Chapter 613 Pediatrics, strange sick child
Professor Liu took Li Quan's hand and asked urgently, "Xiao Li, tell me what prescription you prescribed? Psoriasis is a fungal infection. Even if you take oral antibiotics, it is impossible for them to work so quickly."
Although Professor Liu is old and made many mistakes when treating the pregnant woman, his medical skills and experience are definitely top-notch.
Psoriasis is not fatal and not very dangerous, but it is more difficult to deal with than taffy.
To cure psoriasis, you need to continue taking the medication for more than 28 days, or even longer.
Many people don't know where the word psoriasis came from.
In fact, it means that psoriasis is difficult to treat.
This kind of disease may get better temporarily if you apply some medicine, but as soon as you stop taking the medicine, it will come back again soon.
"Teacher, what I prescribed is just an ordinary prescription." Li Quan couldn't bear to embarrass the teacher.
"Now that you're the dean, are you no longer allowed to tell the truth in front of the teacher? Tell me, what medicine did you use on the pregnant woman? Don't worry, even if you used a secret recipe, the teacher would never reveal your recipe even if he were half buried in the ground."
Professor Liu and Li Quan have been getting along for a long time.
To put it bluntly, as soon as Li Quan's butt sticks out, he knows whether Li Quan is going to fart or poop.
Li Quan wanted to play it safe, but he was immediately noticed.
"Teacher, actually I used a traditional Chinese medicine prescription for treating typhoid fever for pregnant women. It can relieve the symptoms, dispel cold and induce sweating." Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Li Quan confessed the truth immediately.
After hearing this, Professor Liu was struck by lightning and remained in a daze for a long time without saying anything.
"You, you said the prescription given to the pregnant woman was for typhoid fever?"
Professor Liu's face gradually turned red, like a child who had done something wrong.
"Yeah!" Li Quan nodded helplessly to confirm.
He knew that the teacher must be feeling uncomfortable at the moment.
"Alas! I never thought that after studying and practicing medicine all my life, I still couldn't even diagnose the patient's illness when I was old. I am ashamed! My current state and mentality are not suitable for being a doctor anymore, otherwise I will only hurt others and myself. From the beginning, I was mysteriously confident and arbitrarily determined that the pregnant woman was just suffering from secondary breast development in the late pregnancy.
Then, when the pregnant woman's condition worsened, I panicked and lost my composure.
Thinking is rigid.
It was determined that her illness was definitely caused by psoriasis.
This is actually just being too picky.
Fortunately, you were able to surpass me and discovered the real cause of the pregnant woman's illness in time and gave her the correct treatment."
As Professor Liu spoke, he sighed again.
"The teacher is really old now, and you have grown up now. In addition, Director Sun and others are also very outstanding. The teacher wanted to tell you half a month ago, but kept putting it off until now.
I am going to complete the resignation procedures today, and live out my retirement at home in peace. I will compile my life's medical experience and knowledge of obstetrics and gynecology into a book, and leave it as a medical reference for future generations.
I feel completely relieved to have you taking over the obstetrics and gynecology department.
The TCM department has also begun to show its prominence thanks to your efforts. I hope to live a few more years to see Huier Hospital continue to grow and become a world-class medical center under your leadership. Then, the TCM department will regain its former glory under your leadership.”
Professor Liu is full of expectations for the future of Huier Hospital and the future of traditional Chinese medicine.
Li Quan sincerely admired the great spirit of dedicating and struggling for the medical profession, and not regretting even if he died nine times.
He was very lucky to have met such a great teacher.
Perhaps many years later, even after Professor Liu passes away, Li Quan will still be influenced by this medical spirit and, like Professor Liu, devote his entire life to the medical profession.
"Teacher, if I continue to keep you in the hospital, it would be too selfish of me. Since you have made a decision, I respect your choice."
Li Quan agreed to the teacher's resignation request.
There is a trace of reluctance in my heart.
But he knew it was time to let go.
Professor Liu's health has been deteriorating since his cerebral hemorrhage.
Now that the situation at Huier Hospital has stabilized, Li Quan naturally no longer has the heart to let the teacher continue to work so hard.
