Chapter 504: The first eye patient cured, a sudden blindness accident
"Sir, let me check your eyes." Li Quan carefully turned over the patient's left eyelid for examination.
No foreign objects were seen at the moment.
Moreover, when I turned over the patient's eyelids, he cried out in pain, making the operation difficult.
"It may be conjunctivitis caused by foreign objects in the eye. Let me shine the light when I lift up the eyelids to check." Li Quan had just lifted up the patient's eyelids. Although no foreign objects were found, he found that when he lifted up the patient's lower eyelids to check, the patient's complaints of pain were much less.
As soon as he raised his eyelids, the patient screamed.
It is estimated that the foreign body is hidden in the upper eyelid.
However, the upper eyelid is deeper, so it is difficult to see deeper.
Plus the eyes have a special structure.
Inside the eyelid is a spherical vitreous body, which is very slippery.
Usually, if a smaller foreign body invades the eye, it will slide to the position covered by the lower eyelid due to the movement of the eyeball and eyelid.
The foreign body in the patient's eye has not slipped out for half a year, which means it is quite large and is stuck somewhere in the area covered by the upper eyelid and cannot slide out.
This time, Li Quan used eye examination tools to carefully open the patient's upper eyelid.
The nurse held a light to help with the searchlight.
There was no corneal injury or disease.
This is the greatest luck.
If the cornea is injured, the patient can easily go blind.
At this moment, a small black unidentified object appeared in Li Quan's sight at the conjunctival sac of the temporal fornix of the patient's left eye.
Normally, the inside of the eyelid is light red with countless tiny blood vessels. There is no such black stuff.
It seems that it is a foreign object that has invaded the eye.
Li Quan took a careful look and fortunately the foreign object did not injure his eyeball.
However, its presence also caused the patient's left eye to repeatedly become infected and develop conjunctivitis.
Now the cause has been identified.
Li Quan did not ask Director He to treat the patient, but instead prepared to cure the patient himself.
In addition to wanting to earn some skill points, he also wanted to teach Director He a lesson.
The other three chief physicians were all poached, but Director He stayed. Now it seems that it is not that Director He is very loyal to Huier Hospital, but that his medical skills are not very good.
The Golden Eagle Eye Hospital is not stupid, and it will definitely cost a lot of money to poach people.
Otherwise, as long as the doctor himself is not mentally ill, it is impossible for him to switch from a top-level tertiary hospital to an ordinary ophthalmology hospital.
Spending a lot of money to hire a doctor with mediocre medical skills is just a waste of money, is n't ?
"Sir, I have found the cause. Please go to the treatment area and I will wash you first."
Li Quan said to the patient.
"well!"
The patient did not look down on Li Quan just because he was young.
Everyone called Li Quan the dean, and he thought that the dean must be more capable than the chief physician.
There is equipment for flushing eyes behind the outpatient department.
After the patient sat down, Li Quan began to wash the patient carefully.
This foreign body may have remained in the eye for a long time, and it took a long time to flush it out.
Li Quan took a sterile cotton swab, dipped it in eye drops, and wiped it carefully.
Because I was worried about hurting my eyes, I was very careful throughout the whole process.
After a while, the alien was taken out.
After careful identification, it was discovered that it was a small piece of branch.
It has begun to decay.
No wonder the patient's conjunctivitis recurs repeatedly.
Li Quan carefully examined the patient again and found no foreign matter. After cleaning the patient twice, he applied eye drops. The job was done.
[You have successfully performed the eye disease treatment skill, skill points +10. ]
Cool!
The experience value of the eye disease treatment skill increased by 10%. At this rate, if I can treat nine more eye disease patients, I can reach the minor success level.
"My eyes feel much better now! Before, everything I saw was blurry and painful. I kept crying for no reason. It turned out that this branch was the cause of the problem."
The patient smiled happily.
The cause of the illness that had troubled him for more than half a year was found, and under Li Quan's treatment, the pain was relieved.
He was naturally very happy.
"Dean, thank you! If I had been able to find you for treatment the first time, I wouldn't have suffered for more than half a year. You are so young and you can become the dean. You really have real ability."
The patient thanked Li Quan with gratitude.
He praised Li Quan's superb medical skills endlessly.
In fact, the patient's illness was very simple.
Director He, who was standing next to him, looked ashamed.
In front of the three interns, he was quite embarrassing today.
