Chapter 295: Explaining the medical principles, I have learned
Li Quan glanced at the other person's work badge.
It turns out that the female doctor's name is Li Manzi, and she is at the director level.
Being promoted to the director level in a top-level tertiary hospital like Huier Hospital at the age of 40 shows extraordinary ability.
In some smaller hospitals, a resident physician with 5 years of experience can be promoted to attending physician, an attending physician with 5 years of experience can be promoted to associate chief physician, and an associate chief physician with 5 years of experience can be promoted to chief physician.
In a place like Huier Hospital where only the best of the best gather, everyone here is the elite among the elites and the competition is extremely fierce.
If you want to be promoted to an important title such as director, you must not only pass the senior professional title assessment and a series of assessments, but also have outstanding professional capabilities and obtain approval from the hospital and the Health Bureau.
Some doctors may meet all the requirements, but the number of places is limited.
Then you have to queue up.
Sometimes someone who is better than you appears and may cut in line.
In addition, China is a society based on personal relationships. Professional title promotion is extremely important for a doctor, and it is closely linked to salary, benefits, and industry status.
It is conceivable that some doctors who meet the qualifications and abilities, and happen to have some background or connections, may use their connections to lend a helping hand secretly.
There are people looking after you from above, so there is no room for negotiation if you cut in line.
It is considered impressive to be promoted to associate chief physician before the age of 40.
Dr. Li Manzi is already a chief physician at the age of about 40. I am afraid there are only a few such doctors in the entire Huier Hospital.
Unless you are a highly educated overseas returnee like Professor Sun Limin.
And they can’t be just ordinary returnees.
Only the super elites among overseas returnees can reach the level of Professor Sun Limin.
It is not clear what Chief Physician Li Manzi's educational background is, but it is definitely not low.
But compared with Professor Sun Limin, there is definitely a big gap.
Therefore, her professional ability should be outstanding. In terms of academics, she should be at least top-notch.
"Doctor Li asked about the patient's blood type. Does that mean she needs a blood transfusion?" Chief Physician Li Manzi asked curiously.
Since she is the girl's attending physician, it means that she is most likely in charge of the pediatric hematology department.
She also has extensive experience in treating leukemia.
Maybe not as good as Director Qin, but not much worse.
What effect can blood transfusion have on leukemia patients?
The patient is not losing too much blood, but his hematopoietic system is suppressed and has problems.
Li Quan is too young after all. Although he has become a little famous now, she is still a little worried.
"I need a medicine called placenta. The mother's blood type must be the same as that of the sick child. It will be needed during acupuncture," Li Quan explained.
The puzzled expression on Director Li Manzi's face disappeared.
Her eyes lit up, revealing a strong curiosity.
As a senior doctor, he naturally knows what the medicine placenta is.
"Doctor Li wants to use the hematopoietic stem cells contained in the placenta to treat the sick child? No, hematopoietic stem cells need to be strictly matched. Just matching the blood type is not enough."
She became more and more curious.
"Chinese medicine is profound and extensive. Its medical principles have similarities and differences with modern Western medicine. How should I describe the specific medical effect of this medicine? Western medicine technology is to implant hematopoietic stem cells into the patient's body, so the requirements are very strict. In donor selection, it is necessary to first use serological methods to perform HLA tests on compatriots. When the results are not much different, lymphocyte culture is performed to detect the D locus and verify HLA matching."
"However, Chinese medicine does not require the implantation of hematopoietic stem cells into the patient's body. Instead, it uses drugs to stimulate the vitality of the patient's existing hematopoietic stem cells, allowing the hematopoietic stem cells that were originally suppressed and inhibited by leukemia cells to regain vitality. This is equivalent to supporting the hematopoietic stem cells in the patient's body and making them stronger, thereby defeating leukemia cells."
Li Quan explained the medical principles in detail.
The approach of Western medicine is to give a man a fish, while the approach of Traditional Chinese Medicine is to teach a man how to fish.
It is clear at a glance who is strong and who is weak.
In fact, from the concepts of Chinese and Western medicine in treating leukemia, it can be seen that Chinese medicine is superior to Western medicine and is the master of Western medicine.
In other words, the advanced medical techniques that foreigners think they have developed have only touched the threshold of traditional Chinese medicine. They haven't even entered the door yet.
"Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading! I have learned a lot!"
Director Li Manzi bowed deeply to Li Quan. The expression on her face was the gratitude and excitement of a student after his confusion was enlightened by the teacher and he was able to understand it.
