Chapter 361: It's time to take action
Deputy Director Ye's eyelids twitched wildly, and the expression on his face became stiff and bitter.
Yesterday, he and Director Pang teamed up to fight Li Quan, but they didn't get the upper hand and were beaten like dogs. Today, he was fighting Li Quan alone in medical skills, and he would be beaten like a dead dog.
There is no comparison, absolutely no comparison.
"Ahem... This is the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine Orthopedics. I'm not a doctor here, so it's not appropriate for me to treat patients here. Doctor Li, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first!"
Deputy Director Ye was so frightened that he wanted to run away.
"Didn't you just say that you saw that we had too many patients in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine Orthopedics and wanted to help share some of the pressure? How can you, a man of your age and an associate chief physician in the Department of Orthopedics, not keep your word?"
"Besides, this patient's bone injury is very simple, even a small intern like me can easily cure it. For you, the more powerful chief physician, to cure him, isn't it as easy as eating and drinking water?"
Li Quan held Deputy Director Ye and refused to let him leave.
Deputy Director Ye secretly tried to break free.
He felt as if there was an iron hoop around his wrist, and no matter how hard he tried, it was like an ant trying to shake a tree.
Only now did he realize that Li Quan was not only an expert in medicine, but also had amazing arm strength.
In fact, before Li Quan practiced the Five Animals Exercises, his strength was only slightly stronger than that of people of the same size. He couldn't even beat Gao Yuan.
Because Gao Yuan is a sports champion in school.
Now, if Li Quan fights with Gao Yuan again, he can probably knock Gao Yuan down with just one hand.
As for Deputy Director Ye, he is not even as good as Gao Yuan, so how could he possibly break free from Li Quan's grasp?
"Doctor Li, please let go. I really have something to do." Deputy Director Ye tried to break free secretly but failed. He was shocked and angry.
He was not afraid, because Li Quan would definitely not hit him openly.
"Director Ye, even if your house is on fire, there are firefighters to help you put out the fire. As a doctor, you should save lives and heal the wounded. I was delayed for nearly an hour in a meeting today, and you are so kind-hearted that you came here to help our TCM orthopedics department treat patients. Don't be polite and modest."
"Come on, come on, treat him quickly. I'll be your assistant."
Li Quan forcibly pulled Deputy Director Ye into the consulting room and pressed him into the first chair.
"Young man, come here, don't just stand there, this is Director Ye from the Orthopedics Department, he's very capable. Everyone remembers his face, don't make the mistake of recognizing him."
Li Quan is forcing the issue.
Many of the patients were staring at Deputy Director Ye.
This time, Deputy Director Ye really had no way to shirk responsibility.
"Director Ye, please help me with my treatment. I'm in a hurry to deliver a takeaway." The young man sat down in front of Deputy Director Ye and begged him to diagnose and treat him.
Li Quan praises Deputy Director Ye very much, and now the patients also respect him very much.
Deputy Director Ye had no choice but to go ahead with it.
He had his own plans in mind. Li Quan said that this patient could be cured within one minute.
Since Li Quan was able to cure it in just one minute, it means it was just a simple dislocation or displacement of the joint.
Deputy Director Ye has been an orthopedic surgeon for many years and has performed some simple reduction operations.
If I could cure this patient today, not only would I be able to turn the tables and hold my head high in front of Li Quan, but I would also gain praise from a large number of patients.
Looking at Li Quan's forced posture, it was obvious that he wanted to embarrass him.
If I can cure this patient, I can get away with it legitimately.
I believe no doctor would think that his medical skills are rubbish.
Not to mention Deputy Director Ye, he is a chief physician after all.
Li Quan put him in a cage and held him so high.
He couldn't possibly jump down, could he?
"Xiao Li, please register the patient's basic information." Deputy Director Ye is no pushover either.
Li Quanqiang forced him to come here for treatment, and he used Li Quan as his assistant.
The purpose is to show in front of all the patients that his status is higher than Li Quan's, so that patients can go to the orthopedics department for treatment in the future.
At the same time, it also intends to retaliate against Li Quan.
"What's your name? How old are you?"
"Zhang Qiang, 20 years old this year."
"The injured part is mainly the left arm, right? Are there any other injuries?"
