A doctor who travels through two eras

"How is it, are your clothes warm?"

Jin Caifeng asked proudly while arranging clothes for her husband.

Lin Kucan straightened his collar, looked at his new blue cotton-padded jacket and said happily:

"Warm, of course it is warm. It looks like an ordinary cotton coat on the outside, but the inner layer is made of mink fur. Is there anything warmer than this? Haha."

"That's right. After all, our youngest son is the most capable. We can enjoy our retirement. But this dress is too precious. It would be better if we could make a set for the eldest and second sons."

Jin Caifeng also has such a cotton coat. Lin Sanqi said that she bought it from Inner Mongolia.

In fact, he bought these cotton coats and trousers online from Taobao, and they were custom-made. The style of the clothes was old-fashioned, similar to the Zhongshan suit. The clothes had four pockets, and even the fabric was a dark blue retro color.

Lin Sanqi only prepared three sets, one for each of his parents and one for himself, and he did not prepare any for his brothers and nephews and nieces.

Lin Kucan didn't care:

"The brothers have separated, why should the younger brother-in-law buy clothes for his brother and sister-in-law? This cotton-padded jacket alone probably costs dozens of dollars. It doesn't make sense to let an unmarried younger brother pay for it, so you better stay out of it."

In fact, the old man knew clearly in his mind that the youngest son was on guard against the second son's family.

After all, this kind of cotton-padded jacket is already cheating. Although mink fur is comfortable and warm to wear, is it something that working people can wear?

If there is any disturbance one day, and the second son's wife takes the mink coat to report it, Lin Sanqi will definitely be in trouble, so he must never be a goody-goody.

If the second brother hadn't gotten pregnant before marriage, Pei Xuehua would definitely not have caught the eye of Dr. Lin and would never have been able to enter the Lin family.

Jin Caifeng was carrying a basket and preparing to go out. It was New Year's Day, and no matter how difficult it was, she had to go to the street to buy some New Year's goods, otherwise there would not be a sense of atmosphere.

Lin Kucan also went out wearing a hat, and met his colleague Wu Xinhou at the gate of the hospital.

"Old Lin, good morning. It's strange that there's no snow this year. It's just windy."

Lin Kucan looked up at the sky and asked in a low voice: "How is the situation in your hometown? Is it snowing?"

Wu Xinhou's hometown is Dongshan Province, and there is a folk song in his hometown that goes like this.

"Everyone says that Yimeng Mountain is beautiful~~The scenery on Yimeng Mountain is beautiful~~The green mountains and green waters are so beautiful~~The wind blows the grass low and you can see cattle and sheep~~The sorghum is red and the bean flowers are fragrant~~The full baskets of millet are piled up in the granary~~"

It is not difficult to see from the lyrics that this is a great place with rich resources and beautiful scenery.

Wu Xinhou sighed: "It didn't snow in my hometown either, but I sent all the 10 kilograms of rice issued by the company back to my hometown, and also collected 30 kilograms of food coupons."

Lin Kucan knew that Wu Xinhou still had his parents and brothers in his hometown, so he kindly asked:

"Do you have enough food coupons? If not, I have some."

Those who are willing to lend food and food coupons these days are definitely the best of the good people. Only an honest person like Lin Kucan would be willing to lend.

"No, no, you also need to send food coupons back home. It's not easy for everyone. Let's go. Don't be late for work."

Lin Kucan thought that his son had given 1000 kilograms of food coupons to his grandparents while he was on a business trip, so he felt embarrassed to spend the remaining or kilograms of food coupons in his hand.

"Oh my god, I can't beat my son~~~"

Lin Sanqi was also about to show up at the hospital. Along the way, people kept greeting him:

"Xiao Lin, it's time to go to work..."

"Comrade Lin Sanqi, good morning..."

"Hey, Xiaoqi, have you eaten yet? If you haven't eaten, I have two steamed buns here..."

Lin Sanqi was still a little confused. Why were the people in the hospital so warm and friendly to him today?
In fact, there are no secrets in the hospital. The news that the New Year's goods distributed before were purchased by Lin Sanqi has spread everywhere. Now who in the hospital doesn't remember his kindness?
Not to mention letting him be a small section chief of a branch, no one would object even if he became the dean of a branch.

When I passed by the outpatient clinic, the head of the logistics department was standing on the escalator hanging lanterns, preparing to welcome the Spring Festival.

Seeing the old man climbing so high, Lin Sanqi kindly reminded him:
"Uncle Quan, at your age, do you still want to hang lanterns yourself? Why don't you come down and I'll do it for you? It's dangerous just watching."

Section Chief Quan chuckled and was still carefully hanging the hook:
"There is no one idle in our logistics department today. Everyone is mobilized to hang lanterns, post couplets, or clean up. No one is free. Besides, it's just hanging lanterns. Your uncle Quan is not so old that he can't climb the escalator."

At this time, a middle-aged doctor passing by joked:

"Lao Quan is famous for his speed in climbing escalators. It is said that he developed this skill when he was spying on widows in the village. His speed is as fast as a flying monkey."

Hehe, everyone passing by on the way to work chuckled. Now that they have food and drinks, every employee is in a good mood.

Section Chief Quan also cursed on the escalator: "You are such a good old Jin, you said bad things about me behind my back, and when the cabbage is distributed next year, it will all be rotten leaves for you, humph."

When Section Chief Quan was climbing the escalator, there was actually a female employee helping him from below.

Just at this moment, someone called her, "Xiao Juan'er, come here for a moment. I need to get something."

