Chinese medicine: from rural hospitals to top three hospitals in Kyoto

In the emergency department, department director Gan Xinping is looking at the CT scan taken by the patient.

"Fracture of the upper orbit of the right eye, injuries to the eyeball and optic nerve, and damage to the oculomotor nerve..."

Gan Xinping said: "Notify the ophthalmology department."

Soon, Zeng Yandong, deputy director and chief physician of the Department of Ophthalmology, arrived at the emergency department.

"This situation requires multiple surgeries and the implantation of an intraocular lens."

Zeng Yandong checked the patient's condition and said to Gan Xinping.

"Have the patient's family arrived?" Gan Xinping asked the doctor next to him.

"arrive."

The attending doctor on the side said: "The patient's lover has just arrived and is accompanying the patient. The traffic police have also issued responsibilities. The battery car is fully responsible."

Motor vehicles are traveling normally, while battery vehicles are traveling in the opposite direction.

At this time, the reason why the attending doctor told Gan Xinping and Zeng Yandong to classify the accident was precisely because the pressure on the patients was different in different situations.

If the motor vehicle is fully responsible, then all the patient's treatment expenses will be covered and the motor vehicle will be insured. Relatively speaking, the hospital can consider the patient's condition as appropriate without considering the patient's financial conditions.

If the battery car is solely responsible, then the patient’s financial conditions must be considered.

But now the battery car is solely responsible for the accident, so all treatment costs need to be borne by the patient, not to mention the loss of the motor vehicle.

Many battery car drivers do not abide by traffic rules. In order to gain time, they run red lights, drive in the wrong direction, and change lanes at will. There are various situations.

It's okay if nothing happens, but if something happens, it will be a big headache.

In recent years, even the traffic police have become more and more fair in determining responsibility. If the responsibility is clear, they will not arbitrarily favor battery vehicles.

“Let’s communicate with the patient’s family first.”

Gan Xinping ordered.

"Okay, Director Gan."

After a while, the attending doctor came back.

"Director Gan, the patient's family does not agree to surgical treatment."

"Don't agree with surgical treatment?" Gan Xinping frowned: "How did you communicate?"

“The patient’s family members understood the postoperative effects and also asked about the cost of the operation,” the attending doctor said.

They are all veteran doctors, and they always go straight to the point when they talk.

Gan Xinping knew it as soon as he heard it.

The patient's family background is poor, and postoperative problems must also be considered.

In the patient's case, the postoperative vision will be affected to some extent, which is mainly a matter of probability.

Therefore, patients and their families must consider conservative treatment first.

“In this case, conservative treatment is very difficult.”

Zeng Yandong pondered for a moment and said: "The eyeball and optic nerve are contusioned, and the oculomotor nerve is damaged. If surgery is not performed, there is a high probability that the right eye will be blind."

Zeng Yandong asked the attending doctor who was responsible for communication just now: "You didn't tell the patient the consequences."

"I told you."

The attending doctor said: "After multiple surgeries and various treatments, the cost is conservatively estimated to be in the hundreds of thousands. For the patient, he may prefer to give up his right eye."

"Giving up doesn't mean it costs nothing." Zeng Yandong said.

"But the patient's family still hopes for conservative treatment to see the effect." The attending doctor said.

"With conservative treatment..."

Zeng Yandong said: "Call Director Guan and see if Director Guan can do anything."

"Is the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine suitable for this situation?" Gan Xinping asked.

"The main causes are the patient's eyeballs, optic nerve contusion and oculomotor nerve damage. If surgery is not performed, we will see if traditional Chinese medicine can help with this aspect of recovery."

Zeng Yandong said: "I'm actually not very sure. I personally recommend surgical treatment."

"Go and call the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine and ask Director Guan to come over."

Gan Xinping said to the attending doctor next to him.

About ten minutes later, two doctors came from the emergency department.

"Director Gan."

Liu Xi greeted Gan Xinping as soon as he entered the door.

"Xiao Liu is here."

Gan Xinping smiled and said, "Isn't Director Guan here?"

Liu Xi is a pillar in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine and is somewhat famous in the entire hospital. Many department directors also know Liu Xi.

Moreover, Liu Xi came to the emergency department for consultation on behalf of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine more than once.

Guan Xiaoyue was not here, so Liu Xi was asked to come over from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department.

Liu Xi happened to be on duty in the duty room today, and there were no outpatient arrangements.

Of course, Chen Yang also came with Liu Xi.

"Director Zeng."

Liu Xi also said hello to Zeng Yandong, and then introduced to the two people: "This is Dr. Chen Yangchen, a training doctor from Jialin County Hospital."

If they are other trainees or interns, Liu Xi doesn't need to introduce them at all, they are just doing odd jobs.

However, Liu Xi recognized Chen Yang's level and came for consultation. Chen Yang could help, so Liu Xi introduced him.

Who would have thought that after Liu Xi's introduction, Gan Xinping would stare at Chen Yang: "Your name is Chen Yang?"

"Yeah." Chen Yang nodded.

"Doctor from Jialin County Hospital?" Gan Xinping asked again.

"Yeah." Chen Yang nodded again.

"Two or three months ago, there was a serious car accident on the highway. Were you at the scene?" Gan Xinping asked.

"Yeah." Chen Yang nodded.

"It's really you."

Gan Xinping was so surprised.

Chen Yang's name sounded familiar to him just now, but he didn't expect it to be the young doctor at the scene of the car accident last year.

In fact, not many people at the scene knew Chen Yang's name. The doctor who followed the car at that time only knew Zhong Fei and did not know Chen Yang.

But Guan Xiaoyue is Chen Yang's senior sister. She heard about it from Wu Yaolin, so she knew that Chen Yang was at the scene.

Gan Xinping also heard about Chen Yang from Guan Xiaoyue.

There were many injured people sent to Fenghai Central Hospital at that time, and Gan Xinping still vividly remembers the situation at that time.

The injured at that time were in various situations, including simple external trauma, injuries to bones, and severe bleeding.

Chen Yang saved many people through acupuncture to stop bleeding, bone correction, and the ointment he brought with him. The most important thing is that the treatment effect is very good.

There were so many patients, such a big accident, and it had only been a few months. How could Gan Xinping forget it.

But Gan Xinping didn't expect that the young doctor at the scene would actually come to their hospital.

"I have heard of Dr. Chen's name a long time ago."

Gan Xinping smiled and said to Liu Xi, "Director Guan is really good at getting Dr. Chen to your Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine."

Guan Xiaoyue knew Chen Yang, and Chen Yang was now studying in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department of their hospital. Wasn't it Guan Xiaoyue who got him?

In Gan Xinping's view, Guan Xiaoyue probably knew about Chen Yang through what happened last time, and then found out about the hospital where Chen Yang was located and brought Chen Yang over.

In name, it's for further study, but in fact, it's just to recruit people.

Liu Xi: "......"

For a moment, Liu Xi was confused.

Judging from Gan Xinping's appearance and attitude towards Chen Yang, it is true that he has heard of Chen Yang for a long time and admires him very much.

Isn't Chen Yang a doctor at Jialin County Hospital? He is so famous, why has he never heard of him before?