In summary, there is only one reason: he was not careful enough when diagnosing patients. To put it more deeply, it is because he lacks a strong sense of responsibility.
"Director He, you are the only chief physician left in the ophthalmology department of Huier Hospital. This is your chance. As long as you work hard to improve your medical skills, you will definitely be able to make further progress and be promoted to the second-level director."
Li Quan believed that if Director He really had the ambition to make progress, he would know what to do if he just gave him this hint.
If Director He continues to do his job without striving for progress, he will surely be overtaken by those who come after him.
"Don't worry, Dean. I will learn from my mistakes and work hard to grow. It's a lifelong learning process. I was indeed a little slack in the past."
Director He is tantamount to actively admitting his mistake.
"Keep going! Jiang Taigong was 72 years old when he met King Wen of Zhou and eventually achieved great success. You are only 50 years old, you are still young. As long as you work hard, you can achieve great things."
Li Quan smiled and gave a few words of encouragement, then walked out of Director He's outpatient clinic.
Before leaving, Director He had a smile on his face.
Only fifty years old, still young. Just this one sentence was enough to make Director He happy for most of the day.
Li Quan walked around and inspected the outpatient area at will.
Ophthalmology is also divided into ophthalmology and ophthalmic surgery.
However, almost all of the senior ophthalmologists at the Wellcome Hospital had left, so they had to use the residents to fill the void.
Li Quan took a round tour and found that there was only one deputy director in the ophthalmology department.
That is Director He.
The original head of the department was Professor Xia Ping.
Now that the person has left, the position of department director has remained vacant.
That won't work.
We must quickly find a way to promote a department director.
Li Quan stood in front of an outpatient clinic with its door closed, brows furrowed.
"Hello, Dean!"
A nurse passed by with medical equipment and greeted Li Quan respectfully.
"Why is the optic neurology clinic closed? Isn't it open today?" Li Quan asked.
"It's not that we're not open today, but we haven't been open for a long time. Since Director Xia left, we've rarely been open here." The nurse, who looked to be about 32 or 33 years old, spoke sincerely.
Unlike some nurses who are very cunning and try to avoid the important issues.
"Is Professor Xia Ping the only ophthalmologist in our Huier Hospital who knows how to treat optic nerve diseases?" Li Quan asked.
After all, it is a top-level tertiary hospital in the province, and the scale of the ophthalmology department of Huier Hospital is definitely not small.
It ranks among the top ophthalmology clinics in the province.
Logically speaking, there should still be a reserve of talent in the optic nerve field.
Otherwise, it would be the dereliction of duty of the Personnel Department and the short-sightedness of President Tan and the Office of the Dean.
"After Director Xia left, the attending physician, Dr. Xin, also saw patients for a few days, but...some problems arose later, and Dr. Xin stopped seeing patients." The nurse hesitated for a moment before whispering the truth.
"Okay, I got it. Go ahead and get busy!" Li Quan stared at the nurse's name tag: Liu Lu, nurse.
"Then I'll leave first. I'll be on duty at the nurses' station. You can call me if you need anything." Liu Lu smiled at Li Quan and left quickly.
Li Quan felt that the optic nerve clinic must be opened.
Keeping the door closed all the time, isn't that pushing the patients away?
This was just a casual inspection, and I found that there are quite a few ophthalmic problems.
Li Quan returned to his office calmly.
He called Director Hu in as well.
"I just went to the ophthalmology department and found a lot of problems. Why hasn't a new director been appointed in such a long time? "
Li Quan asked.
"After Director He Zhen forced a large number of senior ophthalmologists to resign, he discussed this matter with Assistant Director Jiang. It's not that he didn't want to promote a new department director, but he didn't dare.
Because the only chief physician left is Director He.
However, Director He did not express any opinion to Dean He Zhen. He even accused Dean He Zhen of driving away all the senior doctors in the ophthalmology department on some occasions, and he was the sinner of the ophthalmology department.
Dean He Zhen naturally did not want to promote such a person to be the head of the department.
If they promoted someone else, they would be afraid that Director He, the only one left, would be forced to leave. So they could only sit on their hands and do nothing.
In the end, before I could think of a better way, you pulled me down."
Director Hu explained the reasons in detail.
Li Quan nodded and laughed in his heart. That idiot He Zhen actually gets scared sometimes.
But think about it, if he drives out all the chief ophthalmologists within a month of taking office, he will be almost out of his own skin.
