Chapter 387: Can’t such a long needle kill someone?
"Hello, Amberly, Jack!" After greeting Axen, Li Quan smiled and greeted the black female doctor and another white male doctor.
Like China, the United States also emphasizes closeness and distance.
Those who can always be with Aixen are his confidants.
These two people should have a high status in Aixen's research team.
Li Quan went to Laboratory No. 4 several times and saw these two people acting as the leaders of the team.
An Baili should be very good at blood analysis, cell culture, etc.
The white male doctor named Jack seems to be operating the computer every time. He may be proficient in data statistics, calculations, etc.
"Li, I heard that you have admitted several leukemia patients. Are they doing well?"
Aixen had already begun observing several patients in the inpatient ward.
Unlike patients with bone diseases, leukemia patients are very afraid of infection and bleeding because of major problems with their immune systems. If they are slightly cold, they may catch a cold.
So he had to be admitted to the ward.
They can't be allowed to live in the corridor.
This is also why many leukemia patients find themselves catching frequent colds in recent times before they are diagnosed.
Normally, if a person's immune system is healthy, the body will naturally produce antibodies after catching a cold. It will take a long time for the next cold to come back.
Some people rarely catch a cold once every one or two years.
If you catch a cold several times in a month or two, you should be especially alert and go to the hospital for a checkup.
This is because there is probably a major problem with the body's immune system.
If you have a serious disease such as leukemia or cancer, the earlier you detect it, the better.
On the contrary, if you wait until the late stage to detect the disease, it is basically your fate and there is nothing you can do about it.
The vast majority of patients with advanced cancer or leukemia in hospitals suffer a tragic fate of losing both their lives and their wealth.
"Professor Aixen is a very busy man. How come you have time to come and see me today?" Li Quan asked instead of answering.
"I miss you, my old friend! I came here specially to see you." Professor Aixen said the corny words with a smile.
Li Quancai didn't believe the nonsense of this American guy.
I was so badly cheated by those fake Chinese medicine practitioners and fake famous doctors that I remembered the goodness of Li Quan.
"I'm afraid I don't have time to accompany you now. I have two leukemia patients to deal with." Li Quan apologized.
"It's okay, we'll just watch from the side and won't disturb you from treating the patient." Aixen kept a very humble attitude today.
Li Quan was even more certain that this person had something to ask for.
But he didn't point it out.
Li Quan is quite interested in the research results of American experts.
Although traditional Chinese medicine is powerful, it relies too much on experience and it is difficult to promote it on a large scale in a short period of time.
It may take at least a dozen years or even several decades to train a qualified Chinese medicine practitioner.
Li Quan's power alone is limited after all.
If we can use the research results of the United States to benefit domestic leukemia patients, it would not be a bad thing.
He continued to take the pulse of the young girl, who was about seventeen or eighteen years old.
Although Dr. Ye Ru had arranged for the girl to undergo a routine blood test, lumbar puncture and other tests, and had identified the cause of the disease, Li Quan's pulse diagnosis could not be replaced by rigid instruments and data.
Just by touching the patient's Cun, Guan, and Chi points, he can roughly know the patient's overall physical condition.
Whether the qi and blood are vigorous directly determines the patient's ability to resist disease.
If the qi and blood are weak, the patient can easily die.
On the contrary, if the Qi and blood are abundant, the patient will generally recover quickly as long as the treatment is appropriate.
"What's your name?" Li Quan asked gently.
"Zou Lu."
The girl was a little shy.
"Your overall condition is pretty good. As long as you cooperate with the treatment, there is a very high chance that you will be cured and discharged from the hospital." Li Quan nodded to her with a smile.
He said this not just as a psychological therapy to give the girl confidence, but also because the girl's physical condition was actually good.
"Since you are in such good physical condition, you must not have undergone any radiotherapy or chemotherapy, right?" Li Quan asked.
"Doctor Li, before our daughter was diagnosed with leukemia, I happened to see a news report about you, so I rushed over to see you." The girl's father had become extremely respectful to Li Quan.
Just now they looked down on Li Quan because he was very young.
Some even began to question Li Quan's medical skills.
Now that they see that even foreign experts are coming to get close to Li Quan and exchange medical skills, they no longer have any doubts about Li Quan.
