A survey showed that 55% of doctors said that it is common to use flying knives to remove acupuncture points, and nearly 30% of doctors said that they had used acupuncture points themselves.
Flying knife actually had an elegant term called consultation.
Those who can be invited to participate in cross-hospital consultations are famous doctors.
At the same time, the identities of patients who can be consulted by famous doctors are also extraordinary.
If a doctor wants to go out for consultation, he first needs to be approved by the hospital.
Generally, the hospital will not let anyone below the attending doctor do so because they are not qualified enough.
Therefore, the fact that doctors can go out to participate in consultations is also a great recognition of their professional abilities.
Of course, driven by profit, many doctors participate in "consultations" without the knowledge of the hospital, and the consultation fees paid are settled privately in cash between doctors and patients.
The consultation has also become a "flying knife and acupuncture point" with a derogatory taste.
The term "acupoint walking" first described "actors going out to perform privately in order to make extra money." Later, this term was extended to other professions, including teachers, lawyers, and doctors.
Among them, doctors' "acupoint visits" have received the most attention and controversy. Doctors use their spare time to provide medical services in places other than the hospital where they work, and receive compensation for their labor. This is not in line with the image of doctors as "angels in white" and selfless dedication.
However, "acupoint transplantation" cannot be prohibited. The four interest groups behind it - patients, acupuncture doctors, the medical institutions where the acupoint doctors work, and the medical institutions that use acupoints - can all benefit from it.
The distribution of medical and health resources in China is extremely uneven.
Taking Tianhua as an example, if you want hospitalization, you have to wait in line for several months.
If patients from other cities go to Baiyun for medical treatment, the cost of transportation, food, accommodation, and time off from work will be huge, and many families will find it difficult to pay.
There is an air-raid shelter near Tianhua Hospital. Because the price is relatively cheap, many parents live there with their children for more than half a year for medical treatment.
If a doctor can go to the local area to diagnose and treat difficult and complicated diseases, it will undoubtedly be very popular with patients.
To be precise, the surgery Zhao Yuan participated in this time should be a "consultation."
Qiao Yuanchun contacted Zhao Yuan through the hospital, and the final consultation fee will also be settled with Tianhua.
This trip was obviously extremely valuable to Zhao Yuan.
Qiao Yuanchun's invitation to Zhao Yuan through formal channels this time can well make up for Zhao Yuan's lack of qualifications.
Although Zhao Yuan has now been recognized by everyone at Tianhua Hospital, in the outside world, no one knows who he is.
The only thing on his resume that stands out is the “Youth Championship Gold Award”.
Although Zhao Yuan helped Zhao Yipeng successfully complete the operation before, which caused a certain impact in society, it had no impact in the medical circle.
Mainly because Reina is a prefecture-level city.
At that time, everyone's attention was focused on flood fighting and disaster relief. Zhao Yuan's difficult surgery under special conditions was diluted by other news.
If you want to build a reputation in the medical community, cross-hospital and cross-provincial consultations are important channels.
Jiang Qiang still attached great importance to this consultation.
He was even more excited than Zhao Yuan.
It's like seeing your son getting married.
Jiang Qiang then explained some of his "consultation" experiences to Zhao Yuan.
“When you go there, you first need to understand the hospital’s equipment. Is the endoscopic examination clear, high-definition, 4k or 3D?
Are there any electric coagulation hooks, electric shovels, or electric clippers?
Are there any extended endoscopic instruments?
Is the ultrasonic scalpel made in China or imported?
What brand is the stapler?
Has the doctor who set up the surgery performed similar surgeries before? According to the level of the Dian Provincial People's Hospital, the equipment and team are not too bad."
“I had performed a heart valve surgery before, and my partner had very little experience, so I had to do most of the work myself.
My habit is to use 3-0 eight-needle absorbable sutures for suturing. The needle holes are fine, and single needles and single threads are used. There is no need to thread the needle, and the suture is very fast.
However, due to consumable control, the local hospital did not purchase this kind of needle and thread, which delayed a lot of time."
"But in the end I performed the operation perfectly..."
“Some hospital equipment nurses lack experience in endoscopic surgery and cannot make equipment bags or sew gauze strips. Before the operation begins, I often teach them how to make homemade equipment bags with sterile towels and how to sew gauze strips.
, fortunately, they are ingenious and can get it done with just a few clicks.
Moreover, teaching them things on the operating table has enhanced their relationship, so that they can ask for WeChat messages off the operating table..."
Sharing experience is false, bragging is true.
Zhao Yuan was smiling and listened humbly.
He cooperated in a friendly manner and expressed sincere admiration from time to time: "Director Jiang, you are so experienced!"
…
In the evening, Zhao Yuan got on a flight to Yunnan Province.
The flight ticket was issued by the inviting party, and the hospital booked business class for Zhao Yuan.
After Zhao Yuan took his seat, he observed the small business class cabin and found that there were actually two people traveling together.
Today is Friday.
Many doctors fly back and forth frequently on Fridays.
I have been in the medical circle for a long time, and every weekend, I always meet a few acquaintances at several events.
Either surgery or a meeting.
I heard something like this before. The son of a deputy director outside the liver and gallbladder department talked about a partner. The prerequisite for marriage was to buy a fully paid house in Baiyun.
After the deputy director reports to the hospital, he performs at least two operations every day from Monday to Friday; on weekends, he flies to two to three cities and performs another 6 to 10 operations.
He was flying knives for several years, so much so that the flight attendants on several routes knew him.
Business class is so comfortable!
The space is large, the chairs are soft, and it's very comfortable to lie down on.
The stewardess is beautiful and very gentle.
Zhao Yuan was not idle on the plane, taking the information and studying it for a while.
Not far away, a middle-aged man in his forties was traveling with him, and he looked at Zhao Yuan from time to time.
He saw that Zhao Yuan should be a doctor.
However, judging from Zhao Yuan's age, he should be just a resident doctor.
When a resident doctor goes on a business trip, how can he fly business class!
Zhao Yuan got off the plane and turned on his mobile phone. Not long after, a call came through.
There was a woman on the phone who introduced herself as a doctor from Qiao Yuanchun's team.
Zhao Yuan only brought a small trolley suitcase and did not need to pick up his luggage. When he came to the entrance of the passage, he saw a tall, delicate-looking woman waving to him.
She held a sign in her hand that read "Dian Provincial People's Hospital".
Zhao Yuan smiled and walked towards the woman.
"Hello, Dr. Zhao!" The woman took the initiative to grab the suitcase from Zhao Yuan.
Zhao Yuan quickly refused, "No! I'll do it myself!"
The woman smiled and said, "Should we go to the hotel first or the hospital?"
Zhao Yuandao: "Go to the hospital! The patient's condition is critical and time waits for no one!"
The colleague sitting next to him was not too far away from Zhao Yuan, and his expression was a little stiff when he heard the conversation between the two.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yuan not only "took acupoints", but was also invited by a provincial hospital!
His trip was to a prefecture-level city in Yunnan Province for surgery.
Unsurprisingly, the level of surgery is higher than mine!