"I was wearing a helmet and knee pads at the time, and my left elbow hit the ground first when I fell. My hip was also hit, but it was just a little scratch on the surface, nothing serious. Now the main problem is that I can't use my left hand, and it hurts a lot."
The young man lifted his clothes with his right hand, and there was indeed a scrape on the big bone of his left hip.
Slight bleeding may be seen.
"Let me prescribe an X-ray for you first." After giving the young man a physical examination, Deputy Director Ye wrote out an application form for an X-ray of his left elbow joint.
Deputy Director Ye's diagnosis procedures are indeed impeccable.
Be meticulous where necessary.
"Next one!"
Deputy Director Ye seems to be somewhat addicted.
This time the patient was carried in.
He is a white-haired old man with a skinny body, the kind that is just skin and bones.
Lying on a simple stretcher, he kept crying out in pain.
He cried out "Ah, ah, ah".
When Deputy Director Ye saw that the old man was old and his injuries seemed serious, he began to feel uneasy.
I secretly felt a little regretful.
If I had known that I had just finished seeing the first patient, I should have given the seat to Li Quan. If you only want to have a good time, don't pick up a bad deal.
"What's your name? How old are you?"
"My father's name is Li Ziyang, he is 76 years old this year. When he was climbing a wooden ladder, the ladder slipped and he fell down with the ladder. When we rushed home, he was already unable to move. We first sent him to the local community clinic, but the doctor there refused to treat him and asked us to rush to a large hospital. We sent him to Yuanyang Hospital, and after the examination, the doctor there told us that the old man had multiple fractures and that he was too old, so conservative treatment was the only option.
The risk of surgery is too great, so they are unwilling to do it.
Then we heard that there was a very good doctor named Li in the Department of Traditional Chinese Orthopedics at Huier Hospital. So we came here specifically to find him.”
The patient's family briefly introduced the whole situation.
When Deputy Director Ye heard this, his body shuddered violently and he almost couldn't sit still.
There is an unspoken rule in the hospital.
Patients cannot be rejected, especially in top-level hospitals.
This is because township health centers can still make excuses by saying that their equipment is not advanced enough and their medical level is limited, and advise some seriously ill patients to be transferred to higher-level hospitals for treatment.
But Yuanyang Hospital, Huier Hospital and Provincial People's Hospital are not good enough.
It's already a Grade 3A hospital, where are you pushing your patients to?
No hospital is stupid. If they encounter a particularly difficult-to-treat patient, the risk is extremely high. Who is willing to take the risk?
What should I do then?
Simple.
That is to let the patient take conservative treatment.
I won't perform surgery on you, but will give you normal medication. Even if you die, I will have fulfilled my hospital's obligation to treat you.
If a patient dies on the operating table, try it.
Yuanyang Hospital recommended conservative treatment for this patient, which means it cannot be cured.
This is also the way almost all major hospitals deal with extremely high-risk patients.
Because the policy absolutely does not allow hospitals to refuse to admit patients.
Every time there is a good policy from the top, there is a counter-policy from the bottom.
As long as your thinking does not slip, there are always more solutions than problems.
So some talented people in the medical field came up with a "good idea" that can protect the hospital without violating the policy.
Deputy Director Ye is also a senior figure, so he naturally understands this.
You want him to treat a patient that even the Ocean Hospital doesn't dare to treat?
If he had that ability, the orthopedic business of Huier Hospital would not have declined year after year.
Deputy Director Ye felt bitter in his heart.
"Old man, let me give you a physical examination first to understand your condition!"
At this point, I'm already riding on the tiger's back, how can I get off?
We can only think of a way.
Deputy Director Ye carefully gave the elderly a physical examination.
Li Quan believes that this examination is quite similar to the traditional Chinese medicine's visual diagnosis.
The four diagnostic methods of traditional Chinese medicine are inspection, auscultation, questioning and palpation.
After seeing a patient, the first thing to do is to look at the patient's skin color, appearance, etc.
Western medicine does not have the ability of traditional Chinese medicine. It must touch and press the area to make a confirmation.
Deputy Director Ye reached out and gently touched the patient's chest.
“Oh my…”
The patient screamed.
Deputy Director Ye was so frightened that he retracted his hand, and the family member's face immediately showed some displeasure.
