Chapter 494: It’s over just like that. Don’t you feel guilty for making this money?
"I understand. The ice is not formed in one day. In the past two months, the management of the obstetrics and gynecology department has been chaotic and everyone is in danger. Many high-risk patients have been persuaded to leave. This has had a significant negative impact on our reputation.
In addition, Director Liu retired due to illness, and the obstetrics and gynecology department lacked a head coach who could take the lead, and the level of diagnosis and treatment fell to a lower level.
This is a fatal flaw.
Then the Provincial People's Hospital, Women and Children's Hospital, and Ocean Hospital all worked together in secret, hyping up the fact that Director Liu had retired due to illness, while at the same time publicizing what kind of difficult case their own hospitals had cured.
If you hadn't brought down Dean He in time, I estimate that the obstetrics and gynecology department of Huier Hospital would have been reduced to the business volume of a Class III B hospital in less than half a year."
Professor Sun Limin took over the responsibility of director of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at this time. Faced with internal and external troubles, it was a matter of time and effort.
It is too difficult for her to quickly stop the overall downward trend in obstetrics and gynecology business volume by her own efforts.
"Okay, I'll talk to the teacher and ask him to help us think of a solution. You should also conduct a hidden danger check on the entire obstetrics and gynecology department, and then get the diagnosis and treatment order back on track."
Li Quan gave her some instructions.
After handling this emergency in the obstetrics and gynecology department, Li Quan breathed a sigh of relief.
Obstetrics and gynecology is the most important department of Huier Hospital, and we must not allow it to decline.
If a hospital wants to increase its popularity and business volume, the simplest and most brutal way is to cure a few extremely difficult patients and then publicize it widely.
It is guaranteed that the number of consultations will increase immediately.
…
Li Quan came out of the obstetrics and gynecology building and went straight to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department.
As the dean, I am now standing at a different height, and my vision and perspective have also been elevated to a higher level.
In the past, he only had to keep an eye on the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department, but now he has to keep an eye on all the departments in the entire hospital.
Even if we cannot let a hundred flowers bloom, at least we should go one step further on the existing basis.
In the past, almost all the old departments regarded the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department as an enemy.
At that time, Li Quan's status was low, and it was all up to Professor Liu to bear the pressure and support the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Now, Li Quan himself has become a backer, and he can finally make drastic changes to develop the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department.
Soon, Li Quan arrived at the outpatient department of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
From a distance, I could only see two patients receiving treatment in the outpatient department.
Compared with the bustling scenes when Li Quan was seeing patients before, the difference is like heaven and earth.
"You bastard, it's all He Zhen's fault." Li Quan looked at the Traditional Chinese Medicine department that he had worked hard to run for more than a month. All the fruits of his labor had been destroyed by He Zhen.
He knew that He Zhen did this because the Traditional Chinese Medicine Orthopedics Department of Huier Hospital had snatched patients from Jiang's Orthopedic Hospital.
Killing the Traditional Chinese Medicine Orthopedics Department of Huier Hospital is equivalent to helping Jiang's Orthopedics eliminate a strong rival.
"Hello, Doctor Li!"
"Didn't you say you weren't going to be a doctor here anymore?"
The two patients were pleasantly surprised and shocked to see Li Quan suddenly appear.
"Oh, I was away for a while, but I'm back now." Li Quan talked to the two patients with a smile.
"Great! Your medical skills are so good, we think it would be a pity if you really left. Last month, my son broke his leg, and I came here to see you. The doctor here told us that you had resigned. Then a chief physician named Kang said that he was the one who treated my son.
As a result, he almost broke my son’s leg.”
The man who came for medical treatment poured out his grievances to Li Quan.
"This time, I was accidentally hit on the arm by a steel pipe that fell from the sky while I was working. I went to Jiang's Orthopedic Hospital for treatment, and they said I needed surgery. The recovery period would be at least half a year. It might not be cured.
I was thinking of coming to see you again."
The man's right hand was in a sling, and his eyes were filled with tears as he talked about these things.
He was really happy to learn unexpectedly that Li Quan was back.
This time I came to the right place.
"Thank you for your trust in me. I think I will work at Huier Hospital in the future and will never leave. If I really have to leave one day, I will train doctors who can take over. I will never let you patients make a wasted trip again."
After listening to the patient's complaint, Li Quan suddenly felt that he was somewhat irresponsible when he resigned.
I'm sorry to the patients who trusted him.
