Chapter 1073 I Can’t Tell, That’s Ok!
Since Director Luo invited him to consult, Yang Ping has some time now and is not in a hurry to go back, so Yang Ping followed Director Luo to see what kind of patient he was consulting and whether he could help.
Professor Su, Director Yuan and several other directors also moved together. Other doctors and nurses, especially young doctoral and master's students, saw Yang Ping being invited to another ward by Director Luo, and they immediately followed.
Although Yang Ping would come to Nandu Affiliated Hospital for consultation or lectures, he could only come once or twice a month. Now because of Professor Chang's treatment, Yang Ping runs here every day, which is an excellent learning opportunity for these graduate students. Their enthusiasm for learning is still very high, and they can't wait to follow Yang Ping every step of the way, so that they can learn something new that is not in the books. Even if there is nothing new, listening to Professor Yang's words can broaden everyone's thinking.
For example, Professor Yang's new ideas and methods for treating rabies are not usually seen in books. This is the newest and most cutting-edge technology in the world. Before this, they didn't have any hibernation therapy to treat rabies.
Director Luo took Yang Ping and everyone to another ward, where an old man was lying. He looked to be about 70 or 80 years old. He was in a deep coma, with various pipes and wires connected to his body. The distribution of pipes and wires was extremely dense, so dense that wire ties were needed to tie the wires and pipes into bundles for easy identification and management.
This ward was actually quite spacious, but because the patient used too many auxiliary machines, it was estimated that all the equipment that could be used had been used. Many machines were crowded in the ward, occupying most of the space, making the ward look very narrow.
Because the space was too small, only a few heavyweights such as Director Luo, Yang Ping, and Professor Su could stand inside. These people had to stand a little closer to each other, and the rest could only squeeze at the door.
Yang Ping had seen all kinds of patients, but he had never seen such a patient. I'm afraid this patient was completely dependent on machines to maintain his life, and pulling out any pipe could bring his life to an abrupt end.
"Patient, male, 82 years old..."
Director Luo personally reported the medical records to Yang Ping. A doctoral student next to him secretly handed over the medical record folder. Yang Ping glanced at the medical record. I'm afraid this is the thickest medical record he has ever seen since he started practicing medicine. It is very thick. The thickness of the paper medical record sandwiched in the middle has reached the limit of this medical record folder. It is estimated to be at least several hundred pages, causing the two pages of the plastic medical record folder to be exaggeratedly opened.
Director Luo declined the kindness of the clever doctor and waved his hand: "No need to look at the medical record. This patient has lived with us for three years. I can recite his condition backwards."
When Director Luo saw Yang Ping staring at the medical record, he immediately understood that he might be surprised by the exaggerated thickness of the medical record. Director Luo explained: "In fact, the medical records are now probably taller than a person when stacked up. What everyone sees are the reorganized medical records, which is only a part of it."
"Put it on the medical record car." Director Luo instructed the doctor who delivered the medical record to continue reporting the medical record.
As he said, he didn't need the subordinate doctors to report the medical records, nor did he need to open the medical record folder. He could just speak. Indeed, he had memorized the medical records.
Yang Ping listened carefully to his medical record report and frowned. If he continued to report like this, he would not be able to complete the medical record report in a few hours. Director Luo immediately realized this problem and said, "I will report the medical records briefly."
Even though he was concise and highly condensed the medical records, it took Director Luo a full fifteen minutes to finish the report. Yang Ping sorted out the patient's condition and roughly understood what was going on with the patient. He thought to himself: Director Luo, you really treat me like a god. A patient who is almost brain dead has been in the ICU for three years. Now he relies entirely on machines to maintain organ function. As long as any machine is removed, the patient's heart will stop beating immediately. This kind of patient has no clinical significance for treatment. Now he comes to me for consultation. What is the purpose and significance of the consultation? As an ICU director, it is impossible not to know that this is a waste of time. But Yang Ping still listened to Director Luo very patiently.
"Professor Yang, this patient is over 80 years old and close to brain death, but his family refuses to give up. Can you help see if there is still hope for this patient? We have suggested to the family many times to give up, but they refused every time and scolded us. We are very short of beds here, and one bed can save many lives every year. Now this patient has been in our ICU for more than three years, and we have to invest a lot of medical resources every day to maintain him. It would be great if there is hope that he can be cured and discharged." Director Luo sighed.
What's going on? A patient close to brain death asked Professor Yang for a consultation? Isn't this a waste of Professor Yang's time? The graduate students gathered at the door listened carefully to the conversation inside, fearing that they would miss any important words.