"Okay, I'll be right there."

This little Juan'er was also a silly girl. When she heard someone call her, she turned around and walked back, forgetting that she was holding a ladder and there was someone on the ladder.

Normally, it would be fine if there was no one to hold the ladder, but it was winter and the ground was very slippery. When Xiao Juan left, Section Chief Quan didn't know about it. After hanging up the big lantern, he was about to go down the ladder, but when he moved, the ladder slipped.

"Ah, be careful!!!"

It was the morning rush hour, with employees and patients coming in and out. Many people saw the ladder sliding outward, including Lin Sanqi, watching Section Chief Quan fall off the ladder.

It is human instinct to use your hands to support yourself when you fall.

When Section Chief Quan fell, he fell face down, so he instinctively stretched out his hand forward and made a pushing motion.

When he touched the ground, his hands pushed him up, then his body tilted and he fell to the ground, screaming.

When everyone ran over, they found that Section Chief Quan had a 15-centimeter-long cut on his right wrist. Blood was flowing out and the broken bones could be seen with the naked eye. The scene was very tragic.

It turned out that when Section Chief Quan slipped, his right arm hit a large iron nail on the wall that was originally used to fix a banner, causing a large cut from his wrist to his arm.

This really makes matters worse.

"Quickly get some gauze to stop the bleeding!"

"Push the cart over here!"

"Is the orthopedic surgeon here?"

The scene suddenly became chaotic. Li Jingming happened to come to work in the morning. When he heard someone calling for an orthopedic doctor, he rushed over.

"Don't move, Lao Quan. Let me take a look at the wound. Oh, the distal radius is fractured."

Lin Sanqi added: "Not only that, the ligament is also completely ruptured."

Although the medical staff on the scene all studied traditional Chinese medicine, they also had some knowledge of Western medical anatomy. After hearing the two doctors give two diagnoses, they realized the severity of the wound.

Both fractures and ligament ruptures could cause the chief's right hand to become permanently disabled.

If his right hand becomes disabled, Section Chief Quan's career will also be over. He will either retire early or go to the library to retire early.

This is obviously not what Section Chief Quan wants to see.

Dean Shen also rushed over after hearing the news and asked anxiously:

"What's the situation? Is Lao Quan's injury serious?"

Li Jingming told the truth:

"Director, Chief Quan now has two problems: fractured bones and ruptured tendons. Radius fracture is not a big problem for me, I am confident that I can reduce it manually, but there is no way to fix this ruptured tendon."

At this time, a doctor nearby suggested: "How about sending him to Union Hospital?"

As soon as these words were spoken, both Dean Shen, Doctor Li, and even the injured patient's section chief fell silent and were unable to agree.

In the 1950s and 1960s, there was a loud slogan in the medical circles of the capital, or even the medical circles across the country:

"Western medicine has Union Hospital, and traditional Chinese medicine has Kuanjie"

The Union Hospital is very famous, but the Kuanjie Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, as the first, largest and most authoritative traditional Chinese medicine hospital in the country, is also a top hospital standing at the top of the pyramid.

Among hospitals, no one is willing to give in to the other and each thinks they are the best.

In particular, there is a dispute between "Union Hospital" and "Kuanjie Chinese Medicine Hospital" over Chinese and Western medicine.

During the fierce conflict between the new and old thoughts during the May Fourth Movement, the voices of criticism from the intellectual community for the ignorance and backwardness of traditional Chinese medicine grew louder and louder. The Western medicine community also openly broke with the traditional Chinese medicine community, and two distinct opposing camps were formed in the medical and pharmaceutical community.

The Western medical community calls Chinese medicine old medicine and calls themselves new medicine. They regard the dispute between Chinese and Western medicine as a dispute between "new and old", a dispute between advanced and backward.

The traditional Chinese medicine community calls itself Chinese medicine and Western medicine Western medicine, and regards the dispute between Chinese and Western medicine as a "dispute between China and the West," a dispute between foreign countries and China.

The attacks of Western medicine by the Chinese medicine community are difficult to be calm and objective, while the criticisms of Chinese medicine by radical figures in the Western medicine community are even more harsh, and the sarcasm and abuse from both sides are becoming increasingly intense.

In 1922, some foreign doctors and overseas students from the Union Medical College Hospital, in the name of representatives of the Western medical community, demanded that the Beiyang government abolish traditional Chinese medicine, but were rejected by the Beiyang government.

The conflict between Chinese and Western medicine is becoming increasingly fierce.

In 1929, Yu Yunxiu, who had just returned from studying in Japan, became a member of the Central Health Committee of the Ministry of Health. On behalf of the government, he formally proposed a motion to abolish traditional Chinese medicine and integrate with the world.

Wang Jingwei, Chu Minyi and other important politicians of the Republic of China who had studied abroad also advocated the abolition of traditional Chinese medicine.

So that same year, the Central Health Conference of the Republic of China successfully passed a bill to abolish traditional Chinese medicine, preparing to eliminate it from official public hospitals and schools.

This has really stirred up a hornet's nest.

This triggered a vigorous "battle to defend traditional Chinese medicine" across the country. Traditional Chinese medicine doctors from all over the country went to Nanjing to petition and engaged in fierce debates and struggles with the Western medicine community.

Finally, with the joint efforts of the national traditional Chinese medicine community, the bill to abolish traditional Chinese medicine was repealed and traditional Chinese medicine was preserved.

There is also a very interesting face-slapping story here, which is about Mr. Shi Jinmo, a miracle doctor in the Republic of China. (End of this chapter)
