Shao Yanfang felt that he could not be called a hero.
Because heroes can create trends.
But...he was really determined in his heart to be the "bamboo" written by Zheng Banqiao.
No matter how difficult the journey of TCM oncology is, we must grit our teeth and never relax.
Because the country really needs to train a group of capable oncologists.
Whether it is Chinese medicine or Western medicine, Shao Yanfang is not picky.
but……
The key is that as a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, he really has to do a good job in his own three-thirds of an acre of land.
Chen Nan is not Shao Yanfang, and I don't know the burden he carries and his confusion about the future.
Shao Yanfang knew this very well.
He knows that it is definitely much more difficult for Chinese traditional Chinese medicine oncology to achieve results than Western medicine.
Why?
Because there is not one more Western doctor, for those Western capitals, this is equivalent to cultivating an excellent "wage worker".
The guidelines they use are produced by us, the drugs they use are produced and developed by us, and the surgical instruments they use are also produced by us.
If so, why should I skimp on technology?
The more you learn, the better you can serve us!
This is also the reason why foreign countries have been very hospitable to domestic oncology experts in recent years.
But……
Is this good?
Shao Yanfang doesn't think this is good.
On the contrary, all this is just the beginning...
The field of domestic oncology medicine is indeed not as developed as some countries that have developed modern science and technology and started early. Moreover, in the field of the latest treatment methods, others are leading the way. Some people may not take it seriously.
It can be said that medicine knows no borders.
Also, we can also use foreign drugs and perform surgeries similar to foreign ones, isn’t it the same?
But...can it really be the same?
In terms of cancer survival rate, the current five-year survival rate of cancer patients in China is only about 30%. In the United States, this value can reach 73%, and in countries such as Japan and the United Kingdom, it can also reach about 68%.
Doesn’t this value explain something?
and!
Currently, many anti-cancer drugs in the Chinese market are monopolized by imported drugs.
Once a drug is monopolized, its price... is boundless!
At present, my country's basic medical insurance participation rate is stable at more than 95%, but most imported anti-cancer drugs are not covered by reimbursement. Therefore, even if the approval procedures are simplified, imported anti-cancer drugs can be launched simultaneously with foreign countries.
but!
High pricing can also dissuade cancer patients.
This is different.
Shao Yanfang believed that he was not capable enough to compete with others on such a track.
But... he also hopes that he can lead domestic TCM oncology and develop in a good direction.
This is Shao Yanfang's biggest pursuit in his life!
He drank a few glasses of white wine tonight, his mind wandered a bit, and he returned to the hotel with his head shaking and stayed there.
…
…
On Monday, the hospital's outpatient office called Chen Nan to discuss specific matters regarding the outpatient clinic.
The other party was a young girl who spoke very warmly and earnestly: "Director Chen, how many times a week do you intend to provide outpatient services?"
After Chen Nan thought for a moment, he said, "All day on Wednesday."
"Just one full day a week."
The other party nodded: "Okay, then...do you want to limit the number?"
Chen Nan hesitated for a moment: "Limited numbers, 100 in the morning and afternoon."
The other party nodded: "One more thing, Director Chen."
"Regarding your publicity and promotion, we don't have a template here yet. We need the staff of the Publicity Department to contact you and then supplement it."
"Can you see it?"
After hearing this, Chen Nan immediately shook his head: "No need."
"I don't need publicity for the time being. Please help me refuse these publicity and promotions."
"If necessary, I will take the initiative to contact you. I'm really sorry to bother you."
The other party was somewhat surprised when he heard Chen Nan's refusal.
After all, there aren’t many people who refuse, right?
Chen Nan is the deputy director of the ward of the Real Power Clinical Department. Generally speaking, these clinical people are very concerned about their own business volume.
Promotion or something...needless to say.
There are tons of opportunities to be on TV!
To put it bluntly, this is a China-Japan Friendship Hospital, and there will be many cooperation and promotion channels.
Even CCTV has a chance.
Not to mention anything else.
However, after hearing Chen Nan's rejection, although she was curious, she still nodded and agreed:
"Okay, Director Chen, that's it. If you think of anything you need to add, you can call me and just call me Xiao Lin."
"Director Chen, I won't disturb you anymore."
After saying that, the other party hung up the phone.
Wednesday is here in the blink of an eye.
Chen Nan himself was not prepared, but...he thought that there should not be many patients.
Unfortunately, Chen Nan thought wrong from the beginning.
After going to work in the morning, there is an endless stream of patients.
Suddenly there were twenty or thirty people at the door.
This is the base!
Chen Nan's department is not oncology, but internal medicine.
It mainly focuses on comprehensive internal medicine.
There are all kinds of patients.
But... without helpers, Chen Nan has to do everything by himself. This feeling, to be honest... is a bit tricky.
In addition, Chen Nan is too young, and some people who have registered are beginning to find ways to cancel their accounts.
No one would believe a Chinese medicine doctor in his twenties!
Moreover, Chen Nan is the deputy director of the ward, so the registration fee is not cheap.
