Chapter 342: The first order, the ultimate experience

Just imagine, how much revenue can the hematology department generate by treating a leukemia patient? At least tens of thousands of yuan, and the higher ones can even reach more than one million yuan.

How could it possibly send the patient to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department?

This concerns the vital interests of every doctor and nurse in the department.

Not to mention orthopedics.

The orthopedics department of Huier Hospital has been declining and has been criticized every year. The director of the orthopedics department and the medical staff probably wish that all the patients with headaches and fevers could be sent to the orthopedics department for treatment.

It wants to snatch patients from other departments, so why would it give orthopedic patients to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department?

Li Quan's Traditional Chinese Medicine Department had just opened, and the situation was quite difficult.

If there is no business for a month, the dean will probably have a talk with him.

A hospital is not a charity, how can it possibly employ a few doctors and nurses for free?

Many departments of Huier Hospital have been closed or merged.

Market competition is the same everywhere, cruel and realistic.

If the TCM department starts off with a high profile, and then ends up in disgrace after a month or two, not only will Professor Liu and Professor Tang be laughed at, but Li Quan will also become a big joke.

However, considering yesterday's grand press conference, the hospital probably won't close the TCM department even if its business is really declining.

It is very likely that the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department will be merged into which department.

By that time, Li Quan would no longer be the head of the department, but a younger brother living under someone else's roof.

Always look at other people's faces.

Li Quan absolutely doesn't want to see this kind of thing.

"Even if the teacher greeted me today and sent some patients to me, I can't do this every day. I have to take the initiative."

Li Quan started thinking about it.

How can a living person be suffocated to death by urine? We have to find a way.

If you have enough face, you can just say hello to the vice president of nursing and resolve the issue in minutes.

However, Li Quan also knew that not only would he not be able to influence the vice president of nursing, even the head nurses would not buy into his ideas.

Forget about giving gifts and sharing profits.

The Traditional Chinese Medicine department has just opened and I’m still barely making ends meet. How can I share the profits with others?

Li Quan is different from other doctors. If he can’t think of a solution in the hospital, he can jump out of the three realms like a zombie, not within the five elements, and directly open up other channels to attract customers.

For example, if he promotes his department on Douyin, it will definitely have a good effect.

By filming a short video of him treating patients in the TCM department and then uploading it to the Internet, he can not only promote his own TCM department, but also let the public witness with their own eyes that TCM can indeed cure diseases.

The effect is particularly good.

At the same time, he can gain a lot of fans and make money by advertising in the future.

Professor Liu is a very influential person, and I don't know who he greeted.

After just over ten minutes, a patient came over with the help of his family.

He was limping, and you could tell at a glance that there was something wrong with his left leg.

He must have come to see the orthopedic department.

Doctor Luo and Li Quan sat here in silence for more than an hour. When they saw the patient coming, their eyes lit up.

Finally, there is business coming and we are about to open.

Hu Yue'er is a girl, so she is a little reserved, but she couldn't hide the joy on her face.

Is the patient in his teens? He is wearing a school uniform, so he must be an elementary school or junior high school student.

Children these days generally develop earlier, and many primary school students are as tall as adults. It's really hard to tell.

The woman supporting the child was a middle-aged woman, about thirty-six or thirty-seven years old.

She already had doubts about this TCM department, and when she arrived at the scene, she was shocked. Oh my god? Why wasn't there a single patient?

Looking again, the two doctors in white coats looked at him and his child like two hungry wolves seeing a big piece of fat meat.

Even the pretty little nurse's expression showed a hint of secret joy.

That was the secret joy of the prey finally appearing.

The middle-aged woman was very nervous.

Could it be a trap?

If it weren't for the good reputation of Huier Hospital and the fact that it was a large tertiary hospital, she would have run away with her child long ago.

"Excuse me, can I see a doctor here?" the middle-aged woman asked warily.

"Yes, yes!" Doctor Luo nodded repeatedly.

The expression was a little excited.

When the middle-aged woman saw that the doctor was unusually enthusiastic, she became more alert.

When you go to the doctor, are those doctors and nurses not cold and indifferent?

As the saying goes, if someone shows you kindness without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief.

She already had the intention to leave.

As soon as this expression appeared, Li Quan knew that something bad was going to happen.

We need to find a way to remedy the situation quickly? Otherwise, the teacher will shamelessly use his connections to bring patients here.

But the patient ran away. Isn't this like leaning against a wall?

"We are doctors. If we can't treat patients, are we just sitting here like Buddhas? Your child has sprained his left leg, right? If we can treat it here, the child doesn't need surgery, will suffer less, and can go back to school right away after being treated. If we can't treat it here, then you can only take him to a Western medicine orthopedic department for surgery."

Li Quan behaved extremely coldly, even a little inhumane.

Severe cases require strong medicine.

