Chapter 448 From resisting treatment to actively seeking treatment
The next morning, when Li Quan went to Sophie's house, she didn't ask much.
Just tell Li Quan to get some rest.
If she needs to work overtime until late at night next time, she will bring meals to Li Quan in the hospital.
My own daughter-in-law is still the best. She is considerate and caring.
Li Quan was still concerned about the department's affairs.
I took over the old orthopedic department last night, and there is a lot of things to deal with today.
After having breakfast at Sophie's house, I hurried to the hospital.
During routine ward rounds, the patients admitted to the TCM department were basically not of much concern. However, Li Quan had to deal with the 22 inpatients left over from the old orthopedics department one by one.
For those who have already undergone surgery, they can only continue to recuperate in the hospital.
For several patients with dislocated joints, Li Quan could only counsel them and ask them if they were willing to try traditional Chinese medicine to reset their bones.
Originally, Li Quan had good intentions.
Unexpectedly, the patient did not appreciate it.
No one was willing to let Li Quan perform manual reduction surgery.
Because when they were admitted, Director Pang had already told them that it would be difficult to reduce the fracture manually.
Now this young doctor tells them that they can try manual reduction, who would believe it?
What’s more, it is an outdated traditional Chinese medicine technique.
Li Quan looked at the time and saw that it was already past eight o'clock. He didn't have time to do any more ideological work for these people.
"Doctor Li, can you please excuse me?"
Tang Zhengyuan was on night shift yesterday. Li Quan came to check on him and he stayed with him the whole time.
Seeing that it was difficult to convince these people with Li Quan's ideas, he pulled Li Quan out of the ward.
"Doctor Tang, what good suggestions do you have?"
"You are working with patients like this, but it is thankless. I suggest you find an excuse to arrange for these people to stay in the TCM orthopedic clinic for an hour or so.
Let them witness with their own eyes the effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine bone setting techniques.
By then, I guarantee that you won’t need to waste any more words on them, as they will all beg you to treat them.”
Tang Zhengyuan has a few years more work experience than Li Quan and has a thorough understanding of the patients' minds.
Li Quan's eyes lit up slightly.
"Well, Doctor Tang's idea is good. I'm going to the outpatient clinic right now. Please notify the four patients with dislocated and dislocated bones and joints and ask them to come to the TCM clinic to see Doctor Luo at 8:30 to register for surgery. If they really want to have surgery, then arrange it for them. Anyway, our TCM orthopedics department now has an independent operating room."
Li Quan wholeheartedly considers these patients, but they do not appreciate it and do not buy into it.
In that case, their wish was fulfilled.
"Okay, I'll notify the family right away." Tang Zhengyuan is quite capable.
"You worked the day shift yesterday and the night shift tonight. Now that I've given you the notice, you can go home and rest." Li Quan walked towards the medical technology department.
First I went into the electrocardiogram room.
When Hong Zhi saw the new leader of the department coming, he quickly stood up and greeted him respectfully.
"Morning, Doctor Li!"
"Good morning! I just wanted to ask you, in addition to doing electrocardiograms on patients, can you take X-rays?" Li Quan had four medical technology departments, but only two medical technology physicians.
The probability of having an electrocardiogram performed by a Chinese medicine orthopedic doctor is actually quite low.
The most common examination is probably X-ray examination, and color Doppler ultrasound is also used. As for CT and MRI, they are all large-scale examination equipment. It is impossible for a single department to have them.
"Yes! Doctor Li wants me to take care of the X-ray examination room as well, right?"
Hong Zhi knew what Li Quan meant as soon as he heard it.
Quite smart.
"From today on, the X-ray examination room will be handed over to you. You can sit directly in the X-ray examination room. I guess you will be very busy today." In Li Quan's Traditional Chinese Medicine Orthopedics Department, most patients have to undergo this examination.
With at least a hundred inspections a day, Hong Zhi will experience unprecedented busyness.
Of course, I believe Hong Zhi would be very happy about it.
For doctors in the medical technology department, bonuses are linked to business volume.
The more you work, the more you earn.
Every time you treat a patient, you can get a commission. In addition, if the department's revenue reaches a certain level, there will be additional rewards.
Li Quan came out of the electrocardiogram examination room and entered the color ultrasound examination room.
"Doctor Yang, are you drinking coffee? It smells so good!" Li Quan smelled the rich aroma of coffee as soon as he entered.
"Haha, good morning, Doctor Li! I usually have the habit of going to bed late, so I like to drink some coffee to refresh myself." Yang Xuehua quickly stood up to greet Li Quan.
