Chapter 514: This is just optic nerve compression, the old man who got into trouble while drinking
Now, Professor Liu from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology has retired due to illness, and the number of patients seeking treatment is declining. It is no longer possible to see such a large number of people queuing up for treatment.
Even the emergency department is no longer as prosperous as it once was.
Because almost all of Weill Hospital's businesses are declining.
Only traditional Chinese medicine orthopedics is more popular than before.
Now, Li Quan had just spent an entire afternoon sitting in the least popular optic neurology clinic in the ophthalmology department. Unexpectedly, he made this least popular clinic extremely popular.
Dr. Xin Le had to admire the powerful influence of Li Quan.
At the same time, I also deeply realized that as long as I have superb medical skills, I don’t have to worry about not having patients coming to see me.
"You arrange for the patient to be examined first. I'll be here right after I finish my rounds at the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Orthopedics."
Li Quan originally just wanted to help out in the ophthalmology department and treat a few difficult cases.
I didn’t expect my influence to be so great.
It actually attracted so many patients to seek treatment.
Traditional Chinese medicine orthopedics is also the key department he is currently in charge of.
Luo and Tang can basically diagnose and treat most patients.
There are a few difficult cases that cannot be handled and Li Quan still needs to take action personally.
In addition, the eight interns assigned to the Department of Traditional Chinese Orthopedics are also working very hard to learn the traditional Chinese medicine bone-setting skills.
I believe that as long as they study hard for two or three months, they will be able to treat some simple bone injuries for patients.
After checking the inpatient ward of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Orthopedics Department, Li Quan quickly went to the ophthalmology clinic.
As soon as I arrived outside the optic neurology clinic, I saw a long queue.
Some patients or family members recognized Li Quan.
They all greeted him.
"Hello, Doctor Li!"
"Hello, Dean Li!"
Some people already know that Li Quan has become the dean.
Li Quan nodded in response and walked into the outpatient department.
"Dean, you are here!"
Doctor Xin Le quickly stood up to greet him.
"Is everything okay?" Li Quan found that Dr. Xin Le was treating a woman in her fifties.
The peak age for eye diseases starts at the age of 40.
Among young children, the more common diseases are myopia, trachoma, etc.
"We have only seen three patients so far, and everything is going well." Doctor Xin Le's medical skills are not bad, and he is fully capable of diagnosing and treating common optic nerve diseases.
Li Quan nodded, sat down and started calling out numbers.
Now that he has both certificates, he is qualified to practice medicine and prescribe medicine independently, so he can naturally treat different patients at the same time with Dr. Xin Le.
“Number 4!”
Li Quan was still a little uncomfortable without a nurse to help him.
Usually in the TCM orthopedics department or TCM hematology department, there are nurses helping to call numbers and assist.
There is no way now. There are no nurses in the optic neurology clinic, so the doctors have to do everything themselves.
However, in a situation like today, I am fully qualified to request a nurse to come and help.
"Doctor Xin, there should be enough nurses in the ophthalmology department, right?" Li Quan asked.
"Yeah, that's enough."
"Okay, get a nurse over here to help immediately."
Li Quan gave the order directly.
"This... is this a temporary transfer to help for a day?" Doctor Xin is currently the director of the ophthalmology department, promoted by Li Quan himself. Transferring a nurse to his outpatient clinic to help was originally just a small matter.
But he did not abuse his power, nor did he intend to use it for personal gain.
This made Li Quan very satisfied with his character.
"Let her help out temporarily for one day. If the number of patients is still high tomorrow, let her help out here permanently."
Li Quan set the tone.
It is estimated that there is a high possibility that this nurse will need to help here for a long time.
Unless there are unexpected events, the number of visits to ophthalmology departments will continue to increase.
Li Quan has this confidence.
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."
Dr. Xin Le called and made arrangements on the spot.
At this time, a little boy about ten years old was supported by his parents and walked into the outpatient clinic, his face full of anxiety.
"Doctor Li, my son was naughty and hit his head while playing with other children. I didn't pay attention to it at the time, but when he woke up the next morning, he said he couldn't see.
I did a lot of tests at the time, but the doctor couldn't find the cause of the disease.
They speculated that when my son hit his head, he might have damaged a nerve, causing the blindness.
I saw the treatment video you posted online and thought your medical skills were very advanced, so I brought my son here to watch it.”
As soon as the boy's father entered the door, he described the cause and condition of his son's illness to Li Quan.
"Don't worry, I'll check your son first."
