"This time the patient is relatively older, so preoperative evaluation and preoperative examination must be done properly."
Fang Le gave Meng Qingfei careful instructions.
This time, the patient was a 70-year-old man, and the donor was the man's 54-year-old daughter.
"This liver transplant should be regarded as the first living donor liver transplant for the elderly in China."
Meng Qingfei said: "Our department has always attached great importance to it, and we have been implementing the conditioning plan that Professor Fang told you the day before yesterday."
Chu Jianlin's eyes subconsciously looked at Meng Qingfei.
The country's first elderly living donor liver transplant surgery, this man surnamed Meng really knows how to find gimmicks.
However, Meng Qingfei's statement is not too far-fetched. Seventy years old is indeed considered an advanced age.
It’s just that one hand can count the number of liver transplant surgeries that have been performed in the country on one hand. Counting the failed case in Jingnan last year and the case completed this year by the No. 1 Hospital of Shenhai City under the guidance of Yuro Tanabe, the number of liver transplant surgeries can be counted on one hand.
A total of six cases have been completed, one case failed, and one case was completed yesterday by Xijing Hospital. Fang Le also provided telephone guidance, and the other three cases were completed by Fang Le.
There are only so many of them in total. If you really want to be the first one, it’s really not that difficult.
Chu Jianlin was thinking about whether his hospital would take a look at younger patients, which would be the first case of his kind.
Meng Qingfei didn't care what Chu Jianlin thought, that's how they promoted it this time. The first elderly living donor liver transplant was still the first in the country.
Public hospitals cannot advertise or do publicity. What they need is this kind of gimmick. Only if the gimmick is big can it be in the news and newspapers. This is the achievement of the hospital.
"Professor Fang, do you want to practice two surgeries today to practice your skills?"
Meng Qingfei asked Fang Le.
"also."
Fang Le nodded. He has a restless personality, and Yanjing doesn't need to accompany his wife. It's not interesting to be in the hospital without treating patients. It's quite boring.
"Then I'll make arrangements right away."
Meng Qingfei said: "The conditions here in our Yanjing Hospital are better than those in Jiangzhong, and we can do two laparoscopic surgeries."
"Lao Meng, you are plucking your hair like a wild goose."
Chu Jianlin couldn't help but said.
Fang Leke is not only good at liver transplantation, but also good at laparoscopic surgery. The first laparoscopic right liver tumor resection in the country was performed by Fang Le. Meng Qingfei is too smart in his calculations.
"Professor Fang didn't say anything. You, Chu Jianlin, just have a lot to do. Why don't you go back to Xiehe."
Meng Qingfei cursed angrily.
If you plucking the goose's hair yourself, if Professor Fang comes to your Union, you Chu Jianlin may be more ruthless than me.
"hiss!"
In the internal medicine ward, Louis couldn't help scratching his body, inhaling and scratching through the hospital gown. It was really itchy.
"In this case, the more you scratch, the more itchy you become. Please be patient."
Zhang Zhengqing reminded Louis while leading doctors and nurses to examine him.
There was a beautiful assistant taking care of Louis nearby who helped Zhang Zhengqing translate.
"But it's so uncomfortable."
Louis complained: "Today is even more uncomfortable than yesterday."
"If Mr. Lewis doesn't mind, why don't you try Chinese medicine?"
Zhang Zhengqing suggested.
Yesterday, Lu Qisheng told Louis that Zhang Zhengqing was not present when Fang Le talked about Chinese medicine and had already left the ward, but there was a nurse in the special needs ward, and Zhang Zhengqing had already heard about it from the nurse.
The special needs ward of the hospital has the highest level of care, followed by the special care ward, then the observation ward, general ward, etc. The hierarchical management of the wards is different, and of course the benefits and prices are also different.
At Yanjing Hospital, the wards are even more strictly graded. As a foreign guest and a senior executive of Siemens in China, Louis enjoys the highest treatment.
"Then please doctor, please help me find a Chinese medicine doctor."
Yesterday, Louis completely disagreed, but Lu Qisheng's words still made Louis a little shaken.
I couldn't sleep well last night due to itchiness and discomfort. This kind of suffering was really unbearable for Lewis.
The disease is indeed not a serious illness, but this kind of discomfort and suffering is really tormenting.
"I'll call the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine right now."
Zhang Zhengqing replied politely, and then asked the attending attending to call the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine and ask an expert from the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine to come for consultation.
About twenty minutes after the call was made, Cheng Cailiang walked into the ward.
"Director Cheng."
What Zhang Zhengqing didn't expect was Cheng Cailiang, director of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
"I happened to be in the duty room. I came over right after I answered the phone."
Cheng Cailiang nodded to Zhang Zhengqing.
For patients in special needs wards like Louis, if other departments are invited for consultation, at least one deputy director must come. Zhang Zhengqing just didn't expect that the person who came was Cheng Cailiang.
"Director Cheng, this is the patient's medical record."
Zhang Zhengqing handed Louis' medical records to Cheng Cailiang, and at the same time explained the situation to Cheng Cailiang on the side.
"Mr. Lewis's situation is not difficult to deal with. A decoction of half and half Guizhi and Ephedra can be effective in just one dose."
After listening to Zhang Zhengqing's explanation of the situation and checking the medical records, Cheng Cailiang made a judgment in his mind. After diagnosing the pulse, he said directly: "I'll prescribe it first and take a dose."
