Chapter 347: Whose interests are affected by the terrible ALS?
Hemophilia is mainly a coagulation disorder, so there should not be severe pain when you lift your leg or something like that.
Yang Caixuan had previously been extremely distrustful of Li Quan.
At this moment, all the symptoms that Li Quan described to her came true, and she had complete faith in Li Quan.
A pair of clean, bright black eyes secretly stared at Li Quan.
I didn't even dare to breathe.
It seemed that her fate was in Li Quan's hands.
"I'm not sure what disease your daughter has. It would be better for her to have a neurological examination first. In addition, I suggest an MRI to mainly examine the structure of the spinal cord and the bones and connective tissues that surround and protect the spinal cord."
Now when patients ask Li Quan what disease they have, he would never tell them until it is examined with scientific instruments.
Otherwise, if I am complained by patients and suspended because of this kind of thing again, I will never learn my lesson.
"Neurological examination and spinal cord imaging?" Deputy Director Yang tried hard to think of diseases related to these two aspects, but he was not a professional doctor and could not come up with an answer after thinking for a long time.
Finally had to give up.
"Can you issue these examination applications for my daughter?"
"Can!"
Li Quan nodded happily.
The inspection applications issued by the department also count as department income.
But the calculation of this income is a bit complicated.
The medical and technical departments will take the lion’s share.
The department that opens the application gets the smaller portion.
Originally, it was impossible for their department to apply for Deputy Director Yang's daughter to undergo these examinations.
Now, it can be considered as a small payment to Li Quan for the pulse diagnosis fee.
Li Quan's pulse diagnosis technique, combined with two other diagnostic techniques, is more powerful than modern high-tech instruments.
It can detect diseases related to desire.
If he had not examined Yang Caixuan today, he would not have been able to discover in advance that she was suffering from this terrible disease.
After opening the inspection application form, hand it to the other party.
"Director Yang, you need to do a routine blood test first, and then test the thrombin. Considering that you are very busy, I will prepare it here first. When you finish the examination and bring the results to me, if I see no problem, I can give you treatment immediately."
After Li Quan finished speaking, he looked at the young and beautiful Yang Caixuan.
There was sympathy in his eyes and a look of regret on his face.
"Ms. Yang, you need to do a lot of tests. You also need to do a routine blood test. After your other disease screening is completed, I will treat your hemophilia."
It's such a pity for this girl.
She was so young and beautiful, and it was pitiful enough that she had hemophilia. I didn't expect that she would also suffer from such a terrible disease.
All we can say is that disaster is all around us.
In addition to the ruthlessness of water and fire, disease is equally ruthless.
"Thank you, Dr. Li!"
After she took the examination application form, unexpectedly, she bent down and said thank you to Li Quan for the first time ever.
"Go ahead!"
Li Quan suddenly realized that no matter how proud a person is, as long as they are sick and in front of him, their pride will be vulnerable.
…
While Deputy Director Yang and his daughter were away for an examination, Li Quan edited the short video of him treating several orthopedic patients and uploaded it to TikTok.
A few days ago? Because of the malicious slander and attacks from those black fans, Li Quan lost more than 200,000 fans.
Now? It rose to 2.85 million in just one night.
Not only did he regain the more than 200,000 fans he had lost, but he also gained an additional 450,000 or so.
Yesterday's press conference has already produced initial results.
Following this trend, Li Quan may even become a top internet celebrity.
I heard that if you have over 10 million fans, you can become a first-class internet celebrity.
After posting the three videos on treating bone diseases, Li Quan thought about it, then ran outside the clinic and took pictures of the two clinics of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department.
Unfortunately, there are not many patients now, and the scene is a bit deserted.
If it comes to advertising, a lively medical consultation scene is definitely more attractive.
Because everyone has a herd mentality effect.
Anyone who has set up a stall or run a small business knows that if you only have a small amount of goods, people passing by your stall will just take a look and walk away with a look of disdain on their faces.
What if your goods are piled up like a mountain? As long as the price is right? The flow of people around is also okay.