Even though he immediately posted an announcement on Douyin about his departure from Huier Hospital.
There are still many uninformed patients who come to him for treatment.
In the end, either you'll have made a wasted trip, or worse, be cheated by that coward Kang Ziquan.
"Doctor Luo, has this patient been examined?" Li Quan looked at the attending physician Luo Wenhao.
"Well, we just finished an X-ray examination, and it's a difficult joint dislocation. With my ability and that of Doctor Tang, we are unable to manually reposition the patient." Luo Wenhao gave the examination results to Li Quan for review.
Li Quan took a look at the image.
This is a typical elbow dislocation.
Because the structure of the elbow joint is very complex, its upper end is a thick humerus, and then it is connected to the radius and ulna through complex structures such as the joint capsule and radial neck.
For an orthopedic surgeon with some skills, it is no problem to manually reduce simple elbow displacement or dislocation.
However, the patient in this case not only has a dislocation of the pulley, but also a displacement of the connection between the humeral head and the radial neck at the back.
With such a serious elbow dislocation, it can be inferred that the patient's arm bones must have suffered great damage.
Some cracks are invisible to the naked eye.
Even high-definition MRI couldn't detect it.
In order to reposition a patient's joint, a lot of force is required.
This could cause further damage to the patient's bones.
Moreover, this patient's joint reduction was extremely difficult.
It is estimated that even if Director Jiang of Jiang's Orthopedics takes action personally, he may not be able to solve the problem.
A more reliable treatment option is to first reposition the radial dislocation and then reposition the ulna through surgery.
"Mr. Guan, your elbow dislocation is very serious and it is extremely difficult to reduce it manually. I can try to reduce it for you, but no one can guarantee it. If the reduction fails, then surgery is the only option."
Li Quan said to the patient.
He is now much more tactful in communicating with patients than when he first started as a resident physician.
He never speaks too confidently when he should be cautious.
"Okay, okay, okay. As long as you can help me cure it, I can rest assured." The patient agreed happily.
After the patient paid the fee, Li Quan began to treat him.
"Hu Yue'er, as usual, let's shoot a treatment video."
Li Quan instructed Hu Yue'er.
"Okay!"
She has experienced the ups and downs of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Orthopedics Department in the past two months, and personally experienced how the department went from limited numbers of patients per day and being overcrowded to now seeing only a few patients a day.
She longed to return to her former glory days.
Now that Li Quan has returned to Huier Hospital, he will surely make the business of traditional Chinese orthopedics explode again.
"Mr. Guan, please sit tight. It will be a little painful when you put it back in place, just bear with it."
Li Quan grabbed the patient's arm and slowly searched for the bone.
Then twist hard.
"Ouch—it hurts, it hurts..." Mr. Guan screamed like a pig being slaughtered because of the twisting of his body.
Li Quan, however, had a cold and heartless expression on his face.
"Be patient."
He continued to twist the patient's already dislocated hand.
"Crack!"
A relatively crisp bone cracking sound was heard, and everyone's heart trembled violently twice.
The bone cracking sound just now sounded a bit like the sound of bones being broken.
Mr. Guan's face turned pale with pain.
"Hold on, we've only reset the radius." Li Quan looked calm and composed, and this time he didn't grab Mr. Guan's hand and twist it desperately. Instead, he held it up and down and pushed hard.
"Bang!"
It's like a loose button is fastened into a female button.
"Okay, the dislocated joints have all been successfully reset. But don't be happy too soon. The joints have been successfully reset, but your bones have been damaged. It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. I have to prescribe some medicine for you, one for external application and one for internal use. Then after you recover, I'll prescribe three bottles of calcium tablets to replenish your calcium.
I guess you won’t be able to do any heavy work for a month.”
Li Quan said to Mr. Guan.
Mr. Guan tried to move his right hand. It still hurt a little, but he could bend it, raise it, and move it freely.
"Doctor Li, thank you, thank you so much. If it weren't for your miraculous healing skills, I don't know what would have happened!" Mr. Guan expressed his gratitude to Li Quan repeatedly.
After successfully curing one patient, another patient who came for treatment just came back after taking an X-ray.
He saw that the patient who was in front of him and was extremely difficult to treat was cured in a short time. He couldn't help but feel jealous.
"Doctor Li, I came here specifically for your treatment because of your reputation. Can you treat me personally?"
The patient's neck was like a zombie's. He could neither turn left nor right, nor lower or raise his head.
"Sure! Let me see your test results."
Li Quan took it and looked at it.