"It seems that the sternum and ribs need to be checked. There may be fractures." Deputy Director Ye said seriously.
He didn't dare touch the patient's chest and waist again.
This time it was in a different place, the legs.
He thought, there must be nothing wrong with his legs.
As a result, I just pressed it.
"ah……"
This time the patient screamed even more miserably, and his body straightened up.
It was as if I had been slaughtered alive.
"Do you know how to diagnose illnesses? My dad fell and got so bad. I told you he had multiple fractures all over his body, and you're still pressing here and there. Are you sick in your brain?"
The patient's youngest son got angry on the spot.
Several other family members also looked unhappy.
My relative was seriously injured in the fall and had to go to the hospital for treatment.
As a result, the doctor pressed on him until he screamed in pain before he was even treated. Anyone would have gotten angry.
Deputy Director Ye is a chief physician after all. He felt his dignity was trampled upon when the patient's family pointed at him and called him sick.
I got a little angry on the spot.
"I am examining the patient according to normal procedures. Why are you yelling? If you are afraid of pain, don't send him to the hospital for treatment."
Deputy Director Ye's face turned cold, and he put on airs and scolded the patient's youngest son.
Examining patients is his specialty.
How can a doctor’s professionalism be questioned by a patient’s family?
"Can you cure it? If not, please ask Doctor Li to come."
"Don't show off here."
"That's right. You've already hurt our father, and you're still mad at him. No matter how we examine him, it's not the way you examine him. Besides, this is a traditional Chinese medicine orthopedic department. The professional way to examine him is not to randomly press like you do, but to feel my father's pulse."
The family members' attitudes suddenly became excited.
The two sides started arguing directly.
This kind of scene happens frequently in hospitals.
"Taking the pulse is outdated. I'm a modern doctor and I don't use that method." Deputy Director Ye was still being stubborn.
It really makes it difficult for him to take the patient's pulse.
"Director Ye, I shouldn't have ruined your plan. But you're totally wrong to say that Chinese medicine's pulse diagnosis method is outdated. Let's make a small bet. I'll diagnose this patient's pulse right now. I can accurately determine which parts of his body have fractures and which parts have bruises and hematomas."
When Li Quan heard Deputy Director Ye belittling traditional Chinese medicine, he couldn't help but refute him on the spot.
Originally, I wanted to give Deputy Director Ye some face since we are all doctors.
Since Deputy Director Ye said in the TCM department that TCM methods are outdated, the implicit meaning was that TCM techniques were rubbish, so Li Quan had nothing to worry about.
"Haha, Li Quan, you are so arrogant. If Chinese medicine's pulse diagnosis is really that powerful, why do we need advanced detection equipment such as B-ultrasound, CT, and MRI? Everyone can just learn how to feel the pulse."
Deputy Director Ye just thought it was ridiculous.
Li Quan didn't waste any words.
The patient's pulse was taken on the spot.
"The 3rd, 5th, 6th and 7th ribs on the left side were fractured. The 3rd rib was completely fractured, and the other three were slightly fractured. The femoral head of the left leg should be comminuted. There is a hematoma on the back of the head, and there is a small amount of blood and fluid in the cranial cavity. In addition, the patient had hypertension before the fall, and both legs have a certain degree of varicose veins."
After taking the patient's pulse, Li Quan accurately reported the patient's specific condition.
Next to him, Doctor Luo had already recorded all of this.
"Doctor Li, you are this! A miracle doctor, an absolute miracle doctor. If this wasn't our first meeting, I would have thought you had seen the results of our examination at Yuanyang Hospital."
The patient's two sons gave Li Quan a thumbs up.
When they treated Deputy Director Ye just now, they still had angry expressions on their faces.
Having witnessed Li Quan's superb medical skills, they were amazed and impressed.
Everyone showed admiration for Li Quan.
"Is everything he said correct?" Deputy Director Ye said in disbelief.
"This is the examination form from Yuanyang Hospital. You can take a look at it yourself." The patient's youngest son threw the examination form to Deputy Director Ye.
He looked it over carefully, his expression changing constantly.
From shock to... despair.
That's right, despair.
"It's actually true. Is taking the pulse really that powerful?"
Deputy Director Ye murmured to himself. Today, he had been taught a hard lesson.