Hehe? Congratulations? I guarantee that a lot of customers will come to buy your products soon.
This is called selling goods in piles.
This is just a little trick for setting up a stall.
This is enough to show that people like to be lively and have a herd mentality.
"It would be nice to record this quiet scene when the shop just opened. When the business is booming, it can form a sharp contrast." After Li Quan finished filming the video, he ran to the orthopedics department to teach Dr. Luo how to practice bone setting and reduction techniques.
Explain the key points to Dr. Luo in detail.
Then let Dr. Luo take the bionic human skeleton and practice on his own.
Not long after, Deputy Director Yang came back after doing a routine blood test.
It only took about half an hour.
This means that the doctor in the examination department gave Deputy Director Yang a green channel, giving him priority and additional examination time.
Come to think of it.
He's the deputy director of the Health Bureau, a high-ranking official in the department in charge. Naturally, there will be many doctors and nurses rushing to curry his favor.
Water flows to low places, and people go to high places.
With the appreciation and favor of Deputy Director Yang, I will have a say in future promotion opportunities.
Important positions such as the director are not decided by the hospital itself.
Instead, it needs to be determined by the higher-level authorities.
"Doctor Li, this is the result of the examination. Please take a look at it."
Deputy Director Yang handed the inspection results to Li Quan.
"Your hemophilia is type A hemophilia, which is factor VIII procoagulant deficiency, also known as AGH deficiency. It is a sex-linked recessive genetic disease that is passed down in females and occurs in males. Judging from your thrombin test, the situation is not particularly serious. In addition, drug residues for the treatment of hemophilia were found in your blood components. Have you taken any medication recently?"
After looking at the test results, Li Quan had a clear idea in his mind.
Deputy Director Yang's hemophilia can be treated and cured.
"Ha! Last time you told me that I might have hemophilia, I went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor recommended that I take medication, so I took it for a few days. But the effect was a little disappointing."
Deputy Director Yang was somewhat embarrassed.
He must have been too embarrassed to tell others that he had secretly sought treatment from American experts.
"There are indeed many Western medicines for treating hemophilia, and they are indeed effective, but most of them are only symptomatic treatments, not cures. They can only prevent and control the disease, but cannot cure it. It is very troublesome to take medicine every week, or even every two or three days. If taken for a long time, the negative effects will accumulate little by little, causing certain harm to your health."
Li Quan explained to Deputy Director Yang the pros and cons of Western medicine.
"Traditional Chinese medicine is safe and reliable. As long as it works, it can cure the disease. If the treatment is ineffective, there is nothing we can do."
"Okay, thank you Doctor Li for your help."
Deputy Director Yang readily agreed.
I guess he intended to try it on himself first, and if Chinese medicine is indeed safe and effective, then let his daughter receive treatment.
Next, Li Quan gave Deputy Director Yang acupuncture treatment.
But prescribing medicine is still a bit troublesome.
Because neither he nor Ye Gu had the authority to prescribe Chinese medicine.
This Chinese medicine prescription can only be prescribed in the name of Professor Liu.
This also made Li Quan once again determined to get his Chinese medicine practitioner certificate as soon as possible.
…
After more than an hour, Li Quan finished the acupuncture.
"Director Yang, today's acupuncture treatment is enough. Come back for the second acupuncture treatment in three days. In addition, you must remember to take the Chinese medicine on time and in the right amount. If nothing goes wrong, three acupuncture treatments and a course of Chinese medicine will basically cure you. The hospital's reexamination results will be the final word."
Li Quan wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Acupuncture is actually a very tiring thing.
It consumes a lot of physical energy.
Deputy Director Yang got up, put on his clothes, and tried to move around.
"Hey, it's amazing. After acupuncture, I just feel much more relaxed all over. Before, I always felt like my body was filled with lead, it was very difficult to lift my arms and legs, and breathing was also very uncomfortable. Now I feel like I am a dozen years younger. Doctor Li, today I can personally experience the miraculous effect of traditional Chinese medicine!"
Deputy Director Yang smiled very happily.
He is such a smart person, but the physical difference between before and after treatment is very obvious.