"Fortunately, you haven't done any chemotherapy or radiotherapy, which is very beneficial to the patient's health. Otherwise, after chemotherapy, the patient's physical condition would be greatly reduced, and the difficulty of treatment with traditional Chinese medicine and her recovery period would be much longer."
Li Quan's words made the family and the girl feel very happy.
"Doctor Ye, are the patient's test results out?" Li Quan asked.
"Yes, it has come out. Please take a look." Ye Ru handed the inspection document to Li Quan.
She was obviously a senior doctor, but she treated Li Quan with the respect of a teacher, which surprised the girl's parents very much.
He also had full faith in Li Quan's abilities.
"Acute megakaryocytic leukemia, which is quite rare. The patient has type A blood. I should have some medicine. I can arrange treatment now."
After looking at the results of the bone marrow biopsy, Li Quan decided to immediately give the girl traditional Chinese medicine treatment.
"Have you discussed the risks and possible situations with the family members?" Li Quan asked.
"Doctor Li, Doctor Ye has already talked to us. We are willing to accept your traditional Chinese medicine treatment. Please treat our daughter now." The family members were naturally anxious.
For this type of acute leukemia, the sooner it is treated, the better.
Otherwise it will be troublesome if the condition worsens.
"Okay, I'll get ready right away. Chen Xia, take the patient to the treatment room. Doctor Ye, please ask the patient to prepay the full amount of medical expenses to the hospital account."
This is not the first time that Li Quan has used traditional Chinese medicine to treat leukemia patients.
Ye Ru knew exactly how much the fee was.
However, patients are usually required to pay in advance, and then the bill will be issued the next day. The money is also directly deducted from the prepaid fee.
Almost all modern hospitals adopt this charging method.
You pay first and then we will treat you.
Of course, there is one exception.
If a patient is about to die without emergency treatment, then we must save his life first and then ask the patient or his family to pay the medical expenses.
The policy is that life comes first.
Every year the hospital is unable to collect some medical expenses due to this regulation.
Some patients were sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, but died after a series of rescue efforts. The family members of the patients were unwilling to pay the additional medical expenses.
But in fact, although the patient did not survive, the various expenses incurred during the rescue process were normal.
When faced with this situation, the hospital is also helpless.
Another case is that the patient was saved, but the patient's family was extremely poor. It's not that he didn't want to pay, but he just couldn't afford it right now. So he would just owe it to him first.
Then the debt becomes a bad debt.
Only a few patients with good credit will come back to make up the payment.
Since Li Quan's Traditional Chinese Medicine Department opened, there has been no case of medical bills being in arrears.
If that happens, every member of the department will be in trouble.
There is no negotiation about deducting bonuses.
It is even possible that doctors in the department will be asked to bear part of the responsibility.
"Li, are you going to treat this patient with acute megakaryoblastic leukemia now?" asked Axen.
"Um!"
Li Quan nodded.
"Can we just watch?" Aixen had only watched Li Quan treat hemophilia, but had never seen him treat leukemia.
He has been in China for some time.
Although Huier Hospital has always treated them like ancestors, providing them with food, drink and accommodation every day, and also provided them with a laboratory for research, they have not been able to overcome the difficulties encountered in their research. This is not a solution.
In terms of conditions, the United States is definitely much better.
Aixen traveled thousands of miles with his team across the ocean just to seek a breakthrough.
If he can't get useful traditional Chinese medicine in China, there's no point in him staying there any longer.
After being cheated by those two fake Chinese medicine practitioners, Aixen was completely heartbroken.
This visit to see Li Quan is also my last inspection before returning home.
To put it bluntly, he came here specifically to watch how Li Quan treated leukemia.
If after watching it, he thinks that Li Quan's treatment method is indeed effective, he will consider cooperating with Li Quan.
"Excuse me, the patient is a woman. She needs to take off her clothes during the treatment, so I'm afraid you and your team members cannot watch. Of course, if the patient allows, Amberly, who is also a woman, may be able to watch."
Li Quan explained with an apologetic look on his face.
Whether treating hemophilia or leukemia, acupuncture is needed for the patient.
This definitely won't work if you're wearing clothes.