Everyone is looking for experts, so naturally it is impossible to find someone who looks so young.
but……
Shortly after ten o'clock, a woman hurried in with a film and said breathlessly:
"Hello, doctor...I'm back!"
"Huhu..."
The woman was young, only about twenty-seven or seventy-eight years old. She wore a little makeup and didn't look very stunning, but... she had a kind of intellectual beauty. But at this time, she was sweating profusely, even though she was
In winter, the hair is also wet with sweat.
Chen Nan remembered the woman who came here with a young man just now. The other man was wearing a mask and kept coughing.
Chen Nan asked him to take a X-ray first to see if it caused pneumonia.
actually……
The woman sat down, put the film on the diagnosis and treatment table, and said in a somewhat uneasy voice: "Doctor, please check...if there is pneumonia..."
"Just now...the doctor who examined us asked us a lot of questions..."
"And he said..."
Chen Nan remained calm, picked up the film and started watching it.
This is a CT scan of the lungs.
The reason why Chen Nan asked him to film was not just because of pneumonia...
When he was feeling the patient's pulse just now, he clearly felt that the patient's condition seemed to be...not a cough caused by superficial symptoms.
That's why Chen Nan asked to make the film.
"Where is the patient?"
There was some fear in the woman's eyes: "He went to the toilet... he was nervous..."
"He tends to have diarrhea when he's nervous..."
"During the examination just now, the doctor said that he...may have a tumor..."
As she spoke, the woman's voice suddenly became more crying.
Those big eyes were suddenly filled with tears!
When Chen Nan saw this, his heart suddenly thumped.
"Show me the film."
While talking, Chen Nan picked up the film and read it carefully.
This look...
Chen Nan couldn't help but frown. He could see that there were glass-like nodules on the lung lobes, and the density was relatively low, irregular in shape... and even short burrs.
this……
It’s really possible!
Chen Nan looked at the woman, put the film on the table, and was about to think about how to explain his condition.
The woman looked at Chen Nan and suddenly started crying, with a hint of helplessness and fear in her voice:
"doctor……"
"You...could it...could it really be lung cancer?"
Chen Nan sighed helplessly.
Sometimes, he really doesn't want to tell patients the diagnosis results.
But...he is a doctor, he can't do this.
Chen Nan thought for a moment and said patiently:
"Don't be nervous yet."
"The current lung CT can only be said to consider lung cancer, but... it is not certain."
"There may be other circumstances."
"Don't be nervous yet."
The woman was grasping at straws: "Definitely not, doctor, it's definitely not lung cancer."
"He just had a cough for a few days. It's definitely not lung cancer..."
"How old is he? He just celebrated his 27th birthday..."
"How could it be lung cancer?"
"Doctor, there must be a mistake in the film."
Seeing the woman's emotions reaching the edge of collapse, Chen Nan handed the woman a piece of paper: "Listen to me."
"Now, no one can be certain that it is lung cancer."
"To confirm the diagnosis, we still need to perform a lung biopsy and perform pathological testing."
"Only with the results of the medical examination can we determine what is going on and whether it is cancer."
"Understood?"
When the woman heard this, her eyes widened and she said, "Okay!"
"Okay, doctor, let's do the examination."
"Hurry up and check it out."
"He's definitely not..."
Chen Nan took out a medical examination form from the side, and then took out a treatment consent form and a disease notification form one by one.
After all, medical examinations are risky and require signatures from family members.
"You are a family member, please sign first."
"Then, I'll call you and do a checkup as soon as possible."
"Don't worry too much."
The woman nodded quickly, took the informed consent form with her hands as if snatching it, and then said quickly:
"Okay, okay!"
"I'll sign right away!"
"Thank you doctor."
At this time... Chen Nan suddenly asked: "By the way, are you his family member?"
The woman was stunned for a moment: "Family members...family members?"
"I'm his girlfriend, so I should be a family member, right?"
As she spoke, the woman's hand, which was about to sign, suddenly stopped.
Chen Nan was also stunned for a moment, frowned and said, "Sorry!"
"no."
"My girlfriend is not a family member."
"This signature cannot be made."
"Does he have no other family members?"
The woman stood there, her hands trembling helplessly, and the pen in her hand was clenched tightly, making a squeaking sound.
"Doctor, please, let me sign!"
"He...he...he has no parents anymore."
"He grew up with his grandfather."
The woman was crying while talking, and her tears couldn't stop flowing down.
"He was abandoned by his parents when he was a child, and was raised by his grandfather."
"His grandfather is over 80 years old this year. He is getting older, and... he lives far away. It is impossible to get through now."
"Please."
"I can take responsibility."
"Really, can you let me sign?"
When Chen Nan heard this, he was also a little helpless.
But... rules are rules...
Even if Chen Nan allowed the other party to sign, it would still not work when he went to the examination department.
This is the hospital policy...
Chen Nan looked at the woman who was in tears, standing there, also a little moved and silent.
After the woman was silent there for a long time, she suddenly took a deep breath.
Then he wiped away the tears on his face and tidied up his makeup to make himself look like nothing was wrong.
Then he said to Chen Nan:
"Sorry...doctor, I'm disturbing you."
While talking, the woman walked outside.
