Chapter 559: Saved by the Chinese Medicine Doctor of Yuanyang Hospital
"I'm not 100% sure that it was the abrin poison, but the patient's symptoms, pulse, and signs are all highly similar to abrin poisoning. Just one gram of this poison can kill a thousand people. The child is so young, and it's far from enough to just wash the stomach and induce vomiting. Saving a life is like putting out a fire. I suggest an immediate high-level enema and taking milk or lubricant orally.
Then the sick children were injected with abrin protein antitoxin.”
Li Quan proposed a treatment plan.
"Dean, we haven't confirmed that it's acacia bean poisoning yet. Isn't it a bit hasty to rashly inject the patient with acacia bean poison protein antitoxin? What if..."
Director Zhang did not continue speaking.
He has been in charge of the emergency department for a long time, and all he wants is stability.
There are great risks in taking medication rashly without a clear cause of the disease.
It would be fine if you meet reasonable family members, but it would be terrible if you meet the kind of family members who only treat themselves as human beings and everyone else as dogs.
It can be said that if a sick child dies after receiving routine treatment such as gastric lavage and high-position enema, the hospital does not have to bear any responsibility, because the hospital has fulfilled its obligation to rescue the child.
If the child is injected with the abrin venom protein antitoxin, he or she will die.
The family members demanded an investigation into the cause of death and the treatment process, and Li Quan would then be in a very passive position.
"The patient's blood pressure and heart rate were dropping rapidly. No amount of adrenaline could save his life. It would take at least two to three hours for the test results to come out, and by that time, the patient would have already died."
Li Quan's brows were furrowed, and he was obviously weighing the risks involved.
"Director, I still suggest that we do routine detoxification and rescue first, and don't rush to inject the abrin venom protein antitoxin. It's not that we are cold-blooded, but we strictly follow the medication procedures. Only when doctors protect themselves first can they have a chance to save more patients."
Director Zhang insisted on his opinion.
In fact, this is also to protect Li Quan.
"Well... you have a point. But we can't just stand by and watch him die. The child is so young, so pitiful. If we can't save him, it will be a heavy blow to his family."
Li Quan had clearly diagnosed that the child was poisoned, but now because he was not sure, he was unable to use the most effective medicine to rescue him.
He thought of a solution quickly in his mind.
"By the way, didn't you induce vomiting and perform gastric lavage on the child? Where are the contents of the stomach?" Li Quan asked.
"In that big barrel!"
Director Zhang knew what Li Quan wanted to do.
"Dean, we have already taken samples of the stomach contents and sent them for testing. They are all a mixture of food that has been ground by teeth and corroded by gastric juice. It is impossible to identify what the food is. I am afraid we have to wait for the test results to come out before we can know."
The filth washed out of the stomach is relatively easy to distinguish, unless it is something like crude fiber that is difficult to digest.
Director Zhang doesn't know Li Quan's abilities.
After learning the techniques of olfactory diagnosis and identification of medicines, Li Quan could tell whether there were red acacia beans in the stomach contents just by smelling the odor.
"It's okay , I'll know once I smell it."
Li Quan walked to the big barrel and opened the lid.
A sour smell, and the unique smell of saline solution, hit my nose.
It makes people sick to hear it.
Li Quan suppressed the urge to vomit and carefully identified the smell of the liquid in the bucket.
"Yes, it does smell like red beans."
After careful identification, he finally found the result he wanted.
[You have successfully performed the Medicine Identification Technique, skill points +10. ]
[You have successfully performed the art of auscultation, skill points +10. ]
Li Quan's technique of diagnosis by smell has now reached the minor success stage.
To level up, you need 1000 skill points.
He discovered that the way to quickly upgrade his olfactory skills was not to diagnose patients, but to use it to smell and identify medicinal herbs.
"Give the sick child an injection of abrin protein antitoxin immediately and write a medical prescription in my name. If anything goes wrong, I will bear all the responsibility alone."
Li Quan's tone was firm and resolute.
Faced with the choice between saving lives and his own interests, he resolutely chose to save lives.
"Dean, I finally understand the gap between you and me. You are so young and yet you can become the dean, but I have been practicing medicine for decades and am still only the director of the emergency department because I always think of myself first when it comes to interests."
Director Zhang exclaimed with sincere praise.
"You are more like a professional doctor, while I am more like a gangster who sometimes acts without considering the consequences."
Li Quan sneered.
The nurse has already obtained the abracadabra venom protein antitoxin according to Li Quan's medical instructions and injected it into the sick child.