Naturally, I realized that the treatment was effective.
Even if you spend over a million on Xen, it won't have the same effect.
If Deputy Director Yang had known that Li Quan’s Chinese medicine skills were so impressive, he would not have been the scapegoat.
When he thought of this, a murderous look appeared on Deputy Director Yang's face.
He is not someone who is willing to suffer losses.
He was stabbed by a foreigner, and he stretched his neck to be stabbed. Besides feeling aggrieved, he also felt a trace of resentment.
"Cai Xuan, are your test results out? What disease do you have?"
Deputy Director Yang saw his daughter sitting outside waiting for him.
My daughter seemed a little depressed.
Even with fear of the future.
"Why don't you say something?" Deputy Director Yang asked anxiously.
"Just now Doctor Ye Gu showed me the test results. She said it's suspected to be early-stage ALS." Yang Caixuan mustered all her courage and told her the situation.
Then he let out a loud cry and lay on the table, crying bitterly.
"ALS...AMS...How could he get this disease? Our family has never had this genetic disease..." Deputy Director Yang was struck by lightning.
This is really bad news that comes like a bolt from the blue.
ALS is more terrifying than leukemia and cancer.
Because from the moment it starts, there is almost no specific medicine and it can only be treated symptomatically.
Then, as the disease gradually worsened, the relatives could only helplessly watch as the patient's condition deteriorated day by day, eventually causing severe muscle atrophy and loss of the ability to take care of themselves.
Some ALS patients do not live beyond three to five years.
Some can live forever.
No matter which one it is, relatives are not willing to accept it.
At this point, Deputy Director Yang, Yang Caixuan and others all understood that Li Quan had actually discovered it a long time ago.
It's just not stated explicitly.
If the disease had not been detected, Li Quan would not have been able to accurately have Yang Caixuan undergo neurological and spinal cord imaging examinations.
"Director Yang, Miss Yang, you don't have to worry too much. You have to face what you have to face. Miss Yang's condition is still in the early stages of onset. With scientific and effective treatment, the condition should be under control."
Li Quan actually hates seeing this kind of scene the most.
The patients are uncomfortable, their families are sad, and the doctors are not feeling well either.
"Well, no matter what, Dr. Li, my daughter and I should thank you. If we wait until the disease occurs before treatment, my daughter's condition will be very bad."
Deputy Director Yang bowed deeply to Li Quan, gratitude written all over his face.
He rarely showed his true nature.
At this moment, Deputy Director Yang has lost the dignity of a director and the "art" of leadership. He is more like a normal person, an ordinary person.
He was very grateful to Li Quan for helping his daughter detect ALS, a highly hidden malignant disease, in advance.
For any disease, early detection and early treatment are the best.
It can minimize damage and losses.
"You don't have to be polite. I just did what a doctor should do. Currently, the international community is trying to use neurotrophic factors, antioxidants such as vitamin E, vitamin C, creatine, CoQ10, etc. in combination with Rilutai to provide protective treatment for ALS. Although some treatments have not been clinically verified, medicine is making progress. I believe your daughter will be cured."
Li Quan comforted him.
At the same time, he was also comforting Yang Caixuan, who was lying on the table crying bitterly.
For a little girl under 20 years old who has been hit by hemophilia and ALS one after another, it is very good that she did not collapse directly.
"Caixuan, you have to be strong, okay? Your ALS was discovered early, I believe it can be cured. Besides, Doctor Li's medical skills are superb, and he's here to back you up. You see, dad's hemophilia has improved significantly after Doctor Li's treatment, and he'll be cured soon."
In order to comfort his daughter and give her the confidence to fight the disease, Deputy Director Yang even used Li Quan.
Li Quan was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
I'm just a resident physician, how can I be that great?
ALS is a neurological disease and it is very difficult to cure.
"Nerves...wait a minute! Can't the meridian-opening technique of Bian Que, the founder of traditional Chinese medicine, repair damaged nerves? After learning the meridian-opening technique, can the incurable disease of ALS be cured?"
The more Li Quan thought about it, the more excited he became.