This matter made Chen Nan feel a little emotional.
Although he has already prepared for the oncology department, he needs to have a seemingly cold-blooded heart.
However, faced with such a tragedy, he still couldn't let go.
One morning...
Chen Nan saw several more tumor patients, and without exception, everyone's face was filled with heavy and sad emotions.
This kind of emotion also made Chen Nan feel a little depressed.
He suddenly remembered what a teacher said when he was in school.
"If you want to say which department is the most profitable as a doctor, it has to be the oncology department."
"but……"
"You need to be prepared, that is, you will be in this tone for the rest of your life and it will be difficult to extricate yourself."
Chen Nan didn't quite understand this sentence at that time, but...at this moment, he gradually understood it a little bit.
Morning, twelve o'clock.
Chen Nan no longer has any patients.
He stood up, washed his hands and face, and tried to cheer himself up.
This depressed morning made me feel somewhat depressed and dull.
He had even made plans to call Gu Lin after get off work today and ask him to take him for a drink.
Just as he was about to take off his white coat and prepare to leave.
Suddenly the sound of opening the door sounded again.
I saw a woman sweating profusely and panting standing at the door, saying to Chen Nan: "I'm sorry... are you off work? Doctor..."
"Can I interrupt you for a few minutes?"
Chen Nan looked at the woman, wasn't this the same woman just now?
Why are you back?
"Well, it's okay. Are the family members... here?"
After Chen Nan asked this question, he felt as if his brain had been kicked by a donkey.
This question is... really enlightening.
But……
Who would have thought that the woman quickly said: "It's coming! It's coming!"
Chen Nan was a little surprised: "So fast?"
"Then... then sign it quickly and check it quickly!"
"I'll call them to see if they can work overtime."
"By the way, where are the family members?"
"Sign quickly!"
"This is the informed consent form, this is the disease notification form..."
At this time, the woman quickly took out two small red notebooks from her bag and placed them on the table in front of Chen Nan.
Then he looked at Chen Nan with red eyes: "Doctor... this... like this, can I sign?!"
These words struck Chen Nan's mind like a bolt of lightning.
because……
There are a few words printed on these two notebooks.
"Marriage certificate!"
For a moment, Chen Nan's heart felt as if someone had suddenly pinched it!
He even felt that many cells in his body were trembling, and even his scalp was numb. It was a feeling that touched the deepest and weakest part of his soul...
Even, for some reason, Chen Nan felt his nose was sore and his defenses were a bit broken.
For a moment, Chen Nan was a little envious of the other party for meeting such a good girl!
Chen Nan's heart, at this moment, could not calm down for a long time, and was even trembling...
He suddenly remembered a sentence on the Internet: I started to believe in love again...
This is so true!
Chen Nan opened his mouth and said hesitantly: "Okay... okay..."
The girl's tears suddenly burst out of her eyes, and they fell on the informed consent form.
This informed consent form is just like the one they signed at the Civil Affairs Bureau...
The girl nodded and bowed to Chen Nan, then took out a bag of red packaging from her bag and handed it to Chen Nan, and said slowly and choked with tears:
"Doctor...you can eat your wedding candy."
Chen Nan couldn't bear this sentence anymore.
Tears burst out unconsciously. He quickly turned around, wiped away the tears, and whispered: "Thank you."
The girl continued to wipe her tears, raised her hands tremblingly, held the pen tightly, and signed the name on it.
She didn't expect...
Soon, it will be time to enter into the duties of a wife.
I didn't even expect...
After she became a wife, the first contract she got that she had the right to sign was an... Informed Consent...
When the girl thought of this, her tears turned into laughter.
Chen Nan looked at where the girl was signing her name seriously. She signed slowly because she was looking seriously...
It seems that she wants to fulfill her first duty as a wife.
"Doctor...I've signed it."
Chen Nan looked at the woman and nodded: "Well, you can go over now."
"There is someone waiting for you at the medical examination. When you get there, ask for Dr. Hou."
The woman smiled and nodded: "Okay, thank you doctor."
Chen Nan smiled: "Well, by the way... I wish you... a happy marriage!"
The woman turned around and looked at Chen Nan, her tearful eyes filled with happiness.
"Thanks!"
The woman left in a hurry.
Chen Nan sat down, her mind filled with the emotion she felt when the girl took out her marriage certificate just now.
He couldn't help but pick up the wedding candies, opened the bag, opened one and stuffed it into his mouth.
Very sweet!
This silky chocolate.
Very warm!
There is also the intoxication of wine.
Chen Nan took a deep breath and seemed to understand something.
Perhaps... the oncology department is indeed full of joys and sorrows, and the depression of the world, but... isn't this the most beautiful place in the world?
Because there are so many sincere feelings here.
This is a treasure that cannot be seen anywhere.
Bitterness and sweetness always go together.
Chen Nan took a deep breath!
He seems to have found motivation.
He wants to make the oncology department full of hope!
At least, he must rely on his own strength to save more patients...
…
ps: I wrote this after I accidentally saw a short video and was very shocked. Alas...
I wish there were no diseases in the world.
May all lovers in the world get married eventually.