"No, no, I'm just explaining my understanding of the concepts of traditional Chinese medicine." Li Quan dodged to the side in panic, waving his hands repeatedly.
He also didn't expect that Director Li Manzi, who was of such a high status, would give such a great gift to him, a small resident doctor, in front of so many doctors, patients and their families.
"Really? The TCM treatment of leukemia that Dr. Li just explained has given me a whole new understanding and knowledge of TCM. It has opened a new window for my pursuit of medical knowledge. I have studied medicine for decades and have been studying the treatment of childhood leukemia for 17 years. Since I learned about leukemia when I was a student, the knowledge I have learned about leukemia is that leukemia is caused by the crazy replication and proliferation of leukemia cells, which leads to the inhibition and destruction of normal hematopoietic cells."
"I have learned that there are only two ways to treat leukemia. The first is to kill leukemia cells by any means possible. The second is to replace hematopoietic stem cells that have lost their function."
"Now that I have listened to Dr. Li's theory of traditional Chinese medicine, I am shocked to find that I have fallen into a dead end in my thinking. For so many years, I have never thought of supporting those diseased hematopoietic stem cells and helping them recover their fighting power."
“My thinking is too rigid.”
"Dr. Li, I am so grateful to you. I think I will benefit from it for the rest of my life."
Director Li Manzi had a serious look on her face and her gratitude towards Li Quan was beyond words.
The most terrifying thing about a person is not having no thoughts, but that his thoughts are stuck in a fixed deadlock.
A scientist did an experiment.
A fish is kept in a fish tank. At first, the fish swims around in the tank, looking quite happy.
The scientists then added a transparent glass partition in the middle of the fish tank, dividing it in two. The fish's activity area was also reduced by half.
It can only swim at the left end of the fish tank.
At first, it was a little uncomfortable and tried to crash into the transparent glass partition, but failed every time.
After a few days, it already knew that it couldn't get through the transparent glass wall .
Hitting it would hurt and would injure it.
It learned its lesson and stayed obediently in the left end area of the fish tank.
The scientists observed the fish for several days and found that it had become obedient. Then they thought of a way to strengthen the fish's mindset that the glass wall was insurmountable.
The scientists put some of the fish's favorite fish food into the water at the right end of the fish tank.
Because the glass partition is transparent, the fish can see clearly.
Tempted by food, it became restless again.
Start trying to hit the glass wall in the middle of the fish tank again.
The result is predictable. It hit its mouth and bled, but still couldn't get through. Instead of eating the food, it got injured and was in terrible pain.
Once again, it realized that the glass partition in front could not be passed through.
Then after a while, it couldn't help but try again.
Still got a bloody head.
After repeating this many times, fixed thinking is formed in its brain.
Until one day, the scientists removed the glass partition. However, no matter how delicious the fish food was thrown into the right end area of the fish tank, it remained unmoved.
Even when it is swimming normally, as long as it reaches the original position of the glass partition wall, it will automatically turn around.
Because the previous idea that it was impossible to cross had already been deeply rooted in its mind.
Director Li Manzi has been studying leukemia for many years, and has always been doing so within the framework of Western medicine, which has also led to a fixed mindset. If Li Quan had not opened another window for her this time, she would probably have to explore within the framework of Western medicine for the rest of her life.
"Director Li, not only you, but even I was enlightened after listening to Xiao Li's medical theory today. I have a new understanding of Chinese medicine and a new positioning for it."
Professor Xie also had an expression of having gained a lot.
As for young doctors like Qin Shuang and Ye Ru, when they looked at Li Quan, they had nothing but admiration.
Even Doctor Zhang, who had just humiliated Li Quan, was convinced.
But this man was too concerned about his reputation. He was convinced in his heart but still looked stubborn on the outside.
His face was dark, as if someone owed him millions.
Li Quan prescribed the necessary medicines.
The dosage is stated.
Only for the herb placenta, the dosage he wrote was very large.
Because this medicine is rather special and difficult to obtain, it is better to prepare more at a time. Next time you give acupuncture treatment to this little girl, you don't have to go through the trouble of looking for placenta.
Of course, there was no need for Li Quan to run errands himself for things like getting medicine.
A nurse and Dr. Ye Ru went to run errands.
"By the way, Doctor Li, what exactly did you come to see me about just now?" Director Qin knew that Li Quan was a very busy man and would definitely not come to her to find the pediatric inpatient area if he had nothing to do.
