Chapter 107: A disease that even famous doctors cannot diagnose; it is easy to see the King of Hell, but difficult to deal with the little ghosts
I don’t know what disease this woman named Qiu Jie has?
Zhou Can thought that if her leg disease could be cured, perhaps it would help her regain her self-confidence and stop being pessimistic and cynical.
"Mr. Li..."
"It's so awkward to call me Mr. Li. Can't you just call me Brother Lao?" Under the stimulation of alcohol, Li Lao's face turned red, but his eyes were no longer confused.
Many people become confused after getting drunk.
Li Lao was the opposite. After drinking, he became sober.
This reminded Zhou Can of Li Bai's poem "Everyone else is drunk, but I am sober." Li Bai often got drunk, and people only knew him as the immortal poet, but did not know that he was a famous "drunkard."
In many ways, Li Lao and Li Bai have many similarities.
They all have brilliant and dazzling talents.
Everyone has their own inner distress and frustration.
It seems that he is still addicted to alcohol.
"Brother Lao, can I ask what happened to my sister-in-law's legs? We doctors have occupational diseases. When I shook her hand just now, I felt that her hands were a little cold, which is a sign of poor blood circulation in the upper limbs."
Zhou Can asked this out of kindness.
I just wanted to see if I could help her solve her leg disease and help her regain confidence in life.
"Alas! It's all my fault. A few years ago, my wife was pregnant and needed someone to accompany her the most. At that time, my career was booming and I became the youngest vice president of Tianyu Interactive Company. I was leading a team to compete with two other vice presidents for the position of president. One of the other two vice presidents had strong connections and financial support. The other vice president was a company veteran with strong strength."
"Both vice presidents are much stronger than me. But I have a bad habit. The stronger the opponent, the more excited I get. At that time, I was just holding back my energy and wanted to defeat the two vice presidents and become the president."
When Li Lao talked about the peak of his career, there was a glimmer of light in his confused eyes.
As his wife said, he actually had his career in mind.
Every man has an ambition.
Especially a talented person like Li Lao, who wants to achieve great things in his field.
Now, he accompanies his wife every day, leading this almost secluded life.
It's like putting a tiger in a cage.
Deep down, one must be longing for the day when one can return to the mountains, climb to a high place and roar, to regain one's former glory, dominance, and passion.
"During that period, I couldn't be with my wife, let alone take care of her. I was even too busy at work, too hard, and had a messy schedule, which led to me often sleeping late and not answering her calls. Later, after my team and I worked hard, we finally defeated the two vice presidents, and the project I led won the first place."
"But just when my superiors were talking to me about appointing me as the successor to the company's president, I received a call from the hospital. They said my wife had fainted at home and no one had found her. When she was taken to the hospital, she had already miscarried. She almost died and ended up with paralysis of her lower limbs. At that moment, I realized that I had lost my most precious thing."
When Li Lao said this, tears were already streaming down his face. He picked up a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.
Qiu Jie also lowered her head and sobbed.
Losing a child and becoming paralyzed in the lower limbs is too high a price to pay.
"I made a decision that day. Without her, what's the point of becoming a CEO? So I resolutely resigned and stayed with her in the hospital. During this period, she thought about committing suicide many times, and my heart was filled with endless regret and self-blame. Fortunately, after staying by her side for a few years, she never mentioned suicide again, and she became more enthusiastic about life."
Li Lao grabbed his wife's hand and held it tightly.
The scene was very touching.
After they calmed down, Zhou Can continued to ask, "From a medical point of view, abortion should not lead to lower limb paralysis! Has she been to a large hospital for a checkup?"
Abortion may cause heavy bleeding, infection, and may even leave some chronic diseases.
For example, it is difficult to conceive again.
But I have never heard of a miscarriage directly leading to paralysis.
"Why haven't you checked it out? I've checked all the famous hospitals in the country. I've made appointments with various famous doctors , but they all said they couldn't do anything."
This time it was Qiu Jie who answered.
She should have gotten over the pain of losing her child.
What is tormenting her now is paralysis of her lower limbs.
I guess I want to cure my legs in my dreams.
"Paralysis is usually a neurological problem. I wonder what the famous doctors' diagnosis is?"