But it’s not so easy to earn Bian Que’s favor.
The Redness Technique is extremely expensive, equivalent to half a super medical skill. To redeem it, you need 50 points of favorability.
I don’t know when I can earn so much favorability?
The main reason is that Bian Que’s medical books are simply not available on the market.
Not to mention that papermaking had not yet been invented during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, even after papermaking was invented in the Western Han Dynasty, there were not many medical books left.
The culture really began to flourish, and a large amount of it was preserved in the world, starting from the Tang and Song dynasties.
Bian Que has many great medical skills, which are among the best in the world.
It would be great if I could get hold of Bian Que’s large collection of medical books.
Now, Li Quan can only find a solution from the remaining scroll of "Bian Que's Internal Classic".
Deputy Director Yang comforted his daughter for a long time and finally made her stop crying.
"Doctor Li, can you really cure my illness?"
Yang Caixuan looked at Li Quan with tears in her eyes.
"Uh...well..." Li Quan was really stumped by her.
"I know it can't be cured. ALS has not been cured even in the most developed country, the United States. No one has a solution... wuwu..."
Her emotions broke down again.
Otherwise, it would be so embarrassing for a girl of her age to cry loudly in front of so many people.
"Don't cry, don't cry. I can find a way to cure you, but I can't guarantee it. Also, I can help you cure your hemophilia right now." Li Quan was most afraid of girls crying.
He quickly spoke to comfort her.
"Caixuan, you have to believe in Doctor Li. A while ago, his girlfriend was diagnosed with leukemia, and he successfully cured her with traditional Chinese medicine." Deputy Director Yang comforted his daughter and even used Li Quan's example as a basis.
"But, but she is not his girlfriend, would he be so attentive?" Yang Caixuan didn't know if she was confused, she actually asked such a stupid question that would cause misunderstanding.
At this time, Li Quan really didn't know how to respond to her.
Ye Mushroom next to him covered his mouth and laughed.
It’s not that she has no sympathy, but she rarely sees Li Quan in a very difficult situation.
"Ahem... Caixuan, doctors are like parents to their children. Doctor Li has high medical ethics. Even if you are not his girlfriend, he will do his best to find a way to treat you."
Deputy Director Yang was doing ideological work on his daughter.
He really hoped that Li Quan would be his son-in-law. With his vision and experience, he was sure that Li Quan would have a bright future.
"Yes, yes, Director Yang is right. We doctors all have a compassionate heart and treat our patients like our own family members. I will do my best to find a way to treat Miss Yang."
Li Quan quickly responded.
"Hand in hand, no lying!"
She didn't even bother to wipe her tears and insisted on making a pinky promise with Li Quan.
All I can say is that these second-generation officials and rich people have all been spoiled since childhood, and many of them still retain their childlike innocence.
Many rich girls are called naive and innocent, and there is a reason for this.
It’s the same for rich young men.
Many of them are too naive and easily deceived by some bad friends.
Because they trust people too easily.
Just like Yang Caixuan right now, she actually believed in such a childish trick as pinky promise.
Li Quan shook hands with her helplessly, with an expression on his face that was neither funny nor sad.
Doctors not only need to have excellent medical skills, but also need to be ready to be kindergarten teachers at any time. Just like now, to coax Yang Caixuan, a patient who has not grown up, Li Quan has to cooperate with her like a kindergarten teacher.
"Director Yang, Miss Yang, it's already noon. Why don't you have lunch in the hospital? I'll treat you. After lunch, take a short rest. I'll treat Miss Yang's hemophilia."
Li Quan had just performed acupuncture on Director Yang and was really exhausted.
Technology is so advanced nowadays, it would be great if we could develop an acupuncture instrument.
Just arrange the acupuncture points in order and let the instrument operate.
But Li Quan was just thinking about it.
Silver acupuncture requires individual treatment and requires experience as well as flexibility.
No matter how advanced the equipment is, it cannot replace human thinking.
It is a dead thing after all.
The best way is to take in more apprentices in the future and pass on acupuncture to more doctors.
