Chapter 651: Dean Min asks for help to diagnose monkeys
Dean He cleverly made a cup of tea and placed it in front of Vice Dean Min.
All kinds of people come to see Li Quan every day, but not everyone has the opportunity to enjoy the tea-making treatment from Assistant Dean He.
Assistant Dean He also treats people differently based on their situation.
Whenever there were hospital leaders like Vice President Min, or people from the competent departments, or friends and relatives of Li Quan, Assistant Dean He would immediately and attentively make a cup of tea and bring it over.
If they are unimportant people, Assistant Dean He will usually focus on his own work.
"Dean, I have a friend who wants you to see him!" Vice Dean Min's words were a little hesitant, and his expression was somewhat embarrassed.
This is not like his usual style.
"Where is your friend?"
"It's in the Magic City!"
"What's wrong with you? Isn't it convenient for you to come to our hospital?" Li Quan, as the dean, was very busy. In addition, he was not short of money, so if you wanted to invite him to see a doctor, he would only agree to do so under special circumstances.
For example, a friend invites him, or an important leader asks him to see a patient.
You have to save some face.
"Uh... it's not that my friend is sick. The thing is, my friend is the director of the zoo. Recently, for some reason, the three golden monkeys raised in the zoo suddenly fell ill. The zoo's veterinarian treated the three golden monkeys, but it was ineffective.
Later, we invited famous veterinarians and experts in the province to jointly diagnose and treat the patient, but there was still no actual effect.
If the situation continued like this, something bad would happen to the three golden monkeys.
He had really no other options, so he came to me and wanted me to help him and ask you to come and see him.
If you agree, then when is convenient?
If you don’t agree, I’ll write him a letter right now.”
Vice President Min briefly explained the cause of the incident.
After all this time, I'm not actually treating anyone.
Instead, save the three monkeys.
However, golden monkeys are a national first-class protected animal and are particularly precious.
I guess the zoo director was also worried that his superiors would blame him after the death of the three precious golden monkeys.
By then, the position of the director will be lost.
"Okay, I can go over and take a look. But you know, although humans and monkeys are the closest relatives, there are still significant differences between them. I can't guarantee that I can cure it."
Li Quan was also giving face to Vice President Min.
After all, Vice President Min has worked diligently in the past two years and fully assisted Li Quan, making many contributions to the rapid development of Huier Hospital.
"That's great! Don't worry, no doctor would dare to guarantee that he can cure a monkey, let alone a human. My friend is a well-behaved person and will never make things difficult for you."
When Vice President Min heard Li Quan's agreement, he couldn't help but smile.
He had accomplished this task.
Others couldn't invite Li Quan, but he could, which was a great honor.
"I just heard you say that the three golden monkeys have been sick for a while. I think their condition is very serious now. We can't delay this matter. I will go over and diagnose the three monkeys now."
Since Li Quan has already done Vice President Min a favor, he might as well be a good person.
Seek medical attention immediately.
"Thank you, Dean! I will always remember this kindness."
Vice President Min is also a person who understands human nature.
He accepted Li Quan's favor.
"Dean, I'll drive you there now."
"Well, let's go!"
When Li Quan goes out to see patients, unlike ordinary doctors, he needs to bring a bunch of auxiliary tools.
Things like stethoscopes, blood pressure monitors, etc.
He doesn't need to bring anything with him. He can diagnose people's illnesses simply by relying on the techniques of inspection, pulse feeling, and smell.
However, this was his first time to diagnose a monkey.
It is not yet clear whether it will be effective.
You have to try it to know.
Along the way, Vice President Min drove the car and Li Quan sat in the back seat.
The two chatted idly.
Li Quan took this opportunity to talk about his idea of expanding the Huier Hospital again.
This is a big project.
According to Li Quan's idea, all the old buildings should be demolished and rebuilt into more scientific and advanced comprehensive buildings. In addition, he also plans to purchase a piece of land to build a special tumor medical center building.
This was a forward-looking plan he made based on the situation in the hematology department.
While specific cancer drugs have not yet been launched on the market, it is a good time to make preparations in advance.
By then, everything will be done naturally without delaying the development of the oncology department.
