The number of orthopedic patients is increasing.
Dean Pi brought Hu Bolong, Zeng Xuefei, and Gao Jian to the department in person. When he saw that the orthopedic corridor was filled with beds, his eyes were filled with laughter.
"Give me a bed!" Dean Pi said.
"Director Tao, how many patients are there now?" Hu Bolong asked.
"More than 130."
"Well, the number of patients has increased from 60 or 70 to 130. The results are gratifying. Can I give you a floor with 60 beds to deal with emergencies first?" said Dean Pi.
"It's OK, but there will be fewer manpower." Director Tao said.
He is timid and has so many patients, so he is afraid of getting into trouble.
"Manpower is not a problem. You ask Liu Miqiao for it. Director Tao, how long has it been since there were no disputes?" Dean Pi asked again.
"It's been more than a month, ah, forty days." Director Tao then realized that there had been no formal disputes since Liu Maqiao intervened.
"Oh, do you understand now? In a department or a hospital, morale is the most important thing. Maintain it and try to avoid any disputes for three months."
Dean Pi's expectations for orthopedics are not very high. Three months is already his highest expectation for orthopedics.
Director Tao has no confidence and does not even have the courage to express his stance.
Just then, Liu Muqiao came out of the dressing room with his two apprentices. They had just performed another external fixation for an open fracture.
"Mu Qiao, we are considering freeing up the first floor downstairs for the Orthopedics Department. Director Tao is a little worried about the lack of manpower. You are the best at poaching people. Think about it." Dean Pi said.
"Okay, now I have 9 candidates and I'm considering them," Liu Muqiao said.
"Which hospitals are they from?"
"There are three in the Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, three in the First Affiliated Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, two in the Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and one in the Affiliated Hospital. They all want to come here, and they all want to be deputy chief doctors." Liu Muqiao said.
Dean Pi and Hu Bolong were shocked.
So many deputy chief doctors?
If the Department of Orthopedics suddenly adds so many backbones, what are you worried about?
"Please help me carefully investigate. Only those with real talent and practical knowledge will be selected." Dean Pi said loudly.
Liu Muqiao is also considering the division of orthopedics. Although it is not imminent, it is not too far away.
With 130 official beds, it will then expand to 200 patients. If it continues to develop at this rate, a second orthopedics department will have to be established.
At this time, a patient came in. He was a patient who came here half a year ago. He rushed in angrily, grabbed Dr. Fan's collar and shouted: "What do you think we should do?"
He held an X-ray in his hand.
"Put your hands down and speak slowly." Dr. Fan's temper is much better now. If it had been in the past, he would have started a fight.
He took the X-ray film from the patient and blushed.
This is the patient he treated.
He was a patient with a fractured humerus in his arm. The fracture line was not aligned, only one-third of it was aligned.
This is indeed Dr. Fan’s responsibility.
"This... this..." Dr. Fan stammered, unsure of what to do, and said, "Maybe... I need to operate and reattach it."
"Operation? Half a year ago, you didn't do it, and now you want me to do it? I don't do it, so you are responsible for reconnecting my arm, and I still have to work to support my family." The patient was also anxious, he was afraid of surgery.
"Then, I have no choice."
Dr. Fan really has nothing to do. The patient’s callus has already grown. If you don’t do the surgery, what can I do?
The patient is angry.
Anyone else would be angry.
It has been more than half a year, and the disease should have been cured. Now you are saying that you have to start over and have surgery.
Now make an incision and nail the steel plate on, and then wait a year later to do another incision and remove the steel plate. Aren't these two years wasted in vain?
There is only one formal worker in his family, and his two children are still studying. The eldest one will take the college entrance examination next year. Who will pay for his studies?
This is a problem, even eating is a problem.
He was angry and yelled.
Then I broke down and started crying.
Liu Muqiao went over and said, "Brother, if you need anything, tell me and I will help you solve it."
The patient said: "You can help me solve it? You can't solve it either! They have to re-operate on me!"
Liu Muqiao picked up the film, looked at it, and said, "You don't need an operation. I'll reattach it. It won't hurt, not at all. Just put a plaster back on. The plaster can be loosened in three months, and it can be removed in half a year."
Do light physical work, and after a year, your hands will be completely healed."
The patient's mood eased a little, "I have two requests. One is that I want Dr. Liu to do it for me, and the other is that I will not pay any more medical expenses."
Liu Muqiao said: "I agree to the first condition, and I think it's no problem to the second condition. I can also give you half a year's lost wages."
Then, Liu Muqiao said: "Three six hundred and eighty, one hundred and eighty days, two hundred yuan a day. If you are not satisfied, I will give you a half discount and I will accompany you for eighteen thousand yuan."
The patient was a little surprised and thought for a moment, "If you do this, you can give me 18,000. Thank you very much. Who are you? Do you keep your word?"
"I am Liu Muqiao."
"Ah? You are Dr. Liu, so please help me treat me. How do you plan to do it?"
Liu Muqiao smiled and said: "I need to re-break your arm bones and align them again."
The patient's face changed drastically, "Won't it hurt to death?"
Liu Muqiao said: "Have you never heard of the 'painless bone-setting method'? I guarantee you will not be in pain."
"I don't, I'm afraid."
"Otherwise, I'll let you fall asleep and the operation will be completed in your sleep."
"Surgery? Didn't I say no surgery?"
"Oh, you misunderstood. The surgery I am talking about is a term. It means bone grafting, not surgery."
"You scare me."
"I won't scare you. Now, I'll let you fall asleep." Liu Miqiao didn't want to talk to him anymore, so he used horse resin to make the patient fall asleep.
He said to Li Hua, "Bring the long splint and prepare to put on the plaster."
Li Hua, Zhong Mingliang, and Dr. Fan are very confused, what are you doing?
"What to do?"
"Break!"
"Did you really break it? We thought you were scaring him!"
Li Hua quickly prepared the materials. Liu Miqiao grabbed the patient's arm and pulled it hard. There was a "click" and the patient's arm was broken.
Liu Miqiao then pulled, twisted, and pinched a few more times. He looked carefully and found that they were all neatly aligned. Then he clamped a splint, tied a bandage, and massaged the acupuncture points on his arm a few times.
This is to help him relieve pain.
After a few massages like this, there will be no pain for twenty-four hours. After twenty-four hours, the patient will have no pain either.
This kind of massage, chosen on acupoints, stimulates the central brain to secrete endorphins, which has a strong analgesic effect.
The patient woke up.
When he saw that his arm was already in plaster, he said in surprise: "Have you connected the arm?"
Liu Muqiao smiled slightly and said, "I told you it wouldn't hurt, right? It doesn't hurt at all, right?"
It doesn't hurt now because the acupuncture points are stimulated and a large amount of endorphins are produced in the body.
Liu Muqiao is preparing to conduct experiments in this area.
He is planning to study experiments on how acupoint massage can stimulate the body to release endorphins. If the research is successful, it will be a model of combining basic medicine and clinical medicine.
The key is that the significance of this research is that it can greatly reduce the pain of orthopedic patients.
He plans to complete this research within a year.
The assistants are Li Hua and Zhong Mingliang.