"Staying up late is not good. It is a woman's biggest enemy. It will accelerate aging, make women ugly, cause hair loss, and gain weight. You must try to change the bad habit of staying up late."
Li Quan asked with concern.
"Oh, there's nothing I can do. I bought a small one-bedroom apartment with a mortgage, and I have to work hard to make money to pay off the mortgage." Yang Xuehua looked to be around 24 years old, but she had unexpectedly earned enough money to buy a house.
Even if it's just a small one-bedroom house, it's enough to surpass most of his peers.
Many young people in their twenties and twenties are still asking their families for money and living off their parents.
"Hey, I didn't realize that you can buy a house at such a young age. It's really amazing." Li Quan gave her a thumbs up. "I say, since you are not in cahoots with Director Pang and his gang, and your income as a medical technician is not high, do you have any other side jobs?"
Li Quan looked at this female colleague who was one or two years older than him with new eyes.
To be honest, if Li Quan hadn't learned those miraculous medical skills, his fate would probably be similar to Han Dong's.
I guess he won’t even have the chance to stay in the hospital as a resident physician.
"Well... when I was in school, I liked to write articles and I made some money from this." Yang Xuehua said with an embarrassed smile.
"So you are such a talented woman. I am so sorry for that." Li Quan found that his department was really full of talented people. "I came here just to ask you, do you know how to operate an electrocardiogram?"
"Yes, I can do electrocardiograms and X-rays. The doctors in our medical technology department have all been trained." She nodded.
"Yes, I can. How about this? You and Doctor Hong Zhi will take turns to be on duty in the X-ray examination room. If someone is off that day, you can take care of all the examination rooms part-time. I'll go and tell Doctor Hong. Today, Doctor Hong will be on duty in the X-ray examination room first."
Li Quan made this arrangement because he wanted to treat everyone equally.
People who work on duty in the X-ray examination room will earn much more.
When there are only two medical technicians, it is fairest to take turns on duty.
…
After arranging the work in the examination room, Li Quan hurried to the Chinese medicine outpatient department.
Hu Yue'er had already started registering and arranging numbers for the patients waiting in line.
Li Quan loves and hates this bustling scene of people queuing up for medical treatment.
He hoped to train a few more apprentices to take over as soon as possible, and then he would be free.
He can be like many department directors and professors, and only some difficult patients need to be treated personally.
Li Quan soon returned to his tense and busy work.
Not long after, the family members of the four patients with dislocated or dislocated joints left by the old orthopedic doctor arrived at the outpatient department of Traditional Chinese Medicine Orthopedics at the same time.
As a result, they were shocked to see the spectacular scene of one or two hundred patients queuing up for treatment.
Perhaps they never thought that there would be so many patients seeking treatment at Traditional Chinese Medicine Orthopedics.
"Excuse me, who is Dr. Luo? We came here specifically to register for the surgery schedule."
Several patients' family members entered the outpatient department. They only knew Li Quan, who had made rounds on the ward in the morning.
"I'm Doctor Luo!"
"Everyone is here, but I'm a little busy now. You guys sit over there and wait for a while. I'll arrange the surgery time for your relatives and register them right away." Luo Wenhao asked several patients' family members to sit down nearby.
These were all instructed by Li Quan in advance.
The four family members looked at each other, and we could see each other's shock in our eyes.
"Next!"
Li Quan doesn't care about these people.
He believed that after seeing the results of the on-site treatment, these family members would know what to choose.
If you really don't understand, there's nothing you can do.
Only those few patients can be treated with surgery.
At this time, under the gaze of four family members, a man in his fifties was carried into the outpatient department. The man kept shouting in pain and groaning.
"Doctor Li, please help my dad! He accidentally fell off the ladder and broke his leg."
The patient's son begged anxiously.
"Don't worry, I'll check your father first."
Li Quan completed a preliminary physical examination and pulse diagnosis on the patient.
"Your father's right knee joint may be seriously injured. Let's do an X-ray first and then see the situation for further treatment!"
On the one hand, the patient was older, and on the other hand, he fell from a ladder, which may have caused a very strong and violent impact on his kneecap.
Judging from the results of the pulse diagnosis just now, it should be possible to reposition it manually.
However, Li Quan was not sure until the film came out.
The patient went for a checkup, and before Li Quan called the next one, a family member came with a little boy of about four or five years old, holding the X-ray film that had just been taken.
One of the little boy's arms hung limply like a noodle, looking very scary.
"Doctor Li, we have completed the examination. Please help me take a look."
Li Quan took the film and looked at it.
"According to the examination results, your child only has a dislocated left shoulder. I can simply reposition it manually."