Although in the eyes of doctors, patients are equal in gender.
However, this does not mean that anyone can visit the patient while he or she is receiving treatment.
"OK!" Aixen nodded in understanding.
When it comes to respecting women, the West has always been at the forefront of the world.
Women's freedom also started in the West.
Aixen looked at Amberly and nodded slightly.
"Hi, beautiful lady. I am a hematologist from the United States. We specialize in studying how to treat various blood diseases more effectively. May I have the honor of observing your entire treatment process? I will protect your privacy."
The little black girl An Baili is quite friendly.
The strengths of black people are that they can speak, dance, and are lively and enthusiastic.
"OK!"
The female patient named Zou Lu actually agreed.
Since everyone has agreed, Li Quan won't say anything.
…
In the treatment room, Li Quan performed acupuncture treatment on the girl with a serious face.
Embry stood by and watched curiously.
Although she was extremely shocked when she saw Li Quan holding a nearly 20- centimeter silver needle and inserting it into the patient's body, she did not utter a single scream throughout the process.
The quality shown is very high.
Intensive and orderly treatment is ongoing.
Gradually, the girl's skin turned red as if burned by fire, and then slowly turned purple.
Seeing all this, An Baili was shocked to the extreme again.
In particular, Li Quan held a 21-centimeter-long silver needle and inserted it into the patient's proximal end.
It even scared Amberly silly.
After more than an hour, Li Quan walked out of the ward tiredly.
The remaining cleaning work will be done by Ye Ru and Chen Xia.
The girl has good physical fitness and is in the early stages of leukemia, so the treatment effect is very good.
I think with a few more acupuncture treatments, supplemented by Chinese medicine treatments and proper physical exercise, she will surely recover soon.
So far, Li Quan has treated several leukemia patients using traditional Chinese medicine.
Only the little girl with a serious condition showed no improvement.
It's like hanging on by a thread.
Several other leukemia patients also achieved good treatment results.
Especially the middle-aged woman who was in the same ward with Sophie.
Director Qin of the Hematology Department told Li Quan two days ago that the patient had basically recovered. It was estimated that she could be re-examined in the next two days.
By then, the middle-aged woman may very likely become the second leukemia patient cured by Li Quan using traditional Chinese medicine.
Just as my third cousin who runs a clinic said, curing a leukemia patient with Chinese medicine is nothing.
Because Chinese medicine has a variety of treatment options for a variety of diseases.
The same treatment may not be effective when used on a second patient.
“Li, Li…”
Amberi caught up from behind .
"Oh my god, the way you treated the patient just now really scared me." An Baili had an exaggerated expression with lingering fear.
"Haha, we Chinese medicine practitioners have a saying that severe illnesses require strong medicine. To treat some critically ill patients, we have to use needles this long!"
Li Quan made a gesture to her.
It is estimated that this American doctor has never seen a needle longer than 21 centimeters in his life.
The injection needles used in Western medicine are generally used for superficial injections.
The longest will not exceed five centimeters.
"Li, can you tell me why such a long needle inserted into the patient's chest will not cause any injury to the patient?"
An Beili followed Li Quan and asked.
"You won't understand even if I tell you. The meridians and acupuncture points of our traditional Chinese medicine are not recognized by you western doctors at all. What I can tell you now is that our traditional Chinese medicine has its own magical features. For example, silver needles, let alone silver needles of more than 20 centimeters, even if they are replaced with 10 centimeters, if you western doctors use them to pierce the patient's heart, it is estimated that it is easy to kill the patient."
"But we Chinese medicine practitioners don't do that."
Li Quan said with a smile.
The more shocked Amberly was, the better, because she was actually the ears and eyes of Axen. After returning, she would definitely tell Axen everything she had seen and heard.
At that time, Aixen will take the initiative to ask Li Quan for cooperation.
After separating from Amberly, Li Quan looked at the time and saw that it was already past the working time.
It is eleven past six.
Being a doctor is like that, it's hard to get off work on time.
Li Quan is still okay .
It is common for some doctors in operating rooms to work overtime for more than ten hours during a surgery.
Outside the large operating rooms of the hospital, it is common to see surgeons who are close to collapse walking out with the help of the wall, then sitting on the ground and falling asleep in seconds.