Li Quan looked at the poor little boy. He was very thin, and the vitreous body of his eyes was obviously normal. From the outside, he looked no different from a normal person.
But when Li Quan tried to wave in front of the little boy, he didn't even respond.
Li Quan took the small flashlight for eye examination and shone it into the little boy's eyes.
"Little friend, can your eyes sense light?"
"Yeah, I can feel a ball of white light."
The little boy nodded.
It seems that the little boy's eyes just can't see, but he can still sense light.
This situation is better.
As long as the lesion is found, there is a high chance of curing it.
There was an obvious red and swollen area on the little boy's head.
Li Quan opened the little boy's eyelids and took a look, then began to take the boy's pulse.
After a moment, he felt relieved.
"Go get a CT scan of your head and eyes first. You don't have to worry too much, this disease can be cured." Li Quan just found out that the little boy had a hematoma on his head through taking his pulse.
The optic nerve was compressed to a certain extent, resulting in interruption.
It can be cured quickly with acupuncture and massage.
The patient took the examination application and went for the examination without mentioning it.
At this time, the nurse arranged by Dr. Xin Le finally came over.
"Hello, Dean! Hello, Director Xin!"
The nurse came in and greeted the two with a smile.
"Oh, it's you!" Li Quan was stunned when he saw the nurse coming in.
There are many coincidences in the world.
This nurse was actually the nurse who Li Quan stopped two days ago and asked why the optic nerve clinic was closed.
I remember her name was Liu Lu.
"Haha, I didn't expect the dean still remembered me." Liu Lu smiled happily, somewhat shyly.
"You answered my questions very sincerely and frankly that day, so I was quite impressed. Your temporary job is to call the number and assist our two doctors. Can you do it?"
Li Quan asked gently.
"Yes, I will do it!"
She nodded vigorously.
…
A moment later, the patient came back after the examination.
Li Quan took a look at the test results and found that they were exactly the same as his diagnosis.
Next, Li Quan gave the boy acupuncture to dredge his blood vessels and meridians, and then performed massage to help the injured area quickly reduce swelling and relieve blood stasis. Eventually, the boy's eyes returned to normal.
The boy's father kept bowing and kowtowing to Li Quan.
I am so grateful.
Li Quan's meridian-opening skill earned another 10 skill points. As long as he treats one more patient with a neurological disease, his meridian-opening skill can be upgraded.
"Dean, hearing about your reputation is worse than meeting you in person. Your medical skills are even better than the legends say."
Liu Lu worked as Li Quan's assistant and witnessed Li Quan using his magic to treat people.
The boy was originally blind, but after treatment, he miraculously recovered to normal.
The effect is truly immediate.
"Were my medical skills so bad before?" Li Quan asked deliberately.
"Ah... of course not, that's not what I meant..." Liu Lu explained hurriedly.
"Okay, okay, I was just kidding you. Let's call the next person."
Li Quan was just teasing her to tell her not to be so restrained.
Because she has been in a very nervous state since she entered the clinic. This is not good.
“Number 9!”
Liu Lu called the next patient into the pager.
Dr. Li Quan treated one patient, while Dr. Xin Le treated eight.
In fact, it’s not that Dr. Xin Le is so fast, but because his procedure for seeing patients is different from Li Quan’s.
Li Quan is a one-stop service.
From seeing the patient to curing him, all in one go.
Dr. Xin Le only writes out examination orders for patients, prescribes medicine, or admits them to the hospital.
The treatment efficiency cannot be compared with Li Quan at all.
Just then, there were bursts of quarreling outside.
It seemed like some patients waiting for treatment had started a fight.
Li Quan quickly got up and walked out of the outpatient department to check.
"Director Li, please treat my father first. After drinking today, he suddenly lost his sight." A man in his forties begged bitterly.
"How could you do this? We are all waiting in line for treatment. Why do you cut in line?"
The family of the patient who was number 9 was very angry.
"My dear brother, I know it was wrong of me to cut in line, but I'm really worried that something might have happened to my father. Please help me and let me see him first." The man bowed and spoke nicely to the family of Patient No. 9.
"It is definitely wrong to cut in line, but the hospital does have a rule to rescue critically ill patients first. Please rest assured, the optic nerve clinic will be open with me and Director Xin today. There are less than 30 people left here, so we will definitely be able to complete the diagnosis today."
Li Quan noticed that the old man's face looked abnormal and his mental state seemed to be problematic.
He did not dare to be careless and decided to diagnose the old man first.
However, as a doctor, if someone cuts in line, I must criticize him seriously.
Do a good job of comforting patients waiting in line.