It is indeed a bit troublesome for Western medicine to treat Lewis's disease. The patient has red spots all over his body and the medication is not effective. However, any doctor with a little bit of experience in traditional Chinese medicine can accurately identify the cause of the disease.
As the director of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department and chief physician of Yanjing Hospital, Cheng Cailiang still has this ability.
"Sorry, Director Cheng."
Zhang Zhengqing said politely.
"Director Zhang is out for a visit."
Cheng Cailiang prescribed the prescription and left without staying much longer.
Louis is from D country, and he doesn’t speak Chinese well. There is no need for Cheng Cailiang to explain to Louis. There is nothing much to explain about such a minor illness. Just take a dose of medicine, sweat a little, and the evil spirit will come out, and he will be cured soon.
.
After Cheng Cailiang left, Zhang Zhengqing arranged for someone to get some medicine and decoct it, and soon the medicine was delivered to the ward.
Lewis frowned as he looked at the thick soup in front of him.
"Mr. Lewis, why don't you add some sugar to it?"
Yu Bai, who had just arrived, said from the side.
Chinese medicine is indeed unpleasant to drink. Yu Bai knows this very well. It is better if it is hot, but it may be even harder to swallow if it is cold.
"OK."
Louis nodded.
Yu Bai asked the nurse to add some sugar to the soup, and then sent it to Lewis again.
Lewis stared at the soup, still frowning, not knowing how to swallow it.
"Close your eyes, take a breath, and drink it all in one gulp,"
The nurse on the side reminded: "We drink Chinese medicine the same way. We hold our breath and drink it in one breath. If we drink it separately, it will be even harder to drink."
"One breath?"
Louis was confused by what the nurse said.
It’s not that he doesn’t understand Chinese at all, it’s just that he doesn’t speak it well. He can still understand simple words, but the meaning of some words is hard to understand.
People say that English is difficult to learn, but Chinese is actually even more difficult to learn because it is broad and profound.
Just saying this in one breath, Louis didn’t know what it meant.
If the nurse replies now, that's what she means.
What exactly does it mean?
That’s what it means.
Why are you so unhappy?
If you don’t mean it, you don’t mean it.
You are so boring
...
Please tell me, what are the meanings here?
It can definitely make people faint.
Yu Bai explained it to Louis in German. Louis closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly put the soup to his mouth.
Just after taking a small sip, Louis couldn't help but started to vomit.
The decoction is inherently unpalatable, and even some Chinese people really can't drink it. There are many crooked nuts, even those who don't discriminate against Chinese medicine, because they are not used to it, and most of them can't drink it.
In addition, Yu Bai also asked to add some sugar, but Louis kept hesitating. The soup was already a bit cold now. If sugar is added after it is cool, the taste will actually be more unbearable.
Louis didn't take a sip of the soup. Not only did he vomit it all, but the rest of the soup also fell to the ground, on the floor, and on the sheets.
The nurse hurriedly helped Louis clean up, and the beautiful assistant responsible for taking care of Louis also hurriedly helped.
After a while of fussing, the ward was tidied up, new sheets and quilts were put on, and Louis also changed into a new hospital gown.
"It's completely unpalatable. It tastes terrible."
Lewis complained to Zhang Zhengqing.
"Mr. Lewis, please rest first and I will think of a solution."
Zhang Zhengqing hurriedly apologized to Lewis.
Louis' attitude is actually pretty good.
At Yanjing Hospital, Zhang Zhengqing also came into contact with many Waiguoren, some of which were quite arrogant. For the doctors at Yanjing Hospital, the leaders were not easy to serve, and Waiguoren was even more difficult to serve.
In front of the leader, you can at best be cautious and keep silent when being scolded, but Wai Guoren can really make people angry sometimes.
When Cheng Cailiang came back from internal medicine, he no longer considered it. It was a very simple disease. To be precise, it was a very standard topic in the textbook, and there was almost no controversy.
But only about an hour later, a doctor came in: "Director Cheng, this is the number from Director Zhang of the Department of Internal Medicine. He said he is calling for you."
Cheng Cailiang frowned: "Zhang Zhengqing?"
"yes."
"Turn in."
Cheng Cailiang was a little confused. Did something unexpected happen?
It shouldn’t be. For very clear symptoms, one dose of half and half Guizhi Ephedra decoction will definitely be effective. If this was all wrong, he would no longer be the director of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
The call was transferred to Cheng Cailiang's office outside, and Cheng Cailiang reached out to pick it up.
"Director Zhang."
"Director Cheng, the patient over there couldn't take the traditional Chinese medicine and vomited after just one mouthful. The ward was cleaned up for a long time."
Zhang Zhengqing told Cheng Cailiang the situation and asked: "Director Cheng, is there any other way?"
"Can't you take the medicine?"
Cheng Cailiang pondered slightly: "This is difficult to handle. As the saying goes, a good woman can't make a meal without rice. The medicine is absolutely fine, but if the patient can't take the medicine, there is nothing I can do."
"What about acupuncture or other methods?"
Zhang Zhengqing said politely: "Director Cheng, you also know that the patient is a foreign guest and a senior executive of Siemens. There have been many people there asking for help during this period. If this disease does not get better, we will be under great pressure."