This patient didn't have a serious illness. It was just what is commonly known as a stiff neck.
Many people, because they do not understand medicine, think that stiff neck is caused by damage to the cervical vertebrae.
Then I went to the hospital to get an orthopedic outpatient appointment.
In fact, this is a completely wrong understanding.
Stiff neck is generally manifested by pain and discomfort in the back of the neck and upper back after getting up, which is mostly on one side, or pain on both sides, or worse on one side and less on the other. As the body changes from lying flat to upright, the strength of the neck muscles changes, which can cause progressive worsening of the condition and even affect the shoulders, chest and back.
Due to the pain, the neck movement is impaired and cannot rotate freely.
In severe cases, patients may have difficulty bending forward or backward, and the head may even become rigid in an abnormal position, tilting toward the affected side.
During the examination, the neck muscles are tender, the superficial muscles are spasmodic and stiff, and there is a "stringy" feeling when touched.
This is actually due to incorrect sleeping posture, or cold in the neck, which may cause damage to the neck muscles, or blood stasis, and blockage of tendons and meridians.
When Li Quan saw the examination form handed over by the patient, his face turned dark.
The patient was suffering from stiff neck, but the examination result prescribed was an X-ray of the cervical spine.
Isn't this nonsense?
It's just such a bastard.
Doctor Luo and Tang Zhengyuan beside them both lowered their heads, looking as if they had done something wrong.
They thought Li Quan would get angry on the spot, but he didn't scold them. Instead, he looked at the test results "carefully" and then said to the patient with a gentle expression.
"I have already seen your examination results. Let me feel your pulse. After I determine the location of the lesion, I will use traditional Chinese medicine to reposition it. If there are no special circumstances, it should be cured on the spot."
Before Li Quan learned the art of opening the meridians, he was very confident in treating stiff neck.
Now that he has learned the art of opening the meridians, combined with his Chinese medicine massage and master-level acupuncture, I guarantee that he can cure every patient.
After taking the patient's pulse, Li Quan discovered that there was blood stasis in the tendons on the left side of the patient's neck.
The patient was asked to pay the fee immediately, and then silver needles were used to dredge the meridians and unblock the blocked qi and blood.
Then massage the patient's shoulder and neck muscles.
"Okay, turn around and try again."
Li Quan said to the patient with a smile.
The patient tried to move his neck and a happy expression appeared on his face.
"It's really healed! It's really healed! Doctor Li is really worthy of his reputation, he is a real miracle doctor. I used to have a stiff neck, even if I went to the hospital there was no special medicine, the pain would last for at least three to five days. This time it was more serious than any other time, I was in so much pain that I even wanted to die. I couldn't work either.
I thought the pain would last at least a week.
This time, I was cured on the spot at a cost of only a few hundred yuan. My visit was not in vain. Thank you.”
The patient was filled with gratitude to Li Quan.
"It is our duty as doctors to cure diseases and save lives. You are welcome."
Li Quan sent the patient out of the outpatient department with a smile. After watching the patient walk away, he closed the door and looked at Luo and Tang with cold eyes.
"Who just issued the examination application for the patient?"
Li Quan asked in a cold voice.
"Yes, it's me!" Luo Wenhao answered tremblingly.
He lowered his head with the expression of a child who had done something wrong.
"Knowing that the patient has stiff neck, why do you still prescribe an X-ray examination for the patient? What do you want to check? Tell me." Li Quan's expression was serious and his tone was stern.
"I...I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again next time..." Luo Wenhao admitted his mistake and begged for mercy in a sad voice.
He knew Li Quan's temper. If it was just a medical mistake, Li Quan might just scold him. But this time it was a medical ethics mistake.
With Li Quan's temper, it's possible that he would be fired directly.
"Dean, it was my idea. If you want to punish someone, punish me!" Tang Zhengyuan stood up and took all the blame.
"Oh, you are quite heroic. Don't you feel guilty for making money from patients? Why don't you act like a hero when you write out the checkup orders for patients?"
Li Quan became even angrier.
Anyone could hear the rage in his voice.
"Why do you do this? If you can't give a reasonable explanation today, you should write a letter of resignation and go to the personnel office to complete the formalities and leave. We at Huier Hospital will never retain any medical staff with questionable medical ethics."
Li Quan's voice turned harsher.
Hu Yue'er was so frightened that her face turned pale and she shrank back, trembling.
It was the first time she saw Li Quan get angry and have such a scary expression.