Zhou Can had long guessed that her illness would be difficult to cure.
Because the owners who can live in Jiangxin Garden must be rich.
Major hospitals in China are strong, and there are many famous doctors in the field of neurology. So many people have been examined and said they are powerless. It is conceivable that the difficulty of treatment must be 3S level.
"I've done all the tests I could, including blood routine, electrocardiogram, head CT, head MRI, transcranial Doppler and carotid ultrasound. I've even seen a few old Chinese doctors. Their diagnoses vary. Some doctors think it was caused by a virus infecting the nerves during the miscarriage. Some think the nerves in the skull were damaged. Some think the nerves in the waist were damaged or severed."
"No doctor could give a definite diagnosis. I took medicine, had injections, and attended all kinds of rehabilitation training, but nothing worked."
When she said this, her eyes were full of despair.
The thing people fear most is to be full of hope again and again, and then be disappointed again and again, and finally become hopeless and completely despair.
"Can you show me the medical records? I don't mean anything special. I just want to study it for the sake of learning. I'll ask the teacher for advice later. If the exact cause of the disease can be found, then there will be hope."
Zhou Can is just a resident intern and is not arrogant enough to look down on all famous doctors.
He just wanted to help this patient's new friend out of compassion.
"Okay, I have it on my phone. Just add me as a WeChat friend and I'll send it to you." Li Lao agreed immediately.
But he didn't have much hope for Zhou Can.
Because so many famous doctors have seen Zhou Can, and he is so young, even if he is a doctor at Tuya Hospital, his level is at most slightly better than that of some doctors in municipal and county hospitals.
There is definitely no way to compare with those famous doctors in related fields.
He stores all the examination information on his mobile phone so that he can show it to the doctor at any time.
In fact, it is not necessary to print films for the films taken in the hospital.
In order to reduce the burden on patients, some hospitals have taken the lead in trying a model that allows patients to print on their own.
If the patient has no special needs, he or she can choose not to print the film. The film taken during the examination will be uploaded directly to the hospital's patient archive by the medical examination room.
The consulting doctor can simply enter the patient's name and view the data.
This alone can save patients at least one million yuan a year.
After Zhou Can received the inspection report sent by Li Lao, he checked it carefully one by one.
After watching it once, I didn't find much.
Come to think of it, so many famous doctors have seen it but failed to identify the cause. He, a resident intern, can find the problem after just one look. He is not a genius, but a god.
"My knowledge is limited and I can't find the cause. I'll ask my teacher for help tomorrow."
Zhou Can put away his phone.
"Thanks!"
Li Lao raised his glass and toasted him.
The two met face to face.
Li Lao wanted to pour more wine into the glass, but his wife stopped him from drinking.
"Don't drink anymore. You've already had a lot of drinks today."
She advised.
"I am so happy! I met a new friend named Zhou Can. In many aspects, we have the same understanding and cognition. We really get along well."
He was obviously a little drunk.
A hand was placed on Zhou Can's shoulder.
"Zhou Can, I'm glad to meet you. My wife won't let me drink today, so I'll drink with you another day."
His words caused Mr. and Mrs. Cui to laugh secretly.
Men who are afraid of their wives are sometimes actually very cute.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, everyone had almost finished eating.
Zhou Can stood up and said goodbye.
"Zhou Can, let me take you back!"
"Don't drink and drive. I can't let you break the law. Just take a taxi. Thank you, Brother Cui and sister-in-law, for your hospitality. Goodbye."
Zhou Can didn't drink much, only about three or four glasses.
"Brother Lao, Qiu Jie, goodbye!"
"You can come and visit us when you have time. We live next door to Brother Cui. We are at home every day." Qiu Jie said to him.
At this moment, Li Lao was so drunk that he was staggering.
Just waved and grinned at Zhou Can.
"Yes!"
Zhou Can walked out of the villa and Mr. Cui caught up with him to see him off.
"Brother Cui, please stay!"
Zhou Can turned around and waved.
"Then be careful on the road! When you arrive, let me know you're safe."
Mr. Cui raised his cell phone.
He was mainly worried because he saw Zhou Can was drunk.
"good!"
