Chapter 471: The Master Has Fallen, So Bad That Pus Is Oozing from His Feet
Sitting in the outpatient clinic of Traditional Chinese Medicine Orthopedics, Li Quan always felt a little uneasy.
It seems like something bad happened.
He forced himself to concentrate on treating the patient. At about 10:40 in the afternoon, the sudden ringing of his cell phone startled Li Quan.
I took out my cell phone and saw that it was a call from Professor Sun Limin.
It has been almost two months since Sun Limin and I exchanged phone numbers, but this seems to be the first time we have spoken directly. Usually, we contact each other via WeChat.
She called suddenly, and during working hours, so it must be something urgent.
After the call was connected, Li Quan said in a respectful tone, "Hello, Professor Sun! I guess you must have something urgent."
Before Li Quan could finish, Sun Limin shouted anxiously on the other end of the phone, "Doctor Li, please come to the hospital conference room immediately. Director Liu is in trouble."
Li Quan's heart sank suddenly.
A mentor is like a father to me. How could something like this suddenly happen to him?
No time to ask in detail.
"I'll be there right away!"
After Li Quan hung up the phone, he spoke to doctors Luo and Tang at a very fast speed.
"You guys hold on first, I don't know when I'll be back."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Quan ran out of the outpatient clinic like the wind.
It takes at least six or seven minutes to walk from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Orthopedic Clinic to the hospital's large conference room normally.
When Li Quan heard that his mentor was in trouble, he was extremely anxious and he ran as fast as lightning.
There is no hiding the powerful strength anymore.
Like a shadow, it quickly ran past the patients, their families, and medical staff.
“So fast!”
Many people just saw a figure rushing past them, and when they turned around to look again, the person was already more than ten meters away.
It took Li Quan less than two minutes to rush into the conference room.
As soon as he entered the conference room, he saw a man standing there and speaking with a smug look on his face.
This person is none other than Director He.
At the same time, there were many people in the conference room, basically the hospital management and the directors and deputy directors of various departments, including some chief physicians.
Director Wan from the Health Bureau came in person.
Sitting next to Director Wan was a leader of a higher status. At least Director Wan looked like a trembling subordinate next to this person.
It seems that the superiors attach great importance to the replacement of the director of Huier Hospital.
But under normal circumstances, no matter how serious the matter is, the arrival of a director of the Health Bureau is already a high standard.
How come there is a leader of a higher rank coming at the same time?
This hint of surprise only flashed through Li Quan's mind for a moment.
His eyes anxiously searched for the figure of his mentor.
Li Quan suddenly pushed the door open and rushed into the conference room, causing everyone who was in the meeting to turn around and look at him in surprise.
"Li Quan, what are you doing? Do you understand the rules?"
Director He looked up and scolded.
Which of the people present, including Vice President Min, was not of higher rank than him? None of them spoke. As the director of the functional neurosurgery department, he probably had no place to take the place and did not even have the right to speak.
But at this moment, Director He frowned and angrily scolded Li Quan, and everyone's face showed an expression of matter-of-factness.
Li Quan couldn't help but be secretly shocked.
Is this a done deal?
It seems that Director He has most likely been elected as the new director of Huier Hospital.
But how could this young doctor, who had been parachuted into Weil Hospital for less than a month, achieve such a quick promotion?
This incredible promotion speed is even faster than riding a rocket.
"Where is my teacher?" Li Quan looked around but didn't see Professor Liu or Professor Sun Limin.
"What's your attitude? Director Wan of the Health Bureau and the leaders of the provincial department are all sitting here. Not only did you barge into the meeting room rudely, but you also questioned who you were with this attitude..."
Director He is worthy of having worked in a government agency. He is really good at exaggerating things.
Moreover, they deliberately brought up Director Wan and the leaders of the provincial department to sow discord between Li Quan and the leaders, leaving a very bad impression on Li Quan in the minds of the leaders.
"Xiao Li, you can't be so arrogant just because you have some ability!" Assistant Dean Jiang added fuel to the fire.
Li Quan's situation suddenly became extremely unfavorable.
"Xiao Li, you were worried about your teacher's health, so you spoke and acted hastily. I can understand you. You must be more careful next time. Director Liu has been sent to the emergency department for rescue. You should go quickly."
At this critical moment, Vice President Min spoke up to help Li Quan out of the situation.
Director Wan and the leaders of the provincial department immediately looked much better.
They could understand that he was so reckless because he was worried about the teacher's health. It also proved that this young doctor knew how to be grateful and filial.
"Thank you!"
Li Quan turned quickly and ran towards the emergency room.