Then, other rescue measures for the sick child were also implemented together.
Li Quan personally directed the operation on site.
About forty minutes later, Director Zhang stared at the display screen of the life monitoring instrument and said happily, "Director, the patient's blood pressure has begun to rise, and the heart rate is also rising steadily. Your diagnosis is correct, and the injected abrin protein antitoxin has taken effect."
Director Zhang smiled very happily.
Li Quan also breathed a sigh of relief at this time.
By successfully saving the child's life, he not only gained merit, but also saved a family.
"Continue the rescue. The child is still in critical condition."
Li Quan did not dare to be careless and directed the medical staff on the spot to continue rescuing the poisoned child.
We were busy until almost eight o'clock in the evening, and the patient's vital signs finally stabilized.
"Okay, send him to the intensive care unit for observation overnight. If the child's vital signs show no abnormalities tomorrow, he will be transferred to a general ward. Thank you all for your hard work. If you want to have a midnight snack, please sign up. I'll treat you."
Li Quan said with a smile to several doctors and nurses in the emergency department's rescue room.
"Yeah! The dean's treat!"
"Okay, okay!"
"Dean, we have never had a midnight snack you treated us to. I heard Dr. Luo Wenhao and others from the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Orthopedics bragging about it. They said you were very generous and treated them to several midnight snacks."
The child was successfully saved, and the medical staff were very happy.
The atmosphere at the scene was quite relaxed.
Everyone dared to joke with Li Quan.
…
Early the next morning, Li Quan set out for the capital with his selected elite soldiers to participate in the National Medical Skills Competition.
Since this event was organized by the province, all participants gathered in one cabin.
In total, there were nearly five hundred participants.
The provincial government was very generous and directly chartered a plane.
In fact, this is also done in consideration of timeliness.
Every participating doctor and nurse is very busy. The medical workload in our hospital is very heavy.
It would take too long to go there by train or by car.
At the same time, it is easy for people to fall behind, be late, or not find their place, etc.
Chartering a plane can allow all participants to arrive at the venue in one piece, while also not wasting too much physical strength and energy.
This is Li Quan’s first time on a plane.
He is not afraid of being laughed at when he says this, but he used to be extremely poor and had to save even on food.
In his impression, flying is a means of transportation that only the rich and the social elite dare to take.
Because air tickets are very expensive.
Huier Hospital is led by the president Li Quan himself, including Professor Sun Limin, Director Zhang of the emergency department, Dr. Jin of the surgery department, Professor Tang of the internal medicine department, the two directors of the neurology department, and others, with a total of 25 places.
It almost includes the elites from each department.
The number of participants was not decided randomly.
There are only 25 vacancies for top-level tertiary hospitals in the province, such as Huier Hospital.
Some small hospitals are not even qualified to participate.
It has to be at least a county-level people's hospital to have a few places to participate.
On the competent department side, the team was led personally by the old leader Guo Xing and two senior leaders from the provincial department.
"Li Quan, Professor Liu Jinshu from your Huier Hospital is unable to participate in the competition this time due to health reasons. The team you lead must not bring shame to the hospitals in this province."
The old leader Guo Xing took a look at the team led by Li Quan.
Most of them are old faces, with only a few new ones.
In the national medical skills competition, major hospitals will send their most capable doctors to participate.
Pick the best from the best.
One can imagine the pressure Li Quan was under.
Recently, he has been reading Chen Ziming's medical books diligently.
Make up for the medical knowledge in obstetrics and gynecology.
I also learned a lot about obstetrics and gynecology.
Therefore, he has some confidence in participating in the competition at this moment.
Li Quan also learned a lot from following Professor Liu in seeing patients and performing surgeries.
It can be said that during this period, his obstetrics and gynecology skills improved rapidly.
"Mr. Guo, I dare not issue you a military order or anything like that. But I and the 24 doctors at Huier Hospital will definitely do our best to try not to bring shame to the medical system of this province."
Li Quan said with a smile.
"Haha, you are such a sly guy! Come on!"
The old man rarely laughed and scolded Li Quan.
Many people also came to Yuanyang Hospital.
There are even more participants than those from Whirlpool Hospital.
The strength of Sino-Ocean Hospital has always been very strong.
If Professor Bei Ke had not been so angry at Li Quan that he had a cerebral hemorrhage, he would have retired. I believe that the team from Yuanyang Hospital is even stronger.
The team is led by President Jia himself.
Minister Gu Qian did not come this time.