Professor Su was just listening to Director Luo's medical record report, but the more he listened, the more something was wrong. Director Luo omitted the patient's name when reporting the medical record, but why did the patient's condition sound so familiar? So he waved his hand and said, "Let me see the medical record."
The doctoral student behind him handed the medical record over with both hands respectfully, but found that the medical record was too heavy, so the doctoral student and another student simply held it with both hands for Professor Su to read.
Professor Su glanced at the name on the medical record and immediately understood. This is a patient with public medical care. The whole hospital has held dozens of consultations and out-of-hospital consultations. He personally participated in several of them. No wonder it sounds so familiar.
A patient who is close to brain death and relies on machines to maintain the vitality of his organs, why did he ask Yang Ping for consultation? What is this Director Luo doing? He is not asking Yang Ping for consultation, but asking me for consultation. Professor Su immediately understood what was going on.
Director Luo wanted to take this precious opportunity to complain to Professor Su. Although this patient has public medical care and is not short of money, he has lived here for more than three years and has consumed a lot of medical resources. The beds and equipment in the ICU are already in short supply. This patient has to occupy several life-saving machines alone, and they need to be occupied all the time. These machines are life-saving machines. If they are used here, other places will be in short supply.
But this kind of thing is not easy for Professor Su to handle. As a dean, he actually needs not only strong academic ability, but also good management. More importantly, he needs to handle various relationships and be able to dance with his sleeves. Professor Su is this kind of person. It can be said that he is a compound talent.
"Old Luo, I'll help you with this patient. Professor Yang is very busy, so don't bother him." Professor Su now knew what he was up to. He was just complaining. With the development of the ICU, Director Luo was short of staff and equipment. He hoped that the dean could come forward, assign a few people, and purchase some new equipment.
"Thank you, Dean Su." Director Luo smiled immediately. Dean Su always kept his word. If he said he would help with the consultation, things would be much easier. The new equipment and several doctors he wanted would be in place soon.
As for this patient, to be honest, he knew in his heart that Professor Su would never intervene forcibly. The world is not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships. Director Luo still understands this.
"Thank you, Dean Su." Director Luo said immediately.
Since the matter has been settled, Director Luo doesn't need to let so many people gather here to waste time, so everyone ended the consultation.
The consultation ended just like that. What happened? Professor Yang hasn't spoken yet? Professor Su is an orthopedic surgeon. How could he ask Director Luo to go to him for a consultation?
The doctors and masters who were gathered around didn't know what was going on. They had never encountered such a consultation before. Some people thought they had missed some important information because they were distracted.
"Did you hear Professor Yang's speech just now? How to treat this patient?"
"No, I didn't hear it."
"What happened?"
"I don't know."
These doctors and masters were still too young. They only had medical knowledge in their heads, but they couldn't figure out what the patient had consulted today. How could the consultation be resolved in just a few words?
——
Professor Chang's condition was getting better day by day, and Yang Ping's work focus also shifted back to his department.
He also took the time to summarize the innovation of rabies treatment. In fact, he didn't do much work for this innovation. He just understood all the existing research theories on rabies thoroughly, integrated them, and then connected the theory with the clinic again in connection with clinical practice.
The theory is ready-made, the drugs are ready-made, and hibernation treatment is a common method in neurology. If they are separated, there is actually nothing innovative, but when they are combined together, a brand new theory is formed. This also gave Yang Ping some inspiration.
After returning to the department, Yang Ping wanted to take time to see Sisi, but there was no one in the ward. The nurse said that Sisi went to the psychology department, and Director Bai of the psychology department was chatting with her. Because Sisi is still relatively young and has been suffering from illness for a long time, although the little girl is very smart and strong, it is still easy to have a negative impact on her psychology, so Yang Ping regularly asked Director Bai of the psychology department to chat with her and conduct correct psychological counseling.
It is completely necessary to provide psychological help to some patients, especially tumor patients. Not only patients, but also medical staff who are in a high-pressure working state for a long time actually need certain psychological counseling. However, at present, China does not pay much attention to psychological counseling, and sometimes even feels ashamed to see the psychology department.
Sisi will be able to resume school in a few days. This child is smart and has completed the primary school curriculum in advance, so delaying for a period of time will not affect her studies at all. The subsequent K virus therapy only requires taking time to be hospitalized for a few days each time, which is very convenient.