This female family member obviously had great distrust in his Traditional Chinese Medicine Department. Dr. Luo didn't show any sign of help and continued to beg for help at this time, shamelessly telling the patient funny things. The patient would definitely turn around and leave.

Why?

I'm worried about meeting a crappy doctor and getting cheated.

Not only will you have to waste extra money, but your children will also suffer.

Li Quan's words sounded cold, but every word struck at the heart of the patient's family.

Parents certainly hope to spend less money and hope that their children will get better quickly, and going back to school is a big deal.

These days, competition is particularly fierce, starting from childhood.

If I have surgery, I won't be able to go back to school for at least a week. How much homework will I miss?

Li Quan diagnosed at first glance that the child had sprained his left leg, which also indirectly proved that Li Quan's medical skills were not bad.

The child's mother was moved by what he said.

Doctor Luo and nurse Hu Yue'er secretly thought that this was bad. If the doctor was so rude to the patient's family, wouldn't the family just turn around and leave? They would probably complain about Doctor Li later.

No wonder Dr. Li is always suspended from the hospital.

How can he not be suspended for treating patients with this attitude?

"Doctor, please take care of my child. He accidentally sprained his ankle while playing football during physical education class." Instead of turning around and leaving, the middle-aged woman smiled ingratiatingly.

Respectfully asked Li Quan to treat her child.

"Come, sit down!"

Li Quan gestured to the boy, who was about 1.6 meters tall, to sit down.

Carefully rolling up the boy's trouser legs and taking off his socks, you can clearly see that his ankles are swollen. The slightest touch makes the child cry out in pain.

"Based on the initial naked eye diagnosis, it should just be a dislocation of the ankle joint. I'll write you a checkup list, and you can take your child to get an X-ray of the sprained ankle first! If there is no bone fracture or something like that, I can use authentic Chinese medicine techniques to correct his bones on the spot, and it will be cured on the spot."

Li Quan firmly grasps the hearts of family members and patients.

He knows what family members and patients want most.

"Okay, thank you doctor!"

The middle-aged woman's attitude towards Li Quan changed from arrogance at the beginning to very polite.

"This is the examination form. You also need to make an outpatient registration first. When registering, please choose the Traditional Chinese Medicine Orthopedic Clinic, Dr. Luo Wenhao." Dr. Luo had already quickly written out the examination form.

Doctor Luo now felt extremely convinced.

Doctor Li is not only an excellent doctor, but also surprisingly good at dealing with patients.

It seems that their success is not accidental.

But he really has the ability.

After the patient and his family left, Hu Yue'er could no longer bear it.

"Doctor Li, why was it that just now when Doctor Luo greeted the patient's family with a smile and warm reception, the patient was unhappy? And when you spoke coldly to the patient, the patient looked happy and showed extra respect to you?"

Hu Yue'er was extremely curious.

"You don't understand? But I have to charge you tuition to teach you!" Li Quan teased her with a smile.

"Just pay it. I'll treat you to a meal after I get my salary next month." Hu Yue'er pouted.

She was just a lowest-level nurse and her salary was not high.

If my home wasn't in Shanghai, with all the rent and other expenses added up, I'm afraid a month's salary would only be enough to support myself.

If she wanted to treat Li Quan to a meal, she would have to find ways to save money in order to raise the money for the treat.

"The little girl is quite unique. Is this the legendary way of regarding money as dirt? Okay, let me explain it to you." Li Quan said with a smile.

These people are the future team members of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department, and Li Quan plans to train them well.

Some skills in dealing with patients are also important.

"In fact, you can get the answer if you put yourself in their shoes. If you were to bring your child to see a doctor and saw that there was no patient in the TCM department, what would you think?"

"When the patient sees how deserted our place is, she will definitely feel a little distrustful. At this time, if you continue to warmly welcome her, she will not be grateful, but will instead think that you have set up some trap here."

"So, the best way is to maintain the aloofness and seriousness that a doctor should have, while showing off your professional skills."

After Li Quan's analysis, Dr. Luo and Hu Yue'er suddenly understood.

"It turns out that there are so many tricks to dealing with patients' families. I heard that you doctors are all top students, and your brains are really different from ordinary people."

Hu Yue'er looked admiring.

Doctor Luo next to him had an unnatural expression.

He is also a doctor, and just now he served as Li Quan's foil.

In the future, I should learn from Li Quan and think more flexibly.

Not long after, the patient came back after the examination.

"Doctor Luo, please take a look. This is the X-ray we just took." The child's mother handed the film to Li Quan.

The examination form and registration just now were both issued in the name of Dr. Luo Wenhao.

The patient's family naturally thought that Li Quan was Dr. Luo.

Doctor Luo, who was sitting next to Li Quan, looked embarrassed. He secretly vowed to work hard to learn bone-setting from Li Quan and become his apprentice as soon as possible.

Otherwise, when a patient comes, his soul will be devastated.