Zhou Can's mind was actually very clear and his actions were not affected.
He used a ride-hailing app to call a car.
When he walked out of Jiangxin Garden Community, the online taxi was already waiting for him at the door.
Modern technology is highly developed, bringing great convenience to people's lives in all aspects.
…
After returning to the apartment, Zhou Can actually brought some food back for Jin Mingxi.
"A king crab, half a box of caviar, and some ham."
He thought the ham tasted very good, so he took some and put it in a disposable food container.
"Wow, did you go to a five-star hotel for a feast? King crab, caviar, my god, these are top-notch ingredients that only rich people can enjoy."
When Jin Mingxi smelled the fragrance, he no longer cared about practicing the basic skills of 'steady knife'.
Jumping out of bed, I can't wait to taste the delicious food.
"This ham may look plain, but I bet it's not simple. Someone once treated me to the best ham in the country, but it was far inferior to this in both aroma and taste. Could this be the legendary Iberian ham? Tsk tsk, the person who treated you to a meal must be very rich, and is treating you with the highest standards."
Jin Mingxi looked very much enjoying it.
He was even more curious about the person who invited Zhou Can to dinner.
Ordinary wealthy people simply cannot afford such expensive top-quality ingredients.
Only the extremely wealthy dare to have a meal here occasionally.
"Just eat your food, why are you talking so much nonsense!"
Zhou Can rolled his eyes. As a rich second-generation, he knew something about all kinds of delicious food.
Mr. Cui received him with great respect, so how could he not know?
When it comes to making friends, besides fate, the only thing left is sincerity.
Friendship based on profit, when the profit is gone, people will part. Friendship based on power, when the power is gone, people will fall. Only friendship based on the heart can make the friendship last.
Zhou Can looked at the time and it was getting late.
After taking a shower, he began to design the decoration of the living room for Mr. Cui on the computer.
I was going to draw it on paper.
Later I thought it might be better to draw it on a computer.
It also saves me from having to make another trip to deliver the drawings to Mr. Cui.
…
The next day, when he went to work at the hospital, he was still thinking about the cause of Qiu Jie's illness.
But I still have no clue.
He decided to ask Dr. Xu to take a look.
As one of the three famous surgeons, he was once a first-class chief physician. He must not only be good at surgery, but also have good diagnostic skills. His knowledge and experience are many times more than Zhou Can.
After examining it, Dr. Xu shook his head.
"The patient's blood potassium data, intravenous pyelography, and electrocardiogram are all normal. So the patient's lesion is likely in the nerves, but as you know, nerves are not like blood vessels. Unless obvious symptoms such as compression, atrophy, and necrosis are found, it is difficult to detect it through modern scientific means. I am not an expert in this area. If this patient is your relative or a good friend, you can shamelessly ask Director Yin Hua of the Neurology Department to take a look."
Every famous doctor has his or her own strengths.
Dr. Xu's area of expertise is surgery and operations, and he knows very little about neurology, which is known to be the most difficult field.
Probably not better than Zhou Can.
"Okay, I'll go find him after work! Thank you, teacher!"
Zhou Can was not disappointed, as this matter was originally intended to learn something.
It would be best if we could find the cause of the problem, but if we can't, then that's Qiu Jie's fate.
…
In the emergency operating room, Dr. Lu arrived early.
Unlike usual, there was a hint of heaviness on his face, and the hint of sadness between his brows could not be concealed.
In the past, he might have relied on his seniority and always wanted to suppress outstanding newcomers like Zhou Can.
He even thought he was very good at one point and was preparing to be promoted to attending physician this year.
It was not until yesterday that he truly realized the current situation.
It turns out his surgical skills are so poor.
The two newcomers he had looked down upon were now stronger than him, especially Zhou Can, who was surprisingly strong.
You know, he saw with his own eyes that Zhou Can completed many level 2 operations alone.
Now he has to consider how to avoid being eliminated.
Dr. Xu soon walked into the operating room with an expressionless face.
"Xiao Zhou, Jin Mingxi, each of you will take a nurse to perform the surgery. Xiao Zhou, you also attended the meeting yesterday, so your Level 2 surgery qualification will have to be suspended. If you want to participate in the important part of Level 2 surgery, I'm afraid you can only wait until you obtain a practicing physician certificate."
