"Would they be willing to forgo a liver transplant only if their condition improved by 60%?"
Inside the office.
After listening to Feng Xuegong's report, Su Zhengnan thought for a moment and said, "Judging from Zhao Lao's recovery today, it is not impossible to restore 60% of his liver function. It's just that the treatment time may be a bit longer."
"Yes, that's what I told the patient's family as well."
Feng Xuegong frowned and sighed softly, saying, "But the other party requires that if Old Zhao has not recovered to 60% by the end of his recuperation, he will still choose to give the old man a kidney transplant."
"Before the end of the recuperation period?"
Su Zhengnan was taken aback for a moment, then turned to Feng Xuegong and asked, "How long will Old Master Zhao be recuperating here?"
Feng Xuegong quickly replied, "I estimate it will take at most one or two months to recover. I heard that a liver donor has been found, and now we are just waiting for the donor to sign the body donation form."
"They found a donor so quickly?"
Su Zhengnan raised an eyebrow slightly, and couldn't help but marvel at the power of officials in the capital.
Don't underestimate the other party's son just because he's only a minor department head here. Outside of Beijing, who would dare not give him face?
For a moment, Su Zhengnan couldn't help but sigh and said, "Two months is too short. If it were more than half a year, I would be 100% confident that I could restore more than 60% of Old Zhao's liver function. Now, I can only do my best."
"That's just how it is. We're just doctors; we can't control too many things."
Feng Xuegong patted Su Zhengnan's shoulder gently to comfort him.
Upon hearing this, Su Zhengnan nodded, and didn't dwell on the issue any longer.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
Soon, the third day arrived, which was this Friday.
After arriving at the hospital early in the morning and changing into his white coat, Su Zhengnan began to inspect the entire Traditional Chinese Medicine department.
Just routine patrols!
It's just a matter of patrolling from the outpatient department on the first floor to the inpatient area on the third floor, and then to the laboratory and so on.
Ding!
After Su Zhengnan had toured the entire Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
The system's mechanical notification tone finally rang softly in his mind.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing your daily task: Conduct three routine inspections of all departments within the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department. You will receive a reward of '1256g of premium Datura stramonium'.]
"Datura? That seems to be one of the ingredients needed to make Mafeisan (an anesthetic)!"
Su Zhengnan glanced at the datura flower in his hand, then put it away in a cabinet in his office.
Datura is also known as the datura flower.
It's just that there are different varieties of datura flowers.
Datura stramonium, also known as white datura or hairy datura, is a plant in the Solanaceae family. It has the effects of relieving asthma and cough, numbing and relieving pain, and relieving spasms and convulsions.
After carefully putting away the datura flowers.
Su Zhengnan checked the time, then left his office and went to the outpatient department on the first floor to call Niu Guangliang. Together they headed towards the main inpatient department.
Niu Guangliang followed Su Zhengnan to the entrance of the main inpatient department and suddenly spoke:
"Director Su, let me call Dr. Li and ask him to come over too. He's the second participant in this project."
Su Zhengnan turned to look at him and asked, "Calling him over is fine, but isn't he supposed to be out in the outpatient clinic?"
As Niu Guangliang took out his phone and dialed Li Jianmin's number, he replied with a smile, "Dr. Li is off today, Dr. Wu is on duty."
"Okay, if he's free, let's call him over!"
Su Zhengnan nodded without saying anything more, and walked towards the elevator entrance of the general inpatient department.
Half an hour later.
Li Jianmin rushed over in a hurry.
"Sorry, there was a bit of traffic on the way here, otherwise I would have arrived in ten minutes."
Li Jianmin appeared in the ward, panting, and explained to Su Zhengnan and Niu Guangliang.
Su Zhengnan glanced at him and said, "It's nothing. You're not on duty today. We're just collecting patient data here. Could you help me record it?"
"Oh, okay, Director Su."
Li Jianmin nodded and quickly agreed, then took the medical record and began to take charge of the subsequent recording.
As before, Su Zhengnan re-examined each patient who had taken the medication to confirm that their conditions were improving rapidly.
