Chapter 615: Cause of illness found, Jade book recovered from overseas
Mr. Qin was very excited when he heard Li Quan say that his son's illness could be cured.
He began to think hard about the animals, plants, and insects that could make people's skin itchy.
"The most common thing in my hometown is mosquitoes. In summer, all kinds of blood-sucking mosquitoes chase and bite people. Whether at home or in the wild, there are so many of them. Although we are often bitten by big red spots, I have never heard of anyone going insane after being bitten by mosquitoes. Besides, after a mosquito bite, the itching will only last for a day or two.
My son has been ill for almost half a year. Even if he was bitten by a very poisonous mosquito, he would have recovered long ago!"
The first thing Mr. Qin thought of was mosquitoes.
But as soon as he said it, he first eliminated the mosquito.
Mosquito bites are not very toxic and usually only cause redness and itching for a few hours, or at most a day or two.
"In addition to mosquitoes, there are also many centipedes. However, after being bitten by a centipede, it will be extremely painful. It shouldn't be. Well... there is also a kind of thorny lacquer tree, which can also make the skin extremely itchy. In addition, there are fleas that are common on cats and dogs..."
Mr. Qin said everything he could think of.
These are some of the most common poisonous insects and poisonous plants in rural areas.
The poisonous insects and poisons he mentioned were actually almost useless for Li Quan to analyze the condition.
Because these poisons can hardly make the patient's skin itchy for more than half a year.
Moreover, as time went by, the patient's condition not only did not improve, but instead became worse.
Li Quan's gaze fell on the sick child's back again.
When a person has pain or itching in his body, it is often very obvious.
It can even be accurate to a certain point.
The patient's back is scratched like this, which means the itchy area is on the back.
If it is poisoning, abnormalities should be detected during blood tests.
However, the patient's routine blood tests and multiple toxin tests showed normal results.
There are three possibilities.
Either the patient was not poisoned, or the poison in the patient was very mild.
Another possibility is that the toxins in the sick children are relatively rare, or even unknown to human medicine.
All three of these situations may result in normal blood test results.
"Give me a magnifying glass!"
Li Quan instructed the nurse next to him.
Soon, a twenty-fold magnifying glass was brought over.
Li Quan held a magnifying glass and examined the sick child's back.
After all, the human eye can only see a limited number of tiny organisms.
With twenty times magnification, many tiny microorganisms can be discovered.
"Give me another pair of pointed tweezers!" Li Quan seemed to have discovered something at this time.
Soon, a pair of sharp tweezers commonly used in operating rooms was handed to Li Quan.
He used tweezers to slightly open a scratch wound on the patient's back.
When the sharp tweezers touched the patient's dermis, the pain made the patient's body tense and the roar from his mouth became more angry and more shrill.
Mr. Qin felt a little distressed watching this.
After all, this is his son.
"President Li, what are you doing?" Mr. Qin is much more polite than those arrogant and unreasonable family members.
Although he was somewhat dissatisfied with Li Quan's behavior, he did not get angry immediately.
Instead, he asked Li Quan in a gentle tone why he did so.
"Let me check your son's back for tiny parasites! I can also check the scratched skin to see if there are any abnormal lesions."
Li Quan explained calmly.
"Bring me a test tube with a lid, the kind for sampling and testing, preferably glass." After Li Quan waited for the nurse to bring the glass test tube, he directly took some flesh and blood from the wound on the patient's back and put it into the glass test tube.
During this process, the sick child screamed miserably again.
Mr. Qin's lips moved, but he didn't say anything in the end.
But the expression on his face became a little serious.
After taking a sample once, Li Quan did not stop. He took two more samples before giving up.
Mr. Qin's brows were tightly furrowed and his expression became very unsightly.
"Please be careful not to touch the sick child's body. If you need to do so, take protective measures. I will go test these body tissue samples first."
After Li Quan finished speaking, he hurried away with the test tube.
When he arrived at the laboratory of the inspection department, he placed the specimen directly under an electron microscope for observation.
This time I could see clearly that there were actually tiny insects similar to mites in the skin specimens.
They have pointy feet and mouths that look like scary wire cutters.
These bugs are extremely active and are crawling around.