"Okay, okay, considering Dean Li's plea, I'll let you see the patient first."
The angry family member finally relented.
"Thank you, thank you!"
The man kept bowing to express his gratitude to the patient's family.
At this time, the family member of Patient No. 9 who made concessions did something that moved Li Quan.
He walked out of the line and then walked to the end of the line with his daughter.
Although it was just a small gesture, Li Quan couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the family of Patient No. 9.
"No. 9, I will personally treat your daughter later. Be careful not to tell her to rub her eyes with her hands." Li Quan's diagnosis skills were very good. After looking at the little girl a few times, he could roughly determine what type of eye disease she had.
"Okay! Thank you, Dean Li."
The family members of Patient No. 9 smiled.
Li Quan's words made him realize that his humble behavior was recognized by Li Quan.
This made him feel very relieved.
"Bring in your father!"
Li Quan said this to the family of the patient who suddenly became blind due to drinking.
Liu Lu has neatly registered the patient's basic information.
"Are you sure that drinking caused your sudden blindness?"
"Yes, sure. My dad has no other hobbies, he just likes to drink a little wine every day. He is usually very restrained, only drinking about two taels a day and then no more. This time, we asked him, he didn't drink too much. Dean Li, tell me, why did my dad suddenly go blind?"
The patient's son was puzzled.
"Besides the blindness, are there any other symptoms?"
Li Quan has begun to use forward-looking diagnosis to diagnose patients.
In fact, he had already made a preliminary diagnosis outside just now.
Based on the patient's complexion and complexion, Li Quan determined that the patient was suffering from internal bleeding.
This is also the main reason why he gave priority to treating this patient.
Excessive drinking can generally lead to damage to organs such as the heart, liver, pancreas, and kidneys.
Of course, the most serious damage is to the brain.
No matter which of the four organs is damaged, it will eventually lead to internal bleeding, which is very dangerous.
"Dad, besides losing your sight, are you feeling any other discomfort?" the man asked his father.
"It's this burning feeling in my heart." The old man spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Let me feel your pulse first." Li Quan felt the patient's pulse.
When Li Quan felt the patient's pulse, his heart skipped a beat. The patient's pulse was floating and tight, and even seemed to be exhausted.
At the same time, by checking the patient's pulse, Li Quan also diagnosed that the patient was indeed suffering from internal bleeding.
"Is it poisoning?"
Li Quan was shocked.
[You successfully performed the Foresight Diagnosis Technique, skill points +10. ]
[You successfully performed the pulse diagnosis technique, skill points +10. ]
Suddenly, Li Quan became more certain that his diagnosis was correct.
The patient was truly poisoned.
"Strange, judging from the patient's pulse, the poison should be highly toxic. Why did he just suddenly become blind and not die?" Li Quan's expression became more solemn.
This patient has one foot already in the gates of hell.
But there seemed to be a talisman in his body, protecting his life.
Li Quan has diagnosed people's pulses many times.
At least more than a thousand times.
I have never met such a strange patient.
He was determined to find out the truth.
"Your father is poisoned, it doesn't look like alcohol poisoning." Li Quan said to the patient's son.
"Poisoned?"
The patient's son was extremely surprised.
"It should be correct. I'll order some expedited tests to see if I can find out what poison he was poisoned with. Then I'll take a look at the patient's physical condition. Judging from his pulse, he seems to be bleeding internally. If he goes to the bathroom, you can follow him in to see if there's blood in his stool or urine."
Li Quan prescribed a test for the patient.
Not long after, the patient came back after a series of examinations.
It showed that the patient had gastrointestinal bleeding.
Surprisingly, it wasn't liver bleeding.
However, we have not yet found out what kind of poison the patient was poisoned with.
During this short period of time, the patient's condition progressed rapidly, and he even experienced nausea, vomiting, chills, and other symptoms.
Still conscious.
"Uncle, are you sure that you became blind after drinking? Have you eaten any wild mushrooms or other foods?" Li Quan took advantage of the patient's still conscious mind and hurriedly asked for more details.
"No, no, I'm sure I only drank one glass of wine. I found that wine in the corner of my son's room. It must be quite old, aged . The wine has a strong aroma and is stronger than ordinary wine. When I drank it, my throat felt burning and painful."
The old man's face was full of intoxication when he talked about the bottle of aged wine.
People who love wine are particularly craving for aged fine wines.
The longer the wine is stored, the more precious and mellow it becomes.
"Where is that bottle of wine? Did you bring it with you?" Li Quan suspected that there was something wrong with the so-called aged wine.