Following Su Zhengnan's instructions, Niu Guangliang further determined the changes in the patient's condition.
Then Li Jianmin was in charge of taking notes.
After all 61 hospitalized patients had their follow-up appointments completed.
The three then went to the conference room and began a discussion on the topic of traditional Chinese medicine treatment for cardiovascular diseases.
Su Zhengnan glanced through the medical records from the past few days and said with a smile to Niu Guangliang and Li Jianmin:
"Judging from the situation after the prescription was revised in the past few days, at least 50 out of the 61 patients are seeing improvement, which shows that our traditional Chinese medicine is very effective in treating cardiovascular diseases."
"Among them, the patient's hyperlipidemia decreased by approximately 12.1%, blood viscosity decreased by approximately 9.3%, atherosclerosis did not show significant improvement for the time being, and hypertension decreased by approximately 13.4%..."
After describing the changes observed during his recent follow-up visits, Su Zhengnan continued, "I will summarize as follows:"
"This is just the change after three days of taking the medicine. From this, we can see that traditional Chinese medicine is indeed effective in improving and treating cardiovascular diseases."
"It's just that the patient took the medication for a shorter period of time, and the prescription the patient had taken before was different."
"Therefore, this clinical data needs more time to be validated."
At this point, Su Zhengnan paused for a moment, then looked at Niu Guangliang and said:
"The research data you did before needs to be rechecked and adjusted based on the data I have collected over the past few days. Judging from the recovery status of these sixty-odd patients, this project can be summarized in about a week at most."
"Just submit the application directly to the higher authorities, and remember to publish the research results as well."
After giving instructions to Niu Guangliang, Su Zhengnan turned to Li Jianmin and said:
"Dr. Li, you are the second participant. Please organize the clinical data and write a research report. Remember to add any changes in the patients' conditions as they occur."
"Yes, Director Su!"
Niu Guangliang and Li Jianmin responded simultaneously, their eyes gleaming with excitement.
To be honest, they had considered completing this project as soon as possible.
However, due to the incorrect medication, subsequent clinical data for this project could not be collected.
Naturally, this topic has remained unresolved.
Unexpectedly, less than a week after Su Zhengnan arrived, the other party had already cracked the problem. How could the two of them not be excited?
Su Zhengnan didn't care whether they were excited or not, and stood up to say:
"Alright, I'll leave the rest to you. If the patient experiences any adverse changes, please let me know immediately."
After saying that, Su Zhengnan got up and left the conference room.
The remaining data collection will naturally be left to Dr. Niu and his team, since he is not the one leading this project.
Moreover, as the head of the department, Su Zhengnan couldn't possibly devote all his time to this research project; there were many other things waiting for him to do in the hospital!
.............
afternoon.
After lunch break.
Su Zhengnan and Feng Xuegong came to the courtyard for a meeting.
In the huge conference room, all the department heads of the Beijing Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital were present.
Su Zhengnan sat down next to Feng Xuegong, glanced at Dean Feng sitting in the main seat, and gently nudged Feng Xuegong's shoulder, asking:
"What's going on? Why were we suddenly called to a meeting?"
Feng Xuegong glanced at his father, then turned and replied softly, "It seems my father received news that the health department is coming to inspect tomorrow, so he immediately called everyone here for a meeting..."
At this point, Feng Xuegong suddenly realized something, rolled his eyes at Su Zhengnan, and said:
"Wait a minute, didn't you already know the health department was coming to inspect our area? Why are you asking this question now?"
"I thought it was some other meeting, otherwise why would I be asking you!"
Su Zhengnan rolled his eyes at Feng Xuegong, looking speechless.
Feng Xuegong: "......"
After a short while, the meeting room quieted down.
Everyone sat in their seats, waiting for Dean Feng Shilun to speak.
Sitting at the head of the conference room, Feng Shilun glanced at everyone present, a faint smile on his face, before finally speaking after a long pause:
"Before we begin the meeting, let me introduce our new director of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department!"
