From small clinic to medical empire

Chapter 166

The store manager was sent to the hospital. Zhang Zifan told everyone that if symptoms of nausea and vomiting occur, they must seek medical treatment in time.

Don't believe in any folk remedies and local methods, otherwise it will not only delay the disease, but may also cause secondary damage.

Zhang Zifan specially warned everyone for a reason. The night before yesterday, the emergency department of Haoran Hospital treated a little girl suffering from head lice.

It is said to be "cure" rather than "treatment", not because head lice are so harmful.

It was the child's grandmother who believed in folk remedies, thinking that the reason for head lice was that the hair was not washed cleanly, and that all the dirt on the hair could be washed away with gasoline.

This grandma probably has a more sincere heart. Others may not have a big problem dipping a small amount of gasoline in their hair, but she just uses gasoline as a shampoo for her children.

The results were, of course, dire.

Although the child's life was not in danger, all of his hair could not be kept.

Washing your hair with gasoline to cure head lice is almost as absurd as drinking disinfectant to cure viruses. It happens around us every day, but ordinary people don't practice medicine and have relatively little contact with it.

To give the simplest example, fishbone gets stuck in the throat, and the folk remedy of drinking vinegar is said to soften the fish bones.

That's a widely circulated rumor.

Anyone with a little knowledge of chemistry knows that acetic acid is an organic acid, and all organic acids are weak acids.

It is absolutely impossible to use the few tenths of a second that the vinegar slides down the throat to soften the fish bones.

Moreover, the irritation of acetic acid may cause the contraction of the throat muscles, which will increase the penetration depth of the fishbone.

Some large fish bones may even pierce the esophagus, endangering life.

However, this kind of ironic folk remedies have tenacious vitality.

The reason is very simple, 99% of the fishbone stuck in the throat can eventually slide into the esophagus and stomach without causing harm.

Use the folk recipe of swallowing vinegar to increase this ratio to 98%, but as long as you are not the unlucky 2%, you will feel that your behavior of drinking vinegar has an effect.

Not only drinking vinegar to remove fish bones, but also many other folk remedies.

Zhang Zifan has been practicing medicine for so many years, and he has heard from patients that there are at least a dozen ways to treat toothache.

Everything from sipping baijiu to biting a slice of American ginseng.

The remedies for treating high blood pressure are even more bizarre.

The funniest thing is that once, Zhang Zifan received an elderly tooth extraction patient who claimed to be taking high blood pressure drugs for a long time.

As a result, the nurse took a test, and the systolic blood pressure was in the early 200s, and the diastolic blood pressure was close to 100.

Zhang Zifan was so frightened that he immediately asked the old lady who might burst a cerebral blood vessel at any time to get off the dental chair.

It turned out that her so-called high blood pressure medicine was passed down by word of mouth from the old people in the countryside. She regarded Sanqi powder as a panacea for high blood pressure!
What's ridiculous and annoying is that the fashionablely dressed daughter next to the old lady scolded the old man.

How can you listen to these local prescriptions!What is the use of a country house?

Hearing this, Zhang Zifan thought he had met a sensible person.

However, her next sentence let people know what it means that like a mother, like a daughter.

The daughter changed the subject and said, these local herbs are all deceptive, why don't you eat the deep-sea fish oil I bought for you from the United States?
If you don't take such high-end medicine, how can you control your blood pressure?

Hearing the conversation between mother and daughter, Zhang Zifan's expression at that time was like this:

black question mark.jpg
Your deep-sea fish oil is not as good as your mother’s Sanqi powder, at least Sanqi powder is cheaper, isn’t it?
In fact, anti-intellectual pseudoscience has never been a matter of local and foreign.

There are too many "remedies" under the banner of traditional Chinese medicine.

However, pseudoscience with foreign names such as "biological wall breaking", "nanotechnology", and "God crushes dogs" is also like a crucian carp crossing the river.

If ordinary people do not have enough professional knowledge and lack of ability to distinguish, then trusting specialists and regular hospitals is the simplest and most affordable way of health care.

It's a pity that in society, bad money drives out good money, and science popularization workers can't compete with marketing accounts that pretend to be ghosts. This is also a common thing.

It was because of so many lessons that Zhang Zifan had to emphasize again and again that everyone must go to a regular hospital for examination and treatment.

Of course, Haoran Hospital is a hospital at the doorstep of ordinary people, with strong technical strength and trustworthy...

……

After the commercial was finished, Zhang Zifan ran out with Yang Tingting who kept brushing her teeth.

"Speaking of which, why is there a toothbrush in your makeup bag?"

"Don't you have a magnifying glass in your briefcase? As a stomatologist... the junior sister of the stomatologist, is it wrong for me to take care of my teeth?"

Faced with Yang Tingting's direct questioning, Zhang Zifan couldn't say no.

