Chapter 222: More Haste, Less Speed
Li Quan felt bitter, it was true that people were afraid of becoming famous just like pigs were afraid of getting fat.
He had indeed learned a lot of Chinese medicine skills, and had a basic understanding of Chinese medicine theory, but he didn't have the ability to prescribe medicine for Sophie.
"Director Qin, you think too highly of me. I don't even have a practicing physician license yet, so how can I be qualified to prescribe medicine for people?" Li Quan would never dare to agree casually.
"Is that so? Just now, when the dean called all the department heads to a high-level meeting overnight, he specifically praised Doctor Li's Chinese medicine skills. You can even treat patients with 'immortal cancer', so are you afraid to prescribe medicine? If you are worried about being punished, just prescribe in my name."
Director Qin narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Quan mischievously.
What is the immortal cancer? It refers to brain stem hemorrhage.
Because brainstem hemorrhage can easily cause the patient to become a vegetative state, paralyzed, cognitively impaired, etc. Patients who have had brainstem hemorrhage are generally very miserable and can only lie in bed like a living dead for the rest of their lives.
That’s why doctors call brainstem hemorrhage the immortal cancer.
It won’t kill you, but it can’t be cured.
That's what it means.
Sophie's family looked at Li Quan in shock. How could he be incompetent if he was personally praised by the dean at a high-level meeting?
They now finally understood why Li Quan had such a high status in Huier Hospital, a top-level Class 3A hospital. It was not because of the director's reputation, but because of his own ability.
Su Bingran remembered that Li Quan had taken Sophie's pulse and was able to conclude that Sophie had leukemia.
I couldn't help but think even more highly of Li Quan's Chinese medicine skills.
"Li Quan, please prescribe a prescription for Xiaofei." Sophie's mother advised.
"Let Sophie do chemotherapy first. I will study it carefully based on the subsequent situation and see what prescription is needed for auxiliary treatment." If Li Quan continued to refuse, it would definitely cause misunderstanding among Sophie's parents.
I had no choice but to agree.
Next, Li Quan accompanied his girlfriend through chemotherapy.
In fact, it is the method of infusion, where chemical drugs are dripped into the patient's body through the vein.
"Doctor Li, just leave one family member here to accompany me. I estimate that the entire infusion will last more than ten hours. There are doctors and nurses here to take care of me 24 hours a day. It's okay, don't worry."
Director Qin cares about them very much.
Treating leukemia is a long-term war, and we must be prepared to fight a protracted war.
"Xiao Li, you still have to go to work tomorrow, go back and rest first. Bingran, you should also go home and have a good rest. I'll be here to watch over you, and I'll call you if there's anything else."
Sophie's mother advised the two to go back first.
"Quan, Dad, you guys go back. Mom is here to take care of me. Nothing will happen." Sophie also bravely advised with a smile.
"Okay, I'll come back tomorrow to replace your mother." Su Bingran nodded .
"Bingran, please send Xiao Li home. It's so late and it's hard to get a taxi." Sophie's mother now really began to care about Li Quan.
"No, no, I live close to the hospital, and I can walk there in a few minutes." Li Quan waved his hands. "Sophie, I will come to the hospital to see you early tomorrow."
"Well, make sure you get some rest."
Sophie watched Li Quan leave, her eyes full of attachment and affection.
It was the love between her and Li Quan that gave her the courage to challenge the disease.
…
When I got home from the hospital, it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening.
The rental house was quiet, and Han Dong actually ran out to find his girlfriend again. This guy must be enjoying himself now.
"Dongzi, are you hanging out with your girlfriend again?" Li Quan was somewhat worried and sent a message to Han Dong.
"Hehe, what else! You just have to endure the long nights one by one." Han Dong must have been smiling proudly when he replied.
Dare you show off in front of Li Quan?
"Three seconds, three seconds..."
Li Quan was furious and sent an evil message.
Then Han Dong added an expression of holding a knife and chopping someone, and there was no response.
Li Quan shook his head and smiled. In this foreign land of Shanghai, he only had Han Dong as his good brother. He didn't know how Han Dong's job search was going.
The pressure to survive in Shanghai, a first-tier city, is quite high.
Li Quan can't help Han Dong at all now.
It depends on how Han Dong plans it.
In the future, when Li Quan has the ability, he will definitely help this good brother.
After taking a bath, Li Quan sat on the bed, but did not go to sleep immediately. Instead, he picked up Qian Yi's medical book and read it attentively.
What we have to do now is to fight against the sky and gain 100 points of Qian Yi's favorability in the shortest time possible.
I have read half of the third volume of Qian's Pediatric Prescriptions.
Last time, I gained an extra 10 points of favorability by solving a difficult problem left by the author of the book.
If he had known this earlier, Li Quan would definitely not exchange those 10 points of favorability for pediatric bone therapy.
It’s too late to say anything now, I can only try my best to earn new favorability.
He stayed up until about 2 a.m. and was so sleepy that his reading efficiency became very low.
Li Quan also understood that being so anxious would only lead to delays.
He understands that more haste makes waste.
…
Li Quan got up at six o'clock the next morning.
His head was still a little dizzy due to sleeping very late last night.
According to medical theory, you must go to bed before 11 o'clock.
Once you miss out on time, you’ll need to spend more than twice as much time to make up for it.
After washing my face, my dizzy head felt much clearer.
I work in the emergency department, so I definitely don't have much time to read during the day.
However, Li Quan still carried the third volume of Qian's Pediatric Prescriptions with him.
On the way to the hospital, Li Quan kept his head down, thinking about something.
Or just quit.
Of course, it would be best if your request for a long leave from the hospital could be approved.
Having worked at Huier Hospital for so long, many doctors have been very nice to him and he has developed a deep affection for Huier Hospital.
Unless it is absolutely necessary, he really can't bear to give up this hard-earned good job.
After arriving at the hospital, Li Quan went straight to the cafeteria and bought three breakfasts, one of which was a nutritious breakfast specially prepared for Sophie.
It was not yet time for work, so he arrived at the hospital more than an hour early just to be with Sophie.
When we arrived at the ward, Sophie's mother was sitting beside the bed and fishing non-stop.
After all, I am in my forties and can't endure as long as young people.
Sophie fell asleep peacefully on the hospital bed.
Li Quan looked at the chemotherapy drugs that were still dripping slowly. There was still a lot left and it would probably take another two or three hours to finish.
Generally speaking, the side effects of the first and second chemotherapy are not obvious.
Because my physical condition was good at that time.
Later on, the side effects of chemotherapy became more and more serious.
"Xiao Li is here!"
Sophie's mother was quite alert and she noticed Li Quan as soon as he walked into the ward.
"Auntie, is Sophie okay?" Li Quan put the breakfast on the bedside cabinet.
"Well, there was no abnormal reaction." Sophie's mother stood up, moved around, and rubbed her eyes which had severe dark circles.
"Auntie, this is the breakfast I just bought. I bought three servings in total. Please have some. I still have an hour and a half to go to work. If you don't want to eat breakfast, you can go to the bench outside and take a nap."
Under the current circumstances, Sophie's mother must not let her health be ruined.
Because Sophie needs her to take care of her.
Whether it is Li Quan or Su Bingran, they are men after all, and it is definitely not convenient for them to take care of Sophie.
"Thanks!"
Sophie's mother was not polite, she really might not be able to bear it anymore.
At this time, Sophie still didn't wake up. Li Quan sat beside the bed and looked at her quietly while eating breakfast.
I hope this chemotherapy can achieve satisfactory results.