As he spoke, Feng Shilun pointed to the seat where Su Zhengnan was sitting and introduced it to everyone:
"This is Su Zhengnan, the new director of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department in our hospital. You can call him Xiao Su. He may be younger than everyone here, but his medical skills are absolutely top-notch. Otherwise, we wouldn't have appointed him as the director of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department."
As soon as Feng Shilun finished speaking...
In an instant, all the department heads in the conference room turned to look at Su Zhengnan, who was sitting next to Feng Xuegong.
"Is this the new head of the Traditional Chinese Medicine department in our hospital? He looks way too young, probably not even thirty yet?"
"What do you mean thirty? I've seen the information on this new director of the Traditional Chinese Medicine department, and he's only twenty-six!"
"Twenty-six? So young?"
"Why would the hospital appoint him as the director of the Traditional Chinese Medicine department? I don't think I've ever seen this young man before!"
"I don't know, but the other party must be someone important, right? Otherwise, they wouldn't be sitting with the dean's son and would have made him the director of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department."
"Who knows? Anyway, they're not coming to our department to start work. As long as they don't cause trouble for our hospital, it's fine."
"However, judging from Dean Feng's tone, the other person's medical skills seem quite good!"
"......."
The crowd began whispering amongst themselves.
Su Zhengnan felt a little embarrassed. Listening to the discussions around him, he couldn't help but complain to himself.
"You directors can talk about yourselves all you want, but can't you at least keep your voices down? Do you think I'm not here?"
Tap tap tap.....
At this moment, Feng Shilun tapped lightly on the conference table with his right hand and said:
"Alright, everyone, quiet down, we're having a meeting!"
As soon as the former dean, Feng Shilun, spoke, the room fell silent instantly.
After the scene had completely quieted down.
Feng Shilun then slowly continued, "Xiao Su is a very good person. If you have time, you can get to know him better. Our hospital needs this kind of fresh blood to revitalize our medical work."
"You should all not doubt Xiao Su's medical skills and qualifications. His medical skills and qualifications are more than enough to be the head of this department."
"???"
Everyone looked at Dean Feng with bewildered expressions, not knowing what he meant by "sufficient medical skills and qualifications."
Could it be that this young man has some powerful background?
Xia Zhilin, the director of the Western Medicine Department, and Chen Ye, the director of the Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Department, exchanged glances, both looking puzzled.
"Alright, let's end the topic of Xiao Su here!"
Feng Shilun said with a smile, then looked at everyone and said again:
"Let's get back to the main topic. The reason I called you department heads here is that I need to inform you of something. Tomorrow, leaders from the health department will be visiting our hospital."
"I hope you can manage your departments well and avoid any doctor-patient disputes or patient complaints at this time."
"What? Health department leaders are coming to our hospital for an inspection tomorrow?"
Xia Zhilin, the director of the Western Medicine Department, was taken aback and said speechlessly, "Is it this sudden? Why were we only notified of our inspection today?"
You know, just these past few days, a patient's family member has been causing a disturbance at their Western medicine department!
What troubled him even more was...
The patient's family member was also a journalist, which gave the head of the Western medicine department a real headache.
Feng Shilun frowned and looked at him, saying, "This is probably a surprise inspection. I only received the news during lunch."
At this point, Feng Shilun paused slightly, tapping his fingers lightly on the conference room table as he continued:
“I’ve heard about what happened in your Western medicine department these past two days. I don’t care how you communicate with the patient’s family, this doctor-patient conflict must be resolved before tonight.”
"Yes, Dean, I understand."
Xia Zhilin sighed helplessly, having no choice but to make a solemn pledge.
After all, it's no small matter for health department leaders to come and inspect.
If it's a minor matter.
Feng Shilun wouldn't be in such a hurry to call them over for a meeting to give instructions anymore.
Therefore, it is quite obvious that the health department leader who came to inspect this time must hold a high position, and is probably here for the purpose of hospital reform.
Their integrated Chinese and Western medicine hospital was originally designated by higher authorities as a pilot site for this medical reform.
If something unexpected happens at this time...
At that time, not only will their hospital lose face, but the leaders above them will definitely lose face even more.