"We must guard against arrogance and keep our eyes on the future. China's medical technology is still far behind that of advanced foreign countries in many areas. I hope that in my lifetime, I can see China also have a world-class medical center."
Professor Liu has extremely high expectations for Li Quan.
"I..." Li Quan was not completely sure, and did not dare to make a rash promise.
"Li Quan, you are the most gifted doctor I have ever seen. What's even more rare is that you also possess strategic and leadership abilities. Another thing is that you are very young, only in your twenties. As long as you work hard, everything is possible."
Professor Liu is very optimistic about him.
The two then talked a lot about the hospital.
Including some of the hospital’s current internal conflicts, development directions, constraints, etc.
Professor Liu has worked in Huier Hospital for many years and is the director of a major department. His vision and knowledge are incomparable to ordinary people. He explained to Li Quan many problems existing in Huier Hospital.
As for the development direction of Huier Hospital, the master and apprentice are surprisingly consistent.
They all choose to take the path of combining Chinese and Western medicine.
Li Quan's traditional Chinese medicine skills are the weapon that has enabled Huier Hospital to rise rapidly and compete with the world's top medical centers.
“Boom boom boom!”
Just then, someone knocked on the door.
"Excuse me, is Dean Li in there?" It was a woman's voice.
"I'm here! Please come in!"
Li Quan recognized that the voice was that of Qin Shuang, a pediatrician.
Her voice is so sweet and melodious that other women can't imitate it.
After the office door was opened, Qin Shuang's pretty figure appeared.
It was indeed her.
But at this moment, there was a hint of anxiety on her face.
"Director Li, our pediatric department has received a patient with a very strange condition. After consulting with several pediatric directors and deputy chief physicians, Director Xie is still unsure. We would like to ask you to come over and take a look."
When Qin Shuang saw Li Quan, he must have felt very complicated.
She had known Li Quan since he was an intern.
The two also attended a provincial medical seminar together.
At that time, Li Quan's status was still very low.
No one around Professor Liu was optimistic about Li Quan.
Unexpectedly, just a few months later, Li Quan has become the youngest director in the history of Huier Hospital. Not only that, it is said that in this national medical skills competition, Li Quan killed all the opponents and directly led Huier Hospital to win the first place in the total individual score and the first place in the comprehensive hospital score.
Recently, she can clearly notice that more and more patients from other places come to the hospital for treatment.
Many of them have heard of the reputation of Huier Hospital and come from other provinces to seek medical treatment.
"Okay, I'll go with you!"
Li Quan did not refuse.
Stand up and leave.
After coming back this time, he obviously found that his status in the hospital seemed to be higher than before.
For example, in the pediatric department, although Director Xie admired Li Quan and had always had a good relationship with him, women's hearts are like needles in the sea.
Director Xie is a very proud woman.
Especially in the field of pediatrics, except for blood patients, she would occasionally ask Director Li Manzi for help. She never asked Li Quan for help with other pediatric patients.
Even though Li Quan has performed extremely well in many departments including the emergency department, orthopedics, and ophthalmology.
Director Xie still hasn't asked him for help.
Li Quan knew clearly that it was because his medical status had not yet been recognized by this pediatric veteran.
Following Qin Shuang, we quickly arrived at the pediatric outpatient building.
In Director Xie's expert outpatient clinic, a little boy of seven or eight years old was crying.
Sometimes he cried out that a devil was trying to kill him, sometimes he cried out that ants were biting him, and not long after, he said he was very cold.
He actually folded his arms into a ball and trembled.
That’s not all. Before Li Quan had the chance to ask about the patient’s condition and medical history, the little boy started shouting about being hot again and desperately tried to take off his clothes.
And there was indeed sweat on the little boy's face.
This is the first time that Li Quan has encountered such a strange disease.
No wonder Director Xie and others have no idea what to do.
"Director Li, please take a seat! This is the patient. You saw what happened just now. He seemed to be hysterical and talking nonsense. But when he said he was cold, his body really showed symptoms of cold. When he said he was hot, he really sweated. I guess when he said he was in pain, he really felt pain. We have checked his brain waves, and they are normal."
Director Xie looked at the sick child with a worried look on his face.
Patients like this are here purely to destroy our reputation.