"Well...if you see a patient with hemophilia, can you let me try Chinese medicine? I made a bet with American experts to see whether Chinese medicine or Western medicine is better at treating hemophilia."
Li Quan made his request somewhat shyly.
The main reason is that he has not yet obtained a practicing physician's certificate and is not qualified to practice medicine independently, which means that he has to ask his superiors for the opportunity to display his medical skills every time.
This is very troublesome.
And it is not of much benefit to his evaluation and promotion.
It is equivalent to helping senior doctors with their work.
The credit belongs to the superior doctors. If you meet a superior doctor with a conscience like Director Zhang of the Emergency Department or Doctor Yang Yu, they will at least give Li Quan some meat to eat. If you meet some superior doctors who are ambitious and black-hearted, I am afraid they will not even give Li Quan a share of soup.
However, as long as the senior doctor is not extremely short-sighted, he will definitely not exhaust all the resources.
Because no one is stupid.
Li Quan helped but didn't get any benefits.
The senior doctor took it all.
Next time I ask Li Quan for help, he will definitely make excuses.
"There are not many patients with hemophilia, and they rarely come to our hospital for treatment. If I encounter one, I will definitely call you." Director Qin agreed immediately.
Director Li Manzi, who was standing nearby, interrupted.
"Doctor Li, can you treat hemophilia? It just so happens that our pediatric hematology department received a little boy with hemophilia yesterday. After taking preventive medicine, the effect was not good. If you can really treat it, I can communicate with the patient's family and see if they are willing to try Chinese medicine."
Director Li Manzi is now very optimistic about Li Quan's skills in traditional Chinese medicine.
Only then did he agree to let Li Quan try Chinese medicine on the little boy.
You know, her proactive agreement to this matter also means that she has to bear the risks and responsibilities involved.
"I can't say it can be cured, but as long as I make sure after the diagnosis that it is not the type that cannot be cured, I will be confident." Li Quan did not dare to say too much.
His medical skills specialize in treating childhood blood diseases, and the cure rate for hemophilia is about 90%.
Among ten patients, one may be incurable.
After all, doctors are human beings, not gods.
"Okay, I will go communicate with the patient's family now. The little boy's mother has been crying all day and her eyes are swollen." Director Li Manzi was very positive about this matter.
If traditional Chinese medicine treatment is really effective, it will be a great thing for children.
…
About twenty minutes later, Director Li Manzi came back.
There was a faint smile on her face.
It seems that the family members’ communication work has been successful.
"Doctor Li, I just communicated with the child's mother. Then the mother called the child's father and grandparents to discuss it, and they agreed to use traditional Chinese medicine for treatment. But they require that the child's life must be guaranteed."
Director Li Manzi stated the requirements.
In the minds of the vast majority of Chinese people, traditional Chinese medicine has degenerated into a low-level quackery.
People have very low trust in traditional Chinese medicine.
The patient's family agreed this time because Western medicine had no effect on the child, so they had no choice but to choose traditional Chinese medicine for treatment.
"Even if the disease cannot be cured, the child's life safety will not be affected in any way. Director Li, don't worry." Li Quan said with certainty.
"Well, that's fine. When do you think it would be more convenient to treat the little boy? I can arrange it."
Director Li Manzi saw Li Quan's serious statement. Both his firm tone and confident expression made her feel relieved.
"As for treatment, why not do it now? After I finish treating the little boy, I will come back to treat the leukemia of this little girl." Li Quan thought about it and set a time.
Because the placenta needed to treat this little girl's leukemia may not be available so soon.
Instead of waiting here, it would be better to cure the little boy's hemophilia first.
"Director Li, please go and make the arrangements first. I don't have any other requirements. I just need a separate quiet room. To treat the little boy, both acupuncture and Chinese medicine will be used. Chinese medicine needs to be boiled and taken orally. At that time, I'm afraid the prescription will have to be written in the name of my teacher, Professor Liu."
Li Quan explained the requirements and treatments.
To prescribe Chinese medicine, the doctor needs to obtain a license to practice Chinese medicine.
If you only prescribe Chinese patent medicine, a practicing physician's certificate for Western medicine will be enough.
The hospital has strict regulations on this point.
No one dares to mess around.
Director Li Manzi doesn't know much about Chinese medicine and definitely doesn't have a Chinese medicine practitioner certificate, so we have to ask Professor Liu for help.
In other words, Li Quan has a great reputation and is highly valued by Professor Liu, so he can do this.
If I change to another doctor, it will definitely not work.