The Japanese food feast was ruined, so Zhang Zifan suggested to eat hot pot.

In fact, Zhang Zifan knows that Sichuan girl Yang Tingting has always loved spicy hot pot.

"But..." Yang Tingting thought of a pimple that she just had.

"It's nothing to worry about, hot pot is a very healthy food."

Zhang Zifan said solemnly, "Didn't the Ruijin Hospital of Shanghai have a study some time ago? Shabu-shabu is the healthiest food, and it is negatively correlated with diabetes, high blood pressure, and body mass index.

This was followed by spicy food, which was negatively correlated with diabetes and body mass index, and only slightly positively correlated with high blood pressure.

Spicy hot pot has two servings of health at the same time, which is perfect! "

"Huh? There are such things, so what about sweets and fried foods?" Yang Tingting felt that she had discovered the treasure thesis, and she would no longer have the psychological burden to eat spicy hot pot in the future.

"Sweets are okay, fried foods are extremely unhealthy, with strong positive correlations for all disease indicators!"

Zhang Zifan said with a smile, "Their study is just a correlation study, not a causal study, but it can also be used as a reference. Well, now our Miss Yang can eat spicy hot pot without psychological burden?"

"Hey, I knew Sichuan hot pot was so healthy. What kind of Japanese food should I eat? It's as light as water!" Yang Tingting's eyes lit up.

……

After enjoying a delicious meal, Zhang Zifan returned to the hut.

Although he is already a wealthy and successful person, Zhang Zifan has not yet bought a house.

Fortunately, the yard attached to the row house was big enough, and Zhang Zifan's Hummer was parked next to the Porsche.

In fact, as a system item, this Hummer can also be included in the system space.

However, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Zhang Zifan seldom did this, even if he brought it back to Donghai Province, he would hire a substitute driver.

In the living room, Zhang Zifan saw Liu Xiaonan who was crouching on the sofa with potato chips, and Sister Lu who was playing mahjong with her mobile phone.

Today is the weekend, Liu Xiaonan doesn't have to live on campus, and because of this, she has time to learn how to drive.

Medical students are still relatively busy, and they don't have so much extravagant free time during non-weekends.

As the monitor of the elite class "He Boguang Class", Liu Xiaonan is now considered a man of the school, but at this moment, she looks like a lazy house girl.

Fluffy hair, floral dress.

While chewing potato chips, Liu Xiaonan shook his head and kicked his slippers, and at the same time said vaguely: "Choose A, how stupid, starfish is a radially symmetrical animal, how could it have a brain!"

It turned out that there was a quiz show on TV.

"Listen to the question: Which of the following animals has no brains?"

"A: Starfish, B: Strange Shrimp, C: Octopus, D: Special"

"It's not right for me to choose D special!"

"Are you sure? Do you need to think again?"

"Don't think about it. If you don't have a clue, you must have no brains. This is a sub-question!"

"Unfortunately, the answer is wrong!"

……

"Idiot, it's so unbelievable that it's a deuterostome, a jawed bony fish, a synapsid, a primate, a superorder, a narrow nose, a sub-nose, and a sub-narynose. Of course it has a brain!"

When the host announced the answer, Liu Xiaonan changed the channel with a bored face. After correcting more than 50 questions, she felt very empty. Perhaps only a SpongeBob SquarePants can soothe her soul.

"Xiao Nan, do you have any recommendations for introductory books on biology? I want to learn something about it."

It was only then that Liu Xiaonan noticed Zhang Zifan who opened the door and came in, quickly swallowed the potato chips in his mouth, and said, "Brother Zhang, you are so busy with clinical work, so just leave the knowledge of biology to me, don't waste your time !"

Zhang Zifan shook his head and said: "Although it is said that medicine is a multidisciplinary field, the more you study it, the more you feel that the human body is a kind of living organism after all, and medicine is a derivative of biology after all, so I want to learn it briefly. , so as to expand ideas for my own research. And..."

"And I don't want to be called an idiot by some little girl!" Zhang Zifan said with a smile.

Liu Xiaonan thought that Brother Zhang must have seen what he said just now that the TV guest was an idiot, so he immediately explained.

The little black fat man who answered the question is an idiot, and the tall and handsome brother Zhang is not an idiot...

……

Having a joke with the little girl, Zhang Zifan got a small book list.

Well, a small book list.

The books inside are about one meter thick.

Sighing, Zhang Zifan went upstairs.

At this moment, Zhang Zifan's cell phone rang suddenly.

What is displayed on the screen is an unfamiliar number, but it does not start with 9. It is not sure if it is a harassing call.

Zhang Zifan picked it up casually.

"Coach Zhang, oh no, Dean Zhang, I am your patient Ma Fusheng, old horse!"

A loud voice sounded on the phone.