Dr. Luo Wenhao next to him wrote out the bill to the patient.
"Manual reduction, 260 yuan."
The patient's parents paid the fee on the spot using their mobile phone.
Li Quan treated the child in front of the four family members who were specially invited.
Just grab the child's arm, gently move it a few times, and then lift it up.
“Crack!”
After a sound of bones cracking, the child's arm, which had been drooping due to abuse, was connected on the spot.
"Raise your hand and try."
Li Quan said with a smile.
The child tried to raise his injured hand, and then a happy smile broke out on his face.
The family members standing nearby were equally happy.
"Okay, get a bottle of calcium tablets and take them home. Then don't lift heavy objects with this arm or swing it violently for a month. It should be fine."
Li Quan feels particularly happy every time he successfully cures a patient.
The four family members sitting by the wall saw with their own eyes that Li Quan cured a patient with a broken hand in just three or four seconds. Their prejudice against traditional Chinese orthopedics was completely gone.
Not long after, the patient with a broken leg came back after the examination.
Li Quan took the film and looked through it carefully.
"Doctor Li, is my father's leg injury serious? Will he become disabled?" The patient's son was most worried that his father's broken leg could not be cured and he would become disabled.
"From the film, it's a blessing in disguise. Although the bone structure of our knee joint is unstable, there are strong ligaments and muscles around and inside the joint to protect it. Generally speaking, knee dislocation is relatively rare.
Often, only when a strong direct violent impact on the upper end of the tibia or indirect violence causes rotation or hyperextension injury to the knee joint can the upper end of the tibia be dislocated backwards or forwards.
This is the case with your father.
I can try to reset your father's bones manually. If successful, he can be discharged from the hospital immediately without surgery. The patient will suffer less, and the cost of treatment will be much lower than surgery."
The following words of Li Quan were also spoken to the four invited family members.
"Please try to treat my dad by repositioning him manually first!" the patient's son begged.
"Sure! You pay the fee first, and I'll move your father to the treatment bed." Not long after Li Quan finished speaking, Doctor Luo prepared the bill.
The two have been working together for a long time and have a very good understanding of each other.
Everything was ready and Li Quan began to treat the patient.
It took less than a minute.
He smiled and said, "Okay, you can try to get out of bed and walk around."
The patient who was lying in bed and crying in pain just now tried to get out of bed, and he actually stood up and was able to walk on his own.
“A miracle doctor!”
The patient couldn't help but praise.
"I don't dare to call myself a miracle doctor! Your knee was seriously injured because of the fall. Although I have reconnected your joint, it will definitely still hurt when you walk. I will prescribe some medicine for you. Remember to take it when you go back. Rest for about half a month to a month, and you will be back to normal."
This is exactly the effect Li Quan wanted.
His eyes glanced at the four family members sitting against the wall intentionally or unintentionally, and he already had an idea in his mind.
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you!"
The patient nodded repeatedly, and his trust in Li Quan reached its peak.
Before leaving, the patient and his son expressed their gratitude to Li Quan profusely.
After seeing the two men off, Li Quan winked at Luo Wenhao.
Doctor Luo stood up and walked towards the four family members.
"Okay, I'll register the surgery time for you now. Who is Lin Yougui's family member? The surgery is scheduled to start at 5:40 this afternoon. Any questions?"
Luo Wenhao asked seriously.
"It's me! It's me!"
A man in his thirties wearing glasses stood up.
"Doctor Luo, can you postpone my dad's surgery?"
The man with glasses had just witnessed Li Quan's traditional Chinese medicine bone-setting technique with his own eyes. The treatment effect could definitely beat surgical treatment in seconds.
It saves money and time, and patients suffer less.
Maybe he can be discharged from the hospital today.
There are so many benefits.
He is not stupid, so he naturally knows what to choose.
"Mr. Lin, what do you mean? The hospital has scheduled an operation for your father. If you don't agree, then it can only be postponed. The next time the operation is scheduled, it may be two days later ."
Luo Wenhao asked even though he knew the answer.
Li Quan was sitting in the front and couldn't help laughing when he heard it.
When an honest person tries to deceive others, he has many tricks up his sleeve.
"I just witnessed Dr. Li's Chinese . I realized that my previous prejudice against Chinese medicine was a very stupid thing. I want to bring my father to Dr. Li for treatment. I will try Chinese bone-setting techniques first. If it doesn't work, it won't be too late to have surgery."
The man with glasses expressed his thoughts.
"Doctor Li, I didn't understand your good intentions this morning. I apologize. Can you give my father some Chinese medicine treatment?"
He went from being resistant at first to now actively asking Li Quan to help with his father's treatment.