Doctor Xu said somewhat helplessly.
The person who was most saddened when seeing his beloved disciple’s development being restricted was not Zhou Can, but Dr. Xu.
Before obtaining a practicing physician certificate, one is called a medical practitioner.
Once you get it, you are a doctor.
The surgical tasks that can be participated in can also be upgraded by one level.
"Teacher, it's okay. I will do the first-level surgery well first to lay a solid foundation. When I get the certificate, I can do the second-level surgery more steadily and better."
For Zhou Can, there is an experience value system.
Without performing secondary surgeries, it would be difficult to earn experience points except for advanced medical skills, but several basic medical skills would not be affected too much.
He is just like lime.
The more his enemies poured cold water on him, the more his anger boiled.
After a year, if he could improve several basic medical skills to the level of an excellent attending physician, or even a deputy director, then he would be more than ten times better than he is now.
Sooner or later, I will give Director Xie a big surprise.
Doctor Xu nodded and said, "It's best that you think so! A sapling that grows in adversity will be stronger." Doctor Xu was afraid that he would be hit hard by this incident and develop negative emotions.
This will affect his work enthusiasm.
Now it seems that this apprentice is more powerful than imagined.
The psychological quality is far superior to that of ordinary people.
Unable to bend or break, with unyielding tenacity and progress.
"Doctor Lu, you will be my assistant."
"OK!"
Dr. Lu did not feel any dissatisfaction this time and accepted it with pleasure.
This is the change that comes after recognizing reality.
If you don't adjust your mindset, you won't have any chance at all.
Qiao Yu and Li Shishi quickly walked into the operating room.
If you want to have a say, you still have to have strength!
If Zhou Can had not been so good at surgery, Dr. Xu and Director Lou would not have been able to help him get Qiao Yu to be his assistant.
Qiao Yu has been on the early shift for the past two weeks.
Zhou Can just felt so happy.
Every day, I can perform surgery with a beautiful female nurse who is the best match for me, which makes me happy all day long. The efficiency of the surgery is also very good.
"Don't worry, one day I will make her my exclusive equipment nurse. I believe this day won't be too far away, maybe even less than three years."
Qiao Yu walked quickly towards Zhou Can.
With a smile, she said, "Hi, your old partner is here again!"
"Haha, welcome!"
Zhou Can responded with a smile.
"It's just a welcome, but I still need to work hard. I hope you'll be happy as soon as I show up." She successfully got the early shift for two weeks, and it was obvious that she was very happy.
After finding out yesterday that it was Zhou Can who helped her get the early shift, she seemed to become closer to Zhou Can.
I can’t say.
Just looking at Zhou Can's eyes, the tone of his voice, and the content of his speech, they were obviously much more intimate than before.
“Haha, I’m looking forward to that day.”
In fact, Zhou Can was very happy when he saw her appear.
Jin Mingxi was also extremely happy today, with a smile on his face.
The operation began quickly.
Zhou Can and Jin Mingxi both began to perform the surgery desperately.
He found that after Jin Mingxi's independent surgery qualification was suspended for a period of time, his level not only did not decline, but improved a lot.
Practicing the 'basic skills of steadying the knife' has already shown some results.
During the surgery, Jin Mingxi was obviously more stable than before.
Let’s look at Dr. Xu again.
Dr. Lu put away all his pride and impetuosity, and in order to stay, he even asked Dr. Xu for advice on skin suturing techniques. This behavior was really surprising.
Zhou Can remembered that when he first came, Dr. Lu was still very angry and dissatisfied.
He simply looked down upon work like sewing leather.
…
A day of surgery went by very quickly.
Zhou Can had a good assistant, and with the speed increase brought by practicing with the sharp knife, he performed a total of 24 first-level operations today.
Broke the previous record.
Jin Mingxi made a total of sixteen units.
Although he had eight fewer machines than Zhou Can, he performed very steadily today.
The entire surgical process was carried out slowly and steadily.
It seemed as if the scene of Dr. Xu and Director Hu Kan competing in the past was replaying itself.