After being put into the test tube, they may no longer be able to obtain the temperature of the sick child and can no longer suck the patient's blood, which is equivalent to cutting off their food supply.
What's more, they were put in a cold and unfamiliar environment, to which they were not able to adapt.
Some of them have begun to become manic.
"Oh my goodness, it must be these bugs that are causing trouble." After making a major discovery, Li Quan was greatly encouraged and a happy smile of relief appeared on his face.
This time, Huier Hospital won the first place in the national medical skills competition, became famous, and attracted many patients from all over the country to seek treatment.
Almost all of them are patients with difficult and complicated diseases.
Or they are critically ill patients who are extremely difficult to treat.
As the saying goes, people are afraid of being famous just like pigs are afraid of being fat.
Once a pig grows fat, the day when it will be slaughtered is not far away.
Once you become famous, the public's expectations of you will be much higher.
In the past, if Huier Hospital cured a difficult case, it would receive a lot of praise and even invite some news media to do publicity to greatly expand the hospital's reputation.
But now it’s different. Since it won the first place in the country, many people will think that the medical skills of Huier Hospital are the best in the country.
At this time, it is your duty to cure difficult cases.
If you fail to cure the problem, you will easily be attacked and accused of seeking fame and reputation that does not match your reality.
If Huier Hospital's position in the industry is consolidated in the future, it would not be a big deal if there are one or two patients who cannot be cured occasionally.
Because no matter how advanced a hospital's medical technology is, there will always be patients who cannot be cured.
Now that it has just become famous, if there are patients who cannot be cured, it will have a huge negative impact on Huier Hospital.
"I hope these worms are only in a small area on the patient's back and have not spread to other parts of the skin." Li Quan did not rush to prescribe medicine for the patient. Instead, he took the medicine and conducted experiments in the laboratory himself.
After experiments, Li Quan found that these drugs have a 100% killing effect on these tiny creatures similar to mites.
I can rest assured this time.
The patient was immediately prescribed two types of insecticides, one for oral and one for topical use.
Fearing that the nurse might handle the child improperly and the bug would crawl onto his body, Li Quan personally applied medicine to the sick child.
…
Around six o'clock in the evening, Li Quan was in his office listening to Vice President Min's report on the hospital's expansion progress.
Building a house, especially in a city center like this, is not easy.
It not only requires a large amount of financial support, but also requires close cooperation from multiple competent departments, such as traffic control, public security maintenance, and complaints from surrounding residents if they are dissatisfied.
At this time, the competent authorities and the hospital need to coordinate together.
Vice President Min is definitely a capable official.
In just one day, he had made plans in many aspects and released the news.
We just need Li Quan's signature to agree before we can open the bidding to the public.
Demolition and resettlement can start tomorrow.
"Old Min, I really didn't make a mistake in entrusting this matter to you. I have already read your plan and there is no problem. After I sign it, you can open it to the public for bidding. Remember, you must choose a reliable and capable infrastructure company."
Li Quan nodded slightly.
This is a reminder to Vice President Min that he must not accept black money or large gifts from unqualified construction companies and allow some unqualified construction companies to enter.
Reminders are reminders, but when it comes to the final decision, Li Quan will definitely still have to review it.
"Don't worry, I will be fully responsible for such a big project. I will naturally know the priorities. I am not the kind of person who is greedy."
Vice President Min understood what he meant and expressed his opinion with a serious face.
In fact, even if only qualified and formal construction companies are selected during the bidding, Vice President Min will definitely be able to gain a lot of benefits from it.
No one will put the gray interests on the table.
If the construction company agrees to give Vice President Min one percentage point, Vice President Min can count the money until his hands cramp.
“Boom boom boom!”
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
It is impossible for ordinary people to disturb Li Quan's office as the dean.
Because even if someone wanted to look for Li Quan, the office staff outside would not easily let them disturb Li Quan.
If there are small things that can be handled, they will just stop them and deal with them.
"Come in!"
Li Quan shouted sternly.
After the office door was opened, Director Hu from the hospital office walked in.
"Director, the family of the mentally ill child you treated today wanted to thank you in person. Would you like to meet us?" Director Hu asked.
"Let him in!" Li Quan agreed.
It's a good opportunity to understand the condition of the sick child.