Perhaps because the number of places is limited, each hospital carefully selects and reserves the limited places for the best doctors.
The places must not be taken up by some idle people in vain.
"Old Master, Dean Li Quan's medical skills are unrivaled in the whole province. I believe that when he arrives in the capital, he will be able to show his medical prowess."
Dean Jia said in a somewhat weird voice.
Since fighting with Li Quan, he has never gotten any good results.
Especially when it came to the acquisition of the aging factory a few days ago, he was directly kicked out by that old lady Yang. He was so humiliated and lost all face.
This time, he felt even more uncomfortable when he saw that Li Quan was taken seriously by the state elders as soon as he got on the plane.
Sour.
Naturally, all the words he said were sarcastic.
"President Jia, long time no see! I never said that I am invincible in the whole province. I believe that medical skills are used to save lives, not to gain fame and fortune. We are going to Beijing to compete this time, of course, to win glory for the medical system of our province, but more importantly, to learn and exchange and improve our medical skills."
Li Quan expressed his opinion.
As for Dean Jia's ridicule, he pretended not to hear it.
I definitely won’t retaliate in person.
"Hehe, you speak better than singing. If you are not after fame or profit, you should stop advertising Yanhuang Pharmaceutical's weight loss pills and bone injury medicine all day long."
Dean Jia didn't believe what Li Quan said.
He knew a little about Li Quan's background.
It is even possible to know that Li Quan is one of the major shareholders of Yanhuang Pharmaceutical.
"I advertised these two drugs not for fame or money, but to benefit more patients across the country. Because these two drugs are indeed effective, cheap and safe. I heard that your Yuanyang Hospital has been rejecting the Black Jade Duanxu Paste bone injury medicine. I tell you, don't regret it when the time comes.
It's no use resisting such a good medicine.
Patients all said it was good after using it.
Director Jia, I sincerely suggest that Yuanyang Hospital purchase the Black Jade Ointment immediately and vigorously promote its use. "
Li Quan is really so angry that he is about to die.
They took the opportunity to start advertising bone injury medicines and weight loss pills.
"Humph, I'm too lazy to tell you."
Dean Jia snorted coldly and didn't bother himself any more.
He has never won an argument with Li Quan.
Li Quan smiled and said nothing more.
He began to look at the contestants from his province.
The cabin is divided into upper and lower cabins.
They sat in the upper cabin because they were of high status.
First-class treatment should naturally be reserved for them.
Especially for a distinguished figure like the state elder, no one dared to neglect him.
There are also a few young faces in Yuanyang Hospital.
And two of them are acquaintances that Li Quan has dealt with before.
Although Ocean Hospital's business has declined sharply recently , as the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse.
Its strength still cannot be underestimated.
At least there is an expert doctor.
In terms of neurology, Yuanyang Hospital is still very strong.
"President Jia, I heard that your hospital has also been vigorously developing traditional Chinese medicine recently. Is this true?"
Li Quan took the initiative to talk.
Because he found that there were three people in the Ocean Hospital's participating team who were suspected to be traditional Chinese medicine practitioners.
And he is an old Chinese doctor who is in his fifties or sixties.
I heard about this matter from Vice President Min last time.
It is said that Yuanyang Hospital spent a lot of money to recruit many traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, and also followed the example of Huier Hospital to build a traditional Chinese medicine research department.
Now it seems that the rumors are true.
"Traditional Chinese medicine is not the exclusive domain of your Huier Hospital. Our Yuanyang Hospital has drawn upon the strengths of many different hospitals. Dean Li wouldn't want to intervene in matters like this, would he?"
Dean Jia's face was cold and his tone was extremely unfriendly.
"Haha, that definitely won't happen. I'm just curious, are the Traditional Chinese Medicine contestants from your hospital here this time?" Li Quan's eyes swept over the three people.
"Young man, it's better to be low-key. Be careful not to be too conspicuous and get your tongue bitten by the wind."
When the three old Chinese doctors heard Li Quan asking them about it, they were all very unhappy.
The old Chinese doctor with white eyebrows in the middle even gave Li Quan a lecture.
"Don't misunderstand me, senior. I don't mean to offend you. I'm just curious. I think you are extraordinary. I believe you will be able to make a big splash in this competition and let everyone remember Chinese medicine."
Li Quan really did not hate the traditional Chinese medicine practitioners at Yuanyang Hospital.
He thinks that the development of traditional Chinese medicine is a good thing, and he hopes that all major hospitals will vigorously develop traditional Chinese medicine.