She can't be cured at all.
It's not even clear what disease the boy has.
"Are you Dean Li Quan? I am the child's father and have long heard of your great name." The boy's father seemed to be of high status.
At least like a rich man.
Both her dress and temperament are outstanding.
"Hello!"
Li Quan shook hands with the other party.
"I also saw the report on TV about you leading Huier Hospital to participate in the National Medical Skills Competition. That's when I learned that China actually has such a young miracle doctor. I'm from Sichuan Province. Since my son got this strange disease, he hasn't had a good night's sleep. I've taken my son to all the famous hospitals in Sichuan Province.
However, the chief physicians and experts in those hospitals tried many treatments, but to no avail.
My son's condition is getting worse day by day.
My family has only one son for three generations. When the child's mother gave birth to him, she had to have her uterus removed to save her life because of heavy bleeding. If anything happened to my son, our family would be finished.
Dean Li, please, please find a way to save my son.
You don’t have to worry about the treatment fee. No matter whether the treatment is successful or not, just treat it and I will pay the money.”
The man's tone was not loud, but confident.
Li Quan could feel that this middle-aged man really had the confidence to pay the full medical expenses.
"May I ask your name, sir?" Li Quan asked.
"No need to mention your surname Qin!"
The other party was very humble.
"Mr. Qin, please don't worry. Your family is well-off, which is a good thing. At least you have enough money to support your son's treatment. Since I don't know what disease your son has and how much the treatment will cost, I don't know either. When the time comes, the medical staff will inform you how much you need to pay in advance.
I will first take a look at your son's medical history before I can provide further diagnosis for him.
I can't promise that this can be cured.
But I will definitely lead our hospital's medical team to do everything we can to treat your son."
Li Quan didn't dare to say too much for fear of being slapped in the face.
"Okay, okay." Mr. Qin nodded repeatedly.
"How long has your child been ill?" Li Quan asked about the medical history.
"If we count from the time when the child showed abnormal behavior, it has been half a year. I remember that the child was in summer vacation at that time. His mother and I were very busy, and we had to worry about the factory and the store. We were worried that the child would be alone at home and the nanny would not be able to control him. So we sent him back to my hometown in the countryside to be taken care of by my parents.
One day, my parents called me in the evening and said that their child had played hide-and-seek with other children all afternoon, and when he went to bed at night, he kept complaining of an itchy stomach.
At that time, I thought the child was bitten by lice or mosquitoes, so I didn't pay too much attention to it.
I asked the parents to apply some imported mosquito bite medicine on the child's belly.
Later, the matter was over.
After the summer vacation, the children are taken back to school.
Then we found that the child seemed to have some changes. He often twitched unconsciously or talked in his sleep. Sometimes when he was sleeping well, he would suddenly cry or laugh.
We were a little worried, so we took the child to a large hospital for a full-body check-up, and everything was normal.
Doctors say that children are in a period of ignorance and may be influenced by TV, storybooks or other new things, causing them to cry or laugh while sleeping.
This is a normal situation, so we don't need to worry too much.
It wasn't until about the last month that the child's symptoms began to worsen.
I remember one evening when I came home, our family had just sat down to eat. The nanny helped the child to put the food on the table, but the child suddenly got nervous and threw the bowl at the nanny.
At that time, we also educated the child, compensated the nanny for medical expenses, and apologized.
According to our thinking, the child might have some misunderstanding about the nanny, so he suddenly hit the nanny with something.
Because the child doesn't like to eat much and likes to eat snacks. When the nanny sees it, she will take it away from him. Then when she serves the child, she will give him more food. She also told my child that he needs to eat more food to grow taller and stronger.
If this happens too often, the child may not understand the nanny's good intentions and may explode.
Then, about three or four days later, the child's mother and I were sitting on the sofa in the living room chatting. The child, like a ghost, quietly walked behind his mother with an expressionless face. Holding a fruit knife in his hand, he stabbed his mother.
Fortunately, I discovered it in time and rushed over to catch it, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
Afterwards, we asked our son why he used a knife to kill his mother?
The son said that he saw a devil on his mother's body, and that the devil wanted to harm him.
We thought the child had a mental illness and took him to the hospital for a mental health check."