Not long after, Mr. Qin came in. In addition to Mr. Qin, there was also a very elegant middle-aged woman.
She was wearing a brown suit, a white bead necklace, and a bright green jadeite bracelet on her hand.
The earrings are two gold beads inlaid with diamonds.
It looks like it is full of jewels and richness.
If I'm not mistaken, this lady should be Mr. Qin's wife.
Li Quan didn't see her during the day.
I guess he bought a plane ticket and rushed here after finishing work.
As soon as they entered the door, Mr. and Mrs. Qin walked towards Li Quan excitedly.
"President Li, you are the lifesaver of our family. My wife and I had already given up hope. It was you who saved our son's life. I came here specially to thank you in person. Please accept this banner and this little gift."
Mr. Qin had a big smile on his face and was slightly bent over.
He was extremely respectful in front of Li Quan.
The same is true for Mr. Qin's wife.
This couple belong to the social elite, or in simple terms, the upper class of society.
Why are they so respectful to Li Quan?
It was because Li Quan cured their son that they respected Li Quan from the bottom of their hearts.
"Mr. Qin, Mrs. Qin, please don't be polite. Treating patients is our duty as doctors, and it is also our obligation. I can accept your banner, but I absolutely cannot accept these gifts."
The gift box that Li Quan planned to use should contain valuable antiques or the like.
"It's really nothing, just a little gift from my husband and I. My wife and I both like to collect antiques and cultural relics. When we have collected a lot, we often give some away as gifts.
If you had not found the cause of our son's illness and given him the correct treatment, we would not have been able to have a healthy son even if we spent all our wealth.
We would feel guilty if you don’t accept it.”
Mr. Chun pushed the gift box towards Li Quan.
Vice President Min looked at it with envy.
Medical skills are still delicious.
As the vice president, he usually has to accept gifts secretly.
Moreover, those who gave him gifts were basically his subordinates, or businessmen and companies with whom he had business dealings.
The gifts those people gave were not very expensive.
"Mr. Qin, I appreciate your kindness, but I won't accept the gift. Please take it back! By the way, how is your son doing after taking the medicine? I'm going to go to the ward to see your son after I finish everything."
Although Li Quan found out the cause of the disease and had conducted experiments, the medicine was effective.
But I'm still a little worried.
"After taking the medicine, our son has become very stable. He no longer has the symptoms of mental disorder and nonsense. Moreover, he has asked us for food for the first time. I feel that my son's illness has been mostly cured."
When Mr. Qin mentioned his son, his eyes were filled with fatherly love.
"Well, then I feel relieved. But I will still go over to take a look later." Li Quan nodded slightly.
His eyes turned to the banner presented by Mr. and Mrs. Qin, "The medical skills are superb and world-class."
The signature on the back contains the names of Mr. and Mrs. Qin, the Japanese flag, etc.
"Um... Dean, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Vice Dean Min is a smart man. When a patient's family gives Li Quan a gift, it is natural for him to leave as soon as possible in such an occasion.
Do I have to watch the dean accept gifts?
If his emotional intelligence was really that low, he would never be able to climb to the high position of vice president.
After Vice President Min left the office, Mr. Qin opened the gift box directly.
"President Li, I bought this piece of mutton-fat jade once abroad. There are Chinese characters engraved on it. It should be a cultural relic lost from our country. The content engraved on it is related to medicine, maybe you will be interested.
Besides, as a layman I can't understand this thing, so it's useless to me.
A good saddle is for a good horse, and a good sword is for a hero.
I want to give you this jade book. On the one hand, it expresses my gratitude for saving my son, and on the other hand, it can be regarded as finding the real owner of this jade book. "Mr. Qin smiled and pushed the box in front of Li Quan again.
When Li Quan heard that it was a jade book and was related to medicine, he became interested on the spot.
"Mr. Qin, do you think this is okay? I do like to collect some ancient medical books. Accepting gifts from patients and their families is strictly prohibited by the hospital. If you are willing to part with it, I am willing to spend money to buy this jade book. You name the price."
Li Quan could see with his naked eyes that there were densely packed small characters engraved on this palm-sized piece of mutton-fat white jade.
I wonder which ancient miracle doctor left this medical book.
It must be good stuff.