"Oh, my last name is Li, and he is Doctor Luo. At the same time, he is also my superior doctor, and I treat patients under his guidance." Li Quan noticed Doctor Luo's embarrassment and clarified to the patient in a natural manner.

It also gave Dr. Luo enough face.

Dr. Luo was highly praised.

"So that's how it is! Then please both doctors take a look at it." The middle-aged woman said with an apologetic smile.

Li Quan took the X-ray and looked at it carefully.

Fortunately, it was just a common ankle dislocation, and no bones were broken.

"Doctor Luo, please take a look." Li Quan gave the film to Doctor Luo for inspection.

In fact, this is for Dr. Luo to learn.

"Young man, put your right hand flat on the table and I will take your pulse." Li Quan said gently.

"Doctor Li, why do you still need to take my pulse?"

The middle-aged woman was puzzled.

"Don't worry, there is no charge for taking the pulse. We are a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner here, and our diagnosis and treatment methods are different from those of Western medicine. Taking the pulse is a responsibility to the patient. It can check if the patient has some dangerous diseases and ensure that the manual bone-setting is carried out safely."

Li Quan explained.

When the middle-aged woman heard that taking the pulse was free, the expression on her face immediately relaxed a lot.

For patients and their families, the most feared thing is the hospital charging exorbitant fees.

In fact, she didn't know that with Li Quan's current pulse diagnosis skills, if someone knew what he was doing, he might not agree even if he was paid two thousand yuan to diagnose her pulse.

His pulse diagnosis skills have now reached the master level.

Taking a patient's pulse is equivalent to giving the patient a full-body examination.

Li Quan carefully took the teenage boy's pulse without any fluctuation in his expression.

"Your child's other pulses are quite normal, but his pulse is a little weak, which is a symptom of anemia. In the future, make sure to feed him more foods that replenish qi and blood. For example, wolfberry, yam, pork liver, etc. This blood replenishment is particular, and it cannot be replenished all at once, but must be done every day, step by step. As long as his qi and blood are replenished, he will be more energetic in class, and his grades will definitely improve significantly."

Li Quan instructed the middle-aged woman.

"Okay, thank you so much, doctor. When I get home, I will follow your instructions and replenish the child's blood."

The middle-aged woman thanked Li Quan repeatedly.

"Young man, lie down on the bed over there and stretch your legs. Be careful, it will be a little painful when the bones are adjusted, but it will only last for a moment. Be a real man, just bear with it."

Li Quan asked the boy to lie on a special bed for bone setting.

"Doctor Luo, his bone setting skills are elementary. Please also prescribe him three bottles of children's calcium tablets to supplement the calcium necessary for the body, and some anti-inflammatory drugs." Li Quan told Doctor Luo the charging standards.

The charges for Chinese medicine bone setting are different from those for Western medicine.

This bone-setting technique is divided into different levels, the more difficult it is, the more expensive it is.

Especially for the two patients whose bones Li Quan had fixed before, the only cure was surgery in any hospital. But he was so amazing that he could fix the bones manually.

This fee will definitely be much more expensive.

However, compared with surgical treatment, it still has great advantages.

Whether it is the treatment cycle, treatment costs, or patient experience, it is far superior to surgical treatment.

"The basic bone setting for the ankle is 260 yuan, and three bottles of calcium tablets plus anti-inflammatory drugs are 567 yuan, totaling 827 yuan." Doctor Luo wrote out the bill.

The middle-aged woman seemed to think it was a bit expensive and hesitated for a moment.

Li Quan saw what she was thinking.

"Manual bone setting is many times cheaper than surgical treatment. If your child chooses surgical treatment, it will cost at least 1,200 to 2,000 yuan. As for the three bottles of calcium tablets and anti-inflammatory drugs, they look a bit expensive, but the quality is guaranteed. Not only are fake drugs prevalent in drug stores outside, but there are also many miscellaneous brands with national medicine approval numbers. After taking them, the effect is completely incomparable to the calcium tablets from old and regular pharmaceutical companies."

Li Quan explained to her patiently.

"Okay, I can accept this price."

The middle-aged woman finally chose to trust Li Quan and ran to pay the fee.

When the department sells a bottle of calcium tablets, not only does the department get a bonus, but the individual physician can also get an additional commission.

However, there is one thing that Li Quan did not lie to anyone. The medicines sold in the hospital are all from regular manufacturers.

The quality is guaranteed and the therapeutic effect is remarkable.

Countless times more powerful than fake drugs.

"Hu Yue'er, you are responsible for recording the on-site treatment video."

Li Quan gave Hu Yue'er a task.

After the family paid the fee, Li Quan began to correct the child's bones.

Doctor Luo was nominally providing guidance, but in reality he was learning from Li Quan.

Li Quan grabbed the child's heel with one hand and the sole of the foot with the other, turning it slightly to find the reset point.

After finding the right feeling, push hard.

"Gah!"

“Ah…”

The boy screamed like a pig being slaughtered.
