Chapter 203: Doctors are human beings, not gods
Li Quan secretly laughed at the conversation between the two people. Director Zhang is really capable.
He cured the arrogant and overly cautious Doctor Fu without making any noise.
While eating, he was thinking about how to improve the business of the specialty orthopedic clinic.
Didn't Doctor Fu look down on him? Didn't he say that his specialty orthopedic clinic would never work? Li Quan was determined to prove his point.
He cured two patients this morning and earned a total of 15 skill points.
【Children’s osteopathy, entry level 26%. 】
He looked at the experience points of bone therapy. At this rate, it should only take three or four days to upgrade to the minor success level.
By then, he will be able to cure some more difficult bone diseases.
The reputation of the specialty orthopedics will also become more famous.
After dinner, Li Quan returned to the clinic to watch over the patient.
Now he dared not allow himself to be idle, mainly because he was afraid of thinking of Sophie.
It's not so easy to let go of a relationship.
As long as he is free, he can't help thinking about her, and his thoughts will come like a tide. He will keep thinking about the real reason why she chose to break up.
Just when Li Quan was thinking about applying for some auxiliary treatment equipment from the department after his business improved and he had a say, a middle-aged man in his fifties, with a slightly hunched back, was outside, looking in.
This man doesn't look sick.
Could it be a family member?
Li Quan didn't care either.
He glanced at the patient calmly and continued to think about what equipment he should add to his clinic.
We can only apply for cheap and urgently needed treatment equipment first.
There are two purposes for installing these devices: one is to facilitate treatment, and the other is to generate income for the clinic.
The clinic income of several thousand yuan a day is simply an insult to Huier Hospital's reputation as a top tertiary hospital.
At least you have to generate more than 100,000 yuan in revenue a day to have some status in the hospital.
"Hello, are you the Dr. Li from TikTok?"
The middle-aged man, who was about fifty years old, asked timidly.
"I don't dare to call myself a miracle doctor. I am Li Quan, an emergency doctor. Is there anything I can help you with?" Li Quan didn't expect that this person had deliberately come to him after watching the short video on Douyin.
He immediately looked up and looked at the man carefully.
Out of his doctor's instinct, he has used his visual diagnosis skills to make a preliminary diagnosis of the middle-aged man.
"The patient has a slightly hunched back and needs to raise his neck to look at people. He needs to hold on to the wall with his hands when he stands. Occasionally, a trace of pain appears on his face... This patient has a problem with his waist."
Li Quan's diagnosis skills by observation cannot be said to be particularly impressive, but he has no problem diagnosing some relatively simple diseases.
"If the internal organs in the waist are diseased, it is impossible to stand up straight. The lesion is likely in the lumbar spine. Older people are generally more susceptible to diseases such as lumbar disc hyperplasia."
[You have successfully performed the art of visual diagnosis, skill points +10. ]
Li Quan was even more certain that the patient suffered from lumbar disc herniation.
"Doctor Li, can you really use your hands to restore diseases like bone dislocations?" The middle-aged man walked closer and asked tentatively.
Doctor Luo sat nearby and looked at the patient curiously.
He looks like a normal person. Which joint is dislocated?
Li Quan smiled gently and said, "Uncle, do you want me to help you with your lumbar spine?"
"Hey, you are indeed a miracle doctor. You only looked at me for a few seconds, and I didn't even tell you what disease I had or where I felt pain. But you knew I came to treat my lumbar disease. That's amazing."
The middle-aged man was shocked and gave Li Quan a thumbs up.
"Haha, uncle, thank you for the compliment. Please sit down and tell me about your situation." Li Quan was particularly gentle to this Douyin fan.
"I have had lumbar disease for several years. I have been to many hospitals. Some doctors said that I could get better by taking some medicine for a few courses. Some doctors said that I needed surgery to remove the hyperplastic bones. I have taken a lot of medicine and tried many folk remedies, but it has never been cured. If I want to have surgery, the cost is high, and I heard that the recurrence rate is also very high, and the risk is particularly high. I dare not do it."
After the uncle sat down, the smell of long-term western medicine emanated from his mouth as soon as he opened it.
Almost all Western medicines cannot be taken for a long time, otherwise they will seriously disrupt the body's balance and bring various adverse effects, such as insomnia, constipation and so on.
Chinese medicine should not be taken for a long time, let alone taken indiscriminately.
It is true that all medicines are poisonous.
However, compared with Western medicine, Chinese medicine is much less harmful to the body, and the negative effects are generally reversible.
You will return to normal after stopping the medication for a period of time.
"Uncle, can I take your pulse first?" Li Quan asked.
"Yes, of course!"
The middle-aged man put his hand on the table.
"Doctor Li, I also saw the short video you posted on Douyin of someone resetting a bone, and I thought you were a skilled doctor. That's why I came here specially to ask for your help."
Li Quan nodded and carefully took the patient's pulse.
The pulse is weak and floating, much more urgent than that of a normal person.
This uncle has been taking various Western medicines and folk prescriptions for a long time, which has caused considerable damage to his body. If he continues like this, it is only a matter of time before his body collapses.
Li Quan learned from his failure and decided not to rush to offer any words of advice.
I'll give you a better answer after I've done various tests on the patient.
Otherwise, patients will complain again.
He carefully felt the pulse at a more subtle and deeper level. The pulse at the lumbar vertebrae L4-5 was obviously abnormal.
Tight and thin, indicating that the blood vessels there are compressed.
If the diagnosis is correct, there should be hyperplasia in the L4-5 lumbar vertebrae.
This is also known as the first type of lumbar disc herniation, the bulging type of lesion.
"Uncle, if you are going to receive treatment here, you need to do a CT scan first. I want to understand the condition of your lumbar spine and then make further diagnosis."
Li Quan said.
"Doctor, aren't you a miracle doctor? Can't you make a diagnosis by just touching me with your hands?" The middle-aged man was somewhat reluctant.
"I want to emphasize that I am not a miracle doctor. I am just an ordinary emergency doctor. Palpation can only provide a preliminary diagnosis, but if you want a definitive diagnosis, you need to use an instrument to scan."
Li Quan was willing to examine the patient first even though he had not registered yet because he saw that the patient was a fan of Douyin.
Now it can be seen that the middle-aged man's attitude is not good, and it is obvious that he is here with the mentality of getting a bargain.
Then you must never indulge her again.
Everyone needs to eat, and no one can work for nothing.
"If I have completed the examination, can you definitely cure my illness?" the middle-aged man asked again.
"Uncle, we doctors are human, not gods. If you ask me if I can definitely cure you, I can't guarantee it. But doctors are kind-hearted, and I will definitely do my best to treat you."
Li Quan explained patiently.
"If you can't guarantee that you can cure it, then why are you asking me to do any tests? Isn't this obviously a scam? I know that the so-called miracle doctors on TikTok are all scammers."
The uncle didn't say a word of gratitude, but instead cursed a few unpleasant words and left.
Li Quan was a little angry.
This patient looked honest and cowardly, but who knew he was so unreasonable. I must learn from this lesson and never be kind-hearted again and do such thankless things.
Watching the old man leave with a confused look on his face, Li Quan shook his head.
There must be something hateful about a pitiful person.
He couldn't help the uncle.