But now they have been replaced by two newcomers, Jin Mingxi and Zhou Can.
One of them has a steady style, and the other has a fast style. It will take ten or twenty years to know the final outcome of the competition.
After get off work, Zhou Can went straight to the Department of Neurology.
He wanted to ask Director Yin Hua to help look at Qiu Jie's examination report.
Director Yin Hua’s expert appointments are limited every day and cost 800 yuan each.
There is a gap between this and the top expert number which costs 1200 each, but this is already pretty awesome.
Director Yin is currently the chief physician with the highest medical achievements in the field of neurology at Tuya Hospital. His medical skills and diagnostic ability are also the trump cards of neurology.
From this we can see that as the medical field continues to be segmented, Chinese doctors are catching up with those in developed countries around the world.
Many doctors have begun to delve deeper and study diligently in a particular medical field.
As long as you can reach an extremely high level in a certain sub-field, you can become the ace of a discipline.
Status, income, and reputation will all be guaranteed.
The current top expert consultation fee in China is around 1,200 yuan, and the specific pricing is based on a set of strict assessment criteria.
Zhou Can has even heard that a registration fee for an appointment with a top expert is 2,000 yuan.
He has not yet found a public hospital like Tuya.
At the Hospital of Shinnei, the number of inpatients is already overcrowded.
Zhou Can had interned in internal medicine and knew where the neurosurgeon's office was, but he didn't know where Director Yin's office was.
He decided to ask a nurse.
"Hello, beautiful lady! Can I ask where Director Yin Hua works?"
The freckled nurse looked up and slapped him in the face.
"Are you a doctor in this hospital?"
Zhou Can felt depressed.
His internship in the internal medicine department was three months in total. Although he only stayed in some departments for half a month, this female nurse actually forgot about him.
Fortunately, I used to say hello to them often when I was at work.
Now I understand that if you are not a resident doctor or above, the girl will just respond politely. She is not prepared to remember you at all.
It’s not their fault, there are so many interns.
Moreover, they have no status and low income, and the female nurses look down on them.
If I can make it to the level of a resident doctor, maybe I’ll be able to catch their eyes.
If they are at the first level, they will definitely take the initiative to remember your appearance and name.
"A resident trainee in our hospital's emergency department."
Zhou Can even came here wearing a white coat. At this moment, he could only take the initiative to show his work badge.
Otherwise, the nurse would definitely answer him with official jargon.
"I'm from the emergency room! What do you want to do with Director Yin?" When she heard that he was from the emergency room, her tone immediately became much colder, and there was obvious contempt in her eyes.
Tuya's emergency department is really just a transit point amid the fierce competition from other powerful departments.
They are quite weak.
The status is so low that it makes people want to cry.
"I want to consult him on some medical issues."
After hearing Zhou Can's answer, the nurse's eyes turned white.
"Is that so... you should ask another doctor! I'm not sure either. But Director Yin is very busy, and I'm afraid he won't see you even if he finds one. If you have any medical questions, it's best to consult your senior physician."
She declined politely.
I'm afraid I've already thought of Zhou Can as a guy with a short circuit in his brain.
How can it be so easy to meet Director Yin?
If all the interns, residents and attending physicians in the hospital came to him for advice when they encountered problems, he would probably not be able to answer them all even if he didn't work.
At this time, two young doctors walked quickly over there.
We were still chatting about something as we walked.
From time to time, someone would take the initiative to greet one of them.
"Hello, Doctor Gao!"
"Doctor Gao, are you going to the inpatient department?"
"Doctor Gao, you work so hard!"
Those aloof nurses and even young doctors took the initiative to greet him, treating him like a star.
The nurse who was talking to Zhou Can also smiled and waved at her.
"Hi, Dr. Gao!"
Zhou Can also enjoyed this kind of treatment in the emergency department. He was a little curious about who this Dr. Gao was and why he was so popular in the neurology department.
"Dr. Zhou! Haha, I am not seeing things, it is really you!"
The two looked at each other, and Gao Jian showed a happy smile on his face as if he had seen an old friend.
"Doctor Gao knows him?"
The female nurse then realized that this emergency department intern whom she had despised seemed to be no simple person.