Director He had just been elected as the dean, so he didn't dare to do anything to Vice Dean Min.
"Stop right there! You haven't apologized to the provincial department leaders and Director Wan yet!" Director He spared no effort to flatter Director Wan and the provincial department leaders.
At the same time, he also intended to sow discord between Li Quan and his leaders again.
Li Quan turned a deaf ear and ran away like the wind.
"It's outrageous! It's outrageous!" Director He was so angry that he kept scolding from behind.
Li Quan rushed into the emergency department.
This is Director Zhang's territory, and Li Quan has also worked in the emergency department for a few days, so he is quite familiar with the personnel.
"Doctor Li, are you here to see Professor Liu? He is currently undergoing emergency treatment in the room." Doctor Wang Lishu said to Li Quan.
"Okay, thank you!"
Li Quan rushed to the emergency room and knocked on the door.
I basically know all the doctors inside, and Professor Tang from the Department of Internal Medicine is also here.
Someone opened the door and let Li Quan in.
In the emergency room, Professor Liu was seen with tubes inserted all over his body. He was wearing a ventilator and his face was pale. His heart rate was over 160 and his blood pressure was also very high. He was currently in a semi-comatose state.
Professor Tang, Professor Sun Limin and two other professors from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology were all here.
Director Zhang is here too.
Professor Liu is highly respected in the hospital. Now that something has suddenly happened, everyone has extended a helping hand in this critical moment.
"How is my teacher doing?" Li Quan asked with a sad face.
He didn't understand why a healthy person suddenly fell ill during a meeting?
He met Professor Liu yesterday and everything seemed normal.
Li Quan's visual diagnosis skills are now very advanced and can diagnose diseases that are about to occur.
If Professor Liu really had a potential serious illness that was about to occur, Li Quan would definitely be able to diagnose it.
"Director Liu was in a meeting and his blood pressure rose because of the great mental stimulation. In addition, he is old and his blood vessels are severely aged and fragile. Now the examination shows that there is intracranial hemorrhage. Antihypertensive drugs and measures to lower blood pressure have been used, but the situation is still very dangerous."
Professor Sun Limin appeared very calm.
It's very good that they were able to find out the cause of Professor Liu's illness in such a short time.
"Teacher, I'm late. Let me feel your pulse..." Li Quanqiang suppressed his grief and knelt in front of the emergency table to feel Professor Liu's pulse.
This scene moved everyone present.
There was even a young nurse who had a low tear point and her eyes were red.
Given Li Quan’s current status, this kneeling carries a heavy weight.
After a moment, Li Quan's expression relaxed a little.
"There is a ruptured blood vessel in the brain, but no serious lesions were found in other parts of the body. Bring the silver needle here immediately, and I will personally use the silver needle method to seal the acupoints for the teacher to stop the bleeding." Li Quan stood up.
"What are you still standing there for? Go get the silver needle!"
Director Zhang knows Li Quan's abilities.
Although Huier Hospital's brain department business is now growing steadily and doing better and better, the real capable person is Li Quan.
Some patients with particularly difficult-to-treat cerebral hemorrhage had to be rescued by asking Li Quan to come for consultation and personally perform acupuncture.
Soon, the silver needle was brought.
Li Quan gave Professor Liu an acupuncture injection to stop the bleeding with a serious face.
Twenty minutes later, the bleeding was successfully stopped.
"Why haven't the two directors of the neurology department come yet?" Director Zhang couldn't help but look outside anxiously.
In case of intracranial hemorrhage, a craniotomy must be performed to drain the blood from the cranial cavity, and the bleeding points must be repaired or treated in other ways.
"My silver needles can't stop bleeding for long. I have to perform a craniotomy to save him." Li Quan temporarily controlled Professor Liu's condition, but his silver needles could not repair the bleeding points.
Intracranial hemorrhage is usually caused by a ruptured artery.
This must be repaired surgically.
"I'll call again to urge them." Director Zhang had previously asked the nurse to call the two directors of the neurology department to come for a consultation.
But such a long time has passed and no one has come.
This is extremely abnormal.
"Director Chen, hello, I'm Director Zhang from the emergency department. I'd like to ask you and Director Yin to come to the emergency room to rescue the patient. Can you be quicker?"
"You said that Dean He asked you to report the work of the brain department to Director Wan and the leaders of the provincial department?"
Director Zhang showed an angry expression on his face.
"Director Zhang, I'm here to make a call."
Professor Tang's face was as gloomy as water.
He has experienced all kinds of struggles in the hospital since he was an intern.