"Dean, I fully agree with your proposal to build a comprehensive building for the cancer center. The incidence of cancer continues to rise, but the cure rate has not improved much. Currently, the most developed countries in the world have invested heavily in cancer research and development, but the results are not ideal.
Our Huier Hospital has brought honor to the country this time. In the field of medical research in the field of cancer, we are at the forefront of the world.
Therefore, I predict that by then our Weil Hospital will be overcrowded with cancer patients.
Building the Cancer Medical Center ahead of time will allow us to develop at an unimpeded pace.”
Vice President Min and Li Quan have basically the same idea.
Maybe that's what great minds think alike.
"I plan to build a comprehensive building for the cancer center that is the most advanced and integrates teaching, scientific research, diagnosis, treatment, and testing. This requires a large piece of land. At present, our hospital has sufficient funds, so we don't have to worry about the money to build this building. It's just that the land is difficult to get. The surrounding areas are basically residential areas, and it is difficult to demolish and the cost is extremely high."
Li Quan looked worried when he said this.
The construction of an oncology medical center is urgent, but how can we build it without land?
A good cook cannot cook without rice.
As for acquiring land by demolishing a neighborhood, the cost is too high.
If you have that kind of money, you might as well just buy Jiang’s Orthopedic Hospital.
Ever since the Black Jade Ointment developed by Li Quan was launched on the market, the number of patients visiting Jiang's Orthopedic Hospital has shown a downward trend.
In just over two years, the once prosperous Jiang's Orthopedic Hospital has now fallen to the level of a Class II hospital.
It hasn't fallen down yet, it's just relying on eating the boss.
Li Quan was sure that if he acquired Jiang's Orthopedic Hospital now, it would not cost much.
"Dean, as for the land issue, it will be easy to accomplish as long as you cure the golden monkey this time." Vice Dean Min smiled mysteriously.
"What do you mean?" Li Quan immediately became interested.
"Behind the four complex buildings we built two years ago, across the street, isn't that the old zoo's site? It's now been turned into an amusement park, but the zoo still owns the land.
If you cure the three golden monkeys this time, won't my friend be very grateful to you?
When the time comes, you will propose to expand the hospital, but you still need a piece of land. I will say a few words from the side, and this should be possible. "
Vice President Min’s suggestion is very good.
The old zoo was just across the street from the Wheeler Hospital.
If we can really buy the old zoo, we can build an overpass to directly connect the Cancer Medical Center with the old campus of Weyer Hospital.
It will also be very convenient for patients to see a doctor.
"Old Min, tell me the truth. Did you know that I wanted to build a cancer medical center and was short of a piece of land, so you deliberately gave me this opportunity?"
Li Quan asked with a smile.
"Haha, if I really had that kind of foresight, I wouldn't be just a vice president. I might have been the director of the Health Bureau, or even a higher position."
Vice President Min laughed out loud.
"Dean, this is what they call those who are righteous will be helped by heaven, while those who are unrighteous will have few supporters."
The two grown men laughed at the same time.
The land issue has been resolved, so Li Quan is naturally putting all his efforts into it. He will use all his strength to treat the three golden monkeys later.
Nearly half an hour later, Vice President Min's car drove into the zoo.
The director got the news and waited at the door early.
Before the car stopped, the slightly short and fat principal came trotting towards us.
"Hello, Dean Min!"
He bowed and nodded to greet Vice President Min.
Keep a very low profile.
The current Huier Hospital is no longer what it used to be. It has become one of the top comprehensive medical hospitals in the country.
Vice President Min's status also rose accordingly.
He is respected wherever he goes.
"Let me introduce you. This is Director Fu of the zoo. This is Li Quan, the director of Huier Hospital."
Vice President Min quickly introduced the two people.
"Hello, President Li! I have heard of your name for a long time. My wife had a gallstone surgery last time, and it was done in your hospital." Director Fu said with a smile.
From this point we can also see that Director Fu is very eloquent.
Good at speaking.
"Thank you for the compliment, Director Fu. I wonder where the three golden monkeys are?" Li Quan and Vice President Min got out of the car together.
"He is currently locked up in the zoo's medical room. I will take you there. Thank you very much for your help this time. If you need my help in the future, please let me know."
