disbelief, as if he couldn't believe his ears.
Does this new department head ever think before he speaks?
If these prescriptions could be effective in three days, I, Niu Guangliang, might as well drink cephalosporin with alcohol!
Su Zhengnan smiled and glanced at him, saying, "Of course, if this medicine is effective, it should be very effective. Dr. Niu, you are also a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, don't you understand this principle?"
Niu Guangliang: "......"
Faced with Su Zhengnan's words, Niu Guangliang was momentarily at a loss for words, feeling as if he were being lectured by Su Zhengnan.
"Okay, that's enough for today. Time to go home."
Su Zhengnan glanced at the time and said to Niu Guangliang, "Dr. Niu, let's go. We'll come back tomorrow to check on the patient's condition after taking the medication."
After saying that, he turned and walked outside.
Watching Su Zhengnan's departing figure, Niu Guangliang felt a mix of emotions, as if he couldn't convince himself to obey the other party's orders.
Oh well, it's only three days!
If the patient's condition doesn't improve in three days, I'd like to see what Director Su has to say.
Niu Guangliang pondered for a moment, and finally decided to cooperate with the other party's work for the next few days, and make further plans in three days.
.............
The next day.
After arriving at the hospital, Su Zhengnan first inspected the entire department.
Afterwards, he took Niu Guangliang to the main inpatient department to review and record the changes in the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular patients after taking the medication.
"Hmm, the pulse is floating and tight, but it no longer has the sticky strength it had yesterday."
After examining the first patient, Su Zhengnan smiled and said to Niu Guangliang, "It seems the medication is working well. Continue taking the medicine as prescribed!"
Upon hearing this, Niu Guangliang stepped forward and quickly checked the patient's pulse. Sure enough, as Su Zhengnan had said, the patient's pulse, which was originally very tight, had now eased considerably.
Next, they checked on the next patient and found that their conditions had improved.
"Seriously? This actually works?"
Niu Guangliang felt somewhat incredulous. Could it be that there was something wrong with the prescription he had written before?
Or is it that... there's really a problem with my own dialectical thinking?
For a moment, Niu Guangliang couldn't help but doubt whether the traditional Chinese medicine knowledge he had learned before was wrong, or whether his clinical experience was really that bad.
After Su Zhengnan had seen all the remaining patients again,
Niu Guangliang finally couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering him, "Director Su, do you think it's because our previous diagnosis wasn't accurate enough, or is there some other problem? Why is there such a big difference in the effect of the prescription we gave you compared to the one you gave us?"
At this moment, Niu Guangliang had put away his contempt for Su Zhengnan and felt ashamed of his narrow-mindedness.
Yesterday, he thought Su Zhengnan's modification of the prescriptions for fifty patients was just stupid showing off.
Unexpectedly, I was proven wrong today.
It turns out the other person wasn't just showing off, but was genuinely treating the patient.
Moreover, after just one night, the patients' conditions improved, and their pulses were noticeably stronger than the day before.
This is...this is incredible!
It really worked like a drumbeat!
Su Zhengnan smiled slightly and looked at Niu Guangliang, saying, "I won't go into the big principles of traditional Chinese medicine, as you, Dr. Niu, already understand them. I can only say that when diagnosing a patient's pulse, you may have overlooked subtle changes in the patient's pulse, which may have led to a lack of comprehensive diagnosis when prescribing a prescription."
"Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes a holistic approach. We cannot just look at the surface symptoms of a patient's illness; we must also gain a deeper understanding of the causes and mechanisms of the disease."
“Each patient’s physical condition is unique, so the treatment plan also needs to be individualized.”
"Especially when performing the four diagnostic methods of observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation on patients, it is even more important to make a clear diagnosis and consider various factors in order to prescribe the most suitable medicine for the patient."
"For example, when treating lesions in internal organs, we cannot treat only one organ or viscera. Instead, we need to treat both organs and viscera together, or treat the viscera with the viscera, or the viscera with the organs, and so on."
"Even more often than not, treatment doesn't focus on the diseased organ itself, but rather on treating other internal organs to achieve a cure..."
Upon hearing Su Zhengnan say this...
Niu Guangliang nodded thoughtfully and replied, "I understand. For example, sometimes stomach problems require treating the liver, and lung problems require treating the spleen and stomach, rather than necessarily starting with the organ that is causing the disease."
Yes, that's right!
Su Zhengnan smiled slightly, and then used the previous patient with cirrhosis as an example.
The treatment should focus on the gallbladder first, then the liver, rather than solely treating the liver.
"While treating the diseased organs, it is also necessary to treat other organs that are not yet diseased, so as to achieve the goal of preventing and curing visceral diseases."
Su Zhengnan chatted with Niu Guangliang as he returned to the outpatient department of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department.
"Alright, Dr. Niu, you can go ahead and get busy. I'll go back and organize the patient data and revise the research findings. I'll talk to you again later."
Su Zhengnan smiled and waved to Niu Guangliang, then turned and went back to his office.
Watching Su Zhengnan's departing figure, Niu Guangliang stood there stunned for a while before coming to his senses and walking towards his clinic.
Soon, the news that Niu Guangliang had been impressed by the new department head spread throughout the entire Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
After all, the TCM department is only so big.
Apart from Director Su Zhengnan, who is new, everyone else knows him well.
No news could escape the lips of those nurses.