At that time, the health bureau will pay attention to it and send people to investigate.
He Zhen is likely to be punished or even dismissed from his post.
"Mr. He, are there any capable people in the ophthalmology department? He must be someone with both good abilities and good moral character." Li Quan was preparing to promote a new director of the ophthalmology department.
"Well... yes, he has, but he had a medical accident some time ago, so he is currently only allowed to do some simple, low-risk medical work."
Assistant Dean He said without hesitation that there was such a person.
This made Li Quan very curious.
Since he has good abilities and good morals, how could a medical accident happen?
"Who is that ophthalmologist? Tell me more about him."
Li Quan was very interested in this person.
"This person is the attending physician of the ophthalmology department. He has good medical skills in the field of retina and optic nerve, and his cultural level is not low. He has a postgraduate degree. However, after Professor Zhang Ping of the ophthalmology department left some time ago, he was ordered to sit in the optic nerve clinic with extremely high risks.
Then a patient was admitted.
As a result, not only did the patient not get cured, but he became blind instead.
For this reason, the family members brought people to the hospital to make a scene and even took him to court, demanding a huge compensation of more than one million.
This medical accident is still under investigation and the superiors have not yet released the results.
Affected by this accident, he was also given the cold shoulder by the hospital.”
After listening to He Yuanzhu's narration, Li Quan's heart was slightly moved.
When he was inspecting the ophthalmology department just now, the female nurse named Liu Lu also mentioned a similar person to him.
Although it wasn't explained in such detail.
However, in many aspects, it is consistent with the person that Assistant Dean He described.
"Is the doctor you are talking about called Xin Le?" Li Quan asked.
"Yes, it's him! It turns out that the dean knew about it a long time ago." Assistant Dean He nodded repeatedly. " Dr. Xin Le was just unlucky. It's hard to say whether the patient he encountered was blinded by him. But his future is definitely affected."
He Yuanzhu and Xin Le had a similar fate.
Because of the mistress incident many years ago, he has been stuck in the position of personnel chief for many years without being promoted.
He had the qualifications, achievements and abilities, but because of that incident, he was never able to get promoted.
Dr. Xin Le was affected by this medical accident which had not yet been determined and was directly relegated to the cold palace of the hospital.
"Regarding Dr. Xin Le's medical accident, are there any backup copies of the medical records?" Li Quan asked Director Hu.
Since the superiors have sent people to investigate this accident, they will definitely ask for the medical records and other information to be sealed and taken away.
"The medical records were archived at the time. I can print them out for you to review now." Director Hu quickly printed out the medical records and other information of the medical accident.
Li Quan took it and read it carefully.
When the patient came, he was treated for acute optic neuritis.
Dr. Xin Le treated the patient and used hormone therapy, but the patient became completely blind the next day.
According to treatment principles, if acute optic neuritis is diagnosed in the early stages, it is completely legal to use hormone treatment. This is also the correct treatment method.
This is probably also the reason why the higher-ups have been slow to come to a conclusion after their investigation.
Li Quan read the medical records and the patient's medical history several times, looking for clues.
Since you are planning to make use of Xin Le, you have to find a way to help him.
Help him deal with this medical accident.
If he is guilty, he will be punished and learn a lesson. If he is not guilty, then he will be given justice.
Acute optic neuritis is a general term for acute inflammation of any part of the optic nerve, and refers to diseases such as inflammatory demyelination, infection, and nonspecific inflammation of the optic nerve.
Generally speaking, acute optic neuritis can be cured through both Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine treatment.
In the eye disease treatment skills that Li Quan learned, this type of acute optic neuritis is called sudden blindness.
It is usually a serious eye disease that causes a sharp decrease in vision in one or both eyes, or even blindness.
The treatment methods of traditional Chinese medicine are very different from those of Western medicine.
"What is the patient's current condition? Is our hospital doing any follow-up work?" Li Quan asked.
"We did call back. However, the family and the patient were very hostile to our hospital and it was difficult to communicate. We learned from the health bureau and the patient's friends that the patient is still blind.
I have already started learning life skills such as guiding the blind.”
Director Hu is also a capable official. At least no matter what questions Li Quan asks her, she will answer them with all the answers.
This is a competent director of the hospital office.
"Did the patient seek treatment at any other hospital later?"
Li Quan felt that it was impossible for the patient to be so desperate.
At least go to another hospital to see if there is still hope. It’s not too late to learn life skills after blindness.