Director Fu also knew that it would be very difficult to invite Li Quan to see the patient.
Not only did Li Quan come in person, but he also came at such a timely moment, which was definitely a huge favor.
Even though he knew that Li Quan was probably doing this to save face for Vice President Min, he still had to thank him appropriately.
"Haha, Director Fu is too polite. When my children come to the zoo to play in the future, you have to give me free tickets."
Li Quan said with a smile.
"No problem, as long as your children are willing to come, I welcome them anytime." Director Fu led the two of them through twists and turns, passed through a building, and entered a quiet courtyard.
It says here that non-staff members are not allowed to enter.
The sign hanging there means Animal Rescue Center.
After entering, Li Quan immediately saw a wounded lion trapped in a cage.
The lion had many scars on its body, especially on its head, where half of its ear was missing.
Now is the breeding season for animals.
It is estimated that this lion, which looks a little old, was probably defeated by a young lion.
Animals like lions and elephants want to reproduce, but they don't fall in love like humans do.
They don't even know how to be polite or humble.
Instead, it is solved directly through violence.
Whoever wins the fight will win the lioness.
This competition mechanism is actually very beneficial to the entire lion population.
Because only the strong have the power to reproduce. The weak will be eliminated and it is impossible for them to leave offspring.
This will keep the Leo family strong.
"Dean Li, it's the three golden monkeys. To be honest, I've been very worried about these three little guys. I've invited experts, used a lot of medicine, and treated them like ancestors, but their bodies are still getting weaker and weaker.
As of today, I have not eaten for three days. "
Director Fu explained the situation with a worried look on his face.
If humans go without food and water for three days, they will most likely die.
Even though the golden monkey's physique is better than that of humans, it will definitely die if it goes without food and water for three days.
Li Quan saw an IV bottle hanging nearby, which was injecting nutrient solution into the three golden snails.
Probably to prevent them from running around, they have been tied up to restrict their movements.
“When did they become sick?”
Li Quan walked to the front of the cage and began to observe the three monkeys carefully.
One male, one female, and a little one.
If I'm not mistaken, these three golden monkeys should be a family .
Li Quan's diagnosis technique has been quietly put into practice.
"According to the information provided by the breeder, they started to get sick half a month ago. Since then, they have become a little sluggish and like to curl up to sleep. Their appetite has also decreased a bit."
Director Fu replied.
I have been sick for more than half a month, no wonder I am so seriously ill.
"Have you taken their temperature or anything like that? Also, what are their symptoms? Are they just loss of appetite and lethargy?"
Li Quan asked about the condition of the golden monkey, which is called a medical consultation.
It is also the first indispensable step for doctors to treat patients.
"Well... their body temperature is feverish. In addition, they have diarrhea, convulsions, and sudden falls to the ground."
Director Fu has a good grasp of the situation of these three monkeys.
At least the data that should be understood is kept firmly in mind.
When Li Quan asked him questions, he was basically able to answer them fluently.
It was probably because something had happened to these three precious golden monkeys, and Director Fu was afraid that his superiors would come to inspect them. He would not be able to answer the question by then, and the golden monkeys he raised had become like this, so he himself had a certain responsibility.
His ability to answer questions fluently at least proved that he had not committed any misconduct.
"Can I touch them now?" Li Quan decided to show the little golden monkey first.
It's like a little child, it's really pitiful to look at it.
"Sure, sure. But you have to be careful not to get bitten by them," Director Fu reminded.
Their legs and forearms were tied.
I guess this is done to give them an infusion.
Li Quan squatted down, pinched open the monkey's mouth and checked its tongue coating.
Like humans, it also has a coated tongue.
The tongue shape is similar.
The monkey's tongue coating is white and too thick.
According to the Chinese medicine method of diagnosis by inspection, a thick and white tongue coating is mostly a sign of invasion of cold.
This is commonly known as wind-cold.
In addition, these three monkeys had symptoms such as fever, loss of appetite, and drowsiness.
These are very similar to the symptoms of a human cold.
Li Quan boldly speculated, could it be that these three monkeys just had a cold?
If this is true, why couldn't the experts and veterinarians mentioned above cure the disease?