"Hey, have you heard? Dr. Niu's research project involved replacing all the prescriptions previously given to clinical patients with new medications by Director Su. And more importantly, the new prescriptions are incredibly effective."
"I heard that Dr. Niu was completely dumbfounded after he went for a follow-up appointment with Director Su this morning."
"Really? Is our new chief physician that skilled?"
"It must be amazing, right? I also heard that our new director diagnosed several patients in our ward yesterday, and even that diver's complexion has improved a lot today after taking the medicine yesterday!"
"Wow, really?"
"So, if that's the case, our new director seems to be quite capable?"
"He's not just talented, didn't you see how handsome he is? And he's so young, not even thirty yet!"
For a time, the entire TCM department was abuzz with discussion about Su Zhengnan's ward rounds and follow-up visits to patients.
This gossip spread like wildfire among the nurses, until it almost became a story of Su Zhengnan publicly humiliating several chief physicians in the department.
Dr. Li Jianmin, the attending physician, nudged Niu Guangliang, who was sitting in the outpatient room, with some curiosity and asked, "Director Niu, are those rumors circulating in the department true or false? Is our new director's pulse diagnosis really that good?"
Niu Guangliang glanced at him, nodded, and said, "Director Su's pulse diagnosis is indeed very impressive. He can sense changes in the patient's pulse and things we previously overlooked as soon as he starts to take a look. Otherwise, how could his prescriptions be so effective?"
"No way? Really?"
Li Jianmin was still somewhat incredulous, staring wide-eyed at Niu Guangliang.
Niu Guangliang sighed and said, "Of course it's true. Why would I lie to you at my age? Besides, you're also a member of our research group. You'll see when Director Su finishes compiling the final report."
"Speaking of which, Director Su's pulse diagnosis is indeed very impressive. It has probably reached a level of subtlety, and he may even be more skilled than our former dean."
"Oh no... how is this possible? He's only twenty-six!"
Li Jianmin looked surprised and said, "A 26-year-old traditional Chinese medicine practitioner can reach such a profound level in pulse diagnosis? How is that possible!"
Niu Guangliang chuckled and shrugged, saying, "What's impossible about that? The facts are right in front of us. Also, Dr. Li, you'd better show more respect to Director Su in the future. I think that although our Director Su looks young, he is very likely from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners."
Were you born into a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners?
Li Jianmin nodded thoughtfully after listening to Niu Guangliang's words.
He recalled Su Zhengnan's relaxed and confident demeanor and couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration.
At the same time that everyone was discussing Su Zhengnan.
On the other side.
Feng Xuegong is currently communicating with Zhao's family about giving up the liver transplant.
"Director Zhao, after we changed your father's treatment plan yesterday, the test results came out today. All of your father's physical indicators are recovering better than before."
"Therefore, our advice is that your father can forgo the liver transplant surgery."
"After all, your father is quite old. Forcing surgery would only increase the risks. It would be better to follow our more suitable treatment plan."
Feng Xuegong looked at Zhao Lao's son with difficulty and kept explaining:
"Based on our current treatment plan, without a liver transplant, there is at least a 50% chance that Mr. Zhao's condition can be completely cured."
"Give up on a liver transplant? Is this the advice you gave my father, Dr. Feng?"
Zhao Xiaofeng looked at Feng Xuegong with displeasure and said indifferently, "Although I don't understand medicine, I have asked the heads of the Western medicine department. Only liver transplantation can better prolong my father's lifespan for cirrhosis."
"You want my father to give up the liver transplant surgery, isn't that the same as asking me to give up my father's hope of living?"
Feng Xuegong understood Zhao Xiaofeng's concerns and patiently explained, "Director Zhao, I understand your feelings, but liver transplant surgery is not without risks."
"Moreover, the patient is already quite old, and postoperative recovery is a major challenge. The treatment plan we are currently using has already achieved significant results, and I believe that the final treatment outcome will certainly not be worse than that of a liver transplant."
Zhao Xiaofeng frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "But this is just your estimate. Who can guarantee that it can be cured?"
"this....."
Feng Xuegong was at a loss for words.
After a long silence.
Feng Xuegong said, "Director Zhao, how about this: your father can continue his current treatment plan while he is recuperating in our department?"
"What if we wait until the recuperation period is over and your father's condition has recovered by more than 60%, then we can give up on the liver transplant?"
"Um?"
Zhao Xiaofeng paused for a moment, then looked deeply at Feng Xuegong and said, "Are you really that confident? Recovering to 60% is no easy feat. Although I don't understand medicine, I know the extent of my father's illness."
After a moment's consideration, Feng Xuegong replied, "Judging from the treatment last night to this afternoon, Old Zhao's liver function has indeed recovered somewhat. Although the data shows very slight improvement, we are still confident that he will recover."
“Okay, if my father’s condition can be 60% recovered by the end of the recuperation period, I can consider letting my father give up the liver transplant surgery.”
After much deliberation, Zhao Xiaofeng finally agreed to Feng Xuegong's proposal.
After all, if the original liver can recover.
Who would think of undergoing surgery to transplant someone else's liver?
It's just about surviving.
Seeing that he had finally persuaded Director Zhao to give up the liver transplant surgery, Feng Xuegong breathed a sigh of relief. He had not let Su Zhengnan down.
However, the goal is to help the patient recover to more than 60% of their condition.
This is not something he needs to worry about; he can leave it to Director Su to handle.