Human lives are at stake now, but the newly appointed Dean He actually ignored human lives and forced the two directors of the neurology departments to report on their work. Isn't this nonsense?
It was obvious that they wanted to make it impossible for Professor Liu to be saved.
Professor Tang dialed a number directly.
"Hello, Director Wan. I have an urgent matter to report to you. There is a critically ill patient in the emergency department who urgently needs Director Chen and Director Yin from the neurology department to come and rescue him. Do you think it is possible to let them report their work later?"
Professor Tang is the second most important doctor in Huier Hospital. Over the years, he has accumulated a very wide network of contacts.
He called Director Wan directly to report.
"Okay, thank you for your understanding!" Professor Tang nodded to Li Quan and others after ending the call. "The two directors of the Department of Neurology will be here soon. Let's make preparations for the operation right away."
Shave Professor Liu's hair, disinfect him, and prepare surgical instruments.
Preparations before surgery are in full swing.
Both thoracotomy and craniotomy are major surgeries and are extremely risky.
Generally speaking, surgeons at the chief level would not dare to perform this type of operation.
At least he has to be deputy director or above.
Li Quan hated Director He and Dean Jiang to the extreme. This was no longer a struggle for interests, but a blood feud of life and death.
It must be repaid with the blood of the enemy.
Not long after, the two directors of the neurology department rushed to the emergency room, sweating profusely.
Both of them were quite old and were out of breath.
"Surgery now!"
Both of them looked ashamed.
They acted like turtles in front of the newly appointed Dean He, knowing that Professor Liu was waiting for them to rescue him, but they did not dare to say it in front of Director Wan.
The selfishness of human nature is more easily revealed in the face of major interests.
The surgical preparations were in place. After checking the intracranial hemorrhage and fluid accumulation, the two men quickly determined the incision point and performed a direct craniotomy.
Li Quan assisted from the side.
…
Two hours later, the operation was successful.
Li Quan sutured Professor Liu's wound personally.
This was also the first time he noticed that Professor Liu's head was so thin after shaving his head.
This mentor who had protected him like a mountain was as strong as a giant in Li Quan's mind. Now that he had fallen, Li Quan realized that his mentor's body was so thin.
"Teacher, you have always helped me and protected me. You have shielded me from the wind, rain, swords and guns. From now on, I will protect you."
Li Quan looked at his teacher with his eyes closed, and he felt very uncomfortable.
"Well, Director Liu's life has been saved. He will be sent back to the intensive care unit for two days of close monitoring. If nothing unexpected happens, he can be transferred to a general ward to recuperate slowly. Be careful not to let him be mentally stimulated again."
After the operation, Director Chen and Director Yin felt guilty and left in a hurry.
Li Quan didn't blame these two people.
Others are the butchers and I am the meat.
The current Director He had just been promoted to the dean, and with the support of Assistant Director Jiang, he was at the peak of his career. They were just two chief physicians in the Department of Neurology, and it was normal that they did not dare to offend Director He in order to protect themselves.
It is impossible to expect everyone to be brave and fearless.
The doctors at the bottom of the hospital are not only tired, but also bear great risks and their salaries are shockingly low. However, doctors at the director level like them are very busy, especially now that the brain department of Huier Hospital is growing strongly.
The income of both of them must be extremely staggering.
In order to live a good life and provide a better economic foundation for their families, they are unwilling to go against Dean He. This is human nature and human common sense.
Li Quan sent the teacher to the ICU, where outsiders were not allowed to enter.
Even Li Quan is not allowed to enter.
There are medical staff on duty here 24 hours a day.
Standing outside the ICU, Li Quan realized at this moment that he did not know the phone numbers of Professor Liu's wife and children.
Now that something has happened to Professor Liu, his family must be notified.
Professor Liu's wife is not young anymore. When she heard that her husband was in trouble, she was worried that she would not be able to handle it.
Therefore, it is best to notify Professor Liu’s children first.
"Doctor Li, don't be too sad. I believe Director Liu will be fine." Professor Sun Limin and Li Quan are not particularly close, but their relationship is much closer than that of ordinary colleagues.
When Li Quan's girlfriend was diagnosed with leukemia, he asked her for help.
In addition, she was very interested in the ancient Chinese medicine that Li Quan performed, so the relationship between the two was relatively close.
"Thank you!"
Li Quan nodded.
"By the way, before Professor Liu collapsed, he asked me to tell you that he was sorry for you." Sun Limin seemed to have just remembered this.
"The teacher said he's sorry for me? What does that mean? The teacher has been so kind to me, how could he be sorry for me?" Li Quan was full of confusion.