…
While eating in the cafeteria, we learned that Deputy Director Yang was having a meal in the hospital cafeteria, so the dean, deputy dean and others came to greet him in person.
Deputy Director Yang usually speaks in a very "artistic" way.
Today, perhaps the fact that his daughter had ALS put him under great psychological pressure, he barely managed to exchange a few words with the hospital leaders.
The hospital leaders naturally noticed that Deputy Director Yang was in a bad mood.
They were all very smart, and no one dared to stay here to offend Deputy Director Yang. After greeting and showing their courtesy, they all found excuses to leave.
"Xiao Li, stay with Director Yang!"
Dean Tan gave this reminder before leaving.
"OK!"
Li Quan dared not disobey the dean's orders.
When they were almost done eating, Deputy Director Yang's phone rang.
"Hello, Aixon!"
It turned out to be a call from Aixen. I don’t know what he wanted to talk to him about?
Deputy Director Yang probably didn't want others to hear his conversation with Professor Aixen, so he stood up and walked aside to answer the phone.
Li Quan seemed to vaguely hear that Aixen should ask Deputy Director Yang to help him continue to find a better Chinese medicine doctor.
It seems that this Aixen is an old fox and hasn't given up yet.
When Deputy Director Yang came over after answering the phone, Li Quan noticed a subtle treacherous expression on his face.
This expression was definitely not directed at Li Quan.
There is only one possibility, that this is some conspiracy against Aixen.
Li Quan thought about it for a moment and guessed about 70% of it.
Aixen received one million yuan from Deputy Director Yang for his medical treatment, but failed to cure the hemophilia of Deputy Director Yang and his daughter.
Now we are asking Deputy Director Yang to help find a Chinese medicine expert. Isn't this giving Deputy Director Yang an opportunity?
hey-hey.
By then, it is estimated that more than one million will be vomited out.
"I'm done eating, Caixuan. Dad has some urgent matters to deal with at the bureau. After you finish your meal, go to Dr. Li for treatment. When you're done, call me and I'll send someone to pick you up."
Deputy Director Yang admonished his daughter.
"Doctor Li, I'll leave my daughter in your care. By the way, let my daughter take the Chinese medicine I need to take back with me."
After saying this, Deputy Director Yang hurried away with his briefcase.
"Doctor Li, Doctor Ye Gu, enjoy your meal. I'm full." Yang Caixuan's tutor was quite good. After finishing her meal, she greeted Li Quan and others.
There is no one else now.
Li Quan said to Ye Gu, "I gave Director Yang acupuncture this morning. Did you learn it?"
"I...how can I learn it after only watching it once? I don't even know which acupoints are being pierced." Ye Gu said a little embarrassedly.
"Then when you go home, remember to brush up on your knowledge of acupuncture points. Make sure you memorize the more than 700 acupuncture points on the human body and the corresponding meridians where they are distributed. I will ask the hospital to provide a teaching dummy covered with acupuncture points. When you have memorized the acupuncture points and are familiar with the functions of each acupuncture point, I will teach you how to insert silver needles and then teach you moxibustion."
Li Quan is preparing to train two apprentices at the same time.
Dr. Luo will be responsible for bone setting, resetting dislocated joints, etc. Ye Gu will be responsible for acupuncture and moxibustion in the hematology department.
When we were almost done eating, a middle-aged doctor came over.
"Doctor Li, I heard that your Traditional Chinese Medicine Department treated three orthopedic patients this morning. The revenue generated is pretty good, right?" This is Doctor Ye, the deputy director of the orthopedics department.
He has a middle-parted hair, a slightly plump figure, and a harmless smile on his face.
"Our TCM department has just opened for business and it's hard to even make a living, let alone generate revenue. Director Ye, please don't laugh at us."
Li Quan dealt with the other party carefully and neither servilely nor arrogantly.
Deputy Director Ye from the Orthopedics Department would definitely not come over and talk to him for no reason.
The specific purpose is currently unclear.
However, one thing is certain: the opening of TCM orthopedics clinics may make orthopedic doctors feel that their business is being taken away.