"Haha, Director Ye, there is no end to learning medicine. Just because you don't know how to do it doesn't mean others don't know how to do it, and it doesn't mean it's useless. In fact, pulse diagnosis is not only useful, but also very useful. A good Chinese medicine practitioner can even diagnose a patient's illness in advance by feeling the pulse."
Li Quan believes that every doctor, patient and family member present today will never forget it.
Because many things are hard to believe if you don’t see them with your own eyes.
Just then, the first patient to be examined came back.
"Director Ye, these are my examination results. Please help me get better soon."
The delivery guy handed the X-ray to Deputy Director Ye.
"This..." Deputy Director Ye groaned inwardly after taking it.
He thought it was just a simple elbow dislocation, but after looking at the X-ray, he found it was much more complicated than he had imagined.
The olecranon is displaced, and there appears to be a hematoma around the joint capsule.
The elbow dislocation was much more serious than he had imagined.
"Director Ye, please don't just stand there. It's already past nine o'clock. Please help me quickly." The delivery boy was in a hurry to get his hand healed and go take orders and do business.
The other patients waiting in line were also looking at Deputy Director Ye.
In particular, the family members of the old man who had just fallen and suffered multiple fractures all over his body had very strange expressions when they looked at Deputy Director Ye.
As long as Deputy Director Ye says it can’t be cured.
They would probably label Deputy Director Ye a quack immediately.
"Well... your elbow dislocation is very serious, and the ulna is almost broken. The success rate of manual reduction is extremely low. I still recommend that you be hospitalized for surgery, which will have a much higher success rate."
Deputy Director Ye acted like a director, and like an old teacher, he spoke in a consonant tone and analyzed the condition of the delivery boy.
And surgical treatment was recommended.
"Didn't Doctor Li just say that he could help me reset the bone and it would only take one minute to heal? Why do I have to be hospitalized for surgery?" the delivery guy asked.
"I'm the director. He doesn't have the final say. My words are authoritative." Deputy Director Ye just lost to Li Quan in diagnosing the patient's lesion.
At this moment, if he was defeated by Li Quan again, he would just dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.
He even used his own director position to put pressure on Li Quan.
"Young man, don't listen to this quack's nonsense. Doctor Li just examined my dad. He only felt his pulse and diagnosed his illness clearly. It's more accurate than B-ultrasound and X-ray. This pretentious Director Ye can't treat you. Let Doctor Li treat you."
The old man's youngest son couldn't bear to watch this and spoke up to speak up for Li Quan.
At the same time, it is also a kind reminder for the delivery guys not to be fooled.
"Doctor Li, I came here for treatment because of your reputation. You can't push me to other doctors. You have to treat me."
The delivery guy looked at Li Quan pleadingly.
"Come, come here!"
Li Quan waved to the takeaway boy.
The delivery guy was secretly happy, knowing that Li Quan might help him reset his bones.
After all, I have seen a lot of treatment videos on Li Quan’s Douyin videos.
"Li Quan, what do you want to do?" Deputy Director Ye asked coldly.
Li Quan ignored him and grabbed the delivery boy's arm, turned it slightly twice, and then pushed it down hard.
"Bah!"
There was a bone-cracking sound coming from the delivery guy's arm.
"Try your left arm again." Li Quan said with a smile.
The delivery guy tried to move his left arm and found that not only was the severe pain gone, but he was also able to use more strength.
"Thank you, thank you Doctor Li! You are truly a miracle doctor, a miracle doctor!"
The delivery guy was about to kowtow to Li Quan to express his gratitude.
"Hey, don't be like this. I'm a doctor, and it's my duty to treat you. The treatment fee is 260 yuan, and you can pay the additional fee. This is the greatest gratitude to me."
Li Quan said with a smile.
Under normal circumstances, Li Quan would definitely wait until the patient paid the fee before providing treatment.
At this moment, Deputy Director Ye is causing trouble here, so he has to act decisively.
Strike when the time is right.
This is the only way to achieve the most shocking effect.
"Okay, okay, I'll pay right away. It only cost 260 yuan, and I was cured on the spot. It's much more cost-effective than surgery. The most important thing is that I don't suffer any pain."
The delivery guy knows what is good for him.
