Chapter 673 Wang Liwen’s Thoughts



Chapter 673 Wang Liwen’s Thoughts

"Director Wang." Yin Chengbo greeted Wang Liwen.

Wang Liwen had just come to work in the morning and asked Yin Chengbo about the patient's condition: "How is Xu Gaofeng doing?"

"Director Wang, I was watching it all night last night."

Yin Chengbo said: "The patient still had chills and fever during the day and the first half of the night yesterday, but at around 38.6 pm his temperature dropped a lot compared to the previous two days to degrees Celsius."

In the past few nights, the patient's body temperature has been at least 39 degrees Celsius after o'clock in the evening. Although he still had a fever last night, his condition had obviously improved.

"By the second half of the night, the patient no longer had chills. When I was making rounds in the morning, I could feel that the patient's breathing had become noticeably smoother," Yin Chengbo continued.

When he spoke, Yin Chengbo's tone was full of surprise.

The patient just took one dose of medicine yesterday, but I didn’t expect it to have such obvious effects. It’s incredible.

You know, they also used various treatments in the past few days, but the effects were almost not obvious.

Previously, Wang Liwen had suggested asking Chen Yang to come over and take a look. At that time, Yin Chengbo was not very optimistic. If it were not for the fact that Chen Yang was indeed the patient's first rescue doctor, and Yin Chengbo also thought that perhaps Chen Yang could give some suggestions, he would have persuaded Wang Liwen.

After all, their provincial hospital is one of the top three hospitals in Shanzhou Province, and its medical level is unquestionable.

Although it is generally recognized that the Affiliated Hospital of Provincial Medical University is the top-ranked hospital in Shanzhou Province, the Provincial Hospital itself does not recognize this. They do not think they are worse than the Affiliated Hospital of Medical University.

However, after Chen Yang came yesterday, the patient's condition improved last night. This effect was so unbelievable that Yin Chengbo couldn't believe it.

Wang Liwen didn't say anything, but went straight to the ward.

In the ward, Xu Gaofeng was sitting on the bed eating breakfast. When he saw Wang Liwen coming in, Xu Gaofeng hurriedly greeted him: "Director Wang, Doctor Yin."

"porridge?"

Wang Liwen took a look at Xu Gaofeng's breakfast and said with a smile, "Can you eat today?"

"Doctor Yin just checked on him and he said he was a little hungry and wanted to eat." Xu Gaofeng's wife said with a smile.

Given Xu Gaofeng's situation, he could have actually been eating liquid food a long time ago, but in the past few days, Xu Gaofeng had no appetite at all and only ate a little every day. This was the first time he took the initiative to want to eat.

Moreover, Wang Liwen could clearly see that when Xu Gaofeng sat up straight to eat, his chest tightness and shortness of breath disappeared, except that he still coughed occasionally.

Wang Liwen brought a stethoscope and helped Xu Gaofeng with the examination, and then he and Yin Chengbo left the ward.

As they walked, Wang Liwen said, "From the current examination results, the patient's lung rales have significantly decreased, and the blood oxygen saturation has remained at a relatively stable level. All vital signs have improved. This is enough to prove that Chen Yang's treatment plan is accurate and effective."

Wang Liwen looked serious, with a hint of relief in his eyes.

Yin Chengbo nodded slightly, recalling the patient's previous condition, and couldn't help but sigh: "Yes, we have tried a variety of conventional treatments before, including the combined use of antibiotics and antiviral drugs, as well as some auxiliary respiratory support treatments, but the condition has never been effectively controlled. I didn't expect that the Chinese medicine prescribed by Chen Yang would have such an immediate effect."

Yin Chengbo had a hint of admiration on his face. Chen Yang was about the same age as him, but the two people's levels were very different.

The chief resident of a large department is naturally the best among doctors of the same age in the department. It is basically a training stage for excellent doctors to become attending physicians. Once you have served as chief resident, the title of attending physician is basically set in stone.

Wang Liwen went on to say: "Chinese medicine emphasizes the treatment based on syndrome differentiation. The same disease may manifest itself in different syndromes in different patients, and the medications used are naturally very different. Chen Yang can accurately grasp the patient's condition and prescribe a suitable prescription based on the patient's symptoms and signs, combined with tongue and pulse conditions and other comprehensive factors. This is not something that ordinary people can do."

Wang Liwen's tone was full of appreciation.

When Wang Liwen watched Chen Yang’s rescue video before, he could tell that Chen Yang’s skills were extraordinary. Chen Yang did not disappoint him.

Back in the office, Wang Liwen sat on a chair and after thinking for a moment, he said to Yin Chengbo: "Go contact Chen Yang and ask in detail about the dosage and course of subsequent medication, as well as what else needs to be paid attention to in terms of diet and care. Although the patient's condition has improved significantly, he has not fully recovered, and subsequent treatment is still critical."

Yin Chengbo responded and turned to make a phone call. At this time, Wang Liwen added: "After the patient is completely cured and discharged from the hospital, I plan to suggest inviting Chen Yang to the hospital to hold an academic lecture and let him share his experience and insights from this treatment. This is a rare learning opportunity for the doctors in our hospital, and it will also help us better apply the combination of Chinese and Western medicine to clinical treatment. What do you think?"

Yin Chengbo was a little surprised: "Director Wang, this... is it appropriate? After all, he is not a doctor in our hospital, and he is so young, some old doctors may not be willing to listen to him."

"Especially the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine."

Yin Chengbo did not expect Wang Liwen to have this idea. You know, this time they did not invite the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of their hospital for consultation. On the one hand, Wang Liwen was very familiar with the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of the Provincial Hospital. On the other hand, Wang Liwen wanted to invite Chen Yang from the beginning, so he had a preconceived idea.

It is naturally a good thing that the patient's condition is improving now, but it would be inappropriate to invite Chen Yang to give an academic lecture. If the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine finds out, they will definitely have objections, right?

Wang Liwen smiled and patiently explained: "Medicine is an evolving discipline. Regardless of age and experience, as long as one has real skills and knowledge, it is worth learning from. Chen Yang has proven his medical skills with actual results this time. We cannot ignore his ability just because he is young. Through this exchange, we can broaden our treatment ideas and improve the overall medical level of the hospital. Why not do it?"

Wang Liwen looked at Yin Chengbo and said, "I know what you mean. If the people in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine are really capable, let them show their abilities. If they are not capable, just shut up. I am already the director of the emergency department. Am I still afraid of offending people?"

Wang Liwen snorted as he said this: "Whoever has objections, who will replace me?"

The director of the emergency department has the confidence to do so. After all, there are not many doctors who can take on this position. Specialist doctors are unwilling to do so, and those who are willing are not of sufficient quality.

People say that the emergency department is dirty and tiring, and it is not easy to achieve results. People who can serve as directors of large emergency departments in large hospitals are generally tough and capable.

Wang Liwen is just like this. Is he afraid of offending people?

If he was afraid of offending people, he would have jumped out long ago.