Yang Ping also went to see Zhao Yufan. After he received K virus therapy, his tumor was significantly reduced. These obvious treatment effects made Zhao excited and he did not sleep for several days and nights. This time, Zhao felt the feeling of being saved from a desperate situation. Zhao, his son, and the patient next door were playing Landlord in the ward and having a great time.
Xia Shu and Head Nurse Cai were also very hard during this period. They were the main members of the experimental team. Now that Sisi's experiment was successful, they also returned to the normal work of the department.
There is no wrong version in the 16-9 book bar!
Yang Ping also checked himself several times later. No K virus was found in his body, which means that it has been cleared, so he doesn't have to worry at all now.
Hermes has not been back since he came back from Africa. He went to Sanbo Hospital every few days. He simply regarded the hospital as his second home. The doctors and nurses of the entire surgical institute are very familiar with him. He either sent fruits or cakes. Anyway, he always arranged to send food to the doctors and nurses every time.
He had nothing to do at the Surgical Institute except sitting in the doctor's office and playing. If a doctor was free, he would chat with him. If no one was free, they would ignore him. He would move a chair and sit in the corner by himself, or stand in front of a human skeleton and meditate. He would not stay for too long each time, about half an hour, and would not cause any trouble to anyone.
This time, Hermes took a tape measure and measured the human skeleton in the doctor's office. Sometimes he observed the human skeleton from different angles, sometimes frowned, sometimes nodded, sometimes touched his chin, and took photos from different angles with his mobile phone, recording something from time to time. The doctors didn't know what he was doing.
Yang Ping came out of the ward and returned to the doctor's office to see Hermes staring at the human skeleton in a daze with a tape measure in his hand. He couldn't help asking him: "Lao Wang, are you planning to change your career to study medicine?"
'Oh, Professor Yang, you're back. 'Hermes smiled, "I was thinking, can we make a 1.8-meter-tall skeleton out of gold? Putting it in your doctor's office will make it look grand. The Institute of Surgery is the world's top medical research base, so we have to have some things that look grand, right? I thought about it, it doesn't take much gold to make a gold skeleton, but I was thinking that pure gold is a bit soft, but not using pure gold would make it look low-class. Oh, by the way, all the copper signs at the entrance of your first floor should be replaced with gold, so that it will look grand." Hermes said seriously, not joking at all. In fact, when Hermes talked about gold, you must not think he was joking or bragging, he was absolutely serious about gold.
"You were thinking about this just now when you were standing in front of it?" Yang Ping was very surprised. He was really professional. No matter where he went, he was filled with gold in his heart.
Hermes touched his chin: "Professor, if you nod, I will do it. I will make this skeleton 1.8 meters tall, and I will also enlarge the sign at the door a little bit from the original size."
"Are you sure that if we replace our sign with pure gold, it can be hung until the next day?" Yang Ping asked a serious question.
"It seems so. If there are dozens of pure gold signs hanging at the door, if people know about it, it will be stolen by thieves that night. This is indeed a problem." Hermes thought for a while.
"If you put a golden skeleton here, we still have to send a few security guards to guard it in three shifts, right?" Yang Ping asked another serious question.
Hermes touched his chin: "Yes, a security team will also be specially assigned to guard the sign at the door in shifts. Isn't this problem solved?"
Yang Ping was speechless now. At this time, a doctor from the urology department came in for consultation and immediately recognized Hermes when he saw him: "Mr. Wang?"
"Yes, who are you?" Hermes couldn't remember for a while.
"You know me, I'm from the urology department. I helped you upgrade your equipment with Director Lu. Do you remember?" the urology doctor said.
Hermes immediately remembered: "Mr. Liao?"
"Oh, now I'm promoted to chief physician, and I'm no longer the general manager." The urologist smiled and said, "Are you satisfied with your upgraded equipment? Is it easy to use?"
"Thank you, thank you very much, it's very easy to use." Hermes said with satisfaction.
Because he was in the doctor's office, the urologist forgot to be shy and immediately said: "I seem to remember that your upgrade operation was very successful, and it was strengthened by 6 centimeters. You were originally considered normal equipment, but after such a strong strengthening, it really became an enhanced version. I tested it at the time, and it seemed to reach 18 centimeters in the working state. I still have photos here to write a paper."
The doctors in the office immediately turned their heads, and one of the doctors who was familiar with him said: "Lao Wang, I can't tell, it's OK!"
"If you need it, find me, it's free, I'm collecting cases to write a paper." The urologist immediately began to promote it.
